CEO's Pampered Sweetheart

Initially, everyone thought that Gu Qin would sit next to Ye Xi, but they didn't expect her to sit on the empty seat in the south. All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.    

    

Ning Shujun and Ning Qianyu looked like they wanted to say something but stopped. Mu Shengchen's gaze swept over Ye Xi, but Ye Xi still did not show any expression, as if he did not feel it.    

    

"What's wrong?" Gu Qin saw that everyone still did not move and asked.    

    

Ning Qianyu was the first to react. She waved her hand. "It's okay. Let's eat."    

    

"Yes, we have to taste President Mu's cooking." Gu Qin said and took the lead to pick up the chopsticks with her right hand. She slowly picked up a piece of vegetables and placed it in the bowl.    

    

Everyone started to eat. Only Ye Xi stared at her right hand, thinking about something.    

    

After dinner, Mu Shengchen and Ye Xi went to pack up.    

    

Ning Qianyu and Gu Qin sat on the sofa in the living room with Ning Shujun and chatted.    

    

After sitting for a while, Ning Shujun stood up, "It's late, I'll go back first."    

    

"Then let Shengchen send you off." Ning Qianyu also stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to call Mu Shengchen out and send Ning Shujun off.    

    

Ning Shujun called Ning Qianyu, "Qianyu, don't call Shengchen. I just need a ride."    

    

"No, I'll send you off." Of course Ning Qianyu would not let Ning Shujun ride.    

    

Gu Qin who was at the side opened her mouth and said, "Ms Qianyu, let me send Aunt Ning."    

    

Ning Shujun suggested, "What are you all running around for? Otherwise, Qianyu, send me a car."    

    

"Aunt Ning, I was the one who picked you up, so I naturally have to send you back. Otherwise, godfather won't forgive me." At the end of her sentence, Gu Qin even made a mischievous face.    

    

Ning Shujun did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Alright, you can give it to me."    

    

Ning Qianyu heard Ning Shujun say so and naturally agreed, "Gu Qin, then I will have to trouble you to send mom back."    

    

Gu Qin patted her chest and said, "Ms Qianyu, don't worry. I promise to send Aunt Ning back safely."    

    

"Yes, drive carefully." Ning Qianyu sent Gu Qin and Ning Shujun to the door.    

    

After sending Ning Shujun and Gu Qin away, Ning Qianyu returned to the living room. Mu Shengchen and Ye Xi came out of the kitchen one after another.    

    

Mu Shengchen's gaze swept around the living room and then asked, "Where are Aunt and Gu Qin?"    

    

"Gu Qin sent Mom back." Ning Qianyu replied.    

    

Mu Shengchen frowned, "Why didn't you call me? I'll go see her off."    

    

"Gu Qin said she would be fine..." Before Ning Qianyu could finish her sentence, Ye Xi, who was behind Mu Shengchen, spoke. "Young Master Chen, Young Mistress, I have something to do over there."    

    

Mu Shengchen looked at Ye Xi thoughtfully and nodded, "Go."    

    

Ye Xi hurriedly picked up his coat and left.    

    

Ning Qianyu stared at his back and muttered, "Why is Ye Xi so anxious?"    

    

"Probably something urgent." Mu Shengchen sat down beside Ning Qianyu.    

    

"Is it about the company?" Ning Qianyu asked. The two of you are so busy every day. The couple needs to develop their feelings..."    

    

"We also need to nurture..."    

    

"Don't stay here..."    

    

"Well, go back to your room..."    

    

After Ye Xi ran downstairs, he hurriedly drove to chase Gu Qin's car.    

    

He did not know why, but when he heard Ning Qianyu say that Gu Qin was going to send Ning Shujun off, he impulsively chased out.    

    

After driving the car out of the neighborhood, he finally realized what he was doing.    

    

Since he had already chased her, he did not regret anymore and continued to chase after her.    

    

Gu Qin's car was not driving fast. Ye Xi chased after her for two streets and saw her red Mercedes-Benz.    

    

Ye Xi did not chase after her. He just kept a close distance and followed behind her.    

    

It was only when they were about to reach the villa that Ye Xi stepped on the gas pedal. Finally, he stopped in front of the villa a few seconds away from Gu Qin's car.    

    

Gu Qin and Ning Shujun got out of the car and saw Ye Xi getting out at the same time. They were a little surprised.    

    

"Aunt Ning." Ye Xi greeted Ning Shujun.    

    

Ning Shujun nodded and turned to Gu Qin. "It's getting late. I won't keep you."    

    

Gu Qin looked at Ye Xi and finally nodded, "Alright."    

    

After sending Ning Shujun into the villa, Gu Qin turned around and asked Ye Xi, "Did Ms Qianyu ask you to come?"    

    

Ye Xi did not answer Gu Qin's question. He just looked at her expressionlessly.    

    

Seeing that Ye Xi did not speak, Gu Qin felt a little bitter in her heart. She curled the corner of her mouth and said, "Thank you. Let's go back now."    

    

As she spoke, she turned around and raised her right hand to open the car door and get into the car.    

    

She had just put her hand on the door handle when Ye Xi, who had been standing there the whole time, came over quickly and reached out his hand. He quickly and accurately grabbed her slender white wrist, stopping her from pulling the door open.    

    

She looked at her wrist, which was tightly held by him, and then turned her eyes to Ye Xi's face.    

    

"What's wrong?"    

    

Ye Xi frowned. He did not quite understand what he was doing. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "It's okay. Take a car back." After saying that, he threw his car keys to the guard outside the villa. "Please send it to the Shengxiang Group tomorrow morning."    

    

"Oh." Gu Qin nodded, then took two steps back, opened the back door, and sat on it.    

    

Ye Xi stood by the car for a while before he walked around the car and opened the door.    

    

After he sat down, he looked at Gu Qin through the rearview mirror. Then he looked straight at the road in front of him and started the car.    

    

On the way to the residential area, Gu Qin and Ye Xi did not say anything.    

    

They got off the car one after another and went upstairs. Finally, as usual, they returned to their room.    

    

After closing the door, Gu Qin pulled out her left hand that had been stuffed into her coat.    

    

The thick roll of tissue on the back of her hand had been dyed red.    

    

Gu Qin threw the blood-stained paper into the trash can and then took off her coat. She got up and went to the washroom. She turned on the tap and rushed at the wound on her hand.    

    

She did not have a medical kit here. She should go to the bureau tomorrow to treat the wound.    

    

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. She was stunned for a moment and then turned off the tap. She pulled a towel and held it. Then, she walked out of the bathroom.    

    

Opening the door, Ye Xi stood outside.    

    

He looked at her and saw that she had taken off her coat and was holding a towel in her hand. He thought she was going to take a bath. He said, "Sorry to bother you."    

    

Gu Qin was stunned and looked down at the towel on her left hand. She understood what he meant by disturbing her. "It's okay. Come in."    

    

She turned around and entered the room. Ye Xi did not hesitate and followed her in.    

    

After entering, Ye Xi habitually looked around.    

    

The room was still the same as before. Apart from Gu Qin's personal belongings, there were no other changes. For some reason, Ye Xi was a little satisfied with this discovery.    

    

Seeing that Ye Xi did not move, Gu Qin pointed at the sofa, "Sit."    

    

Ye Xi paused for a few seconds and walked forward. He did not sit on the sofa. He just took out the car keys from his pocket and placed them on the tea table. "Um, I came here to give you the keys..."    

    

When he noticed the stack of red tissues in the garbage can beside the coffee table, he stopped talking.
