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

By the time we arrived home, she was already asleep. Afraid of waking her up, Jerry Xiao gently carried her out of the carriage. She flapped her eyelashes and seemed to be awake, but she didn’t open her eyes, just leaned deeper into his arms.
His scent put her at ease … so much so that she didn’t even have to open her eyes …
“Daddy, Zoey!” Mrs. Zhan opened the door for them to come in, and the two kids came out from the back and yelled. Mrs. Zhan opened the door to let them come in, two hairy children from the back scurried out and yelled loudly. Jerry Xiao quickly than a ‘shh’ mouth, the two children immediately obediently covered their mouths, do not dare to make a sound.
Mrs. Zhan also softened her voice, “Quickly carry her up and let her have a good sleep. You don’t have to go to the company in the afternoon, stay with Zoey, although you can’t do anything, but she is at least comfortable in her heart.”
“I know, Mom.” Jerry Xiao nodded and carried Zoey up the stairs at a brisk pace.
Downstairs …
The two children looked up at Daddy and Mommy.
“Grandma, why did Zoey have to go to the hospital when she had her baby?” Nini tilted her head with a curious expression.
“Because Mommy wants to have a healthy little baby.” Mrs. Zhan didn’t know how to make it clear to the children and could only explain it this way.
“So can I ask Zoeyto have a boy?” KK asked. He couldn’t wait to escape Nini’s little clutches.
“What, KK doesn’t like little girls?”
“Girls give me a headache!” KK looked at Nini while rubbing his little forehead. obviously complaining that Nini was giving him a headache.
Nini hugged her chest and grunted heavily, “You’re just sexist! Just going to have another girl! Just going to give you a headache!”
The two children went back and forth, and Mrs. Zhan lost her smile. Why is it that the older they get, the more the two children like to argue?
“Okay, okay, stop it, daddy will be angry if he wakes up your mommy. Grandma made snacks for you guys, go eat first.” Mrs. Zhan pulled the children away.
Nini is a snacker. She immediately stopped her chattering and ran to the kitchen, and KK also stopped making noise and followed her to the kitchen. I’m so hungry!

It was a month later when I received another notice from the hospital. No doubt Jerry was still the escort this time. He drove her to the hospital and was stopped by Zoey when she entered the transplant room.
“Zoey!” Jerry Xiao frowned.
“Jerry, just stay here and wait for me, I can be out soon.” Zoey took his hand.
“You knew I’d be worried! How could you not go in with you?” Jerry Xiao grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
“I knew you’d be worried, you’re too nervous for me instead.” Zoey tried desperately to convince him.
He had to continue, and the doctor, who was standing off to the side watching the scene, had to speak up. “You’re all too nervous, it’s just a very small operation, you’ll be out in a while. Alright, alright, just wait outside.”
Eventually …
Jerry Xiao was left outside by Zoey. Knowing full well that she’s brave and will be able to handle it. But she was still nervous. A few minutes felt like centuries. I can’t imagine that Zoey could have waited patiently for her for a whole year under those circumstances.
That requires not only courage, but also great perseverance. He thought that just waiting like that and suffering like that alone would be worth spoiling her for the rest of his life. …
….
Zoey is lying on a single bed while the doctor prepares the instruments. The little nurse smiled and struck up a conversation with her, “Your husband is so good to you. In this society, it’s rare to see couples with such a good relationship. Looking at your profile, you’re the mother of two children, it’s hard to imagine that you guys can still act like you’re in love.”
At the mention of Jerry, the happiness in Zoey’s expression came out inadvertently.
Love? Indeed … what they are feeling now is no different from being in love, right? Will be like a small couple to go to the movies, shopping night market, eat snacks. Wherever they go, they are holding hands …
In fact, before they were married, separation after separation left them no time to fall in love. Now, married, so they began to fall in love with impunity.
They say that marriage and children dilute that passion of love. Perhaps, it is so. Only, after too much bombardment, they can no longer withstand any passionate impact, instead, it is the love of a long and thin stream of water, more suitable for them.
After marriage, they are lovers, lovers and relatives. The eternity of that kind of life being engraved on each other is enough for her to follow in life and death.
The operation went fairly quickly from start to finish, and Zoey lay there resting with her eyes closed. The door was opened and a figure came trotting in.
“Zoey!” .
“Shhh!” The nurse made a soft gesture on her lips, signaling him to keep his voice down, “Your wife still needs to rest, don’t disturb her.”
“Ohhhhhhhh, okay.” He hurriedly lowered his voice and only nodded repeatedly. Watching the paramedics push her inside the hospital room. The nurse explained, “Rest for a few hours, then you can go. The precautions are all written here, you guys go back and pay attention.”
“Okay, thanks.” Jerry Xiao takes the book and puts it on the bedside. Jerry Xiao reached out and held Zoey’s hand. Her hand was unusually cold, Jerry Xiao held it in his palm.
Zoey Lying on the hospital bed, a little groggy, thoughts are not clear, but still can clearly feel the compassion he gave himself. Fingers curled, holding his tightly, with him at his side, sleeping more and more peacefully and calmly …

