The Domineering CEO, but a Crybaby! - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Lush Green Grass

The night was as dark as ink, dotted with starlight.

At the West Mountain Villa, a high-profile luxury car, its metal surface gleaming under the moonlight, slowly pulled in.

The moment the car came to a stop, the doors on the passenger side and the same side’s back seat suddenly opened!

Two figures scrambled out of the car almost simultaneously, and with two thuds, they knelt on the ground in the exact same posture!

“Ugh—”

A chorus of retching sounds echoed in the night.

The two people still in the car looked at the people who had bolted out and were now kneeling on the ground.

One was retching violently, the other was groaning in pain…

Their expressions were different, but there was a common thread of not quite understanding the current situation.

Tu Xuan scratched the side of her jawline, her eyes showing a hint of annoyance. She had already held back a lot because there was someone in the passenger seat.

Was it still too fast?

As soon as the car stopped, she quickly got out, walked around the front, and went to check on the person who was retching uncontrollably.

“Are you okay?”

She tried to help the person on the ground up, but her outstretched hand was swatted away.

Su Ming didn’t even lift her head. She was too dizzy to move, and the acid reflux made it impossible to speak. She could only use her hand to point at the other person also kneeling on the ground, motioning for Tu Xuan to leave her alone.

Go help the boss first!

Tu Xuan immediately got her meaning and realized that the boss was still kneeling…

“General He, are you all right?”

She said this while trying to help her up, but the person who had walked around the back of the car had already reached He Shu. She hesitated for less than a second and stopped her movement.

Cen Qianyi was the last to get out of the car. Before getting out, she didn’t forget to straighten her clothes and hair.

She got out of the car gracefully and walked leisurely to He Shu, stopping behind her. She looked down at her, her lowered eyelashes expertly hiding the disgust in her eyes.

How useless. She could get sick from just that little bit of speed. If she had been thrown into the “flying car” training camp where she used to be, she would have probably thrown up her heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys.

Another pained groan. He Shu had nothing left to throw up, just a mouth full of sour bile. She spat it out forcefully, then waved her hand at Tu Xuan.

She wanted to say she was fine, but as soon as she had the thought of opening her mouth, another wave of intense nausea hit her.

She lowered her head and continued to retch. This time, it felt like she was going to throw up her gall.

Just as she was wondering if she was about to start throwing up bl00d, her neck suddenly felt cool, and a hand was placed on the back of her neck.

Then, a force pressed down. She looked back and saw Cen Qianyi, and the bitter bile that was rising in her throat was so scared that it was swallowed back down.

When did this person get behind her?

Cen Qianyi saw the person look back at her with puffed-out cheeks. Worried that she would throw up on her, she disgustedly took half a step back.

But she didn’t withdraw her hand. Her thumb and fingers pressed down on several acupuncture points.

He Shu’s neck hurt, and her scalp tingled. She thought Cen Qianyi was about to kill her right then and there. She couldn’t support herself and almost fell forward into the pile of things she had just thrown up.

Cen Qianyi reached out and caught her, her eyes filled with even more disgust.

If she fell in there, it would still smell even after being washed clean…

Seeing the look of panic in the other person’s eyes, Cen Qianyi frowned slightly. She had just been in a fast-moving car. How could she be so scared…

It was a waste of her size and this body. Cen Qianyi looked at her eyes, which were supposed to be as sharp as a hawk’s. It was a wonder that inside these hawk-like eyes were the panicked eyes of a rabbit.

She didn’t know what she was so afraid of, and her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s.

He Shu didn’t know what Cen Qianyi was doing by pinching her neck. She was frozen in place, not daring to move. This fear made her not even want to throw up anymore.

Was she going to make a move in the darkness? Was she going to kill her?

No, He Shu glanced out of the corner of her eye. There was no killing intent in the air.

Besides, she wasn’t alone.

Someone, please come and save her!

Tu Xuan, seeing that the boss was being taken care of, and by her “bedmate” no less, naturally didn’t want to get in the way.

