A Chance Marriage: Pick up a CEO to be a husband

Chapter 22

The next day, in the studio of VF Magazine.

Su Xiaonian wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish between work and work. Since she had already agreed to the chief editor's request, she would definitely do a good job.

After a night, she had calmed down a lot.

If Ye Zechen was deliberately getting close to her because of her looks, then couldn't she stay away from him?

The background wall had already been adjusted according to the requirements. When Su Xiaonian arrived, it was basically ready for the shoot.

But soon, she realized that there was no one in the huge studio!

Although she had received the notice to clear the set, it was the first time that it had been cleaned up so cleanly.

The assistant had told her that Elliott was in the changing room at the moment.

Su Xiaonian waited for a long time, and it was almost time for the shoot …

Ye Zechen didn't come out of the changing room. He put the camera aside and walked towards the changing room.

Knock, knock, knock. He curled his fingers and knocked on the door of the changing room.

Before she could continue, the door was suddenly opened from the inside. Su Xiaonian felt her wrist being grabbed, and before she could react … she was already pinned against the door by Ye Zechen.

"I was still wondering when you would come looking for me."

His simple white shirt revealed the coldness in his bones. After a night, the palm print on his face had already disappeared.

"Mr. Elliott, please let go of me."

Su Xiaonian's face was cold, and it was obvious that she was resisting.

"Are you still angry?" Ye Zechen carefully observed every expression on her face. He wasn't surprised that she would continue shooting today.

After all, he had seen her achievements over the years. She wasn't a woman who couldn't distinguish between public and private interests.

"If you continue to do this, I'll have to call the police."

Su Xiaonian sneered and didn't avoid his gaze. She looked up at him, and there was an indescribable resistance in her eyes.

"Xiaonian …"

"Since Mr. Elliott likes your wife so much, please don't taint this relationship. A substitute will always be a substitute!"

Su Xiaonian didn't want to hear what he was going to say. She felt suffocated, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Anyone who found out that they had been substituted would not feel good.

Ye Zechen looked down at her, lowered his head to look at that stubborn little face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You're not a substitute. The photo yesterday …"

"Mr. Elliott, we're working now. I don't want to talk about your private affairs!"

Su Xiaonian became even more annoyed when she mentioned the photo yesterday. She subconsciously refused to talk about this topic.

Su Xiaonian struggled out of his arms and tried to put some distance between them.

"If you're done changing, please come out as soon as possible."

After saying that, Su Xiaonian turned around and left the changing room, leaving Ye Zechen to look at her back … Su Xiaonian had to tell the truth.

Ye Zechen was a natural clothes rack. Even if it was an ordinary white shirt, he could wear it like a famous brand.

After leaving the changing room, Su Xiaonian asked the stylist to do a simple style for him.

When the stylist came out of the changing room, she covered her face with both hands. Her face was as red as a peach blossom.

When she saw Su Xiaonian, she couldn't help but compliment Elliott on how handsome and polite he was. She almost praised him to the heavens.

Not long after, Ye Zechen walked out of the changing room.

After the stylist left, only Su Xiaonian and Ye Zechen were left in the huge studio.

"Sit over there." Su Xiaonian didn't even look at him. She turned around and adjusted the camera to the best angle.

She was talking about the high chair. Ye Zechen walked over and sat down. He bent one leg to support the leg of the chair, while the other leg was casually placed on the floor.

It was a simple action, but it easily showed the tightness of his thighs. It made Su Xiaonian subconsciously think of the night before yesterday …

She shook her head violently to get rid of the thoughts in her mind. After adjusting the lighting, she started shooting normally.

He wasn't a natural collaborator. After discussing with VF, Su Xiaonian was going to shoot mainly in black and white. In fact, the simpler the color, the more difficult it was.

"Would you believe me if I told you that you're not a substitute?"

Ye Zechen said in a low voice. Su Xiaonian's hand that was holding the camera couldn't help trembling.

