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

Chapter 240: Victims of Clinging to the Powerful

Xia Qingcheng stared straight at Jiang Xiyan in front of her, but her beautiful eyes were filled with endless despair and pain.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured in a low, hoarse, almost broken voice: "I've loved you for so long, but it ended up like this..." The words seemed not to come from her throat, but a sigh from the darkest and heaviest part of her heart.

Jiang Xiyan just lowered his head slightly when he heard this and started to work on the task at hand. The pen in his hand danced rapidly on the document like a flash of lightning, and he seemed to be completely unconcerned about the sadness of the woman beside him.

After a moment, he slowly said, "If it's not too late for you to regret now, I can dissolve this marriage with you anytime and anywhere." There was no emotion in his words.

However, facing Jiang Xiyan's extremely cold words, Xia Qingcheng suddenly sneered. The cold laughter echoed in the air, each of which was filled with endless bitterness.

Then, her originally dull eyes suddenly lit up and instantly became extremely firm, as hot and scorching as two balls of blazing flames.

"Divorce? Absolutely not!" She spat out these words through gritted teeth, her tone so firm that there was no room for maneuver.

"What qualifications do you have to make conditions to me? If you hadn't used tricks to force me to marry you, I wouldn't even look at you." Jiang Xiyan raised his head, his eyes filled with anger and disgust.

His fingers tapped the table lightly, making a crisp sound, as if expressing his inner dissatisfaction and irritability. The atmosphere in the office became extremely tense, as if a storm was about to come. The sunlight outside the window seemed to have lost its temperature, becoming cold and dazzling.

Xia Qingcheng looked at Jiang Xiyan's cold expression, her heart ached. Her lips trembled, tears kept falling, "Jiang Xiyan, can't you have a little bit of pity for me? Even just a little bit." As she spoke, she slowly walked to Jiang Xiyan's desk, her hands trembling on the table, her eyes full of pleading.

Jiang Xiyan didn't even raise his head, still concentrating on the work in his hands. He frowned slightly, and tapped the document impatiently with the pen in his hand, "Pity? Do you think you deserve it? From the moment you designed me to marry you, you should have known that there would be today's result." His words were like a sharp blade, stabbing Xia Qingcheng's heart fiercely.

"I just love you too much, I don't want to lose you." Xia Qingcheng choked up and said, her body trembling slightly, tears blurring her vision. She reached out to pull Jiang Xiyan's clothes, but Jiang Xiyan quickly dodged.

Jiang Xiyan seemed to have lost all his strength, and finally slowly raised his extremely heavy head. However, what he saw was a pair of eyes full of disgust and aversion. He squinted his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness, and at the same time, he unconsciously took a small step back, saying in a cold and resolute tone: "Your so-called love only makes me feel extremely disgusted! From the beginning to the end, the person I love is not you at all, why can't you understand this?"

Xia Qingcheng's body trembled violently, and she stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. She stared at Jiang Xiyan in front of her with despair on her face. Her beautiful eyes, which were once lively, were now dim and lifeless. Her hands were like puppets with their strings cut off, drooping limply and lifelessly on both sides of her body. She asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be... Could it be that I don't even have the slightest qualification to receive your care?"

Jiang Xiyan threw the pen in his hand impatiently, letting it roll and jump on the large desk. Then, he leaned back and leaned heavily on the back of the chair, staring straight ahead with indifference, and said coldly: "I don't want to argue with you about this topic anymore. Now, please leave here immediately and don't bother me anymore. I have a mountain of work waiting to be dealt with."

Xia Qingcheng sat quietly in the wheelchair, like a lifeless sculpture. Her eyes were empty, as if the whole world had left her. She covered her face tightly with both hands, and suppressed and low sobs came out from between her fingers: "Why? How did things turn out like this? I used to believe that as long as I worked hard, I would be able to touch your heart one day and make you fall deeply in love with me. But why is reality so cruel and ruthless?"

Jiang Xiyan suddenly stood up from his seat, his tall body instantly exuding an invisible sense of oppression. He raised his head slightly, staring coldly at Xia Qingcheng in front of him with a condescending attitude.

"What's the point of saying this now?" Jiang Xiyan said this expressionlessly, then turned and strode towards the window. He stopped in front of the window, quietly looking at the prosperous and unfamiliar city scenery outside the window, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him. His tone was as cold as the cold wind in winter, without any emotional fluctuations, "Go away, I don't want to see you again."

