The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Nian Yufei's two bodyguards quickly realized they were led away on a wild goose chase. As Nian Yufei was making her call, they hurried back, accompanied by Old Man Mu, who had been inside the concert hall. Seeing Nian Yufei unharmed, everyone finally relaxed, and Old Man Mu earnestly thanked Li Yan. The last time he met Li Yan, he hadn't yet learned the specifics from Nian Yufei, so there was no opportunity for thanks. This time, the gratitude doubled.

Old Man Mu had his plans concerning the female assassin. After observing the situation, he stepped outside to the lounge and made a few calls, arranging for people to handle the aftermath, including the bloodstains.

Li Jie posed a bit of a dilemma for Old Man Mu. As a personal bodyguard, her effectiveness was compromised due to her injuries, and she needed to go to the hospital. But with a shortage of hands, even though he could ask Li Yan to take her, there were still accomplices to the assassin around. He was desperate for Li Yan to stay and protect Nian Yufei.

Noticing his dilemma, Li Jie spoke up first, "I'm not that fragile. Close combat might be out, but I can still assist in protecting from the shadows. I've already bandaged up. Let's head to the hospital after the concert!"

"Thank you, Miss Li!" Seeing the knives and guns on site, Old Man Mu understood the earlier situation was intense, and Li Jie had paid a significant price to protect Nian Yufei.

When he turned to look at Li Yan, he found that he had already slipped away amidst the chaos!

Li Yan wasn't just doing good without seeking recognition; he knew very well that Old Man Mu would ask him to stay and help. With only Nian Yufei and the injured Li Jie there before, he stayed. Now that others had returned, he didn't want to take on their work. Saving a life was one thing, but becoming a bodyguard wasn't worth it. At this moment, Nian Yufei was not the orphan who would die without his protection like before. Besides, he was still busy. If he became a bodyguard now, how would he handle others later?

His departure left Old Man Mu rather helpless. In fact, both Nian Yufei and Li Jie noticed it too, but they both knew that someone like Li Yan couldn't be forced to stay.

...

Nian Yufei resumed her performance, finishing the last segment. Li Jie and the bodyguards went to the front of the stage to protect her, while Old Man Mu was less polite to the two people from Li country, leading them to see the female assassin and questioning why they drew an assassin over.

Li Yan continued to run around in disguise. Everyone was used to it, saying nothing. Only Yue Yao had caught a whiff of blood from him, which made her even more suspicious. But with Zhang Yurong in the middle, it was inconvenient for her to inquire, so she chose to no longer care about the concert, readying to coordinate with Li Yan at any moment.

Perhaps Old Man Mu had called for more people to protect, or maybe the female assassin was the main force, as no further attacks against Nian Yufei occurred. The concert concluded without incident. However, Jin Nanxing and Jin Nanshow, the guests from Li country, did not partake in the curtain call.

During the applause at the end, Li Yan had already slipped away, not standing by any of them. Reaching this point tonight was no easy feat. But sending them home afterward would make it impossible for him to be in two places at once. Helplessly, he couldn't take any of them back.

Excusing himself, saying there was much to do after the performance and someone had been unexpectedly injured, he needed to stay and work for a while, sending this reason in a group message to all of them and then went to the side of the front hall, watching the departing crowd from afar.

Because during the performance, everyone attentively listened, making it inconvenient to communicate loudly. After exiting, they began commenting on tonight's show. Unlike the general audience, without Li Yan, Yu Xiaodi, Huang Ying, Hai Fu, Wen Qianyi were all solitary. It was only Zhang Yurong and Yue Yao together. As they came out, without exception, they all looked around to see if Li Yan would come rushing out, especially Zhang Yurong, who along with the others, paced around the front hall, seemingly wanting to wait for Li Yan.

This made the distantly observing Li Yan silently lament. As the leaving crowd thinned out in the front hall, the likelihood increased for the six hesitantly waiting people to notice each other.

At this moment, his phone buzzed non-stop. Just hanging up on one, another call came in, and he dared not answer any. Because once he answered, he couldn't just hang up on them, right? Apologies, explanations, comfort—at least a few words must be said, right? The result would be that no matter whose call he took, the others would find him talking to someone and grow suspicious.

The audience departed in droves, leaving the front hall sparsely populated. Huang Ying obediently left, heading to the bus stop by herself. Among those left, Hai Fu had already spotted Zhang Yurong and Wen Qianyi! She didn't know Yu Xiaodi or Yue Yao, but upon seeing her two company colleagues, she quickly lowered her head and quickened her pace outward.

Zhang Yurong, who knew her well, would definitely ask whom she came with if they met, and she couldn't say she came with Li Yan, could she? Saying she came alone would seem too pitiful. Despite not knowing Wen Qianyi well, she was Li Yan's colleague. Seeing Li Yan with her might make her tease him. So she hurried away, not knowing that neither Wen Qianyi nor Zhang Yurong recognized her even after seeing her.