"Mr. Elliott, it's working time now." Her voice was calm, but there was a huge amount of anger hidden under the calmness.

"Would you think I'm crazy if I said that you're my wife?" Ye Zechen said again the next second.

This time, Su Xiaonian couldn't stay calm anymore. Her hand that was holding the camera became more and more stiff. In the end, she moved it away from her face.

"Are you crazy?"

Did she need someone else to tell her whether she was married or not?

"Su Tuantuan is our son!" Ye Zechen's face was cold and serious, but Su Xiaonian looked at him like she had gone crazy.

She was still holding the camera in her hand, but her whole body was trembling. He didn't know if she was scared by him or angry by him.

"Ye Zechen, do you know what you're saying?" Su Xiaonian's mind was blank, and her fingers were cold.

"Five years ago, Lisa took you away when you had just given birth to Su Tuantuan."

Ye Zechen looked at the shocked Su Xiaonian. His expression couldn't be calmer, as if he was describing the weather in Manhattan today.

However, one could imagine the storm that was stirred up in Su Xiaonian's body by those words.

Ye Zechen got down from the high stool and approached her step by step.

"Ye … Ye Zechen …" Su Xiaonian retreated until her back was pressed against the workbench. She only stopped when she had nowhere to retreat!

"If you don't believe me, I can hire the most authoritative expert to test if your DNA and Su Tuantuan's match!"

Ye Zechen walked up to her. Because the studio had been cleared, no one would see their actions at this time.

He reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, just like he did every time.

"I … I …" Su Xiaonian repeated the word 'I' a few times. Then, without looking back, she ran away …

Su Xiaonian felt like she was going crazy! She had never thought that one day, a man would fall from the sky and tell her that she had a son with him five years ago!

Su Tuantuan was her son? Was he her and Ye Zechen's son?

Su Xiaonian gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. She felt like her brain was a mess, and she couldn't find any clues at all.

Su Xiaonian couldn't help but cry at the thought of that clingy little ball.

She wanted to ask Ye Zechen if he was lying to her, but her intuition told her that he wouldn't joke about something like that.

Five years ago, it was Lisa who took you away when you had just given birth to Su Tuantuan.

Lisa! Su Xiaonian raised her head abruptly. She was going to ask her!

However, she didn't notice that the car behind her was moving in an abnormal S-shape at an extremely fast speed.

There was a loud bang! Just as Su Xiaonian couldn't react in time, the car behind her suddenly caught up, and the airbag instantly popped out …

Our Xiaonian is as beautiful as the stars in the sky.

Our Little Nian is the prettiest girl in the world.

That's why we are people in the same world. Other than us, everyone else is called 'them'!

Even though the first half of my life was hard and I had no one to rely on, even though I had hated the heavens ten thousand times, I still feel that I am very lucky. Because I met you, fell in love with you, and I can die without regrets to be with you.

Su Xiaonian felt that her body was floating up and down, like a drifting algae that could not find its roots.

There seemed to be a man calling her name and saying something to her. She was in a daze, but she couldn't hear him clearly.

In my eyes, Xiaonian is the best person. No one can compare to her.

Xiaonian, you think you're not outstanding enough, but …

— Am I not also covered in wind and rain, lonely and miserable?

Su Xiaonian slowly opened her eyes, and her vision blurred for a moment.

"Xiaonian? Xiaonian? "A voice rang out beside her. Su Xiaonian looked in the direction of the voice.

After a long while, she finally focused her vision.

"Chen … Junhao?" Her voice was broken and a little hoarse.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaonian felt herself being pulled into his arms. It was so tight that she couldn't breathe.

"You scared me to death, you know?"

He was in a meeting at the company when he received the call from the hospital. When he heard about her accident, he immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed over.

"I …" Su Xiaonian was still a little confused. She remembered that she was driving on the road.

"The person behind you just smoked marijuana."

Chen Junhao had a lingering fear, and even his hands that were holding her were still trembling.

