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

At this moment, the silence in the office was depressing. The air seemed to have solidified into a block of ice, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe. The only sounds in the entire space were the faint breathing sounds of the two people and the clear heartbeats, which rose and fell, intertwined together, like a low and lingering piece of music.

"Lin Yu..." Chu Zitong opened her red lips slightly, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "I have never thought of destroying the happiness that belongs to you. I have never had such an idea. But... I really can't suppress the feelings I have for you deep in my heart! To me, you are like a book that I can never finish reading. Every time I turn a new page, it brings me unexpected surprises and endless charm. Unconsciously, I fell deeply into the pages of this book and couldn't extricate myself."

Lin Yu was silent for a long time after listening to Chu Zitong's affectionate confession. Finally, he slowly said: "Chu Zitong, I can understand your feelings at the moment, but I have already made a decision. Once the path of life is chosen, there is no way to turn back easily." After that, he turned his head gently and looked at the bustling and noisy city scene outside the window. However, despite the busy traffic and flashing neon lights in front of him, his heart was full of entanglements and contradictions.

Chu Zitong lowered her head slightly, and a few strands of silky hair slid down her cheeks quietly, just covering up the slight sadness on her face, but adding a bit of lovable tenderness to it. She lowered her head and stared at the soft carpet under her feet, as if she could find a trace of warm comfort from the delicate touch.

"Lin Yu, I understand your position and what your choice means, so I will never force you. It's just that... every time my eyes accidentally touch your figure, my originally calm heart will immediately become restless and uncontrollably attracted to you. To me, you are just like a gentle spring breeze, blowing silently through my heart, leaving endless tenderness and attachment in just a moment."

"Don't keep saying these things," Lin Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice. He stared at the other person with his deep eyes, revealing an unwavering look, but at the same time, there was a hint of reluctance.

At this moment, Chu Zitong seemed to want to say something to break the awkward situation. However, at this moment, the supervisor of the hardware workshop hurriedly walked into the office with a thick stack of documents. Seeing this, Chu Zitong had to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She quickly picked up the document that had just been signed on the table and walked out of the office quickly without looking back, like a frightened rabbit.

Lin Yu looked at Chu Zitong's back as she left and sighed softly. Just at this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated. It turned out to be a message from his boss, asking him to go out immediately to deal with some urgent matters. Lin Yu did not dare to delay at all, and quickly got up and tidied his clothes, then walked to the workshop to find the team leader and carefully explained to him the tasks that needed to be completed next.

After making all the arrangements, Lin Yu drove away from the factory without stopping. He was busy like a top all day, not only dealing with various trivial matters at work, but also dealing with managers from other companies and negotiating business. He was busy until 11 o'clock in the evening, when Lin Yu dragged his exhausted body and slowly drove into the underground parking lot of his community.

When he opened the door, he found the house dark and silent. He thought his wife Shen Jingyan should have been waiting for him at home for a long time, but she hadn't come back yet. Lin Yu couldn't help feeling disappointed. He walked slowly to the living room, poured himself a glass of fragrant red wine, and then sat quietly on the soft and comfortable sofa in front of the French window, sipping the red wine while admiring the dazzling and charming night view of the city outside through the huge French window.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after a full hour, Shen Jingyan finally appeared at the door. She pushed the door open with a slightly tired look and walked into the room.

"Yu, why haven't you slept yet?" Shen Jingyan saw Lin Yu sitting on the sofa as she entered the room. When she met Lin Yu's eyes that were so cold that they seemed to condense the air, her voice trembled unconsciously.

Lin Yu slowly raised his head, his eyes fell directly on Shen Jingyan, his tone was unusually calm: "I'll wait for you." As he spoke, he gently shook the red wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet liquid swayed in the glass, like a blooming blood flower.

At this moment, they were in a spacious living room. Soft lights fell on the exquisite furniture like a veil, outlining their graceful contours and creating a seemingly warm but actually tense atmosphere that was suffocating. Through the huge French windows, one could see the bright lights of the bustling city outside the window, the constant flow of vehicles, the bustling pedestrians, and the noise faintly transmitted into the house, but all of this could not break the oppressive atmosphere that permeated the house.

