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

In the room, the golden carved wallpaper shimmers mysteriously under the soft light, and the gorgeous carpet is as soft as a cloud, making people feel as if they are in a dreamland. In the corner of the room stands an exquisite antique clock, the pendulum swings rhythmically, making a slight "tick-tick" sound. A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and the dazzling light falls on every corner of the room.

Xiao Diyu raised his chin slightly and slapped the carved mahogany table next to him with one hand, making a loud "bang" sound.

"Lin Xi, don't be naive. This marriage is the family's destiny, you can't resist it. Ye Chen? He's just a nobody, what can he give you? And I, Xiao Di Yu, can let you enjoy all the glory and wealth, and give you a stable and worry-free future."

Lin Xi was wearing a dress as white as snow, with delicate lace patterns on the hem. She looked like a lily blooming outside the world. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, soft and shiny. On her delicate oval face, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of stubbornness and unyielding.

She spoke in a trembling voice, waving one hand vigorously forward. The big bed behind her was hung with pink gauze curtains, fluttering gently in the breeze.

"Xiao Di Yu, do you think you can use your power to force me to submit? I tell you, I, Lin Xi, will never give in. I love Ye Chen, and he is incomparable to me. Even if you trap me here for a lifetime, I will not change my mind."

Xiao Di Yu frowned: "Whether you love me or not, this marriage has been decided. You have no say in it." Xiao Di Yu frowned even tighter, forming a deep "川" character. A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed, showing his impatience. He snorted coldly, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said:

"Lin Xi, don't refuse a toast. This marriage is a foregone conclusion, you'd better accept it, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"You are forcing me, I will not give in." Lin Xi's eyes were full of stubbornness, her chin slightly raised, her face unyielding, her hands clenched tightly into fists, her body trembling slightly. She said loudly and stamped her feet at the same time. There were various exquisite jewelry boxes on the dressing table beside her, but they could not attract her attention.

"Xiao Di Yu, don't try to force me to do this. I, Lin Xi, have my own thoughts and feelings, and I won't let you control me. I will try every possible way to escape from here and return to Ye Chen."

"You will slowly accept it, and time will prove everything." Xiao Diyu's expression eased a little, but his eyes were still full of confidence, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was full of confidence in the future. He spoke slowly, and at the same time stretched out a hand and waved it gently. The bookshelf behind him was filled with precious ancient books and works of art.

"Lin Xi, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it now. Time will change your mind. I believe that with my efforts, you will eventually see my good side and accept me as your husband."

"Impossible, I will never accept you." Lin Xi's eyes were firm, and her resolute expression left no doubt about her determination. She shook her head vigorously, and her long hair fluttered in the air. She said this in a decisive tone, and turned her back to Xiao Di Yu. The window in front of her was half open, and a breeze blew in gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Xiao Di Yu, just give up on this idea. I, Lin Xi, only love Ye Chen in this life and will never accept you. Even if time goes back, I will not change my choice."

Xiao Di Yu looked at Lin Xi's resolute back, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Xiao Diyu slowly lowered his hands from his chest, and his tone softened a little: "Lin Xi, why are you so stubborn? I'm not as bad as you think."

Lin Xi still had her back to him, her voice cold: "Xiao Di Yu, I hate your tyranny and power. I only have Ye Chen's gentleness and kindness in my heart."

Xiao Diyu sighed slightly, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside: "Maybe you don't understand now, but one day you will understand that everything I do is for your own good."

Lin Xi sneered: "For my own good? You are just satisfying your own selfish desires."

Xiao Di Yu was silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at Lin Xi: "No matter what you think, you can't change the established facts. You are my fiancée, and this will never change."

Lin Xi turned around, her eyes full of determination: "I will find a way to leave here, Ye Chen and I will definitely be together."

Xiao Di Yu frowned and said, "Don't struggle in vain. The guards here are tight and you can't escape even if you have wings."

Lin Xi bit her lip and said, "I won't give up. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will try."

The room fell silent again, the atmosphere between the two was tense and oppressive. The wind outside the window blew gently, as if sighing for their fate.

The hospital ward was exceptionally tidy, the floor was spotlessly clean, and it was so quiet that one could hear the faintest sound of breathing. Lin Yu lay quietly on the bed, his face slightly pale. The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

"Yu, when will you wake up?" Shen Jingyan held Lin Yu's pale hand tightly, staring at Lin Yu with his eyes closed. After she finished work every day, she would rush to the hospital to visit him no matter how late it was.

