The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Chen Aiyuan is under investigation!

He was confined alone in a pitch-black room, not allowed to see a sliver of light, nor a shadow of a person, only hearing the voice of Duan Haibo. Following Li Yan's instructions, Duan Haibo did not directly act, but first narrated the methods of coercion in the dark.

In times of peace, torture methods are rarely seen, not even in films, and can only be imagined through novels. In an age that worships money, how can a person who focuses on making and accumulating wealth possess any perseverance?

Trapped in darkness for a long time, Chen Aiyuan, whose inner turmoil had been suppressed, listened to the chilling voice narrating the severe means of coercion. It felt as if many eyes were staring at him, filled with an aura of slaughter. He had no doubt that the person speaking in the darkness would truly employ those methods.

Consequently, before Duan Haibo made any actual moves—or even before finishing the explanation of all tactics—Chen Aiyuan had already collapsed. He was only in it for the money; if he were ruined, what was the point of having a fortune? Preserving one's green hills means you don't fear the lack of firewood.

His frank confession was recorded as evidence. And he himself demanded to do two things: First, to candidly confess all acts of betrayal and selling out the company to the CEO; second, to hand over the income obtained from selling out the company. If accomplished, he would be allowed to resign voluntarily, with all evidence kept secret without legal prosecution.

In the darkness, Chen Aiyuan had been thoroughly frightened by those coercive methods like "piercing the eye with a syringe" or "cutting flesh with a small saw blade". The unseen yet palpable danger was most terrifying. For him, saving his life and ensuring his body remained unharmed was the luckiest outcome. Although reason told him the other party was just scaring him and wouldn't really take his life; his feelings told him the unseen person in the darkness—though only one voice was heard, he felt there were many people pressing him—if they intended to kill him, they absolutely dared to do so!

To leave such a pitch-black place, escape this groundless, suspended state, even if it meant losing everything, even resigning, it was worth it. And not making the evidence public gave him a glimmer of hope, keeping him from a dead end.

So he obediently handed over a bank card with most of his cash and the password. Of course, this wasn't all his assets; apart from some change, he still had some invested, which he wouldn't liquidate now. The amount he handed over was nearly consistent with the income he admitted acquiring from selling out the company. According to his confession, over the years, although he sold company information multiple times through various means, the prices were not fixed, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Of course, now only over a million was recoverable, which pales compared to the company's losses.

Yet the past losses were already losses, and in business it's like warfare; this small tactic's loss was insignificant for Paradise Group, otherwise it would have been uncovered long ago. Li Yan wanted him to cough it up solely as personal punishment. This money could not be returned to Zhang Yurong or the company and could only be transferred to his own account first.

...

The whole process only took a few hours, once Chen Aiyuan handed over the money and agreed, Li Yan, having recording evidence, instructed Duan Haibo to release him. He expected Chen Aiyuan would definitely not show up at the company but would immediately hide. However, this was no longer an important matter.

After completing the task, the two went out to drink. For tonight's operation, Duan Haibo was not at all satisfied; he thought he was helping Li Yan do something big, but ended up just abducting someone as a helper, narrating coercion methods without even having to act, which left him quite annoyed.

Li Yan, on the other hand, was quite satisfied. If he had acted himself, there was an even better way to make Chen Aiyuan completely honest: controlling him through 'Heart Demon'!

But that was Li Yan's private secret; even Queen, or Guan Ziyi, Yu Mocheng, Zheng Yixuan, and others were unaware of it. Although it had the side effect of potentially harming himself, it was a lifesaver at crucial moments! The deeper it was concealed, the more effective it was; typically, those he'd used 'Heart Demon' on were already dead! Only the dead can best keep a secret, likewise, only the dead wouldn't be hypnotized or have memories unearthed by psychologists.

And for Chen Aiyuan, he didn't want to resolve it by killing, so Duan Haibo's threat was effective and best.

Duan Haibo didn't require any compensation from Li Yan; after drinking and chatting joyfully, they parted ways and returned home. Both were married men, returning home late is never good.

When Li Yan got home, it was almost midnight. He noticed the light in Zhang Yurong's office was still on, so he went over.

