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

I thought it would be two more days before I could see him, but I didn’t want him to appear in front of me as soon as I opened my eyes. It was a feeling of surprise that was unimaginable.
Jerry Xiao brought out the Chinese medicine and handed it to Zoey. The pungent smell was still a bit hard for Zoey to accept, but she closed her eyes and drank it down obediently.
The warm medicine, crossing her stomach and intestines, she surprisingly did not feel bitter anymore, but instead had an indescribable sweet taste.

Outside the window, the night was deep. The moonlight shines through the curtain and shines into the hall. He still had some work in hand, so he sat in the hall and continued to work. Zoey also did not go anywhere, just stayed beside him, drew a book, and quietly looked at it.
The two glasses of red wine beside them glistened with a bright red luster in the light. In the hall, because of the close proximity to each other, it was as if even the light became soft and cozy.
Jerry Xiao was wrapping up his final work without any distractions, and beside him was the sound of even, shallow breathing. Slightly sideways glance, only to see Zoey has embraced the book shallow sleep, her head leaning on his shoulder, long eyelashes down, in the eyes reflected a shadow. jerry Xiao slightly bent his head, his lower jaw on her forehead lightly against the rubbing to feel her body temperature.
Such an atmosphere was so good that he was almost addicted to it once again. This feeling of being in love really scared him from the bottom of his heart, desperately trying to resist, but every time it was like a magnetic field sucking him in, in turn drawing him closer.
Everything the Xiao Family has, sooner or later, she’ll have to take back from the Baker family. And when that happens, how will she react?
Jerry Xiao’s thin lips pursed tightly, and his gaze at the sleeping face became deep and complex, making it difficult for people to recognize. He suddenly closed the notebook on his lap, carefully held the back of her head with one hand, slowly stood up, bent down and picked her up from the sofa.
Zoey did not sleep very deeply, feeling the slight shaking, she wooed and opened her eyes in a blur. Eyes are still as clear as ever, but dense with a layer of gauze-like mist, squinting up lazily looking at him. After looking at him for a while, she opened her arms and hugged his neck, her small face pressed against Jerry Xiao’s chest.
He, for a moment, froze slightly. All he felt was the breath around him, all that warmth.
She was heard to mumble, “Still a little pain in my belly …”
That soft tone made the pity in Jerry Xiao’s heart explode at once. He lowered his eyes and fixedly locked onto the small face in his arms before saying, “Don’t take that kind of medicine in the future.”
“What if I don’t eat, what if I get pregnant?” Zoey murmured lazily.
“I’ll bring a condom.”
“Oh, and how come you didn’t bring it last time?” Seeming to fall asleep again, her voice grew softer and softer, as if from that deep sigh.
“Last time was an accident.” He frowned slightly and bent his head to gaze at her, dropping the words of certainty, “There will be no more accidents like that.”
Zoey didn’t make a sound in response anymore, just leaned back in his arms and seemed to fall asleep. Jerry Xiao carried her right into his bedroom, where she lay on the big bed, her hand subconsciously clutching the small of her back with a hard look on her face.
The medicine I drank at night didn’t seem to work that fast.
Jerry Xiao rummaged around the house and finally found a wine bottle. Filled it with boiling water and wrapped it in a dry towel, so it could only serve as a hot water bag for her for the time being.
“Here, hold it.” He gently gripped her slender wrist and shoved the hot bottle in her hand. She was confused, but did as instructed. Only when her palm touched the warm, soft towel did her fingers close and she held it firmly. The furrowed brow gradually relaxed with a look of contentment.
Jerry Xiao stood by the bedside, looking down at her. At the bottom of his heart, there is a kind of indescribable softness. Will body home clothing off, lifted the quilt drilled in.
The bottle, warm and hot, locked in the quilt. Jerry Xiao probed his arm, and carried her beside him, over to him, and rested on the crook of his arm. She contentedly leaned against his chest, once again fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night …
Zoey woke up from the heat. The heat emanating from the thing cradled on the small of his back was not the source, but …
Wet and slippery tongue, constantly traveling on her body. From the forehead, to the lips, to the neck … and then gradually continue down …
The pajamas on her body have been torn open haphazardly. The man’s kisses, then gently fell on her chest, gently kissed, heavy sucking. Zoey confused by the heat to wake up, the heart is even more hot and difficult to rest.
She opened her misted eyes slightly to see him lying on top of her, panting heavily. Seemingly aware that Zoey was awake, he lifted his head from the covers, his forehead already dripping with hot sweat. Those deep pupils shone with lust and desire like a wild animal, making one look at him with fear and trembling.
The sensation underneath her body was still reminding Zoeyof the inconvenience she was now experiencing. She then did not dare to respond to him, tense her body tightly, only afraid to provoke his deeper interest. He crawled up, biting her soft lips, and the obvious heat underneath rubbed back and forth against her softness through the layers of fabric that suppressed it.
Zoey’s breath came in sharp gasps as well, her small face flushed. Hearing his voice, so light it was like a seduction, lowered back to his ears with the slightest hint of an uncomfortable darkness, “Relax, I won’t want you …”
Zoey looks at him apologetically in pain, wraps one hand around his neck, goes to the crease in his brow, and whispers, “I’m sorry for making this so hard for you.”
He grunted in frustration, “It’s not like I’m an animal.”
He just wanted to kiss her like this, either as a comfort or as a benefit for not touching her these days abroad. In short, he felt that just kissing and kissing her all over her body, as he was doing right now, even if it was physically painful, it was exceptionally satisfying mentally.

