My Powerful CEO Husband

Chapter 96

Ch. 96 / 753 Jan 28, 2026

It should be a beautiful picture to have his firm waist press against the soft body of a beautiful woman, but Alex felt a chill ran down his spine. He couldn't help clenching his fists.

It seemed that his heavy fists would hit the woman at any time!

Although Alex was not as kind to women as his assistant Zen, he would not use violence against any woman.

Actually, he was gentlemanly to women.

In his opinion, God created women in order to make men love them.

But Yen was an exception.

Because what Yen had done was completely forgivable, as vicious as the most venomous snake that ever existed. No matter how beautiful and pitiful she looked at this moment, it couldn't change Alex's view of her!

Alex knew very well that Yen was capable of disguising herself as any role she wanted to be in an instant.

The more beautiful one thing was, the more toxic it would be! Ye wnas such a beautiful woman with extremely strong toxicity!

With Alex's current state of mind, he really wanted to clutch the neck of the woman and bring her to Ethan, and make her confess her sins to him.

Alex had thought of a variety of ways to deal with Yen, but none of them would be like what she asked now, hugging her.

This woman was hugging him with the hands that had his brother's blood on them.

His handsome eyebrows gradually furrowed, indicating that the anger in Alex's body was gathering slowly. It would explode at some point when it became not containable.

"Alex...I know that you hate me very much...When knew that Ethan is your brother, I knew that we were over...I don't want you to forgive me...because I have already been sinful in your heart, right? But these don't prevent me from loving you. Alex...

The woman sobbed and murmured. He didn't know which sentence she said was true and which sentence was false.

The only thing he could feel was that the woman's arms hugged around his waist so tightly and had never relaxed for a second.

She had been holding him tightly like this that sunny afternoon in that summer. She hugged him, staring at those people fearlessly...

Slowly, Alex loosened his hands that grabbed the collars of Zen. He slowly turned around and gently lifted up the woman's chin to let her look straight into his eyes.

He did not rush to ask the woman who the mastermind was, but carefully checked the woman's face. He used the fingertip of his thumb to wipe away the blood on her beautiful face little by little, and wiped away the dust as well.

"Look at your face, it's not beautiful now! Don't you remember that your Alex liked the clean and fragrant Princess Yen?"

Alex's motion was so gentle that no woman could resist him. And he watched Yen with the same kind of gentleness.

At this moment, they looked like a couple who had fallen into love, staring deeply into each other's eyes.

In a trance, the past flashed in front of Yen's eyes and she had an illusion of travelling in time and going back to the time when she first met him. It was a bloody but also romantic scene.

Could they really return to the past? Of course she wished so. She wished they could return to the point where nothing had happened yet. She stared deeply into the man's eyes and wanted to read some information from them.

"Baby, tell Alex, who on earth is the person that ordered you to do that?"

Alex didn't seem to be patient enough, just after a few gentle caresses, he couldn't wait to find out who the mastermind was from Yen's mouth.

It could be seen that he did not like to be too intimate to Yen.

How could he bear to coax a woman whose hands were stained with his brother's blood!

Especially Yen was such a scheming woman.

In an instant, she saw the hatred in the man's eyes that hid under tenderness. She immediately snapped back to the reality. It turned out that the gentleness of the man was just a means he used to reach his goal.

The moment of intimacy was way too short! It was too short for her to wallow in his trap of tenderness, and he began to draw in the net and harvest.

If it had been a little bit longer and more affectionate, probably Yen wouldn't have been able to get out of the net.

This man had such charm! Every time she looked at him, she would have the feeling that she was in heaven.

Even if there was anger in the man's eyes, it could not stop Yen from having fantasy about this man.

She really wished that one day she could put on a white wedding dress, walk down the aisle with this man, give birth to a few children for him, and their kids would surround him and call him "daddy" all the time...

That scene was so beautiful that it almost melted her heart when she pictured it in her mind.

But the cruel reality had brought Yen to her senses. She was the person who murdered his brother indirectly. How could he forgive her, a vicious woman. He must hated her guts.

