The Ultimate Devil's Magnificent CEO

"What did my grandpa say to you? Why do you have such a sleazy grin?"

On the way back, Chu Yan frowned as she looked at Zhou Fan in the passenger seat, who was sporting an incredibly sleazy grin.

"He said we should try our best to have a baby this year!" Zhou Fan certainly wasn't going to tell her the truth. 'If I told Chu Yan that her grandpa wants me to woo Gu Feifei, use her to get into the Gu Family, and then figure out a way to get my hands on the hundred-year-old Profound Spirit Grass, she'd probably not only kick me out of the car but might even drive back and demolish the ancestral hall!'

"Don't be ridiculous! Even if… even if we started today, we couldn't have a baby this year. The year ends in less than three months!" Chu Yan's face instantly flushed crimson, as mesmerizing as the evening glow of a sunset.

"Then we'll just have to work extra hard to have one next year!" Zhou Fan grinned mischievously as his hand snuck out and rested on Chu Yan's leg.

Since Chu Yan hadn't gone to the office today, she wasn't in her usual uniform. Instead, she wore a white dress. As she drove, the hem conveniently rode up, giving Zhou Fan a nice little bonus.

"Stop it, I'm driving!"

Chu Yan swatted at Zhou Fan's hand in a panic while trying to watch the road. She was a flustered mess.

"Then it'll be okay once we get home, right?"

"We'll see when we get back!"

"Nope. You have to promise me first, or I'm not letting go!"

"Get your hand off me! Fine, I promise, isn't that good enough?"

If any of Fenghua International's employees were to witness this scene, their jaws would hit the floor. The president, whom they knew as a woman who was always composed under pressure and as cold as ice, was now red-faced and flustered, her voice tinged with a pleading, coquettish tone.

Zhou Fan smugly withdrew his hand. It was a real sense of accomplishment to make a woman like Chu Yan react this way. For some reason, for just a fleeting moment, he had the thought of spending the rest of his life with her just like this.

He lit a cigarette, trying to banish the immature thought from his mind. 'I still have to go to the Gu Family and seize the hundred-year-old Profound Spirit Grass. I have to recover my strength, go back and get my revenge, and kill those two traitors, Ye Fei and Zhao Ya, with my own hands!'

'Wise men don't fall in love. I can't even be bothered with dating!'

Zhou Fan repeated this to himself, over and over.

"Honey, are your injuries all healed now?"

"That man from this morning… was he the same one we just met at Grandpa's house? Then why did it seem like he didn't recognize you?"

"Honey, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?"

But just as Zhou Fan was steeling himself against love, warning himself not to lose his head, Chu Yan's voice—like a haunting melody in a quiet valley—chipped away at his mental defenses, again and again.

He was at his breaking point.

Zhou Fan turned to look at Chu Yan, his expression one of utter exasperation. He had only known this woman for a short while, yet they had been through so much together. Without him even realizing it, she had carved out an important place in his heart.

'Damn it, why do you have to be so beautiful?'

'Why do you have to have such an amazing body?'

'Can't you just go back to being the ice-queen CEO you were at the start?'

"What's there to think about? And wow, 'Honey,' you're getting really good at saying that word!"

"Don't change the subject. Were you thinking about some other woman?"

"What other woman? I've got the most beautiful woman in the world sitting right here next to me. Why would I need to think about anyone else?"

"Hmph. Don't think I don't know where you went and what you did last night!"

The two of them bickered all the way home.

Late that night, they lay in each other's arms, sharing pillow talk.

"Honey, why do you think Chu Yifeng keeps targeting me over and over? I've already left the Chu Family; it's not like I'm going to fight them over the inheritance!"

"Because he's greedy. People are insatiable," Zhou Fan explained softly, though his hands were starting to wander again, earning him a bashful slap from Chu Yan.

"Honey, will you teach me kung fu? You know, the powerful kind that lets you take on a ton of people at once, just like you!"

"No way. Training is too hard. From now on, I'll be in charge of hitting other people for you. You can just be in charge of hitting me, honey."

"Honey, you're so good to me. Why didn't fate bring you to me sooner?" A sweet smile touched the corners of Chu Yan's lips. She turned to face Zhou Fan, hugged him tightly, and nuzzled her head against his chin like a kitten.

Chu Yan had never imagined she would act so intimately with a man, let alone that simply being in a man's embrace could give her such a profound sense of security.

Chu Yan came from an unhappy home. Because she was a girl, her parents had never shown her the slightest affection, to say nothing of the warmth of a close-knit family. As a result, she had told herself since she was young that she would never fall in love, and certainly never get married. She could live a perfectly good life all on her own.

She had never expected that what started as a fake marriage would end with her falling for this man in just a few short days.

"It's not too late now, honey. Let's enjoy this beautiful night together!"

With a great cry, as if transforming into a werewolf, Zhou Fan flipped over and pounced!
