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

Jiang Xiyan sighed deeply with helplessness on his face, and that sigh seemed to carry endless loss and frustration. "Forget it, since you are so stubborn and unwilling to tell me the reason, then I won't tell you." He muttered to himself while slowly rolling up the car window. As the car window gradually rose, isolating the noise and disturbance from the outside world, Jiang Xiyan drove the car steadily into the villa area.

The wheels turned rapidly, rolling over the rainwater accumulated on the road, instantly splashing crystal clear water. The water splashes jumped high and then fell quickly, as if they also knew the dissatisfaction deep in the owner's heart and were venting it in this unique way.

After entering the villa, Jiang Xiyan did not get out of the car immediately, but sat quietly in the car, staring at the front through the windshield. After a while, he pushed open the door and walked into the house with steady steps.

As soon as he entered the hall, Jiang Xiyan's eyes involuntarily fell on Shen Jingyan.

She stood there gracefully, like a blooming flower, exuding charming charm. However, Jiang Xiyan had no intention to appreciate this beauty at the moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his chin lightly with his fingers, and began to carefully look at the woman in front of him from top to bottom.

At this time, the lights in the hall seemed particularly soft and warm, with golden light falling in every corner, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. But even so, this warm light still could not melt the huge piece of ice between the two of them, but made the atmosphere even more solemn.

Finally, Jiang Xiyan broke the silence: "You are really not polite at all! But..." At this point, he paused for a moment, and suddenly raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, "I admire your straightforward nature. So you can rest assured, as long as you do your job well, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

"Jiang Xiyan, you should be aware of my situation. I am now heavily in debt and urgently need a large amount of funds to fill the gap. So please tell me quickly, how much salary can I get if I work as a public relations assistant in your company?" Shen Jingyan clenched her fists tightly, her voice trembling slightly, revealing her deep anxiety and uneasiness.

Jiang Xiyan sat on the sofa expressionlessly, his cold eyes staring at Shen Jingyan in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a mocking arc: "Why? Are you so eager to get into the money?"

Hearing this, Shen Jingyan's heart suddenly ached, but a sarcastic smile quickly appeared on her face. That smile seemed particularly stiff and bitter, like a flower that had been destroyed by the cold wind, and had long lost its former beauty and vitality. "Isn't all this thanks to you? Tell me quickly, how much income can this job bring me?"

Jiang Xiyan stood up slowly, his slender figure looked even more upright and stern under the light. He walked to the counter beside him, took a bottle of red wine from the wine rack gracefully, then skillfully opened the cork and poured himself a full glass. Then, he picked up the wine glass and walked step by step to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and stopped.

At this time, it was pouring rain outside the window, and the dense raindrops kept hitting the window glass, making a crackling sound. The whole city was shrouded in a hazy rain and fog, and the high-rise buildings in the distance were looming, like a mysterious and spectacular flowing painting.

Jiang Xiyan quietly stared at the rain outside the window, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand. The scarlet liquid in the glass rippled back and forth with his movements, emitting an attractive luster. After a moment, he slowly turned around, his eyes fell on Shen Jingyan again, and then he opened his thin lips and uttered two words lightly: "Eighty thousand."

"So little?" Shen Jingyan frowned and looked at Jiang Xiyan in front of her in disbelief. She originally thought that the salary for this job would be considerable, but the number in front of her was far below her expectations.

Jiang Xiyan glanced at Shen Jingyan, his lips slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile: "Hmph, you're just a small assistant. Do you still expect to get a high salary? Let me tell you, this is already the highest salary I can give you. If you feel dissatisfied, you can find another job. There are many people who want to do this job anyway!" When he said this, there was obviously a hint of impatience in his tone.

Shen Jingyan bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, in that case, I will report tomorrow." Although she was not satisfied with the salary, she urgently needed a job to make a living.

Hearing Shen Jingyan's agreement, Jiang Xiyan just responded lightly, then picked up the red wine glass on the table as if nothing had happened, and took a sip leisurely. Under the light, the dark red wine was shining like a gem with a mysterious and attractive light.

