CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings
Chapter 219 A Different Night
The car drove smoothly on the busy street. Lin Xi listened to Ye Chen's introduction and became more and more curious about the charity dinner. She imagined who she would meet at the dinner and what kind of scene it would be.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel where the charity dinner was held. The hotel entrance was brightly lit, luxury cars gathered, and people in gorgeous dresses walked into the hotel one after another. After Ye Chen parked the car, he once again gentlemanly opened the door for Lin Xi, and the two walked into the hotel lobby hand in hand.
The lobby is decorated in a magnificent style, with a huge crystal chandelier emitting brilliant light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day. Soft music flows in the air.
"Why did you think of asking me to be your female companion?" Lin Xi asked curiously, blinking her eyes.
"You are my friend." Ye Chen looked ahead intently, concentrating on driving the car, with a slight smile on his face, "You are the first person I thought of. Moreover, I think you are very suitable for such an occasion, and you will be a beautiful scenery at the dinner." His words were full of sincerity and praise, which made Lin Xi's heart surge with warmth. The car drove steadily on the streets of the city and headed towards the venue of the charity dinner.
The banquet was held in a magnificent castle-like building. Outside the castle, the lights were turned on, and the bright lights illuminated the entire courtyard, like a dreamland. Exquisite sculptures were placed on the neatly trimmed lawn, and the fountain sparkled with colorful water under the light, surrounded by blooming flowers, exuding charming fragrance.
Walking into the castle, the spacious hall is magnificent. Huge crystal chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, like twinkling stars. Priceless art paintings hang on the walls, each showing its own unique charm. The smooth marble floor reflects people's figures, as if they are in a mirror world.
Lin Xi and Ye Chen walked into the banquet together. As soon as Lin Xi stepped into the banquet hall, her eyes lit up instantly. She couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, her eyes full of amazement and curiosity, looking around. "This banquet is spectacular, who is the organizer?" She said softly, and at the same time, her pace unconsciously slowed down, as if she was afraid of missing any wonderful details.
"The organizer is Wang Qiang, the richest man in M City, who is also my friend." Ye Chen replied with a smile, with a hint of pride and calmness on his face. He patted Lin Xi's shoulder gently, motioning her to continue walking inside.
"Is he your partner?" Lin Xi turned her head, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and looked at Ye Chen with her head slightly tilted.
"Well, we have many cooperation projects." Ye Chen nodded, his eyes revealing confidence and determination. As he spoke, he took Lin Xi and continued to walk inside to greet the organizers.
Ye Chen brought Lin Xi to Wang Qiang, who was talking to a group of people. When he saw Ye Chen, he immediately smiled warmly, interrupted the conversation with others, and strode towards them.
"Ye Chen, you are finally here!" Wang Qiang said with a smile, and his eyes fell on Lin Xi, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Who is this beautiful lady?"
Ye Chen turned slightly and introduced Lin Xi to Wang Qiang: "This is my friend Lin Xi. Lin Xi, this is the organizer of tonight, Wang Qiang."
Lin Xi smiled and extended her hand to Wang Qiang: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am very happy to attend this charity dinner. It is really spectacular."
Wang Qiang held Lin Xi's hand and shook it gently: "Haha, Miss Lin, thank you for the compliment. Welcome. Ye Chen's friends are my friends. Enjoy yourself tonight."
After the greetings, Ye Chen and Lin Xi walked into the banquet hall. At this time, many celebrities from all walks of life had gathered in the banquet hall. They were either toasting and chatting, or admiring the surrounding decorations and exhibits.
Lin Xi noticed a display area that displayed some items that were about to be auctioned at the charity auction, including precious jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, limited edition artworks, etc. She walked over with interest and carefully viewed each item.
"These items are very valuable." Lin Xi said softly to Ye Chen, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, the purpose of this charity dinner is to raise funds by auctioning these items to help those in need." Ye Chen explained.
Just then, the host walked onto the stage and tapped the microphone, attracting everyone's attention.
"Dear guests, welcome to tonight's charity dinner." The host's voice was clear and loud. "On this beautiful night, we gather together for a common goal - charity. Next, we will start tonight's charity auction. I hope everyone will actively participate and contribute to charity."
The audience burst into warm applause, and the auction officially began. The first item was a dazzling diamond necklace with a unique design. The diamonds sparkled brightly under the lights.
After the starting price was announced, the guests at the scene raised their placards to bid, and the price continued to rise. Looking at the fierce bidding scene, Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh at everyone's enthusiasm for charity.
