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

Li Chengyuan clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, coughed awkwardly twice, and turned to go to the kitchen to get a bucket and a towel.

Lin Zhixia stood in the bathroom. No wonder Li Chengyuan blocked Old Zhao when he came in; he had already seen him.

Thinking about what had just happened, her cheeks flushed and her heart started racing.

When she went out, Li Chengyuan had almost dried up the water in the house, but the floor was still wet.

Li Chengyuan wrung out the towel in his hand and glanced at the room, which resembled a waterfall cave.

"Go live elsewhere, and we'll have someone come and fix it tomorrow morning."

"Um."

Lin Zhixia didn't refuse this time. She quickly packed her toiletries and a change of clothes and went to the hotel across the street with Li Chengyuan.

To save money, Lin Zhixia only booked a standard room, which had only one bed, and it was only 1.2 meters wide.

Sleeping alone is fine, but with two people, it's definitely a bit crowded.

Lin Zhixia said awkwardly, "How about I go and get another one?"

"Make do with this, it's getting late, and I have to go to work tomorrow."

"it is good."

While Li Chengyuan went in to take a shower, Lin Zhixia started looking for plumbers online. She also had to compare prices and try to find one that was reasonably priced.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the shower in the bathroom suddenly stopped. Lin Zhixia thought that Li Chengyuan must have finished showering, so she took her change of clothes and waited at the door.

A few seconds later, the bathroom door opened, and a wave of hot air rushed out.

Lin Zhixia looked up and saw the man's strong chest, with two deep abdominal muscles that stretched down to his waist. A few drops of water that hadn't been wiped away were still running down the lines of his chest muscles and gradually disappearing into the waist of his loose, drooping black shorts.

Lin Zhixia stood frozen in place, holding her pajamas, her eyes seemingly fixed on Li Chengyuan, unable to look away.

Li Chengyuan was used to her acting this way. He draped the towel over his shoulder and asked her casually.

"Should I go downstairs and buy a condom now?"

Lin Zhixia shook her head to come to her senses, looking puzzled.

"What kind of set should I buy?"

Li Chengyuan gave him a look that said, "Stop pretending: Didn't you want to do it?"

He knew that, given her desires, she wouldn't last more than a few days.

After understanding the meaning behind his words, Lin Zhixia's cheeks immediately turned bright red. She opened her mouth, but it took her a long time to utter a few words.

"Who...who said I wanted to do it? I was just thinking about which repair shop would be cheaper. Also, you should put your clothes on quickly. If you catch a cold, you'll have to spend money to go to the hospital."

After saying that, Lin Zhixia took the clothes, walked past him, and went into the bathroom, muttering to herself.

"So what if she has a good figure? What's there to brag about?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan chuckled and shook his head.

When Lin Zhixia came out after taking a shower, it was already midnight. Li Chengyuan was already lying in bed. Lin Zhixia couldn't help but feel nervous. Usually at home, although the two of them slept in the same bed, the bed was 1.5 meters wide, so she could move to the side.

But this bed is only 1.2 meters wide.

Li Chengyuan turned around and saw Lin Zhixia standing there, stunned.

"It's getting late, go to bed and rest."

Lin Zhixia took a deep breath and forced herself to lie down next to him. Their arms and bodies were pressed tightly together, with no gaps between them.

She tried to step back, but almost fell halfway down. Fortunately, Li Chengyuan reacted quickly and grabbed her waist, pulling her back.

Lin Zhixia bumped her head against his chest, her whole body was wrapped in his arms, he exuded a faint scent of Safeguard soap, and the large hands on her waist could be felt burning hot even through the fabric of her clothes.

Lin Zhixia tried to create some distance, but her knee accidentally bumped into something, and Li Chengyuan's low, husky voice sounded above her head.

"Don't move."

"oh."

The man's hot breath sprayed onto his head, and his scent filled his nostrils—clean, pleasant, and refreshing.

After a day of tossing and turning, Lin Zhixia finally succumbed to sleepiness.

But Li Chengyuan, who was holding her, suddenly couldn't fall asleep. The man's arm was around her neck, and she curled up in his arms like a kitten, soft and cuddly.

She used to be proactive every day, but now that she's quiet, I'm starting to feel restless.

He chuckled and tugged at the corners of his lips, gently stroking her hair with his palm before carefully getting out of bed and going into the bathroom.

……

The next day, Li Chengyuan returned with breakfast and saw that Lin Zhixia had woken up. He picked up the things in his hands.

"I bought your favorite pan-fried buns and soy milk. Get up and eat something quickly."

Lin Zhixia sat up, rubbed her messy hair, and then got up to wash up. She was a little more awake when she came out.

She took the pan-fried buns from Li Chengyuan and noticed the dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Li Chengyuan's eyes flickered, and he coughed lightly: "I'm a little uncomfortable in a new place."

Lin Zhixia used to have trouble sleeping in different beds, but since she transmigrated here, she has been sleeping surprisingly well.

"Okay, I'll have the repairman come over in a bit. You go to work. I'll call my boss and tell him I'll be there later."

She knew that Li Chengyuan's workplace was always very busy, and if she arrived a little late, the boss would nag her for ages.

Li Chengyuan finished eating quickly and wiped his hands with a tissue.

"I thought about it last night and decided we don't need to call a repairman. That's the landlord's problem. You can take some photos and send them to her later, then tell her we're not renting anymore."

Lin Zhixia was stunned: "If we don't rent, where will we stay?"

"Find a new place. Look online, but don't look for a basement or a shared apartment."

Just thinking about the way Old Zhao looked at Lin Zhixia yesterday made him feel uncomfortable all over and uneasy.

Lin Zhixia was stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"Are you crazy! We just paid a 2,000 yuan fine yesterday. Where are we going to get the money to rent a new place? Besides, this is Beijing. If we don't share an apartment or rent a basement, we'll have to starve ourselves."

"I'll figure out the money problem. You just focus on looking at houses. I'll take you to work after we finish eating."

Lin Zhixia dropped the pan-fried bun in her hand. Li Chengyuan glanced at her, bent down, wrapped the bun in a tissue, threw it into the trash can, and then picked up another one for her.

"I borrowed an electric scooter from the college student next door, so you don't have to squeeze onto the bus."

"No...no need, I think taking the bus is quite fun."

Lin Zhixia's face froze, and her fingers gripping the chopsticks tightened slightly. What a joke! How could she let Li Chengyuan take her to work?

Isn't that just courting death?

Li Chengyuan noticed Lin Zhixia's unease, his brows furrowing slightly as he stared intently at her with his dark eyes.

"Lin Zhixia, do you really have someone else outside? If so, tell me, and I can handle it."