At this moment, Shen Jingyan seemed to suddenly think of something. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang, in addition to being an assistant in your company, if I can also be responsible for cooking, cleaning and other chores in your villa, then can you give me a higher salary?" As she spoke, a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Xiyan put down his wine glass, thought for a moment, and then responded decisively: "Okay, for all these jobs combined, I'll give you a total of 15 per month!" His answer was brief and powerful, without any hesitation.

Shen Jingyan couldn't help but secretly clench her fists when she heard this, and was obviously still a little dissatisfied with the salary. But she also knew that she didn't have much room for bargaining, so she could only suppress her inner reluctance and turned to the printer beside her. As the buzzing sound of the printer started up resounded throughout the quiet room, the atmosphere instantly became a little tense.

Soon, a printed contract was handed to Jiang Xiyan. "Mr. Jiang, please sign here!" Shen Jingyan said expressionlessly.

Jiang Xiyan slowly turned around, looked at Shen Jingyan with a half-smile, and teased: "Why, Shen Jingyan, it's only 15, are you still worried that I can't afford it?"

"This is just a guarantee. Who knows if you will suddenly cheat in the middle of the process?" Shen Jingyan stared at Jiang Xiyan closely, her eyes seemed to be burning with a flame, full of vigilance. She took two steps forward cautiously, and then handed the pen in her hand to Jiang Xiyan.

Jiang Xiyan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Shen Jingyan like this. He took the pen and signed his name on the paper without hesitation. Then he said in a tone so cold that ice chips could almost fall out of it: "Okay, this is fine, you are finally satisfied!"

Shen Jingyan tilted her head slightly, glanced at Jiang Xiyan quickly, and said, "Hurry up and cook!" Then she turned around and hurried to the kitchen. At this time, the lights in the kitchen seemed particularly warm and bright, and the soft light fell in every corner, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. In contrast, the spacious hall seemed a little deserted and lonely, forming a very sharp contrast between the two.

Jiang Xiyan's eyes involuntarily followed Shen Jingyan's receding figure. For some reason, an indescribable warmth welled up in his heart. This sudden feeling surprised even him. He couldn't help shaking his head, as if he wanted to get rid of this strange emotion and restore his usual calmness and rationality. However, that warmth was like a stubborn weed, always lingering in his heart. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and said to himself: "Huh, it's only been a short while since I last saw him, how come this guy has become so greedy for money?"

At 5pm in M ​​City, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the tall buildings, covering the entire city with a warm golden coat. On the streets, vehicles are constantly flowing, and people are hurrying home from get off work. In the park in the distance, some elderly people are playing with their children, and their laughter echoes in the air.

Lin Xi returned home and washed up tiredly. She looked at the city scenery outside the window, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. At this time, she picked up her mobile phone and saw the message from Ye Chen.

"I haven't seen you for a day. Did you miss me? Are you free tonight? How about having dinner together?"

Lin Xi smiled, as if all the fatigue of the day had dissipated at this moment. She immediately called. The call was quickly connected, and Lin Xi said gently: "Ye Chen, of course I miss you. I'm looking forward to having dinner together tonight." Ye Chen laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "Then I'll go book a restaurant now and send you the location later."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi was in an especially good mood. She looked out the window again. The sun was setting and the lights in the city began to light up one by one. The traffic on the street was still busy, but at this moment she no longer felt tired and lonely. She began to carefully choose the clothes to wear in the evening.

Lin Xi opened the wardrobe and looked through the clothes one by one. She finally chose a sky blue dress, the color of which was like the clear sky, giving people a fresh and peaceful feeling. The dress was soft in texture and the close-fitting cut highlighted her elegant figure. She paired it with a pair of white flat shoes, which were simple and comfortable.

She picked up a silver necklace and gently put it on her neck. The crystal pendant on the necklace flickered softly under the light. She turned around in front of the mirror and looked at her outfit with satisfaction. She imagined Ye Chen's surprised expression when he saw her.
