Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

It seems that because she has a point, he pursed his lips and did not say anything, but the hand under the blanket was heavier, holding her hand firmly. A small gesture that seems to have dependence and trust.
Zoey’s heart was mixed for a moment, did not say more, just patted the leg, “Do you want to lie down, I will help you press the head. The doctor said that this will be much more comfortable.”
He lies down on his side and Zoey gently massages him. He doesn’t open his eyes, just his brow soothes a bit.
“You know a lot about WIID disorder?” He suddenly asked her.
Zoey froze for a moment, “I specifically consulted my doctor …”
Not only because of Nini, but also because of him …
He hummed lightly, “You’re this good to anyone?”
Zoey pursed her lips. Half a minute before whispering, “No.”
No?
So, why to him …
Jerry Xiao did not continue to ask further questions, but only slightly sideways, looking for a more comfortable position, closed his eyes and quietly sleep.
Zoey looked down deeply at his quiet sleeping face, soft fingers, greedily tracing each of his features.
She also closed her eyes lightly, leaned back in her chair, and fell into a quiet sleep.
The plane flew smoothly in the air. The clear sunlight penetrated the clouds and was cast in through the window, warmly puffing on the two.
There is an indescribable warmth in the atmosphere.
It wasn’t until the radio came on that Zoey woke up from her dream once again. He was on his lap, not yet awake. Still with his eyes closed, sleeping like a child.
She smiled lightly, her legs were a little sore, but she didn’t dare to move, afraid to wake him up.
Until the plane landed smoothly and outside the window was the unfamiliar country, Hakodate Airport in Hokkaido.
Jerry Xiao slowly woke up and looked at Zoey with confused eyes, before lifting the thin blanket and getting up. He just woke up, still a little lazy dazed look, the handsome features but a unique charming taste.
“Arrived?” The voice was dark and sexy.
“Yeah.” Zoey nodded and looked at him worriedly, “Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hotel first to rest for a while and move the arrangements for the night?”
“No need.” He put away the blanket and pressed his brow. There, there was still some hidden pain, but it was much better than just now.
Knowing his nature, Zoey didn’t try to persuade him anymore and just got up to get her luggage from the luggage rack. The luggage rack is very high, she had to put up her toes to reach it, so she could not easily touch her bag, a hot behind, his breath came up, his palm has come over to smoothly take down her bag.
Her heart beat faster, she reached out to take it, but he was already carrying it and turned around to look out of the cabin. Looking at the tall back, Zoey smiled lightly. When Feng passed by, he looked at her with an amused smile, “Hurry up and follow.”
Thinking of the way he and Jerry Xiao were clinging to each other just now, being watched by everyone, Zoey gave a secret whimper and followed with a red face.

As she exited the cabin door, a strong blast of cold air greeted her. Zoey shivered and hugged herself tightly, but Jerry Xiao glanced back at her and tossed her coat to her without a word.
With a warmth in her hand, Zoey glanced up at him in surprise to hear his almost commanding tone, “Put it on.”
He took off his coat and was left with a thin knitted shirt. Zoey shook her head, “Wear it yourself, it’s going to snow outside later.”
“You didn’t even bring your jacket?” Jerry Xiao looked askance at her, did not make a move to pick up the clothes, only nodded his lower jaw, again gestured: “Put it on, do not delay the business because you have a cold. There will be more scripts to follow in the next few days.”
At his insistence, Zoey had no choice but to wear it.
The warmth of it enveloped her, like his arms around her. After a deep stare at the side of his face, Zoey followed him quietly, her lips curving sweetly at the corners.
No matter what kind of heart he has to care for himself, this moment, she feels satisfied.

Zoey took off her jacket to give it back to Jerry Xiao and subconsciously went to the car behind her.
But Feng spoke up, “Secretary Baker, you just take the front car, we’ll just sit in the back.”
Huh?
Zoey subconsciously glanced at Jerry Xiao, who did not nod, but also did not refuse Feng’s offer, just bent over and got into the car.
He acquiesced, and Zoey followed him to the car with his coat in her arms.

