She raised her head and looked at the human wall that had no intention of giving way to her. That familiar handsome face entered her line of sight, and her slightly narrowed black eyes looked down at her from an unfathomable height, seemingly filled with a trace of displeasure.
Xiao Yu continued to look down. Ye Yan Xi wasn't wearing any shoes. The dark, fluffy carpet made her feet seem even more adorable.
She actually came back to the apartment!
"CEO!" Ye Yan Xi was startled and quickly jumped a few steps back.
Looking at Xiao Yu's familiar face caused her heart to beat faster and he couldn't control it. This kind of feeling made her feel uneasy yet unfamiliar.
"What is my surname?" Xiao Yu's face darkened as he took a step forward.
His legs were originally much longer than Ye Yan Xi's. With just this single step, he was already less than five centimeters away from Ye Yan Xi. Thus, she had no choice but to continue retreating backwards.
"CEO, isn't today Monday? Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting? " Ye Yan Xi knew about the company's meeting on Monday. Moreover, Xiao Yu would always be there on time, so he should be in the meeting room now.
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, "You know my whereabouts very well?"
The meaning behind his words was that she seemed to care about him a lot.
But he's not at the company right now, and he's still wearing his pajamas. This … It didn't seem like he was going out either!
Ye Yanxi quickly waved her hand and explained, "CEO, you misunderstood. Everyone in the company knows about the meeting every Monday morning. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth raised into a smile. She seemed to be very happy, and her grave expression also softened.
Xiao Yu's expression had always been cold and solemn, as if everyone else owed him a few hundred and eighty thousand dollars. This kind of smile, uh, was like the omen of a storm.
Seeing Xiao Yu stare at her without saying a word, Ye Yanxi felt his hair stand on end. Goosebumps rose all over his body, and he felt an incomparable torment, as if a caterpillar had crawled onto his back.
"Uh, CEO, it's getting late. I'm going to work at the company!" Ye Yan Xi looked over at Xiao Yu's back from the corner of his eye. He slowly moved around Xiao Yu's body in an attempt to squeeze past him. It seemed like this gap wasn't impossible.
She had barely moved when she noticed an arm leaning on the door frame, blocking her path.
"There's no need to go. I'll get Lin Ruo to request a leave of absence for you."
"Leave of absence?" Ye Yan Xi suddenly wailed, "No no, I'm not taking any leave, I'm going to the company right now."
She had only been in the company for less than a month and applied for leave day after day. This was too unreasonable.
She is just a small employee. If I were to always ask for leave, others wouldn't think too highly of her. Furthermore … She had always been responsible for her work and had never taken a leave of absence before.
"No way!" Xiao Yu was unyielding and directly rejected her decision: "You suffered a fright yesterday, so you should rest properly at home today, and …" Even if you go now, you'll still be deducting your daily salary if you don't get back in the morning! "
"…"
Ye Yan Xi was stunned for a moment. In other words, regardless of whether she went or not today, her salary had already been deducted. These words immediately made Ye Yan Xi withered.
He fidgeted with his hair and rolled his eyes, thinking about something.
Suddenly, she lowered her head to look at her clothes. This … It didn't seem to be hers, and she wasn't wearing it.
Pulling on her loose pajamas, Ye Yan's thoughts flew.
What happened last night?
First she was saved by Xiao Yu, then she cried and fell asleep in Xiao Yu's arms. Memories flooded her mind. She still remembered how she had hugged Xiao Yu tightly all night.
God, who told her what it was all about?
After that, she fell asleep. She had no memory of how she went upstairs or how she came to this apartment.
And when she was saved, all her clothes were torn up by Leo, so who changed his clothes for him? Where did you get these pajamas?
Ye Yan Xi's eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at Xiao Yu.
As if he had seen through her thoughts, Xiao Yu patiently explained, "The pajamas were made by you after you lived here. They've always been hanging in the closet. Last night, there was only the two of us in the apartment."
Thus, he had to admit that he was the one who had changed her clothes.
The two of them should have had nothing to do with each other, but now, it didn't seem appropriate at all, did it?
Her mind was in a mess. She carefully thought back to what had happened and finally came up with a better solution.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yan Xi raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu with her clear eyes, full of determination, "I'm very grateful for President's help last night. Also, I won't tell Miss Jin about last night's matter, so please rest assured." After pausing for a moment, Ye Yan Xi lowered her head and said with incomparable sincerity, "Thank you again, CEO."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu again.
From the start to the end, Xiao Yu's eyes were narrowed, his sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through everything. For a moment, Ye Yan Xi felt a burst of nervousness, being stared at like that made his feel weak, as if someone was looking at his.
When she faced Xiao Yu again, she had already lost control of her emotions and was crazily growing. Not a single cell in her body seemed to be screaming.
She didn't want Xiao Yu to know.