"You still remember to come back?" Lin Yu asked expressionlessly. His voice was not loud, but it carried a hint of anger and disappointment that was difficult to conceal.

Shen Jingyan took a deep breath and explained, "Today I have an important project from abroad and I have to finish it before I can come back."

"Foreign projects?" Lin Yu sneered, stood up suddenly, and strode towards Shen Jingyan. His tall figure looked particularly cold under the light, and every step seemed to be stepping on the tip of Shen Jingyan's heart. Although the thick carpet under his feet was soft and comfortable, it could not ease the increasingly tense atmosphere between the two at this moment.

"Shen Jingyan, how dare you use such a ridiculous excuse to fool me!" Lin Yu stopped abruptly. His tall body stood like a mountain, only a few inches away from Shen Jingyan, looking down at her from top to bottom. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, were burning with flames of anger at this moment, as if they could burn everything to ashes.

"I really can't get away because I'm busy with work. Why won't you trust me?" Shen Jingyan explained innocently and anxiously.

"Humph! Why should I believe your nonsense?" Lin Yu was furious. He held a tall glass full of red wine in his right hand and smashed it hard on the exquisite sandalwood table in front of him. With a crisp and loud "bang", the red wine in the glass splashed out instantly, and a few drops even splashed on Shen Jingyan's snow-white skirt. The sharp sound of the glass and the hard wooden tabletop violently pierced the originally quiet room like thunder, making people tremble.

Facing Lin Yu, whose emotions were almost out of control, Shen Jingyan could not help but frown slightly. But she soon realized that she could not let the situation continue to deteriorate, so she took a deep breath, tried to calm the waves in her heart, and tried to regain her composure as soon as possible. Then, she slowly stretched out her hands and gently held Lin Yu's palms that were slightly trembling due to anger. At the same time, she raised her head and stared at the other person with eyes full of guilt and heartache.

"Lin Yu, please forgive my negligence. I am really sorry for making you so worried. I know that no matter what I say now, it will sound so pale and powerless. But I assure you that I have never lied to you. That project is of vital importance to the company. If it cannot be completed smoothly on time, it will bring immeasurable losses. So I have to devote all my efforts to it, so that I can't spare the time to come back in time to accompany you..." At this point, Shen Jingyan's voice gradually became low, and her eyes began to turn slightly red.

"You don't have to explain to me!" Lin Yu angrily shook off Shen Jingyan's hand that was trying to hold him, his voice was hoarse and angry. Then, he turned around resolutely, leaving Shen Jingyan with a cold and resolute back. The dim light fell on him, but it could not illuminate the haze in his heart, but made the lonely figure look more lonely and desolate.

Shen Jingyan looked at Lin Yu's back as he walked away, tears welling up in her eyes, her slightly red eyes full of regret and pain. At this moment, the originally bright and warm living room light suddenly dimmed for some reason, and the whole space was shrouded in a depressing and dignified atmosphere, so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

"Lin Yu..." Shen Jingyan murmured softly, her voice trembling and weak, "I know it's my fault this time. I really shouldn't have made the decision without telling you. I should have told you in advance so that you wouldn't worry so much. I will definitely be extra careful and pay attention to everything in the future. I will never let something like this happen again. Please believe me!" As she spoke, she couldn't help sobbing, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold floor.

However, after hearing these words, Lin Yu just turned around slowly and stared at the heartbreaking woman in front of him with a look full of suspicion and despair. His eyes no longer had the tenderness and love of the past, but were replaced by a trace of almost crazy anger. Under the light, his cold face was expressionless like a sculpture, and even the soft carpet under his feet seemed to have lost its original elasticity and temperature at this moment, becoming hard and cold.

"Later?" Lin Yu sneered, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain, "Shen Jingyan, at this point, you still dare to tell me about the future? Do you think that after going through so much, I can still foolishly believe every word you say like before?"

Shen Jingyan bit her lip and tried to calm herself down. She looked into Lin Yu's eyes and said sincerely, "Lin Yu, I know you may not believe me immediately, but please give me a chance and let me prove it with my actions."
