The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Li Yan reached over to brush her hands away, then turned over and lay down, grabbing a cigarette from the bedside.

While lighting the cigarette, he also chuckled inwardly at his own hypocrisy. Even in such circumstances, he had the mood to recommend himself for a massage at the guest room department, wasn't it just because there was no business and he wanted to make some money? Speaking of making money, being massaged is certainly better than massaging others, both easier and more lucrative.

Li Yan hadn't finished smoking the cigarette when he heard a sound at the door, and he immediately opened his eyes. He remembered there were two people who could open the door and come in — it could be the cleaner or Zhang Yurong!

At this thought, Li Yan quickly threw the blanket over the girl and hid her.

...

"You're quite right; our security assisted the police in multiple raids, and we caught a person holding a bag of white powder near the central air conditioning. Unfortunately..." Zhang Yurong frowned slightly, "he's an employee of our hotel. He was off today, so no one knew he was hiding there for half a day. He confessed that a foreign guest gave him 1,000 to wait for a call to put the powder into the fan. He had been there since the afternoon, unaware of the major incident happening, and just thought the foreigner was trying to cause trouble."

Her usual coldness made Li Yan rarely pay attention to her, nor did he have many chances to touch her. But at this moment, every part of Zhang Yurong seemed so seductive in Li Yan's eyes.

"Truly a modern-day traitor!"

"The foreigner who paid him has also been found on the rooftop. Strangely, he was already knocked out, and the police say it was done by someone with exceptional skills," Zhang Yurong said, unable to resist glancing at Li Yan.

"Ha! That was indeed fortunate. Do the police suspect that there's another expert hiding in the hotel, or do they suspect the foreigner abandoned his positions to protect himself?" Li Yan managed to say.

"Abandoned positions to protect himself?" Zhang Yurong frowned, thinking, and couldn't help but walk a few steps closer. "Are you saying someone realized the police's actions, afraid more would be exposed, and deliberately threw out someone unimportant as a decoy?"

"It could be because he's not important, or perhaps because his background is cleaner..."

"What you say makes sense, I will react accordingly. The experts from the research institute have begun examining the samples, and more have been sent back for detailed analysis, which will probably yield results by tomorrow. The hotel will continue checking, and it remains sealed off."

After finishing her report, Zhang Yurong noticed Li Yan's gaze on her was a bit terrifying, almost as if he wanted to see through her, and his pupils seemed to carry a flame... this made her heart skip a beat, and she quickly turned her head to avoid his gaze.

Having known her for months or, arguably, as long as he had been married, Li Yan had always seen her as a formidable CEO. But now, he wasn't sure if his preconceived notions were deceiving him as he actually noticed a hint of girlish panic in his ice-cold beauty wife.

Without speaking, Zhang Yurong had already heard a strange, faint sound coming from under Li Yan's stomach blanket. Seeing his eyes change to something unusual, she couldn't help but feel worried and walked over, bending down to ask, "Are you okay?"

Li Yan grit his teeth and said, "My stomach is uncomfortable... please go out first, I need to use the bathroom..."

"Are you really okay?" Zhang Yurong was still a bit worried.

Seeing Li Yan seemingly about to get up immediately, Zhang Yurong hurriedly said, "I'll... I'll leave first... you stay here and rest. I'll call you on the internal line later..." She said and quickly left the bedroom, then the sound of footsteps opened the door and she left.

The next morning, Li Yan was woken by an internal line call from Zhang Yurong. After tidying up, he went to the room next door on the same floor, where two breakfasts had already been delivered in the suite.

It was the first time the two were eating alone outside together, even though it was just breakfast and delivered to the room. But still, it was slightly different from usual.

"Is your body okay?"

Although Zhang Yurong's tone was cold, it was a concerned question. Considering her worried demeanor last night, Li Yan felt a bit moved. "I'm fine."

"The examination results from the research institute here show that the powder does not contain anthrax, but there are infectious viruses. It's yet to be confirmed, waiting for detailed results from the research institute. As of now, both individuals have been isolated. The hotel continues to be sealed and observed, and air and water will continue to be tested. Later, they will take blood and saliva samples from everyone." Zhang Yurong rapidly gave a brief of the current situation, almost like a report.

"Oh, I wonder how long it will take? I can't go to work today."

Zhang Yurong replied coldly, "Mobile and wireless networks remain blocked. The network and landlines are under control. Later, I'll connect for you, and you can find a reason to request leave."

She could contact the outside. Given the circumstances, as the CEO, she could have just mentioned it casually. However, she obviously didn't let headquarters know she and Li Yan were caught up together.

"Alright, having food and drink here without having to work sounds great." Li Yan agreed happily.