Zoey could not understand Japanese and was bored looking out the window.
At this season, it is still a cold winter here. The trees along the street are still dangling with snowflakes, which looks especially dreamy.
Zoey leaned out of the car window, watching with the longing of a young girl. She didn’t even notice that the conversation aside had stopped.
She looked out the window, and Jerry Xiao gazed at her, slightly lost in thought.
Zoey packed up her things and looked out through the hotel’s large floor-to-ceiling windows at the snow-capped mountains, feeling a sense of relief.
Jerry Xiao was in the next few rooms not far from him, and Zoey’s heart flushed with sweetness when she thought of the fluttering of their hands on the plane today.
The schedule for the next few days was not really that tight for her because she didn’t know Japanese. Perhaps, some time could be found to go out for a stroll on her own.
It seems that she should go out and buy a Japanese dictionary so that she can use it at any time.
With this in mind, Zoey quickly turned over a jacket to wrap herself up and walked out of the hotel with her bag. It was still early for good night anyway.
Luckily, there was a bookstore right in the hotel. She searched for half a day before she found the dictionary and reached out for it, but a pair of hands landed on it at the same time.
She raised her eyes in surprise, saw the man, and smiled all at once.
“Zoey ?!” Surprise flashed in the pretty peach blossom eyes.
“Why are you here too?” Zoey looked at Sea Gu.
Before Sea Gu could answer, a pretty woman leaned up, looked at Zoey for a second, and alertly wrapped her arms around Ingram, “Ingram, you can meet a pretty girl even when you’re buying a dictionary?”
Looking at Zoey’s intrigued look, Sea Gu was a little uncomfortable. He quickly pushed the woman away, looked at Zoey again, and yelled at the woman, “Eh, you get out of the way! Whoever you came with, go to whoever. Go go go, I’m not short of women here …”
The woman looked aggrieved and resigned, stomped her feet, glared at Zoey and walked away.
Zoey snatched the dictionary from Sea Gu’s hand, leaned against the bookshelf and looked at him with a smile, “Bringing your girlfriend here to the spa?”
“Ch, what girlfriend, that’s the woman brought by the gang of brothers. Come to Japan, I do not lack of women, but also have to take the trouble to fly over?”
Zoey smiled cheerfully and looked at him seriously picking at the dictionary, “You don’t know Japanese either?”
“I’m Chinese, why do I need to speak Japanese?” Sea Gu gave her an unimpressed look, “But you, what are you doing here? On vacation?”
“I’m on a business trip. I really didn’t expect to meet you here. This is too much of a coincidence!” Zoey was surprised. Zoey was incredulous, and Sea Gu laughed, “Do you know what fate means? This is it! You and Jerry Xiao came together?”
“Yeah.” Zoey nods. Zoey nodded, and Sea Gu skimmed her lips as she thought of something and asked, “Does he know you’re having a baby?” .
Zoey was stunned for a moment and immediately shook her head, Sea Gu nodded in understanding, “It seems you don’t want him to know.”
“Ingram, let’s go! Pack up and take a dip in the hot springs!” Someone yelled from over there.
“Got it! You guys go ahead.” Sea Gu waved his hand, perfunctory to them. Looking at Zoey , “Come on, join us for a soak in the hot springs and dinner.”
Zoey thought about it for a moment. She had a dinner with the group, but it wasn’t official, and she didn’t know Japanese, so she was just a boring sidekick, so it was better to eat with Sea Gu.
With that in mind, I agreed to do so.
Sea Gu smilingly held two dictionaries and immediately went to pay for them, asking her, “Which room are you staying in? Take these things first and put them in the room.”
Zoey led him there. It is indeed a kindred spirit to meet an old friend in another country.
The two laughed and laughed as they walked to the door of the room, only to see Jerry Xiao standing in the doorway, making a phone call from his cell phone. the cell phone in Zoey’s bag immediately rang. She hurriedly went through her bag, but Jerry Xiao had already heard the sound of the phone and turned his head.
Seeing her, and Sea Gu beside her, Jerry Xiao’s expression sank slightly.
“Mr. Xiao.” Sea Gu hangs back and greets Jerry Xiao.
“What a coincidence.” He looked unchanged.
“No coincidence. I’m here for her.” Sea Gu smiles and hooks his hand around Zoey’s neck, who whimpers and struggles and pushes him hard, but he doesn’t let go and gets into a fight with her.
This scene, reflected in Jerry Xiao’s eyes, simply became a flirtation between lovers.
With the words of Sea Gu, Jerry Xiao felt that these two people were clearly on vacation while on business!
With incredibly dark eyes, he stared at them and coldly reminded Zoey : “Secretary Baker, it’s almost time for dinner. Pack up, we should go!”
“I was just about to talk to you about that.” Zoey stopped heckling Sea Gu and righted herself, “I’ll skip dinner tonight, I don’t understand Japanese and I’m just sitting there as a sidekick, so …”
“So, you have an appointment with Ingram?” Jerry Xiao cut her words off impatiently.
Zoey nodded honestly, wondering why he looked like he was going to be angry. There was no need for himself at all for the evening party, was there?
Sea Gu laughed, not knowing if it was intentional or not, and asked Zoey: “Hey, did you bring your swimsuit? You can’t wear this to the hot spring later, can you?”
Zoey scowled at him and told him to shut up. After all, it’s not something you can talk about in front of the president when you’ve put off the company dinner to go to the spa!
But Sea Gu is addicted to it. As if she couldn’t read Zoey’s hint, she continued: “Don’t worry, you’re just a vase at the dinner anyway, no, it’s not even appropriate for you to be a vase with a Japanese woman. Mr. Xiao has always been generous, not so much as to leave you behind and not let you go on a date, right?”
Dating?
This man! The more you describe it, the darker it gets!
Zoey just felt the cold chill around her body, peeked at Jerry Xiao’s face, only to see that his face was so dark that it was almost floating ice cream.
Jerry Xiao finally spoke coldly, “Go ahead, you won’t be needed tonight!”
After saying that, Jerry Xiao turned around and left.
Only a stiff back was left. This woman is really good! How dare she not even forget to come out and fall in love when she’s working!!!
Jerry Xiao does not know why his chest rolls and tumbles, like being burned by something unpleasant …
