The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Yu Xiaodi thought Li Yan admired Wen Qianyi, and since Wen Qianyi had no feelings for him, she was mocking Wen Qianyi just now. Unexpectedly, this remark inadvertently hurt Zhang Yurong beside her, hitting her directly where it hurt!

Poor Yu Xiaodi was still unaware of her slip of the tongue, and when she saw Zhang Yurong's face darken, she thought Zhang Yurong agreed with her words!

Wen Qianyi was also infuriated by her words. Really? Clearly, it's Li Yan who wants to tangle with you when he's with you, yet you blame everything unpleasant on me? Do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm not throwing a fit? Don't believe me, do you? I'll actually take Li Yan away from you?

She kept smiling, but her tone became more polite: "Miss Yu, it's your business if you like Li Yan, but your words can't be so harsh..."

Yue Yao was dumbfounded and speechless. Because Li Yan married Zhang Yurong, she valued Zhang Yurong and found her very good after getting to know her, so she helped match them together. Yu Xiaodi and Wen Qianyi, even if it seemed they had some feelings for Li Yan, could only be considered as outsiders, and she naturally wouldn't help them.

But the current situation seems like the third and fourth women are fighting and then attacking Zhang Yurong, the primary wife! However, Yu Xiaodi's words were a bit sharp, making Yue Yao unsure if they were Li Yan's own thoughts. If not, she would surely help Zhang Yurong fight back, but if they were truly Li Yan's thoughts expressed through Yu Xiaodi, she couldn't say anything.

She thought for a moment, then stepped back a few steps to call Li Yan.

Zhang Yurong couldn't hold back and sneered: "From your tone, it seems like taking someone else's man is perfectly justified for you? It's wrong if that person doesn't give him to you? Miss Yu, you're truly domineering!"

As she spoke, holding the moral high ground and really angry, she displayed the authority of a president, startling Yu Xiaodi and Wen Qianyi.

Yu Xiaodi didn't expect she would be directly accused, but she had nothing to counter the accusation. Wasn't it obvious? Li Yan had always said he had a wife, and he considered Wen Qianyi as his wife, liking her for a long time, while she was indeed the newcomer, the third party!

Wen Qianyi didn't expect Zhang Yurong to speak for her, maybe because they were both from the same company? She felt a bit conflicted too, as she believed there was nothing between her and Li Yan, and Zhang Yurong's support made it seem like Yu Xiaodi was indeed fighting for her boyfriend.

Yue Yao dialed Li Yan's number, anxious, seeing Zhang Yurong involved now, and unsure if the situation would escalate further. Pick up the phone quickly!

After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaodi reacted, looked at Wen Qianyi, then at Zhang Yurong, and snorted: "I almost forgot, Miss Zhang is Miss Wen's boss, of course she'd help her. Don't label me; it's obviously wrong to take someone else's man, but if a man loves her wholeheartedly and the woman doesn't cherish him at all, who can be to blame? Hmph! Don't think I don't know, in your eyes, Li Yan is just a poor little employee, not worthy of you powerful women! I like him, I think he's great, and I won't let you trample over him!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned and walked away. Three against one, whether arguing or fighting, wouldn't be worth it, so she simply left!

But thinking about how she could abandon everything for Li Yan, yet he spends eighty percent of his time with Wen Qianyi, and only gives her twenty percent — to him, she held so little — this made her tears fall uncontrollably as she left.

They also saw Yu Xiaodi leaving in tears and were shocked by her last two sentences. Both Zhang Yurong and Wen Qianyi asked themselves: Is this true? Does Li Yan like me wholeheartedly, and I can't accept him because of his status?

Watching the girl leaving who argued for Li Yan in tears and devoted herself wholly, they were speechless, realizing they couldn't compare their feelings for Li Yan with hers at all!

And this mindset also made them overlook each other; Wen Qianyi never imagined Zhang Yurong could have something with Li Yan, while Zhang Yurong mainly viewed Yu Xiaodi as a coquettish little fox fighting for a man. Her departure left them in silence.

"Thank you, President Zhang, actually..." Wen Qianyi wanted to explain there was nothing between her and Li Yan.

But Zhang Yurong had already regained her composure and didn't want to talk more, so she waved her hand, then turned to Yue Yao and said: "Yue Yao, let's go back!"

Yue Yao nodded, hung up the phone, and accompanied her out. She didn't know how to comfort her.

Wen Qianyi stood there for a while, then laughed bitterly and walked away alone.

...

Li Yan, who had been watching everything from a distance, sat against the wall. He had seen the whole situation unfold with his own eyes; they had quarreled! Originally, he wanted them to have a good time, but it ended on bad terms. And this was without Hai Fu and Huang Ying; otherwise, it could have been worse.

He couldn't hear what they were saying, only guessing. But later, when Yue Yao called him, because she was right next to them, she couldn't say much. She could only adjust her phone slightly to let him hear what they were saying.

