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

“Can’t die. Hang up.” Ke Hengjun also did not want this ghostly appearance to be seen by anyone. Otherwise, she should be counting him out for not taking care of his stomach like Zi Ge.
Women, they’re just trouble.
Just …
That trouble in the past, now, later … may not be in his life again …
“No, wait! Wait!” Mandy yelled over there again.
“What for?”
“Open the door, I brought you a midnight snack.”
Only after the words fell, the doorbell immediately rang. Ke Hengjun stood up and washed his face before walking out of the restroom to open the door.
“Here, smells good, doesn’t it?” Mandy waved the midnight snack in front of him.
The twinge of pain, mixed with the feeling of vomiting, didn’t dissipate at all. Ke Hengjun frowned and said, “Set it aside for now, I’ll eat it later.”
“Are you not feeling well?” Minnie’s eyes were sharp, he was too pale, a little too white.
“I’m fine.” He slapped away Mandy’s probing hand.
Another cramp in his stomach caused him to cover his stomach in pain.
On his face, a cold sweat covered it.
“You must be having another stomach bug! Really can’t do anything about you! Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to the hospital.” Xiao Min held him by the hand.
“No need. Just take some medicine.”
“If you don’t go, I’ll call Ziggy and tell her you’re being capricious again.” Minnie threatened him with this trick, she knew that it was tried and true.
“Don’t you dare!” Ke Hengjun glared at her.
“Hmph! See if I dare!” Minnie wasn’t afraid of him and reached for the phone.
“Hey! Do you believe I’ll drive you?”
Minnie was indifferent.
“Hey! Damn girl!”
Minnie continued to dial the number.
“All right! I’ll go with you!” In the end, he compromised.
Minnie immediately collected her cell phone with a joyful smile, “That’s a good boy.”
“Listen carefully, if you dare to reveal half a word in front of Zige, you’re dead!”
“Don’t worry, if Ziggy asks, I’ll definitely say that you’ve eaten and slept properly! Okay?”
That’s more like it!
The next day, early morning.
When Zi Ge got up, he didn’t see Lan Yu Feng.
“Is mister not up yet?” Ziggy asked the maid.
“I got up, said I had no appetite for breakfast, and went back to sleep.” The maid replied, “Probably because she was tired yesterday. It’s always like this, after rehab, the appetite won’t be too good for a few days in a row.”
“Oh.” Ziggy glanced worriedly at his room.
He had lost a lot of weight in the past few months. She couldn’t let him lose any more weight.
After thinking about it for a while, Zi Ge got a driver, spoke to Yan Nan and went out.
After Lan Yu Feng woke up, he almost instinctively searched for her. Su Xi had taken care of himself for half a year, and he had never relied on her. And Meng Zige was only here for a few short days, and he had already gotten used to her presence.
And …
Very attached, very attached to having her around.
“Where is she?” Unable to find her, Lan Yu Feng asked the maid.
“Ms. Meng had the driver take it to the supermarket.”
Lan Yu Feng looked at the heavy wind and snow outside and couldn’t help but frown. This kind of weather, and still go out?
Fortunately, in this kind of weather, there were very, very few people in the supermarket. With a big belly and no inconvenience whatsoever, Zige traveled through the rows and rows of shelves.
She picked out some light appetizing dishes and wanted to make something simple for Chinese food.
Every time he picked something, he subconsciously chose his favorite. In no time at all, the shopping cart was filled to the brim.
Not too close, not too far away, Lan Yu Feng watched her somewhat arduously tiptoeing to fetch something from a high shelf. The protruding belly, dangerously close to the shelves, looked frightening.
Lan Yu Feng slightly fastened his wheelchair.
If he wasn’t paralyzed himself, he could easily take down what she wanted for her.
The color of his eyes, darkened a lot. In a deep voice, he instructed Yan Nan, “Follow her, and take down whatever she wants to choose for her.”
“What about you?”
Yan Nan looked at his sunken expression.
“The driver will take me back.” Lan Yu Feng pushed his wheelchair outside by himself, Yan Nan wanted to see him out, but he was stopped by a look.
Zi Ge looked at the suddenly appearing Yan Nan in surprise, “Why are you here?”
“Sir told me to follow you. Help you carry your things.” Yan Nan took down the things on the shelves, dropped them in the shopping cart, and took the cart in his own hands again.
“Hmm? He’s here too?” Zige’s eyes brightened slightly, and she almost immediately probed for him.
“Mister has just left and gone home first.”
“Why?” Ziggy was visibly lost.
Yan Nan glanced at her, sighed, and still told the truth, “I just saw that you had a hard time fetching things, and mister couldn’t help, so …”
He shrugged, “I can see that despite the memory loss, Sir still cares about you. In the past, with Ms. Su, it wouldn’t be so cheerful and relaxed, but there was no time for such self-hatred.”
Self-hatred …
Zige’s heart ached slightly.
This man, once upon a time, was a man who could do anything. How can he be in such a mood?
“Has he been gone long?”
“Just left, I don’t think they’re out of the supermarket yet.”
Zige patted the shopping cart and handed the heavy responsibility over to Yan Nan, “Please help me with the bill, I’ll go find him.”
Without waiting for Yan Nan to say anything, she had already walked quickly outside. Yan Nan worriedly barked after her, “Ms. Meng, slow down!”