Ye Chen also showed interest in some of the items, and occasionally he would raise his placard to bid. Lin Xi watched him from the side, eyes full of admiration.
After several rounds of fierce bidding, each item found its new owner, and the charity dinner gradually reached its climax in a warm atmosphere.
During the dinner, Lin Xi also met some other guests, some of whom were entrepreneurs, some were artists, and some were philanthropists. Lin Xi happily communicated with them and shared their views and insights on charity.
As time went by, the charity dinner gradually drew to a close. The host walked onto the stage again, thanked all the guests for coming and supporting him, and announced the total amount of the charity auction tonight and the charity projects that the money would be used for.
There was prolonged applause from the audience, and everyone felt proud to be able to contribute to charity.
Ye Chen and Lin Xi walked out of the banquet hall, the night view outside was still charming.
"Tonight is really meaningful." Lin Xi said with emotion, her eyes sparkling with a bright light, her mouth slightly raised, with a satisfied smile. She recalled the people who bid enthusiastically for charity at the dinner, and her heart was filled with emotion and warmth. At this time, the breeze outside the garage blew gently, bringing a hint of night coolness, but it did not affect the passion in her heart at all.
"Yes, I hope we can bring some small changes to this world." Ye Chen's cold appearance had a hint of warmth. The corners of his mouth also rose slightly, and that warmth seemed to melt his usual coldness, making him look much softer. He turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Xi, with a hint of expectation and relief in his eyes. The lights in the garage were a little dim, but they reflected a little light in his eyes.
They arrived at the garage, and Ye Chen got into the car with steady steps and started the engine skillfully. "Get in the car, I'll take you home!" His voice was low and gentle, revealing a reassuring power. The sound of the engine starting echoed in the garage, as if playing the final movement for this beautiful night.
Lin Xi nodded slightly, got on the passenger seat, looked at Ye Chen and said, "Thank you." Her voice was soft, and her eyes were filled with gratitude and a hint of barely perceptible shyness.
She fastened her seat belt and sat quietly in her seat. Her eyes unconsciously fell on Ye Chen's profile, and a different feeling surged in her heart.
There was a subtle atmosphere in the car, quiet and warm. Ye Chen looked ahead intently, slowly drove out of the garage, and drove on the silent road.
The light from the street lamps occasionally shone on them through the car windows, as if adding a touch of romance to the night.
The trees on both sides of the road swayed gently in the breeze, and the rustling of leaves seemed to be singing along to their journey.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the earth, covering the entire city with a layer of silver gauze and adding a bit of poetry to their journey home.
Shen Jingyan has been in this luxurious villa for three days. The dazzling crystal chandelier emits soft and bright light, but it cannot dispel the oppressive atmosphere in the room. Exquisite wallpapers decorate the walls, and every detail shows luxury, but at this moment it makes people feel particularly cold. The huge French window is half covered by heavy curtains. Outside the window is a picturesque courtyard with green grass, blooming flowers, and fountains sparkling in the sun. However, the two people in the house have no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery.
"Jiang Xiyan, please let me leave here, please?" Shen Jingyan's eyes were full of pleading, her hands unconsciously clenched, and her body trembled slightly. Her voice seemed a little weak in this spacious space, with a hint of helplessness. At this time, the hands of the wall clock were moving tirelessly, and the "tick-tick" sound was particularly clear in the silent room, as if urging something.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Xiyan frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Jingyan. He sat on the comfortable leather sofa, with exquisite European-style cushions behind him, but it did not alleviate the coldness emanating from him at all. On the small coffee table next to the sofa, there was a set of exquisite tea sets, and the fragrance of tea rose, but no one had the heart to taste it.
"Where do I want to go? It's my freedom. Do you think it's fun to imprison me like this every day?" Shen Jingyan stared at Jiang Xiyan angrily, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her chest rose and fell violently. The rage burning in her eyes formed a sharp contrast with the luxurious environment. Her footsteps moved unconsciously on the ground, as if she was looking for a kind of support.
"Interesting," Jiang Xiyan crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and smiled evilly, looking at Shen Jingyan with a relaxed expression, "Shen Jingyan, I like to see you dislike me but can't get rid of me." His smile seemed a little unruly in the bright light, as if he was the master of this luxurious world, wantonly playing with the fate of others. His fingers tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound, like the rhythm of some emotion deep in his heart.
