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

The bright light from the crystal chandelier was like stars falling on earth, illuminating the entire banquet hall. In the hall, melodious classical music floated in every corner like gurgling water. The guests were dressed in gorgeous dresses, the men were elegant and the ladies were graceful. They held champagne glasses, talked softly or smiled sweetly, and the air was filled with elegance and luxury.

In this lively banquet, Shen Jingyan stood alone in a relatively quiet corner. She was wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, the cut of which perfectly outlined her graceful figure. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, which seemed to be somewhat out of tune with the lively atmosphere around her.

As soon as Jiang Xiyan stepped into the banquet hall, his eyes began to search eagerly for something. When his eyes fell on Shen Jingyan, his eyes instantly became gentle, as if everything around him disappeared at that moment, and only the figure that haunted him remained in his eyes. He straightened his straight suit, every detail of which showed his noble status, and then walked towards the direction of Shen Jingyan with confident and steady steps.

Jiang Xiyan's eyes instantly became gentle, and he walked towards Shen Jingyan with firm steps, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, full of affection.

"Jingyan, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

When Shen Jingyan heard Jiang Xiyan's words, her heart suddenly tightened, as if she was hit by something. But she still kept a cold expression on her face.

"It's just a casual act, don't take it seriously." At this point, her voice unconsciously became lighter, with a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable, "You are the only one in my heart."

At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly came out, her eyes fixed on Jiang Xiyan.

"Jiang Xiyan, I heard that you married the daughter of Xia Real Estate."

Jiang Xiyan's face darkened instantly, and he glanced at Lin Xi coldly, full of disgust.

"What does this have to do with you?" After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Jingyan, his eyes immediately softened, and he said softly: "Jingyan, don't listen to her nonsense."

Lin Xi was irritated by Jiang Xiyan's attitude, she raised her voice with some anger.

"Jiang Xiyan, you are really two-faced. I know from Mu Hanchen that he likes Xia Qingcheng. He said that you two showed your affection at a certain banquet."

Jiang Xiyan's face became colder and colder, and the aura around him seemed to freeze into ice. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Hanchen? Do you believe what he said?"

Lin Xi was not frightened by Jiang Xiyan's momentum. She continued, "It was your press conference, right? Xia Qingcheng said in front of you that she was the wife of the president of Yuhui Empire. You were there at the time. Mu Hanchen also expressed his love to Xia Qingcheng, but you told him to stay away from your wife Xia Qingcheng. Since you already have a wife, why are you still pestering Jingyan?"

Jiang Xiyan frowned tightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and spoke in a cold and hard tone.

"I have my reasons for doing this, and I don't need to explain it to anyone."

Lin Xi wanted to continue to say something, but was stopped by Shen Jingyan. Shen Jingyan looked at Jiang Xiyan with disappointment in her eyes.

"Jiang Xiyan, since you are already married, we will end our relationship completely from now on."

Jiang Xiyan felt a sudden pain in his heart when he heard this, as if he was stabbed by a sharp knife. He subconsciously reached out to hold Shen Jingyan, his voice a little hoarse.

"Jingyan, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think..."

Lin Xi became even angrier when she saw Jiang Xiyan's actions.

"Jiang Xiyan, you coward, you are a married man now, why do you still want Jingyan to be your secret lover?"

Jiang Xiyan's face was terribly gloomy. He looked at Lin Xi coldly, full of warning.

"It's not your turn to interfere in my affairs." After saying that, he quickly turned to look at Shen Jingyan, with a hint of urgency in his eyes, and said, "Jingyan, you believe me."

Lin Xi was not willing to be outdone. She said angrily, "I have to say this. If you dare to harass Jingyan again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan took a step forward without hesitation and protected Shen Jingyan behind him. He stared at Lin Xi with cold eyes, with an undisguised threat in his tone, and a chill emanating from his body, and said, "Lin Xi, you'd better stop. My patience is limited."

Lin Xi didn't care. She reached out and grabbed Shen Jingyan's arm, pulling Shen Jingyan back with force, her voice cold.

"Lin Xi, don't go too far!" Jiang Xiyan's voice was full of coldness, as if the air around him was frozen. His eyes flashed with anger and dissatisfaction, staring straight at Lin Xi.

