CEO Above, Me Below

Chapter 54

The next day, Xiaonian cooked breakfast early in the morning .

She took off her apron and slowly made her way to the bedroom . Her leg was just sprained and if she was careful, she could walk around, albeit slowly .

Gong Ouyang was still sleeping on the bed, covered with a white quilt . He looked even more handsome, sleeping . His thick eyelashes against his cheeks, and his messy hair from their night of activity in the bed gave him a charming boys air . But all that, Xiaonian knew, was just an illusion . Once he was awake, he would be the annoying and overbearing person she knew he was .

She walked to the bed and sat by him to alleviate the ache on her leg, “Gong Ouyang, the breakfast is ready, you should get up and eat” she called out to him .

The man on the bed did not respond and continued sleeping .

Xiaonian pushed his arm, prodding it with her finger, “Get up, your breakfast is ready ah” she said again .

Seeing as he was still not waking up, she decided to come back later and made to get up, but a hand snaked around her waist and immediately pulled her back into the bed .

Xiaonian screamed in terror, scared out of her wits at the unexpected action .

Gong Ouyang laughed out loud at her theatrics .

This woman, wasn’t she a little too easy to prank?

“You weren’t sleeping!” she accused him, a curse much stronger than another rushing through her brain, all aimed at the sexy man lying on the bed before her .

“The scenery before me looks so beautiful that it seems a shame if I miss it” Gong Ouyang said with hooded eyes looking lecherously at her chest .

Xiaonian immediately looked down and saw that her pajama’s shirt stretched lower because of Gong Ouyang pulling her down and now it showed a little more spring time scenery than she wanted to be on display and immediately pulled it up .

Gong Ouyang lazily watched her trying to straighten her shirt and somehow it looked ten times more erotic than one of those women taking their clothes off .

“What’s the use of hiding anything from me now? What haven’t I seen before?” he nonchalantly asked her supporting his head in his palm .

Xiaonian looked at the sheets sliding down him and baring his chest and his lazy gaze and suddenly her face burned with a mixture of embarrassment and humiliation .

“Breakfast is ready, you should come to the kitchen” she remained him again before she got and walked out of the room without looking back at him

Gong Ouyang fell back on the pillow staring at the ceiling . It felt good coming back here, being with her . All those things and people at Senlin just felt like unnecessary and noise and distraction compared to this .

He remembered Xaonian’s response just now and unbidden, his lip curled into a mischievous smile .

He did so many shameful things to her in this very bed and still, she blushes at the sign of slightest tease . Does she realize that it would just whet a man’s appetite?

He made a quick call to few staff at Senlin to transfer his work and other things to TianZhi and went to join Xiaonian in the kitchen after a quick wash .

By the time he came to the kitchen, the breakfast already cooled and so Xiaonian was ordered to reheat their breakfast while Gong Ouyang sat in his chair leisurely and observed her very movement .

“Here” Xiaonian placed few dishes on the table and took the seat before Gong Ouyang and started eating .

Gong Ouyang looked at her gobbling her food and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, “eat a bit slower, it looks so unsightly when you are eating as if you have been starved for days . ”

He liked watching her eat her food, like a little animal, but eating like this, it was quite repulsive .

Xiaonian heard him clearly but her speed hadn’t quite decreased, she still kept shoveling food into her mouth .

She had lived with this man for quite a while and she knew that if she didn’t eat while she can, there won’t be any left for her to even fill the gap between her teeth .

“You don’t worry about me, you should just eat while the food is hot” she told him and resumed eating at her fastest speed .

Gong Ouyang raised an eyebrow at this and said nothing . He picked up his chop sticks and for the next few minutes the only sound that occupied the room was that of chopsticks clinking against the utensils .

Gong Ouyang soon finished his share and polished of the extra servings too, when he checked the last pot for food and found it empty, his eyes lifted over Xiaonian’s plate .

Xiaonian realized that he was intensely gazing at the fish on her plate, so she grabbed it and put it in her mouth first, as a preemptive attack .

Gong Ouyang’s gaze followed the fish and before she knew he quickly snatched it out oh her hands and mouth and ate it so naturally that for a moment Xiaonian wondered if she hadn’t imagined it to be her fish mistakenly .

“… . ”

Her fish!

Just f***ing flew away ah!

Gong ouyang saw her glaring at him quite hatefully but he raised one eyebrow as if taunting her and deliberately said, “mine” with an evil grin .

“… . . ”

If she had transformation abilities, Xiaonian vowed to herself, she would turn into a dog and pounce of him and bite him to shreds!

How dare he snatch her fish dammit!

Gong Ouayng started living with her in TianZhi once again starting that day and in the next few days the staff who left came back, and his stuff was moved back once again .