She looked at Su Ming’s discomfort and hesitated… She looked down at her own hand with the fingerless black leather gloves. Given their relationship, could she just reach out and press on her neck?

She then looked at Su Ming’s neck, which was exposed outside her collar. Her short hair was just at the same level as her jawline, and her neck was fully exposed and looked quite fair in the moonlight.

Su Ming didn’t know what the person was struggling with. She saw out of the corner of her eye that the boss had gotten up. She forcefully suppressed the churning in her stomach and braced herself to stand up.

He Shu was lifted up by Cen Qianyi pinching her neck. That’s not accurate; it would be more correct to say that as soon as Cen Qianyi pinched her neck and pulled, she went along with it and stood up.

After standing up, just as she was wondering whether to beg for mercy, the other person took a step forward and walked away.

Cen Qianyi saw that the person was okay, so she took a step and walked towards the villa, as if it were her own home.

He Shu looked at her back, feeling a little dazed.

She didn’t even have a chance to ask on the way, what was wrong with this person? Why didn’t she leave?

Why was she in her car, and why had she come back with her, and now, she was just walking into her villa?

What did that mean?

Over there, Su Ming steadied herself. After a moment, she felt like she could hold back from throwing up again and quickly walked over to He Shu.

“Boss, are you okay?”

Su Ming’s voice brought He Shu’s thoughts back.

He Shu turned to her: “I’m fine. What about you?”

Su Ming felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the boss was concerned about her. She felt like her dizzy head was a lot better.

“I’m fine.”

He Shu nodded, then looked at Tu Xuan behind her.

Tu Xuan immediately apologized: “General He, I’m sorry. I’ll drive slower next time.”

He Shu opened her mouth, then closed it again. She was the one who had told her to drive fast, but she didn’t expect someone to be able to drive a car like a plane!

A spinning plane!!!

On those winding mountain roads, it felt like they were going to fly off at every turn!

He Shu was on the verge of speaking several times and finally decided to say something.

“You should turn yourself in.”

“Okay.” Tu Xuan agreed without thinking, then paused in a daze, “Huh? Turn myself in for what?”

He Shu: “Speeding! You were speeding on the city roads!”

“Huh?” Tu Xuan was surprised, but quickly reacted, “It’s my fault. I’ll definitely turn myself in.”

The boss had turned herself in for speeding, so she should do the same.

Come to think of it, it was a little strange. She felt like the boss had been acting weird these past two days.

Like this speeding confession… When did the boss become so law-abiding?

Thinking of this, she looked at the woman who had already walked some distance away.

This new “plaything” of the boss’s was also very strange. This morning, she was panicked and wanted to accuse the boss of kidnapping her. So why had she come back on her own now?

After He Shu also started walking, she grabbed Su Ming, who was about to follow, and asked her what was going on.

Su Ming was the one who had let the woman into the car, and they had talked for a while before getting in.

Tu Xuan also mentioned that she felt the woman was a little strange and that General He was also acting a little out of character.

When Su Ming heard her question, she frowned: “Don’t ask questions you’re not supposed to ask.”

Cen Qianyi was the boss’s plaything. Unless the boss was tired of her, even if she ran away, she would help to bring her back.

As for what Tu Xuan said about the boss acting strange, there must be a reason for it. For example, when the boss said she was confessing to speeding, didn’t Officer Chen then mention that Commander Li loved racing, and the boss took the opportunity to invite her to drive on the mountain roads?

This would only bring them closer to the police. The boss had her own deep intentions.

Su Ming was about to follow He Shu, but Tu Xuan hesitated and grabbed her again, pointing to a few spots on the back of her neck: “Press here. You’ll feel a lot better.”

Su Ming tried it and found that she did feel better. She quickly caught up to He Shu and told her about the method.

He Shu looked at the spot she was demonstrating and raised an eyebrow. That spot… was the same place Cen Qianyi had pressed just now.

She looked up at Cen Qianyi, who had already stepped through the door.

