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

Chapter 238: Social Events After the Banquet

Shen Jingyan's beautiful face frowned slightly at this moment, like a delicate flower blown by the breeze, with a little displeasure. Her clear and bright eyes were staring at Jiang Xiyan in front of her at this moment, without any warmth in her eyes, as if the person standing in front of her was a stranger. Her voice was as cold as frost in winter: "What do you mean I am your woman? Have you forgotten that you are already married? What, are you trying to make me your underground lover who can't see the light of day?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiyan showed an anxious look on his face. He quickly stepped forward and tried to grab Shen Jingyan's hand, but she quickly dodged him. He explained anxiously: "Jingyan, listen to me, the marriage between Xia Qingcheng and I is just an exchange of interests. I don't have the slightest feeling for her at all."

"This is your business and has nothing to do with me!" However, Shen Jingyan didn't seem interested in his explanation. She turned her head away abruptly, no longer willing to look at the man who once made her heart beat.

At this moment, through the window, one can see that the night outside is as deep and boundless as thick ink. The stars in the sky are like gems inlaid on the black sky, flashing a faint but charming light. They hang there quietly, witnessing the emotional dispute between the two people in the house, which is full of entanglements and contradictions.

"I know you still have me in your heart," Jiang Xiyan suddenly stopped, as if he had made some kind of decision. He slowly turned around and looked straight at Shen Jingyan. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, revealed a hint of imperceptible sincerity at this moment.

"Jingyan, believe me, I will make you happy." His voice was low and firm, as if this sentence was not only a promise, but also a vow.

However, Shen Jingyan was not moved at all when she heard this. Instead, she sneered and raised her voice unconsciously: "Is your happiness to hide me in a dark corner like a secret that cannot be seen in the light?"

Jiang Xiyan was startled when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses and explained with some emotion: "I did this for your own good, to protect you, don't you understand?"

"Protect me? Humph! This is just your excuse. All this is just due to your possessiveness!" Shen Jingyan's eyes were wide open and she ruthlessly exposed his disguise.

Jiang Xiyan's face flashed with embarrassment when his real intention was revealed, but it was soon replaced by anger. He took a sudden step forward, forced Shen Jingyan to the corner, and supported her body with both hands, forming a restraining posture.

At this moment, the distance between the two was so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing. Jiang Xiyan's originally bright eyes were now flashing with a scorching light. He stared at Shen Jingyan intently and said word by word: "Yes, I admit that I am possessive, because you belong to me, and no one can take you away from me. I will never allow any man to get close to you!"

Shen Jingyan stared at Jiang Xiyan expressionlessly. Her beautiful eyes were as cold and deep as a cold pond. It seemed that she would freeze to death if she looked at him any longer. She closed her lips tightly, as if saying one more word would be a blasphemy to herself. The indifference emanating from her bones was chilling. In her eyes, apart from deep disgust, there was no other emotion.

Right next to them, there was a pot of emerald green plants standing quietly. Under the soft light, its leaves glowed with a faint luster, like a carefully carved work of art. However, this peaceful and tranquil atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere between the two.

"Are you...really blaming me?" Jiang Xiyan's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of hurt flashed across his eyes, like a wounded beast, helpless and pitiful. "Do you blame me for not being able to protect you well, which caused you to suffer so much grievance and hardship?"

"Oh, who needs your protection?" Shen Jingyan sneered and pushed Jiang Xiyan hard. Her actions were merciless, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment in her heart through this push. "I only pray that you can let me go and give me my freedom!"

Facing Shen Jingyan's fierce resistance, Jiang Xiyan remained unmoved. His powerful hands tightly grasped Shen Jingyan's slender wrists like iron pliers, and he refused to let go no matter how she struggled.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiyan pulled Shen Jingyan up without saying anything and walked towards the depths of the hotel. After walking through a long corridor, they finally stopped in front of a luxurious private room with luxurious decorations. He pushed the door open roughly and then dragged Shen Jingyan into the room. The lights in the room were dim and blurry, and the huge crystal chandelier flickered with a faint light, casting a mysterious and ambiguous color on the entire space.

In the private room, several foreign bosses were already sitting there, talking in fluent English. When they saw Jiang Xiyan and Shen Jingyan coming in, they all stopped talking and looked at them with a smile.

Jiang Xiyan walked towards the group of people quickly with a bright smile and brisk and enthusiastic steps. He opened his lips slightly and said, "Good evening, gentlemen. It is my great honor to meet you here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around gracefully, gently stretched out his right hand, and gently led Shen Jingyan, who was standing not far behind him, to his side. Then, he spoke again, his tone full of pride and joy: "Please allow me to solemnly introduce to everyone, this charming lady standing next to me is my good friend, Shen Jingyan."

