CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings

He glanced at the time and it was already seven in the morning. After getting up and washing up, he walked out of the bedroom and saw Lin Xi still sleeping on the sofa. She was sleeping very peacefully with a faint smile on her face, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

Ye Chen walked to the sofa expressionlessly, quietly looking at Lin Xi's sleeping face. A complex emotion surged in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. He did not move, just stood there, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Ye Chen stood up calmly and walked towards the sofa. His eyes were calm, as if nothing in the world could disturb his heartstrings. He reached out his hand, gently shook Lin Xi's shoulder, and said in a calm tone: "Lin Xi, get up."

Lin Xi slowly opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Ye Chen, a smile of surprise appeared on her face. She hurriedly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and said with expectation in her eyes: "Ye Chen, good morning."

"Morning." Ye Chen nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, and asked softly, "How did you sleep last night?"

"I slept well, thank you." Lin Xi said, still smiling on her face and eyes full of gratitude.

"Well, you're welcome." Ye Chen's tone remained calm, and then asked, "Are you hungry? I'll make breakfast."

"No, I'm not hungry." Lin Xi waved her hand quickly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, "I want to go wash up first."

"Okay, the bathroom is over there, you can go there by yourself." Ye Chen said in a calm tone.

Lin Xi nodded, stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Ye Chen looked at her back, his eyes as calm as water, just standing there quietly, as if thinking about something, but also as if thinking about nothing.

After Lin Xi finished washing up, she walked out of the bathroom and saw Ye Chen busy in the kitchen. She walked to the kitchen door and looked at Ye Chen's back, and she felt inexplicably moved. She didn't know why she had such feelings for this seemingly ordinary boy, she only knew that she didn't want to see him get hurt.

She walked gently behind Ye Chen and said softly, "Ye Chen, thank you."

He gently held Lin Xi's hand and said calmly, "You're welcome. It's nothing."

A trace of sadness flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, and her tears rolled in her eyes. She looked at Ye Chen's face and said, "Ye Chen, I know you are a very indifferent person, but I believe that you will definitely fall in love with me."

Ye Chen didn't say anything, he turned and walked out of the kitchen. He came to the living room, sat on the sofa, and lit a cigarette. He took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then slowly exhaled the smoke. His brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes were full of contradictions and entanglements, he didn't know how to face Lin Xi's feelings.

After a while, Lin Xi came out of the kitchen. She saw Ye Chen sitting on the sofa smoking, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She walked to Ye Chen and sat down.

She looked at Ye Chen's face and said, "Ye Chen, I know you can't accept my feelings now, but I will wait for you. I believe that one day, you will fall in love with me."

Ye Chen looked at Lin Xi quietly. He extinguished his cigarette and walked in front of you with a complicated expression, "Lin Xi, I know you like me, but I..."

Lin Xi said: "Ye Chen, what do you want to say?"

"I..." Ye Chen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, his tone was a little heavy, "I just treat you as a friend, I don't have any other thoughts."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "I don't want to be just friends..."

"Lin Xi, what are you doing?" Ye Chen put out his cigarette, frowned slightly, turned to look at Lin Xi, with a little helplessness in his eyes, and said, "I said, I just have a good impression of you, not love you."

Lin Xi had tears in her eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and she said with a trembling voice: "Ye Chen, I know you just have a crush on me now, but feelings can be cultivated slowly. I believe that as long as I work hard, you will definitely like me."

"I don't want to deceive you." Ye Chen stood up slowly and walked to the window with a slightly heavy step. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his head slightly, and stared at the city outside the window that gradually became clearer under the morning sun. At this moment, his back looked a little lonely and desolate, as if he was out of tune with this bustling and noisy world.

"I don't want to waste your time." Ye Chen's voice was low and helpless, like a fallen leaf drifting in the wind, gently falling to the ground.

Hearing this, Lin Xi's heart suddenly tightened. She took a step forward without hesitation, with a determined light in her eyes, looking straight at Ye Chen's back. She clenched her fists tightly, as if she wanted to give herself some courage in this way.

