The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 164 - 164 158 155 Crying and Saying I Love You

164: Chapter 158 Chapter 155: Crying and Saying I Love You 164: Chapter 158 Chapter 155: Crying and Saying I Love You “Ye Chen, you bastard, are you lying to me?” Li Ruo’s emotions flared up again.

She held Ye Chen’s hand and said, “Why do you tell me you like me, yet remain in this deep sleep, unable to wake up?

Do you really have to endure surgery tomorrow?

Ye Chen, you told me before that the wind can blow away a sheet of paper but can’t chase away a little butterfly because the strength of life lies in disobedience!

But why are you so compliant?

Why do you submit to fate…”

Tears from Li Ruo fell onto Ye Chen’s face.

Busy with her sorrow, Li Ruo didn’t realize that Ye Chen had woken up from his coma.

He opened his eyes slightly and watched the scene before him, sensing that something was slowly emerging in his mind, as if something was being suppressed.

Ye Chen tried hard to pry open the cage and explore what was inside, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t see the contents locked within that cage.

The more he tried, the more severe the headache felt.

Having been in a coma for three days, Ye Chen had the same dream repeatedly, nearly every time being chased by a group of black-clothed men to a cliff, and then being forced by them to jump.

At the moment of jumping, a stunningly enchanting woman appeared in front of Ye Chen.

This dream had been with Ye Chen for several years now.

“Xiao Ruo, do you like me?” Ye Chen muttered.

“I do!” Li Ruo nodded her head, then suddenly, she froze in place.

Li Ruo quickly wiped away her tears and looked at Ye Chen seriously, saying, “Ye Chen, have you…

have you woken up?”

“If you like me, then I’m awake; if you don’t like me, then I’m not awake!” Ye Chen showed a mischievous smile, lying on the bed and noticing the inviting shadows inside Li Ruo’s chest.

Li Ruo just happened to lean forward, the V-shaped neckline almost creating a vacuum, revealing her proud and smooth skin, and the half-covered lace bra holding her fullness added a seductive charm.

“Hmph!” Li Ruo immediately noticed where Ye Chen’s gaze was and let out a light snort with a twinge of irritation: “Pervert, even in these circumstances, you can’t help but stare.

Some things never change!”

“Heh heh, food and sex are human nature!” Ye Chen chuckled, and suddenly, a bubbling sound came from his stomach.

Ye Chen grinned and said, “Is there anything to eat?

I’m hungry!”

“Didn’t you just say ‘food and sex are human nature’?” Li Ruo hooked a smile at the corner of her mouth and said, “With such a delicate beauty standing in front of you, don’t you feel like enjoying the feast of beauty?”

“That…” Ye Chen was taken aback and said helplessly, “The ancients say, ‘One thinks of lust only when well-fed.’ I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Enough with your nonsense!” Li Ruo let out a light snort, turned her head to pick up a thermal container from the bedside cabinet, and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, “This is the bird’s nest porridge prepared for you.

Drink it while it’s hot.

We’ve been ready for days, fearing the moment you’d awaken!”

“Thank you, Xiao Ruo!” Ye Chen smiled, eagerly opened the container, and began to wolf down his food.

Li Ruo, by his side, was overjoyed and quickly said, “Drink slowly; don’t choke!”

Watching Ye Chen devour his meal brought great happiness to Li Ruo.

Regardless of anything else, as long as Ye Chen was awake, that was what mattered.

After a bout of ravenous eating, Ye Chen finally managed to fill his stomach.

Having slept for three days and two nights, he had practically been living on glucose, but humans are accustomed to extracting energy from food.

Suddenly getting energy from glucose wasn’t easy to adjust to.

Ye Chen patted his slightly filled stomach and smiled, saying, “I’m full now.

Xiao Ruo, have you eaten?”

“I have!” Li Ruo’s face turned red.

Every time Ye Chen called her Xiao Ruo, she felt like a deer caught in the headlights.

Ye Chen, having woken up from his coma, found his whole body aching, especially the back of his head, which hurt exceptionally.

He shook his head and said, “Why do I feel pain all over my body?

And my head hurts so much?”

“Then…

let me massage it for you!” Li Ruo immediately moved closer, sat down by Ye Chen, extended her smooth, white hands, and started to massage his arm.

Ye Chen lay comfortably against the headboard with a sigh: “This really is living like an immortal.

Xiao Ruo, whoever marries you in the future will be very blessed indeed!”

“You…

you said you liked me, didn’t you?” Li Ruo was taken aback.

“Yeah, I do like you, but liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to marry them!” Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo seriously and said, “Since ancient times, there’s been this notion of marrying within one’s social class.

