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

"But...if we get married, I'm worried that Jiang Xiyan will hurt you again! I really don't want to see you get hurt because of me!" Shen Jingyan frowned slightly, her eyes revealing deep worry and uneasiness.

Lin Yu stared at the woman in front of him who made his heart beat fast, and said firmly: "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it. You just need to stay by my side obediently." After that, he unconsciously clenched his fists tightly. Because he used too much force, the knuckles of his fingers turned slightly white, showing that his heart was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

Shen Jingyan looked at Lin Yu, with mixed emotions in her heart. She was touched by Lin Yu's determination, but also worried about the uncertainties in the future.

"Lin Yu, I really can't be so selfish." Shen Jingyan's eyes were slightly red, tears welled up in them, and her voice was unconsciously trembling and choking. "Don't you know how cruel and despicable Jiang Xiyan's methods are? I really can't bear to see you fall into such a huge danger because of me."

However, facing Shen Jingyan's worried and uneasy words, Lin Yu just frowned tightly, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. He suddenly interrupted Shen Jingyan's words: "Enough! Stop talking nonsense! I said, this matter is my own business, you don't need to worry about it at all! Now, you just need to give me a clear answer - are you willing to marry me?"

At this moment, Lin Yu stared straight at Shen Jingyan in front of him with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through her beautiful eyes, which were now full of worry, and see through her true thoughts deep in her heart.

Shen Jingyan was somewhat overwhelmed by Lin Yu's strong questioning. She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Lin Yu's fiery gaze, and clasped her hands tightly together. After a moment of silence, she slowly raised her head, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in her eyes.

"Lin Yu, I... I don't know. I'm really scared, afraid that I will hurt you again." Shen Jingyan's voice was so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by a breeze.

Lin Yu's face became increasingly gloomy, like the sky before a storm. He suddenly took a big step forward, like an enraged lion, and grasped Shen Jingyan's weak shoulders tightly with his hands like iron pliers. The force he used was so great that Shen Jingyan couldn't help but frown slightly, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.

"Shen Jingyan, what are you afraid of? Don't you have even a little trust in me? Or, deep down in your heart, you can't let go of Jiang Xiyan?" Lin Yu's roar echoed in the air, filled with endless anger and deep disappointment.

However, facing Lin Yu's questioning, Shen Jingyan just bit her lip, and then said in a trembling but firm tone: "I don't want to marry you!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu's originally excited expression instantly became dim, like a star that had lost its light. But just a moment later, a trace of anger reappeared on his face, and he asked loudly: "Why? Is it because of Jiang Xiyan? Are you worried that he will come to retaliate against me? So you dare not marry me?"

At this time, Shen Jingyan's eyes were already blurred with tears. She shook her head and choked up as she replied, "No...it's not like that. I just don't want to see you get hurt because of me again!"

Lin Yu stared at Shen Jingyan in a daze, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a complicated look. He slowly loosened his hand that was holding Shen Jingyan's shoulder, and his voice became lowered.

"Jingyan, do you actually think that as long as we don't get married, I will be safe from harm? Quite the opposite! You rejected me so decisively, and this is the deepest and most heartbreaking pain I have ever received." Lin Yu's voice was filled with endless pain and resentment, as if his soul had been taken away, and he looked extremely haggard.

Shen Jingyan had already sobbed, and her crystal tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, streaking across her fair and delicate cheeks. She trembled as she reached out her hand and gently wiped away the tears that were flowing freely on her face, but new tears quickly poured out, seemingly unable to be stopped. At this moment, her eyes were filled with unspeakable pain and deep helplessness, like a lamb lost in the darkness, unable to find a way out.

"Lin Yu, it's not that I'm cruel, it's just that I don't dare! I really don't want to put you in an extremely dangerous situation because of my own selfishness. Jiang Xiyan is simply a devil, his cruelty is beyond imagination. If you lose your life because of me, I will live in self-blame and regret for the rest of my life, and I will never have peace." Shen Jingyan cried and shook her head desperately, her body trembling with fear.

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh slightly. He slowly took a step forward, then gently opened his arms and hugged Shen Jingyan tightly. This hug was full of pity and comfort. He hoped to use his body temperature to warm the tortured woman in front of him and give her a little comfort and strength.

