When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Lin Zhixia looked exhausted, her shoulders slumped. "What did you tell me?"

Seeing that she didn't care about what he said, Li Chengyuan was so angry that he kicked over a clean and shiny metal cigarette butt stick by the wall. He had completely lost the composure and dignity of the second young master of the Li family.

"I told you to come find me after you've finished comforting Xiaobao."

Lin Zhixia was bewildered by his sudden outburst of anger, and then she suddenly remembered what he had said in the yard that morning.

"I was too busy and forgot."

Those few words were like adding fuel to the fire for Li Chengyuan.

He grabbed Lin Zhixia's wrist and pulled her out. Lin Zhixia staggered as he dragged her into the car. He exuded a violent aura. Lin Zhixia felt a sharp pain in her wrist from his grip and frowned as she spoke.

"Li Chengyuan, let me go!"

Lin Zhixia tried to push open the car door with her other hand, but was blocked by Li Chengyuan's tall figure. He leaned down and placed both hands on the car door, completely covering her.

His voice was tinged with frost, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

"Fasten your seatbelt, or shall I help you?"

Lin Zhixia hurriedly waved her hand: "No...no need."

She bent down to fasten her seatbelt, sighed, and Li Chengyuan got into the driver's seat, shifted gears, and stepped on the gas pedal in one smooth motion.

Lin Zhixia secretly glanced at Li Chengyuan. The man's jaw was cold and hard, and his long, dark eyes were filled with a distant and aloof light. The upturned corners of his eyes were long and delicate, like they were carefully drawn with a fine brush.

Before Lin Zhixia could react, the car suddenly lurched forward, and Lin Zhixia instinctively gripped the seatbelt tightly.

Li Chengyuan had deep-set eyes and a gloomy expression. His long, slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, his movements relaxed yet highly controlled. The numbers on the dashboard jumped rapidly, and the black car resembled a cheetah.

The car weaved smoothly through the flow of traffic.

Lin Zhixia was so frightened by the speed that her face turned pale and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She subconsciously looked at Li Chengyuan.

"Li Chengyuan, can you slow down a bit? You're going too fast!"

But Li Chengyuan paid no attention. Although the car was going fast, it remained incredibly stable without any bumps or swaying.

Lin Zhixia felt like she had brushed shoulders with death several times.

When the car stopped in a familiar spot, Lin Zhixia was stunned. He had actually taken her back to the place where she used to rent a room.

Her eyes dimmed slightly. This place did indeed hold too many memories for them, but as for her, she didn't want to remember them.

Because this is tantamount to constantly reminding her how she treats Li Chengyuan, how she uses him, and how she exploits him.

This place was a nightmare for Li Chengyuan, and Lin Zhixia felt that if she stayed here for even a moment longer, she would be in danger of losing her life.

Lin Zhixia instinctively turned around to run away, but Li Chengyuan pulled her back.

"Lin Zhixia, why are you running!"

Lin Zhixia froze on the spot, as if her feet were weighed down with lead, and dared not turn around to look at him.

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, concealing the turbulent emotions in her eyes. To others, it was just a house, but to her, it was a place that constantly reminded her of her sins.

The air was so stuffy it was suffocating; every second she stayed was excruciating. The panic and guilt in her heart made it hard for her to breathe.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"What's wrong? You seem scared of this place. Are you feeling guilty?" Li Chengyuan closed the car door and curled his lips in a mocking smile.

Lin Zhixia forced herself to reply, "What do I have to be guilty about?"

Li Chengyuan saw the panic in her eyes and snorted coldly, "That's for the best, go up."

He strode ahead and walked inside first. Lin Zhixia pursed her lips, then followed him.

She didn't understand why Li Chengyuan had brought her here.

But she felt that he must be thinking of some way to humiliate her, after all, this place did not hold any good memories for him.

Li Chengyuan walked to the door, where the landlady was already waiting. As soon as she saw Li Chengyuan, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Xiao Li, you're here! I thought you weren't coming today."

Li Chengyuan appeared more composed than usual: "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way."

"It's okay, let's sign first, we can take care of the formalities later."

The landlady nodded, then looked past Li Chengyuan at Lin Zhixia behind him.

"Xiaolin, it's been so long! Did you two move recently? I thought you two..."

The landlady didn't have the nerve to say the words "break up."

Lin Zhixia clenched her fingers, glanced at Li Chengyuan, and seeing that he didn't seem to intend to speak, Lin Zhixia could only nod awkwardly.

"Yes, we moved."

The landlady had lived in Beijing for many years, and she could tell what Li Chengyuan looked like in the past at a glance, but now, this suit was definitely not cheap.

Her entire aura is completely different from before.

It seems this young couple has really made it big.

She took out her keys and pushed open the door, muttering to herself.

"It's clear that you two are doing quite well now. I've said it before, Xiao Lin is obviously a thrifty person, plus Xiao Li used to treat you well too."

"There's an old saying that goes, 'A man who loves his wife will rise to prominence.' Sure enough, look at Xiao Li, he's made it big. Xiao Lin, you're going to enjoy life from now on."

Lin Zhixia's lips twitched; she felt like she was about to freeze from laughing.

Li Chengyuan deliberately turned his head to look at Lin Zhixia, his eyes full of meaning: "Hmm, that's true. You can tell at a glance that you know how to manage a household well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so ambitious before, right, wife?"

He emphasized the word "wife" with extra force, and Lin Zhixia's cheeks turned bright red. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into right now.

Li Chengyuan really knows how to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

The landlady was extremely envious: "Alright, alright, stop teasing Xiaolin. Look, her face is all red. You all check if there are any problems with the house. If there aren't, we'll sign."

Li Chengyuan looked around the house and said, "We don't need the furniture."

The landlady used to have old-fashioned furniture that didn't match the overall color scheme of the house, making it look old-fashioned.

The landlady was naturally happy that they didn't want the furniture, as she could take it away and save some money.

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone move it tomorrow morning. Also, this TV, I think you bought it, right?"

As soon as the topic of television came up, they both turned their heads to look at it.

Lin Zhixia and Li Chengyuan both have a strong impression of this TV series.

This was the salary Li Chengyuan received for the high-risk work he did at the Li family villa. He used it to buy the TV later, and the two of them were very happy at the time.

After all, for two people burdened with loans, just being able to make ends meet was a feat in itself, let alone daring to dream of something like a television.

But now, when Li Chengyuan sees this TV program, it's as if it's constantly reminding him how foolish he was back then.

His lips were taut, and his voice suddenly took on a chill.

"Move this one too."
