Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 735 - 715: This Feeling of Sour and Refreshing

Chapter 735: Chapter 715: This Feeling of Sour and Refreshing

She leaned down, and her black hair like ink spilled onto his forearm.

Her eyes were like stars, and her red lips were seductive; the abundance within her V-neck stimulated his gaze.

A fire spread through his body in an instant, leaving him restless.

In fact, he had only intended to tease her a little just now, to see how far her timidity would take her. He wasn’t prepared to get serious.

After she flirted to this extent, if he didn’t reciprocate, he would be greatly disrespecting her fervor tonight.

Her rare coquettish passion indeed disturbed his thoughts and plans.

He grabbed a handful of her hair, his hoarse voice burning with desire as he brought his mouth close to her ear: "Are you trying to grind me to death, baby?"

Grind you to death? Why would I do that?

But before dying from exhaustion, she’d need to give him a child first...

She wrapped her arms around his neck, staring at him blankly with her naive and shimmering eyes.

Her gaze almost drove him to the brink of collapse. He lowered the seat back, panting, and let her small hands fumble to unbuckle his belt.

...

When she climbed off of his body, she was drenched in sweat and utterly exhausted.

It felt as if she had overpowered him.

She had thought she would feel unbearably ashamed, but unexpectedly—

The taste was...bittersweet satisfaction.

If she were to get pregnant tonight, losing her dignity or being shameless...it would all be worth it.

After completing her mission, she heaved a sigh, almost as if all she needed then was a cigarette after the fact. Huo Zhenyang saw that very clearly. He propped his arms behind his head and huffed discontentedly.

Her expression was one of triumph, having used him and succeeded. Couldn’t her intentions of treating him like a stud be any more obvious?

It was only then that she came to her senses, noticing his displeasure. She stuck out her tongue and quickly adjusted her demeanor.

Although this time, she had gotten her way...

Whether or not she would actually get pregnant was still uncertain.

If she failed, there would have to be a next time.

She couldn’t afford to irritate him so soon.

After the press conference for the endorsement of Zuanshi Jewelry, Su Yan’s work in Yunling increased as she went to Haodu Building daily to manage the newly acquired companies.

Having re-entered Huo Group and assisting Huo Zhenyang with official matters, Jiayi didn’t expect her to leave in the short term.

Anyway, she had a long-term suite booked in the hotel and didn’t stay at Disheng. Out of sight, out of mind.

As long as she didn’t bring up Zaizai going to America again, Jiayi couldn’t be bothered to compete with Su Yan for attention.

It was Auntie Li who occasionally reported back that Su Yan and Xiaolei were growing increasingly close.

They were either shopping together or having meals and chatting.

To anyone observing, they could be mistaken for sisters.

Jiayi was indifferent; if they were like sisters, so be it.

As long as they didn’t cross her, even if they were mother and daughter, it was none of her concern.

Ever since that night, her attention had been fixated on her stomach, checking every other day, waiting for the day when two lines would appear on the pregnancy test stick—and that would settle it.

So every time Auntie Li complained, Jiayi would just offer a faint smile and say nothing.

That day, Jiayi had been to a bridal shop during the day, and on the way back, she rushed upstairs with a new pregnancy test she had just bought, eager to unwrap and use it.

Generally speaking, if one has become pregnant after intercourse, it would take about a week to ten days for a positive result to show up on a pregnancy test.

Yesterday was the tenth day, but the pregnancy test still only showed one line.

She thought this attempt had failed and was quite disappointed, feeling downcast all night.

But today, on her way home, she couldn’t help but stop by the pharmacy again to buy another one and casually chat with the cashier.

The cashier said that everyone is different, some can detect it within a week, and others might take up to three weeks or even longer.

Sometimes, even if you’re pregnant, it could be too soon to be detected.

The cashier told her to wait a few more days and try again; the red line might become more obvious.

Hearing the cashier say this, Jiayi’s hope was reignited.

As soon as she returned to the villa, she couldn’t wait to rush upstairs to the restroom, but Auntie Li caught sight of her coming back and pulled her aside to vent a few complaints.

It was still about Su Yan and Xiaolei.

Apparently, the two went to a club for a beauty treatment yesterday, looking very intimate, and it seemed they were going to a yacht party for some clients together tonight.

Xiaolei had become the center of attention these days, and with paparazzi always on his tail, the two were snapped together, which explained how Auntie Li knew.

After listening, Jiayi responded the same way as before, "Oh, I see."

Seeing how nonchalant she was, Auntie Li couldn’t help but add, "Madam, what I mean is that you should be more vigilant. I reckon Su Yan’s intent in getting close to Xiaolei is not simple; it’s clear she wants Xiaolei to get closer to the young master and to embarrass you. You should be more cautious and on guard."

She couldn’t help but laugh dismissively, "Guard against what?"

"Against our Miss Su, of course! Su Yan is now involved in the company, dealing with several acquisition projects, and Xiaolei is the new spokesperson she’s just secured. If she wants to push Xiaolei closer to the young master and encourage their intimacy, there will be plenty of opportunities, and all for seemingly legitimate reasons. The young master can’t easily refuse. Didn’t you notice? A few days ago, Su Yan invited the subcontractors from Zuanshi Jewelry for a networking dinner and asked the young master to join, then brought Xiaolei along. We can expect more of this in the future..."

A glint flashed in Jiayi’s eyes as she forced a smile, "What’s yours won’t go away without guarding, and what’s not yours, you can’t keep even with guard. What could possibly happen? He’s a man; is he afraid that a woman will overpower him? Okay, Auntie Li, go about your business, I have things to do."

Auntie Li found her reasoning solid upon hearing it.

And seeing her rush upstairs as soon as she got home, something she’s been doing for the past few days, Auntie Li refrained from nagging any further.

Watching Auntie Li’s figure receding, Jiayi stood still, lost in thought for a long while without moving.

Although she spoke with ease and comfort, she couldn’t figure out why her heart still tightened slightly.

She tried hard to suppress the unease in her heart, not allowing herself to dwell on it, and went upstairs.

Once in the restroom, she tore open the foil packaging of the pregnancy test strip and proceeded just as adeptly as she had a few days earlier.

Minutes later, she stepped out of the restroom, her expression betraying a hint of disappointment.

On the pregnancy test, there was still just one line.

The second red line she had long anticipated, did not appear.

Perhaps, the attempt to conceive really did fail this time.

Sigh—

She knew that position in the car—wasn’t the most likely to result in pregnancy.

Distracted by wild thoughts, she could only resign herself to fate.

We’ll see what happens in the future.

Darkness fell early today.

Time flew by, and dinner time arrived.

Zaizai was picked up from kindergarten.

Usually, by this time, he should be nearly home.

However, today he was running late.

Jiayi watched cartoons with Zaizai on the sofa until the sky grew much darker.

Zaizai began rubbing his little belly, crying out from hunger, and Jiayi told Auntie Li to take Zaizai to the dining table for dinner first.

Just then, the phone rang. She answered it; it was George.

"Madam, today Mr. Lin from Green Land is hosting a yacht party and has invited several executives from the group. The Boss went directly to the harbor after coming out of the city hall and might come back late. The mobile signal is not very good there; he asked me to call you to let you and Zaizai know not to wait for him and to have dinner first."