"Yu, if I hadn't married you, I would have lived a good life. I'm sorry..." Shen Jingyan couldn't help but shed tears. She gently stroked Lin Yu's cheek, her eyes full of heartache.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Lin Yu would wake up as soon as possible.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the ward was still so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy.

"Yu, you must get better soon," Shen Jingyan murmured in a low voice, tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Jingyan slowly stood up, looked at Lin Yu reluctantly again, then gently tucked the quilt for him, turned around and left the ward.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Jingyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She walked quickly to her workplace, but she was always worried about Lin Yu.

Shen Jingyan seemed a little absent-minded at work, and from time to time she would be distracted by the image of Lin Yu lying on the hospital bed. But she knew that she had to work hard, on the one hand for a living, and on the other hand to have enough money to pay for Lin Yu's medical expenses.

Shen Jingyan went to see Lin Yu, but she still needed medical expenses. She had no choice but to borrow some money from Jiang Xiyan. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Jiang Xiyan should be busy working in the study.

Shen Jingyan walked heavily to Jiang Xiyan's study. The lights in the corridor were dim, and her figure looked a little lonely. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and her hand trembled slightly as she raised it. After pausing in the air for a few seconds, she hesitated and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Jiang Xiyan's faint voice came from the study. The voice seemed to carry a hint of coldness, and it was impossible to hear the emotion in it.

Shen Jingyan gently pushed open the door, and the first thing that came into view was rows of dark wooden bookshelves filled with books, exuding a faint scent of ink. The light in the study was a little dim, adding a touch of tranquility to the entire space. Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, and occasionally a few breezes gently blew the curtains. Her eyes moved slowly and saw Jiang Xiyan standing in front of the French window. Jiang Xiyan folded his hands in front of his chest, quietly gazing at the night outside the window. His figure looked particularly tall under the dim light. The night outside the window sprinkled on him through the glass, as if covering him with a mysterious veil.

Shen Jingyan stood at the door, hesitating for a long time before mustering up the courage to call out his name: "Jiang Xiyan." Her voice was a little weak, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness. She lowered her head slightly, and her hands unconsciously twisted together.

"You've been very quiet these days. Why, you're not worried about Lin Yu anymore?" Jiang Xiyan turned around slowly, his eyes were filled with inquiry, as if he could see through people's hearts. He took long steps and walked towards Shen Jingyan step by step, each step carrying a sense of oppression. The study was so quiet that only his footsteps could be heard, as if knocking on Shen Jingyan's nervous nerves.

"I want to borrow some money from you." Shen Jingyan raised her head and said with courage, her eyes full of expectation and helplessness. She stared at Jiang Xiyan closely, as if waiting for his response.

Jiang Xiyan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile. He sneered, then slowly stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly to Shen Jingyan. "Borrow money? Do you think I will lend it to you?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and his eyes were full of indifference.

"Tell me, what are your conditions?" Shen Jingyan bit her lip. She knew Jiang Xiyan would not lend her money easily. There was a flash of determination in her eyes, as if she had already prepared herself mentally.

"Oh, you really understand me." Jiang Xiyan leaned down, his face close to Shen Jingyan's ear, and whispered. "My condition is very simple, you stay with me for a month, and I will lend you the money." His breath gently brushed Shen Jingyan's ear, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Shen Jingyan was silent for a long time, with a look of struggle on her face. The study was so quiet that one could hear the tangled voice in her heart. The dim light shone on her, but it could not dispel the confusion in her eyes. She said with a slightly trembling voice: "Jiang Xiyan, besides this condition, is there no other way?"

"No." Jiang Xiyan stood up, his hands still in his pockets, looking at Shen Jingyan expressionlessly. The night outside the window was as dark as ink, quietly seeping into the study through the cracks in the window, adding a bit of depression. "Why? You don't want to?"

"Jiang Xiyan, I'm married now. Do you find it interesting?" Shen Jingyan's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"Married?" Jiang Xiyan's eyes were stern, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. At this moment, a breeze blew quietly, gently fluttering the curtains, as if it was also uneasy about the tense atmosphere. "Are you talking about you and Lin Yu?"

"You know it, yet you still ask!" Shen Jingyan's tone was filled with a hint of anger.