"Jingyan, I'm really not afraid of those so-called dangers at all, because they are nothing compared to the possibility of losing you. No matter what difficulties and obstacles we will face in the future, I will stand by your side without hesitation and face and overcome them with you!" Lin Yu hugged Shen Jingyan tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to use all his strength to merge her into his body.

Shen Jingyan's body trembled slightly. She could feel Lin Yu's fiery emotions surging towards her like a tide, making her a little overwhelmed. She felt mixed emotions in her heart, touched and confused, not knowing how to respond to this deep love.

At this moment, there was an abrupt knock on the door, like a thunderbolt that broke the silence in the house. The two people who were immersed in their love were startled at the same time, and subconsciously let go of each other slowly.

Shen Jingyan blushed and quickly turned around, facing away from Lin Yu, and hurriedly tidied her slightly messy hair, trying to hide her inner panic. Lin Yu frowned slightly, and his eyes, which were originally gentle as water, flashed a subtle alertness.

"Come in." After a brief silence, Lin Yu's voice sounded again, and he had regained the calmness and composure he had when he was working in the past.

As the voice fell, the office door was slowly pushed open, and a tall man in a black suit appeared at the door. He first looked at Lin Yu and Shen Jingyan politely, then bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, there is an urgent document that needs your personal signature and confirmation." After that, he handed the folder to Lin Yu with both hands.

Lin Yu nodded expressionlessly, took the folder, and quickly glanced through its contents. His eyes were focused, his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, as if he was thinking about the key information in the file. After a moment, he picked up a pen from the table and signed his name at the end of the file in a flamboyant manner.

After signing, Lin Yu handed the folder back to the man and signaled that he could leave. The man understood, carefully took the file, turned around and walked out the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to close the door gently, for fear of making any noise to disturb the people in the room.

The office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The air seemed to freeze, and once again fell into a suffocating silence. Lin Yu's eyes were fixed on Shen Jingyan's beautiful face. His eyes were like a burning flame, full of endless expectation and affection.

"Jingyan, please don't reject me again and again, okay? No matter what is waiting for us ahead, let us join hands and face the ups and downs of the future together!" Lin Yu's voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible magic.

Shen Jingyan bit her lips lightly, leaving a light mark on her pink lips. Her heart seemed to be pulled by two forces at the moment. On one hand, she had a deep love for Lin Yu and a strong desire to be with him; on the other hand, she was deeply afraid that she would become a stumbling block on Lin Yu's road ahead, or even bring him unexpected danger.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Jingyan finally plucked up the courage and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Lin Yu, I... I really need some time to think about it. This matter is too important to me, and I don't want to make a decision easily."

Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded slightly. Although a hint of disappointment inevitably flashed across his eyes, he still chose to understand and respect Shen Jingyan's thoughts. "Okay, I'm willing to wait for you. But I hope you won't make me wait too long. Because every minute and every second of waiting is a torment for me." Lin Yu's tone was extremely gentle, like the breeze blowing across the lake in spring, soft and warm.

Days passed by like a fleeting moment, but Shen Jingyan's heart was always tugged by an invisible force, struggling in repeated entanglements and thoughts. Every night, when the moonlight shone through the window onto the bed, she would lie on the bed tossing and turning, with her mind constantly surfacing every bit of her time with Lin Yu, and those warm and sweet scenes were like movies playing in front of her eyes.

However, she was full of anxiety and confusion about the future. Marriage means responsibilities, commitments and all kinds of unknown challenges in life, which made her, who has always been independent, feel a little scared. But whenever she thought of Lin Yu's gentle eyes, caring words and the ups and downs they had experienced together, Shen Jingyan's persistence in love in her heart became stronger.

After countless days and nights of suffering, Shen Jingyan finally made up her mind. This morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze blew the curtains gently, as if cheering for this important decision. After Shen Jingyan dressed up carefully, she went out to look for Lin Yu with a nervous heart.

When she saw the familiar figure standing on the street corner, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She took a deep breath and slowly walked to Lin Yu. At this time, Lin Yu was facing away from her, looking into the distance thoughtfully.

"Lin Yu..." Shen Jingyan called softly.

Lin Yu turned around, and when his eyes met Shen Jingyan's, time seemed to freeze. Shen Jingyan's eyes were shining with an incomparable determination, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"Lin Yu, I've made up my mind. Let's get married!" Shen Jingyan mustered up the courage to say these words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
