Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!

The apartment belonged to a high-end residential area, and the land was not cheap.

She remembered the emerald her daddy had sent from miles away when he married mommy, as well as the prominent lawyer he had arranged for her from abroad... Jiayi was convinced that Brother Yixiao’s financial situation might be even better than she had imagined.

That was also true.

She was worrying over nothing.

To think that Brother Yixiao had become destitute after leaving the ism organization... She was simply foolish.

A person of Brother Yixiao’s talents would always have the capabilities to lead an elite life, no matter when or where.

However, she noticed that Brother Yixiao’s lungs had not completely recovered after he was shot.

During the days in the apartment, she occasionally heard him coughing.

This was something he had never had before.

Brother Yixiao used to be in great health and rarely even caught a cold.

She knew, just like the doctors had said, that the gunshot wound had always left aftereffects on him, weakening his constitution.

Unable to hold back, she asked him about it one day, and Nie Yixiao just smiled faintly, reassuring her that it was too soon, that there was always a recovery period, and he would be fine in some time.

She didn’t say much, only silently heated up a cup of milk every night before he went to his bedroom to rest, and brought it to him.

These past few days, Jiayi had been on the phone with mommy.

As she expected.

The very night she was taken away from the detention center, Huo Zhenyang didn’t receive her, so he immediately drove to Green Island Garden.

By that time, Nie Yixiao had already called Xia Tingxuan.

But Xia Tingxuan was angry with him at the moment, so how could she tell him, slamming the door in his face instead.

She knew that even if she didn’t remind them, daddy and mommy wouldn’t tell him where she was.

The days rushed by.

Apart from missing Zaizai, there wasn’t much else.

Nie Yixiao had temporarily hired a live-in housekeeper to look after her daily life.

Every day, Nie Yixiao would go out, taking his lawyer to meet with Chu Yanhan to discuss the lawsuit.

He would not return until evening.

With Jiayi temporarily staying at Yixiao’s place, Chu Yanhan and Xia Tingxuan felt assured. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Especially Xia Tingxuan, who had almost watched Nie Yixiao grow up, knew him through and through, and understood that he would take care of her daughter.

To speak frankly, she was quite eager for Jiayi to spend more time with Nie Yixiao, hoping it would improve her state of mind.

Regarding the pregnancy, Jiayi had not let Brother Yixiao tell mommy and daddy.

This matter was already troublesome enough for her alone.

She didn’t want to have them worrying about what to do as well.

This morning, just after getting up, Jiayi was rushed to the restroom by a wave of nausea and began to vomit heavily.

Within just a few days, her morning sickness had become more pronounced.

She could clearly feel the child growing inside her with each passing day.

After she was done, she stood up and washed her face.

Hearing the commotion, the nanny had already entered her bedroom and was knocking on the bathroom door:

"Miss Chu, are you all right?"

On her first day, the nanny had been strictly instructed by Nie Yixiao to take good care of Jiayi.

The elderly nanny, in her fifties, was a domestic helper from a small town near Yunling, honest and reliable, unaware of the young lady’s former status.

Knowing that Miss Chu seemed to be pregnant, the nanny did not dare to be negligent.

Jiayi walked out of the restroom, "I’m fine. I feel much better after throwing up."

"Don’t force yourself, Miss Chu. Mr. Nie has instructed me to take you to the nearby hospital if you feel very uncomfortable," the nanny said.

Jiayi replied, "Really, I’m okay. I’ll go downstairs for a walk and breathe some fresh air. It might make me feel better."

The nanny hurriedly said, "Then you wait a moment, I will take the soup off the stove and accompany you."

These past few days, Mr. Nie had told her to prepare several nutritious soups to help stabilize Miss Chu’s pregnancy.

In fact, the nanny could see that Miss Chu and Mr. Nie were not husband and wife, not even lovers.

Clearly, the child Miss Chu was carrying was not Mr. Nie’s.

But Mr. Nie still took great care of Miss Chu.

Every time, the way Mr. Nie looked at Miss Chu, nearly made the fifty-year-old nanny’s heart overflow with girlish sentiment.

Alas, what a pity, such a deeply affectionate, handsome and wealthy man, yet he was in love with a woman carrying another man’s child.

Seeing the nanny was still busy, Jiayi said, "No need, I’ll just go downstairs myself. I’ll just take a short walk nearby. I’ll be back in no more than ten minutes."

"Why don’t you wait for Mr. Nie to come back and go together? Mr. Nie went out with the lawyer this morning, and judging by the time, he should be back soon." The nanny was still worried.

"No need, I might just bump into Brother Yixiao on my way down. You go ahead with your work."

With that, Jiayi left the house.

Today, the sky was clear, and the sunshine was splendid.

The environment near the apartment was very pleasant, fresh air brushed by, and the view was filled with lush greenery.

Jiayi felt much more comfortable.

Having strolled around for a while, and seeing it getting late, Jiayi, worried that Nie Yixiao would be anxious if he returned and found her absent, turned back toward the apartment.

Just as she reached the entrance of the apartment building, she halted in her tracks.

A black Maybach Zeppelin with silver accents was quietly parked at the bottom of the stairs.

Parked beneath the tall French plane trees on both sides, it looked like a regal monarch in disguise, mingling incognito among his subjects.

The car window was half-open, revealing the seldom-seen side profile of a man, emanating an iron-like cold luster.

She had known he would come looking for her, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Instinctively, Jiayi turned around and hurried away, just as she had dodged him outside the police station a few days earlier.

George stood by the car, having spotted Jiayi at first glance: "Young Madam—"

That address hastened her steps.

Like a devil chasing her from behind, she fled without choosing her path.

Because she was moving so hastily, she misstepped, and her entire body lunged forward—

Suddenly, the collar of her coat was seized with force and yanked up hard.

The man who had been chasing her from behind held her tightly by the waist and pulled her into his arms, bringing her face up close to his, and her gaze collided with his pair of dark, frost-laden eyes, deep and inscrutable.

"Still trying to run? Where do you plan to go?"

His voice was low and gravelly, charged with sparks, ready to explode, as if he could crush the little woman in his embrace at any moment.

The day he went to pick her up from the police station, she had run away.

The Chu family wouldn’t even answer his calls, let alone tell him.

He could force his opponent with a gun, but if he were to threaten Chu Yanhan and Xia Tingxuan, he reckoned this little woman would hate him to death. He had no choice but to send people to search on his own.

He knew she was still on bail and couldn’t leave Yunling. After searching the entire city, he finally found her.

Yet, upon her first sight of him, she had run away again!

Was he a devil in her eyes now?

Did she despise him that much?

The familiar scent and warmth of his body seeped through the fabric in waves, causing her to shiver under his firm grip.

In the small cell of the detention center, she had longed for his embrace, longing to be enveloped by his presence like this.

But now, she no longer needed it.

Her mind calmed, she did not struggle or push him away.

She was too familiar with his character and temper.

Resistance would only excite the man and make him more aggressive and unrelenting.
