Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 226

The sun seeped into a large room through the opened curtains. The birds were chirping and the sky was bright.

Yang Chen groaned as the rays of light hit his eyes. Turning away from the disturbing light, he let out another painful cry.

"Argh! Damn it. Why does my head have to ache so much?" He whined as he massage his head.

He picked up his phone beside him on the bed to check what time it was. He sighed.

"Quarter past eight. *yawn* I do not want to go to work today."

He threw his phone on the bed and adjusted himself in a more comfortable position so that he could resume his sleep.

After a while, his eyes opened again. Yang Chen could not sleep because of a painful headache. Without further ado, he lazily slipped off his bed and walked into the bathroom.

He washed his face and teeth before heading out of his room.

"I need to make a hangover soup and then I will give a call to Yi Changying to inform her about my absence from work today," he planned.

Just as he was approaching his kitchen, he heard noises coming from there. From what he knew, Li Fengjin and Ye Chaoxiang were not at his place.

\'Who could it be then? Am I being robbed?\' He asked himself.

Not making his movement heard, he slowly walked to the kitchen. There, he saw the back view of a lady in black shorts and a shirt. She busied herself with her work that she did not notice the arrival of a certain someone.

Yang Chen sighed in relief when he saw who it was. He just stood by the door watching her with a smile he was unaware of. Thinking of scaring her, Yang Chen stalked closer to her.

"What are you doing?"

"Gasp. Aahh!" Yi Changying joked in shock and screamed as she accidentally poured hot soup on her hand

"Tsk. You are so clumsy. Come over here," he said as he dragged her to the tap by the sink.

He turned on the tap and placed her hands under the rushing cool water to reduce the burning sensation she felt.

All this while, Yi Changying remained stiff. The closeness between her boss and herself was far too overwhelming for her poor brain. She could smell his scent and feel the toned muscles of his chest on her back.

GULP

\'So close,\' she whispered in her head.

"Does it still hurt?" He asked close to her ears.

His hot breath on her skin made her shiver involuntarily and her ears burned red. Yang Chen smirked as he observed the little assistant standing in front of him.

He could not help but think she looked adorable being all shy and red. Wanting to tease her more all of a sudden, he asked again.

"Yi Changying, I asked you a question concerning your hand. Does it still hurt?"

"N-no, it doesn\'t," Yi Changying stuttered.

"Great," he said.

Taking her by her shoulders, he led her back to her original spot. Yi Changying took as a cue that she should continue with what she was doing. So, she then took the stirring spoon and stored the content of the pot.

"I never knew that you were a scaredy-cat."

"I am not a scaredy-cat. You were the one who snuck up on me. Anyone in my shoes would be scared, boss," she pouted.

"Whatever. So what are you cooking?" He asked as he looked down at the pot from behind her.

"I am making a hangover soup for you, boss."

"Oh! Yi Changying, are we at work?" Yang Chen asked.

"No."

"Ah! Then, why are you referring to me as boss? Have you forgotten my name already?" Yang Chen taunted her.

He turned her around so that she was now facing him. While he placed his hands on the counter, caging her between them. His gaze was a little bit intimidating along with their obvious height difference.

"How many times have I told you about this?" He asked.

"I am sorry. It just slipped out of my tongue," Yi Changying quickly said.

"Oh? Then, how about I punish that tongue of yours?"

​ "Wha-mm."

Yang Chen silenced her with a fervent kiss. It took Yi Changying by surprise at first but then she sloppily returned his kiss. They stopped when the both of them were almost out of breath.

With his forehead resting on hers, they caught their breath gradually.

"When are you going to give me an answer? I do not think I can wait anymore," he whispered against her face.

"I stopped sleeping around. You saw how wasted I was last night when you came to get me from that club," he added with a slight frustration in his baritone voice.

"I-I... You are my boss and I am your assistant. It would not be appropriate for us to be in a relationship. Can\'t you at least understand that?" Yi Changying said softly.

"I do not think I do. If it were to be in a situation whereby you, my assistant do not have feelings for me, her boss, then maybe I would have understood. Even at that, I would do everything possible to make you fall for me," Yang Chen started.

"But in our case, our situation... I, the boss have feelings for you, the assistant. And you, the assistant also have feelings for me, the boss," he reasoned out.

"But-"

"No buts," he interrupted her. "Listen to me, babe. I regret having you send those flings I have had home. I regret being with other women when you were longing to be with me. I have always hated love because of what happened to my friends. But with you, I started understanding what they felt and are feeling now with their newfound love."

"That is it. You just want me to be an experiment to find that feeling. I have been thinking about it and I have concluded that you, Yang Chen, you do not love me the way I have always had," Yi Changying expressed her thoughts.

"What? How can you say that? Of course, I love you. Who would not?" He asked rhetorically. But he had never expected that she would produce an answer to his question.

"My ex-boyfriend does not love me. If he had he would not have cheated on me," she voiced out her thoughts.

"0_0"

"I see where the problem lies."

Switching off the gas cooker, Yang Chen dragged Yi Changying out of the kitchen to the living room and made her sit facing him.

"Look. I know your ex-boyfriend was a jerk by having an affair with another chick. But I promise you that I am not like that," ge said.

Yi Changying coughed sarcastically as she gave him the \'are you kidding me kind of look.

"Sigh. Okay, I know that I am... I mean was a playboy but I am ready to change that. You witnessed it yourself. I did not look or smile or wink or sleep with any woman for two months," he emphasized the two. Yi Changying gave him the same look as before letting him know she knew him well.

"Okay fine. I did look at other women," Yang Chen admitted. "But not more than once," he quickly added making Yi Changying laugh at him.

"Tsk. Look at you laughing at me in my dilemma. What a bad girlfriend I have," he said with a pout. "Can\'t you at least just give me a chance to prove to you that I am not that asshole? Give us a chance, please," he begged with cute puppy eyes and pouting lips.

Yang Chen had been confessing his love for Yi Changying, his assistant for the last two months. But he has yet to receive an answer from his beloved.

He hound out about his feelings for her when they were still in City X but he still had doubts, so he never told anyone about it. Not even his buddies.

After they came to City A and stayed, he has begun to understand and be sure of what he felt. Then, Yang Chen got to know about Yi Changying\'s feelings for him from one of his flings when they were together in a hotel.

Ironic right? Yeah, I feel you guys.

Immediately ge got that piece of news, he left without a word. He had wanted to confront get about it but ge stopped himself.

Knowing her well, she would deny his claims with that emotionless and professional face of hers. So he decided to observe her.

He made sure to make body contact with her and stare intently at her sometimes. From all his tests, he concluded from her reaction- her stuttering when they were close, he slight trembling when they touched and her red face and ears when he was staring at her.

All those reactions made him realise that his love, was not one-sided.
