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

"It's so late, and Lin Xi called so many times, there must be something urgent." As she thought, she hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed back, her fingers trembling with anxiety.

The call was quickly connected, and the voice that came was that of brother Ye Chen: "Ziyuan, Lin Xi is here with me." Ye Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she asked in confusion: "Brother, why is Lin Xi here with you? She called me many times, and I just saw her when I came back from the hospital." Ye Chen briefly explained Lin Xi's situation to her. After listening to it, Ye Ziyuan's face became serious, her brows furrowed, and the worry in her heart surged like a tide.

She jumped up from the sofa without hesitation, turned around, and hurriedly put on her coat, which was a little crooked and she didn't bother to adjust it. She grabbed the key and hurried to the door, almost tripping over the shoes at the door.

The streets at night were particularly deserted, and the dim street lights cast a weak light weakly, stretching Ye Ziyuan's lonely figure. A gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves on the roadside rustled, as if whispering the silence and uneasiness of the night. Ye Ziyuan walked hurriedly, her steps were quick and messy, and her high heels made a "click-click-click" sound on the ground, breaking the tranquility of the night, as if it was the rhythm of her anxious mood. Various possible situations kept emerging in her mind, "What happened to Lin Xi? Why did she run to her brother?" Her heartbeat unconsciously quickened, her chest rose and fell violently, and her breathing became rapid. As she walked, she raised her hand from time to time to look at her watch, and muttered softly: "Why haven't you arrived yet."

After a while, Ye Ziyuan arrived at Ye Chen's house. She pressed the doorbell hastily, her fingers kept pressing, as if this would make the door open faster. After the door opened, she saw Lin Xi sitting on the sofa, with a look of exhaustion and helplessness in her eyes. Ye Ziyuan hurriedly walked to Lin Xi's side, squatted in front of Lin Xi, held Lin Xi's hands tightly with both hands, and asked with concern in her eyes: "Lin Xi, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why did you call me so many times so late?"

When Lin Xi saw Ye Ziyuan, her eyes instantly turned red. She tightly grasped Ye Ziyuan's hand, as if she had grasped the last straw to save her life, and her body trembled slightly. "Ziyuan, I... I'm in big trouble." Then, Lin Xi told Ye Ziyuan in a crying voice about how she was forced to marry by her father and what happened after she escaped.

Ye Ziyuan listened, feeling angry and distressed. She gently hugged Lin Xi, patted her back with one hand, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Lin Xi, I'm here. Let's work together and we will definitely be able to solve it." After that, she raised her head and looked at Ye Chen, her eyes full of determination and help. She nodded slightly, as if to say: "Brother, we must help Lin Xi."

At this moment, the room was filled with a tense yet warm atmosphere. Ye Ziyuan, Lin Xi, and Ye Chen sat together, quietly discussing how to deal with Lin Xi's predicament.

The night outside the window was getting darker, but inside the house, they were thinking hard about how to help Lin Xi. It was like a ray of light in the darkness, weak but full of hope.

Jiang Xiyan was busy all day and returned home exhausted. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, like a gorgeous painting, but Jiang Xiyan had no intention of appreciating the beauty.

Although he was very tired, he was still thinking about the evening banquet. He thought that if Shen Jingyan could accompany him, this night would be even better.

He straightened his clothes and walked towards Shen Jingyan's room. He knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Shen Jingyan sitting quietly on a chair by the window, looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking. Outside the window, the breeze gently blew the flowers in the garden, and the flowers swayed gently in the wind, as if telling the story of the coming night.

Jiang Xiyan showed a gentle smile on his face. He walked to Shen Jingyan and said softly, "Jingyan, there is a very important banquet tonight. I hope you can be my companion and go with me." His eyes were full of anticipation and a hint of confidence. He felt that Shen Jingyan would not refuse him.

However, Shen Jingyan turned around with a cold look in her eyes. She glanced at Jiang Xiyan indifferently, without any enthusiasm, and said coldly: "I don't want to go." Her voice was calm, but it was firm and indifferent, as if she had no interest in this banquet at all.

"Why?" Jiang Xiyan's smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of confusion and loss. His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of urgency, and he unconsciously took a small step forward. "This banquet is very important, I hope you can go with me." He stared at Shen Jingyan, his hands slightly open, as if he wanted to grab her arm, but he hesitated and dared not move.

