My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 – If I Can’t Even Do Something As Simple As Liking You

What Gu Yue Xin said was amusing to Li Tian. Am I a serial killer? Or maybe a lunatic in their eyes?

Didn’t you see how calm I was when I was talking to you? I’m a changed man, okay?

However, Li Tian couldn’t help but feel smug after knowing how terrified they were of him. How narcissistic.

He came back to the office in the afternoon. Although they didn’t have a lot to do, everyone was busy making final checks as their entire department was going on a short trip starting tomorrow.

On the other hand, Li Tian had a rather relaxed afternoon at work. He even had the time to make tea for his colleagues.

Right before they were preparing to get off work, someone walked into the office.

“Ya Jing… Oh no, I should call you ‘Leader Chen’ now, right?”

Li Tian said to Chen Ya Jing as he let out a chuckle.

“Call me anything you want, I’m here to see you.”

Seeing Li Tian would always put a smile on Chen Ya Jing’s face. Although many people had seen her smile, it was a different kind of smile specifically for Li Tian.

“What’s up?”

“I’m moving tonight. Can you help me move if you’re free later?”

Chen Ya Jing hadn’t seen Li Tian these days, as they were in different departments now, not to mention both departments rarely have the chance to collaborate. She was worried that people would tease her if she had gone to see Li Tian with lame excuses.

Luckily, she was moving that day, so she had an excuse to see Li Tian.

“You’re moving? Sure, I’ll help you.”

Li Tian would naturally help. After all, moving houses was not an easy thing to do alone, especially for a young woman like Chen Ya Jing.

However, what Li Tian didn’t know was that, when he got into the car with Chen Ya Jing, someone slowly raised the window blinds and was looking down at them from the top floor.

Lin Yi stared out the window with a cold expression. She just wanted to stand up and do some stretching as she had to finish up her work even after all her employees left.

She didn’t expect to see that at all. Obviously, Lin Yi was slightly upset by the scene she just witnessed.

“Help me organize these documents. I’ll bring them home to go through.”

Lin Yi didn’t feel like staying at the office anymore.

In the past, she would bring work home as she would be too busy to finish everything during the day. However today, it was because she wanted to cool off for a bit.

…

“Ya Jing, you don’t really have a lot of things.”

Li Tian said, whilst looking at the two boxes at the doorstep.

“Yeah, but it’s still almost 100 pounds.”

“You’re not taking your furniture with you?”

Rich people such as Lin Yi usually didn’t take their furniture along with them when they moved houses as they would buy new ones. But to ordinary white-collar workers like Chen Ya Jing, their furniture was easily worth a few months of their salaries.

“Nope. They’re going to a second-hand furniture shop. It’s just a studio apartment so I don’t need much. I’ll just go get a few necessities afterwards.”

“Okay, then. I’ll help you carry these boxes up.”

After about ten minutes, Li Tian knew where Chen Ya Jing’s new house was located. It was only about 50 meters away from the office, which was closer than her previous place that was 300 meters away.

“Ya Jing, is this the dorm for employees provided by our company?”

Li Tian asked out of curiosity.

“Nope. I came across this place by coincidence. Our office is on the opposite side, how convenient.”

The studio apartment was roughly 40 square meters big, which was still very spacious for one person to live in.

Actually, the majority of the white-collar workers in Jiangdu knew how to enjoy themselves. As they usually didn’t have financial constraints, they could do whatever they wanted.

For instance, they could lead a comfortable, well-balanced and happy life, whilst also being able to afford some branded goods once in a while.

“It’s a good place to stay. You could also come home to have a quick nap in the afternoon if you want.”

50 meters… It was only less than a minute’s walk away from the office. These people sure know how to enjoy their lives. In the past, Li Tian used to run 50 kilometres on foot.

“Yeah, I thought so too.”

After she finished talking, Chen Ya Jing laid on her bed with her arms and legs stretched outwards.

As she was only wearing a shirt today, her posture revealed her flat tummy. That sight immediately took Li Tian’s breath away.

This pose looks like…

Li Tian quickly lied down beside Chen Ya Jing and whispered into her ear, ” Ya Jing, are you seducing me?”

“Of course.”

Chen Ya Jing responded with a grin plastered on her face. She turned to look at Li Tian and then put her legs on top of him.

Chen Ya Jing was very easy-going and ‘mature’. As long as it was with someone she liked, she wouldn’t mind sleeping with them at all. On the other hand, Lin Yi, who was always cold to others, was different. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rejected Li Tian last night.

Li Tian knew that although he had some self-control, he didn’t have enough to brag about it.

To put it simply, he was someone who could resist the temptation of money and power. But, for this… his actions already showed how much ‘self-control’ he had.

“Since you’ve said so, then don’t regret it!”

As soon as he finished, he pinned Chen Ya Jing under himself.

She looked as red as a tomato.

As it wasn’t their first time sleeping together, they knew what they were doing and ‘jumped straight into action’.

Currently, it was 8 at night. Two hours had passed since they got off work.

Chen Ya Jing was lying in Li Tian’s embrace, with a slightly flushed complexion.

“Li Tian, I’ve fallen in love with you. What should I do now?”

She realized that she had fallen in love with this younger man who was also married to someone else. Most importantly, his wife was the CEO of the company she was working at.

It sounded like things couldn’t go more wrong. Chen Ya Jing still couldn’t believe that this was happening to her.

“Continue being in love with me, then. There’s no one in this world stopping you from doing that!”

“Of course there is someone, your wife.”

“Hey…”

Chen Ya Jing’s answer left Li Tian speechless.

“Honestly, I’m not afraid to love you. I’m just scared that I’ll be chased with a bat down the streets by your wife one day and that I’d be labelled as a homewrecker. Tell me, will you come to hold me and protect me if that happens? Would you bear the humiliation with me and tell everyone that you’ve always liked me, too?”

“Umm… That probably won’t happen. She’s not that kind of a person.”

Li Tian couldn’t help but let out a sigh. Women are just too sensitive sometimes. Why do they need to overthink everything?

It was just the same as asking: If your mother and I fell into a river at the same time, who would you save first?

Rationally speaking, things like this would never happen.

“I don’t care. I just want an answer from you!”

Li Tian was speechless.

“You want an answer?”

“Yes, I want an answer.”

“Then I… If I can’t even do something as simple as liking you, then how am I worth your sacrifice?”

I’m not dumb. Just saying that I like you isn’t something that hard to do.
