The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

"Haha, actually all of this is Xiaodi's mother's..." Yu Hong awkwardly coughed: "What I mean is, this mansion, luxury cars, workers, bodyguards, all belong to Xiaodi's mother... uh, her mother..."

Previously interrupted and misinterpreted by Yu Xiaodi once, hearing Yu Hong's words several times, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh, "What Mr. Yu wants to say is that these assets were actually earned by your wife."

"Yes. Xiaodi's mom is very capable, she founded and manages a large company. It's unrelated to me, she was doing very well before I became the CEO."

Li Yan nodded in understanding, of course it has nothing to do with you.

"In fact, I'm also here on the weekends." After explaining, Yu Hong began to discuss the serious matter: "I invited you today not only to thank you, but also to advise you to be cautious. The attempted kidnapping of Xiaodi was aimed at me, and the previous car crash that nearly caused an accident was likely planned. The first time you were present, the second time you also helped in the rescue..."

"So, I've already been implicated? You're the CEO, isn't there anything you can't handle? Fix it quickly and it won't be a problem, right?"

Yu Hong smiled slightly, "The CEO has powers and responsibilities, the matters I'm involved in aren't as simple as you imagine. Of course, I will handle it swiftly, but as for the effect, timing..."

At this point, Yu Hong changed the topic, seemingly inadvertently staring at Li Yan, revealing a piece of news: "Last night, deep into the night, a serious car accident occurred."

"What do you mean...?" Li Yan looked at him.

"This matter still hasn't been thoroughly investigated, although you're not my person, you helped Xiaodi several times, in the eyes of the others, you're undeniably one of us." Yu Hong said slowly.

Yu Hong seemed to be indicating that he had good fighting skills, but more likely, this was a half-true probe! In his heart, Yu Hong might suspect Li Yan as an enemy because the timing was too coincidental, the rescue too easy.

No matter his intentions, Li Yan directly expressed his thoughts: "Mr. Yu, I don't care what those people think, nor do I care about what you think, I just don't want to be further involved with you. The last time was because Yu Xiaodi said she could only contact me, she promised afterwards not to mention me to you. I agreed to come today because I wanted to make that clear, then each goes his own way, I'll block her number, won't see her again. As for whether the people who kidnapped her will seek revenge on me..."

Li Yan stared at him, "As long as I'm not with Yu Xiaodi, it'll be difficult for them to find me in a city of millions. The ones slightly knowledgeable about me, besides Yu Xiaodi, are your family's bodyguards. If the people involved in the car crash are indeed trying to find me, you might need to see if someone leaked my information."

This was his unspoken suspicion; can you find a person with no clues in such a large city within a day? Waiting for him on his return route, tracking him, clearly knowing which route he took, and what car he drove. The first time he wasn't driving, the second time those four people did not see the car, he drove Zhang Yurong's Mercedes.

Yu Hong quickly laughed, "No way, you're Xiaodi's benefactor, friend, she would never betray you. As for the other bodyguards, you can rest assured. I heard from Xiaodi that you seem to live near the Houhai Villa District; last night they crashed near Qingsong Town. It shouldn't be because they found you."

"Or maybe just after they left? Wouldn't finding me cause trouble?" Li Yan said coldly, placing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "Mr. Yu is a busy man, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"

Yu Hong nodded, "Have a proper chat with Xiaodi, she truly considers you a friend, if possible, there's no need to block her. I'll follow up on this matter."

…

As soon as Li Yan stepped out, he saw Yu Xiaodi eavesdropping at the door.

"How was it? What did you talk about so quickly?" Yu Xiaodi asked curiously.

Li Yan glanced at her, "Your dad said he likes me very much, wants me to be his son-in-law because he's afraid no one will want his daughter."

"You wish! That's not serious." Yu Xiaodi blushed, teasingly replied, then watched Li Yan walk towards the stairs, slightly sulky and quietly followed, whispering, "I heard everything."

"Perfect, saves me from saying it again."

"Are you afraid of my troubles... or afraid of troublesome me?"

"What trouble, it's all trouble." Li Yan paused, seriously said, "Don't look for me again, listen to your parents' arrangements, you won't be in danger anymore."

Yu Xiaodi was silent, though not long acquainted with Li Yan, compared even to friends known for years, he was a complete stranger, yet such a person made her feel dependable, someone she could trust, someone who appeared when her father couldn't protect her, in her time of need.

"I... really don't want to lose you as a friend. Had I known you'd react this way, I wouldn't have agreed with my dad. Arguing with him, at most, leads to a quarrel, but I won't lose him as my father." Yu Xiaodi said, looking down.

Li Yan touched his pocket, took out his wallet, opened it right in front of her, then pulled out all the hundred-yuan bills, counting and handing them to her.
