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

However, that smile was so forced, even more heartbreaking and painful than crying.

She said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Ziyuan, why are you here?" Her words revealed a bit of surprise and a loneliness that was hard to conceal.

Ye Ziyuan did not answer immediately, but walked straight to Shen Jingyan's side. When her hand touched the heavy chain, a strong sense of oppression instantly surged into her heart, causing her heart to sink suddenly.

But she did not back down. Instead, she slowly sat down beside Shen Jingyan and tightly held the other's hands, which had long lost their temperature.

The place where she touched was freezing cold, as if she was holding a piece of thousand-year-old ice. Ye Ziyuan couldn't help but shudder, but she still endured the pain in her heart and asked gently: "Jingyan, I came to see you. Are you...are you okay?" Every word was said so carefully, as if she was afraid that if she was not careful, it would hurt Shen Jingyan's already scarred heart again.

Shen Jingyan shook her head gently, tears welling up in her eyes as if they would fall at any moment, and said, "I'm not okay, Ziyuan, I really don't know what to do. I feel like I'm trapped in a cage and can't escape."

Ye Ziyuan hugged Shen Jingyan tightly, as if she wanted to pass all her strength to her, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Jingyan, no matter what happens, I will do everything I can to help you. You must believe that all difficulties are temporary, and everything will slowly get better. No matter what, we will definitely find a way to help you get out of your current predicament together."

Hearing this, Shen Jingyan's eyes, which were originally filled with fear and helplessness, flickered with a hint of expectation, but at the same time, there was still a little doubt. She asked softly, "Really?"

At this time, Ye Ziyuan slightly loosened her hands around Shen Jingyan, sighed deeply, and then said slowly: "Jingyan, actually at this moment, my heart is also extremely painful and sad. Because... I have divorced Lu Yuchi." Her voice sounded particularly low, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.

Hearing this, Shen Jingyan suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Ziyuan in astonishment. She asked in confusion, "Why? Doesn't everyone say that he loves you very much?"

Ye Ziyuan smiled bitterly, shook her head, and answered with a lonely expression: "Once, I was full of joy to think that he loved me deeply, but that was not the case. Since we got married, we have never experienced the so-called happiness. He put all his energy into work. He goes out before dawn every day and doesn't come home until late at night. The two of us hardly have time to sit down and talk. What's even more unacceptable to me is that he has an extremely close relationship with the female colleagues in the company. They often work overtime together and discuss various work problems together. In comparison, I am like an excluded outsider who can't fit into his world at all?" At the end, Ye Ziyuan finally couldn't suppress the surging sadness in her heart, and tears flowed down her cheeks like a flood that broke through the dam.

Shen Jingyan hugged Ye Ziyuan tightly and patted her back gently, as if it was a fragile treasure, afraid that the slightest force would hurt her. She whispered: "Ziyuan, no matter what, we have to live well for ourselves. We can't lose ourselves because of others. We must be strong!"

Ye Ziyuan heard this and hugged Shen Jingyan tightly, as if only in this way could she feel a little safe. She seemed to want to draw strength from her, and responded in a trembling voice: "You are right, we must be strong. So, you must also face it bravely, after all, Jiang Xiyan still has you in his heart!"

However, Shen Jingyan just shook her head slightly after hearing this, her eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in them. She choked and said, "But... but he is already married. Even if such love exists, it is just a name without any practical significance. Now that I have fallen into such a situation, what can I do?" Before she finished speaking, big crystal tears rolled down her fair and delicate cheeks like a flood, one drop after another, silently soaking Ye Ziyuan's shoulders.

Ye Ziyuan gently patted Shen Jingyan's back, trying to calm her down, but her own tears kept flowing. After a long while, the two of them calmed down a little.

Ye Ziyuan looked out the window. The clear blue sky was like a gorgeous painting slowly unfolding between heaven and earth. The sky was as blue as if it had been washed by water, pure and clear, without a single cloud blocking it. The deep blue seemed to be able to draw one's soul into it. The sun was warm and unrestrained, pouring down without reservation, covering everything in the world with a layer of dazzling golden gauze.

The breeze blows gently, like a soft hand caressing the earth.

Ye Ziyuan looked out the window at the bright weather that looked like a painting, and thought to himself that if he didn't take Shen Jingyan out to experience this beautiful time, then his trip would be in vain.

There was a determination and eagerness in her eyes. She turned to Shen Jingyan and said, "Jingyan, wait for me for a moment!" After that, she hurried downstairs.

When Ye Ziyuan went downstairs, she saw Jiang Xiyan sitting on the sofa, concentrating on reading a business magazine in his hand. His eyes were deep and focused, as if there were endless business opportunities hidden in the magazine.

Ye Ziyuan walked straight towards Jiang Xiyan without hesitation, with every step firm and resolute. When she stood in front of Jiang Xiyan, she naturally put her hands on her waist, frowned slightly, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Jiang Xiyan, look at today, the sun is shining and the sky is clear, it's a perfect time to go out. You should quickly open the chain on Shen Jingyan's feet, the scenery outside is so pleasant, I really want to take her out for a walk!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan, who had been lowering his head, slowly raised his head. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a cold smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes. In his deep eyes, there was a subtle vigilance, and he responded coldly: "Humph, as long as you can make sure she will never run away!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyuan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the rage that was about to burst out of her heart. Then, she widened her eyes, deliberately raised her voice, and said loudly: "Jiang Xiyan, how could you do this? Don't you even have confidence in yourself? You know, there are guards everywhere here, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the defense is watertight. Instead of trapping her with this chain, you might as well find a way to make her stay by your side willingly!"

Facing Ye Ziyuan's righteous words, Jiang Xiyan just raised his eyebrows, his expression was still extremely cold, and the faint smile was always on his lips. He seemed a little nonchalant and replied casually: "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it!"

Jiang Xiyan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids to look at Ye Ziyuan, as if this person didn't exist in front of him at all, and completely treated her as transparent air.

Ye Ziyuan's face showed deep helplessness, and she could only gently shake her head. A trace of anxiety flashed across her beautiful eyes. Then, she deliberately slowed down her tone and said in an almost pleading tone: "Don't you really want to see Shen Jingyan happy?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his originally cold eyes became a little deep, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. After a long while, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved upwards, and the smile looked quite meaningful. Then, he slowly said: "Ye Ziyuan, in this case, I will give you a chance. As long as you have the ability to make him stay by my side willingly, then from now on, no matter what you say or ask for, I will agree to it."

Hearing this, the light of hope instantly lit up in Ye Ziyuan's eyes, and she couldn't wait to say loudly: "That's great! The first thing to do is to quickly open the chain locked on her! I can assure you that as long as you open the chain, she will never take the opportunity to escape!" At this time, Ye Ziyuan's expression seemed extremely anxious, and her expectant eyes stared straight at Jiang Xiyan, as if she was afraid that the other party would suddenly change his mind.

Jiang Xiyan glanced at Ye Ziyuan standing beside him nonchalantly, and then stood up slowly. His slender figure seemed to be endowed with an innate elegance. Every movement seemed so calm, but naturally exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored or questioned. He casually threw his hand, and the key in his hand flew straight to Ye Ziyuan like an arrow. At the same time, he said in a low and magnetic voice: "Okay, I'll trust you this time!"

Seeing this, Ye Ziyuan stretched out her hands with joy and accurately caught the key that flew towards her. Then, she held the key tightly as if she had obtained the most precious treasure in the world, and turned around without hesitation, running upstairs with brisk steps. Her steps were so light and flexible, just like a happy bird flying freely in the sky.
