It’s an A again!
A deck has only four Aces, and she ended up with three. Not even an Immortal has that kind of "luck". She was bound to lose...
While Ye Xian’s mind raced with thoughts of alpacas dashing, her peripheral vision caught Jiang Wanze’s cards, a 9, a 7, and a 6, much better than hers!
If she could switch just one card with him, even just a six, maybe she wouldn’t co in last.
"Captain."
Ye Xian lowered her voice and gently nudged him with her elbow.
Jiang Wanze turned his face, puzzled, only to see her eyes blinking rapidly at him as if twitching and showing her own cards.
Jiang Wanze got her hint and pulled out a 9, placing it on the table.
"!"
Ye Xian didn’t expect him to be so generous. Just as she was about to secretly pick it up, a large hand reached out and flipped over Jiang Wanze’s card.
Ye Xian looked up and t Bo Tingdeep’s icy stern gaze. She imdiately retracted like a turtle, pretending as if nothing had happened while fiddling with her cards.
Damn, what kind of Eyes of Golden Fla did this old man have to catch such a subtle exchange? Was he doing anything other than catching employees slacking during etings?
Shangguan Yunli, "Show your cards."
"18 points!"
Cary proudly laid down his cards, "Just asking, who else?"
Jiang Wanze looked at the flipped 9, his eyes paused briefly, then he put down the remaining two cards, "23 points."
"Wow! Captain, you’re so high! There can’t be anyone higher than the captain, can there?"
Everyone else laid down their cards, and indeed no one scored higher than Jiang Wanze.
Seeing how things were going, Ye Xian felt less tense. If Jiang Wanze was the winner, the truth or dare he proposed would likely not be too harsh, definitely better than Cary and Shangguan Yunli.
Thinking, she threw down her cards, "Three Aces!"
Cary, seeing them, laughed until his stomach hurt, "Ye Xian, how did you manage to shout three aces with the vibe of three tens?"
"Confidence! Captain, I choose truth; ask away!"
"Wait!" Shangguan Yunli interrupted her, "Ye Xian, did you forget that Bo Tingshen hasn’t revealed his cards yet?"
"?"
Ye Xian looked puzzled at the cards in front of Bo Tingshen. Could his score be higher than Jiang Wanze’s? How could it be... 8, 9, 10. As the cards were revealed one by one by the man’s slender fingers, Ye Xian’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
Damn! A total of 27 points!
This man must be cheating! What kind of luck is that!
Cary was also shocked, "Wow, CEO, you have such good luck!"
As if he had expected it, Shangguan said to Bo Tingshen, "Tingshen, you’re the winner, ask Ye Xian."
Ah?!
Ye Xian, who had just relaxed, instantly tensed up again.
CEO asking questions? With his deep sches, the questions would surely be full of traps. If her answers did not et his expectations, she might even face consequences afterward.
Shangguan Yunli, "Ye Xian, everyone here is an actor. If you dare to lie in your answer, you’ll drink three cups as a penalty!"
Cary, "CEO, ask her sothing tough, explosive, or sothing that will crush her ego, sothing she would die before she’d admit!"
Listening to each suggestion more damaging than the last, Ye Xian drooped her face, bit her cherry-pink lips, and looked towards the man across with watery, starry eyes, a face full of pitiful, helpless vulnerability.
CEO, what’s our relationship? Neighbors and dining buddies, you wouldn’t trouble , right?
Bo Tingshen’s gaze was faintly unimpressed, as he stared at her unmoved. Ye Xian gently swayed her body, and her foot under the table found the man’s leather shoe, softly rubbing the edge as if she were a cat begging for favor, almost owing~
Bo Tingshen’s expression changed instantly.
The cards on the table were accidentally knocked over, and Luo Yuwei bent down to pick them up. She saw Ye Xian’s foot slowly moving closer to the man’s trousers, gently tempting and scraping, as if achieving its effect, the man suddenly exerted force with his legs, trapping hers in between.
Her hand holding the cards tightened, nearly crumpling them, as she stared at the suspended sneakers of the youth, her eyes emitting an imnse loathing.
Shangguan Yunli had orchestrated this scenario initially to speed up Bo Tingshen’s pursuit of Ye Xian, but now... with just a little coquetry from her, he lost himself? His gaze was ridiculously soft, not even slightly inclined to trouble him.
Damn, was this decisively cold and powerful man on the business battlefield, in matters of the heart... just this?
Wasn’t he to be utterly devoured by Ye Xian in the future?
Shangguan Yunli hastily extended his hand to interrupt Ye Xian’s hypnotism, "Since Tingshen has no questions to ask, let do the asking!"
Ye Xian: "???" How do you know the CEO has nothing to ask, he hasn’t even begun asking yet? And you’re scarier than him!
"Ye Xian, aren’t you gay? Then tell us, in a room full of n, which one do you like the most?"
Shangguan Yunli asked, imdiately drawing the attention of all the n in the room to her, Cary even smugly smoothed his hair.
Ye Xian: "..." When Shangguan makes a move, you know if there’s anyone.
So ruthless!
"Don’t tell there’s none; the collective fans present easily amount to several hundred million. If you can’t pick one, then you’re destined to be single forever."
"I..."
She definitely couldn’t really say which one she liked—it would be troubleso if the CEO interpreted it as her having ulterior motives, or if the person she nad thought she secretly adored him, just expressing her true feelings through the ga.
After thinking it over, Ye Xian’s eyes whirled, "Yes, but you guys are all straight n; wouldn’t you find it disgusting if I said I liked any of you? Shangguan Yunli, you’re not gay too, are you?"
Shangguan Yunli choked: "..." Kid, playing tricks with him, huh?
"Fine, then tell us what type of man you like?"
"I..."
As Ye Xian’s eyes moved, they t Bo Tingshen’s intense gaze, as if he were monitoring her answer, ready to catch her in a trap.
Ye Xian: "I don’t have a specific type I like."
Shangguan Yunli: "Does that an you’re quite fickle, falling in love with every one you see?"
Her foot was tightly clamped under the table, causing Ye Xian so much pain that she dropped her peanuts, waving her hands frantically, "No, no!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I like handso ones."
"Handso ones?" Cary looked at her disdainfully, "You’re so shallow, is that your only criterion?"
"Eh~"
Shangguan Yunli tasted the mont and smiled aningfully, "How could it be just one criterion, clearly it’s two."
Two?
Cary was startled for a mont, then caught on, looking at Ye Xian as if she were an experienced player.
The gentlen present all understood as well.
Handso ones.
Tall and handso.
Ye Xian, looking at the suddenly sleazy smiles of Shangguan Yunli and Cary, along with the odd expressions of Jiang Wanze and Lin Yan, was utterly baffled.
Finally, she looked towards Bo Tingshen.
Unexpectedly, he lightly pressed his tongue to his lower jaw, his expression mysteriously watching her, with a hint of a smile in his narrow eyes, "Je peux te rencontrer" (I can satisfy you)