Ziggy walked through one of the shelves and saw his back from a distance.
Although he was in a wheelchair, he was the one who stood out among the layers of people.
Zige couldn’t help but remember the first time she saw him in the hospital, it was the same situation.
It’s just a backdrop …
How could I have ever imagined, back then, that I would one day become so deeply entangled with him?
And who would have ever thought that this man would do for himself and even give up his life?
Thinking about this, Zi Ge bloomed into a smile and slowly walked towards him. Silently, from behind, she pulled his wheelchair in place.
He turned around and saw her, his brows narrowing slightly, “He told you that?”
“Why did you sneak off?” She asked without answering.
“No.” But it just didn’t feel like I could do her any favors by being here.
Ziggy pouted and pushed him out the door, “Have you ever been to the grocery store with Su Xi?”
“… You seem to care about her?” He gave her a sideways glance.
“Uh-huh.” She admitted matter-of-factly.
“Why?”
“Then answer me first.” Ziggy made conditions with him.
“Uh-huh. Wandered.” He replied.
Zige bit her lip, and only after a long time did she let out a soft “oh”. Her mood was obviously very low.
This reaction of hers made Lan Yu Feng inexplicably feel as if he had done something wrong.
Glancing at her, his lips moved to say something, but stopped short.
“If you can walk her to the grocery store, why can’t you walk me instead of walking away first?”
Lan Yu Feng remained silent.
Zige felt more and more deflated, “Do you … like Su Xi very much?”
She couldn’t help remembering the last time she was in prison, Su Xi had shown herself that picture.
At the time, it was just a glance, but she saw it clearly …
They actually slept together.
Zige’s eyes darkened at the thought.
His eyes, sweeping over her sullen face, did not answer, but simply asked rhetorically, “Why should I like her?”
“I don’t know …,” Ziggy breathed, “she’s beautiful and, well, she’s nice and considerate to you.”
She admitted that her tone was a bit sour, no, it should be very, very sour. Also, she was really jealous.
Lan Yu Feng naturally heard it and inexplicably felt better. Picking his lips, he smiled, “I have to like her just because of that? Then wouldn’t I have to like every nurse in the hospital who takes care of me?”
He paused for a moment and gave her a sideways glance, his eyes deep, “Those are points that you seem to fit.”
“What?” Ziggy froze.
Instead, he turned his eyes back to them and said faintly, “It’s nothing.”
Dropping his eyes to look at him, Zi Ge suddenly smiled, and said nothing more. Just … they both understand, some what things in the two people s hearts have been unspoken.
This feeling made Lan Yu Feng vaguely feel familiar. However, when he thought about it carefully, he couldn’t catch anything.
Lan Yu Feng and Zi Ge arrived home first, with Yan Nan returning a foot later. Zi Ge carried her things and immediately started cooking.
He hadn’t eaten breakfast and should have been hungry long ago. Thinking about this, Zige didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.
She was wandering around the kitchen with the maids helping out. Lan Yu Feng was sitting on the sofa reading papers, and when he got tired of reading, he dropped what he was holding and let someone push himself towards the kitchen.
When he pushed open the door, he saw Ziggy wearing an apron and holding her stomach in a busy manner.
That back, made his brow tighten, and countless images flashed before his eyes in a trance, as if it had all been experienced at one time or another.
He pressed his brow, trying desperately to remember something, but …
Her voice, however, crushed all his thoughts.
“What brings you in?” Ziggy looked at him with a smile. “Are you hungry?”
“Well, a little.” He suddenly realized that she looked cute even with her apron on. The bulging belly made her look like a ball.
“Who told you not to eat breakfast?” Zi Ge glanced at him angrily, turned down the fire a little, scooped out a little borscht and tried the flavor on herself first, feeling satisfied before walking to him. Squatting down, she took a spoon and scooped up a spoonful and handed it to him, “Try to see if it’s to your liking.”
She’s close, very close …
It was as if even his breath fell on the tip of his nose as he spoke.
Eyelashes slightly raised, like the wings of a colorful butterfly, blossoming under the brimming eyes with a bewildering stream of light. On her lips, there was still borscht, and the bright red color lined her lips with a reddish color. …
‘Bang bang bang bang bang bang’ Lan Yufeng could clearly hear his heart beating in disorder.
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?” Ziggy met his baffled gaze curiously.
“No.” He looked at her and replied calmly before commanding, “Come closer.”
Zige didn’t think much about it and obediently came closer. Unexpectedly, he suddenly tilted his head …
His lips, pressed against hers.
That cold touch came up against her, and Zige’s mind went blank. Her hand trembled, and the soup almost spilled on the floor.
But …
Not waiting for her to return to his lips, he immediately backed away again.
Zige blushed slightly and looked at him a little confused, but he looked as if nothing had happened and nodded, “It tastes pretty good.”
The maid on the side looked at them with a smile.
Ziggy remembers a time when he tasted mashed potatoes in this same kitchen …
heart, beating extremely fast, for a moment before saying, “Go out, I’ll be done soon.”
Lan Yu Feng seemed satisfied and was in a good mood, so he didn’t mess with her anymore and let the people push him out.
In the kitchen, Ziggy touched her lips, as if his body heat still lingered on them, causing her fingertips to tremble slightly.
Unable to help the smile that rippled across her face, she turned and continued to devote herself to cooking.
