The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 108



(The internet was down just now, so the update is a bit late. It's been a week since the new book was released, and I've basically maintained three chapters a day plus additional updates, almost 80,000 words. Every day, the book appears in the VIP channel's update word count list and VIP public collection list. This is the result of me sleeping at 1:00 p.m. and getting up to eat at 6:00 p.m., and then continuing to write. Five hours of sleep a week. Thanks to everyone's strong support, I am still able to hold on mentally, although my beard has grown wildly. Fortunately, I haven't developed acne, maybe because I'm not that young anymore. Thank you for your support. The one-week subscription results have already surpassed the cumulative results of the first three weeks of the new book 'Springtime Leaked' and surpassed the cumulative subscriptions of 'Seems Pure' in the first month! Back then, 'Springtime' was first in the monthly pass for new books, and 'Pure' was third. Now, maintaining the second place in monthly passes, I am extremely grateful! I will continue to work hard and hope for more readers to subscribe and support with monthly passes! Of course, in the next few days I will also catch up on sleep, can't let my body break down.)

Hearing her shout for compensation of ten thousand yuan made the waiter's face turn pale; she didn't dare to speak. If she had to compensate, several months of her salary would be gone. Even the café manager on the side was too angry to speak up, hoping that the seemingly sophisticated Zhang Yurong would resolve the issue well. Other guests, of course, were simply there for the show, hoping for things to get even more chaotic.

Zhang Yurong had already recovered from her shock at Li Yan. Considering her husband, who is always casual in dress, and as a big man wouldn't pay attention to women's fashion trends, he clearly didn't know the price involved. She quickly chimed in, "Five thousand bucks? That dress of yours is worth five thousand? Eight hundred, at most! It's none of my business; you guys were playing around and bumped into someone. I just happened to pass by and now you're trying to pin it on me?"

Although she was only in regular office attire, she was no naive young girl. As the president of the Paradise Group, how many high-level and mid-level managers under her command hold her in awe and remain silent? Apart from cursing and fighting, which she wasn't good at, now with Li Yan's protection, she was equally good at arguing and presenting the facts, with an imposing aura.

"Eight hundred? Do you think it's the cheap stuff on you? Ten thousand, not a penny less! Otherwise, you guys aren't leaving!" she said while grabbing Lu Fei's hand, "Honey—"

Lu Fei hesitated a bit. If it were just Zhang Yurong, with the absolute number of people on their side, having two women go up and pull could perhaps force the other side to comply. But now that a clearly stronger man had arrived, were they really going to fight?

He thought for a moment and said, "The ten thousand yuan compensation also includes the fact that you just hurt my wife's hand!"

That brother Lai Yuchun, seeming to mediate, spoke up, "How about this? No one carries that much cash, and it's not suitable to compensate by card. You two apologize sincerely, and however much you have on you will be the compensation. Let's wrap it up. We were in a good mood, and now it's all gone, no interest in going in for a drink. Let's just call it quits on this issue."

"So generous!" Li Yan sneered, pointing at the rude woman, "You, come over here!"

"What do you want?"

"I want to check if this dress is really worth that much. If it is, I can compensate you!"

"Li Yan..." Zhang Yurong hastily pulled him. Though she understood in her heart that he didn't want her to be too embarrassed or dragged down to avoid anyone familiar seeing their relationship, she was not at fault. She would absolutely not back down, even if it meant calling the police.

Li Yan held her soft, boneless hand, squeezing it lightly to indicate he knew what he was doing.

Seeing Li Yan's tough tone, originally seen as blustery intimidation, made that woman smile disdainfully. Others hadn't expected Li Yan to be so agreeable.

The woman stepped forward a few steps, stood in front of Li Yan, and raised her chin arrogantly, "Have a good look. Your wife, at a glance, doesn't know quality. I hope at least you are a man who knows and admits to quality!"

Hearing her ridicule Li Yan, Zhang Yurong was a bit agitated again, but at this moment, she felt Li Yan's grip. This small comfort brought an inexplicable emotion to her heart, calming her quickly. It seemed that leaving the matter to him was fine, and she could quietly hide behind his broad shoulders instead of facing everything forcefully herself.

Li Yan glanced up and down, and said calmly, "Let's assume yours is worth over five thousand!"

Saying this, amid the surprised looks of everyone, he took a tied bundle of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket.

Suddenly, everyone conjured up strange thoughts.

Wow, there really are people who carry ten thousand in cash on them these days! Could he be a rich man who doesn't like using cards but prefers cash? Or did this unfortunate guy anticipate a big expenditure tonight and prepared in advance?

Zhang Yurong was also shocked, feeling like Li Yan was a magician, full of mystery. This made her even want to touch his pockets to see what else he might pull out.

"You've also seen it! This is real money, ten thousand yuan, and I happen to have it on me! But you need to clarify, after taking this ten thousand, will it compensate for your dress, your mood, and the pulling just now?" Li Yan said calmly.

Zhang Yurong secretly frowned, feeling a bit disappointed in her heart. Although the protection from her husband had calmed her, as her partner, she hoped he would be the domineering, strong man he was upon arrival, and not one who resolved things by being conciliatory.

