Kiss With Mr. CEO Chapter 6 - You Bumpkin

Chapter 6 - You b.u.mpkin

"Achoo" Chen Yi sneezed. She could never have guessed in her wildest dream that a certain CEO she had called a b.u.mpkin other day was now determined to make her his wife at all costs.

"You alright Yi'er" Fu Liling looked worried.

"Of course. Idiot! You are the one being hospitalized here" Chen Yi placed a hand over her forehead. "Hmm. It's better now."

Chen Yi looked down to see her best friend Fu Liling, her only support through her difficult time. It would be wrong to say that if not for Fu Liling's emotional support through her difficult time, Chen Yi wouldn't be alive today. She might have ended her life. Especially at the time when Fu Jianguo abandoned her, she was broken. A warm smile spread in Chen Yi's eyes as she glanced at Fu Liling.

Fu Liling was cute. With mid-length black hair and pale round baby face, she was the perfect example of innocent beauty. Her cheeks held a tinge of red. Fu family held good genes. All their offsprings were beautiful.

"I'm alright. Stop being my mother. One mother is already more than enough." Fu Liling laughed while opening the food box. "And what is it you brought? Porridge?" She made a face.

"I made an extra effort to make it as bad tasting as I could." Chen Yi teased.

"You are such a bit*h."

"Isn't it why we are best friends? Because we both are bitc*es."

Chen Yi made sure that Fu Liling finished her porridge. And despite her relentless refusals, she forced the whole bowl down her throat. In the end, Fu Liling was literally crying.

"Your cooking is horrible! I've not tasted anything worse than this in my entire life!"

"Don't worry. Next time I'll make sure to make it even worse just for you"

"I hate you!"

"I love you too." Chen Yi laughed. "Remember. This is a punishment. So you won't be getting careless again."

Fu Liling had gotten drunk during the engagement party of Chen Ying and Fu Jianguo and ended up falling in the swimming pool. If it was not for Chen Yi timely noticing the noise caused by her, she would have drowned and possibly died. Even the possibility of it scared Chen Yi to no end. She glanced at Fu Liling and frowned. "What's the matter?"

Fu Liling expressions looked conflicting. It looked like she wanted to say something but it was getting difficult for her to say.

"If you don't want to say it then let it be." Chen Yi said thoughtfully. "Just say it when you are ready."

"No, I must tell you today." Fu Liling shook her head. The fact was eating her inside and she desperately wanted to let it out. And there was no one other than her best friend Chen Feng who would believe her. "Listen to me Chen Yi, whatever I'm going to tell you, promise me to stay calm?"

"Okay." Chen Yi was serious now.

Fu Liling took a deep breath. "It was actually Chen Ying who had pushed me down that day."

Chen Yi was stunned.

"I was not sure first that it was her. So I asked Gu Chiantao. She also confirmed that it was her."

Chen Yi fell in disbelief. After a long silence, she asked. "Are you sure?"

"I remember someone pushing me but I couldn't see the person's face. Later I dismissed it a.s.suming I must have been being delusional because of all that alcohol. But Gu Chiantao said she saw Chen Ying pushing me" Fu Liling said slowly. She knew that it must be quite a shock for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was acquainted with Gu Chiantao. Owing to her personality, she wouldn't have bluffed or lied about something this serious.

"I can't believe it." Chen Yi's eyes burned with anger.

She was infuriated. Ever since she was young, Chen Ying had never spared any effort to make life miserable for her. Now she even started targeting the people Chen Yi loved and cared for? But this time she wouldn't let her win! She wouldn't let her hurt anyone she cared about!

"I'm not going to let this one go. I could have silently tolerated if it was me. But if she dares to hurt my friends..."

"Yi'er please stop! You promised to stay calm!" Fu Liling grabbed her hand.

"Who does she think she is? Pushing you into the water? What if you have died? What if she tries something again." Chen Yi looked terrified and hugged Fu Liling.

"I know," Fu Liling said silently and returned her hug, " But n.o.body is going to believe us."

Chen Yi looked at Fu Liling and took a deep breath to control herself. What Fu Liling said was right. n.o.body was going to believe them. Specially Fu Jianguo who would believe Chen Ying than his eyes.

"Liling, take care of your health. Do not stress yourself. Just remember that I'll not let her or anyone hurt you."

"But promise me you wouldn't do anything before informing me?" Fu Liling was worried about Chen Yi more than herself. She knew that Chen Yi had the capacity to do reckless things.

"I promise." Chen Yi smiled. Once Chen Yi was outside, she quickly dialed a number. Of course, she had lied to Fu Liling. "Is it Gu Chiantao?"

"Yes?" Gu Chiantao a little confused voice said from the other line.

"I'm Chen Yi, Fu Liling friend. Can we meet tomorrow?"

"Of course" She answered readily as if she was expecting her call.

Chen Yi texted her the location and time of the meeting. She needed to collect evidence. But first, she wanted to check the validity of the news.

Meanwhile, Li Luxian secretary Zhang Xin was in cold sweats.

"Quick! Quick! guys" He urged his subordinates who were tirelessly going through long lists of guests that entered the club that night.

He took a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

And that time, his phone rang. His heart jolted out of his chest to his throat. He had a hard time swallowing it back into his stomach. He took out his phone with sweaty fingers. The phone danced in his hands and he finally managed to click the answer b.u.t.ton with trembling fingers.

"M-Mr Li?"

"You found her?"

"Mr. Li my boys are working diligently..."

"Found her or not?"

Secretary Zhang Xin gulped.

"Not yet Mr. Li but I'll find her soon".

Li Luxian raked his hand through his hair. The gesture looked so cool and seductive on him that one could stop his eyes from being glued to his every move. Li Luxian was handsome. Coupled with his status, he was the most desirable bachelor in the country.

He was anxious. If his father was to find that girl before him, his whole plan would be ruined.

"I'm giving you just one more hour." Saying it Li Luxian cut the phone abruptly while his secretary silently cried out tears of blood.

...

Chen Yi was lying lazily on her couch and stuffing her mouth with french fries while watching a tiger tearing a deer into pieces on Animal Planet. Her long brown hair was tied into a bun. Her that impeccable beauty still made her a sight to behold even in her pajamas.

It was when a noise brought her out of her indulgence.

Ding Dong!

She frowned and glanced at the clock.

9 pm.

Who could be at this hour?

Chen Yi glanced at the monitor to find a man standing on her door. His face was not visible but he was wearing a formal dress, a suit, black in color as if he was some tyc.o.o.n. Another man was standing beside him holding some files with a reverent temperant.

Must be his subordinate.

It was always good to take precautions.

So she took out her revolver and hid it in her belt. She walked to the door with reluctant steps. She had a feeling she had seen that man somewhere but she couldn't exactly pinpoint where.

If he was someone who was here on the orders of her family or someone sent by Zhao Liwei, she might be in trouble.

She opened the door with a jerk and her eyes widened once they landed on that familiar face with those soul capturing chocolate marble eyes that were shimmering with intensity.

"b.u.mpkin?"

Zhang Xin vomited Blood.