Xiaonian understood one thing: If you had money, people will even accept your pig like behavior and dog like behavior .

The annoyance at the unfair advantage of money to a tyrant like Gong Ouyang directly translated into her comics as she punished the president in her story with creative punishments .

Hmph!

This is all retribution!

Xiaonian started picking up the dishes when Gong Ouyang finished his breakfast . These days, he had breakfast regularly at Tianzhi and it became a habit to cook for him and clean up after him, after all she considered it as a sort of rent for staying in this apartment .

“Leave that stuff to the maids and come send me off” Gong Ouyang said as he picked up a file from his assistant by him and walked to the hall leafing through the file .

Xiaonian sighed .

This has become a new routine for them these days and it was something she was uncomfortable with .

Gong Ouyang stood at the door and looked at her coldly . Xiaonian quickly walked up to him and placed a kissed on his lips and stepped back before he could take advantage of it . If he did, it wouldn’t be the first time .

His assistant and bodyguards were waiting for him behind them and she really did not want to do those sort of things before other people .

A small glimmer of dissatisfaction passed through Gong Ouyang’s eyes but he quickly turned away and headed towards the elevator with his team .

Sighing with relief, Xiaonian locked the door behind her and headed towards her study .

Her leg had healed quite well without any problems and recently, her work on her comic had been going very well . The story was taking a shape and she and Xia Yu were now busy tweaking details on the drawings and profiles .

Once she sat down, she did not get up until a maid knocked on her door to remind her that it was time for her lunch .

Gong Ouyang found out that she was missing her meals and it was getting in the way of her leg healing properly from her nurse and he almost blew off a gasket threatening her with burning her study room .

Xiaonian was scared enough that she agreed to almost anything he said he wanted .

What else can she do?

Her work was her life ah!

So, if Gong Ouyang wasn’t eating at TianZhi, a maid cooked for her usually . Xiaonian still felt slightly uncomfortable at this arrangement, after all she was a commoner, but it did help a lot with her work so she learnt to turn a blind eye to it .

Around evening, her phone beeped signaling the arrival of a message and the name of the sender made Xiaonian go rigid for a second .

It was a message from Mu Qian Chu .

And it read: Xiaonian, I have the information about Tang Yi, meet me at 2horses coffee house the day after tomorrow at 8 . 30 and I can give you the information .

After reading the message, Xiaonian’s heart almost leapt out of her mouth .

She felt scared and excited at the same time . She read and reread the message on the screen to make sure she read it right .

This was what she wanted, and now it was here .

Xiaonian bit her lower lip trying to get herself in control of her emotions . She wanted to immediately reply that she would, but there was a small detail that niggled at her brain and she wanted to sort it out first before she did .

She asked Mu Qian Chu about Tang Yi just a few days ago and now he already had the information, but Gong Ouyang still had to say anything about it at all till now . She understood that he was busy man with many things to do, not to mention his temper, but she felt it was only right to inquire about Tang Yi from him one more time from him before she received the information from Mu Qian Chu . It would definitely be less problematic with Gong Ouyang that way .

With that decided, she waited until later dinner that day to speak with Gong Ouyang .

She knew not to talk about it before or during dinner, so she waited again until they were in the bedroom .

As usual, Gong Ouyang immediately went to working on her clothes, but this time Xiaonian put a hand on his to halt him, “Um, Gong Ouyang, that, I have something to ask you . . ” Xiaonian started .

Gong Ouyang bit down his irritation and stopped his actions looking at Xiaonian for further explanation . When Xiaonian made to sit up in a more comfortably he pressed her back into the bed trapping her waist in between his legs as he leaned over her, “you can tell me just like this” he told her smirking .

Xiaonian swallowed one or two choice curses but still managed to spit out a small smile .

“You remember I requested you the contact information of Tang Yi, my classmate?” she asked tentatively .

Gong Ouyang’s smirk gradually disappeared and his dark eyes froze over .

When Xiaonian found that Gong Ouyang did not say anything, she decided to push forward, “I just wanted to know if you found anything about her?”

Gong Ouyang straightened up over her, still trapping her in between his legs, “Why?”

Xiaonian eyebrows rose in surprise . What does he mean why? Did he not want to know what happened? The truth .

“I thought you would want to know about what happened back then?” she asked him .

Gong Ouyang’s eyes now frosted over and he stared at her intensely .

Xiaonian squirmed under his stare, “I just want to prove my innocence and…put a rest to all this blame . ”

Gong Ouyang quieted at her statement, staring at her face, a multitude of thoughts going behind his obscure eyes . His fingers slid up to her blouse and continued unbuttoning her .

Xiaonian looked at his eyes and lowered hers to look at his slender fingers working on her blouse buttons . It looked like she couldn’t ask him anymore .