What a coincidence?

As Su Ming and He Shu walked inside, Su Ming briefly explained what had happened at the police station.

Cen Qianyi’s testimony to the police was the same as He Shu’s—that she had been woken up by the sound of a gun and saw someone holding a gun, trying to kill He Shu.

But Cen Qianyi had also talked about what happened before she went to sleep, about how He Shu “played” with her.

The legal team was prepared to counter-sue Cen Qianyi for defamation.

But the girl, while saying she was not willing, also said that He Shu liked it that way and that she didn’t resist and cooperated.

The police asked for the reason.

She said: “Because I like it.”

He Shu almost missed a step on the stairs. She looked at Su Ming in disbelief: “Like? She said she liked it?”

“Yes, she said she liked the boss.”

“What? She likes me?”

He Shu was shocked. What kind of persona was she trying to create for herself? She couldn’t understand. What was this act?

He Shu didn’t believe a single word Cen Qianyi said. She must have an ulterior motive.

Su Ming was also worried that she was up to something: “Boss, should we get someone else?”

He Shu wanted to cry. She wanted to, too.

But what could she do?

“It has to be her.”

…

A murder had occurred in He Shu’s bedroom, so it was temporarily sealed off.

He Shu took a quick shower in a guest room on the third floor and then heard the familiar electronic voice in her mind.

[Ding ding ding, West Mountain Villa Plot Five is about to begin. Please proceed to the designated scene as soon as possible.]

He Shu wrapped her bathrobe around herself. After quickly blow-drying her hair, she looked at her black hair in the mirror and thought of the red-haired woman who had delusions of being her mother.

That woman was truly garbage. She looked so powerful, but in the end, she couldn’t even take the person with her!

Even if Cen Qianyi didn’t want to go with her, she should have just forced her. It’s not like Cen Qianyi would kill a police officer in front of so many people.

What a useless person!

In N City, Nie Wenyu, who had just gotten off the helicopter and was in the elevator to the top floor, sneezed three times in a row.

Lisa laughed: “Someone is thinking of the boss.”

Nie Wenyu immediately thought of the little girl’s face.

She took out her phone and looked at it. She had given the girl a phone with her number in it and told her to contact her if anything happened.

Nie Wenyu was angry but helpless about what the little girl had said at the police station. The psychologist said her situation was very serious, special, and tricky. They told her not to provoke her for now and to go along with her wishes.

Nie Wenyu opened her phone’s photo album and clicked on the new picture she had just saved.

In the photo, mottled red wax was spread across a fair back, like a red plum in a snowy landscape, possessing a stunning beauty, but also so fragile that it was startling. You would worry that the blooming red flower couldn’t survive the cruel winter.

She had originally wanted to stay in H City and get her proper treatment, but there was an emergency at headquarters that called her back.

Nie Wenyu turned off her phone and squeezed it in her palm. Thinking of the pervert who had “played” with the girl like this, Nie Wenyu’s eyes were filled with rage.

After she finished dealing with things here, she would make that person pay!

He Shu suddenly sneezed. Accidentally, she cut her finger, and a line of crimson bl00d instantly appeared.

No, this knife was too sharp.

He Shu wiped the bl00d from her fingertip and put the knife back. There wasn’t enough time to try each one. She took the least sharp one she had just tried.

It was similar in size to her usual eyebrow razor, just a little sharper.

Thinking about the area she had to “fix”… He Shu sniffled. She really wanted to cry!

This whole shitty plot!

In the original story, He Shu was supposed to take Cen Qianyi to an island where the club the original owner had joined was holding an event.

Cen Qianyi’s new order was to kill the founder of this club, Yao Bing, the chairman of the Yao Group.

Of course, the original owner didn’t know she was bringing a wolf into a flock of sheep. In the original owner’s eyes, Cen Qianyi was just a harmless little lamb to be played with.

Going to an island, naturally, you would think of sunshine, beaches, and bikinis.

