Clingy CEO Li

Li Jin just got home, on the other hand. He immediately soaked himself under the cold shower.

All these years, he has been keeping an eye on Yang Zi, because of the biggest secret he had been hiding all along. As a person who believes more in a practical world, he found it hard to believe what he had experienced 8 years ago.

Li Jin was involved in a serious car accident that put him in a coma for 6 months. During those 6 months, he fell into a deep dream. He can't believe that he was reborn. His identity actually existed many years ago as Feng Zhe, the crowned prince. He remembered everything, including how his lover died in front of him. A deity showed up in his dream, giving him a hint about the new identity of his lover, Qi Ying, in the modern world.

The moment Li Jin woke up after being comatose, he hired a top artist to sketch the face of the woman that the deity showed to him. He firmly believed that she was Qi Ying. He utilized all his connections just to find the person he has been longing for for many years.

When he discovered that the woman really exists, he was beyond grateful. He observed her many times and found out some similarities between Qi Ying and Yang Zi. This made him certain that Yang Zi is Qi Ying in her previous life. Because of their unfulfilled promise from their previous lives, he trained himself to grow stronger. In this lifetime, he will work harder to protect her from any dangers. He won't let any harm come in their way. Now that they were finally married, he does not mind waiting for her to love him back.

For eight years, he has been protecting Yang Zi in the shadows. He does not know how he is going to approach her, since they do not have any connections. He just can't possibly show up and said, "Qi Ying, it's me Feng Zhe." There's a chance that she does not have any recollections of her past life, just like him. If he did not encounter a car accident, he might not have known her until now. He might scare Yang Zi away if he did that.

Luckily, he was given an opportunity to meet her the night he was observing Yang Zi outside of her apartment. All these years, he would do his best to spare his free time, observing Yang Zi every night.

That night, he came from a business meeting and had a few drinks. Later on, he discovered that his drink was drugged. Fortunately, it was not a strong drug. Enough for him to excuse himself and drive away. He drove towards Yang Zi's apartment and parked the car on the roadside. The drug was already kicking inside and he is feeling hot inside. Yet, he was still thinking straight that night. He cut his arm to distract himself and calmed down. Li Jin thought that maybe because of the drug, he mustered all the courage to go inside Yang Zi's apartment. Sadly, he was thought of as a robber.

However, uncertainties filled his mind right now after their encounter with Xu Qing in the restaurant earlier. He is getting suspicious.

Is fate playing with him? How is it possible that Qi Ying and Xu Qing looked so similar? Is this a coincidence?

Li Jin thought that Xu Qing can't be Qi Ying just because she looked like Qi Ying. Qi Ying's body is already dead. But there is a small space in his mind, thinking she is the true Qi Ying.

Suddenly, Li Jin remembered what Yang Zi said earlier about her dream. Could it be, she was dreaming about her past life?

Thinking of all the possibilities, Li Jin's head is aching. He got out of the shower room and dressed up. Afterward, he went towards his study room. He checked his phone and realized that there was still no notification from Yang Zi.

He was about to press the dial key but realizing she was not feeling well, he did not call her. Maybe she was still driving and it might disturb her. So, he just sent her a message.

Li Jin: Xiao Zi? Are you still driving? Be careful on the road. Text me if you have arrived.

After he sent the text, he put down his phone and started checking on the documents on his table. A few minutes later, his phone 'ding' from a notification. He checked it out immediately, but he was disappointed, it was his assistant reminding him of an early meeting tomorrow.

Li Jin continued working and at the same time, he was waiting for Yang Zi to text him back.

Hours passed and it was already past midnight. Li Jin did not even notice the time. And still, Yang Zi did not text him. He tried to call her but no one answered. He kept calling her number more than 10 times, yet no one answered.

Li Jin immediately stood up and grabbed his windbreaker. However, before he could walk outside his house, he was reminded of their secret marriage. This made him furious and impatient inside. He took off his windbreaker and threw it across the room.

Who would have assumed the person he is getting anxious at, is peacefully sleeping on his soft bed.

The next day, the atmosphere in the Li Empire is very cold. They felt like they were inside a very large freezer.

"Assistant Leng, did something bad happen? Boss is so scary today." A female employee whispered to Assistant Leng.

Assistant Leng just shrugged his shoulders. "You only realized that now?" He does not even know what exactly happened. But he is certain that it is related to Young Madam. His Boss has been checking his phone since he picked him up from his house. Afraid of being scolded, he just kept his mouth shut the entire time.

Suddenly, the CEO's office door flew wide open, and an intimidating aura came out.

"I am not paying to gossip." Li Jin said. All the employees felt their knees weaken. They immediately scattered away like mice, afraid of being eaten.

"Where is Assistant Leng?" Li Jin said with his very cold voice. Every word he's spoken feels like it was coming from hell. It was very scary.

Assistant Leng immediately moved forward and responded, "Yes, Mr. President?"

Li Jin looked at him coldly and said, "Cancel all the meetings for today."

Assistant Leng was about to answer him but the door in front of him was immediately shut. He felt like crying right now. Their boss is so hard to subdue. Without a choice left, he followed his order at the end.

Li Jin inside the office was about to explode. He did not even sleep last night because he was so worried. This morning, he tried calling her but he couldn't reach her anymore.

Is she ignoring him?

Does she really dislike him that much?

Just with those thoughts, he became more furious. No. He must do something.

Then, Li Jin called Assistant Leng inside his office. Assistant Leng immediately went inside. "Yes, President. Is there something wrong?"

Li Jin rested his arms on the table and wore a very serious face. "Assistant Yang, do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Jin's unexpected question made Assistant Leng bewildered. "I-I do have a fiance, Boss."

Li Jin nodded and said, "What does it mean if your girlfriend or fiance did not contact you for a day?"

Assistant Leng finally realized the reason for their Boss' behavior today. It seems like Young Madam did not contact him.

"Well, there are many possibilities, Boss." Assistant Leng said seriously.

"Tell me." Li Jin said.

"Well, she might be busy or her phone battery died, that's why she did not contact me. Or she ignored me on purpose because she did not like me. Assistant Leng said honestly.

The room's temperature dropped more degrees Celsius, making Assistant Leng shiver.

"Get out." Li Jin coldly said.

Assistant Leng immediately fled away as soon as he said those words. It seems like he hit the sore spot of his Boss.

'She is ignoring me?' Li Jin thought.

Why?

He picked up his phone again and checked the messages. Not a single one came from Yang Zi since last night.

Li Jin: Xiao Zi, are you ignoring me?

Li Jin: Why can't I contact you?

Li Jin: Are you avoiding me, Yang Zi?

Li Jin: Did I do something wrong that made you upset, wifey?

Li Jin: Yang Zi.

Then he slammed his phone on the table.

Li Jin sent all those texts to Yang Zi, anxiously. He can't help but compare his past life and present life. Whenever he wants to see her, he can immediately go to her house. But now, he can't even contact her. This is giving Li Jin so much frustration.

Who would have expected that the mighty CEO Li is so clingy to his wife?
