“Yes, I’ve also noticed it’s not ordinary. Some of its behaviors are like a naughty child,” An Zhang casually pulled out a tissue, wiping her face. “Sorry, I sprayed saliva on your face.” Carefully wiping her face, their eyes unexpectedly met.
Meeting his deep, burning gaze, Shi Xuan was stunned.
“I-I can do it myself,” her face suddenly hot, she anxiously tried to take the tissue.
“No, I’ll do it,” he refused to let go.
She lowered her eyelashes, feeling flustered, sensing his hand gently caressing her face. They were so close that they could hear each other’s heartbeats. Was the rapid beating her heart or his?
She couldn’t tell clearly, feeling awkward and wanting to lower her face, but suddenly her chin was lifted by his hand, forcing her to tilt her head back and look directly into his eyes. She was drawn into his deep gaze, and time seemed to stop in that instant.
The CEO, biting a rose, suddenly noticed this unusual silence, raising his azure eyes to look around, his tail playfully swaying. He suddenly leaped onto the coffee table, unexpectedly darting between the two, front paws raised high, perching on Shi Xuan’s shoulder, and licking her honey-colored cheek with a pink tongue tip.
“Stupid dog, what are you doing?!” An Zhang growled angrily, grabbing the intricately engraved silver collar around its neck and forcefully dragging it away from her.
Fine, he decided to tell Aunt Man not to feed it all day tomorrow for daring to lick her face!
“Woof woof woof woof…” The CEO protested his rough handling, baring teeth and struggling.
“Let it go, it looks like you’re hurting it,” Shi Xuan said, her heroic eyebrows furrowing as she pulled his hand away from the dog’s collar.
An Zhang’s rationality returned, “Sorry, did I hurt you? President.” His cold expression softened instantly, quickly releasing his grip and apologetically rubbing its head.
“Woof woof woof…” Ouch, it hurts. Ignoring An Zhang, the President crawled over pitifully, rubbing his head against Shi Xuan’s hand and whimpering.
Finding it just like a child, she laughed and petted its head soothingly: “Good boy, I’ll rub it for you, it won’t hurt.”
Squinting at the dog acting cute, An Zhang spoke softly, “I asked Aunt Man to prepare some late-night snacks. President, do you want to eat?”
“Woof woof…” Yes, I want to eat. The unsuspecting President excitedly looked up at him, immediately wagging his tail enthusiastically.
Without Shi Xuan translating, An Zhang could understand its meaning.
He said warmly, “Come with me, I’ll get it for you.”
The dog wagged its tail happily and followed.
Bringing a plate of delicious dishes from the kitchen, he placed the plate on a wooden table in the backyard. The President immediately jumped on the table, happily enjoying the delicious food, completely unaware that the back door had been locked. Only after quickly devouring the food did he realize he was locked outside, unable to get back inside.
“Woof woof woof…” Let me in. It scratched at the door with its front paws.
Shi Xuan had already returned to her second-floor room. An Zhang retreated to the kitchen, standing by the window, slightly opening a crack, his gentle voice carrying a chilling tone.
“Stay there and reflect. If you bark again and wake others, I promise Aunt Man will immediately slaughter you and cook you into meat.”
“Woof woof woof…” You’re a bad person. It barked angrily.
Seeing it so disobedient, An Zhang curled his lips, a terrifying cold smile spreading across his face.
“If you don’t shut up, I’ll have Aunt Man come. She loves eating dog meat.”
“Woof woof woof…” How dare you! Hmph, it wasn’t raised to be fooled.
Seeing it still dare to be arrogant, he spoke in a voice so gentle it was terrifying: “President, I’m not like Qin Luo, who fears dogs and is controlled by you. I’m not afraid of dogs at all. If you want to try, I don’t mind skinning a dog alive.”
As if to prove his words, he turned, a knife gleaming with cold light appearing in his hand.
“Woof…” Seeing the sharp blade, the President wisely lay down, “Whimper, whimper…” Crying pitifully.
“You’ll stay in the backyard and reflect today. Don’t make any sound.”
After leaving the threatening words, he returned to the living room. An Zhang saw the rose on the ground, torn to shreds, picked it up, and without hesitation, threw the withered flower into the trash, muttering, “Jin Yuanhao, if you dare have any inappropriate thoughts, you’ll end up very miserable.”
At this moment, the man staying in the hotel inexplicably shivered.
Xiang Mi, “Cunning CEO Jealous of Love” Chapter 6 “Are you blackmailing me?” “Actually proposing to get free police information for five years!”
“No, this is a transaction. If you’re not willing, I can’t force you,” Fang Xinlan’s confident tone carried a hint of laughter. “If this makes CEO An unhappy, then let’s pretend I never said anything.”
“Ms. Fang, you’re truly an exceptional talent, wasted in the police force. Would you be interested in working at my company? I promise to give you a suitable position to utilize your skills,” An Zhang’s warm tone was like chatting with a friend.
“Please call me Officer Fang,” she said happily. “CEO An is too kind. Compared to your intelligence and far-sightedness, I’m like an axe in front of Lu Ban, making you laugh.”
“How could that be? Officer Fang is praised by everyone in the police force. I truly admire your wisdom,” his voice was full of sincerity. “I’ll carefully consider the proposal you just made.”
She kindly reminded him, “Don’t take too long. I’m worried you’ll miss a good opportunity. Let me reveal something: this afternoon, Jin Yuanhao will head south to Kaohsiung with Shi Xuan, not returning for two days. He’s actively pursuing Shi Xuan. I believe CEO An understands the principle of being close to the water’s edge gets the moon first, right?”
“Thank you, I understand.” After hanging up, An Zhang’s smile faded. He tapped a pen on the documents on the desk. Five years? How could Fang Xinlan suggest such a thing? Was he the type to be easily manipulated?
He glanced at his watch, closed his eyes, and pondered.
Knock knock—
Hearing the knock, he paused before responding: “Come in.
“CEO, will you attend the Guangyi Enterprise’s ten-year anniversary cocktail party tomorrow?” Xie Manyue wore a pink suit that further highlighted her already delicate and fair skin.
“I’m busy. Have the business manager represent me.”
“Okay.” Standing before him, she hesitated before speaking again, “CEO, are you free on the evening of the fifth next month?”
“Next month?” He glanced at her carelessly. “Is there something?”
He tidied the documents on the desk and stood up.
She said shyly, “That day is my birthday. My family and some friends want to celebrate for me. I was wondering if it would be convenient to invite the CEO to join?”
“It’s your birthday,” he thought impatiently, already making plans so far in advance. Staring at her briefly, An Zhang smiled and said, “Go pick a gift at the Golden House Jewelry Store. I’ll cover the bill.”
Xie Manyue couldn’t hide her joy, sweetly saying, “Thank you, CEO.”
“No problem. I’m going out. The director will have Secretary Dong replace me in the meeting.”
“Yes.”
She joyfully turned and walked towards the door, suddenly feeling a cold glance behind her. Turning back puzzled, she saw An Zhang’s soft expression and secretly blamed herself for overthinking. She flashed an enchanting smile, stepped out of the office, her mind entirely focused on what kind of jewelry she would choose at the Golden House after work.
Seeing the owner return, the CEO still lazily lay on the sofa, showing no intention of welcoming him.
“CEO,” An Zhang’s tone was surprisingly gentle.
