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

Sure enough, Su Xi’s face, which had just been bright, changed slightly when she heard his latter words. Ke Hengjun shrugged his shoulders and was about to walk away. When he passes by her, he suddenly stops his footsteps and moves closer towards her. Su Xi was so shocked that she slightly averted her face, and heard his evil voice ringing in her ears, “You say, why don’t we just settle for a pair? It also saves us from worrying about them.”
He smiled a hangdog smile, but the loneliness that settled under his eyes couldn’t be fooled.
Su Xi laughed a little and took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Ke Hengjun, “I think it’s better if we try to fight for it. I think that they don’t see fit.”
Lan Yu Feng glanced at the time, there was still a while before 7:00, he began to pack up the papers on his desktop. Yan Nan knocked on the door and came in, “Sir, there’s a dinner party in a while, you may need to attend in person.”
“I have other arrangements, you take care of this meal.” Lan Yu Feng only packed his things without looking up.
Yannan was quite surprised.
It’s not really his style to put business aside to work on other things. Besides …
“This time, the other party is the head of France’s Rouse Construction.” Yan Nan reminded again.
“Uh-huh.” He responded, still rambling, “I’ll leave it to you.”
Yan Nan understood now, it seemed that whatever was going on could not change his schedule. This meeting with wenky, the person in charge of Rouse, was something that Mr. Ben had taken very seriously, but now in his mind, Meng Zige was clearly much more important than him.
“Then I will go and make arrangements.” Without saying anything more, Yan Nan brought the door to go out. Lan Yu Feng glanced at him, “You think I’m not attending tonight’s meal because of the movie date with Meng Zige?”
Being easily guessed into his heart, Yan Nan froze for a moment. Following that, he nodded, “That is exactly what my subordinate thought, this is really unlike you.”
Lan Yu Feng laughed a bit, ”So, you don’t really know me I’ve talked to him on the phone 4 times before and after, and I know more or less a bit about his nature. Arrogant and unselfconscious, if I don’t suppress his sharpness first, I’m afraid the price he’ll offer next will be several steps higher. Why should I waste time with him?”
“So it is.” Yan Nan then realized.
That was the Mr. he knew, with his own agenda every step of the way, calm, wise, and shrewd.
“Go ahead and make the arrangements and keep me posted on the night. By the way, he likes Asian women, pick a few fancier ones and send them over.”
“Yes, sir.” Yan Nan Cheng responded before turning around and preparing to go out. Pulling open the door, he saw a figure outside the door about to knock.
“Ms. Sue.” He greeted with a smile.
“Is this getting off work?” Su Xi asked with a smile, probing at Lan Yu Feng who was packing up his things inside, “Looks like I arrived just in time.”
“Not really.” Yan Nan raised the file in his hand, “I’ll get busy first.”
“Well, go ahead.”
After Su Xi said goodbye to Yan Nan, the office’s open, she reached out and knocked symbolically, “Can I come in?”
The man inside doesn’t look up, just busies himself with emails on his computer and asks, “Not making a movie today?”
“I wanted to ask you out to dinner after today’s scene.”
Lan Yu Feng looked down at the time, “It’s not coincidental that you made an appointment, I have other arrangements later.”
Su Xi laughed a little, “I just heard, you pushed off your social engagements for tonight.”
“It was pushed off because I had a personal matter.” Lan Yu Feng looked up at her and spoke faintly, “I asked Zi Ge to watch a movie.”
Su Xi was stunned on the spot by his words.
She knew he had a date with Ziggy, but she didn’t want … them to go to the movies …
Isn’t that an activity only for couples, only?
“I … couldn’t have come at a worse time.” She smiled shyly. But, in the next second, the corners of her lips curled up again, “I don’t have a car, so you can give me a ride, okay?”
Send her?
Obviously time is simply running out.
“I’ll have the driver take you.” Without consulting Su Xi at all, he had already pressed the intercom.
“President, do you have any other orders?” The secretary’s sweet voice came from the other end. His voice remained calm, “Have the driver prepare the car and send Ms. Su away.”
“Yes, President, arrange it right away.”
Su Xi looked at him, his movements were sharp, everything had been arranged, and he directly discarded her. This kind of feeling, really bad. A circle of astringency floated out of her eye frame, but pride made it so, she didn’t say anything more, she just tightened the bag in her hand, and wisely turned around to leave.
Lan Yu Feng packed up properly and walked into the elevator with his cane. By this time, there were already thin raindrops falling down outdoors, and the sky was gray.
The cell phone, just at this moment boomed at first. Only when he picked it up, he heard the anxious voice over there snapping, “It’s not good, President!”
“What is it?” Lan Yu Feng’s tone was flat.
“Ms. Su suddenly had a hard time and is now fainting!”
His handsome brow furrowed at once, “Where are you?”
“Still in the parking garage.” Over there, the driver replied.
“Wait for me!” Lan Yu Feng wrapped up the line as he reached out and pressed up the basement. It was now time to go off work, and the basement had quite a few vehicles coming and going at the moment. Lan Yu Feng stepped out of the elevator and saw a group of employees gathered in a circle.
His brow furrowed deeper, and he hurried his steps a bit.
She suffers from a heart condition, and now she’s surrounding Suh Xi with people.
“What are you all doing around here? Disperse!” The cold reprimand did the trick. Everyone snorted in unison and dispersed to the side. Lan Yu Feng walked into the crowd, only to see Su Xi was dying and collapsing in the car, her face pale and abnormal. His chest was heaving violently, and he seemed to be having a hard time breathing.
