Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 423 - 421: Don’t Say You Don’t Know Me, Xiaoyi

Chapter 423: Chapter 421: Don’t Say You Don’t Know Me, Xiaoyi

Zaizai had grown so much, yet this was the first night he wasn’t by her side. He couldn’t sleep without her telling him a story every night; she wondered if he would be restless.

Thinking of this, Jiayi felt a bit concerned. She picked up her cell phone and said to Ade, "Ade, may I find a quiet place to make a call?" It was too noisy here. If Mummy heard it over the phone, she would reveal their location.

Ade asked, "Miss Chu, are you going to call Zaizai?"

She nodded, "I just want to check if he has gone to sleep. He has never been away from me for a single day."

Ade spoke in a reasonably relaxed tone, "Alright, Miss Chu, go and come back quickly. I think Mr. Huo should be almost done talking over there. If he sees you wandering around, I’m afraid he won’t be pleased."

"Mmm," Jiayi nodded repeatedly. Zaizai was right, even Ade had a softer heart than that man.

She made her way through the crowd and into the cabin along the deck, descended several steps, and found a small kitchen. It was deserted here, much quieter!

She dialed the home number, "Mummy, yes, I’m still at work... No issue, I’m not tired. Mmm, has Zaizai gone to sleep yet?... Good, that’s good then, you all don’t wait up for me..."

Meanwhile, outside the small kitchen below the deck, a wavering and handsome silhouette staggered down the stairs.

The young man, probably in his early twenties, had a handsome face slightly flushed with intoxication, as if he had just been drinking on the deck, his steps unsteady.

Next to him, a flirty bikini-clad bombshell was helping him down the steps, cooing as she assisted, "... Young Master Yao, how about I accompany you to your room to rest? I’ve just learned authentic four-finger massage in Thailand, would you like to try it?"

Shangguan Yao steadied the bikini-clad woman after descending the stairs, stood firm, and chuckled lightly. He lifted his hand to hook the woman’s chin, wrenching it over forcefully.

The man’s breath, laced with alcohol, rushed at her, and the bikini bombshell’s heart raced with excitement only to hear the man’s dismissive voice at her ear,

"What? You want to climb into my bed? You—this kind of merchandise, doesn’t catch the eye of me, Shangguan Yao. Get lost!"

The bikini-clad woman’s face blanched at the rebuke.

It was well-known that the only son of the Shangguan Group, Young Master Yao, was infamous for his playboy ways. From studying in H City in the north to overseeing the family’s operations and venturing into entertainment businesses after graduation, women came and went from his life, yet he had no official girlfriend.

Today, Shangguan Yao’s presence at the yacht party naturally captured the attention of many women.

Who wouldn’t want to become the daughter-in-law of the largest business family in the northern commerce circle? The southern Huos and the northern Shangguans, the two titans of the Chinese business world.

Since the young Huo from the south went to America, he hadn’t returned to China in four years, and his business focus had also shifted to America, making it difficult to get close to him.

That left only the young master of the Shangguan family.

The female guests were thrilled at the thought, and all evening, they flocked around Shangguan Yao, adoring him like stars around the moon.

Shangguan Yao indeed lived up to his legend, welcoming all comers, allowing beauties to hand him drinks and occasionally laughing and cursing among the crowd of women, behaving every bit like the flamboyant young master he was reputed to be.

This bikini-clad woman had managed to follow him, dismissing her rivals as he seemed to be quite drunk, secretly trailing after him, aiming to get further ahead. She didn’t expect Shangguan Yao to suddenly turn hostile and humiliate her!

The bikini-clad woman snorted, stamped her foot, and turned upstairs.

Having sent the bikini woman away, Shangguan Yao loosened his collar, swayed slightly, and with heavy steps headed toward his room inside the cabin. As he was passing by the small kitchen, he overheard a voice drifting into his ears—

"Yes, Mummy, okay, then there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up... Yeah, if my supervisor sees me making a personal call, he will scold me, I won’t say more. Alright, that’s it then, bye."

Though the voice wasn’t loud, it echoed clearly beneath the silent cabin.

That voice... it was so familiar...

Shangguan Yao’s heart pounded suddenly, as if it had been struck, sobering up halfway.

He stopped in time, leaned back slightly, and peered through the half-open glass window with his beautiful, bleary eyes.

The woman had just hung up the phone, picked up her mobile, turned around, and walked out of the small kitchen, heading for the stairs to go up to the upper deck.

In the moment she turned, her side profile was revealed.

Sweet facial features, a slender and delicate figure, eyes like clear springs, the kind that no matter the age, remain as tranquil as ever with a flawless determination.

Shangguan Yao rubbed his eyes, still not quite daring to believe it until the woman had climbed the stairs, nearly back on the deck, that he snapped to his senses, took a long stride, and hurried after her, grabbing her arm in one swift motion.

Jiayi was startled and turned around to see a man with a beautifully sculpted neck, his face flushed red and exuding a strong scent of alcohol, grasping her own.

"Who—who are you?" Jiayi exclaimed as she jerked her hand back, startled.

Seeing her face-to-face at close range made Shangguan Yao even more certain that he had not mistaken her for someone else due to his drunken state.

It was her, indeed it was her!

She didn’t recognize him?

It had only been four or five years, had she forgotten him? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shangguan Yao chuckled lightly, "Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me, Xiaoyi."

Jiayi widened her eyes, "What Qin classmate?"

"Enough, Qin Yi, how much longer will you pretend?"

"Qin... Yi? I’m sorry, sir, you have the wrong person." Jiayi stepped back, very wary of the seemingly profligate drunk man.

Mistaken identity? Impossible!

Shangguan Yao was getting anxious, and with alcohol influencing him, when he saw her walking away, he grabbed her hand again.

The man’s harassment only convinced Jiayi more that she had encountered a nuisant drunkard and a hoodlum!

She struggled, but this time Shangguan Yao’s grip was strong and tight, giving her no chance to break free.

In a moment of desperation, she bit down hard on his forearm. Seizing the moment when he retracted his hand in pain, she ran towards the deck.

Shangguan Yao followed her up, as the liveliness of the deck washed over him anew. However, that delicate figure had already vanished into the crowd without a trace!

He pushed through the people, finally spotting a white figure in his vision, overcome with joy, he hadn’t taken two steps before the world began to spin.

Already drunk, the running had agitated the liquor in his stomach even more, his head felt heavier, and the alcohol took over, causing Shangguan Yao to collapse with a thud to the ground!

"Ah, Young Master Yao has fainted—" a woman screamed upon seeing the fallen man.

People started to gather around.

A servant ran over, checked, and said, "It’s fine, it’s fine, he’s just had too much to drink."

Saying this, he and his colleague hoisted Shangguan Yao up and headed towards a room below deck on the yacht.

Jiayi only heard a cry from that direction, the crowd drew together, and she no longer saw the figure of the drunkard. Yet, from the faint murmurs of the conversation, she learned—

The drunkard was none other than the young master of the family hosting the event on this yacht—the Young Master Shangguan.

She let out a sigh of relief; just as she turned around and hadn’t yet steadied herself, her hand was seized, and she was pulled toward the railing of the yacht.