"Jiang Xiyan, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to control me?" Lin Xi glared at Jiang Xiyan, her eyes burning with anger. There was a hint of disdain and provocation in her tone, as if she didn't care about Jiang Xiyan's existence at all.

"I am Jingyan's friend, and I have the responsibility to protect her from harm." Jiang Xiyan responded firmly without flinching. His eyes revealed a kind of determination and decisiveness, indicating that he would not give up his position easily.

"Ha, that's ridiculous. You're already married, and your so-called protection will only bring more pain to Jingyan." Lin Xi sneered, with a mocking smile on her lips. There was a hint of sharpness and pain in her words, as if she wanted to stimulate Jiang Xiyan's heart.

"You don't have to interfere in what's going on between her and me." Jiang Xiyan's eyes became increasingly cold. He stared at Lin Xi closely, as if he wanted to see through her.

Lin Xi was frightened by his eyes, but still pretended to be calm and said: "Jiang Xiyan, you can't do this to me! We are the most suitable couple!"

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Shen Jingyan, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't help but speak: "Enough, stop arguing." Her voice was a little tired, as if she was tired of the quarrel.

Hearing Shen Jingyan's words, Jiang Xiyan and Lin Xi turned their heads at the same time and looked at her.

"Jingyan..." Jiang Xiyan called her name softly, his eyes full of concern.

However, Shen Jingyan just glanced at him indifferently, and then said calmly: "It's all over. Jiang Xiyan, you go back and treat your wife well. As for me, I will start a new life." After she said that, she turned and left without hesitation, leaving only a resolute back.

Jiang Xiyan looked at the direction she left, his heart filled with pain and helplessness.

Shen Jingyan and Lin Xi's company in City M is about to open grandly, which should be a joyous event, but Shen Jingyan can't be happy at all. She stands in the lobby of the company that is about to open, looking at the busy staff arranging the final decorations with a somewhat empty look in her eyes.

Lin Xi came over, patted Shen Jingyan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jingyan, today is our big day, why do you look so sad?"

Shen Jingyan forced a smile, her voice a little low: "I want to be happy, but when I think of certain things, I just can't be happy."

Lin Xi frowned. She knew what Shen Jingyan was talking about. She sighed and said, "Are you still thinking about Jiang Xiyan's marriage? Jingyan, he is a thing of the past. Today is our new beginning. You have to let him go."

Shen Jingyan's eyes flashed with pain, and she said slowly: "I know I should let it go, but I can't. Every time I close my eyes, I see him standing with someone else."

Lin Xi looked at her with some heartache, pulled her to the rest area nearby and sat down, and said: "Jingyan, it is meaningless for you to torture yourself like this. He has made his choice, and you should move on. Our company is opening today. This has always been our dream. You can't let his affairs affect us."

Shen Jingyan held her head in her hands, her voice choking: "I don't want this to happen, but my heart hurts so much. I thought he would be the one to accompany me to the end."

Lin Xi gently hugged Shen Jingyan's shoulders and comforted her: "I know you are in pain now, but time will heal everything. Look, how beautiful our company is today, and how much effort we have put into it. This is our new beginning, there will be a new life and new hope."

Shen Jingyan raised her head and looked at the carefully arranged company environment around her. There was a hint of emotion in her eyes: "You are right. We have paid too much for this company. But it is really difficult for me to change my mood all of a sudden."

Lin Xi looked at her firmly and said, "Jingyan, I know this is difficult, but you have to be strong. You are not alone, I will always be with you. With so many guests coming today, we have to show our best."

Shen Jingyan took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I will try my best to adjust myself. Thank you, Lin Xi."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "That's right. Okay, let's go check the final preparations."

Shen Jingyan stood up and walked towards the busy staff with Lin Xi. Although her heart still ached, she was trying to focus on the opening of the company.

Lin Xi's company had just opened, and she immediately started looking for a partner. She already had a candidate in mind - Ye Chen. This name kept echoing in her mind, as if it had become the key to her career success. So, she picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed Ye Chen's number.

"Beep...beep..." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Lin Xi's heart couldn't help but get nervous. Finally, the call was connected, and Ye Chen's calm and magnetic voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"

Lin Xi took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Mr. Ye, I'm Lin Xi. I would like to meet with you to discuss cooperation between our companies."