Xia Qingcheng couldn't help but tremble when she heard this. She slowly lowered her hands that had been covering her face tightly. Her originally delicate and beautiful face was now covered with traces of tears. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she stared at Jiang Xiyan's broad and resolute back with a sad look. She asked in a hoarse voice with endless grief: "Jiang Xiyan, are you so cruel? I love you so much, why do you treat me so cruelly?"

However, facing Xia Qingcheng's heart-wrenching questioning, Jiang Xiyan remained unmoved. He still kept his back to Xia Qingcheng, and didn't even turn his head. His voice was as cold as ice, and he responded ruthlessly: "Your efforts are just your own wishful thinking. From the beginning to the end, I have never asked you for anything."

Xia Qingcheng's heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of sharp blades at the same time, and she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe. She stared blankly at Jiang Xiyan's resolute back, tears rolling down her face, wetting her clothes. In the end, she was completely desperate and could no longer utter a word. She just turned her head silently to look at the maid beside her, and said in a weak but firm voice: "Push me back..."

In the early morning, the sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. When Lin Xi woke up, Ye Chen had already gone to the company. The room was quiet. She walked out of the room and heard a slight sound coming from the kitchen, so she walked over. Ye Ziyuan was busy in the kitchen, and the stove was steaming.

Lin Xi walked into the kitchen and asked, "Ziyuan, why haven't you heard from Shen Jingyan recently?"

Ye Ziyuan frowned slightly, stirring the porridge in the pot, and responded: "She was imprisoned by Jiang Xiyan!"

Lin Xi's face was full of surprise, her eyes wide open, "How could this happen? Doesn't that mean her wedding with Lin Yu can't be held?"

Ye Ziyuan sighed and put down the spoon in her hand. "Jingyan has always liked Jiang Xiyan, but Lin Yu likes Shen Jingyan. In this love triangle between them, I really don't know who will win in the end!"

Lin Xi also sighed and said, "Fate always plays tricks on people. The relationships of rich people are always torn apart by various factors!"

Afterwards, Lin Xi and Ye Ziyuan were busy preparing breakfast. After they finished making breakfast and ate a little, they went out.

As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw a bustling crowd of people and cars coming and going on the street outside.

But as soon as she went out, the people sent by Lin Xi's father to look for her found her. Lin Xi soon realized that someone was following her, and she hurriedly quickened her pace, trying to get rid of them.

However, she was outnumbered and soon caught up by the burly bodyguards. "Miss, come back with us." At this time, the sun was a little dazzling, and Lin Xi looked at the bodyguards helplessly with a frown.

The bodyguards said firmly, "I won't go back! I won't marry someone I don't love!"

Lin Xi said with a stubborn look on her face. The bodyguards ignored Lin Xi's resistance, held her up on both sides, and forcibly took her into the car and took her back to City M.

At noon, the sun shines down on M City, making the whole city sparkle. The streets are crowded with cars and pedestrians.

Lin Xi's father's luxurious house is located in a quiet place. The tall iron gate shows majesty, and the stone pillars beside the gate are exquisitely carved. Walking into the house, the wide courtyard is covered with green grass and blooming flowers. The fountain sparkles with crystal water in the sun. The main house is a magnificent European-style building, with white walls and dark roofs, which is grand and solemn. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the light, allowing people to vaguely see the luxurious decorations inside.

Lin Xi's father, with his tall stature and dignified face, stood quietly in front of the window, his deep eyes gazing at the picturesque scenery outside, but his handsome face was slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something troubling in his heart.

He slowly turned his head and solemnly instructed the housekeeper who had been standing silently beside him: "This time, you must keep a close eye on Lin Xi no matter what. You must not let her have the chance to escape again."

The butler quickly bent down and responded with great respect, "Master, don't worry. I have made thorough arrangements in advance and will send enough reliable people to guard the key positions to ensure that the young lady cannot escape."

At the same time, Lin Xi, who was forcibly taken back to the mansion, was in her boudoir, full of anger and unwillingness. Her pretty face turned red with anger, her mouth was pouting, her beautiful eyes stared fiercely out of the window, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "Dad, just because you want to get close to those so-called powerful people, do you have to be so cruel as to sacrifice your daughter's lifelong happiness?"
