My Assistant Is CEO - C45
Xia Ying gradually stopped resisting, and only then did Zhong Zhen slightly relax.
She spoke out her thoughts, “I was conflicted from the beginning about whether I should tell you this, but I hope I can let you know the truth about me, so I hesitated. If you feel that my concealment has hurt you, then please tell me. As long as you don’t leave me. ”
Xia Ying’s eyes lit up slightly. Zhong Zhen continued, “I know the fear and dread in your heart, but at least give me some trust, okay?”
Xia Ying looked at Zhong Zhen, but she still compromised. He knew very well that even if it was a lie, he would not hesitate to fall into it. Was this what it meant to be in love? It seemed very dangerous.
“I just want to ask you, do you like her?” Xia Ying still asked.
Zhong Zhen followed Xia Ying’s gaze and found Odile, who was standing not far away. Now, Zhong Zhen finally understood the reason why she was so sad.
“Of course not. If I did, why would I go to China to be your assistant and chase you? We grew up together, and if we had any feelings, we would have married a long time ago. Both of our parents were looking forward to this, but I didn’t like her at all. I really just thought of her as a little sister. ”
“Really?”
“Of course!” Zhong Zhen laughed and pulled Xia Ying closer into her embrace, “So this is what you’re truly afraid of? “I’m really happy. You’re going to be jealous of me for all this, haha …”
Xia Ying rolled her eyes at him, “Are you really called Zhong Zhen?”
“Eh, you can’t be angry about this. Not really. ”
Xia Ying endured her temper and frowned.
Zhong Zhen felt his legs go weak, “I – I am actually called Xue Minghuang, but because I grew up in China, I have been called Zhong Zhen for a longer time, and only got called Xue Minghuang here. “Don’t be angry.”
“I really didn’t expect that after knowing you for so many days, I actually don’t even know your name.”
Zhong Zhen knew that she was very angry, and had no choice but to calm her emotions. However, it was very good, just now it gave Zhong Zhen a big shock, thinking that Xia Ying really wanted to break up with him. Zhong Zhen had never thought that he would still have such a day.
“There are too many things I don’t know about you.”
“You just need to know a little bit?”
“What?” Xia Ying looked at him, not knowing what tricks he was trying to pull.
“I love you for that.”
Xia Ying rolled his eyes at him. This glib tongued appearance was really annoying.
However, after saying that, he also laughed, “I’m not that numb to everyone. Xia Ying, you will be the first, and also the last. ”
Looking at the smile on Zhong Zhen’s face, Xia Ying felt it even more real than before. She really did not know what to do with, or what to do with her heart.
Suddenly, the cruise ship started to shake, Zhong Zhen grabbed onto Xia Ying who almost fell down, why is there such a violent shaking in such a calm ocean? The uneasiness and fear in his heart slowly increased.
His phone started ringing in time, without any hesitation, Zhong Zhen picked it up, it was Jing Feng, his tone was extremely anxious, he almost shouted out loud: “Mr. Xue, get off the boat!”
“It’s too late.” Zhong Zhen knew that it was already too late, and the reality was as he had expected. In the end, he still asked Jing Feng, “Explain the specific details.”
“O’neal has a plan to hijack this cruise and our people are on their way. Mr. Xue must hold on until we come to save you, so hide first. “Faster!”
Zhong Zhen immediately cut off his phone, turned around and held onto Xia Ying’s shoulders, “Now, don’t ask anything, listen to me. The situation is very urgent, quickly leave me and go into the crowd. They probably didn’t find you and will be safe if you stay far away from me, quickly! ”
After saying that, he pushed Xia Ying away, and just as he was about to turn and leave, Xia Ying held onto Zhong Zhen’s hand, and ran to the second floor, “How could I abandon you and run away?” Xia Ying didn’t know why, but she was completely sure that Zhong Zhen’s words were true, and she believed the so called ‘Ten Thousand Fire Urgent’ danger.
Zhong Zhen let Xia Ying pull her, and ran around the shaky banquet hall. Her hair brushed against his face, and it was itchy, but her heart felt the same way.
The two of them squatted in the hiding place on the second floor. The position here was very good, and they could overlook the entire view downstairs. The two were very close, and Xia Ying could feel that something was hiding behind his jacket at the back of his waist.
It was hard to tell how she felt in her heart. She was afraid that this time, the danger was really life-threatening, but she wasn’t afraid at all. Was it because she was holding his hand? Xia Ying couldn’t help but ask herself in his heart.
Zhong Zhen looked at the increasingly flustered crowd below him, then turned to Xia Ying and asked, “Are you afraid?”
Xia Ying looked straight at Zhong Zhen, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes, “I’m not afraid.”