The woman had already reached out to take the money, murmuring, "Just like that, consider yourselves lucky."

Seeing Li Yan's gaze shift, Lu Fei, Lai Yuchun, and the woman beside him exchanged glances and were also satisfied with this outcome, nodding together. "If it's real money, then let's conclude the matter this way. We won't push for more."

"Alright! You hold on to it!" Li Yan handed the money to the woman,

At the same time, he let go of Yurong's small hand with his other hand as well. Seeing how quickly he released her hand, unwilling to comfort her a little longer, Yurong felt even more disappointed. She sighed with a sense of resignation in her heart. Ah... that's just how he is. For him to behave like this today is already pretty good; how could one expect someone like him to transform into a magnificent hero?

...

The woman who got the money immediately turned around, waved the bundle of cash triumphantly like a trophy to her companions and all the onlookers.

Seeing her smugness, everyone looked at Li Yan with pity; as a sucker, he was truly one of a kind.

At that moment, Li Yan swiftly reached out with both hands, grabbing the skirt of the woman still standing in front of him flauntingly, from behind her shoulders, and forcefully tore it apart with a powerful pull!

"Rip——"

After a drawn-out ripping sound, the skirt was forcibly torn from the back under Li Yan's strength, becoming a piece of cloth, which he then pulled completely into his hands.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone wide-eyed; no one expected him to do something so brazenly!

"Ah——"

The woman, basking in her display, thought her skirt had simply torn, and bitterly mused: Damn, it really had to happen now, a quality issue, but at least the compensation is already in hand...

After their shock, the three immediately stepped forward; another woman held her to stabilize her. Lu Fei and Lai Yuchun then approached Li Yan.

Even Yurong was taken aback, not expecting her husband to suddenly do such a thing. Fearing they might start fighting, she anxiously tugged at Li Yan's clothes from behind. Though a reasonable person, who would not give in to anything unreasonable, now her husband had done something unreasonable himself—while satisfying, it couldn't end well, so better not escalate to a fight.

"You're fucking looking for death, huh! Daring to mess with my woman!" Lu Fei shouted angrily.

Lai Yuchun also voiced sternly, "You think we're civilized people who don't hit?"

They both saw Li Yan standing composed and calm, with a smirk of disdain at his mouth. Knowing it's two against four, yet daring to provoke like this, he clearly had something to rely on. The two of them had some apprehensions, thus began with strong words, or else they would have punched him directly without saying anything!

The onlookers all became excited; apart from the waitstaff and the store manager of the Sea Moon Hall, including the hotel security who arrived, were all hoping the incident would escalate for some thrill, although a fight wouldn't look good for them, once it started, they could intervene. A mere verbal spat, however, wouldn't suffice.

Li Yan eyed them mockingly, retorting with his mouth, "Are your mouths for eating or for shitting? What did you guys just agree to? This skirt is something I bought for ten thousand dollars, whether I want to tear it, toss it, or give it back to your woman, it's my business, not any of yours. Do you really feel it's such a face-saver for your woman to wear something that belongs to me, flaunting the money I gave here?"

These words turned Lu Fei's face shades of red and white. He wanted to argue back but had indeed verified just now, everyone agreed that was the full compensation, since they reimbursed the original price, reclaiming the skirt did make some sense.

The crowd of onlookers began to marvel at this sucker; so it turned out this kid had purposely set up to make a scene and humiliate her! Brilliant, brilliant, spending ten thousand to let her suffer a grand humiliation at her most triumphant moment; it's truly spending money for pleasure.

Yurong was a bit speechless, not only for his uncivilized words and methods but also for his cunning logic. However... seeing this man having a cunning, coarse side is still better than being a meek pushover.

As they were speechless at Li Yan's words, he casually threw away the skirt he'd torn into strips, then turned back to ask Yurong, "Do you have any wet wipes?"

Everyone was puzzled, even Yurong was perplexed, but she still reached into her bag, took out wet wipes, and handed them to him.

Li Yan took two pieces, began wiping his palms, then explained to the surrounding audience, "Sorry about that, although I just tore something I bought, it already got dirty, of course, I need to wipe my hands."

Only then did everyone realize, laughing at how he cleverly insulted her!

The woman understood and immediately cursed, "Bastard! You're the dirty one! Daring to trick me! Husband, don't let him off! Beat him to a pulp!"

Li Yan ignored her, treating her like a barking mad dog, and just as uncivilly, tossed away the used wet wipes like thrown-out scraps, turning to the stuck-in-a-dilemma Lai Yuchun and Lu Fei before him, he said:

"Your issue has been resolved with ten thousand. Now, let's settle the issue of these two women tearing up my wife's clothes and hitting her. My wife's clothes weren't five thousand; they were custom-designed overseas by a famous designer, hand-made over three months by a renowned manufacturer, air-freighted here, with only two sets in the world for her change, all costing over three hundred fifty thousand. As for hitting my wife, humph..." (To be continued, for further developments, please log onto www.qidian.com for more chapters, support the author, and support legitimate reading!)
