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

At least, all that pain and hatred from the past, he’d forgotten it all together, hadn’t he?
After looking deeply at his sleeping face, Zi Ge was reluctant to leave before heading upstairs. Yan Nan was moving rooms, and when he saw her coming upstairs, he walked over and asked, “Miss Meng, where did you put all your luggage? Do you want me to go get it?”
“I came in such a hurry and didn’t think I’d stay suddenly, so I didn’t bring anything.”
“That wouldn’t hurt, just make a list later and I’ll get it.”
“Uh-huh.” Ziggy nodded and thought for a moment, “Su Xi, she’s not here right now?”
“Ms. Su happens to be back in the country, and it may take a month or so before she returns.”
Hearing Yan Nan say this, Zi Ge suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but smile. So … this time, she can always take care of him?
Turning his head, he glanced downstairs, and his heart, which had been empty for half a year until this moment, seemed to fill up a little.
“Yan Nan, I want to ask you something.”
“Well, you say.” Yan Nan looked at Zi Ge. Although this time, Mister would have fallen to the present state of affairs because of Zi Ge’s responsibility, looking at the Blue Sect’s current end of the day without a head, to Zi Ge, in his heart, he was more or less a bit grudging. However, in the end, he is just an outsider, if Mr. willingly, what is there for him to criticize?
“Can we keep this from him for a while about me and his two kids?”
Yan Nan was a bit surprised, ”Why? In fact, at first, I thought about telling mister all about the young master, perhaps it would help him retrieve his memories earlier. But …”
After a pause, Yan Nan bent his head to look at the figure in the hall, his eyes slightly dark, “If mister goes back to find the young master, I worry … that the young master will have trouble accepting the current situation.”
Ziggy nodded before saying, “Since he’s forgotten everything now, I’d like to try and start over with him not because of the baby tie.”
And just because … he may still have that love for himself …
“Of course, if that’s how you like it, I will definitely not talk too much.” Yan Nan glanced at Zi Ge, “Once upon a time sir had a hard time, I hope it will be easier in the future.”
Ziggy smiled slightly and nodded her head in assurance, “I won’t be a burden to him anymore.”
Yan Nan didn’t say anything more and went to move the room again. Zige took paper and a pen and made him a list.
After everything was done, Lan Yu Feng was still lying asleep on the sofa. The firelight from the fireplace illuminated his face clearly.
Thin … and emaciated. Moreover, between those furrowed brows, the sadness did not seem to fade away …
Heart, it hurts.
Ziggy braced her back and held her belly as she walked slowly down. Right next to his body, sitting on the sofa. Looking greedily at the sleeping face that was only very, very close to her in her dreams, her fingers couldn’t help but cover it, outlining over each of his delicate features.
Actually … there is nothing wrong with losing your memory …
How is it not a good thing for him to give up those heavy shackles and painful torments of the past?
The cell phone in his pocket rang at first. Lan Yu Feng on the sofa, who was obviously a light sleeper, frowned all of a sudden. Zi Ge was alarmed and hurriedly drew back her hand, stepped to the side, and pulled out her cell phone in a panic. As expected, it was Ke Hengjun.
“I was going to call you later.” Ziggy’s voice was lowered as she held the phone and spoke to him.
“Why are you acting like a thief?” Ko Hengjun asked curiously.
“He’s sleeping and I’m afraid I’ll disturb him.” She said while looking back at someone on the couch.
“Oh.” Ke Hengjun’s tone, all of a sudden, was much dimmer. But in the next second, he raised his voice again and spoke in a fake relaxed manner, “How was it? Did it really kill Su Xi in seconds?”
“What ah, Su Xi is not here at all, back home.”
“Tsk, then you’re not worrying for nothing?” Ke Hengjun paused for a moment, and in the next second, his voice sank slightly, “… don’t need me to pick you up, do you?”
“I want to stay and take care of him.” Zi Ge leaned herself against the wall, lowered her eyes to stare at the floor, and spoke somewhat darkly to Ke Hengjun, “His current … leg condition is worse than before, and, moreover, he has no memory at all … It’s hard for me to look at my heart …”
“Fool, aren’t you there now? He will definitely get better soon.” Ke Hengjun felt odd that he was still in the mood to comfort her at a time like this, his own heart was dripping blood.
Ziggy laughed, “I’m not medicine, so how can I get better that fast?”
Ke Hengjun smiled back, “Maybe … you really are medicine.”
At least …
For him, she is.
Although, bitter mouth. But … the day he had her by his side, his heart, never hurt like this …
“When are you coming back home?” Ziggy asked him softly.
“My task of escorting the flowers is done, I’ll book my flight now, and will pick the nearest flight.” Now, there was no point for him to stay any longer.
His mission …
Just to keep her safe.
“Then I’ll see you off.” Ziggy demanded.
“Don’t, I wouldn’t dare let a pregnant woman like you give me a ride in that deep snow outside. Just stay put and don’t give me any trouble, I’ll have to send you back again later.”
Zi Ge looked at the deep snow outside and only nodded, “Then I won’t send you, you should be careful yourself, it’s best not to rent a car and drive yourself anymore, just take a taxi.”
“I’m noticing you’re getting wordy. Surely a mom of two kids is different.”
“Hey!” Ziggy pretended to be annoyed.