"I think there is something that you are mistaken about!" After a long time, Xiao Yu finally spoke. His voice was calm and hoarse, with a hint of sweetness.
Ye Yan Xi was a bit late to react, so she subconsciously replied, "What is it?"
"Jin Yan and I aren't what you think."
Hearing Xiao Yu say so, Ye Yanxi felt a sense of relief and joy that was hard to hide in his heart.
"The news said that you are engaged, and …" It won't be long before we get married. "
"Engagement? Marry? How come I didn't know about this? " Xiao Yu's voice carried a trace of laziness.
"On the news..." Ye Yanxi frowned and continued.
"I am not engaged to her, and I will not marry, nor will I ever marry again!" Xiao Yu directly interrupted her.
This time, it was Ye Yan Xi's turn to be stunned. She softly said, "But, Miss Jin really likes you. You guys were engaged not long ago."
"I was ignorant in my childhood, it was just a joke by an elder." Xiao Yu's eyes were fixed on Ye Yanxi, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "And now, I already have a woman."
Looking at her own shadow in Xiao Yu's black eyes, Ye Yanxi's heartbeat suddenly stopped. She could feel that Xiao Yu's eyes had lit up a fire in her face, causing her face to flush red.
Was the woman he was talking about her?
However, wasn't there only trade between them?
He had just made up his mind that he wouldn't have anything to do with it anymore, and now that he was interrupted by these words, he couldn't help but wonder what Xiao Yu's intentions were.
However, before she could sort it out, Xiao Yu said, "I've already ordered someone to bring your luggage back from Miss He's house."
"What?" At this moment, Ye Yan Xi was no longer able to maintain her calm. She cried out in alarm, "Where's the luggage?"
"Secondary bedroom!" Xiao Yu turned his body to the side, opening up a path.
Ye Yan Xi was in a hurry to go to the second bedroom to look at her luggage. She was still in a fog, and just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yu's long arms wrapped around her slim waist. With a slight turn, she was forced to press herself against Xiao Yu's chest.
In between, Xiao Yu slightly bent his body, his black eyes seeming to look into her eyes. An ambiguous and scorching heat sprayed onto her face, "I saved you, you think just saying thank you is enough?"
Feeling the itchiness on her face and feeling the warmth, Ye Yan Xi retreated backwards. That warm and humid aura seemed to have suddenly entered her heart.
It was too ambiguous and dangerous to stick together like this. Ye Yanxi blushed like a cooked shrimp as she struggled to push his arms, "Then what do you want? "As long as it is within my means, the price should not be too high."
Xiao Yu laughed when he heard this. Ye Yanxi could feel his chest gently trembling. This voice seemed to carry a hint of allure, causing her face to flush red.
"Do you think I will ever lack one?"
As he spoke, he could hear her breathing. Ye Yan Xi struggled to push his chest. However, after pushing for a long time, she realized that Xiao Yu's body hadn't moved at all. She was obviously tickling him.
Seeing that she couldn't push him away, Ye Yan Xi panicked, "Then what do you want?"
Xiao Yu suddenly lowered his head, bringing his face close to her lips. The distance between the two of them was less than a centimeter. Did this mean that he wanted her to kiss him?
In that instant, Ye Yan Xi's face flushed red. She didn't know where to look, but her heart began to beat like a drumbeat.
Looking at the beautiful yet seductive side of her face, Ye Yan swallowed her saliva. Her mouth was a bit dry.
Even in the time they had lived together, apart from the time in bed, the two had never been this close to each other before.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Ye Yanxi still hadn't moved. Her heart was still fighting in the air, and both of her legs felt as if they had become stiff.
It seemed like Xiao Yu didn't plan on letting her go that easily.
As time passed, Ye Yanxi began to waver.
He comforted himself in his heart. It was just a kiss, after all, they had already done more shameful things between them. So what if he kissed?
After comforting her for a while, Ye Yan Xi finally convinced herself. She stood on her tiptoes and lightly touched Xiao Yu's face like a dragonfly touching the water.
Her lips were moist, soft and warm, but when she touched her face, it felt like cotton. However, because of this completely emotionless action, Xiao Yu's stomach began to heat up.
"Is everything alright now?" Ye Yan Xi let out a sigh of relief after completing her mission, "CEO, I've also kissed you. You can let go now."
"It's not enough!" Xiao Yu's voice was hoarse, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Before she could even react, Xiao Yu's fingers grabbed her chin and pressed down on her lips.
Carrying her usual domineering and rapacious attitude, she attacked all the way to the edge of the city. Her tongue slowly poked into Ye Yanxi's evasive tongue, and in a short while, both of their breathing became a mess.
It was only when Ye Yanxi's face turned red and he found it difficult to breathe that Xiao Yu reluctantly let her go.
Ye Yan Xi's body softly fell down onto Xiao Yu's body. He had no choice but to use his hands to support Xiao Yu. This made her feel extremely weak. However, compared to sliding down to the ground, this wasn't a disgrace.
