Chapter 23 No Room for Refusal

The waiter, realizing that she had caused trouble, looked at Ye Yanxi anxiously.

"Miss, did I bump into you anywhere?"

Ye Yanxi had only felt a bit of pain in her knee just now. Maybe it had hit the metal bar of the food cart and hit a nerve. But now it didn't hurt anymore. The waiter, however, looked extremely frightened.

"It's okay, it's okay," Ye Yanxi said with a faint smile. "Go back to your work!"

Hearing this, the waiter let out a sigh of relief and sincerely apologized, "Miss, I'm really sorry!"

After saying that, she pushed the food cart away.

Only after the waiter left did Ye Yanxi realize that she was still leaning on someone. She quickly straightened herself up and gave the person a grateful smile. "Just..."

Before she could finish her words, she froze. The unspoken words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single syllable.

The person who had held her was none other than Xiao Yu.

When she saw that well - defined and familiar face, Ye Yanxi felt as if she was facing a great enemy. She took a few steps back warily.

"President... Why are you here?" Maybe due to nervousness or extreme surprise, Ye Yanxi stammered. Her big, black almond - shaped eyes were wide open.

The two had a significant height difference. At this moment, Xiao Yu looked down at Ye Yanxi from above, his head slightly lowered. The dim light in the corridor cast his face in shadow, but it gave him a hazy and captivating look.

Xiao Yu didn't seem to care about Ye Yanxi's astonishment and her exaggerated reaction. He just glanced at her indifferently. "Can't I be here?"

Uh, Ye Yanxi then noticed that there seemed to be a restroom behind him, and her face blushed involuntarily.

"N... No!"

Xiao Yu didn't look at her again and walked forward on his own. After walking for a while and seeing that Ye Yanxi wasn't following, he said, "Aren't you coming? How long do you want the clients to wait?"

Xiao Yu's attitude was exactly the same as usual. Maybe he had already forgotten about what had happened yesterday. She was just being overly sensitive and emotional.

Ye Yanxi let out a soft "hmm" and trotted to catch up.

The dinner was a pleasant one, with both the hosts and guests enjoying themselves. After that, they went to a well - known entertainment venue. The others were in high spirits and didn't stop until almost midnight.

After leaving the KTV, arrangements had been made for the clients to stay in a hotel. Only after the clients' cars had left did Ye Yanxi stand by the roadside waiting for a vehicle. There were no more buses at this time, so she had to take a taxi.

The wind was a bit chilly at night. Ye Yanxi was wearing a thin dress and was shivering with cold as she stood by the roadside waiting for a taxi.

At this moment, a black Cayenne pulled up in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and Ye Yanxi heard a deep male voice, which belonged to Xiao Yu. It carried a tone of command. "Get in the car!"

"President, you go first. I'll just take a taxi!"

"Get in the car. Don't make me say it again."

A cold gust of wind blew, and Ye Yanxi shivered again. She looked around. The empty road only had a few cars passing by occasionally, and there wasn't even a sign of a taxi. So she gritted her teeth, opened the car door, and got in.

The car was very warm. Her body and mind immediately felt comfortable. After being cold for so long, Ye Yanxi finally stopped shivering. She closed the car door and then told the driver her address.

Throughout the journey, the atmosphere in the car was very dull. No one said a word. The car soon arrived at the community where Ye Yanxi lived. When she saw the buildings in the community, Ye Yanxi almost cried with joy.

As soon as the car stopped, she opened the car door and rushed out as if she was escaping.

Then, her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly. At the same time, a cold chill suddenly pierced into her heart.

"President, I'm home."