“President, is it time to send to the hospital?” The driver’s face drifted into uneasiness, and when he saw Lan Yu Feng get into it, he hurriedly followed into the driver’s seat.
“It’s not too late to ask this question?” Lan Yu Feng only carried Su Xi’s head to his lap and pillowed it, pulling out his cell phone while instructing the driver, “Drive, to Su Gong Gong Mansion.”
His face was cold and ugly, the driver naturally didn’t dare to be slow, immediately started the car and drove out of the garage. Lan Yu Feng had already dialed the phone to Su Chen, “Su Xi fainted, what should I do now?”
“Fainted?” Su Chen’s voice raised a bit, “Go through her bag, there’s medicine in the bag. Give it to her to swallow.”
Lan Yu Feng went through his bag with one hand, rummaging through a bottle of medicine and confirming it once more before pouring a few pills out and sending them into Su Xi’s mouth.
“It will arrive at your house in about 10 minutes, so get ready and wait at home.” Lan Yu Feng’s tone didn’t ease up in the slightest, it was still taut. Waiting until Su Chen answered over there, he then put down the phone. Dropping his eyes, looking at Su Xi’s still unconscious appearance, his brows couldn’t help but wrinkle deeper, raising his voice to instruct the driver, “Drive a little faster.”
This season, the rain came when it said it would. At precisely 7:00, Zige stood in front of the hospital looking out at the continuous rain. Hand, tucked in her pocket, a movie ticket was cupped in her palm. Thinking about her date in a while, she couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile a little. Although today’s weather is cool and oozing, but, at this moment, the heart is warm.
Standing at the door, he waited patiently. Until the time reached 7:30, the familiar figure still did not appear. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops were drifting inside, so she was so cold that she wrapped herself slightly tighter. She wanted to make a phone call to ask, but, in the end, she still held back.
It’s only been half an hour …
Maybe, he was delayed in a meeting. Or maybe, he’s on his way now …
The time, gradually, reached eight o’clock.
She screwed up her heart and kept poking her head out to see. Rainy days are a high incidence of accidents, would he …
At the thought of this possibility, her heart was immediately gripped by unease and trepidation. The movie ticket in her hand was wrinkled and crumpled by herself. No longer care about the other, panicked, took out her cell phone, to call him to ask, but …
Only then did he touch his cell phone, only to hear a ‘woo woo’ sound as it immediately shut down after a dead battery alarm.
Halo! This is killing me!
Ziggy was in a hurry.
Lan Yu Feng …
You, never, never be okay … please …
Lan Yu Feng looked at the time once more, his brows furrowing slightly. Su Chen glanced at him, “If you’re in a hurry, just leave first.”
“I’ll wait for her to wake up.” Lan Yu Feng looked at the woman lying on the bed.
“She’ll be fine. Don’t worry, I’m here to watch over her.” Su Chen glanced at his sister.
Lan Yu Feng didn’t speak again, but also didn’t move, still sitting there quietly waiting. It was now past eight thirty, she couldn’t wait until she should have already gone home.
At almost 9 o’clock, Su Xi finally slowly lifted her eyes. Seeing the man on the sofa, she smiled openly in relief, and her weak face finally had a hint of anger.
“Brother Ufone.” She called out softly, still weak.
“Your brother is here too, transparent in your eyes?” Su Chen was displeased.
Su Xi then laughed and hurriedly called out ‘brother’.
Lan Yu Feng stood up and walked over to Su Xi’s bedside, looking at her with downcast eyes, “It’s good that you’ve woken up, have a good rest. I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
“Just go?” The smile that was just there, froze on his face …
Now Boom picks up Ran. Su Xi knew about his date with Meng Zige, and there was never a moment when he wished so much that he would faint for a little while longer and wake up a little later.
“Uh-huh.” Lan Yu Feng nodded his head and gave her another look, instructing, “Take your medication on time, don’t mess with your body.”
“Brother Yu Feng …” looking at his turning back, Su Xi couldn’t help but call out, the longing and reluctance in his tone were clear.
Of course Su Chen understood his sister’s mind.
Yet, he understands this man better …
A man who not only has no heart but also carries a destiny will never be a good match for his sister.
“Alright, you need rest the most right now.” Su Chen directly pulled over the quilt to cover Su Xi, not giving her another chance to stay, “You lie down for a while, I’ll send Yu Feng out.”
Two minutes later, Su Chen refolded back. Su Xi was lying on the bed with a gloomy face, and when she saw Su Chen, she gave him a somewhat angry glare.
“Don’t blame me, I’m doing this for your own good.” Su Chen walked in with his chest clasped.
“For my own good, why don’t you help me leave Brother Yu Feng behind?” Su Xi pouted.
“Sitting here for two hours, he looked at the time at least ten times, what kind of heart do you want him to stay with?” Su Chen sat down on the edge of the bed and ruffled Su Xi’s hair scattered around his cheeks, “A mood of guilt? Or the mood of gratitude?”
Su Xi frowned, “Why does it have to be guilt or gratitude? Those are the last two I need!”
Su Chen sighed, “You’re not stupid, why do you have to be so stubborn with him? After so many years, you still don’t know his heart? It’s impossible for him to fall in love with a woman even if it’s you. Even if you are still the same as before, and don’t want to die to save him again, he will only have these two emotions for you, and there can’t be any more.”
His words were so real, so real and cruel, that it was hard for Su Xi to even think of refuting them.
In her chest, squeezing pain, pain that made her gasp heavily.
