After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Being held so intimately by Xu Xinran, Zhou Yu felt no sweetness, only indescribable torment and humiliation.

In his past life, he fell in love with her like a fool, loving her to the point of losing himself. In this life, he still cannot control his own destiny, not even whether or not he should stay by her side.

"Zhou Yu, I still prefer to see you smile. Smile at me more often, okay?" Xu Xinran said coquettishly.

But how could he possibly laugh? Everything now is against his will.

"I've listened to you. When are you going to let me see them?" Zhou Yu asked, barely suppressing his anger.

The smile on Xu Xinran's face gradually disappeared, and her tone turned cold.

“You know, I can do many things as you please, but I don’t like it when you talk to me in this transactional tone.”

Her fingers gently brushed against his earlobe, and her warm breath brushed against his face, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, suppressing the humiliation and anger in his heart.

"I beg you... let me see them, I just want to know how they are doing now."

Seeing Zhou Yu's submissive appearance, Xu Xinran felt quite pleased with herself, and at the same time wanted to tease him even more. "Sure, as long as you're willing to give me a kiss."

Should I kiss her first?

Zhou Yu was shocked. How could this be!

He hurriedly tried to break free from her grasp, but felt her arms tighten around him even more.

"Does this mean... they don't want to see them anymore?"

mean!

Zhou Yu cursed inwardly. Xu Xinran's presence enveloped him tightly, just like last night, and those unbearable memories instantly flooded his mind.

Resentment, humiliation... a mix of negative emotions made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Xu Xinran...you're a madman!"

Seeing that Zhou Yu was truly angry, Xu Xinran felt a pang of pity. She thought of what had happened last night and felt a wave of guilt.

"Okay, don't be angry, I was just teasing you."

Xu Xinran gently kissed his forehead and softly comforted him, "Be good, eat first, and I'll let you see them after you finish eating."

Zhou Yu looked at her suspiciously: "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xu Xinran said, feigning composure.

He fell silent. This woman was truly shameless. Hadn't she lied to him countless times already?

But at this moment, he had no other choice but to temporarily trust her.

Just then, the servant brought in the freshly prepared meal.

"Could you... get off me first? How am I supposed to eat like this?"

Xu Xinran remained unmoved, simply picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of spare rib, and held it to Zhou Yu's lips, her tone slightly mocking.

"Come, let me feed you."

She still had her other hand on his neck, as if she wouldn't let him leave until he ate.

Zhou Yu felt helpless, but he could only open his mouth and bite down on the rib.

At this moment, he had no interest in savoring the deliciousness of the ribs; he was just chewing mechanically, as if completing a task.

Seeing how cooperative he was, Xu Xinran laughed even harder.

As she fed him, she gently wiped the sauce from the corner of his lips with a tissue and softly asked, "Would you like some soup?"

Zhou Yu was filled with resentment, but he could only nod.

He knew he couldn't afford to waste any more time, since he needed her help. He desperately wanted to know the whereabouts of Shen Shuqing and her daughter, so he could only endure her manipulation for the time being.

After dinner, Zhou Yu eagerly pressed her, "I did everything you said, so when exactly can I see them? Give me a definite time!"

"It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's lips twitched with anger.

He glared at Xu Xinran with resentment and roared, "Why did you go back on your word? Have you done something to them?"

Xu Xinran didn't seem to mind. Instead, she hooked his chin with her finger and laughed heartily.

"Zhou Yu, you know what, you look kind of cute when you're angry. But, I never said I'd let you see him right away."

Zhou Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He knew that Xu Xinran was a master in business and could argue with anyone.

He couldn't win the argument with her no matter what, so he could only grit his teeth and ask, "What exactly do you want?"
