Chapter 310 – A Coolness

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

“A blind date?” Zoey had forgotten about it and only remembered when he reminded her of it, she sat up and looked at him, ruffling the loose strands of hair around her cheeks, “I’m not going on a blind date with anyone, but … that’s what you’re getting mad at me for?”
Is he … angry? Or rather, jealous?
Because of this realization, Zoey’s heart struck a chord. In her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little more crystalline twinkle.
Looking at her like this, Jerry Xiao’s heart moved. Almost unable to resist imagining what kind of beauty she really was under the white shirt.
Her eyes tightened slightly, assailing into a thick undercurrent as he closed in on her, and she startled, breathing heavier but not backing away, her eyes seeming to be drawn to him, only able to stare fixedly at her.
“You’re not allowed to go on a blind date!” The overbearing words rang in her ears, and Zoey gasped heavily, her heart trembling as she asked in a shaky voice, “Why?”
In anticipation of what answer, she, well, knew …
His eyes narrowed, opened his lips, and took a bite on her red lips. Her gasp was swallowed inside his mouth, and then, backing away a little, she heard his voice was light and breathy, yet it hid a dominance that left no one with no way to refute it, “If I say it’s not allowed, then it’s not allowed, Zoey Baker, go on a blind date and try it!”
There is no expected answer, but … this answer, it seems that it is also not too far from the gap between what they want. Can not help it, show face, all of a sudden, smile open. Almost provocatively, raising a thin eyebrow, “But my mom must arrange it for me. I think I still can’t refuse their good intentions.”
He, frowned hard. This woman, clearly, was deliberately provoking his anger! It seemed that he should teach her a good lesson so that she would know who she really belonged to!
Opening her lips and sucking heavily on hers, she gasped and pushed him. Vainly worried that the children would wake up at any moment. Before she could get the words of refusal out of her mouth, she was suddenly lifted out from under the covers with a bend of his body.
Zoey was so surprised that she almost exclaimed in surprise, and for fear of disturbing the child, she hastily covered her lips and stared at him with wide-eyed amazement.
“Hey … put me down.” She was carried out of the room before she tugged at the collar of his robe in protest. She was only wearing his shirt all over her body, it was fine if she wasn’t hugged up, at least she was covered up underneath. But now that she was being picked up by him, her pale, smooth legs were dangling over his arms, and it just made Zoey blush.
“Do you still want to go on a blind date?” He asked her with a stern face, but with no intention of letting her down.
Tonight, he had already made up his mind to punish her properly, so naturally, he took her words for granted.
Besides, he had long wanted to carry on what he had not accomplished in the study this afternoon. The two little devils had fallen asleep, and there was no one to disturb them.
This time, he would never let go!
When she heard him ask, the smile on Zoey’s face widened, and she buried her face in his arms, smiling lightly, “I never intended to go on a blind date.”
He picked his lips, a faint smile surfacing on his handsome face. Kicking open the bedroom door, in the next instant, he lowered her entire body onto the bed. Without waiting for Zoeyto say anything more, he bent his head down and pinned her whole body down.
The pair of deep pupils of the eyes stared straight at her, glittering like a wild beast, burning with eager light. Zoey heart jumped, her hand curled, and was clasped by him with force. Following … his fervent kisses imprinted down in a loose manner.

