Evil CEO's Favorites

When he received the report about her and looked at the photos of her and Ye Nanqing, he only felt that his breathing had stopped.    

    

The smile she showed Ye Nanqing made him go crazy with jealousy. It was his carelessness that made him forget that she might fall in love with another man.    

    

When he was inside the car and looked outside the window not far away, Ye Nanqing bent down and stroked her hair. When he was inside the car and looked outside the car, Ye Nanqing bent down and raised his hand to stroke her hair.    

    

He was no longer a child. He knew that even if he made a move openly, she would hate him even more. That was why he secretly went to find Ye Nanqing's weakness and found out that he was looking for someone.    

    

However, what made him even more surprised was that the person Ye Nanqing was looking for was Xia Huanhuan.    

    

He did not regret doing it. If he did not, he might lose her forever. He was just afraid of her reaction, even though, a few hours ago, they had had the closest of relationships, even though — She had promised him that she would not leave!    

    

When Xia Huanhuan carried breakfast into the living room, she saw Jun Ziyan slightly curling his body and sitting on the sofa. He was staring at her like an abandoned child, yet yearning for her intimacy.    

    

Xia Huanhuan bit her lips and placed the tray on the table. "Eat breakfast." Or rather, lunch. It was already late in the morning.    

    

"Alright." He sat down beside her.    

    

As the two of them ate, no one spoke. For a moment, the entire room was silent, and the air was filled with a suffocating pressure.    

    

After the meal, Xia Huanhuan cleaned up the dishes and went back to her room. She took her bag and walked towards the entrance of the Black Pass.    

    

Jun Ziyan pulled her back and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?" To leave him? In the blink of an eye, his face turned pale once again. The feeling of being unable to breathe enveloped his entire body.    

    

"I'm just going to work. It's already noon and I haven't taken any leave yet. I have to go to work, no?" His expression made her heart ache again. She knew he was uneasy, so she lightly pressed the back of his hand and said, "Also, I promised you that I won't leave."    

    

"You won't leave?" His hand remained on her arm.    

    

Xia Huanhuan nodded. Jun Ziyan's expression finally eased up a little, "Then I'll send you to the company."    

    

His eyes were determined, but Xia Huanhuan didn't say anything else.    

    

Jun Ziyan drove Xia Huanhuan to a place near the company as usual. On the way, Xia Huanhuan looked out of the window. When the car stopped, Xia Huanhuan reached out to open the door, Jun Ziyan suddenly leaned over, grabbed Xia Huanhuan's chin, and forced her to look at him.    

    

"Huanhuan, don't look at me and ignore me!" He didn't like this feeling. He didn't like her being by his side, but in her eyes, it was as if he wasn't there anymore.    

    

Xia Huanhuan stared blankly at the face that was just inches away from her. At this moment, her pupils were finally filled with him. "I'm not ignoring you." She hesitated.    

    

"You do." Her cold voice had a hint of hoarseness to it, "You can scold me however you want, scold me however you want, or ask me to do whatever you want, as long as you are willing to look at me and speak to me."    

    

When he finished, he pursed his lips and looked at her in silence. His expression was like an accusation of grievance.    

    

Xia Huanhuan felt her throat become dry. After a long while, she finally said, "I just need time to calm down." Ziyan, can you give me some time? "    

    

She clearly loved him in her heart. Seeing his anxious and injured appearance, she would feel her heart ache, and she would want to properly comfort and protect him. But once she approached him, she would think of what he had done, and then she would not know how to face him.    

    

His long black eyelashes trembled slightly. After staring at her for a moment, his beautiful yet empty eyes slowly faded away. His lips pressed against hers as he muttered, "Alright, I'll give you some time. But Huanhuan, don't make me wait too long. This place …" He took her finger and pressed it against his heart. "This place won't be able to take it."    

    

It would hurt, it would explode, it would go crazy … Just because she …

When Xia Huanhuan arrived at the company, a colleague had already told her that the manager had called her many times this morning. Sure enough, before she even put down her bag, the manager had already walked out of the office and asked, "Little Xia, why didn't you come to the company this morning? Why didn't you give me a call and ask for a leave of absence?"    

    

"Sorry." Xia Huanhuan apologized, "I forgot for a moment, the manager was in a hurry to find me, is there something important?"    

    

"It's not that it's urgent, it's just that the night shift worker over at the villa renovation said that he went to the villa and didn't see you." The company called you, but no one answered, so I wanted to ask what had happened. " The manager smiled. His tone didn't sound like he was being scolded.    

    

"A little personal matter has occurred, but it has been resolved." Xia Huanhuan replied.    

