Xiao Yu held her in his arms and kissed her for a while. Then he slowly pressed her against the glass behind them. A cold chill ran through Ye Yanxi, making her shiver involuntarily.
Their apartment was on the 30th - plus floor, and the entire night view of the city was laid out before them. Leaning against the glass at this moment, she felt as if she were completely exposed to the city, which filled her with a sense of panic.
She tried to push Xiao Yu away with her hands, but his strength was domineering and suffocating. His kiss was like a burning fire on her lips, and his scent filled her nostrils. Her body went limp, and the last bit of willpower in her mind was slowly devoured.
They hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and now they were like dry firewood meeting a spark.
Ye Yanxi resisted silently for a while, but it was all in vain. Then she began to kiss him back shyly.
In the past, Xiao Yu always dominated her in a domineering and powerful way, and Ye Yanxi silently endured his plunder and desires. So every time, Xiao Yu had the illusion that he was being a brute.
However, this time was different. He could feel that Ye Yanxi was trying hard to respond to his kiss. Her movements were clumsy, but the more so, the more it aroused his desires. While still being dominant, his movements became a bit gentler, for fear that he might hurt her with excessive force.
The city lights were dim and magnificent. Right there by the fully - exposed glass wall, the two kissed passionately, lost in the moment...
Afterward, Ye Yanxi felt as if all her strength had drained away again. It was Xiao Yu who carried her to the bathroom to take a shower.
All the way, she buried her head in Xiao Yu's arms, too shy to look up. Although she wasn't an overly conservative girl, doing such a thing by the glass wall was just too wild. What if someone with ill - intent secretly took pictures? The consequences would be dire.
As for Ye Yanxi's concerns, Xiao Yu didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
After the shower, Xiao Yu carried her all the way back to the bedroom. Ye Yanxi rolled into the comfortable and soft quilt and stretched her arms contentedly. The next moment, Xiao Yu pressed himself on top of her and tightly wrapped his arms around her.
Their bodies were perfectly intertwined. Ye Yanxi immediately felt the change in Xiao Yu's body.
It had only been a short while, and he was...
However, it wasn't the first time that Xiao Yu had been like this in one night. In Ye Yanxi's mind, he had always been someone with a strong physical need.
But now, thinking that Xiao Yu had just recovered from his injury, Ye Yanxi pulled out the hand that he had slipped under her pajamas: "You've just recovered from your injury. You can't overwork yourself. You need to rest more."
Xiao Yu's hand didn't stop wandering on her body. The next moment, he gently bit her earlobe with a soft laugh. His voice was low and a bit hoarse: "If I can't overwork myself, there are... other ways."
Feeling Xiao Yu's increasingly bold caresses, Ye Yanxi was flustered and tried to think of what other ways there could be. All day long, she either read books, listened to audio materials, or practiced oral English. She had no idea what Xiao Yu meant.
"What other ways?" Ye Yanxi asked without hesitation, but she vaguely felt that it couldn't be a good way.
Xiao Yu pulled his hand out of her pajamas and then forcefully helped her sit on his lap.
Although he didn't answer what the other ways were, Ye Yanxi had already sensed something from this obvious action. Her mind raced, and she immediately understood. Her face instantly flushed red. She angrily rolled off Xiao Yu and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, looking like she would rather die than submit.
Because of Ye Yanxi's strict defense, in the end, Xiao Yu still couldn't persuade her, so he had no choice but to give up.
Three days later, the news of Chu Beize and He Man's wedding spread like wildfire across City S and became the top - rated news that the media vied to report.
At work, Ye Yanxi yawned as she clicked on the news with the mouse. Suddenly, a piece of news popped up prominently. It was a picture of Chu Beize and He Man standing arm in arm.
Her gaze lingered on the title for a few seconds: Chu Beize, the heir of the Chu Group, and He Man, the daughter of the Jiang Consortium, will hold their wedding at the Chu Hotel in three days...
They were getting married so soon!
Ye Yanxi was very calm at this moment. Just like when browsing other news, she casually closed it and continued to look at other news.
She didn't care much about the news of their marriage, and it had nothing to do with her anymore.
A long time ago, when Ye Yanxi broke up with Chu Beize, she had thought that she would never have any connection with him again. They had truly become strangers.
This piece of news obviously triggered a lot of gossip in the company's internal group. Even though Ye Yanxi didn't want to listen, she still heard the general idea from her colleagues.
All of her colleagues sighed in admiration, saying that Chu Beize and He Man were a perfect match. There was true love even in this kind of wealthy family alliance.
After that, a lot of photos of the two of them together were posted in the group one after another.