The original story said that before going, she had to “groom” her plaything to make it easier to wear a bikini…

He Shu took a deep breath. Before the countdown ended, she opened the pet room door.

On a large cushion, Cen Qianyi was once again sitting with her knees hugged, quietly watching her walk in through the door.

She seemed to have showered as well, probably arranged by Su Ming. She had also changed into a new set of pajamas, similar in style to the previous one, but with thinner straps and a lower neckline. The material was also lighter and thinner. Fortunately, her hair was covering her. But her hair was half-wet, and that gentle dampness made the little white flower look even more enchanting.

If Officer Judy were here right now, she would probably be even more captivated by Cen Qianyi.

Her behavior today clearly showed that she was attracted to Cen Qianyi.

Thinking of this, He Shu further ruled out the possibility of Officer Judy being Nie Wenyu.

In the original story, she and Cen Qianyi were mortal enemies!

The book described their first meeting in the later stages with sharp words. While it wasn’t a head-on collision, it took a lot of pages to describe how they couldn’t stand each other.

They disliked each other in every way, not just different stances and values. The book also described how they disliked each other’s appearances.

Speaking of this crappy original story, she always felt something was off. It felt very disjointed… He Shu looked at Cen Qianyi, who was sitting quietly and watching her…

She couldn’t shake the feeling that the person in front of her was not the same person in the book who was willing to endure abuse to stay by the original owner’s side to take out a target…

Cen Qianyi saw the person walk in and stand still at the door, her ears twitching slightly. She had been listening to her movements from the next room.

Before the person walked in, she was playing with the phone the woman had given her. There was only one number saved in it.

The note said: Nie Wenyu.

This was the first time she had heard this name. She didn’t expect her last name to be Nie. Cen Qianyi had some bad memories associated with this last name and didn’t have a good feeling about the person she had met today.

But this person still had a use for her.

Cen Qianyi’s gaze went up and down He Shu, who was still standing there like a statue. This person also still had a use for her.

Her gaze fell on the napkin wrapped around her finger, which had some bl00d on it.

Cen Qianyi raised an eyebrow. She had heard some gasps from the next room just now.

Was she… cutting herself for fun?

Cen Qianyi opened her mouth, about to ask what was going on, when the person who looked like a statue moved.

And it was a big move.

He Shu, with the alarm blaring in her mind, hardened her heart and went for it. It was also a form of self-abandonment.

She strode forward, and under Cen Qianyi’s surprised gaze, she pushed her onto the cushion. Then, with a single knee on the ground, she knelt beside her and gave the other person no time to react. She grabbed her hands, held them above her head, and handcuffed her!

It wasn’t that Cen Qianyi couldn’t react. Normally, when someone walked towards her head-on like this, she would only fail to react if she were dead.

She was just… confused…

She looked up at her hands, which were being held above her head, then looked at the person on top of her who had a look of readiness to die.

Seeing the tears falling from her eyes, Cen Qianyi was truly taken aback.

Why was she crying?

And crying instantly…

He Shu flattened Cen Qianyi’s bent legs, then straddled her.

Looking at the perfectly exposed armpit, He Shu’s eyelids twitched. It was really as clean as the original story described.

The word used in the book was “flawless white jade”…

Was that the right word to use?! While it was true that the area was white and clean, was that how you used the word?!

Cen Qianyi saw that the person had stopped moving again. She followed her gaze to her own body. Why was this person looking at her arm?

Just as she was about to ask what she was doing, the other person spoke first.

“Honey, this part of you is so clean.”

Clean?

Cen Qianyi raised an eyebrow. What was clean?

Before she could ask, a dark shadow pressed down, and a warm sensation landed where her shoulder and arm met.

He Shu quickly touched it and got up as soon as she heard the “action passed” notification.

She took the cap off the hair removal razor she had been holding in her hand, used the blade to lift Cen Qianyi’s chin, and then ran a finger lightly down her raised swan-like neck.

Her finger passed over her chest, over her flat, toned abdomen, over her concave navel, and stopped at the edge of the fabric covering her.