When Jerry Xiao woke up early in the morning, Zoey was already up early and had breakfast ready.
“Washed up?” Zoey smiled slightly when she saw him come downstairs.
“Uh-huh.” He nodded. Glancing at her, “Why don’t you get some more sleep?”
“I’ve already slept all day yesterday. If I sleep any longer, I’m really going to turn into a pig.” Zoey held the bowl and scooped up a bowl of seafood congee and placed it in front of him, “Wait until it cools down for a while before you eat it.”
“Uh-huh.” Jerry Xiao faintly answered. The porridge she made was beautiful, the thin rice white with thin slices of freshly sliced fugu fish floating on top, and just looking at it made him feel an appetite. These days, while in England, he thought of her cooking more than once or twice.
He took a spoon and gave it a tentative taste. Sure enough, it was just as delicious as he thought it would be. “At noon, bring me a bento.” He didn’t look up, only lightly threw this down.
“Yeah, but on one condition.” Zoey sat down across from him and looked squarely at Jerry Xiao.
Only then did he look up at her, “What are the terms?”
“When you’re done with this period of time, take a good rest and recuperate your body. Go abroad to find the most authoritative doctor to take a look.” Watching his face gradually sink, she added, “I’ll accompany you.”
“No need.” He pursed his lips and threw down just those three words.
Zoey frowned and looked at him seriously, counseling, “Jerry, you can’t be afraid of hospitals just because you’re sick. Hospitals aren’t as scary as you think; they’re places that save lives and solve your pain.”
“What if, at all, they can’t work it out?” He looked at her, his gaze sullen, a darkness coursing through it.
Zoey froze.
“Have you … been to see it yet?”
“Uh-huh.” He faintly answered, and the next words that came out were even more cloudy, as if he was talking about someone else’s business, “There’s no salvation for the time being, and we can only use medication to control the condition.”
Zoey’s heart screwed up and she huffed.
The more he cared, the harder it was for her. The thought that Nini, too, could face such pain at any time, or that her life could be in danger at any time, made Zoey’s heart twist into a knot, making it difficult for her to rest.
The little one wasn’t as bad as he was, and the number of seizures she had was only that one, but what about the future? Who knows what the future holds?
Zoey looked at him, “What did the doctor say?”
“Medication was prescribed to control the condition for two years without further deterioration. As for two years from now …,” he raised his eyes and looked at Zoey , “it’s up to God.”
Zoey paused for a moment, and then, smiled faintly, hiding the tears in the corners of her eyes, “God favors optimistic people. So, you can’t give up hope. In the future, be good to yourself, change those bad habits, and cooperate with the doctor to take medicine.”
A smile lifted under her eyes and her eyes twinkled slightly as she looked at him seriously, “I’ll monitor you.”
Jerry Xiao looked at her deeply, that smile, gently and softly rippled into the bottom of his heart. Like a feather fan, a little bit, a little bit, brush away the haze in his heart.
Maybe he could actually try to be optimistic?

At noon, when Zoey came to the company to deliver the lunchbox, there were still a few of her former colleagues there. After several times of speculation and observation, everyone had already been unaware of the ambiguity between Zoey and their president. In the newspaper, Zoey and her brother’s affair, everyone has not forgotten, but no one dares to mention it again.
When Zoey brought the lunchbox into the office, Ah Fung was talking to Jerry Xiao about the bidding of the project. When he saw Zoey come in, they stopped. Ah Feng smiled faintly at Zoey, “I’ll go out first.”
“Let’s eat together, I brought two specially.” . “No need, I won’t bother you and the president.” When Ah Feng passed by Zoey, he thought of something and laughed, “Luckily, thanks to Secretary Baker’s illness, the president rushed back, the burden on my shoulders was lifted, and it was much easier.”
“No need, don’t bother you and the president.” When Ah Feng passed by Zoey, he thought of something and laughed, “Luckily, thanks to Secretary Baker’s illness, the president rushed back, the burden on my shoulders was lifted, and it was much easier.”
Uh …
Zoey froze for a moment at Feng’s words. Just now, did she hear it wrong? She subconsciously looked at Jerry Xiao who was sitting on the sofa, only to see the slightest hint of embarrassment flickering on Jerry Xiao’s face as he glared at Ah Feng, “I think you’re too relaxed.”
Ah Feng smiled lightly, glanced at Zoey and exited. Zoey and Jerry Xiao were the only two left in the large office at once, he coughed lightly and patted the seat beside him, “Come and sit.”
