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

"Hmm?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes, as deep as a pool of water, slowly moved away from the pile of documents in his hands that seemed to never be finished, and finally fixed on the flickering mobile phone screen beside him. At this moment, he was sitting alone in a spacious and bright office, but at the same time, it was faintly exuding a somewhat desolate atmosphere. When he heard Lin Xi's familiar voice coming from the other end of the microphone, the face that was always tense and serious on weekdays unconsciously revealed a faint smile. He opened his thin lips slightly, and asked gently in a low and magnetic voice: "Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

At the same time, Lin Xi, who was far away in the other side of the city, stood quietly at the door of Ye Ziyuan's house. The dim street lights were like a silent guardian, silently stretching her slender figure to the ground, making her, who was already alone, look even more lonely and helpless.

"I'm in the company, what happened?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously into the phone. At this moment, he was in a spacious and bright office, with the central air conditioner blowing out a constant stream of cool air, but he was unaware of it. Because all his attention had already been focused on Lin Xi on the other end of the phone.

"I...I want to see you, can I?" Lin Xi's soft and slightly eager voice came from the receiver. Although the two were far apart, Ye Chen seemed to be able to clearly feel the urgency and expectation in her tone through this thin telephone line. At the same time, Lin Xi's eyes revealed a trace of confusion that was not easily noticed, just like a ship that lost its way in the vast sea of ​​people, and Ye Chen became the only life-saving straw she could grasp at this moment.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, and gently supported his chin with his left hand, with a faint smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth. He slowly turned his head and looked through the huge French window at the brightly lit, bustling and lively city night scene outside the window. High-rise buildings are lined up one after another, neon lights are flashing, and cars are flowing continuously. The whole city is as full of vitality as a city that never sleeps. However, facing such a beautiful scenery, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but ripple, and he began to hesitate. After all, he is still in a busy working state. If he rashly puts down the work at hand and goes to the appointment, it will probably bring him a lot of trouble and trouble.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore!" Lin Xi said slowly, her tone clearly revealing a deep sense of loss. After she finished speaking, she slowly lowered her head, staring straight at her toes, as if there was something there that attracted all her attention. However, in fact, at this moment, her heart was surging with an indescribable grievance, which was like a tide, hitting her fragile defense wave after wave.

Ye Chen keenly caught the disappointment in her tone and couldn't help feeling a little helpless. He smiled gently and tried to comfort her with a gentle tone: "I'll come to you right after I finish the work I'm doing, okay?"

However, Lin Xi did not show any signs of improvement because of his words. On the contrary, her voice became deeper and deeper, even with a hint of despair: "I'm afraid you don't have a chance." As the words came out, her shoulders began to tremble slightly, as if she could really feel an invisible huge pressure behind her, which made her almost unable to breathe.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's face changed instantly, and his originally relaxed body suddenly tensed up. He quickly sat up straight, his eyes locked tightly on Lin Xi, his eyes full of worry and anxiety: "What do you mean? Why do you say I have no chance? What happened?"

"Because my fiancé actually sent people to try to forcibly capture me back! I had no choice but to flee to City M, just to get rid of that suffocating business marriage. However, now it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the cage of fate after all." Lin Xi's voice trembled, full of endless helplessness and fear. Her originally lively eyes lost their luster at this moment, replaced by deep despair. She stared blankly at the dark corner in the distance, and in a trance, she seemed to have seen the figures of those ferocious monsters who were about to come to arrest her.

"Where are you now?" Ye Chen asked in a low and cold voice from the other end of the phone. His face suddenly became extremely gloomy, just like the sky before a storm. As the voice fell, Ye Chen subconsciously clenched the pen in his hand. Due to excessive force, the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible. "Tell me the exact location, and I will immediately arrange for someone to pick you up."

