Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 151 - 149: The Most Unforgettable New Year’s Eve
He was actually worried that she’d be crying in a corner on the lively New Year’s Eve because she felt lonely and sad?
Hah.
That was just too laughable. The little lady was living even better than he was.
His brows furrowed, "Do I need to have a reason to contact you?"
Jiayi fell silent. Wasn’t that the case? Nowadays, the occasions when she met him, it was basically just for... that.
Now that he was a thousand miles away in G City and couldn’t complete the remaining tasks in the contract, what was the purpose of his call?
But she couldn’t say this to him.
"No," she mumbled.
After not seeing him for more than half a month, she couldn’t just annoy him with a single phone call. With his temper, it was entirely possible he’d fly over and drag her out of the Liang Family’s house.
She softened her tone a bit and added, "Have you returned to G City? The company must be keeping you busy."
The displeasure in his features eased slightly, "Hmm, still in G City. There’s a tricky business matter I need to handle personally. I probably won’t be back in H City until next week."
"There’s no rush. Business is important," she said offhandedly.
The look on his face, which had just relaxed, darkened again. Was she afraid of him coming to H City?
Seeing that he was silent, Jiayi immediately realized she’d said the wrong thing and pursed her lips, "I didn’t mean it like that..."
"So you do want me to come over quickly?" he scoffed.
This damn man, asking so bluntly—how could she say no? She was forced to nod her little head, "Mhm... I want you to come over quickly."
Although she sounded insincere, as if the words were forced out under threat, Zhenyang was still pleased. Just then, an assistant came in to pass some documents, opening the door, "Boss..."
Zhenyang, holding the phone, looked up and gestured with a hand, signaling to discuss any business matters later.
Seeing that the Boss was on a call, the assistant quickly kept quiet, carefully placed the documents on the desk, and left.
Though it was a brief disturbance, Jiayi heard it and asked subconsciously, "Are you still in the office?"
"Hmm."
Working in the office on New Year’s Eve seemed tiring.
A feeling stirred in her for no reason: "Aren’t you going back to Huo Garden to have dinner with the old man? He might feel lonely on New Year’s Eve..."
His facial muscles tightened slightly before collapsing instantly.
It was the old man who had sent her away, yet she still defended him so. This could only mean—
She was very willing to leave him and was very grateful to the old man.
The last bit of tenderness in his heart shattered like bursting bubbles!
His face instantly darkened, and he cut her off, "Enough, don’t you want to know why I called?"
Jiayi’s breath hitched, "What do you want to do."
The change in his tone revealed that he was extremely displeased.
Where had she provoked him now?
Zhenyang gave his cold command, "Turn on the video call, I want to see you."
He wanted to see her? Jiayi hesitated briefly before turning on the video call and raising her phone towards her face.
As the delicate silhouette appeared on the screen, Zhenyang’s gaze softened slightly.
The little thing seemed to have just showered, her fluffy hair was drenched, and the strands were dotted with glistening droplets, as if he could smell the faint scent of her.
And importantly, she was only draped in a white bath towel.
Jiayi could feel his intense gaze. Before turning on the video, she hadn’t realized she was only wearing that. She was now acutely aware.
How embarrassing... She quickly tightened her hold on the bath towel.
Was it the transition from a green and tender girl into a woman that was the difference? The little maid already had quite the assets, and now they were at least ECUP, which really didn’t match her small and delicate frame.
An Eastern face, serene and sweet, paired with a Western bombshell body, was just the perfect combination.
His eyes deepened, and he suddenly said in a cold voice, "Take it off."
She was startled. "..."
"Do I need to say it again?"
The little one’s face turned crimson in an instant; this man—was indeed a big, perverted, freak!
Even thousands of miles away, he wouldn’t let her off!
What a lecher!
Huo Zhenyang could tell just by looking at her small expression that she was probably cursing him a thousand and eight hundred times over in her head.
The more she did that, the more pleasurable it felt. Who told this little one to be so cold to him just now?!
Before he made the call, he didn’t have this intention at all. It was she who suddenly kindled his anger.
He sneered coldly, continuing to coerce her, "Is it because I currently can’t help you take it off?"
She bit her lip, swallowing down the word ’shameless’ with all her might. "I don’t want to..."
This was even more shameful than sleeping with him, leading her to refuse him for the first time within the contract period.
He raised an eyebrow. "This time it could count as canceling one task, how about that?"
Really? Jiayi’s almond-shaped eyes widened. If it really was so... it seemed like a rather good deal.
After all, it was just taking off clothes in front of a video call, letting him in another city take a look; it wouldn’t cause her to lose a piece of flesh. It was much better than being tormented by him.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she let go, and the big bath towel slipped down.
Too embarrassed to look at him, she looked down, her wet, black hair falling and covering half of her little face.
After letting his eyes feast on ice cream for over fifteen minutes, she pursed her lips. "Is it done yet?"
Suddenly, she sneezed, although there was heating in the room. Having just finished showering, and not having dried off completely, she still felt a bit chilly.
She couldn’t help but hug her arms, making a gesture to warm herself.
He paused, his brows furrowing, "That’s enough." She hurriedly wrapped herself up.
After hanging up the call, Jiayi held her phone for a long time before coming back to reality, letting out a wry smile.
This New Year’s Eve would probably be one she would never forget in her lifetime.
But at least she had cancelled out one task!
Well, it was quite worth it.
----
The joyful holiday passed by in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to return to school, and the season for warm spring and blooming flowers had arrived.
In the morning, Jiayi and Liang Anya were sent to school early by Uncle De, the driver.
After depositing her luggage in the dormitory, Jiayi excitedly went to the classroom.
The classroom of Design Class Three was very quiet early in the morning, not a soul in sight.
As she walked in, unsurprisingly, Su Yan had already arrived early for self-study.
With difficult circumstances, Su Yan’s college tuition was covered by social donations and scholarships, so she was always hardworking, being the earliest to the classroom every day.
Su Yan, delighted at Jiayi’s arrival, pulled her over excitedly.
The two of them warmly exchanged greetings, then proceeded to share and admire the contest pieces they had prepared over the holiday.
Su Yan, who had always been an excellent student, didn’t disappoint with her competition submission; the quality was consistently high as expected.
While Jiayi was feeling envious, Su Yan had already unfurled Jiayi’s drawings and looked at them, her eyes lighting up with amazement. "Xiaoyi, you’re being modest. Your concept for the bedroom is very unique. If this doesn’t win an award, the judges must be blind!"
Below the design was the name of the piece: The Abode of the Unexpected.
The word "abode" represented a place where mankind was naturally meant to reside.
