Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 655 - 635 Is This Begging for Mercy?

The man’s aura was cold and powerful, making Jiayi forget the swollen lips from his recent kiss.

"You know, don’t you?" she slowly walked over to him, stopping a step or two away, restraining the tremor in her voice.

She had been too optimistic.

On the day Auntie Li brought the soup, he must have already known about it.

Having suppressed it until now, his anger must have multiplied a hundredfold, right?

She shivered involuntarily, shuddering from the chill.

He lifted his inscrutable, dark eyes to look at her with a chilling intent, suddenly yanking her collar and pulling her toward him, "You could betray me for an old flame, why the fear now?"

She felt like a small prey waiting for the hunter’s decision, pulled right before his eyes, up against his proud and handsome nose, feeling his furious hot breath attack her, causing goosebumps to rise, and she quickly lowered her stance, "Husband, I didn’t."

No matter what, she had to extinguish his fire first.

This man was truly terrifying every time he was enraged.

But obviously, this time the word "husband" was of no use.

His fingers didn’t loosen by half an inch.

Husband? Hah, is that a plea for mercy?

Calling him husband now has no meaning whatsoever!

He watched her coldly, her little face losing all its color from nervousness and fear, deathly pale, and her big almond eyes flickered with a watery sheen.

Did this woman exhibit the same coquettish demeanor with her old lover?

The thought made his anger surge even more, the force in his fingertips intensifying, creaking loudly — had it been anyone else, he might have crushed their neck bones to death.

He simply didn’t know how he had endured these past three days.

Upon learning about Nie Yixiao, he hadn’t confronted her right away, firstly because he wanted to find Nie Yixiao first, and secondly because he feared that in his rage he might hurt her.

That’s why he gave himself three days to cool down.

But even now, after three days, the anger in his heart showed no signs of abating.

"Not involved? Nie Yixiao came into my room, tampered with my computer, and gathered information from it, and you covered for him, and you call that not being involved?" his voice grew increasingly chill.

She bit her lip, barely able to withstand his fury, "I told you, I wasn’t involved. If you don’t want to listen to my explanation, there’s nothing I can do."

He tried his best to contain his rage, his deep eyes working to extinguish the flames of anger, but his tone still contained a hint of a cold laugh, "Speak." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"That night, I had no idea why he was here. He came upstairs to say goodbye to me, drugged my tea, and I passed out for a while. When I woke up, I saw him on your computer, and only then did I realize he was investigating you." She held her breath, speaking slowly, word by word.

His gaze grew heavier.

He knew she hadn’t lied to him; she had long been aware of his private dealings with Ya Chen. If she truly wanted to help Nie Yixiao, she wouldn’t have waited until their wedding night.

Drugging his woman? Nie Yixiao! How daring!

Though his mood was not as furious as before, his complexion was still ashen, "You let him go."

Seeing his gaze soften slightly, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I made a deal with him. I asked him not to turn in the evidence, and he promised me."

His gaze turned even colder and bottomless, "He gave you his word and you believed him?"

"We grew up together from childhood; I know his character very well."

"You know exactly what kind of person he is? He dumped you to complete a mission, got together with your elder sister, and you were completely deceived by him. Have you forgotten all that in just four years?"

She was left speechless by his accusation, but still managed to say, "Anyway, regarding this matter, since he has promised me, he won’t deceive me, and there’s no need for him to. Don’t worry, no matter what evidence he finds on you, he won’t hand it over."

He laughed in extreme anger.

In this young woman’s heart, Nie Yixiao, her first love, was still the most trustworthy man after all.

Indeed.

The affection of being childhood friends for over a decade or two had become more than just old lovers; they were more like family now.

Although she had not exactly betrayed him, she ultimately chose to protect Nie Yixiao and hide it from him.

Perhaps that night, her only concern was whether Nie Yixiao would be caught red-handed by her, without worrying about the risk of being reported by Nie Yixiao herself!

He leaned close to her delicate earlobe, his breath hot with indignation, whispering behind her neck, "That night, were you so enthusiastic and proactive because of Nie Yixiao?"

She hesitated briefly, her face turning slightly red, "I just didn’t want the two of you to clash."

Despite the brief hesitation, he had already felt a chill in his heart, "You were afraid that I would catch him on the spot and harm him, weren’t you?"

Even if she had pleaded with Nie Yixiao for his sake, the naked truth was that at the bottom of her heart, she still cared very much for her old flame, fearing that Nie Yixiao would not come to harm!

She did not answer him; she knew that this matter had touched the most untouchable dragon scale on him.

No matter what her intentions were, she was well aware that knowing Nie Yixiao was investigating him without telling him, and helping Nie Yixiao escape, was enough to enrage him immensely.

She didn’t know how to explain, for explaining to someone who was furious would only make things worse.

After a while, she pursed her lips tightly, unable to move because he was gripping her collar, and turned her cheek away, "Let’s talk when you’ve calmed down."

She’s grown up! Starting to play tai chi with him!

His anger soared even higher, his eyes nearly changing color, "If I weren’t calm, do you think you’d still be standing here fine?"

She gritted her teeth, "What are you implying, Mr. Huo? Do you want to drive me out? Divorce? Or perhaps just toss me into the sea? Sure, with your power, nothing would be surprising!"

He sneered, gripping her chin, "Divorce? You wish. Then you could just conveniently go back to your old lover, right? I’ve said, even in death you must die in my arms. As for your old lover, don’t worry, after I find him, I’ll at least let you know how he died."

She was startled, no longer trying to challenge him, "Huo Zhenyang, what are you planning to do?"

His eyes held a chilling gleam, "That will have to wait until I find him and see how I feel then."

With that, he released his grip and stood up from the sofa.

"Where are you going?" Jiayi, seeing him turn to leave, asked instinctively.

He tightened his hold on her jaw, "Do you still remember what you said to me at dawn that day?"

She was momentarily confused; in the fireworks before dawn, she had promised him not to hide anything from him...

But she had broken her promise just after getting married.

He released his fingers, strode toward the bedroom door.

She stood there dazed for a moment, only to hear the maid’s voice, "Is the young master going out again?"

"Mm," came the man’s deep voice.

After a while, the sound of an engine starting echoed from the courtyard outside.
