The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 471 - 471 456 The Watch

471: Chapter 456: The Watch 471: Chapter 456: The Watch After coming out, Ye Chen saw Lin Xue’er exit and said with a smile, “How is it, does it fit?”

“Mm, it’s very good!” Lin Xue’er nodded.

“Tell me, how do you know it was me who killed Liu Jiangqiu?” Ye Chen smiled and asked.

“Ah?

It was really you who killed him?” Lin Xue’er was immediately surprised.

Pfft…

Ye Chen spat out another mouthful of beer.

Shit, was this Little Ni deliberately trying to test him?

He originally thought the girl had found something on him, but as it turned out, she was just guessing and then purposefully trying to coax him into a confession?

This left Ye Chen somewhat speechless; after all his years of imposing presence, he was actually falling into the hands of a little girl.

This made Ye Chen a bit depressed.

“I lost to you!” Ye Chen said helplessly.

“Hehe…” Lin Xue’er giggled, then pulled out a watch from her pocket, “Look at this, is this yours?”

Ye Chen was startled, looking at the very inconspicuous watch.

Wasn’t this his Patek Philippe?

How did it end up in this little girl’s hands?

Ye Chen hurriedly asked, “How did my watch get into your hands?”

“Hehe, this watch was found at the scene of Liu Jiangqiu’s death!” Lin Xue’er chuckled and said, “So, I guessed it was you who killed Liu Jiangqiu!”

“Damn it!” Ye Chen said helplessly.

As it turned out, he had taken the watch off to make his movements easier and put it in his pocket.

Unfortunately, he had carelessly left the watch at the crime scene while arranging everything.

If the police had found the watch, he reckoned he would not escape some trouble.

Taking the watch back, Ye Chen smiled and said, “Why didn’t you give it to the police?”

“I’m not a fool!” Lin Xue’er pursed her lips and said, “The police are completely on your side now.

I guess someone is definitely manipulating the whole case from behind, so even if I submit this watch, it would be useless.

Besides, you are now my master…”

Pfft…

Ye Chen couldn’t help it and spat out another mouthful of beer.

This little girl’s words were truly choking.

Every word from her mouth could infuriate him to death.

Lin Xue’er hung her head low, her hands constantly fidgeting with her short skirt.

She looked very charming.

If others saw Jianghuai TV Station’s host acting so embarrassingly in front of a grown man, they would probably be shocked.

“Alright, that’s in the past, you’re free now, okay?” Ye Chen said with a rueful smile.

“No way!” Lin Xue’er immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, “If something is promised, it must be honored.

How can I be someone who goes back on her word?

I promised to give myself to you, and I’m ready anytime you want me!”

“I…” Ye Chen was somewhat bewildered.

At the time, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, to help Lin Xue’er grow up and to make her understand that there are consequences for everything.

Now it seemed, this girl had firmly latched onto him, even holding the past promises as commandments.

Ye Chen said helplessly, “Actually, I was just caught up in the moment!”

“That’s not acceptable either, once it’s said, it must be done!” Lin Xue’er bit her teeth.

“You little brat, are you asking for a spanking!” Ye Chen suddenly stood up, then lifted Lin Xue’er across his arms and pressed her down on the sofa.

Lin Xue’er let out a cry of surprise, looking at Ye Chen in horror.

Just a moment ago, it was all in jest, but now he was turning into a beast.

Which of his words were true?

Ye Chen kissed her directly, forcefully prying open Lin Xue’er’s unguarded teeth and sucking out her slippery tongue.

Ye Chen savored Lin Xue’er’s tongue.

She was shocked for a moment and quickly struggled.

Ye Chen took off Lin Xue’er’s T-shirt, then unclipped her bra, all of it so sudden and rough that Lin Xue’er was completely unprepared.

“Oh God, Ye Chen, stop it!” Lin Xue’er quickly shouted.

“Heh heh, didn’t you offer yourself to me?” With a cold smile, Ye Chen latched onto Lin Xue’er’s bud, then gently bit it with his teeth, causing a sharp pain.

Ye Chen didn’t end his tease there.

Instead, he flipped up Lin Xue’er’s skirt, revealing a pair of white underwear.

With a grin, Ye Chen simply tugged the underwear aside to reveal that mysterious area, with its twin flower hearts, budding…

“Ah!” Lin Xue’er gasped and quickly rolled off the sofa, hurriedly putting her pants back on and fixing her clothes.

Ye Chen sat on the sofa, watching the silly Little Ni with great interest.

She actually dared to throw herself at him.

If he didn’t scare her properly, how would she know how formidable he really was?

Lin Xue’er looked resentfully at Ye Chen, as if blaming him for not understanding the concept of cherishing women, of not knowing how to be gentle with others.

Clenching her teeth, Lin Xue’er said, “It’s…

too late, I…

I need to get back!”