Xiao Yu's heart was beating like a drum, rapid and warm like her own heart at the moment.
Xiao Yu's soft laughter came from above his head. Following that, his chest began to tremble. Ye Yan could only feel an itch in his ears.
"He can still stand up?" Xiao Yu's voice carried a trace of ridicule as he floated over her head.
Ye Yan Xi felt ashamed and quickly pushed Xiao Yu away. She didn't turn back as she ran into the second bedroom and closed the door as well.
This was too embarrassing!
Even a kiss …
The emotions that had been suppressed deep within her heart were now growing unabashedly wild, and she could no longer control them.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Yan was already leaning against the door, but at this moment, she was startled by the sound and almost fell to the ground.
"Xiao Xi." Xiao Yu shouted from outside.
"Ah, what is it?"
"See if there's anything you haven't brought."
She hadn't even read it yet and was only focused on calming herself down. After being reminded, she glanced around the room. There were two boxes, one with clothes, the other with books. "They're all here."
Just as he finished speaking, he felt that something was missing. "Where are Little Black and Little Grey?"
"The balcony, downstairs."
After what happened just now, she didn't want to go out and see. She felt that she didn't have the courage to face Xiao Yu. "I understand."
"What are you doing in the house?"
"Uh, change your clothes!" She fumbled for an excuse.
"After you're done changing, come down for breakfast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door. It seemed that Xiao Yu had just gone downstairs.
As the sound faded away, Ye Yan Xi closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
She tossed herself onto the bed and buried her face deep into the cup. Ye Yanxi felt as if her heart was about to beat erratically.
What time was it? Xiao Yu had brought her luggage with her.
After thinking for a while, he called He Xianyan, who was looking at the house with her colleagues. After greeting them, she went to the side and picked up the phone.
"Xixi, what's the matter?"
"Why don't you ask me if there's anything wrong?" Ye Yan Xi let out a dissatisfied wail.
"Of course I know that you're fine now. Director Xiao even sent someone to my house to retrieve your luggage, so you told me everything then."
As she spoke of this, Ye Yanxi was no longer happy.
"Why did you let someone take my luggage away so casually?"
"Ah, what did you say … "Hey, this sector doesn't have a good signal, so let's hang up first"
"..." Ye Yan Xi rolled her eyes. What a clumsy excuse.
While Xiao Yu was in the study, he heard the phone ring. It was from Shen Luosheng.
"Yu, did you tell my mother that I live here?" You shameless bastard. " As soon as the call connected, Shen Jingshu started talking in a straightforward manner.
Xiao Yu took the phone out of the way. The sound was like someone eating explosives, causing one's eardrums to hurt.
Obviously, Shen Jingshu was on the verge of exploding, how could he flip over him so easily, his mouth kept chattering non-stop, "Only you and Jiang Ye know where I live, that Jiang Ye brat has a weakness that fell into my hands and can't possibly sell me out, only you, you bastard, I'll tell you, I'll get my mother first …"
Before Shen Jingshu could finish complaining, Xiao Yu straightforwardly hung up the phone.
Halfway through venting his anger, he felt stifled upon being forcefully shouted at to stop.
Not giving up, he dialed again, staring at the screen, but from the other side of the line came a prompt: Sorry, the user you dialed has been turned off!
He couldn't be more shameless if the computer was shut down.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's other phone rang.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"Director Xiao, Leo is currently being escorted back to the country. F Nation has already filed a lawsuit against Leo, including illegal fund-raising, smuggling and fraud, and F Group has also publicly announced the expulsion of Leo."
"Before escorting him to his destination, get someone to reveal all of his escape routes!" Xiao Yu added, his black eyes narrowing.
Even if all these crimes were added together, it would still be difficult to sentence Leo to death. There might be some unforeseen circumstances, but if he was a prisoner on death row, the outcome would be different. The death penalty would be enforced immediately.
This was to not let Leo escape, to kill him all!
"Alright, Director Xiao, I already know what to do."
"Yes."
"Oh yeah, Director Xiao also has one more thing to say."
"Speak." Xiao Yu's tone was clearly impatient.
"About the Black Hawk Gang." The voice on the phone changed to a middle tone. "Sect Leader of the Black Hawk Gang, I apologize to you for abducting Madam this time. The people involved in the kidnapping have already had one of their arms cut off by the Black Hawk Gang."
Xiao Yu sneered, "What else are you saying?"
"He also said that he wanted to make an appointment to meet you and apologize to you personally!"
"Tell him I won't see him." Xiao Yu heard the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs. 'I must be Ye Yanxi,' he thought to himself.
"But he..." He still wanted to say something, but was cut off by Xiao Yu's cold voice.
"No matter what!" After he finished speaking, Xiao Yu hung up the phone and walked out.