"I have something … to ask you," Su Xiaonian said softly.

"Five years ago, I had … a child?"

Chen Junhao suddenly looked up …

Ye Zechen was sitting on the sofa in the presidential suite, thinking about something.

Su Tuantuan crossed her arms in front of her chest, obviously angry with him. As for the stupid dog, Oscar, he was lying by his little master's feet.

"You said that Mommy would come to us soon!"

Su Tuantuan's face was puffed up, making his chubby face look even cuter.

Ye Zechen didn't say anything. He just glanced at his son coldly.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Su Tuantuan jumped up from the sofa, surprised. He was about to open the door when Ye Zechen grabbed the back of his neck.

"Daddy, open the door … Mommy …" Su Tuantuan was about to cry.

"I'll go." Ye Zechen reached out and covered his son's head. He was a little nervous, so he adjusted his collar slightly.

Then, he walked over and opened the door.

When he saw that it was Su Xiaonian, his eyebrows furrowed.

Her face was pale, and there was a bloody gauze on her forehead. It was obvious that she had been in an accident.

"Mommy …" Su Tuantuan was blocked by Ye Zechen's strong body, so he couldn't see Su Xiaonian clearly. He could only jump back and forth behind him.

"Xiaonian?" Ye Zechen had just finished speaking when Su Xiaonian tugged at his sleeve.

Her lips, which were as pale as her face, were slightly pursed, and her clear eyes were filled with tears. It was obvious that she was experiencing pain.

Before she could say anything, tears streamed down her face.

"I want … I want to see Tuantuan …"

Su Xiaonian finally managed to put together such a complete sentence, and she couldn't stop her tears.

"Mommy, Tuantuan is here, here …"

Su Tuantuan waved his hand desperately, wanting Su Xiaonian to see him.

Ye Zechen turned his body slightly, allowing Su Xiaonian to see Su Tuantuan.

In the next second, Su Xiaonian slowly walked over, squatted on the ground, and hugged Su Tuantuan in her arms, crying her heart out!

Su Tuantuan was shocked. He didn't move at all, allowing Su Xiaonian to hug him and cry.

After a long while, he came back to his senses. He placed his soft little hand on Su Xiaonian's shoulder and patted it slowly.

"Mommy, don't cry. Tuantuan, protect Mommy …"

Even the silly husky, Oscar, trotted over obediently and stuck out his tongue to lick Su Xiaonian's fingers. He kept howling.

Chen Junhao's face appeared outside the door.

Ye Zechen and he looked at each other … Ye Zechen and Chen Junhao were talking outside the room.

Chen Junhao took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Ye Zechen. Ye Zechen took one out.

The two men didn't say anything at first. Chen Junhao didn't speak until he finished smoking.

"Xiao Nian's memory was sealed by my aunt. I didn't tell her much, especially about you."

Even though she had lost her memory, Nian still ignored the pain in her body and insisted on rushing to the hotel.

"Okay." After some time, Ye Zechen put out the cigarette.

"Nian was rear-ended by a man smoking marijuana. She has a slight concussion. If you find anything wrong, bring her back to the hospital immediately."

Chen Junhao handed the paper bag he carried with him to Ye Zechen.

"There's medicine and disinfectant in here. I'll leave it to you." Chen Junhao turned around and was about to leave.

"Chen Junhao." Suddenly, Ye Zechen stopped him.

Chen Junhao didn't turn around, but he stood still.

"Thank you."

Chen Junhao didn't say anything. He just waved his hand casually and walked toward the elevator …

When Ye Zechen pushed open the door to the children's room, Su Tuantuan subconsciously turned around and shushed him with her index finger.

"Mommy is asleep!" Su Tuantuan held her cheeks with both hands and stared at Su Xiaonian nervously, afraid that she would wake her up.

Ye Zechen walked to the bed quietly and looked down at Su Xiaonian, who was curled up on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, causing her already pale face to look even more bitter.

