Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 51 Jiang Pinhao Was Beaten

If she could, she really wanted to kick this man to death!

But in the end, she still gently shook his toned arm, bit her lip, and softly pleaded, "Please, don’t send Auntie Li away."

The man’s eyes narrowed slightly.

If she could keep this attitude towards him, he would pluck the stars from the sky for her without hesitation.

"Go down."

Two calm words.

Jiayi knew that since he said this, he probably wouldn’t make things difficult for Auntie Li anymore. She quickly wrapped her arm around Auntie Li’s and obediently went downstairs.

Huo Zhenyang watched Jiayi’s retreating figure as she descended the stairs, then strode over to the bed, flipped the pillow, and took out her white cell phone.

His slender fingers swiped across the screen a few times, and his gaze became slightly stern, as if gathering an infinite displeasure. His thin lips curled up into a cold smirk.

That pretty boy, he really knew how to chase after girls.

They had just met today, and so quickly, he had gotten both her phone number and WeChat.

A gloom spread across his face in the shadows, but he composed himself, quelling the storm in his eyes. He put the phone back in its place and went downstairs.

In the living room downstairs, the two sat opposite each other, one on each side, quietly eating dinner.

Jiayi had been forced by Huo Zhenyang to come downstairs to eat. Like fulfilling a task, she counted each grain of rice she ate, causing the man opposite her to frown deeply.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was terrifyingly silent.

Finally, the awkward dinner was over.

Auntie Li and Dummy cleared the plates and bowls into the kitchen, leaving the living room in silence.

Jiayi felt uncomfortable all over, avoiding the man’s gaze across from her, and stood up: "I’m done eating, can I go upstairs now..." she said, heading towards the second-floor bedroom.

"Don’t you want to know about the so-called fiancée?"

The words fell sharply, light and indifferent, yet as cold and hard as metal.

Jiayi paused, slowly turning back, a hint of amusement on her delicate face: "Why would I want to know? Mr. Huo, don’t treat everyone as paparazzi, so eager to pry into your private affairs."

The man took a few slow steps closer, bending his tall and imposing figure slightly, looking at the petite girl in front of him, who stood as tall as his shoulders: "Then, after Auntie Li told you I rejected the old man’s marriage proposal and that I once had a fiancée, why did you act so out of character?"

"I did not!" She bit her lip as she sensed the approaching warmth of his presence.

Huo Zhenyang didn’t expose her evasion, but his eyes held an indescribable hint of mirth.

Could it be that this girl was subconsciously jealous, leading to her abnormal reaction?

For some reason, his mood improved considerably.

Finally, Jiayi’s heartbeat pounded like a drum under his gaze; she lifted her head and took a deep breath: "I just don’t want to be a homewrecker. If you have a fiancée, then don’t come bothering me!"

The girl’s little nose turned red as though she was deeply wronged, her thick lashes fluttering like butterfly wings, unable to hide her inner turmoil.

"That was a long time ago. She’s gone, and I haven’t had any contact with her for years. I have nothing to do with her anymore. You are not a mistress, even if she came back, and you two stood in front of me, you would be the rightful woman by my side, and she would be nothing."

His eyes were clear and forceful, like a vast ocean calming the mind, still fixed on her.

Really?

For some reason, Jiayi’s heartbeat intensified even more, and the grievances and unhappiness she had felt from yesterday to today slowly dissipated.

What was she doing?

Why was her mood so easily swayed by his affairs?

She was uneasy that he didn’t want to marry her, that he had a fiancée.

But now that he personally said his relationship with the fiancée was in the past, she was suddenly happy again?

With her face flushing red, she gripped the hem of her dress, almost unable to face her own unprincipled feelings. Yet, she felt a shadow fall over her.

He hooked her chin, lifting it so she could clearly look up at him: "Alright, I’ve made it clear to you, I’m one hundred percent single now. Now it’s your turn. Shouldn’t you assure me of something?"

"Huh?" Jiayi didn’t catch on immediately, craning her face within the confines of his fingers.

"What about those pretty boys around you?" The man raised an eyebrow.

Jiayi immediately understood who he was referring to, as he saw her dancing with Jiang Pinhao at Qiangui today.

"There was no handsome gigolo," she said, pushing away his hand, but met his burning gaze and felt a bit guilty, so she turned her head away.

Seeing that she would not admit it, he did not press on, but merely lifted the corner of his mouth slightly and said nothing more.

After dinner, Auntie Li clearly sensed that the atmosphere between the young master and Miss Jiayi had improved a lot and heaved a sigh of relief. The young master was indeed capable, Miss Jiayi couldn’t outplay him.

Back in her room, Jiayi rushed to her bed, took out the mobile phone hidden under her pillow, opened WeChat, and stared at Jiang Pinhao’s avatar.

Forget it, better to delete it! There was really nothing going on, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause if that man misunderstood!

Her thumb pressed down, about to drag Jiang Pinhao into the block list, when the cell phone rang stridently. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

It was Tang En’en.

What could she possibly want by calling so late at night?

She picked up the phone with curiosity, "Hello, what’s up, En’en?"

"Jiayi," Tang En’en’s voice on the other side sounded a bit urgent, "I’m going to take the day off tomorrow, it might not be just for one day, I don’t know when I’ll be back at the company. If you go to work, could you help me submit my leave application?"

"What happened?" Jiayi got nervous too.

"We just came out of Qiangui, someone out of nowhere beat up Jiang Pinhao... Maybe it was some drunk troublemaker, we just sent Jiang Pinhao to the hospital with a few friends."

Jiayi was startled, "Is he alright?"

"Nothing serious, got his head bandaged and the bleeding stopped, he’s much better, but his parents are abroad, and he has no family in G City, so we old classmates are taking turns to look after him in the hospital for a few days. That’s why I’m asking you to help me take a leave... Oh right, the signal isn’t good here in the hospital, I’ll stop now, that’s it."

The call snapped off abruptly.

Jiayi was left dumbfounded for a moment.

No sooner had Zhenyang left, Jiang Pinhao got beaten up; could it really be such a coincidence?

The anger she had suppressed came rising back up.

She stomped downstairs.

Just in time, Huo Zhenyang, with his long legs propped up slightly, was leaned back on the sofa reading a document.

Gathering her courage, she took a few steps forward, "Did you send someone to beat up Jiang Pinhao?"

Jiang Pinhao? The name of the handsome gigolo who danced with him today?

Huo Zhenyang raised an eyebrow, looking up from the documents, making no attempt to conceal the truth, "Mhm."

He even answered so quickly? How shameless could this man be?

"You—" Jiayi was almost at a loss for words, "Why would you beat him up? He has nothing to do with me!"

He put aside the document, his gaze detached and his tone as if speaking of something trivial, "Displeased."

Displeased? So he took it upon himself to teach someone a lesson?

Did he really think he was the emperor?

Without saying another word, she headed towards the door, but Huo Zhenyang’s eyes narrowed, and he grabbed the slender arm of the girl, "Where are you going?"

"He’s innocent, ended up bloodied and in the hospital because of me, shouldn’t I at least go see him?"

She was genuinely angry, and tried to struggle.

Zhenyang’s gaze turned icy, and he didn’t let go, spitting out two chilling words, "Not allowed."

The look in his eyes had already conveyed his ultimate decision.

Jiayi knew she would definitely not be able to visit Jiang Pinhao today, jerked her hand away, and ran upstairs.

The sound of the door slamming "bang," startled Auntie Li into appearing.

Ah dear, hadn’t things just improved a bit? How had they started arguing again?
