The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Finally home!

Li Yan felt a bit of the excitement that comes with returning after a long absence, even though he hadn't been gone for long.

The fleeting old times slipped away just like that,

Turning back to look, years have hurried by.

The vast road of the horizon is your wandering,

In the constant search for companionship, it's my footsteps.

The radio in the taxi was playing a song, and the middle-aged driver was humming along off key.

Li Yan was drawn in by the lyrics, but he found that although he didn't remember them, the melody was familiar and he could hum it. It must be an old song! How old though? One he heard years ago? Or when he was a child? He couldn't remember.

...

Perhaps tomorrow, as the sun sets and weary birds return,

You will embark on the journey back home.

...

Hearing this, Li Yan felt even more nostalgic. Although it wasn't exactly "as the sun sets and weary birds return," he was nonetheless on his way home.

Homecoming?

It was just a short trip to Borola. Was it necessary to be so sentimental?

Li Yan laughed at himself in silence, feeling emotional easily was a sign of aging!

However, he knew very well that his sentiment wasn't due to resolving the Clover Organization's grievances, but rather because of tonight's event!

It was a test for him, inviting several interesting girls to a concert together was a challenge and an attempt to test his own romantic prowess. If successful, it might give him the courage to manage multiple relationships; if it failed miserably, he would naturally reign it in.

From the four tickets he distributed, everyone seemed quite happy, which was one of Li Yan's wishes—to make them happy. Of course, if it was ever discovered or they ran into each other, that happiness would likely turn into heartbreak.

Because of all this, coupled with the fitting song, it left him with a "lonely silhouette and a desolate mood."

...

Upon returning home, Zhang Yurong's car was still in the garage, obviously not having left. Yet, he didn't see the two of them, including the most likely office of Zhang Yurong.

Of course, there were two places he was not comfortable going directly, and those were their bedrooms. But it was already almost eleven o'clock, could they still be sleeping?

The essentials Li Yan took with him were provided by someone else, and he simply discarded the ordinary clothes. Now back, he first took a bath and changed his clothes.

Coming out again, Li Yan went to Zhang Yurong's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Just as he was about to check Yue Yao's guest room, he casually twisted the doorknob before leaving.

Unexpectedly, the door opened just like that!

The door opened?

To be honest, Li Yan had never secretly opened Zhang Yurong's door before because he knew very well that the distance between them was too great. He had no expectations, coupled with her cold personality, which made him too lazy to bother, naturally losing interest in checking her bedroom. Despite living under the same roof, they were like strangers, each living their own life.

Several times when seeking Zhang Yurong, she would block the doorway, not letting him in, even showing signs of closing the door at any moment. So, in Li Yan's impression, this door should be strictly guarded by Zhang Yurong, likely locked when she's not around. If it's locked, casually twisting the knob shouldn't do anything, but knowing a twist would open the door.

The door opened? Does it count as fate? Should he go in for a look?

Things were different now. He had accepted this wife's presence to some extent, and he had noticed some of her qualities that appealed to him. To be blunt, initially, he had no interest, but now he had started to take an interest!

Curiosity about a person often leads to liking; likewise, liking someone often leads to curiosity and caring about everything related to them, perhaps part of understanding them as well.

When Li Yan had no interest in Zhang Yurong, he never thought of doing anything to her and let her maintain her consistent purity. However, this didn't mean he was a gentlemen, aside from certain principles, Wen Qianyi understood him. He was just too lazy, too lazy to take action.

Now he kind of likes Zhang Yurong and wants the two of them to develop their relationship further. As for checking out his wife's room, he has no mental barrier. The door is already open, what's the harm in going in for a look? Just consider it a search for someone. She hasn't locked the door, maybe it's not as serious as he imagined?

After convincing himself, he quickly glanced around. In this spacious villa with few people, no one would pay attention to him. Zhang Yurong wouldn't just happen to appear dramatically, so he opened the door a bit and walked in.

"Yurong..."

He called out ostentatiously, but of course, there was no one in the bedroom to respond.

The layout of this room is the same as where he stays; the furnishings and decor are basically the same.

