CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings
Chapter 218: Invitation to the Brilliant Night
Jiang Xiyan strode to the window and pulled open the curtains. The sunlight poured in instantly, illuminating the entire room, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart. He looked at the scenery outside the window. The flowers in the garden were gorgeous in the sun, but he had no intention of appreciating them at the moment. "Shen Jingyan, think about it carefully. If you stay with me, you won't lack anything. I can give you everything you want." He said with his back to Shen Jingyan. His voice was slightly softer, but still with unquestionable firmness.
Shen Jingyan sneered, "What I want is freedom and true love. Can you give it to me? What you call giving me everything is just trapping me in this gorgeous cage." She stood up, a look of determination in her eyes.
Jiang Xiyan turned around and looked at Shen Jingyan, with a complex emotion in his eyes. "Freedom? There is no absolute freedom in this world. Do you think you can get freedom by being with Lin Yu? I can give you everything he can give you, and I can give you more." He took a few steps forward and approached Shen Jingyan.
Shen Jingyan took a step back and said, "You are wrong, Jiang Xiyan. When I am with Lin Yu, what I feel is respect and love, not control and possession like you." Her eyes were full of disappointment in Jiang Xiyan.
Jiang Xiyan's expression became even uglier. "Respect and love? Shen Jingyan, you are too naive. In this real world, only power and wealth are the most reliable. Do you think Lin Yu really loves you? Maybe he just likes you..."
"That's enough!" Shen Jingyan interrupted Jiang Xiyan, "Don't think that others are as despicable as you."
"You!" Jiang Xiyan laughed in anger, "Just keep talking tough, there will be a time when you will beg for mercy."
Jiang Xiyan finished speaking, and with a look of anger on his face, he turned around and went upstairs to deal with his own work. His footsteps were heavy and hurried, and every step seemed to be venting his inner anger and helplessness. The stairs made a "dong dong" sound under his footsteps, as if it was the accompaniment of his irritability.
Shen Jingyan watched Jiang Xiyan's back disappear at the corner of the stairs, feeling mixed emotions. She turned her head and looked at the picturesque villa again, but in her eyes, it was like a gorgeous cage. The guards outside were like the guards of the cage, which made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Ye Chen wandered downstairs of Lin Xi's building, his heart full of entanglement and expectation. The night breeze blew gently, blowing up the corners of his clothes, but it could not calm the waves in his heart. His footsteps paused and moved under the street lights, as if he was struggling silently. Finally, he took a deep breath, made a decision, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to Lin Xi.
"There's an important banquet tonight. Would you mind accompanying me? In return, I'll give you a surprise. Just treat it as a way to relax. How do you think?"
In M City, the lights at night are as bright as the Milky Way shining on the world. Lin Xi had just finished her work in the study, stretched her stiff body, and was about to relax for a while. She glanced at the time inadvertently, but unexpectedly saw the message from Ye Chen. She sat up slightly, staring at the screen of her mobile phone, with a flash of surprise and hesitation in her eyes. This sudden invitation caught her off guard. She didn't know why Ye Chen invited her to the banquet at this time.
Lin Xi immediately sent a message: "Where?" After sending it, she bit her lip unconsciously, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and waited anxiously for a reply. She was full of curiosity. Where would this party be held? Who would attend? Her thoughts drifted in various speculations.
"can."
"I'll wait for you." Ye Chen replied quickly this time. In less than a minute, the message came. After seeing the reply, Lin Xi frowned slightly, wondering what kind of occasion this banquet would be. She bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of curiosity and expectation in her eyes. Then, she quickly turned off the computer, got up and walked to the cloakroom. Her steps were light and firm, as if she was heading towards an unknown adventure.
As soon as she entered the cloakroom, Lin Xi's eyes quickly scanned the many clothes. There were a variety of clothes of various colors and styles, like a colorful garden. But her eyes were finally attracted by an elegant sky blue evening dress. Her eyes lit up, and she gently picked up the dress, stroking her fingers on the fabric, and it felt as smooth as flowing lake water. The color of the dress was like the deep night sky and the tranquil ocean, exuding a mysterious and charming atmosphere. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
Lin Xi carefully put on the evening dress, stood in front of the mirror, and gently turned her body. The hem of the skirt fluttered with it, like a blooming blue flower, elegant and moving. The evening dress was cut just right, fitting her body curves and showing her graceful figure. She also carefully matched a pair of silver high heels, with slender heels, making her figure more upright and tall. She tiptoed slightly and looked around at her figure, her eyes full of confidence. She put on a pair of simple diamond earrings, the light of the earrings flickered in her ears, adding a sense of refinement to her. Finally, she picked up a small silver handbag with a blue gem inlaid on it, which echoed and complemented the evening dress. Lin Xi looked at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. She took a deep breath, then walked out of the room with light steps and went downstairs.