"Ye Chen, I don't care about the length of time, I only care about you!" Lin Xi's voice was clear and loud, with a hint of eagerness and desire. This sentence was like a flame bursting out from the deepest part of her heart, hot and strong.

However, facing Lin Xi's sincere expression of emotion, Ye Chen just shook his head. He turned around, calmly met Lin Xi's expectant eyes, and slowly said: "Lin Xi...relationships are not something you can change just because you don't care about the length of time. It requires too many factors to support it, and between us... maybe we don't have these conditions."

"I just like you." Lin Xi bit her pink lips tightly, and her stubborn eyes shot straight at Ye Chen, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Don't you understand yet?" Ye Chen sighed heavily, shook his head helplessly, turned around slowly, and in his eyes as deep as a pool of water, there was a hint of indescribable helplessness at this moment, "I'm not suitable for you."

Hearing this, Lin Xi's heart suddenly tightened, but she was still unwilling to give up. She took a step forward eagerly and asked, "Is it suitable? Won't we know if we start dating?" Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner anxiety and expectation.

Ye Chen looked at the persistent girl in front of him, and a ripple appeared in his heart. He walked slowly to Lin Xi, staring at her eyes seriously, with a firm look and a hint of concern. He slowly said, "Lin Xi, I really don't have the heart to fall in love now, and..." At this point, he paused for a moment, as if he couldn't bear to continue.

"And what?" Lin Xi asked impatiently, his hands unconsciously clenching the corners of his clothes.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, I don't want to hurt you. Once a relationship starts, if it doesn't end well, it may be a huge pain for you. So, while it's still possible, it's better for us to keep our distance."

After hearing these words, Lin Xi felt that the whole world suddenly dimmed. She slowly lowered her head, not daring to look into Ye Chen's eyes again, fearing that her tears would roll out uncontrollably. After a moment of silence, she suppressed her inner sadness and said calmly, "Okay, you work? I'll leave first." As she spoke, a trace of loss flashed across her eyes. That lonely figure looked so lonely and helpless.

"I'm not working today, please wait a moment." Ye Chen said as he quickly picked up his phone and sent a voice message. Then, he gently put the phone back into his pocket, turned to look at Lin Xi, and said softly, "I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

"No thanks." Lin Xi waved her hand and refused as if her sensitive nerves were touched. Then, she turned around and hurriedly prepared to leave, as if staying for one more second would make her fall into deeper pain.

In the hospital ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, Xia Qingcheng, who had been sleeping peacefully, slowly opened her heavy eyelids. Her consciousness gradually woke up from the chaos, but her body still felt extremely weak and tired.

Xia Qingcheng tried to move her body, but then a piercing pain came from her foot. She remembered that she had been in a terrible car accident, and her injured foot was wrapped in a thick bandage, unable to move at all. Every slight movement was like thousands of fine needles piercing her at the same time, making her gasp.

"You're awake!" Jiang Xiyan sat aside, his eyes focused on the computer screen, his fingers constantly tapping the keyboard. When he heard the noise, he just raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Xia Qingcheng who walked in, and then quickly turned his eyes back to the computer, speaking in a light tone. His voice was calm, as if the appearance of this person in front of him did not cause him much emotional fluctuation.

"Where's my child?" Xia Qingcheng's face was as pale as paper, and she grabbed Jiang Xiyan beside her with trembling hands, her eyes full of fear and despair. Her originally beautiful face was now distorted by pain, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

"You were hit by a car, and the child... miscarried!" Jiang Xiyan said expressionlessly, as if it was just a trivial matter. He looked at Xia Qingcheng indifferently, without any pity or guilt in his eyes.

Hearing this news, Xia Qingcheng was struck by lightning, her body shook violently, and she almost collapsed to the ground. She couldn't believe what she heard. The little life that once beat in her belly was gone. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiyan heartbrokenly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you so heartless? He is your child, and now he has been aborted. Aren't you sad at all?"

Jiang Xiyan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile: "Why should I be sad? I told you a long time ago that I don't love you at all. All this is just obtained by your trickery. A forced melon is not sweet. You should know this very well. Now that something has happened, you blame me instead? It's ridiculous!"
