Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 639 - 619: Challenging His Temper Limits

She didn’t know if she was intimidated by his tone, but Jiayi couldn’t smile anymore, not expecting him to be so serious.

However, when Mommy was knocking on the door outside just now, it seemed that there really was a bit of that feeling...

Her mind inappropriately recalled the dates she had with Nie Yixiao in the small town.

Nie Yixiao would wait for her at the gate, on his bicycle, as soon as he got out of school early.

Back then, although neither of them had openly expressed their feelings, there was already some dim awareness of them.

She was older now and couldn’t ride carefree on his back like when she was a child; she was afraid of being seen by the teachers, making Nie Yixiao wait for her at the corner, then as soon as she left school, she would sneak onto the back of his bicycle like a thief.

Each time they neared her doorstep, her heart would pound furiously, fearing that Mommy might see, making Nie Yixiao stop tens of meters away from the door, before she would walk the rest of the way home alone.

But those moments, after all, were things of the past...

The boy in her vivid memories didn’t become her husband.

The one who became her husband was a man who was completely blurred in her memory.

Sometimes, the ironies of life are quite laughable.

...

Huo Zhenyang saw that she wasn’t speaking and knew what she was thinking about; she was surely associating him with Nie Yixiao.

He wasn’t angry; after all, it was he who had raised the question himself.

"What would you two do back then?"

His indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the room.

She was startled, not about to fall for his trick. If she upset him again, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

She played dumb: "Do what? I don’t understand what you are talking about."

"What would you and your first love, Nie Yixiao, usually do back then? Were you seeing each other every day? Or every few days? What did you usually do on dates?"

He didn’t mind making his inquiries more explicit, his tone had a few degrees of severity, and his fingertips intermittently caressed her chin, tightening their grip.

She was almost laughing through tears, helplessly: "We didn’t do much..."

"Tell me." His tone was domineering and sharp.

He wanted to listen.

He wanted to know her past.

Her delicate chin was in his grasp, feeling a sting, and she had to say: "It wasn’t like what you’re thinking. It’s not like we had dates every day. Brother Yixiao was very diligent, busy with his studies; how else could he have received acceptance notices from so many prestigious universities around the world in his teens? At most, he would wait for me at the school gate every day and give me a bicycle ride home."

The rides on the bicycle during their youth might really have become the most beautiful, yet forever unreachable time she had with Nie Yixiao.

In this, she truly hadn’t lied to him.

Frankly, she and Nie Yixiao back then were truly moved by emotion and acted with propriety, pure in every sense.

She was just a teenager at that time, naive and ignorant, and the small town didn’t have the information like big cities did regarding affairs between men and women, even more innocent.

Even though Nie Yixiao was a few years older than her, more worldly, he was very indulgent and accommodating to her, treating her like a flower in a greenhouse, never pressing her to do anything she didn’t want to do. Even when they were alone together, they were never too intimate.

His grip on her chin loosened slightly, catching the key point: "Riding a bicycle?"

"Mhm."

"I can’t." He raised his eyebrows, "How about I take you for a drive in a convertible one day? The feeling should be quite similar to that of a bicycle."

He had never ridden a bicycle, not even so much as touched one.

On his eighteenth birthday, upon receiving his first Ferrari, he started to get around on four wheels.

She finally understood what he was trying to do. Could it be he wanted to use this approach to replace Nie Yixiao’s place in her heart?

But—

I thought he could do anything, turns out he can’t even ride a bike. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

So full of himself.

"Are you laughing at me again?" He felt the slight movement of her body and frowned.

She suppressed her laughter, "How could a noble young master like you, born with a silver spoon, possibly ride a bike that’s for the ’DIAO’ class—"

He could tell that this wasn’t a compliment but disdain, his eyes narrowed as he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his chest, closing the distance between them instantly.

Her words stopped abruptly as she felt his hot breath on her, she took a deep breath, "Alright, alright. Let’s go for a drive in a convertible."

This man, sometimes he’s as domineering as a child.

Even more unreasonable than Zaizai during his naughty moments.

He expressed his satisfaction with her compliance through silence.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, she couldn’t help but remind him again, "It’s getting late."

In the middle of the night, sneaking over like this, the two of us are like having an affair, what kind of situation is this!

He wasn’t pleased with her repeatedly rushing him to leave, his eyes darkened, and with a tug at her waist, he made her fall into his arms, "About the compensation we agreed upon the other day, when are you going to pay it back?"

She had spoken carelessly, but he wasn’t senile; he remembered it all too clearly.

She was startled, then she remembered the matter she had brushed off before leaving the villa; her face warmed slightly, grateful that he couldn’t see in the pitch-black room, and she muttered, "What are you talking about."

This little woman was the best at playing dumb, but he wouldn’t allow her to, almost grinding his teeth as he said, "...Your ’daddy’ interrupted us last time, and I couldn’t sleep all night."

She understood what he meant, her face flushed, "You... can’t you handle it yourself?"

Psh, she didn’t believe there was a man in the world who couldn’t jerk off.

"So now you’re trying to back out, is that it?" The man’s voice was thick with annoyance.

"No... it’s just that today’s not good." If she woke up Mommy and Auntie Li, how could she have the face to live?

His gaze was icy.

Of course, he wasn’t insistent on being compensated that very night, he wasn’t that impatient.

It was just that this little woman’s attitude was making him very unsatisfied.

Anyway, she intended to keep dragging this matter indefinitely.

For the sake of her son, she compromised with him, agreeing to a civil marriage, and even upon Ya Chen’s request, tried to please him as much as possible...

But the final line of defense, the most intimate relationship between husband and wife, she couldn’t cross it, always feeling a kind of avoidance towards it.

Maybe deep down, she really hadn’t accepted him as her husband.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she hurriedly lowered her voice and softly asked, "Are you angry?"

The little woman’s voice was like a small bird’s.

He knew she was very afraid of him getting angry, just the other day she had been scared to tears.

The funny thing is, it was always her challenging the limits of his patience.

After a while, he managed to control his gloomy mood, released her, and without saying a word, headed towards the bedroom door.

She felt like he was really angry, wanting to stop him and appease him with a few words, but also afraid of waking Mommy. She watched him silently leave her bedroom.

Then, she heard an extremely faint door sound in the quiet of the night.

He had left.
