TRMWTCEO – Chapter 1

On the silent road, a black Cayenne drove steadily. Unexpectedly, a cat suddenly darted out from ahead. The driver hurriedly slammed on the brakes. Because of the inertia, everyone in the car lurched forward. Sitting in the back row, Ye Jian slammed headfirst into the front seat.

“Ouch!”

Ye Jian covered his head and sucked in a breath of cold air. His dry eyes rolled around before he could open them with difficulty.

Squinting, Ye Jian could only see two blurry figures in front of him, but his eyes were sensitive to the light, so he quickly closed them again.

He couldn’t help but complain in his heart. How was the driver driving? Did he still want a good rating?

Just as he was about to say a few words of reminder, Ye Jian suddenly realized, how did he end up in the car? And he wasn’t even wearing a seatbelt?

Carefully recalling the events of last night, he remembered going home early after work, reading a novel, and going to bed. How could he suddenly appear in a car? Was he dreaming?

Secretly opening one eye, Ye Jian looked at the unfamiliar surroundings outside the car in surprise. He pinched his arm. It hurt. This wasn’t a dream! Then what was going on? Had he been kidnapped?

Looking around the interior of the car, Ye Jian found that in addition to the driver, there was another man in a black suit sitting in the passenger seat. Even from the back, one could tell that this person had an upright posture, but his whole body exuded an air of “do not disturb.”

The two of them shouldn’t have noticed he was awake yet. The best thing to do was to find a chance to escape and call the police.

But looking at the luxurious interior of the car and the expensive clothes of the person in the passenger seat, Ye Jian couldn’t connect them with kidnappers. Besides, he was just an office worker. He didn’t have much money left over each month. What was the point of kidnapping him? Could there be another motive?

Ye Jian pulled the unfamiliar jacket tighter around himself, reached for the door handle discreetly, and considered whether to take advantage of the stopped car to jump out and escape. However, there were no other vehicles passing by, and the two people in the car were both taller and stronger than him. Even if he got out of the car, he might not be able to escape.

While Ye Jian hesitated, he saw the driver say a few words to the person in the passenger seat and then hurriedly got out of the car. He had no choice but to stop his actions, shrink back to the side, close his eyes, and pretend to be asleep.

Not long after, the front window was opened. A gust of cold air blew in, but was blocked by the tall and sturdy driver. Ye Jian perked up his ears and heard the driver’s cautious voice, which didn’t quite match his image: “Young Master, this kitten is so pitiful. Can I take it home to raise?”

These words gave Ye Jian a certain understanding of the relationship between the two. It was an employment relationship. The person in the passenger seat held all the cards.

Ye Jian secretly opened his eyes and saw the man in the passenger seat nod. The driver looked grateful as he put the kitten in the back seat, but it was on the other side, far away from Ye Jian.

Ye Jian couldn’t pretend anymore. To kidnap someone and then pick up a kitten halfway? These two didn’t look like they were up to no good.

The car started up again, and the person in the passenger seat ordered, “Send him home quickly, while he’s still asleep.” The driver hurriedly responded, his voice laced with a hint of cheer.

This person’s voice sounded quite nice. Thinking of this, Ye Jian relaxed a little. To take him home? It seemed these two meant no harm, so he might as well pretend a little longer.

The little kitten, now in the same row as him, curled up in the corner and quietly licked its paws. Ye Jian squinted at it. The kitten was covered in dirt, but still fluffy. Seeing Ye Jian looking at it, it even let out a soft meow. Ye Jian, who had always been powerless against small animals, wanted to hold it in his arms and rub it.

Just as he reached out his hand of sin, a voice came from the front:

“Ye Jian, this is your last warning. Restrain yourself. Otherwise, if something happens, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!” The person in the passenger seat spoke coldly, as if he had reached his limit, without even turning his head.

Ye Jian blinked. Was he calling him? But he didn’t know this person at all!

Looking through the rearview mirror, the driver in front saw Ye Jian’s innocent expression and regretted putting the cat in the back. He couldn’t help but remind him, “Madam, the young master and I were both there just now, cough, just listen to the young master, spare the kitten!”

Ye Jian’s mind was in a daze, and naturally he didn’t understand the driver’s implication. He couldn’t help but blink again. What was he talking about? And “Madam”? He was a man! Besides, what was wrong with hugging a kitten?

Seeing that Ye Jian was still being obstinate, the driver shook his head helplessly, still looking worriedly at the poor kitten in the back row.

This whole situation made Ye Jian feel baffled. He just wanted to pet the cat, why was it as if he was committing an unforgivable crime?

Ye Jian was so frustrated, he couldn’t get a word in. To his surprise, the kitten crawled towards him and even reached out a paw to grab his pants. Ye Jian picked it up and put it on his lap, looking triumphantly at the two people in front.

Look! The kitten still liked him!

The two people in front held their breaths and stared at Ye Jian through the rearview mirror, for fear that he would do something to hurt the kitten again.

As Ye Jian scratched the kitten’s chin, he listened to its purring sound and felt his mood improve.

Ye Jian, who was having so much fun, naturally didn’t notice that the car had stopped again. By the time he realized something was wrong, he saw two pairs of eyes staring at him from the rearview mirror in the darkness, which scared him so much that he almost threw the cat in his hand.

The driver quickly snatched the kitten back, held it in his arms to comfort it, and couldn’t help but complain in a low voice: “Such a pitiful and cute kitten, it’s going to be abused.”