The remaining four had met once before, and during that meeting, Li Yan was present. This made them all momentarily freeze upon seeing each other again.

Everyone hesitated for a moment and then walked over, meeting in the middle. Li Yan had been observing from a distance, not seeing Hai Fu or Huang Ying, which made him feel slightly relieved. But seeing these four women meeting together gave him a headache. He wanted to hear what they were saying but couldn't get too close without being noticed.

...

"Teacher Wen... Miss Zhang, Miss Yue Yao, you're here too." As she approached, Yu Xiaodi greeted them proactively.

Wen Qianyi's face was also full of smiles: "Hello, Xiaodi, President Zhang, Miss Yue Yao, you came to listen to the concert too?"

"Hello, you two." Yue Yao responded to the greeting but felt confused inside. Could it be that Li Yan also invited them? Is that why he keeps disappearing? But why does he have a smell of blood on him?

"Hello." Zhang Yurong also forced a greeting. She wasn't like the other two. She had noticed during the Prince Hotel incident that these two had a close relationship with Li Yan. Wen Qianyi didn't seem overly intimate, perhaps due to work and being good colleagues; Yu Xiaodi, however, she considered Li Yan's little lover.

Li Yan's behavior tonight seemed off, but Yue Yao speaking on his behalf and explaining things in a positive direction had moved her somewhat. Now, seeing these two, she more or less understood.

Due to Zhang Yurong's consistently cold image, Wen Qianyi didn't take her aloofness too much to heart. She was more concerned about Yu Xiaodi's situation, clearly sensing Li Yan had invited both of them; he might have spent only twenty percent of his time with her, while eighty percent was with Yu Xiaodi. Claiming to be too busy to pick her up or walk together might just be a cover for spending time with her.

She cheerfully asked, "Xiaodi, why did you come alone? Isn't your Li Yan accompanying you?"

But Yu Xiaodi had the same thought. Her interaction with Zhang Yurong was brief, knowing only that she was the boss of Li Yan's company, while Wen Qianyi was likely someone Li Yan secretly admired or loved. It seemed odd today, but seeing her made things fall into place. She felt sour inside: That old man is too biased, spending only a few minutes with me and most of his time with her. Saying he was too busy to pick or drop me off was just for Teacher Wen, right?

Hearing Wen Qianyi's intended words, Yu Xiaodi smirked to herself. Go ahead and pretend! Want to flaunt in front of me? Want to see me embarrassed? Hmph! I, Yu Xiaodi, am not so easily shaken! Teacher Wen, you may be mature, sexy, and irresistibly charming, but I am younger, and I will mature too... I won't give up!

After all, Wen Qianyi had been her tutor and left a very good, deep impression on her. So even though she regarded her as a rival, she was reluctant to tear things apart on the spot. Yet, youthful arrogance made her take Wen Qianyi's probing words as provocation, thus stifling her sourness and resentment, and sarcastically retorted, "From what you say, he's not my Li Yan yet; he temporarily belongs to some vixen!"

To Wen Qianyi's ears, this was rather piercing. She thought: I'm not even concerned with stealing him, he came to me! I should be upset about your attitude. You're calling me a vixen?

She kept her smile but started to return sarcasm: "I used to say Li Yan is not charming at all, but turns out there's a vixen fighting over him. Not an easy feat!"

Yu Xiaodi's face turned unpleasant; to her, not only was she labeled as a vixen, but Li Yan was also belittled!

"Hehe, of course, people fight over good men. The most annoying thing is some vixen sitting on the toilet and refusing to leave, sitting in the nest and not laying eggs, just spoiling good men." Yu Xiaodi retorted, pulling in the other two ladies present. "Sister Zhang, Sister Yue Yao, don't you agree?"

The man likened to a toilet and a chicken coop sneezed twice in the distance. Though he couldn't hear the happenings on site, he could sense the atmosphere was unfriendly.

While they were engaged in a subtle battle, Zhang Yurong on the side felt angrier than the sum of the anger from the other two! Regardless of the relationship, Li Yan is her husband, and now they were openly saying with her present that he belonged to someone else, calling him a vixen's man! One mention of vixen included her in the accusation. Her relationship with Li Yan was nominal rather than genuine, which seemed exactly like the kind of vixen Yu Xiaodi was sarcastically referring to.

She was furious long before. Yu Xiaodi was criticizing that she was sitting on the toilet and not leaving, sitting in the nest and not laying eggs, wasting a good man, and while saying all this, she asked for her agreement!

This was too humiliating! Li Yan actually told this to Yu Xiaodi, how shameless!

The ice queen's undercurrent was raging, and the volcano was about to erupt! (To be continued, for more information, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters available, support the author, support legitimate reading!)