Most of them were probably taken by paparazzi. There were photos of them holding hands while shopping, having dinner together, and a photo of Chu Beize talking to He Man with a gentle look on his face.
Those photos looked so sweet and loving to outsiders. It seemed that the two of them didn't notice being photographed, but judging from Chu Beize's expression, he actually knew and deliberately put on such an act. He had always been an excellent actor.
And He Man was obviously trying very hard to cooperate.
It was really hard on the two of them. However, He Man wasn't too stupid. She knew that Chu Beize didn't truly love her, but she still tried her best to cooperate, which showed that she didn't really not care about Chu Beize at all.
To some extent, the Jiang family was a wealthy and prominent family.
However, what did He Man think? It had nothing to do with her anymore.
Ye Yanxi closed the company's internal group and then stared blankly at the computer for a while.
At this time, the chat box flashed again. It was Xiao Yu's avatar. Ye Yanxi frowned and clicked it open.
Xiao Yu: Have you read the news?
Ye Yanxi: What news?
Xiao Yu: The one about Chu Beize and He Man getting married in three days.
Ye Yanxi covered the computer screen with her hand and looked around. She found that no one was looking in her direction.
Ye Yanxi: So what if I read it or not?
Xiao Yu: What's your impression after reading it?
Ye Yanxi: What impression do you think I have?
Xiao Yu: Shouldn't you be happy?
Ye Yanxi: President, I have work to do. I'm busy!
Xiao Yu: I'm in a video conference!
The implication was that he was busier. Ye Yanxi was speechless. He was in a meeting but still chatting with her.
Ye Yanxi: I hope you'll forget all the content of the meeting.
Xiao Yu: I'm afraid your wish won't come true. I've recorded it.
Ye Yanxi:......
It seemed that Xiao Yu was extremely idle. She was too lazy to say anything more. She sent a message saying 'I'm going to be busy' and then closed the chat.
This time, Xiao Yu finally stopped sending messages.
She was just organizing the materials she needed for the afternoon when a colleague shouted at her loudly: "Ye Yanxi, there's a foreign handsome guy looking for you in the lobby."
A foreign handsome guy? Did she know any?
So, under the gazes of gossip, surprise, envy, and jealousy, she stood up, walked out of the office, and took the elevator downstairs.
The moment the elevator door opened, she looked outside. Sure enough, there was a man sitting with his back to her on the sofa in the lounge area. There were two bodyguards standing like poles on either side of him. Just by looking at the man's hair, Ye Yanxi immediately recognized him.
It was Link!
Ye Yanxi tidied up her clothes and walked towards the lounge area. She stood in front of Link looking down at him.
"Mr. Link, may I ask what you want from me?" Ye Yanxi's voice was cold and distant.
Link didn't mind her coldness at all. As soon as he saw her, he showed a look of delight: "Miss Ye, we meet again."
In the face of Link's enthusiastic attitude as if nothing had happened, Ye Yanxi remained cold: "I think there's no need for us to meet again, Mr. Link."
"Why?"
"Mr. Link should know very well, right?" Ye Yanxi's eyes moved, showing a bit of cunning and anger.
Link still looked calm. It seemed that Ye Yanxi already knew the truth.
"So, you've never answered my calls?"
"Mr. Link, I really wish I hadn't helped you back then." Ye Yanxi paused and then said, "I think Mr. Link should understand what I mean."
"I know you think I used you, but... I had no choice."
"So, we just have different paths and can't work together."
"Then if I say that I'm not here to use you this time, will you believe me?" Link's light - colored eyes had a bit of azure blue, looking very sincere and harmless as he looked at Ye Yanxi, "Miss Ye, I just simply admire you very much. You're a good girl. Apart from the previous bit of using you, I hope we can be friends."
Ye Yanxi sneered: "Mr. Link, do you think a friendship based on interests will be stable? Aren't you afraid that one day I'll suddenly stab you in the back under the guise of friendship?"
Obviously, Link didn't understand this principle. How could such a friendship be strong?
Link seemed to sigh and then said, "Anyway, I've always regarded you as a friend. If you have any difficulties in the future and need help, you can come to me at any time."
Ye Yanxi said impatiently: "I don't think there will be such a day."
"Then let's wait and see."
Ye Yanxi returned to the office and was about to continue working when she heard Sister Yang calling her: "Xiaoye, the president said there's a mistake in your data. He wants you to go to his office right away."
Those colleagues who had just been full of gossip and envy now cast sympathetic and excited looks at Ye Yanxi. Being targeted by the president was simply a fate worse than death.
As soon as she heard that there was a mistake in her data, Ye Yanxi immediately went to the top floor. When she reached Xiao Yu's office and just closed the door, she stared at Xiao Yu anxiously: "What's wrong with my data?"