You are the beauty of Jianghuai City, even the whole Jianghuai Province, while I’m just a little ruffian with no memory or even a clear identity, so we are not well-matched.

I think Mr.

Li would never approve of our marriage!”

“You think you know everything!” Li Ruo huffed.

But deep inside, she felt sweet as honey.

Every time she went home, her no-good dad would, for no reason, or by making roundabout comments, bring up something about Ye Chen.

It seemed that her no-good dad wanted to bring her and Ye Chen together.

But how could Ye Chen, this blockhead, know anything about her dad’s intentions.

“Is it even necessary to say?” Ye Chen immediately sat up in bed, saying earnestly, “Behind every entrepreneur, there’s a no-good capitalist.

And that’s his dad.”

Pfft…

Li Ruo suddenly burst into laughter.

She looked at Ye Chen with a smile and said, “I really wonder what my dad would think if he heard your opinions.”

“Hehe, he might just come running out to settle the score with me!” Ye Chen grinned.

Watching the angelically beautiful Li Ruo, with her dazzling eyes that were exceptionally beautiful when she smiled, like a pair of curved crescents so alluring and charming.

Li Ruo seemed to feel Ye Chen’s gaze, their eyes met, and suddenly a surge of electricity sparked between them, making them both shiver inwardly.

Ye Chen gently held Li Ruo, then pulled her into his embrace.

Li Ruo did not resist.

Instead, she complied, leaning into his arms.

With her eyes closed, she knew what was about to happen, feeling expectant, nervous, yet very much looking forward to it.

Hormones are always the most crucial part of the human body, and when a man and woman suddenly feel a spark, this substance will go into overdrive, acting as a catalyst for their emotions.

Just like now, Ye Chen’s hormonal rush spurred an intense desire to possess her, to push Li Ruo beneath him and enter her fiercely.

But his innate kindness also made him incredibly conflicted.

He knew Li Ruo was a good girl, and he couldn’t bear to hurt her like that.

Ye Chen lightly kissed Li Ruo’s lips like a dragonfly skimming water and then immediately let her go.

Li Ruo was stunned.

But then came the sound of Lin Ziwen’s urgent knocking at the door: “Mr.

Li, something’s wrong—the personal doctor called about Old Sir Li’s illness relapsing!”

“Ah…” Li Ruo immediately stood up, not even having the time to say goodbye to Ye Chen before she hurriedly left the sickroom.

Her departure left the room feeling empty.

Ye Chen watched Li Ruo’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but smile lightly, “What a dutiful daughter.”

Then, Ye Chen got out of bed, and when his feet touched the ground, he noticed a wobble in his legs.

After three days of sleep, his muscles were relaxed—how could they not be weak?

Ye Chen persisted in walking around the room for a while until he slowly regained some strength.

He put on his jacket, changed his pants, and walked out of the hospital leisurely.

By the time he left the hospital, it was nightfall, ten o’clock, yet it was still bustling outside.

The remains of the flood seemed to have vanished from sight, like the typhoon and flood had never happened.

On the roads, there were workers with shovels digging ditches, clearing the drainages to ensure that the previous disaster wouldn’t repeat.

Of course, these were all measures ordered by Jiang Zhonggen.

Despite his corruption, he wasn’t entirely bad at heart.

Influenced by the officialdom of China, he had become an exemplary disciple of “Thick Black Theory.” There was still some conscience in Jiang Zhonggen.

After the flood, he immediately issued a series of instructions, demanding coordination between departments, the City Construction Bureau, and the fire brigade to ensure the sewers were clear to prevent another incident.

Jiang Zhonggen’s actions also won him favor from higher-ups and the citizens of Jianghuai City.

Ye Chen strolled down the street, taking in the lingering fishy smell.

The post-storm destruction had taken its toll: many houses had collapsed, roads were damaged and in need of repair—at least a three-month job.

Ye Chen headed towards his apartment complex, where he surprisingly found his little Oto parked safely in its spot.

He approached it joyfully, having thought he lost it, but miraculously it was back, thanks to Li Ruo who had ordered her company’s workers to retrieve Ye Chen’s Oto from Xiangming Mountain after the floodwaters receded.

This somewhat old car was even still able to start.

Just as Ye Chen was about to open the car door, suddenly, a black-clothed figure appeared before him.

Ye Chen was startled—the person had moved so stealthily to appear before him, indicating they were not simple.

Ye Chen stepped back several paces before he realized the figure was someone he knew.

Pfft…

The figure laughed, covering her red lips, “Ye Chen, you really are a scaredy-cat.

To be frightened to this extent!”