After some time, Ye Zechen reached out and carried Su Xiaonian from the bed effortlessly.

"Daddy …" Su Tuantuan grabbed Ye Zechen's pants nervously.

"I'll help her change her dressing," he said in a low voice, but there was an indescribable tension in his voice.

Su Tuantuan let go of his hands obediently when she heard this and followed behind Ye Zechen like a little follower.

Ye Zechen carried Su Xiaonian into his room and gently placed her on the bed.

"Go wring a towel," he turned around and said to Su Tuantuan.

Su Tuantuan turned around and ran to the bathroom without thinking. She stepped on the small stool and soaked the towel, twisting it with all her might.

Ye Zechen reached out and caressed Su Xiaonian's pale face. It was cold to the touch.

Even in her sleep, her body was still trembling.

"Be good, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't go anywhere. I'll stay with you."

Ye Zechen leaned over and whispered in her ear. He reached out and touched her fingers.

"Daddy, the towel …"

Su Tuantuan walked over unsteadily. She held the half-dried towel with both hands and her clean eyes were filled with concern.

The doorbell rang again.

Ye Zechen frowned and raised his head to look at the door. He was obviously unhappy that there was a visitor at this time.

No one answered the door. However, it was obvious that the person outside the door was extremely patient. He pressed the doorbell again and again.

"Daddy, will Mama be woken up?" Su Tuantuan looked at the bed worriedly. There was nervousness in her voice.

Hearing this, Ye Zechen got up and walked toward the door.

The moment he opened the door, he saw Chen Mengxue smiling and holding some toys that children would like.

"Mr. Elliott, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Chen Mengxue's voice was soft and the smile on her face was especially sweet. It was a stark contrast to the expressionless Ye Zechen.

"Sorry to disturb you." Ye Zechen said coldly. The smile on Chen Mengxue's face almost cracked.

Who would speak like that?

"Uh, I just bought some things that Tuantuan can use. These …"

"I can buy these for my son." Ye Zechen didn't wait for Chen Mengxue to finish and interrupted her.

Even the corner of Chen Mengxue's mouth twitched. She didn't know how to continue the conversation. There was a short and awkward silence between the two.

"I …"

"If there's nothing else, please go back." Ye Zechen pretended to close the door.

When Chen Mengxue saw that he was actually going to close the door, she hurriedly blocked the gap with her hand, afraid that he would really shut her out.

"Mr. Elliott, I …"

Chen Mengxue held the things with one hand and used the other to prevent him from closing the door and locking her out.

"If you want to say that you like me and want to be Su Tuantuan's stepmother, then there's no need."

Ye Zechen's voice was cold to the bottom of the valley. He looked down at Chen Mengxue with impatience.

"Mr. Elliott, I like you very much. Please give me a chance, okay?"

Chen Mengxue didn't seem to hear Ye Zechen's rejection. Her expression was full of anticipation.

"I thought I made it very clear just now!"

"Mr. Elliott …"

"Enough! Chen Mengxue, listen up! "

Ye Zechen supported himself with one hand on the door frame. His voice and gaze were extremely cold.

"Even if I really want to find a stepmother for Tuantuan, it definitely won't be your type!"

Chen Mengxue didn't expect that this man would be so merciless with his words. He was even … so heart-wrenching.

"Daddy … come quickly … Mama is vomiting …"

Suddenly, Su Tuantuan's scream came from the room. She was crying!

Mama? There was a woman hiding in Elliott's room?

Chen Mengxue stood by the door in a daze. She saw Ye Zechen reach out and slam the door from the inside. The wind brought about by the closing door sent chills down Chen Mengxue's spine.

Could it be Su Tuantuan's mother? But didn't Elliott say that she had passed away?

With that thought in mind, Chen Mengxue was even more unwilling to leave. She stood by the door and waited for the person inside to come out.

She wanted to see what kind of woman could make Elliott fall in love with her.

The next second, the door was quickly opened from the inside …