"Why don't you go find your wife? Why are you looking for me?" Shen Jingyan's tone was cold, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She raised her chin slightly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and leaned back slightly, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from Jiang Xiyan. At the same time, she curled her lips slightly, glanced to the side, and snorted disdainfully.

"You know exactly what's going on with my marriage to Xia Qingcheng." Jiang Xiyan frowned unhappily, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and irritability. He raised his voice, and while speaking, he scratched his hair irritably, making the originally neat hairstyle a little messy. "Jingyan, stop it." His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his body was slightly tense, and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, standing there motionless, but his eyes were full of expectation and anxiety, hoping that Shen Jingyan would change her mind.

In a spacious and elegantly decorated room, soft lights sprinkled on the wooden floor, reflecting a faint halo. The gauze curtains by the window fluttered gently in the wind, bringing a faint breeze. A few potted green plants were placed in the corner of the room, adding a bit of vitality and tranquility to the entire space.

Shen Jingyan walked to the sofa beside her and sat down, "Jiang Xiyan, why do you think I'm making a fuss?" Her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness, and she sat down in a hurry, as if she wanted to vent her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Xiyan followed her to the sofa and sat down, "Isn't it? I thought you were just angry about my marriage to Xia Qingcheng." There was a hint of confusion and anxiety in his eyes. When he sat down, his body leaned forward slightly, and his hands subconsciously placed on his knees, clenched tightly.

Shen Jingyan was a little angry, "You also know that you are married, why don't you let me go?" Her voice unconsciously rose a few notes, her face flushed, her eyes were full of anger and grievance. Her hands tightly grasped the armrest of the sofa, and her fingers turned white because of the force.

"I said, my marriage to Xia Qingcheng is just a temporary measure. Jingyan, the only person I love in my heart is you." Jiang Xiyan said eagerly, his eyes full of affection and determination. He stretched out his hand to hold Shen Jingyan's hand, but hesitated in mid-air, and finally retracted it. His body trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain his emotions. At this time, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense, as if the air was frozen, with only the breathing sounds of the two people and the occasional sound of the wind outside the window.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan's angry and helpless expression, and he blurted out: "Jingyan, if you don't accompany me, you know what I will do. I may not be able to help but bother you every day, and even affect the people around you. I don't want this, but I really need you to accompany me to this banquet."

Shen Jingyan's body trembled slightly when she heard this. She raised her head, and a complex look of fear and anger flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip, struggling inside. She knew Jiang Xiyan's character very well, and knew that he might really do what he said.

After a moment's silence, Shen Jingyan finally spoke helplessly: "Okay, Jiang Xiyan, I will go with you. But this is only to prevent you from doing those crazy things. I am not willing to do it." Her voice was low and suppressed, with deep helplessness.

When Jiang Xiyan heard her promise, he immediately showed a look of joy on his face, as if the threat he had just made had never been made. He quickly said, "Jingyan, don't worry, as long as you accompany me, I will definitely treat you well. After the banquet, I will also try not to bother you again, as long as you don't completely ignore me."

Shen Jingyan just glanced at him indifferently without responding, then stood up and walked towards the room to change clothes.

Shen Jingyan walked towards the room with heavy steps, and every step seemed to be filled with endless reluctance. She walked into the cloakroom, her eyes aimlessly sweeping through the rows of clothes.

Finally, her eyes fell on a black evening dress. This evening dress is simple and elegant, and the slim design highlights her graceful figure. The thin straps hanging on her white shoulders add a bit of sexiness. The length of the skirt is just below the knee, revealing her slender calves.

She put on her dress slowly, her movements somewhat mechanically. When she zipped up the back of her dress, she frowned slightly, as if this small movement annoyed her. Then, she took out a pair of black high heels from the shoe cabinet. The heels were not too high, but they were enough to make her posture more upright. She put on her shoes, stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, who had a pretty face but a cold expression, and sighed softly.

She casually picked up a silver necklace on the dressing table. The necklace was inlaid with a few small diamonds, which flickered faintly under the light. She put the necklace on and gently fiddled with the pendant on the necklace with her fingers, but her eyes were still empty.
