Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 52: Come with me to the amusement park!
This time, after Jiayi went upstairs, she showed no intention of opening the door again.
"Young Master, you should go upstairs and try to persuade her," said Auntie Li after waiting all night without seeing Jiayi. She realized that Jiayi was truly angry and glanced at Huo Zhenyang, who was on the sofa.
It was just a beating for that pretty boy, what’s so great about that?
How dare she remain angry with him all night.
Huo Zhenyang’s face had also looked terrible all night.
Hearing what Auntie Li said, his eyelids twitched, and he finally went upstairs.
He raised his hand and knocked twice on the door, his demeanor imperious as if he were a monarch whose orders could not be defied, "Enough, open the door."
This man, he hasn’t realized his mistake at all!
Jiayi hugged a pillow in indignation and stayed silent.
"What, just met that pretty boy for a day and you’re already so distressed over him? You won’t open the door, is that it? Fine, if I have to break the door down, don’t you regret it," said the man, his voice ominously cold and now filled with considerable anger.
Left with no choice, Jiayi had to reply, still visibly upset, "It’s not that I’m distressed, I feel guilty, okay? Someone got beaten because of me, and it was in the head. What if there are complications? I won’t be at peace for the rest of my life! Perhaps to you, the young master, teaching someone a lesson or even making them disappear isn’t a big deal, but I don’t like it!"
Not distressed?
In a moment, as if the clouds parted for Huo Zhenyang to see the sun, the heavy stone weighing on his heart was lifted, his lips relaxed slightly, curving into a semblance of satisfaction.
After a long silence, he spoke, "I’ll find the best neurosurgeon in G City to look after his injuries, and then I’ll make arrangements for him to recover at Cixin Hospital."
Cixin Hospital?
It had been a while now, and Jiayi knew that Cixin was the best private hospital in G City, unmatched, and ranked among the hospitals with the most advanced and comprehensive medical facilities nationwide.
Had this man suddenly had a change of heart and decided to be charitable?
She stood up and walked slowly towards the door, incredulous, "Are you serious?"
"Since I’ve said it, I won’t go back on my word." He heard her voice sounding much clearer, as if she had approached the door, and he too leaned closer, his voice suddenly lower, "That pretty boy won’t have any trouble. Can we leave it at that now? Open the door."
His tone still carried a dignity and aloofness that seemed to rise above everyone else.
He was able, in the short span of a mealtime, to crush a man harboring intentions towards his woman into the mud, but just as quickly, he was willing to help that man up from the mud.
All this was subject to the whims of him, the Boss.
Jiayi experienced his capriciousness once more, his cold and restrained nature, unable to speak for a long while. Yet she also felt a slight gentleness in his request to "open the door," a touch of tenderness probing like a wind that tickles the heart.
Huo Zhenyang was surprised by his own reaction as well.
Ever since this girl had been by his side, his life had witnessed many unprecedented firsts.
For the first time, when she didn’t come home at night, he had rushed out to look for her, his heart racing with anxiety.
Today, for the first time, he was putting his pride aside to coax an angry woman.
In his past life, there was no such thing as "coaxing a woman."
They flocked to him in waves, flattering him and treating him like an emperor.
And he, rightfully enjoying their adulation, took their services for granted.
This girl, supposedly just a part of a business deal, had completely disrupted the rhythm of his life.
Damn it.
It was the first time he was so reluctant to let a woman be angry.
"So you won’t just hit people randomly anymore?" Jiayi still hadn’t opened the door, sounding like a frightened little animal, probing one last time.
"Yes," Huo Zhenyang silently chuckled, coaxing a woman certainly wasn’t easy.
Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and sensed a rare indulgence and gentleness in the man’s tone.
This was an opportunity not to be missed!
She fluttered her eyelashes, "Just this won’t do."
She hadn’t fully vented her frustration yet.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes darkened slightly; this girl was pushing her luck, actually starting to make conditions.
Let’s see what she’s got up her sleeve; after all, he wasn’t someone who couldn’t rise to the occasion.
His eyebrows knit together, curious, "What else do you want?"
What was there for this man to fear? What task could be too challenging? Probably even plucking the stars from the sky was within his reach.
"Gao Ziming gave me three days off, and I still have two left. Accompany me to the amusement park tomorrow, and you must join me on every ride... um, until I’m satisfied," she blurted out, the thought flashing through her mind.
Amusement park?
Huo Zhenyang’s facial muscles stiffened, his handsome features momentarily contorted.
That was a place for parents to take little brats, he had never been nor ever contemplated visiting such a place.
And he had to join her on the rides?
Feeling the silence outside the door, Jiayi could picture the man’s face darkening, and she couldn’t help but smile.
Just the thought of the authoritative, ice-cold face of the big Boss screaming in shock on the bumper cars and the pirate ship, dignity gone, was enough to make her want to burst into laughter—
Surely he wouldn’t agree.
Hmph, it would be good for him to look a bit grumpy!
Five seconds later, a calm voice came from outside the door, "Okay. Go to bed early, Dummy will wake you up tomorrow, we leave at nine."
She was stunned, and as she heard footsteps outside, he had already gone downstairs.
What?
No way!
He agreed?!
She had only meant to tease him, to strike back in jest, not expecting that he’d actually agree.
Thinking about spending the whole day alone with him tomorrow made her feel a little nervous...
Was this what they called a taste of one’s own medicine?!
The next morning, when the agreed time came, the Dummy-brand alarm clock dutifully started its reminder and urged its owner to get out of bed.
By the time Jiayi came downstairs dressed, Huo Zhenyang was already waiting on the sofa.
The girl had tied her hair into a fresh and youthful ponytail, topped with a vintage-style, large red bow, wearing a blue-and-white striped sailor T-shirt with nosebleed-inducingly short denim hot pants, paired with pure white high-tops.
Auntie Li’s eyes bulged.
If Miss Jiayi’s bust weren’t quite impressive, she would look like a complete student. With such an outfit, she looked two or three years younger.
She appeared to be a high school student—
No! Even passing her off as a middle schooler would be believable.
Standing next to the tall and stern young master, she looked like an uncle taking his niece out for fun.
From the cunning glint in Jiayi’s eyes, Huo Zhenyang understood she was doing it on purpose.
But Jiayi was already slinging her pink doll-decorated backpack over her shoulders, coming up to him with lips raised in cute, coquettish defiance, "Aren’t we going?"
A flicker of amusement passed through Huo Zhenyang’s eyes as he opened the door.
Today wasn’t a public holiday, so the largest Miaoqu Amusement Park in the northern part of G City wasn’t very crowded, and there were few parents with kids.
That was a relief to Huo Zhenyang in secret; surrounded by noisy, bratty kids, he couldn’t guarantee his composure.
However, clearly, the young girl beside him was not planning to let him off the hook easily.
"That one that one––I want to ride the Cloud Soaring Roller Coaster!" As they reached an attraction, Jiayi exclaimed with excitement.