Inside the room, I do not know how long, the air, only a charming …

The night, deepening. It was a night so beautiful that even the moon smiled.
They held each other close, and she, serenely, fell asleep in his arms.
Thought …
A night of peace and quiet. But to their surprise, the shrill ringing of the phone woke them up.
The shrill voices, on such a beautiful night, seemed to grow louder and louder, and Zoey gave an uneasy cry, frowning shallowly in his arms. He immediately woke up, hurriedly turned to his side, and fished the cell phone up. I wanted to press off without hesitation, but when I saw the number displayed on the screen, my fingers paused for a moment …
Why did Nabi Yan call herself so late at night? Is something wrong?
Zoey slowly opened her eyes and looked up from between his arms, looking at his slightly furrowed brow and asking softly, “What’s wrong?”
“You sleep a little longer, I’ll take a call.” There was an indescribable softness to her sleepy face that made him incredibly soft along with the strings of his heart. Gently patting her small face, signaling her to sleep on, she cooed softly and retreated back under the covers.
Jerry Xiao then lifted the quilt and gently got up. Leaving her nest, although just a few seconds, the heart has an unspeakable feeling, empty. Good thing, the breath, all belong to her flavor …
The call, which lasted a mere two minutes, he hung up and pushed his way in from the terrace.
As if she could sense his mood, Zoey woke up in a flash. Seeing him come in with a sullen, tense face, he opened the cupboard.
“What happened?” Zoey couldn’t sleep either and sat up clutching the covers.
He had already put on his shirt, and when he heard Zoey ask, he turned around, his eyes sullen, “Nabi, suicide!”
“What?!” Zoey just felt a ‘boom-‘ cut through the top of her head. The sweetness and lingering that had just been there swung away all of a sudden.
The hand that held the quilt shook slightly. Zoey only felt a chill run through her heart.
It must have been that last time in the hospital that got her all worked up …
“I … will accompany you there.” She lifted the covers and slid off the bed. Fishing for the shirt on the floor, she haphazardly pulled it on.
“Don’t panic, you’ve been saved.” Seeing her face pale, Jerry Xiao comforted her.
Zoey still felt panicky inside, and she was afraid that if something really happened to Nabi, she would have a hard time feeling at ease. “I’ll go check on the kids. After I change my clothes, I’ll go out with you.”
With that, she went into the children’s room. The children didn’t wake up, so she had to leave a note at the children’s bedside that they could see once they woke up.

Jerry Xiao changed his clothes and went out with him. Late at night, it was still a bit cool outdoors, Jerry Xiao brought a jacket to drape over her shoulders.
His mood was always bad, his face tense, his hands gripping the steering wheel, his veins jumping. His mind was focused on the road ahead. Zoey wondered what he was thinking at the moment. What was he going to do if Nabi was going to die? Would he stay with Nabi, or …
She didn’t think any further, there were some things that she couldn’t change just by thinking about them …
When they get to the hospital, Zoey gets out of the car and subconsciously takes his jacket off and hands it to him. He stared, “Put it on!”
“If Nabi sees it …” she was a little worried. Nabi was a sensitive and delicate person and it seemed that she would be irritated again if she saw herself in Jerry’s jacket.
Jerry Xiao did not seem to care about this, just held her movements down, preventing her from taking her clothes off. Afterwards, he bent down, and then naturally held her hand firmly, and walked towards the hospital. Zoey looked at his big palm, and felt his body heat, the corner of her lips, slightly raised.
Is that, like, his choice?
The hospital in the early hours of the morning, clear and cold, not many people walking around. He always held her, familiarly entered the inpatient department VIP’s entire floor only Nabi Yan one person living, but, now but also still lively.
The sound of reprimand, accompanied by sobs, could be heard far from the ward.
“How do you work? Spending so much money to hire you guys, and you actually can’t even watch someone! Bunch of losers!” It was Yan’s mother’s voice, accompanied by her hurtful sobs. After that, it was the caretaker who softly explained, “Ms. Yan didn’t allow us to bathe her. When we heard the sound, we went in after ten minutes, how did we know … that this would happen …”
“If you’re not allowed to help, you won’t help? If anything happens to my daughter, can you take the blame?”
“…” The caretakers were completely dumbfounded.
Zoey glanced at Jerry Xiao and then went in with him side by side. As she entered, she glanced down at their clasped hands, her large palms slackening as she thought he was going to let go, but she didn’t want him to just grip them tighter.
lips, curving a nice arc, only to feel warmth within her heart’s nest as well. She curled her fingers as well, entwining them tightly with his large palm.
Yan’s mother saw them at once when the two men came in.
“Jerry, you finally came!” Almost as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she climbed onto Jerry Xiao’s arm, “You must help me persuade her properly, she listens to you in everything, only you can convince Nabi …”
