The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 148 If that day really comes, will you let me go?

As soon as they entered their home, they heard a respectful greeting: "Young Master, Miss Ye."

Ye Xingran discovered that the person standing in front of her was a strange maid.

She couldn't help but feel puzzled, because she had never seen this person before.

Ye Xingran turned her head to look at him beside her, seemingly wanting some explanation from him. "What about those two people from before?"

He said calmly, "I've been dismissed."

His tone was extremely calm, without the slightest ripple, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.

Ye Xingran's heart tightened. She had a very good impression of the two maids from before; they were diligent and considerate in their work.

"Why were they fired? What did they do wrong?" she couldn't help but ask.

He simply said casually, "I didn't do anything wrong, I just want to change the staff."

Ye Xingran was a little angry, feeling that he was acting too casually and without considering other people's feelings. "They've worked here for so long, and now they're suddenly being fired. What are they going to do?" She frowned, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing her anxious expression, he felt a strange unease, but he still said firmly, "This is none of your business." Ye Xingran bit her lip and said stubbornly, "I don't care, I want them back. Before, you imprisoned me here, and without them, I would have thought of escaping long ago."

Looking into her resolute eyes, his defenses crumbled slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Then let them come back."

After receiving the order, the housekeeper immediately dismissed the newly hired maids and then called Xiaosi and Sister Ling back to serve him.

Soon, Xiao Si and Sister Ling rushed back. Upon seeing Ye Xingran, both of their eyes reddened.

"Miss Ye..."

When it was time to eat, only Fu Shiyue and Ye Xingran were at the table in the hall.

The two people sat facing each other.

The huge hall was so quiet that only the occasional clinking of cutlery could be heard.

Ye Xingran kept her head down, focusing on the food on her plate, trying to avoid eye contact with him.

Fu Shiyue would occasionally glance at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Suddenly, she looked up, and their eyes met in the air.

Ye Xingran's eyes still held a hint of her stubbornness from earlier, while Fu Shiyue's eyes held a complex mix of emotions.

Here, it seems as if for a moment the air is filled with the faint scent of home cooking, and time itself stands still.

Ye Xingran sat quietly at the dining table, with Fu Shiyue sitting opposite her. His figure appeared exceptionally tall under the soft light.

If she were just an ordinary person, she might never have had any interaction with such a powerful figure as him. His world was filled with power, wealth, and glory, while Ye Xingran was just an ordinary nobody living on the fringes of society.

However, in that instant, a strong desire welled up in her heart.

She couldn't help but think that if she weren't from Yunmeng and hadn't faced any threats, perhaps she could have lived an ordinary and happy life.

There isn't much pressure or tasks; every day is simply about working, living, and spending time with family and friends.

But all of this is like an unattainable dream for her now. She carries too many tasks and secrets, and cannot easily escape them.

Fu Shiyue's existence was like an insurmountable chasm, separating her from that ordinary world.

"You can even get distracted while eating?" Fu Shiyue's deep voice broke the silence.

Ye Xingran snapped out of her daze, quickly lowered her head, and continued eating.

But Fu Shiyue had no intention of letting her off so easily. "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Ye Xingran hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth:

"I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if I could live an ordinary life."

Fu Shiyue was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected her to say that.

"An ordinary life? What's so good about it?" he said casually.

Ye Xingran raised her head and looked at him earnestly: "Ordinary life may not have so much wealth and glory, but it has simple joy and warmth. You don't have to live in calculation and pressure every day."

Fu Shiyue remained silent; he had never considered what an ordinary life would be like.

In his world, there was only constant competition and struggle. Looking into her longing eyes, he was suddenly moved.

"If you don't do these kinds of things in your next life, you can be a normal person."

Ye Xingran snorted coldly, "Next life? Who knows if there is a next life? Besides, I don't want to wait for the next life. Right now, I just want to get rid of all this."

He frowned slightly. "You want to get rid of me? Don't even think about it?"

"That's all you can say. Ordinary life is worthless in your eyes, but it's an unattainable dream for me!"

"Ha... Do you think the business competition and family feuds I face every day are easy? Do you think I want to live this kind of life?"

she says:

"That's your choice, but I've never had the right to choose."

Fu Shiyue was speechless at her words and fell silent again. He had never thought from her perspective.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the window, followed by rolling thunder, and large raindrops pounded against the glass.

"If one day we really end up on opposite sides, will you let me go?"

She slightly raised her eyes and looked at him.

Her clear eyes met his dark pupils, catching his gaze.

Looking into her earnest eyes, I felt a mix of emotions.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I don't know."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Xingran's eyes. She turned her head away and refused to look at him again.

Lightning flashed continuously, and thunder shook the windows.

The atmosphere inside the room was extremely oppressive.

He stood up and walked straight towards her.

He walked up to her, half-squatted down,

He lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye, his gaze locked on her eyes, trying to discern more emotion from them.

"Are you scared?" His voice was cold and stern, devoid of any warmth, calm and devoid of desire.

Ye Xingran glared at him stubbornly, "I'm not afraid, I just want to know your answer."

The rain outside the window was pouring down harder and harder, and the wind was howling as if it wanted to tear the world apart.

Looking at her stubborn yet vulnerable appearance, a string in his heart was plucked hard.

“Don’t even think about having the chance to stand against me.” His voice was a little hoarse. “I will never let that happen.”

She hadn't expected him to say that. "Fu Shiyue, you may not be able to control everything. Some things just happen, and that's that."

"For example?" he asked her in return.

If one day it really comes down to me confronting him...

What will happen?

She hoped that day would never come.

If she could, she would go somewhere where no one knew her.

To live out the rest of my life...

This is what she thought.

What Fu Shiyue was thinking was...

He won't let that day happen.

He wouldn't let her stand on the opposite side of him, nor would he let her get rid of him.

She can only belong to herself, and for the rest of her life, she can only belong to herself.

No one can take her away from me!

The two looked at each other.

Everyone had their own thoughts...

He suddenly swept her up in his arms and carried her towards the stairs.

Ye Xingran gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. "What are you doing?" she asked, both embarrassed and annoyed.

He didn't answer, but hurried upstairs to his room. The wind lashed against the windows, and rain poured down.

He kicked open the bedroom door, gently placed her on the bed, and then pressed himself against her. Ye Xingran's heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, and she tried to push him away, but he held her tightly. "You... don't be impulsive."

Her voice trembled slightly, and as he looked at her flustered state, the impulse within him grew even stronger.

"I don't want you to have the chance to leave me; I want you to belong to me completely."

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, but inside, the atmosphere was as intense as flames. Ye Xingran sensed his feelings, and her defenses gradually crumbled. She closed her eyes, no longer resisting.

On this stormy night, their relationship seemed to have taken a new turn, and no one could predict what the future held...
