"Yes,"
As he thought this, he spoke out, shedding his usual disguise and restraint, forgetting that the person he respected and feared most was right beside him.
As his words fell, everyone was stunned. When they ca to their senses, they started to cheer in unison, "Oh~"
Luo Yuwei had said there was soone she liked among them, but no one could guess who it was. After all, the n present tonight were all outstanding, each in their way. No one knew whom exactly she fancied.
But if Jiang Wanze liked soone at the party, wasn’t it Luo Yuwei?
He wasn’t gay, and it was impossible for him to like ordinary girls like Zhou Lu and Xiao Nan.
Even Luo Yuwei was shocked, seemingly not expecting that the person he had always liked was her, and that he would confess so suddenly in public.
Cary was also dumbfounded, listening to Jiang Wanze’s reply and looking at Luo Yuwei, who was suddenly bashful and at a loss for what to do.
The captain liked Luo Yuwei?!
Then the person Luo Yuwei liked couldn’t also be...
Him, her, them!
After two seconds of surprise and anger, Cary unclenched his fist. Well, he hadn’t expected the captain to like that pure and innocent girl-next-door type. It hadn’t been obvious at all, and here he had nearly made a move, and was foolishly infatuated. He absolutely must not let Ye Xian find out...
Too late, Ye Xian was already covering his stomach and laughing at him. That smile was as devious as it got, teeth gleaming, making Cary’s eyes hurt as if he had been cuckolded.
"Ye Xian!"
Cary silently raised a warning fist. He was just casually flirting because she was pretty, he wasn’t really interested!
But Ye Xian just shrugged indifferently, his face bearing the sorry look of soone who had no one to love.
Would Wanze actually like Luo Yuwei? In terms of looks and temperant, Luo Yuwei was quite similar to his mother, and Wanze hated his birth mother the most due to the shaful things she had done. It just didn’t make sense...
Shangguan Yunli was still imrsed in his surprise when he caught a glimpse of Bo Tingshen looking at Jiang Wanze with a chilly gaze. That look was one he often saw before Bo Tingshen would ruthlessly deal with business rivals.
What did this an?
Wanze liked Yuwei, so why was Tingshen bothered by it? Could it be that he didn’t want Wanze to like Yuwei? But Tingshen usually didn’t interfere with these things.
"Alright, alright! Let’s continue to the next round!"
Ye Xian gathered up the cards, shuffling them while sneakily watching Bo Tingshen. The others didn’t matter. What mattered was that she had to beat the CEO in one round—today was the day the serf turned the tables and sang out!
"Hold on,"
Shangguan Yunli stopped her. "Let’s change the ga a bit. It’s boring if the rules stay the sa, we need to keep upgrading for excitent!"
Ye Xian looked at him, already proposing so trick, "How do you want to upgrade?"
"Like this, the person with the highest points remains the winner, and all the others are losers. The winner can propose any question or punishnt for all losers. If a loser can’t answer or complete the challenge, then they take a drink and also lose an article of clothing!"
He rambled on, but Ye Xian only heard ’blah, blah, blah, take off your clothes,’ and instantly beca tense.
What is this?
These guys are way too lewd in private, always spouting lascivious remarks or scheming about soone else’s clothes!
Life as a fake man was too difficult for her—she had never expected that becoming a man ant having to guard against other n.
"You’re joking, right? Of course that’s not possible. Luo Yuwei is a girl and... She’s just wearing one dress. Shangguan Yunli, what are you trying to do..."
Shangguan Yunli interrupted her, "I’ve thought of that. If Miss Luo loses, she doesn’t have to take off her clothes. Just sticking a note on her face will do. Why, are you reacting so strongly, or could it be... that you’re actually afraid to take off your clothes?"
Ye Xian: "..." When exactly did Shangguan Yunli beco such a pain, specifically targeting her? At first, she rembered him being quite nice, actively promoting her and introducing her to resources. How could he change so suddenly?
"What, what kind of joke are you making? If you’re going to co, then co!"
This ti, as Ye Xian dealt the cards, she was extra cautious, yet she ended up dealing the highest points to Shangguan Yunli.
Damn!
Shangguan Yunli, pleased with himself, threw down his twenty-eight points on the table, "Let think, what should I ask? Hmm?"
His gaze wandered around the group, finally settling on Bo Tingshen, and an idea instantly ford in his mind.
No one would be able to answer this question!
"Listen up, do you guys know the aning behind your CEO’s na? And don’t even think about checking your phones—if I catch you, it’s an imdiate penalty of three drinks!"
The aning behind the CEO’s na?
Everyone looked towards Bo Tingshen with puzzled expressions.
’Bo Tingshen’—do these three characters have a special aning?
Cary was the first to raise his hand, "It sounds good!"
Shangguan Yunli: "Pass, take off an article of clothing. Next."
Lin Yan: "The character ’Ting’ could be a fixed part of a generational na, and as for ’Shen,’ does it an depth?"
Shangguan Yunli: "Nonono, you put up so thought, but still, take off an article of clothing."
Cary, tugging at Jiang Wanze, "Captain, the CEO is your brother, do you know?"
Jiang Wanze thought for a mont then shook his head. He was the eldest son of the Bo Family and didn’t even know where he was when he was born, how would he know?
But his elder brother was born with nobility and was the pride of everyone in the Bo Family, so he imagined the na would have a very beautiful aning.
Luo Yuwei cautiously raised her hand and asked in a soft voice, "May I venture a guess?"
Shangguan Yunli: "Of course."
"The original aning of the character ’Ting’ refers to the main hall of a house, and later extended to where an Emperor holds court and deals with state affairs. Placed in a na, it should have a dual aning, one is that President Bo is the eldest son of the Bo Family, the other probably is a hope that he would beco a person of noble status and commanding respect. As for ’Shen,’ it alludes to one’s vitality and spirit, with a sense of vigorous energy. Put together, they should imply the aning of the CEO’s na: a noble status and a spirited deanor."
Having finished, she looked towards the man diagonally across with a sowhat expectant expression on her face.
Cary, confused, "You used many characters, so you must be correct! And those two characters really suit the CEO!"
Shangguan Yunli tapped his temple, "Miss Luo is quite cultured. Normally one would think that’s the aning behind naming. But the na ’Tingshen’ wasn’t given by just anyone, it was given by Mother Bo."
Mother Bo, Wen Yan, was no ordinary woman—in her youth, her fa shook the Imperial Capital and astounded the nation. Countless magnates pursued her on their knees, yet she sought nothing material, wanting only a love as epheral as the wind, the flowers, the snow, and the moon, and she remains the sa to this day...
"So..."
Uncle Li handed over a piece of paper. Luo Yuwei looked at it, puzzled. Was she wrong?
"Ta-da!"
Shangguan Yunli tapped the table, calling for Ye Xian.
"Handso boy, it’s your turn!"
"Ah..."
Ye Xian snapped back to reality and realized Bo Tingshen was also looking at her, seemingly very expectant of her answer.