“Okay, I’ll walk you out!” Ye Chen chuckled.

“No, no need!” Lin Xue’er was quite frightened by Ye Chen’s behavior just now—his malevolence, his ferocity, his beastliness had suddenly replaced his formerly gentle demeanor.

Lin Xue’er hurriedly ran out.

Before leaving, she said to Ye Chen, “I will return your clothes to you!”

“Forget it, just consider them a gift!” Ye Chen laughed heartily, watching Lin Xue’er rush out, and Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile.

After Lin Xue’er closed the door, she leaned against it, gasping for air, as her heart had been racing madly just moments ago.

Thankfully, Lin Xue’er managed to keep her emotions in check, preventing an outburst.

Now thinking back, she realized that Ye Chen was just trying to scare her; after all, with Ye Chen’s abilities, if he had really wanted to do anything to her, she wouldn’t have been able to escape his grasp.

At this thought, Lin Xue’er stamped her foot and pouted, leaving Xin Hai Apartment.

The next day was Liu Jiangqiu’s funeral, with government officials of varying ranks from Jianghuai City, led by Jiang Zhonggen, in attendance.

Death is significant, and at such times, hostilities should be laid to rest—even if the deceased was an enemy in life, old scores should be settled in death.

Thus, many of Liu Jiangqiu’s rivals attended his funeral, including Jiang Zhonggen and his close associates.

Liu Jiangqiu was cremated, leaving no surviving family members.

There was not a single heir left.

On the day of Liu Jiangqiu’s burial, Ye Chen also attended the funeral and placed a chrysanthemum on his grave, then sighed, “In your next life, be a good person, and for God’s sake, don’t be an official.”

“Even if you become an official, you have to choose the right side!” Jiang Zhonggen chuckled nearby.

With Liu Jiangqiu’s burial, everything concerning him had come to an end.

Li Ruo had been worried and frightened for nearly a week because of what happened last time.

During that week, Li Ruo felt a wave of fear every day when entering the parking garage.

If it weren’t for Captain Cao walking in front, she probably wouldn’t dare go to the underground parking lot.

One day in August, the weather in Jianghuai City was relatively cool, being a coastal city, with the sea breeze making it a comfortable place, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Ye Chen, with a bunch of roses in his arms, hurried toward Tianya Group, muttering to himself in annoyance that it was nearly afternoon and he had just received the flowers.

It seemed the flower company was quite busy on Qixi Festival.

After receiving the flowers, Ye Chen rushed toward Tianya Group; today, he planned to surprise Li Ruo.

As he entered Tianya Group with the flowers, Lin Ziwen walked out of the elevator, carrying several bouquets.

Seeing Ye Chen, Lin Ziwen curiously asked, “Ye Chen, what are you up to?”

“Oh, I’m here to deliver flowers!” Ye Chen grinned, looking at Lin Ziwen, “Yo, Assistant Lin, you’ve received so many flowers too?”

“Not me; these are all for Mr.

Li!” Lin Ziwen smiled, saying, “Hurry up, or else Mr.

Li might walk off with someone else if you’re too late!”

“No way, really?” Ye Chen was startled.

“What’s so surprising?

Others have been sending flowers and chocolates since early morning!” At this, Lin Ziwen gave Ye Chen a glance and said, “But you, it’s already afternoon.

You are just coming now, and you’ve brought only a few flowers.

Look at how many they’ve sent?”

Ye Chen chuckled and said, “Mr.

Li doesn’t have your taste—she cares about who’s sending the flowers, not how many!”

“Alright, you’ve got a point.

Go on then, I’ll distribute these flowers amongst the little beauties in the company!” Lin Ziwen smiled.

Hearing this, the little beauties who approached exclaimed, “Sister Ziwen, quickly give me a few!”

The men pursuing Li Ruo were either rich or powerful.

Each one smoothly presentable, so their flowers were mostly flown in or imported roses, not like Ye Chen’s roses which probably arrived yesterday or were kept and watered for days, just to be sold off crazily today for Qixi.

Ye Chen, holding the flowers, went upstairs and found several men lingering in Li Ruo’s office, each treating Li Ruo with understated warmth.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was inflamed with anger—damn it, how infuriating, knowing full well Xiao Ruo was his, yet they dared to compete with him for her.

Ye Chen immediately went in, pushed past the two suit-clad men blocking his view, stepped forward, and presented the flowers to Li Ruo, “Xiao Ruo, happy Valentine’s Day!”

Li Ruo was still dealing with the men before her when a bouquet of flowers suddenly arrived in front of her.

Then, spotting the two heads peeking out from behind the flowers, she was taken aback, but as soon as she recognized Ye Chen, her eyes revealed a glint of surprise.

However, she feigned annoyance and said, “Hmph, what time is it, and you’re only bringing the flowers now?”
