Chapter 775: Chapter 776: The Gate is Cold and Deep, Visitors Must Be Sincere
Cary: “Don’t bother asking him anymore, he surely doesn’t know. Even us, graduates from top-tier universities, and a talented lady like Miss Luo haven’t figured it out, how could he?”
“Heh~” Ye Xian laughed, “I wonder which genius student was on his knees during the Top Flow Competition, crying and clinging to my thighs begging to save him.”
“…” Cary, “I was helping you out, and you turn around and throw under the bus! Could it be that you really know? If you’re so capable, say it then!”
Ye Xian arched an eyebrow, coincidentally, she… did indeed know. Since everyone else’s answers were wrong, that left only the one answer.
Everyone looked at her with curiosity as she leisurely said, “The na Tingshen probably cos from the phrase—’a chilly and deep threshold, only the sincere may enter,’ aning: ‘My heart is cold and deep, anyone who wishes to enter must be sincere.'”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunli looked at her in shock.
How could he have known?!
Bo Tingshen’s expression also beca fixed. At first, he was just curious to hear his interpretation of his na, but he never expected it to be perfectly articulated.
“CEO, is that right?”
Ye Xian looked up to ask Bo Tingshen and saw the man’s narrow and deep eyes, dark as ink, seemingly misted with a layer of emotion so thick it couldn’t be dissolved.
He just gazed at her unwaveringly, the intensity of his light almost too much for her to bear.
“So, Ye Xian, are you sincere?”
“Ah… Ah~”
Ye Xian looked up at him, and at his question, inexplicably, her head started spinning and her thoughts began to scatter, needing a great effort to pull together.
Seeing her suddenly shake her head, Shangguan Yunli grew curious.
This symptom… was the alcohol starting to take effect?
It was such a simple question that under normal circumstances, she’d have brushed it off casually, but for so reason now, all sorts of ssy thoughts and worries crowded to the forefront of her mind.
Was she sincere?
A regular question seed to turn into an interrogation.
No, she wasn’t sincere at all.
She was the youngest daughter of the Ye Family, and a sibling to Ye Shaowen; although she was a mber of FOR, she had sneaked in dressed in drag; she had always been waiting for her contract with Star Entertainnt to end to leave, yet she lied to him saying she would renew it…
In every aspect, she wasn’t honest with him.
A CEO who detested being deceived, if he knew she had been lying to him like this, he would probably dislike her imnsely, not wanting to see her ever again, or maybe even crush her with his foot.
She mustn’t say it, she mustn’t tell him…
Weird, why was she thinking so much? Why did her head feel increasingly dizzy? Even her mouth was dry, and her throat felt as though it was on fire.
Ye Xian felt terribly uncomfortable, grabbed a glass of cold water from the table, drank it down, and finally splashed the remaining cool water on her face. As she watched the man’s clear and peerless features beco gradually more focused before her eyes, she sobered up a fair bit.
“Sincere, of course I am! As your little follower, Mr. CEO, I’m absolutely sincere!”
“No way?”
Cary saw Bo Tingshen’s expression, “Did Ye Xian actually guess it right?”
Shangguan Yunli nodded. She had guessed it right, word for word, even while intoxicated.
He now looked at Ye Xian with newfound respect. If this insight was not sothing Tingshen had shared with her, and combined with her previous performances in the Top Flow Competition and just now, seeing through Tingshen’s shuffling routine, this kid really was incredibly smart and unfathomable.
No wonder…
He had thought, the person Tingshen liked, how could it be just anyone.
Perhaps Ye Xian was laying low to spring a surprise, and there might be more unexpected delights to co.
Cary was shocked, “Wow! Ye Xian, are you for real? Do they teach such profound topics in high school now?”
“You’re the one with a high school education!”
Ye Xian’s head was still a bit woozy, but she began to feel inflated.
If it hadn’t been for her interest in jewelry design and studying abroad in France, the university she would have attended with her college entrance exam scores would have been on the sa level as the one the CEO graduated from. Even the so-called top universities Jiang Wanze and Chu Yao attended were like little brothers in her eyes. But even after attending an art school, she studied at the Paris National High School of Fine Arts, which carries the title of one of the top four art schools in the world.
Cary said, “You do have a high school diploma, and I won’t argue with that, but I must admit, your abilities do exceed that of high school just a bit, barely making the cut for college!”
Ye Xian couldn’t be bothered with him, “Stop the nonsense! Again, today I must make the CEO lose a round, let him know what I’m made of, and personally call ‘Daddy’!”
The people present were montarily stunned and then looked at her in shock, “!!!” What did he say? What is the CEO supposed to call him? Has he gone mad!
Shangguan Yunli spat out a mouthful of wine, laughing so hard he was smacking the table.
This kid has so nerve! He spoke the words that he had wanted to say for years but never dared to. It seems alcohol does embolden the cowardly, challenging Tingshen’s limits.
“Ye Xian, have you gone mad?”
Cary stared at Ye Xian in disbelief. Although he felt uncomfortable if he didn’t pick on her for a day, he didn’t want to see her et an early demise, daring to joke with the CEO like this! She was really getting carried away, treating the CEO like a friend?
“Ye Xian, are you drunk?”
“Do you need to go back and rest?”
While everyone was concernedly looking at Ye Xian, Bo Tingshen’s expression wasn’t as harsh as imagined. His tall figure leaned slightly forward, his fingertips lifting her chin up, his eyes narrowing slightly, “What do you want to call you?”
Ye Xian was clearly drunk, her porcelain-white face tinged with a crimson flush. Her alluring lips pouted slightly as she looked up with her incredibly beautiful parallelogram eyes, seductive as silk, “Daddy! Daddy!”
Let you call daddy!
“Such a good girl.”
Bo Tingshen looked down, his deep gaze wavering because of her charming drunken appearance.
Shangguan Yunli felt the atmosphere between them was so charged it was about to explode, feeling a bit like the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor. Could you two please go to bed already? Stop slaying here!
“What’s it going to be, are we calling it a night, or do we continue?”
“Of course we continue!”
Ye Xian shrugged off Bo Tingshen’s hand, standing up angrily, pointing at them and speaking sternly, “Today, if the CEO doesn’t lose, none of you are allowed to leave. Whoever does, may they end up as ugly as Cary!”
Damn!
Cary was about to spew in frustration!
“Ye Xian, you’ve got guts!”
“Lin Yan, here’s your card~”
The next second, she cheerfully dealt the cards to Cary.
Cary: “…” Betraying teammates happens today.
Lin Yan: “…” Do I look as ugly as Cary?
When Shangguan Yunli took his cards, he asked her askance and sowhat fearfully, “Do you know who I am?”
“Of course, Assistant Pang, thanks to you I got to know so many of the CEO’s little secrets, how could I not recognize you?”
Pang Kai standing nearby: “!!!” It’s not , I didn’t! Ye Xian, what nonsense are you spouting? Stop talking!
The ‘Take Down Ye Xian’ group suddenly gained two more mbers.
