Chapter 844: Chapter 845: CEO, I Was Wrong Again
Ye Xian clutched her phone and sprinted towards her room at top speed, but halfway there, Xia Hewan and Ye Zhuoxuan blocked her way. “Xianxian, what were you talking about with Young Master Lu just now?”
“Nothing much, just a few pleasantries.”
She tried to slip past them, but was grabbed by Ye Shaowen from behind, “Xiao Yezi, what did that Lu kid offer you?”
“He didn’t offer anything!”
“I saw it, it was a bracelet. Did he think he could win over my sister’s heart with a trinket? Dream on, my sister only wants things from ! Right?”
Ye Xian: “Right, right, right!” You’re so narcissistic, you’re always right!
Ye Shaowen thought about the ‘treasure’ bracelet he gave Ye Xian so ti ago, recalling how happy she was and how different she acted when she refused Lu Cen just now. He beca terribly smug, “Xiao Yezi, take out the bracelet I gave you before and show it to your big brother!”
Show it, hurry…
Ye Xian was about to reach out before she quickly withdrew her hand.
Damn it, she forgot that the CEO had swapped out the bracelet her second brother gave her!
Ye Shaowen: “?”
Ye Xian, playing the victim, ran to Ye Juncheng, “Big Brother, look at Second Brother, he’s so annoying! My phone has been ringing all day with work calls, and I haven’t had ti to answer.”
“Shaowen.”
The mont Ye Juncheng spoke, Ye Shaowen behaved himself.
Ye Xian stuck out her tongue at him and dashed into her room.
“Hey~”
Ye Shaowen watched her antics and laughed even more happily. Why hold onto sothing he gave as a gift? It’s not like he’d take it back.
The door was locked, and Ye Xian finally answered the phone just before the ringtone could sound once more.
On the other end, there was a long silence, faintly interspersed with the subtle breathing of a man.
From the deep breathing, Ye Xian sensed a mix of restraint and agitation. A drumbeat started in her heart—she was done for! She stood up the CEO, hung up on his calls, and only answered after he called three tis. She was dood!
“C-CEO, what are you doing right now?”
Ye Xian bit her lip in fear and cautiously probed.
What greeted her was an expectedly eerie voice, as if it wanted to grind her bones, “I want to handle you right now.”
Ye Xian: “… CEO, I was wrong.”
“Wrong again?” Bo Tingshen glanced at his phone, wishing he could drag the person listed in his contacts over and give her a good ‘talking to.’
“Ye Xian, I canceled three important etings to attend your award ceremony and planned a candlelight dinner to celebrate with you. Yet, you left without a word of explanation?”
Ye Xian, hearing his tone like a jilted little wife complaining, nibbled her finger, full of guilt. “I’m sorry, CEO. I didn’t an to. It was a special circumstance at the ti. Otherwise, I would never have stood you up. I dream of having dinner with you!”
Dream of it?
Bo Tingshen was thrown off by this unintentional comnt, “Really?”
Seeing that flattery worked, Ye Xian promptly continued, “Of course! Ever since I moved out from Jiuxi Eighteen Islands, I’ve been missing those days making dinner for you, CEO. Even though it was a bit tiring, it was especially cozy and heartwarming, especially watching you eat.”
After she spoke, there was a pause on the other side, and his tone noticeably softened, less frightening, “Is that so? It seems you were the one who ate more.”
Ye Xian: “…” Hitting below the belt, pointing out her flaw.
“What was the ergency?”
He loosened his collar as if he wasn’t as angry anymore and started asking about the reason.
Ye Xian couldn’t co up with a suitable excuse after a while, so she took the bold step of playing the ‘dutiful daughter’ card, “Aunt Xia…she’s sick.”
“Sick?”
The man’s voice deepened, not only without doubt but with a hint of concern, “Is it serious? I’ll co over to check.”
Eh?
Ye Xian didn’t expect him to say that. Why would he visit if her mom was sick? Could it be that her mom and Aunt Wen had beco close friends?
“No, no, no!”
Ye Xian quickly refused, “Just…a cold.”
The man realized he’d been played once he heard ‘cold.’ “Ye, Xian…”
Ye Xian heard his nacing tone and hastily added, “A severe cold!”
Outside the room, Xia Hewan, erging from the bathroom, let out a loud sneeze.
Ye Xian: “…” Did she just curse her mom into catching a cold?
“A little cold can drag you away. Ye Xian, is anyone more important than in your heart?”
“Of course not!” Ye Xian reflexively replied, “CEO, you’re very important! Very, very important!”
She blurted it out without thinking, and Ye Xian herself was taken aback… Has flattering him beco an instinct?
But the man on the other end of the line remained silent, seemingly not believing her, still upset.
Ye Xian truly didn’t know what to do, “CEO, please don’t be mad at , all right? Please? CEO, good CEO~ I swear it won’t happen again next ti!”
Over the phone, her whining, like that of a skilled girlfriend, softened even a heart of stone.
“Next ti? How many tis has it been? Ye Xian, do you think every mistake can be smoothed over with a little pout?”
“Then… what do you want, CEO?”
“Compensate tenfold.”
Ye Xian: “…” Definitely a shrewd businessman, taking advantage of her one mistake with interest, asking tenfold!
“How should I compensate?”
Bo Tingshen: “Tomorrow night, at my private villa. I’ll send you the address shortly.”
“What am I going to do at your private villa?”
Ye Xian was a little curious; could it really be to celebrate? His tone didn’t sound like it.
“What do you think? Of course, to ‘serve’ .”
“…” Ye Xian got it. Once again, she’s to be a maid, cleaning and cooking!
“Okay.”
“You owe . I can do whatever I want with you.”
“Got it.”
Ye Xian puffed out her cheeks. Hearing his tone, what chore was going to put her through this ti?
“Agreed?”
In the dark, the man’s eyes slightly narrowed, apparently not expecting her to agree so easily.
“Mm-hmm.”
Bo Tingshen: “No resisting.”
Ye Xian found it sowhat amusing. Resist? As if she could, he could pin her down with just a finger.
Bo Tingshen: “I recorded our conversation. If you dare to back out…”
Ye Xian pricked up her ears, listening as he slowly said, “I’ll tie you to the bed.”
That voice was like a chainsaw-wielding maniac from a horror movie.
“CEO, you…” You’re such a pervert!
“What about ?”
“Wha-what are you thinking? I surely won’t resist. It’s my pleasure to serve you!”
