The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

...

"What kind of look is that? As if I'm coveting your beauty or something! You're dreaming, I have better taste than that." Li Yan mocked.

Daring to belittle a beautiful girl like me, how blind! ... Yu Xiaodi's anger shot up.

"You just bit me, and I said I'd bite you back. I'm a man of my word!"

Li Yan said while lowering his head to take a bite.

"Hey, you... ah...!" Yu Xiaodi screamed, "Bastard! You really bit me!"

She initially thought Li Yan was using this as an excuse to take liberties, but to her surprise, she felt pain—he really bit her!

After a while, Li Yan released, "Tch! It's like you lost out, but you bit me directly, while I bit through fabric. Technically and factually, I didn't even touch you; my teeth just came into contact with your clothes. You're the one who might give me rabies."

Yu Xiaodi's eyes burned with anger, her teeth almost grinding to dust. She cursed in her heart: Bastard! Shameless! This hooligan, sadist! Just wait, I'll bite you to death when I get the chance! I'll bite through your clothes too!

Li Yan, fearing things might escalate, immediately got off the bed and began to dress.

"I've verified it, I won't call you little A anymore. Goodbye, Miss small D! Remember not to mess with me again; kids shouldn't play with fire." Li Yan packed up his phone and offered a friendly reminder before leaving.

"Who's small, you... I'll bite you next time..." Yu Xiaodi muttered angrily to herself, seeing he was really about to leave, quickly shouted, "Hey! Aren't you going to let me out?!"

"Don't you have a key? By the way, this is a special kind of handcuff. Next time you want to deal with someone, use military or police handcuffs for better effect."

"Hey!" Yu Xiaodi struggled hard, afraid he'd leave. Urgently she said, "That's for someone else to handcuff you, the handcuffs and key are with them! Do you want me to be seen like this? I'd be so embarrassed! I can't live anymore! Have you no conscience!"

Li Yan was indifferent, "Why should I have a conscience for someone who set me up?"

"Can't you be a little more compassionate..."

"Why should I be compassionate to someone who set me up? Besides, you..."

Seeing him pretending to shiver while looking at her, knowing full well his disdainful smile was intentional, Yu Xiaodi couldn't suppress her anger, "Aren't our affairs settled? Shouldn't you have some public morality? This is too much!"

Li Yan understood that for a girl of eighteen or nineteen, face was paramount, especially for someone as accustomed to being cocky as Yu Xiaodi. There was a limit to the lesson; he had already significantly bruised her pride and shouldn't make her unable to hold her head up before others, or she might become extreme.

"What's the market rate for public morality? Hmph, I'm bored anyway, so the time you wasted doesn't count. But if you want me to unlock the handcuffs as a part-time job, it's at least five hundred a pop, market rate for side gigs!"

Seeing his smile, Yu Xiaodi grumbled, "Fine, fine! Just hurry up and unlock it!"

...

Zhang Yurong had been busy working from home all morning. Seeing Li Yan went out and showed no intention of coming back, she swam for an hour at the pool after lunch.

She loved swimming, but living under the same roof as Li Yan, supposedly as a couple, if he decided to watch or had the nerve to join, she couldn't openly oppose it. To avoid ruining her mood, she usually swam when Li Yan wasn't home.

After swimming and showering, Zhang Yurong didn't return to her office but lay on the living room sofa reading a financial magazine. With Li Yan absent, she felt particularly free and without worry. At this moment, her phone rang. To avoid missing anything important, her phone was on 24/7 and never far from her.

Upon checking, she found it was a message from Li Yan, which surprised her. It was a video of someone being detained!

This startled Zhang Yurong. However, she wasn't an ordinary girl and was only briefly shocked. As she watched the ten-second video repeatedly, she calmed down and began to think about who Li Yan might have offended.

She didn't know much about her husband. They had been married for four months, with more interaction and communication only happening yesterday. Her impression of him was as someone lazy and idle. In the company, he could be looked down upon by some, but not to the point of being offended. Outside the company, she had no idea… She recalled he mentioned last night he got into a car accident and a fight. She had seen the scratches on his car when he returned.

Could it be related to that?

Before she could make sense of it, she received another call from Li Yan's number. After answering, she only had time to say "Li Yan" before hearing a young girl's voice on the other end, who quickly spouted a bunch of nonsensical words and hung up.

Having watched the video multiple times, she noted that Li Yan's location was not in deserted places like wasteland or abandoned buildings but resembled a nice hotel room. Since Yu Xiaodi was filmed from the front, she couldn't see the handcuffs behind him. The phone's camera angle also omitted the plastic rope binding his legs.

A superficial kidnapping scene with tape over the mouth couldn't withstand scrutiny. The situation didn't seem like a threat for ransom but rather a demonstration, making Zhang Yurong suspect it was a prank masterminded by Li Yan and others.

Although she planned to ignore it, with something like this happening, she found it challenging to focus on reading magazines. After hesitating for a while, she dialed Li Yan's number. But she found the phone was turned off!

It was definitely intentional, but was it Li Yan's prank, or was he forced to turn it off?

Unfamiliar with Li Yan's social circle, she didn't know whom to call for verification. She could only wait, deciding to report to the police if he didn't return by evening.

Zhang Yurong didn't have to wait long. She read two articles distractedly before Li Yan's call came in. She immediately answered.

"Li Yan? Is that you? Are you okay?"

"It's me." On the other end, Li Yan felt a little sentimental. This was the first time he heard his wife show concern, even though it was under these circumstances. Of course, apart from last night, he hadn't shown much concern for Zhang Yurong either.

Hearing Li Yan's voice, Zhang Yurong felt relieved but then asked coolly, "What happened?"

"Um… it was a misunderstanding earlier, nothing much. I'm fine..."

Hmph! I knew it was a prank! Zhang Yurong snorted coldly. At this moment, she heard a coquettish, enticing young woman's voice from Li Yan's phone, resembling the voice from before, "Brother Yan, you were so strong earlier! I enjoyed it so much, was so HAPPY, let's do it again..."

"Hmph!" An upgraded provocation? Zhang Yurong coldly hung up the call.