After touring inside, Li Yan was a bit disappointed. Other than a feminine touch, there's not much difference from his own room. Perhaps the biggest difference is the wardrobe...

Perhaps it's because she has been focusing on work and hasn't had much time to arrange her bedroom; or maybe when she initially moved here, she thought their relationship would soon end, and she'd move back to her parents' place, so she didn't bother tidying up this temporary abode!

Whatever the reason, he felt a bit regretful. Had he known, he might not have looked. That way, he'd have had a bit more anticipation.

A tour can be a reason for accidental intrusion, but he didn't go through personal belongings. He retreated from the room, shut the door properly, and left, heading to Yue Yao's guest room.

Unexpectedly, knocking on the door yielded no response. This time he wasn't shy and went straight in, and again, there was no one inside!

...

The large house also has big troubles; now Li Yan realizes it. Don't mention the rooms rarely used, just the places used regularly, there are many possibilities—they could be in the gym exercising, maybe reading in the study, watching a movie in the media room, swimming in the pool, or watering flowers on the rooftop...

With so many places, Li Yan wasn't going to bother checking each one—it felt like playing hide and seek!

Call them? Forget it! Living in the same house and still needing to call each other—what's the point!

However, there were two places he was quite curious about—one was the gym. If the two of them were exercising in there, like practicing yoga last time, wow, that's worth a look!

He immediately headed over, but when he passed by a room, he stopped.

Isn't this the media room?

The room was well furnished with perfect media equipment and many original music and movie disks, featuring excellent soundproofing. Yet, playing alone was dull. Sitting and listening to music wasn't his thing; watching a movie was better in a cinema that has atmosphere... So, the media room was mostly wasted, Li Yan only came in a few times to shout out some tunes, and Zhang Yurong had never been seen in here.

Thinking that the two of them might be watching a movie inside, he decided to open the door to check since he was already there.

Upon pushing open the specially soundproofed door, even before turning on the lights, light and booming sounds erupted from inside.

Apart from this, there were two screams!

Li Yan's eyes hadn't yet adapted to the light inside, but he could vaguely see Yurong and Yue Yao hugging each other on the sofa. The screams came from them.

"Ah—!" Li Yan also screamed, louder than theirs.

"You're yelling? You're scaring us!" Zhang Yurong said loudly in annoyance, while Yue Yao quickly paused the film, and the booming sound abruptly disappeared.

Li Yan walked over with a look of mock indignation and said, "I was only gone for two days, and you two are cuddling together! Alas, woe is me! Am I unnecessary now? That's it, I'm getting a file to end it all..."

Poof—Thunk!

Zhang Yurong and Yue Yao almost fell onto the sofa simultaneously.

They were watching a horror movie!

Females tend to enjoy horror movies more than males; psychologically, they find it harder to see through the essence of horror movies and thus get scared more easily. Physiologically, females have a stronger tolerance for scares than males. Of course, this can be strategic, too. For example, on a date, watching a horror movie allows the girl to "naturally" jump into her boyfriend's arms.

Yurong and Yue Yao had chosen a horror movie to watch together today—it was a Borola one. Borola-style horror movies, unlike those from Beihai or Cloud Island, focus on stomach-churning elements: grotesque forms, blood gushes, etc. They were watching a zombie-type horror movie, where a Borola-style zombie with a slit throat drinks porridge that leaks out from the throat, catching it with his hand and pushing it back down...

Right when they were feeling both nauseated and terrified, Li Yan opened the door! The light from behind streamed in, and a similar situation happened in the movie, which shocked them, making them hold each other tightly. It was Li Yan that scared them; Zhang Yurong was genuinely frightened, while Yue Yao faked the typical scared girl reaction. Certainly, it wasn't the kind of embrace Li Yan joked about.

After Li Yan screamed louder following their screams, Zhang Yurong grumbled back at him. But unexpectedly, this guy went theatrical! Claiming they were embracing each other, leaving them in stitches.

Li Yan sat beside Zhang Yurong smiling, and suggested, "This disgusting horror movie isn't suitable for you to watch!" (To be continued, for more chapters, please visit www.qidian.com to support the authors and read legitimately!)
