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

Outside the study, the night was still as dark as ink, with only a few faint stars twinkling in the night sky, as if silently sighing for this tangled love story.

"If our love is gained by hurting others, I would rather not have it!" Shen Jingyan's eyes flashed with pain and determination. She knew that she couldn't hurt others for her own happiness, especially Lin Yu. He was a vegetable now and needed her care and love. She couldn't leave him at this time, let alone be with Jiang Xiyan.

"Jingyan, you know very well that you have the same feeling towards me." Jiang Xiyan continued, his voice deep and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic that could easily move people's hearts. "Don't deceive yourself anymore, and don't avoid this feeling anymore..." His eyes were full of expectation and desire, he hoped that Shen Jingyan could bravely face her feelings and be with him.

Shen Jingyan's eyes widened, and the shock and panic in her eyes were gradually replaced by the surging emotions in her heart. She said with a trembling voice: "No, Jiang Xiyan, I am not deceiving myself." But there was a voice in her heart quietly refuting herself.

Jiang Xiyan smiled confidently, his smile full of certainty. "You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me. Every look in your eyes, every subtle expression, betrays you."

The atmosphere in the study was tense and ambiguous. Shen Jingyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her heart was beating wildly. "Jiang Xiyan, no matter what you say, I can't accept your feelings. Lin Yu and I have our responsibilities and commitments."

"Oh, responsibility and commitment?" Jiang Xiyan chuckled, his laughter full of disdain, as if these two words were so insignificant in his eyes. "Are you really happy with him?" Jiang Xiyan raised his chin slightly, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, staring at Shen Jingyan closely.

Shen Jingyan quietly looked at the stars outside the study, the bright stars seemed to be telling endless stories. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and she said slowly: "No matter what you say, I will not do anything to hurt Lin Yu." Her voice was soft but firm, like a breeze blowing across the lake, although it was calm, it had an unshakable power.

"Do you think being with me means you're hurting him?" Jiang Xiyan's expression darkened, and his voice became louder. His brows knitted tightly, and his eyes burned with anger. "Are you so sure?" His words were questioning, as if forcing Shen Jingyan to reconsider her decision.

"Yes, Lin Yu is already a vegetable, do you still want to do this?" Shen Jingyan's eyes flashed with pain, and her voice trembled slightly. She seemed to see Lin Yu's lifeless face, and her heart was filled with guilt and helplessness.

Jiang Xiyan frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. His heart seemed to be entangled with countless thoughts, tangled and contradictory. "So you plan to sacrifice your own happiness and stay with a vegetative person for the rest of your life?" There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his voice, as if he felt sorry for Shen Jingyan's decision.

"I am his wife. You said you would do your best to save him and make him wake up. This is your promise. You won't forget it, right?" Shen Jingyan's eyes were full of anticipation. She stared at Jiang Xiyan closely, as if waiting for his response.

The atmosphere in the study was heavy and depressing. Jiang Xiyan lowered his eyebrows, as if trying to hide the dark emotions in his eyes. His voice was low and bitter: "I admire your kindness and righteousness, but... don't I have any chance?"

Shen Jingyan looked at Jiang Xiyan quietly, with complicated emotions in her eyes. She slowly walked to the French window, looked at the shining lights of the city outside, and said thoughtfully: "Jiang Xiyan, maybe we are not destined to be together!"

Jiang Xiyan snorted coldly, with a stubborn look on his face. "Fate? Ha, I never believe in this." He strode to Shen Jingyan, put his hands on the windowsill, and instantly held Shen Jingyan in his arms. His breath rushed to her face, carrying a strong sense of oppression and fiery emotions. "Everything depends on human efforts. As long as you are willing, we can be together."

A trace of panic flashed across Shen Jingyan's face. She pushed Jiang Xiyan away with force, her eyes full of resistance. "Jiang Xiyan, please respect yourself!" Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying to suppress the waves in her heart.

The bustling lights outside the window reflected on her face, but could not hide her inner entanglement and pain. After being pushed away, Jiang Xiyan stood there quietly, looking at Shen Jingyan's back.

In the quiet study, time seemed to have frozen. Shen Jingyan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the bustling city night scene outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Jiang Xiyan's figure kept appearing in her mind, as well as the complicated and tangled emotions between them.

After a long while, Shen Jingyan spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her voice: "I understand your concerns, but my feelings for you are real. I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I am willing to do so."