As soon as Lin Xi got downstairs, she saw Ye Chen. Ye Chen was wearing a classic black suit. He was standing in the middle of the living room, his hands hanging naturally, his posture as straight as a pine tree. The fabric of his suit was of high quality, and it shone slightly under the light, making it look low-key and luxurious. The black suit was like a curtain in the night, highlighting his calmness and mystery. When Ye Chen saw Lin Xi coming downstairs, his eyes lit up instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He smiled and walked forward with brisk steps, stretched out his hand to Lin Xi, and whispered, "You are so beautiful tonight." His eyes always stayed on Lin Xi, full of appreciation and praise. That look was like warm sunshine, sprinkling on Lin Xi's body, making her feel warm.
Lin Xi blushed slightly, gently held Ye Chen's hand, and responded: "You are also handsome." She lowered her head, her eyes were a little shy, but the corners of her mouth could not help but rise. Her shyness was like the dew in the morning, crystal clear and moving.
"You will definitely be the star of the party tonight." Ye Chen's eyes were filled with affection, which he himself did not even notice. His words were like a gentle breeze, brushing past Lin Xi's ears, making her feel an inexplicable joy.
"Let's go," Ye Chen took out a beautiful gift box from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xi, "This is for you." The gift box was beautifully packaged, like a work of art. Lin Xi opened the box and found a beautiful brooch. The brooch was uniquely designed and inlaid with brilliant gems, which sparkled brightly under the light.
"Thank you, Brother Ye Chen." Lin Xi raised her lips, and she couldn't hide her bright smile. Her smile was like a blooming flower, beautiful and moving.
The night of M City was decorated with bright lights like a dream. The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians shuttled between the lights and shadows of neon lights. Ye Chen stretched out his arm elegantly, slightly turned sideways, smiled and motioned to Lin Xi to hold his arm, and whispered, "Let's go." His eyes were full of expectation and tenderness, and under the reflection of the street lights, he looked particularly charming. His elegance was like an ancient noble, exuding charming charm.
"Yeah." Lin Xi nodded gently, with a shy smile on her face. She naturally took his arm, and their arms touched lightly, as if there was an electric current passing through. They walked towards Ye Chen's car together, with light steps and tacit understanding. At this time, the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness at night, but it did not affect the warmth that gradually rose in their hearts. Their figures intertwined under the light, like a beautiful painting.
Arriving at the car, Ye Chen quickly walked to the passenger side, opened the door of the Maybach in a gentlemanly manner, and protected Lin Xi's head with one hand above the door. His movements were gentle and meticulous, full of care. Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat, she gently adjusted the hem of her skirt, and her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and expectation. The car was filled with a faint leather scent, which made people feel comfortable and luxurious. The softness of the seat was just right, as if hugging her.
"Do you like Maybach?" Ye Chen closed the car door, walked around to the driver's seat, got in the car, and asked Lin Xi with a smile. His eyes were full of expectation, as if he was waiting for her answer.
"Not really. Do you like this car very much?" Lin Xi tilted her head slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and looked through the car window at the bustling streets outside. The lights on the street were flickering, like countless stars dancing.
"Yeah." Ye Chen nodded slightly, and said as he started the car, "Its performance and comfort are both good. Moreover, its exterior design is also in line with my aesthetics, simple and elegant." As he spoke, his eyes focused on the front, and his hands skillfully operated the car. The car started slowly and merged into the traffic on the street. The wheels rolled on the road, making a slight sound, as if telling a beautiful story.
"By the way, what kind of party is it tonight?" Lin Xi looked at Ye Chen, her eyes full of curiosity. The street lights kept flashing, casting alternating light and dark shadows on her face.
"It's a charity dinner, and celebrities from all walks of life will attend." Ye Chen answered while driving the car attentively. He had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be full of expectations for the dinner. The night view of the city kept receding outside the car window, and the lights of the high-rise buildings were dazzling, forming a gorgeous picture.