This look and this sentence, seemed to have given Zhong Zhen a lot of courage, “The person who saved us is still on his way, as long as we can avoid him.”
Xia Ying looked at him and nodded.
Zhong Zhen looked at Xia Ying’s face and suddenly felt very afraid and hesitant, “Their goal is me, I don’t want to involve you, you understand? I really want to be selfish and keep you by my side, but that won’t do. Xia Ying, you can go! Go downstairs, or somewhere else! “No, I’ll still go!”
After saying all this without any logic, Zhong Zhen really intended to stand up and leave the cabinet. Xia Ying grabbed her neck and whispered into her ear, “Don’t go. We’ll face it together, okay? ”
Zhong Zhen’s heart softened. How could he leave this kind of Xia Ying? Dangerous, you know? ”
“If you don’t leave, and we stay together, I won’t be afraid!” Xia Ying’s words were firm, and he was still tightly holding onto Zhong Zhen’s arm. Zhong Zhen was truly helpless now.
“Alright, let’s hide here for a while. It’s really good to have you by my side. Let me be selfish for once. ”
Zhong Zhen looked at Xia Ying, and suddenly felt that this was good as well. It was good as long as they could be together. Had he already loved her to this extent? It was unbelievable.
There was a commotion downstairs, as if a lot of people had rushed in. The crowd screamed in horror, but was quickly stopped. In the blink of an eye, the entire hall became extremely quiet. This silence hid a huge threat.
He only heard a low roar, “Search!” When Zhong Zhen heard this, he knew it was O’neal.
Zhong Zhen was so nervous that he was trembling. Zhong Zhen held her tightly in his embrace, and could clearly feel that someone was getting closer and closer. The closer they got, the more Xia Ying felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.
Now that he understood that everything was not a joke, it was extremely dangerous. Xia Ying didn’t even know where she got the courage from.
The moment that hand pulled open the cabinet, Xia Ying saw more and more light. Zhong Zhen placed his hand behind his back and pressed on the spear, everything was extremely urgent.
At this moment, he heard someone say from not too far away, “Hey, over here!”
The moment she retracted her hand, Xia Ying almost fainted on the spot. The two of them smiled at each other and snuggled closer to each other.
For a long time, there was no response from outside. O’neal said: “Useless! How could he possibly fly in such a big place? Go find another one for me! I don’t believe it, you all go! “Search them all!”
“Yes sir!”
After a while, he heard Odile’s voice, “Let go of me!” Odile struggled, and was dragged in front of O’neal. O’neal looked at her and became even more certain, “Speak! Where is Xue Minghuang? ”
“I don’t know!” Odile tilted her head, not even wanting to look at him.
This kind of contemptuous attitude angered O’neal even more. He walked forward and directly slapped Odile, and at this time, Xue Minghuang could not hold it in anymore. How could he hit a woman? He still heard Odile say: “Mr. Xue received the news a long time ago, you came too late, he has already left! It’s useless even if you hit me. ”
O’neal carefully determined if what she said was true or false. Could it be that Xue Minghuang had really left?
Xia Ying grabbed onto Xue Minghuang and shook his head. Odile said this because she hoped to protect Xue Minghuang. She definitely wouldn’t want to see him send himself to his death.
O’neal suddenly stopped forcing Odile, “It doesn’t matter, whether Xue Minghuang is on the cruise or not, we will know soon enough! “Someone, bring her in.”
O’neal looked at the woman who remained silent the entire time, and directly walked over, “What happened? Afraid that he would lure Xue Minghuang out to die? “Humph!” O’neal immediately went forward and pinched her chin. A chop was a slap.
That soft voice was like a blade that stabbed straight into Xue Minghuang’s heart. It was Sophie! He was actually going all out like this? Found Sophie!
Xia Ying felt his body stiffen for a moment, she did not know who the woman outside was, but her heart was immediately filled with unease. Was it the woman in the photo?
Xue Minghuang was holding onto her arm, not willing to let go. She felt that in the next moment, regardless of whether Xue Minghuang was dead or alive, the person in front of her would no longer belong to him. Xia Ying’s tears kept dripping down his face. The voice was barely audible, “No.”
Xue Minghuang tried his best to struggle free from her, “Xia Ying, I can’t do it.” His tone was extremely pained.
“Because I love her? Right? ”
Xue Minghuang was truly silent. The moment he heard her voice, he really did not know the true answer in his heart. However, perhaps it wasn’t love after all. No matter who it was, he would not allow it. He would die for himself. He did not want to kill anyone, nor did he want to implicate anyone. However, as long as he was Xue Minghuang, it was impossible.
Xia Ying painfully closed her eyes, but she still held tightly onto his arm, unwilling to let go, unwilling to let go. Xia Ying told herself in her heart that she was still wrong and lost.