"I'm at your sister Ziyuan's house. I tried to contact her, but I couldn't get through. I had no choice but to call you for help." Lin Xi's tone became more and more anxious, and her eyes kept scanning the surroundings like a frightened bird, as if every slight sound might indicate the approach of danger. At the same time, her slender hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, so that her knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force, and even trembled a little.

"Don't worry, I'll call Ziyuan right now. You wait for me at her house. Don't go anywhere. I'll be there soon." Ye Chen said as he stood up and quickly tidied up the documents on the table. The documents were scattered all over the floor and he didn't bother to pick them up.

"Her cell phone is unreachable. It's eight o'clock at night. I wonder where she is now?" Lin Xi frowned and paced anxiously at the door. The ground under her feet seemed to become hot.

Ye Chen frowned, quickly put on his coat, and walked out quickly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll call her assistant and ask." His footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, sounding particularly hurried.

"Okay." Lin Xi bit her lip, clasped her hands tightly together, and waited anxiously at the door. Her eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Ye Chen would come soon and take her away from this terrible predicament. The night wind blew, and she couldn't help but shivered and hugged her arms tightly, as if this could bring her a sense of security.

Ye Chen hurried out of the company building. The cool night breeze blew in his face, but he didn't care at all and walked straight to his car. Along the way, he kept calling Ye Ziyuan and her assistant, but no one answered. His worries became more and more intense.

He drove quickly to Ye Ziyuan's home. Along the way, the lights of the city flew before his eyes, but his thoughts were all on Lin Xi. He thought about how helpless and scared Lin Xi must be at the moment, and secretly vowed to protect her.

When he finally arrived downstairs of Ye Ziyuan's house, he saw Lin Xi standing alone at the door. Her petite figure looked particularly thin under the street light. He hurriedly got out of the car and walked quickly towards Lin Xi.

Ye Chen came to Lin Xi's side. He stretched out his broad, warm palm and gently placed it on Lin Xi's weak and trembling shoulder. He comforted her in an extremely gentle and firm tone: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I will be by your side to protect you."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Xi nodded slightly, with a hint of sob in her voice that was hard to conceal, like the cry of a wounded bird: "I... I really don't know what to do. They have been looking for me non-stop, and I feel like a trapped animal in a desperate situation. No matter how hard I struggle, I can't escape this invisible net. I feel like I have no place to hide."

Ye Chen listened to Lin Xi's confession, his deep eyes like a pool of water frowned tightly, as if he was quickly thinking of a response strategy in his mind. After a short silence, he finally said: "Don't think too much for now, come with me, let's go to my residence to avoid the limelight for a while. We will make further plans after we figure out the specific situation."

Lin Xi raised her head and looked at Ye Chen's face full of concern and determination. She couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, but at the same time, she was also a little worried and hesitant: "But...will this bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble? After all, this matter has nothing to do with you."

However, in the face of Lin Xi's concerns, Ye Chen just smiled slightly, and then replied in an unquestionable tone: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. For me, the most critical and important thing now is to ensure your personal safety. Other problems can be solved slowly."

After saying this, Ye Chen took Lin Xi's hand without hesitation and walked towards the car parked not far away. With the slight sound of the car door closing, the car slowly started and sped towards Ye Chen's residence. Along the way, the two were silent, and only Lin Xi's occasional sobbing broke the originally quiet atmosphere in the car. But even so, Ye Chen always held the steering wheel steadily, his eyes focused on the road ahead, as if he wanted to use his own strength to open up a passage to a safe place for Lin Xi.

After visiting her friend Lin Yu in the hospital, Ye Ziyuan returned home after ten o'clock. She dragged her exhausted body and slowly walked into the house, each step seemed so heavy. Turning on the light, the coldness of the house made her sigh slightly, and there was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her breath.

She walked towards the sofa in the living room as usual, and suddenly slumped down on it as if she had lost her support, uttering a slight "hum". At this moment, her eyes accidentally swept across the mobile phone on the coffee table, the screen lit up, and the series of missed call notifications made her heart tighten suddenly, as if being grabbed by an invisible hand.