Ye Jian heard it, of course, but he didn’t react for a moment. “What did you say?”

Ever since the driver found out that Ye Jian was a cat abuser, he was indignant. Now that he had seen Ye Jian abuse the cat with his own eyes, he couldn’t hold back his words any longer. “What you did to that stray cat near the company was all recorded by the surveillance cameras. If it wasn’t for the young master, the matter would have been exposed already.”

Ye Jian was suddenly a little headachey. He asked in disbelief, “I abused a cat?”

“It’s all recorded clearly on the surveillance cameras. Young Master Ye, you don’t need to make excuses!” After the driver finished speaking, he peeked at his young master, and seeing that he didn’t say anything, he felt relieved. After all, this was the young master’s wife, in name at least.

But Ye Jian couldn’t care less at the moment. He kept rubbing his temples and said in a low voice, “My head hurts so much!”

Ye Jian didn’t know how tempting his voice was, but the people in the car obviously didn’t buy it. The driver, who considered himself to have the young master’s support, spoke even more bluntly. “Who told you to go to the bar to drink in the middle of the night and hang out with unsavory people?”

If it were any other day, Ye Jian would definitely retort. He always kept himself clean. When did he ever hang out with unsavory people?

But now, Ye Jian gritted his teeth, pressed his head, which felt like it was about to split open, and said weakly, “Say whatever you want, just take me home.”

Speaking of which, Ye Jian felt aggrieved. “You guys forced me into the car without my consent. Did I agree to any of this? How can you accuse me before even getting things straight?”

After these few sentences, Ye Jian clearly felt that the coldness emanating from the person in the passenger seat seemed to lessen a bit.

“Ye Jian, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you married into the Gu family. We can get a divorce at any time.” After saying this, the man in the passenger seat lifted the rearview mirror, obviously not wanting to see the person behind him.

Ye Jian trembled. Did he say something wrong? But at the moment, his headache was too much to bear. Sweat dripped down. Ye Jian’s pain was so bad he even wanted to hit his head against the window.

But no one in the car seemed to notice, or they just thought Ye Jian was putting on a show.

“Ye Jian,” “cat abuse,” “unsavory,” “Gu family,” “divorce.” Connecting these words, Ye Jian’s head suddenly stopped hurting. A ridiculous thought even flashed through his mind. He had transmigrated into a book!

Ye Jian clearly remembered the danmei CEO novel he stayed up late to read last night. There was a cannon fodder character with the same name as him, also called Ye Jian.

In the book, the protagonist, shou, successfully attracted the attention of the domineering CEO, who was also the protagonist gong, because he was a pure and elegant white lotus. After that, the CEO used forceful means to get him, abusing his body and heart, destroying the country for him. Finally, the two understood each other’s feelings and had a perfect HE.

And Ye Jian was a complete cannon fodder. His existence was to promote or hinder the development of the relationship between the CEO and the protagonist shou. But Ye Jian didn’t realize his cannon fodder identity. Relying on his marriage contract with the CEO, he attempted to gain the CEO’s love. When he didn’t receive it, he stirred up trouble. Not only was he troublesome, but he was also stupid. It made Ye Jian, the reader, want to punch his head in.

By the middle of the book, Ye Jian, frustrated in both love and career, hooked up with the CEO’s nemesis. While leaking company secrets, he also made the CEO wear a bright green cuckold’s hat. In the end, he was cruelly dealt with by the CEO.

The plot quickly flashed through Ye Jian’s mind. If he guessed correctly, the person sitting in the passenger seat now was the real gong, Gu Yichuan, a true domineering CEO!

Having figured out the current situation, Ye Jian wasn’t so panicked anymore. He sat for a while, and his head started to hurt again. During this time, the driver looked back a few times, but whenever his eyes touched Ye Jian, he quickly looked away. His ears were a little red. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. It was a pity that Madam’s only redeeming quality was this face!

Ye Jian fainted from the pain. He didn’t wake up until someone called him: “Madam, your phone!”

Ye Jian woke up in a daze again. Without thinking, he pressed the answer button. “Hello, who is this?”

“Honey, it’s me!”

Ye Jian took the phone away. ???

“Who are you?” Ye Jian yawned widely. “I don’t know you. Did you dial the wrong number?”

“Honey, stop messing around. Are you home yet? Did he do anything to you?”

“What?”

“Honey, I miss you so much right now. I want to peel you layer by layer, taste…”

Listening to the sweet voice on the phone, Ye Jian only felt disgusted. “I’m going to hang up. If you have something to say, let’s talk about it later.”

Ye Jian put the phone back in his pocket, but he suddenly woke up right before falling asleep. When he answered the phone just now, his voice was especially loud, as if he had accidentally pressed the speakerphone button. So everything that was said could be heard by the people in the car, including Gu Yichuan.

The car was so quiet, only the sound of breathing could be heard. Ye Jian reached for the door handle again. Although he didn’t know the situation with the phone call, he seemed to have just tried to cuckold Gu Yichuan to his face.

Remembering what happened to Ye Jian in the novel after he cuckolded Gu Yichuan, Ye Jian shuddered. He slowly raised his eyes, only to see a pair of terrifying black eyes staring at him in the rearview mirror. Ye Jian felt as if all the blood in his body had stopped flowing. Did it have to be so exciting just as he arrived?
