Evil CEO's Favorites

However, she did not feel the slightest bit of joy from being congratulated. The current her didn't want to have anything to do with Ye Nanqing at all.    

    

"What do you think of this villa? Is there any inspiration for the design? " He stood in front of her and asked.    

    

She closed the notebook in her hand and put it in her bag. "I'm sorry, but I'm not taking this case. I'll go back to the company and the manager and make it clear that the company will send a better designer to decorate your villa."    

    

However, she had only taken two steps when Ye Nanqing's voice came from behind her, "Xia Huanhuan, do you really not want to see me?"    

    

She stopped and did not say anything. Instead, she continued to walk towards the stairs.    

    

"Unfortunately, the manager you spoke of would definitely not agree to your request." Ye Nanqing said plainly.    

    

Xia Huanhuan halted her steps and turned around, looking at the man who was still standing in his original spot with a puzzled expression.    

    

Ye Nanqing smiled and turned the ring on his left hand casually, "I can give you another hint, your company was just purchased by Sihai Group not long ago."    

    

So, in other words, he was her real boss?!    

    

Xia Huanhuan's expression changed. Even though she deliberately avoided being recruited by Sihai Group, she still returned to Ye Nanqing's hands.    

    

"You want to go back?" He studied her expression as if he had read all her thoughts.    

    

"So what if I am?" she replied.    

    

"You haven't forgotten the conditions attached to the contract you signed a few days ago, right?" he said.    

    

She pursed her lips. "You mean 300 thousand in penalty fee?" Now that she thought about it, it must have been from the beginning. From the moment this company decided to sign with her, it was Ye Nanqing setting up a trap.    

    

"No." Ye Nanqing smiled and shook his head, "To you, maybe taking out 300 thousand isn't that easy, but I think that 300 thousand isn't that much for Jun Ziyan." 300 thousand in penalty fees was just a decoy, and the real thing that could affect her was —    

    

"If you want to cancel your contract with the company, you can't enter the same kind of company for five years. You can't do any decorating work."    

    

His light smile was dazzling to her.    

    

There was no smile in his eyes, and the coldness of the ice made her realize for a moment that he was really going to deal with her, so he had spent a lot of time and effort to set up this trap for her to burrow into.    

    

A man like Ye Nanqing was much stronger than her in terms of scheming and skill. If he was serious in dealing with her, she wouldn't be able to resist at all.    

    

Her delicate lips pressed into a straight line, she stared at him.    

    

He walked up to her again and lifted a strand of hair off her shoulder. He placed it between his fingers and gently rubbed it. "Are you angry?"    

    

"Do you have to do this?" "If you really want this villa to give you a sense of home, you can find a lot of big-name designers to design it with. Even if you have a lot of money, you don't need to spend so much money on such expensive houses. "    

    

He half lowered his eyes. "Whether it's necessary or not, it's my business. As for you, unless you want to avoid any decorations for the next five years, you can only draw a design for this villa first."    

    

"Do you like forcing people to do things you don't want to do?" She yanked her hair out of his hands.    

    

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Maybe. In this world, there are not many people who can be forced by me. Usually, even more people would be willing to do so without me forcing them. "    

    

Xia Huanhuan took a deep breath. When she first met him, why did she think he was gentle and easy to talk to? Lifting her foot, she circled around him and hurried down the stairs.    

    

"Xia Huanhuan!" Ye Nanqing stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "Don't try to find Jun Ziyan for help. Even if Jun Ziyan interferes with this matter, the result will still be the same."    

    

She ignored his words and ran out of the villa. As for him, the moment her figure rushed out of the door, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.    

    

Was he being tormented?    

    

She thought he was playing around with the villa for no reason, but she didn't know that at the moment he set up this trap, he suddenly had an urge to know what it would be like if she did it.    

    

If he could, he wanted to see...    

    

He had never troubled himself so much for a woman, but she had made him do it. If he had known earlier that she could make him so anxious and worried, he would not have agreed so readily when she said goodbye.    

    

The person he was obviously looking for was Mei Xinyi, but why was she the one he wanted now?    

    

Her mind was full of Jun Ziyan and her together, what would it be like? What did they say and what did they do! Would she smile the same gentle smile she used to have in front of him? Would he hug her carelessly and comfort her lightly? Or would he buy an ornament that was worn only by lovers?    

    

Thinking too much was like being possessed.    

    

"Hey, tell me, am I crazy?" Ye Nanqing muttered to himself. The only response he got was silence.    

    

After Xia Huanhuan left the villa, she ran all the way back to school, took out the contract she had signed not long ago, and read it carefully.    