However, the atmosphere at this time was broken by another topic. Shen Jingyan turned around, looked at Jiang Xiyan firmly, and said: "20, do you want to lend it or not?"

Jiang Xiyan was slightly startled, then sneered, his eyes became cold. He looked at Shen Jingyan, with a complex emotion in his heart. "I thought you would always reject me for Lin Yu."

A hint of stubbornness flashed across Shen Jingyan's face: "I need money now, will you lend it to me?"

Jiang Xiyan put his hands in his pockets, walked in front of Shen Jingyan, and looked down at her. "Okay, but I have a condition."

Shen Jingyan frowned slightly: "Tell me your conditions."

Jiang Xiyan's tone was frivolous, and his eyes wandered over Shen Jingyan wantonly. "My condition is very simple. If you stay with me for a month, the 20 will be yours."

Shen Jingyan's face turned pale instantly. She bit her lip and said angrily, "I said this condition is impossible. Why can't you change it?"

Jiang Xiyan shrugged, with an indifferent attitude. "Besides this, I can't think of anything else you can accept. Either stay with me for a month, or you can find another way."

Shen Jingyan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "How about this, don't you have a project? If I get this project, you will give me 20, how about it?"

Jiang Xiyan refused outright, his eyes sharpening. "Don't even think about it. This project is not something you can take down. You'd better just stay with me for a month."

Shen Jingyan said unconvincedly: "You didn't even give me this opportunity, how do you know that I can't win?"

Jiang Xiyan narrowed his eyes and looked Shen Jingyan up and down. "Okay, since you are so confident, I will give you this opportunity. However, I have to tell you in advance that if you can't get this project, you have to agree to my conditions."

Shen Jingyan said without hesitation: "Okay, send me the information about Mr. Zhang! I will definitely get this project for you!"

Jiang Xiyan slowly approached Shen Jingyan, with a sly look in his eyes. "Oh, don't worry about it, I will make the arrangements. But... are you sure you can do it?"

Shen Jingyan raised her chin, her eyes full of determination. "Since I said it, I will definitely work hard to complete it."

Jiang Xiyan's lips curled slightly, and his expression became more playful. "You said it, don't blame me if you can't do it."

At this moment, the light in the study room shone on the two of them, as if covering them with a mysterious veil. The city outside the window was brightly lit and busy, but the atmosphere in the study room was tense and full of unknowns.

Shen Jingyan secretly made up her mind to win this project and get rid of Jiang Xiyan's entanglement, and at the same time work hard for the future of herself and Lin Yu. Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan's stubborn figure, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Jingyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that this project was very important to her. It was not only about the two hundred thousand yuan, but also about her dignity and future choices.

In the following days, Shen Jingyan devoted herself to the research of the project. She came to the company early every day, looked up various materials, analyzed market trends, and made detailed plans. The lights in the office were often on until late at night, and her desk was piled with documents and notebooks, which were filled with her thoughts and plans.

"Are you not off work yet?" Suddenly, a faint voice came into Shen Jingyan's ears. She subconsciously raised her head, and where her eyes fell was the handsome and slightly majestic figure of Jiang Xiyan.

"Mr. Jiang, I have an appointment with Mr. Zhang to discuss cooperation tomorrow! So I have to hurry up and make more preparations and catch up on my homework!" Shen Jingyan quickly stood up and replied with a smile.

Jiang Xiyan nodded slightly, expressing his approval: "Well, that's good. You know, Mr. Zhang is notoriously difficult to make an appointment with. Even our company's planning department has tried many times before, but in the end they had to give up this plan. I didn't expect that you could successfully make an appointment with him. If you can successfully win this project this time, I can reward you an additional 20!"

Hearing this, Shen Jingyan's eyes flashed with excitement, and she said firmly: "Okay, it's a deal! Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will do my best to fight for it and get this project no matter what!"

However, at this moment, Jiang Xiyan's face suddenly darkened, and his tone became a little cold: "However, there is one thing I must remind you. Zhang Junyue is already 38 years old this year, and as far as I know, he is quite lustful. When you deal with him, you must be more careful and take care of yourself!"

Shen Jingyan's heart tightened, but she quickly regained her composure and responded confidently: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for reminding me. I know what's going on and I will naturally find a way to deal with it!"

Jiang Xiyan looked at the brave and intelligent woman in front of him, nodded gently, and said slowly: "Then I wish you good luck!" After that, he turned around and left Shen Jingyan's office with steady steps.