She smiled brightly. Even if she was in a plight, she was behaving as noble as a princess of the royal family.

"Alex, you haven't hugged me yet. And you want to get the answer from me. It's not that easy!"

Yen was still smiling. Her smile was harmless. No one could connect her with a vicious woman.

Suddenly, Alex's arms tightened, and the woman was buried in his arms. She was held so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

"Are you satisfied with such a hug?"

Alex was laughing, but his laughter sounded malicious. It seemed that he would strangle this woman with violence in the next second.

"It's too tight...too violent! I can't breathe!" Yen buried her head on Alex's chest and giggled shyly.

"What about this?" Alex loosened his grip on his arms.

"Well...but that's not enough...because I haven't heard that your heart is beating faster!"

Yen rested her head on his chest where his heart was and disappointment appeared on her face. She said sobbingly, "Alex, do you really have a heart?"

"Tell me...who is that person?" Alex was getting impatient.

What he was doing now was undoubtedly for the purpose of getting the information of that person from the woman's mouth. He ignored the affection the woman had shown to him and he had no interest in reading her heart.

In Ethan's words, except for hatred, there was nothing else in Alex's entire soul for the time being. All that he thought about was revenge only.

"That person...is me!" Yen giggled, giving out sound as melodious as the song of a canary.

"Yen, are you f**king fooling me?"

Alex went mad violently. He grabbed her long hair and pulled her beautiful face apart.

"Tell me, who is that person? Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"

"I've told you that it's me, Yen! Kill me if you want!"

Yen knew clearly that if she told Alex, it was like sending Alex on a road without return. But she wanted him to live well. So, even if she had to die, she wouldn't say it.

"Do you really think that won't kill you?" Alex clutched Yen's neck and almost lifted her off the ground.

Air was cut off to her lungs and she had to endure painfully. She even forgot to struggle. She stared deeply at the man's twisted face because of anger, and smiled sadly and all the time.

Yen thought, 'Even if I have to die, I have to leave a beautiful face in this man's eyes.

"Alex, let go... let go!" Zen couldn't bear to watch any longer. At the moment when Yen was panting, he mustered up his courage and rushed over. "Alex, only by keeping her alive, can Ethan have the hope of being cured!"

It was unknown what Zen had said touched Alex, but in the end, Alex loosened his hand. Perhaps as Zen said, the most urgent thing at the moment was to send Ethan to the United States for further treatment.

If he refused to go, or refused to cooperate, then no matter whatever advanced medical technology there was in the world would be useless to him.

'So I got my life back from Alex again?' thought Yen. She did not feel sad because of the torture just now.

Instead, she smiled exceptionally brightly, although she was coughing and panting.

"Alex, I know you don't have the heart to kill me! You like me, don't you?" After catching her breath, she began to provoke Alex again.

"Well..." Alex replied in a drawl. He bent down slightly and said casually, "But don't get it the wrong way. It's true don't have the heart to kill you, but it's not because I like you. It's because don't want you to die too easily!"

"You don't mean what you said!" Yen smiled shyly.

She could always switch deftly between cold, sexy and cute, innocent.

But there were moments when she was her real self, such as just now:

When she hugged Alex tightly...

When she pressed her face against Alex's chest and tried to hear his heartbeats...

When she said, "But these don't prevent me from loving you..."

"You'll know soon whether I meant it or not!" Alex took the towel from Zen's hand and wiped the dirt off his hands.

Then he threw the towel on Yen's body, as if to express his attitude, "In my eyes, you are just like this dirty towel! It's just a matter of time for me to abandon you!"

Alex turned his back on her, as if he didn't even want to take one more glance at Yen, who was paralyzed on the ground.

When she watched the tall and straight man leave the underground storage room of GK Group, crystal-clear tears finally rolled down from Yen's porcelain-doll-like face.

'Alex, if the person who chose to die for you was not your brother but me, would you be able to love me as you love Ethan?'