    

As Ye Nanqing had said, if she was to resign, not only would she have to pay 300 thousand, she couldn't go to a similar company for 5 years and engage in similar jobs.    

    

If it was only 300 thousand, just as Ye Nanqing had said, perhaps she would have hardened her heart and asked Jun Ziyan to borrow it first, but … 5 years... These five years, it was the perfect time for a designer. Moreover, she really liked her job, it could be said to be her dream when she was young.    

    

Therefore, even though the family was not well-off, her mother had gritted her teeth and allowed her to study art, which was much more expensive than any other department.    

    

Xia Huanhuan's eyes reddened as she thought about the hardships her mother had endured in raising her all by herself.    

    

When Lu Xiaorong returned to her bedroom, she saw Xia Huanhuan sitting alone. "Why did you come back so early?" She asked, "Didn't you have dinner with Jun Ziyan?"    

    

"No, are we going to eat? Anyway, it's time to eat. " Xia Huanhuan said as she put away the contract.    

    

"Sure," Lu Xiaorong replied. The two of them went to the school's cafeteria and ordered two servings of food each before finding a seat.    

    

Xia Huanhuan thought for a moment. It seemed that it had been a long time since she and Jun Ziyan had reunited. She then asked, "By the way, Xiaorong, would you rather pay 300 thousand and not do interior design work for five years just to reject a job you don't like?" she asked suddenly.    

    

Lu Xiaorong thought about it and said, "Let's see what kind of work it is."    

    

"For example, decorating a villa for someone you don't want to involve." Xia Huanhuan hesitated for a moment.    

    

"Work is work, private feelings are private. After all, it's not worth it to have to pay that kind of price just to refuse the job. " Lu Xiaorong said as she looked at her friend, "Did something happen?" With his good friend's personality, there must be a reason for him to ask such a question.    

    

"Nothing …" As Xia Huanhuan spoke, her phone's ringtone suddenly rang. She picked up her phone and checked the caller ID. It was Jun Ziyan.    

    

"Where?" After picking up the phone, a familiar clear and cold voice came from the other side.    

    

"Eating at the school cafeteria with friends." Xia Huanhuan replied.    

    

"Wait for me." After saying this, the call ended.    

    

Xia Huanhuan was baffled. She did not say the time or place. How could she wait for him to say those two words! However, five minutes later, when Lu Xiaorong's mouth was wide open as she looked behind her with astonishment, she finally understood.    

    

Dressed in a set of white clothes, he walked straight towards her. Everywhere he passed, many girls would cast sidelong glances at him.    

    

"Where did you call me?" Xia Huanhuan's first reaction was to ask.    

    

"At the school gate." Jun Ziyan answered.    

    

No wonder he could come so fast! Xia Huanhuan saw that Lu Xiaorong and she had just started dinner, so she turned to Jun Ziyan and asked, "Have you eaten?"    

    

"Nope." He shook his head.    

    

Xia Huanhuan stood up and went to buy food for Jun Ziyan. The table was left with only Jun Ziyan and Lu Xiaorong.    

    

Lu Xiaorong had seen Jun Ziyan before, but that was when she looked down from far away from the dorm. There were also a lot of people between them, so she wasn't as clear as she was now.    

    

It was precisely because he had seen it clearly that he was shocked. The man in front of her had a handsome face and delicate facial features. From any angle, it could be said that his face fit the definition of a rich and handsome man, but his eyes were so empty that it made one's heart shiver. Even if he was looking at you, you would feel that you were actually not in his eyes at all.    

    

This man was Xia Huanhuan's childhood sweetheart.    

    

And this man, was the current CEO of Jun's Group, the renowned third young master of Jun Family!    

    

Lu Xiaorong couldn't believe that there was such a person sitting in front of her. When she looked at him, he glanced at her, but after those two eyes, he completely ignored her as if she were air.    

    

In the end, it was Lu Xiaorong who broke the silence. "I'm Xia Huanhuan's good friend, Lu Xiaorong."    

    

Jun Ziyan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Xiaorong. However, he didn't give any reply. Lu Xiaorong felt chills go down her spine. Just when she thought this conversation would end, the other party's thin lips finally curled up, "Jun Ziyan."    

    

To him, a name was like an introduction.    

    

Lu Xiaorong bolstered her courage and asked again, "Did you and Xia Huanhuan really know each other since you were young?"    

    

"Yes."    

    

"Xia Huanhuan seems to have some problems with her work. If you're free, please take care of her." Lu Xiaorong thought about the problems that her friend had mentioned before, so she reminded Jun Ziyan.