One of the foreign bosses responded with a smile: "What a beautiful lady. I'm glad you are here, Ms. Shen."

After everyone took their seats, Jiang Xiyan began to discuss business matters with the foreign bosses. He explained his cooperation plan and advantages, his eyes full of confidence and determination.

Shen Jingyan sat quietly aside, listening to their conversation.

"Ms. Shen, what is your job?"

Shen Jingyan smiled awkwardly, lowered her head slightly, fiddled with the napkin in her hand, and replied: "I run a flower shop."

"Wow, that's amazing. I love flowers," the foreign tycoon exclaimed, clapping his hands lightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiyan smiled and added: "Yes, she is very creative. Her flower shop is full of beautiful flowers." After Jiang Xiyan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jingyan gently.

Shen Jingyan glanced at Jiang Xiyan indifferently, frowned slightly, and said nothing more. She just took a sip of the drink in front of her.

The foreign tycoon looked at Jiang Xiyan with a hint of curiosity and admiration in his eyes, and said, "I heard that you are very successful in business. What is your secret?"

Jiang Xiyan smiled calmly, straightened his body slightly, and replied: "Well, it's all about building good relationships and providing quality products and services. We always strive for excellence. We believe that by putting our customers first and constantly innovating, we can achieve long-term success."

The foreign tycoon nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Impressive. I believe we can have a fruitful cooperation. But I also need to make sure that our interests are well protected."

The foreign tycoon tilted his head slightly, looked at Shen Jingyan, and asked with a smile: "Miss Shen, your flower shop must have many beautiful stories, right?"

Shen Jingyan was slightly stunned, then shook her head gently and said in a calm tone: "It's just some ordinary flower and plant business, there's nothing special about it."

At this time, the lights in the private room seemed to be even dimmer, and the faint light of the huge crystal chandelier swayed slightly in the air, as if it was also uneasy about the awkward atmosphere. The decorative paintings on the wall were looming in the shadows, adding a bit of mystery to the atmosphere.

Jiang Xiyan quickly took over the conversation, looking at Shen Jingyan with tenderness in his eyes, and said: "Jingyan is always so humble, her flower shop is full of art and romance. Every bouquet of flowers is like a small world with unique charm."

Outside the window, the night is still as deep as thick ink. Occasionally, a breeze blows, gently ruffling the curtains, as if telling the unspeakable feelings in the room.

Shen Jingyan frowned, looked at Jiang Xiyan coldly, and said, "Please don't comment on my flower shop casually. You don't know it."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop a little as she spoke. The emerald green plant stood quietly by the side. The sheen on the leaves looked softer under the dim light, but it could not ease the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Xiyan's face flashed with embarrassment, but he quickly regained his composure and said to the foreign bosses with a smile: "Miss Shen is very dedicated to her flower shop. Her creativity and pursuit of beauty are admirable."

The foreign bosses all nodded in agreement. One of them asked again, "Mr. Jiang, how did you and Miss Shen know each other?"

Jiang Xiyan paused for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "She has been in my house since she was a child. We are childhood sweethearts."

The room was so quiet that one could hear everyone's breathing, and the mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere seemed to become even more intense.

Shen Jingyan sneered and said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't speak so ambiguously."

Jiang Xiyan's eyes revealed a hint of loss, but he still kept smiling and said, "Jingyan, you are always so stubborn. But I know that our fate is more than this."

At this moment, the stars outside the window seemed to be brighter, as if witnessing this emotional entanglement.

Shen Jingyan no longer paid attention to Jiang Xiyan, turned to look at the foreign bosses, and said politely: "Gentlemen, I'm sorry to let you listen to our private conversation. Let's talk about business."

The foreign bosses smiled at each other, and one of them said, "Ms. Shen is right, let's get back to the point. Mr. Jiang, your cooperation proposal is indeed very attractive, but we still need some time to consider it."

Jiang Xiyan nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Gentlemen, you can take your time to think about it. I believe that our cooperation will definitely bring rich rewards to everyone."

At this time, the waiter brought some exquisite snacks and drinks. The snacks on the tray were beautifully arranged and exuded an enticing aroma. However, in this tense atmosphere, no one seemed to be in the mood to taste them.

Jiang Xiyan enthusiastically invited the foreign bosses to taste the food, and at the same time looked at Shen Jingyan from time to time, hoping that she could have a taste. But Shen Jingyan was completely unmoved, just sitting there quietly, her eyes still full of indifference.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment. Jiang Xiyan tried to break the deadlock and said with a smile: "These dim sum are the specialties of this hotel. They are very delicious. Miss Shen, you might as well try them."

Shen Jingyan glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm not hungry, thank you."