The baby in her belly is growing up. In the past few months, Zoey has become a high-class protected animal in the family, and everyone has made her an offering, like an old Buddha. Even the two children are at her beck and call.
Jerry is even more exaggerated. Most of the company’s affairs were left to Ah Feng, only doing things that he had to handle. Within a few months, Ah Feng lost a circle of weight.
“I heard there’s a new movie coming out tonight and I want to go see it.” Zoey suggested. Only able to go out occasionally lately, staying at home had bored her to death.
“Why don’t you rent a movie and I’ll watch it with you in your room?” He urged her to change her mind.
“Don’t. I’m going to be bored out of my mind if I’m at home every day!” Zoey was so upset that she was practically freaking out sitting on the couch.
“You’re pregnant now, you can’t go where there are so many people. In case you get squeezed …”
“You are depriving me of my basic rights!” Zoey cried, “When I was pregnant with Nini and KK, didn’t I work and go out all the time? And nothing happened.”
“Just because you suffered so much alone before, you can’t be allowed to suffer at all now.” He had his reasons.
Pregnant women are already emotionally unstable, and Zoey, who has been smothered in the house for a long time, is even more so. She glared at him angrily, twisted her face and walked upstairs, a look of unwillingness to take care of him again. Looking at her angry look, Jerry Xiao sighed and finally …
Close the computer and follow. Holding her from behind, “Angry?”
“What do you think?” Zoey asked rhetorically, mentioning it again with aggravation in her soft voice, “Can you not be angry if you’re constantly being restricted from going here and there?”
Her look made Jerry Xiao immediately throw up his hands in surrender. “I’m sorry, I was the one who was too nervous.”
As soon as he apologized, Zoey’s anger seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. Her face eased up a lot, and her tone softened, “Actually, I can understand how you feel, but I really want to go out for a walk.”
Jerry Xiao kissed the top of her head, “Okay then, I’ll take you for a walk.”
His sudden change of heart made Zoey’s eyes light up, and she turned to look at him, almost touched. Turning around, almost touched, she looked at him like a schoolchild who had been given candy. Jerry Xiao lost his smile. Jerry Xiao lost his smile and knocked on her head, “However, I have a condition.”
Shoulders slumping, Zoey looked at him a little glumly, “I knew it wasn’t that simple.”
“The conditions are, no wandering. No stealing ice cream, like the last time we went out, and none of those unclean snacks – the doctor explained that it’s dangerous.”
Ah …
She was a little disappointed.
I had wanted to go out, just to have some of that street food. Now, it’s all gone to waste.
“Okay then. I promise.” For the sake of the baby, for a rare trip, she had to compromise. Relieved, he gathered his things and led her out the door.
It’s still a tragedy to be traveling like this.
“Jerry, I want that cinnamon cake.” She, pointing at the rows of pastries set up on the street. In the past, every time she passed by, she would buy quite a few of them back, but, since she got pregnant, she never tasted them again. Now, naturally, she missed it immensely.
“Can’t eat it! The street is full of cars coming and going, so it must have gotten quite dusty.”
“But didn’t you used to eat it with gusto?”
“I’m not pregnant.”
“You …” she stammered, and, finally, threw him a charge, “Abusing a pregnant woman!”
“Be good, go back and let Li’s mom make it for you.” He was completely unmoved, coaxing her lightly like a child.
Time, in happiness, passes quickly. The two children were always close to Zoey’s belly, listening to the baby’s voice. They are always hogging Zoey, excitedly waiting for another child to come, and many times, even Jerry Xiao, who is the father, doesn’t have a chance to get close.
Zoey goes to the hospital regularly for check-ups in case anything happens. Luckily, the baby is now five months old and has been growing normally. That’s a big relief for everyone.
Today …
It was Jerry’s third day on business and Zoey counted the days until he returned.
It was after 8:00 p. m. and the summer cicadas were making the season seem hotter and hotter. After the driver picked up her mother-in-law, Zoey put the two children to bed. Late at night like this, looking at the two children like Jerry’s features, the heart of the thoughts will be deeper.
I stroked the child in my belly and thought distantly about whether he or she would be a boy or a girl; about how excited everyone would be at the moment of birth; about how he or she would grow up …
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly. The light was soft, reflecting her expression with more and more tenderness. Bending her head, looking at the sleeping children, she lovingly planted a deep kiss on each of their heads.
Finally, she has given them the most complete home and found their daddy from Little Heart Nabi. She really doesn’t have any more regrets in her life …

Jerry Xiao gently put down his luggage and then came to see the children first. Sure enough, she was sitting quietly at the end of the bed, holding a book and watching quietly by the light. The children were sleeping on two separate cots, sleeping soundly. Under the shroud of the soft light, the whole picture was cozy and quiet, making his heart, all of a sudden, peaceful as well.
Originally, there are two more days to come back, but too much want this home, so in the end will be a few days of work crammed together to rush through, booked a plane ticket to rush back.