The earlier words he couldn't hear, he only heard a piece from Yu Xiaodi later.

'Of course, it's wrong to take someone else's man, but if a man loves her wholeheartedly and the woman herself doesn't cherish it, who's to blame? Hmph! Don't think I don't know that in your eyes, Li Yan is just a poor little employee, unworthy of you powerful women! I like him, I think he's great, and I won't let you trample over him!'

These words struck his heart heavily. He understood well that they hadn't trampled on him, but tonight, he had hurt them!

Xiaodi, why do you have to go through this!

Her persistence moved Li Yan even more, making him feel that not being with her and treating her well would truly be letting her down.

But emotions are not all about being moved! Zhang Yurong, because of their tied identity and shared living, developed feelings due to responsibility; Wen Qianyi left a great impression from their first meeting, and after meeting again that night, she felt even better. Their interactions afterward were always pleasant, how could he not care? Hai Fu and Huang Ying each had their own situations...

Taking a heavy breath, Li Yan pulled out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

Undoubtedly, tonight was a moment of madness for him, and the consequences were within his expectations, even less severe than he had envisioned.

Tonight, he proved one thing, relying on secrecy and time gaps, even if one can maintain multiple relationships simultaneously, it is very unfair to them and extremely taxing for himself.

It also proved that time, age, and identity are not the main factors in relationships. The key is whether the heart is invested! If the heart is not invested, they can feel it!

...

The phone had stopped vibrating. Earlier, everyone wanted to call him, but now no one was calling him. Hai Fu and Huang Ying had already left. After the confrontation just now, what good feelings could they still have toward him?

The audience outside had mostly left, and the surroundings became very quiet. Li Yan felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. The only thing in front of him was the smoke rings.

"Li Yan? Why are you still here?" A voice sounded a few meters away.

Li Yan looked up; it was Li Jie, and she was alone, still limping on one leg. He initially didn't want to bother with it, but seeing her limping over, he had no choice but to stand up and walk over himself.

"Hehe, I am... waiting for you!" Li Yan smiled, not wanting her to see his loneliness. He also couldn't tell her the truth. Whether or not she would gloat, she would definitely stand up for Yu Xiaodi.

Li Jie was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, then shook her head and said coolly in a low voice, "Thank you."

"Nian Yufei and the others left?"

"Yeah, Elder Mu took everyone else to escort her back to the hotel. In my current state... hmph, how can I protect anyone? I'm afraid of dragging people down." Li Jie said self-mockingly.

"I knew they'd let you go to the hospital alone, come on, I'll take you." Li Yan went over to support her.

"You came with Xiaodi, right? Has she gone back?"

"Yeah." Li Yan didn't want to say more because now thinking about Xiaodi made him feel guilty toward her, and the same with others. To avoid dwelling on such negative emotions, he decided to calm down first and accompany Li Jie to the hospital, not thinking about anything else for now.

Li Jie's leg was injured, both thigh and calf were hurt, and walking was painful. Even with Li Yan's support, she still needed assistance to walk.

She seemed indifferent, but her walking speed showed her discomfort. Li Yan moved to stand in front of her and squatted down. "Walking like this is too slow, let me carry you!"

"Huh?… Isn't this inappropriate?" Li Jie was a bit embarrassed. In the area she was most confident—her physical prowess—she had to rely on Li Yan's help, which already felt like a defeat. Having him carry her was even more of a blow.

"Come on! I know you're skilled, you're an awesome bodyguard, you think if I carry you, you can't show your face anymore... but you're injured now, walking hurts, and it's exhausting which might even lead to more bleeding. What you need is just treatment. If your leg becomes useless or leaves complications, then you really don't need to show your face anymore!"

Li Yan needed something to do so that he wouldn't overthink.

"Then... okay. But don't tell Xiaodi..."

Mentioning her again... Li Yan said helplessly, "Everyone's surname is Li, just consider me your brother. You're injured, and I'm just carrying you to the parking lot, what's there to avoid?"

Li Jie couldn't help but mutter secretly: There are over a hundred million people with the surname Li in the world, why should you be my brother...

Seeing Li Yan's sincerity and that he wasn't making fun of her, plus she really wanted to rest a bit, she leaned onto him, letting him carry her. "Be careful not to touch my wound..."

Li Yan lifted her up and supported her. The healthy leg naturally could be supported by the thigh, but since the injured one had injuries both above and below, he could only hook her leg, though it might pull the wounds. Helplessly, he moved his support a bit upward, holding her beneath her hips.

Being carried by a man was a very subtle thing for Li Jie. Only her father had carried her as a child. Since starting martial arts, the discipline had been strict, with no allowances for a little girl's coquettishness. Li Yan's carrying triggered distant childhood memories for her, and she closed her eyes to take a peaceful rest. (Two chapters yesterday, three today, can we do four tomorrow?