“I wonder, honey, if this part of you is just as clean.”

Below? Clean?

Cen Qianyi looked at the object in her hand. Her pale purple eyes narrowed slightly, and the look in them changed from surprise to a dark look of contemplation after a few guesses.

Before she could open her mouth to ask what she meant, a hand was placed on her waist. He Shu lifted her butt, pulled out the hem of the pajamas that were underneath, and pulled it up.

Her flat abdomen was revealed, and the plain white underwear was completely exposed.

If Cen Qianyi still didn’t know what the other person was trying to do at this point, she might as well pluck out her brain and give it away.

“Let go of me.”

Her eyes no longer hid anything; they were full of warning.

He Shu looked at the person who wasn’t even bothering to act anymore, and tears welled up.

She slapped her own hand, which was holding the other person’s face.

In her nervousness, she didn’t control her strength well, and it hurt so much that her brows twitched.

She quickly pinched the person’s face to the side, pretending to have slapped her to get the system to approve the action.

“I told you, with me, the only thing you’re allowed to ask is to be played with!”

Such self-destructive words.

Cen Qianyi looked at the person on top of her with a cold expression and slowly started to break free from the handcuffs.

He Shu was looking down and didn’t see the other person’s movements. Tears streamed down her face.

They all fell onto Cen Qianyi’s bare stomach.

Cen Qianyi’s movements paused. She looked at the person on top of her, and He Shu also looked up at this moment.

Her eyes were full of tears, and her vision was blurry. She quickly wiped them away with her hand, and her sleeve rolled up, revealing the red, splotchy skin from yesterday’s burn.

Cen Qianyi looked at the wrinkled skin after the blisters on her arm had popped. The tears on it looked like they were making the skin peel off even more.

Thinking about the inconsistencies between this person’s “words” and “actions,” Cen Qianyi decided to ask first.

“What are you trying to do?”

Cen Qianyi was truly puzzled. Why did this person always cry whenever she was with her?

What was she so wronged about?

What was she so afraid of?

Unable to find an answer, Cen Qianyi felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart.

He Shu’s eyes, which had finally become clear, became blurry again after seeing the sharp look in Cen Qianyi’s eyes.

Crying about her sad fate, crying about why the other person couldn’t just hypnotize her right now!

Crying about why this original story was so perverted!

Crying about the alarm in her head counting down again!

“Honey… have you ever worn a bikini… I’ve prepared many sets for you. You’ll look so good in them… Don’t be scared. I’m just going to fix you up. Is this part of you as lush as your hair, or is it as clean as here… Let me see.”

Her voice, thick with crying, said all her lines. He Shu’s tears fell uncontrollably. Her two hands also followed the instructions and squeezed the two sides of the underwear, but she was hesitant to pull it down.

She looked up at Cen Qianyi. The wet heat in her eyes could have boiled a pot of water.

Couldn’t she think of a way? Couldn’t she just show some strength and hypnotize her right now!

If not, just get up and knock her out!

He Shu screamed wildly in her heart.

Cen Qianyi’s hand, which was half-freed from the handcuffs, paused when she met those pleading, shockingly red eyes.

She looked like she was begging her not to move…

She was crying so miserably.

It was the first time she had seen someone cry so much in front of her.

He Shu looked at the person who seemed to be in a daze and completely still, and her heart turned to ashes.

She looked down at her two hands, which were on the edge of doing something illegal…

Tears fell nonstop, sliding down her toned waist and towards that private area.

He Shu’s hands trembled as she carefully, very carefully, pulled down the underwear just a tiny bit, revealing the edge of the lush grass.

Tears gushed out, falling like rain.

He Shu thought of the original story’s description.

The top was flawless white jade.

The bottom was lush green grass.

Although it was inappropriate, she might have already had a mental breakdown.

Looking at her tears, which were falling like raindrops on the edge of that lush green area,

A lyric from a song uncontrollably popped into her mind.

“I hear the raindrops fall on the lush green grass…”