Opening the door he saw Zhang Yurong, having showered and changed into sleepwear, lying sideways on the office's large sofa with soft music playing. It seemed she had much work unfinished and wanted a brief rest before resuming.

Li Yan quietly approached, crouching before Zhang Yurong, intending to convince her to go to her room to sleep, as work is endless.

Just as he was about to speak, he found himself speechless, captivated by the allure of the Sleeping Beauty. She had one arm bent under her head, her slender body curled like a bow. Her radiant pink face lay before him, with Yurong asleep, devoid of the imposing demeanor of a CEO or the icy elegance of an ice beauty, only displaying a peacey beauty that one hesitates to disturb.

Although Li Yan had been in close contact with her—having carried her—but had never admired her from such proximity and comfort, so much so that his intended call naturally paused, leaving him to simply admire the peerless beauty before him. Her skin was like snow illuminated by frost, akin to white jade, inviting touch though fearing to offend the beauty; her soft brows slightly curved, lashes lightly covering, despite her lively eyes closed, an air of elegance was hard to conceal; beneath the delicate nose were pink cherry lips without lipstick or gloss, purely natural yet exuding an even more alluring charm…

So close, just within reach!

At this moment, Li Yan had forgotten where he was, forgotten the time and the future. The only thing he wished for was to be able to kiss Yurong, who was lying before him like a goddess or fairy in a dream, without leaving a trace.

However, he did not move closer. This short distance allowed him to admire her carefully, yet he was unwilling to desecrate or be abrupt. He did not know how long he had been gazing, but finally, his eyes moved along her neck to the side.

Yurong was lying on her side, already changed into pajamas. Her pajamas were not sexy at all, almost completely covering her body. Even from such a close distance, if he did not wish to disturb, he could see nothing of allure.

Of course, Li Yan had no such thoughts at the moment. Facing the delicate body in front of him, he caught a faint scent, like orchids or musk, in his nose. Was it the fragrance of her body wash?

Yes. And no.

The body wash's fragrance was indeed there, but beyond that, there was a faint, different aroma!

Perhaps it was real, or maybe it was psychological... Li Yan had no mind to investigate further. His gaze continued along the sleeping beauty's curled-up body, looking further aside.

Although her pajamas were conservative, almost covering her entire body more than the short skirt did, there was now the absence of shoes on her feet since she was lying sleeping on the sofa. Thus, beneath the pajama pants, a pair of exquisite, jade-like feet were presented before Li Yan!

Li Yan unhesitatingly moved his crouched body to the front of those jade-like feet. After bathing, her small feet were completely exposed without the cover of stockings, carrying the scent of the body wash.

Good background, good habits, and perhaps careful maintenance made her pair of jade-like feet without a hint of rough skin, tender as a baby's, white as milk, delicate and translucent, with faint veins visible under the skin, and the skin visibly smooth at a glance…

Li Yan had no foot fetish or particular fondness for feet, but seeing this pair of beautiful jade feet before him, though not as tiny as the famously lauded bound feet, but surpassing Jin Lian's, he couldn't help but feel the urge to cradle them and admire them closely.

Of course, thoughts are one thing, but if he really did so, it would probably frighten Yurong more than stealing a kiss from her would.

After admiring them for a long while, Li Yan restrained himself from moving his hands, occasionally glancing back at her face to ensure she didn't wake up and find him peeping at her feet, which would make everyone embarrassed.

"Yurong... Yurong..."

Returning to her front, Li Yan softly called her name twice, trying to awaken her.

He only heard Zhang Yurong hum softly, then her body shifted from being on her side to lying on her back. From her demeanor and breathing, it seemed as though she was still asleep.

People are always like this; just after falling asleep, they are easily awakened, but during the transition from light sleep to deep sleep, even if awakened, it's hard to open their eyes, and they feel even more drowsy.

Perhaps Yurong had been asleep for quite a while, and now it was just like this!

Li Yan stood up, no longer trying to wake her, but opened the office door and left.

Not long after, he returned and walked directly to the sofa, bent down, and reached his hand toward Zhang Yurong's body! (Falling out of the top ten, crying for monthly pass support!)