Ke Hengjun squared up over there and reminded her, “Just hang up the phone, don’t carry your cell phone around all day, you’re pregnant now, it’s not good for the baby.”
“Got it.”
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone. When Zige turned around, she only saw that Lan Yu Feng had already woken up, and he was sitting on the sofa, his eyes looking at her coolly.
“Did I wake you?”
“Come sit down.” He patted the empty seat at his feet.
Zige then sat down as she was told and looked at him. He was also looking at her. As her eyes met, her heart skipped a beat, and she was the first to look away, but she heard him ask, “Was the one who just called your child’s father?”
She nodded and shook her head, “It’s the baby’s godfather.”
“You’re married?” Lan Yu Feng looked at her, the fire in the fireplace, flickering one at a time under her eyes, illuminating rippling waves of light.
“No.” Ziggy shook her head.
Lan Yu Feng eyes have Si obvious surprise, and then …
The corners of his lips, without trace, lifted a little higher.
Her eyes fell on her protruding belly, “What about the father of the baby now that you’re pregnant? If you stay with me, he doesn’t care about you?”
Zi Ge gazed at him, her eyes tumbling with deep emotion. Only after a long time did she speak softly, “His daddy has a new life now, and I don’t want the child to disturb him.”
He frowned slightly, “So he has another woman now?”
“… sort of.” Su Xi, does it count as other women? It should be counted! Spending as much as half a year together, not only beautiful, but also taking good care of him, as a man whose memories have been completely shuffled, it should be hard not to fall in love with a woman like that, right?
Thinking about this, her eyes darkened slightly. Looking at her slightly sad side face, Lan Yu Feng only thought that he had touched something she was sad about, so he coughed and changed the subject, “Help me up, I’m a bit tired from sleeping.”
Zige realized that it was more like someone else taking care of her than saying she was taking care of him. Nowadays, it was a bit hard for her to even go up and down the stairs, and she had to be assisted every time she made a trip downstairs.
Moreover, still drowsy, he sat on the sofa and fell asleep after a while. I thought that Lan Yu Feng would be very dissatisfied with his performance, but, unexpectedly, he never said anything about letting her go.
This night …
When Lan Yufeng let Yan Nan push her way out of the study, Zige was curled up alone on the sofa, asleep again. The TV was still playing a Russian program, and she was trying very hard to learn Russian, however, the results were minimal.
“Falling asleep like this and not worrying about catching a cold.” Yan Nan shook his head. A pregnant woman was surprisingly this careless.
“You go rest first.” Lan Yu Feng instructed Yan Nan.
Knowing better, Yan Nan answered and hurried up the stairs.
The entire house became unusually quiet for a moment. It was as if only the two of them existed in the entire world. Lan Yu Feng pushed his wheelchair closer, bent his head, and stared fixedly at that sleeping face.
What role did this woman … ever play in his life?
Why …
It’s always a very different feeling in the heart?
Head, some pain. He raised his hand and rubbed it twice, not wanting to think any further, he turned to his side and fished out the blanket on the side and was about to cover her. Unexpectedly, she slept very shallowly, the blanket only to ride down, then abruptly woke up.
He froze, his movements frozen in mid-air, looking especially embarrassed under her confused, searching eyes.
Zi Ge looked at the blanket hanging over her body, then looked at his uncomfortable appearance, suddenly realized and couldn’t help but smile. Reaching out, she graciously took the blanket and covered herself, “Thank you. Actually, you don’t need to be embarrassed, I often cover you too.”
This woman, she absolutely nailed it on purpose!
“Don’t ever sleep on the couch again, I’m never the only one who sleeps here.” He grimaced and stiffened back at her.
“Oh, I know.” Zige nuzzled her mouth and decided not to refute him anymore. In fact, this couch, she had already slept on it for I don’t know how many times.
“Are you going to sleep? I’ll walk you to your room.” Ziggy got up and pushed him toward his room on the first floor.
He lay down on the bed, and Zi Ge covered him with the quilt again before she was ready to go out. However, when he turned around, he suddenly reached out and pulled her to a stop.
The moment their skin touched, they both trembled, as if something marvelous had trickled through and burrowed into each other’s hearts.
Ziggy paused, her breath tightening slightly.
Lan Yu Feng also stiffened for a while before drawing his hand back as if nothing had happened.
“I’m going to be doing rehab tomorrow, so for now, give me some pressure on my leg, it’s a little sore.” He spoke, his voice calm and natural. Like there were no waves or ripples in his heart.
Ziggy just came back to her senses as well and nodded her head busily, “Good.”
Pulling a chair and sitting down on the edge of the bed, she suddenly found her reaction funny. Why was she acting like a little girl who had just fallen in love for the first time, even holding hands made her heart beat faster?
Zige’s hands roamed around his legs, and even though they were separated by fabric, she could feel the stiffness of the muscles, every part of them like stone. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, how could she not believe that a pair of perfectly slender legs like that would become senseless …
Thinking about this, the tip of her nose turned a little sour, but she forced herself not to shed tears.
“What are you thinking?” Suddenly, his voice, calmly, rang out.
In the darkness of the night, in such an atmosphere, the inquiring voice seemed to stir her fragile nerves all at once. She only dared to shake her head, not daring to make a sound.
Lan Yu Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at her. With her hair hanging down, her fair face was hidden between her black hair, and under the shroud of light, the skin on her face was as white as snow.