    

The manager didn't ask Xia Huanhuan any further. After saying a few more words, he returned to his office.    

    

Xia Huanhuan then sat down on her seat and looked at the schedule for the decorations on the table. According to the schedule, her work would take at least three months before it was officially over.    

    

Originally, the reason why she renovated the villa was to avoid being trapped by the contract for 5 years. However, since last night, she wasn't so sure anymore. Do you want to stay in this company any longer? He continued to decorate the house that belonged to their memories for Ye Nanqing.    

    

At this moment, she finally understood. To Ye Nanqing, that villa was not only a villa, more of it was his obsession with her when he was young.    

    

However, this sort of persistence shouldn't be on her. The current her was simply unable to give him any sort of response or promise.    

    

Xia Huanhuan lowered her head and looked at the schedule in her hand in a daze. Inside the manager's office, the manager who had spoken to Xia Huanhuan earlier was busy making calls, "Yes, she's already at work …" He didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, just like usual … "Alright, if anything happens to her, I will report it to you in time."    

    

After hanging up, the manager let out a long sigh. In the Sihai Group Building, Ye Nanqing put down his cell phone. With his eyes half-lowered, he rotated the ring on his left hand between his thumb and middle finger.    

    

Nothing out of the ordinary, is it?    

    

Was he deliberately concealing it? Or could it be that she didn't care about whether Jun Ziyan actually did that or not?    

    

Thinking that it might be the latter possibility, Ye Nanqing felt a burst of annoyance in his heart.    

    

"Jun Ziyan …" He read out this name coldly from his mouth. If it wasn't for Mei Xinyi's quick words, he probably wouldn't have dreamed that the person who made him recognize the wrong person was actually someone who didn't seem to have anything to do with that matter.    

    

Therefore, when he saw Xia Huanhuan at the age of six, Jun Ziyan actually saw Xia Huanhuan as well, right?    

    

That night, when she ran away like a fugitive, he stood alone in the sandpit, recalling his encounter with her when he was six years old, recalling her voice and her smile.    

    

In the deepest recesses of his memories, he could vaguely recall that when she was talking to him, there was a gaze that made him feel extremely uncomfortable. That gaze was like an empty cavern, yet it seemed to erode everything.    

    

It reminded him of the darkness and emptiness he hated.    

    

Now that he thought about it, the owner of that gaze should be Jun Ziyan!    

    

Therefore, did they all encounter Xia Huanhuan that year? They were all fond of her warm and radiant smile, so... Were they destined to fight to the death? Sihai Group and Jun's Group were like this, as was Xia Huanhuan!

When Lu Xiaorong saw Xia Huanhuan, she hurriedly asked, "Yesterday, I called you, why can't I get through? Later, Jun Ziyan called me to ask where you were, it was so urgent!"    

    

If she didn't call back at around 12 o'clock and Jun Ziyan's second brother answered the phone and told her Xia Huanhuan was safe and sound, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep the whole night.    

    

Naturally, when Lu Xiaorong received Xia Huanhuan's call in the afternoon, she immediately went out to meet up with her.    

    

"Yesterday, I went back to Z City and lost my electric board so I didn't have time to tell others that I had millions of landlords. Damn it." Xia Huanhuan thought for a moment before replying.    

    

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back home? What's wrong with your mother?" Lu Xiaorong guessed. She remembered once that her good friend suddenly rushed back to Z City because her mother went to the hospital.    

    

"No." Xia Huanhuan shook her head. "I just went to the place where I used to play with a playmate from my childhood."    

    

Fortunately, Lu Xiaorong didn't ask in detail and instead asked, "Oh yeah, was what you said in that text message you sent me yesterday true?"    

    

Xia Huanhuan blanked out for a moment and then remembered that Ye Nanqing was her boyfriend after she sent the text message to her friend yesterday and that she had already broken up with him three years ago.    

    

"It's true." Xia Huanhuan replied.    

    

Lu Xiaorong was flabbergasted. When she saw her good friend's reply yesterday, she almost felt dizzy. Boyfriend?! Ye Nanqing was actually a good friend's ex-boyfriend?    

    

Just thinking about it made her feel a little dizzy. However, this could explain why the person in charge of recruitment had known about Xia Huanhuan the last time Sihai Group was recruited, and why Ye Nanqing had such an expression when he heard that Xia Huanhuan was going to get married.    

    

"Why have you never mentioned it before?" Lu Xiaorong asked.    

    

"Since we've already broken up, I don't want to bring it up again." Xia Huanhuan said. If Xiaorong hadn't asked yesterday, she probably wouldn't have said it.
