Chapter 970: Chapter 969: The CEO’s Gift
At the Elegant Royal Court Villa District, the Ye Family’s hall was packed but silent. With a sudden ‘bang,’ the door was pushed open, and everyone looked up to see a tall, dashing man standing at the entrance.
“Tingshen?” Wen Yan stood up sowhat surprised, “You… returned so quickly?”
“Where’s Xianxian?”
Ye Shaowen tossed aside his phone, looking displeased, “Xiao Yezi has stayed in her room ever since posting on Weibo, refusing to co out. It’s been almost six or seven hours.”
Before he could finish his sentence, the man strode up to the second floor.
There was a knock, and the small woman in the darkness slowly moved her hand to her temple, her voice seemingly drowsy or just awakening, as quiet as a mosquito, “Uncle Li, I’m really not hungry…”
“Xianxian, it’s .”
The man’s deep, rich voice ca through, and Ye Xian, who had maintained her posture for a long ti, slowly raised her head, as if she heard a hallucination.
CEO?
Did he co back?
With a ‘click,’ the door was opened from inside, and bright light flooded the dimly sealed room. After being in the dark for so long, Ye Xian’s eyes were slightly uncomfortable against the intense light, but she could still clearly see the man in front of her.
Having flown across several oceans from distant Ro back to the Imperial Capital, his deanor now was not as graceful and poised as usual. His suit tie was slightly loosened, a few shirt buttons were undone, and his scarf was disheveled and fluttering. The cold wind had slightly reddened his ear lobes, giving him a slightly worn-out look.
Especially those deep, dark narrow eyes, desperately trying to conceal the palpable anxiety.
Seeing him, Ye Xian hadn’t even had a chance to speak before she was heavily engulfed in his embrace.
“I’m sorry, baby, I’m late.”
The man held her tightly, his rushed breaths lightly ruffling her hair, his downcast eyes concealing the almost overflowing worry and regret. His heart, anxious and uneasy, finally found so peace at seeing her.
The familiar scent, the compelling force of his strong embrace, buried in his warm, firm chest, choked the words Ye Xian wanted to say, leaving her montarily at a loss.
In those long seven hours, she kept adjusting her emotions, kept ntally preparing herself, thinking that when she faced everyone, especially him, she could say ‘it’s okay’ with ease and composure.
But she hadn’t anticipated how his simple concern, a single hug, could easily revert her, exposing all her accumulated fragility, sensitivity, and sadness.
“CEO…” She trembled in his arms, “I actually thought I was ready, thought about it for a long ti, but… I still disappointed them.”
She saw those words, thinking she was strong enough to face them, yet still felt her nerves being slowly sliced apart.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If you want to cry, just let it out.”
Her shaking made his heart quiver with each tremble. As if comforting a child, his large hand gently caressed her back, “You’ve already done great, exceptionally so. You’re brave, strong, warm, and incredibly bright. You’ve unconditionally brought them joy, works, light, and love. These have nothing to do with gender or identity; it’s you who has healed and attracted them without expecting anything in return. When they calm down, they’ll realize how truly wonderful you are.”
“…Really?”
“Really.”
Bo Tingshen closed his eyes, gently kissing the top of her head, his expression devout and profound, like making a vow to the most supre deity.
Because I’m one of them.
Seeing your starlight dim even a little makes my heart restless. How could I bear to hurt you?
Emotions seed to find an outlet, and Ye Xian held him, letting large, hot tears soak his chest.
Bo Tingshen kissed her slightly reddened eyes, his muscles tensed, and his steady hands were unknowingly clenched into fists, making crackling sounds. Yet, his voice was tender and soft, repeating her na, “Xianxian, Xianxian…”
The one who makes you cry, I will ensure their demise.
In the hall, seeing this scene, everyone felt sowhat relieved. It’s better to let Xianxian vent than to let her endure the sadness alone.
Ye Shaowen sighed with relief, feeling for the first ti that agreeing to Bo Tingshen being with Xiao Yezi was the right and fortunate decision.
At least before him, she could freely express her emotions without any concealnt.
After a dozen minutes, Ye Xian stopped sobbing, and Bo Tingshen gently released her, placing his hands on her shoulders, his deep black eyes peering into her misty, teary ones, “Feeling better?”
Ye Xian silently nodded.
“Then no more crying.” He softly wiped away the moisture from her eyes, “Forget everything that happened and co with .”
Ye Xian looked at him sowhat puzzled, but still obediently nodded.
Bo Tingshen’s lips curled slightly, a gentle smile gracing his face, as he lightly rubbed his forehead against hers.
His blushing and obedient bunny made his heart race.
Bo Tingshen led Ye Xian out of the Ye family ho. Just as Ye Shaowen was about to ask where they were going, Ye Juncheng pulled him back, “Don’t ask.”
At the Asian Gas City car dealership, Ye Xian looked curiously at the person beside her, not understanding why he brought her here. Then a row of salespeople approached, bowing. The lead sales manager cheerfully asked, “President Bo, why are you visiting today? Weren’t you scheduled to co on New Year’s Day?”
Bo Tingshen glanced at the small woman beside him, his eyes slightly gentle, “This little one isn’t in a good mood right now. I couldn’t wait to cheer her up.”
“???”
Ye Xian looked up, and in her peripheral vision, she caught a glimpse of an unparalleled, dazzling sight.
The sales manager pressed a switch, activating a hidden platform that slowly ascended, revealing a WSIE Fantasy series ultimate modified cherry blossom pink supercar to everyone’s view.
Though not the first ti seeing it, the awe couldn’t help but spark in the staff’s eyes.
It was just too cool, too stunning! Anyone who saw it couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.
Ye Xian stood there, almost letting go of Bo Tingshen’s hand.
She had never seen such a beautiful car before, the car’s body exuding a rich, delicate, pearlescent pink hue, elegant and cool in its sci-fi form. From head to tail, it was enveloped in an aura of noble luxury and cutting-edge technology, even down to the wheels which exuded a sexy and wild tension.
Pink but not cloying, beautiful but not delicate.
It seed magnificent yet possessed an intimidating sense of speed and power, as if the mont you started it, it would imdiately shed its elegant exterior, revealing a fierce face and unmatched speed.
Stunned, Ye Xian couldn’t help but release the man’s hand and walk towards it.
“Can I touch it?”
She asked the sales manager, who nodded repeatedly, “Of course you can!”
“Welco, owner. Nice to et you, I am your beloved ride—Wind Sakura, but you can call Xiao Ying.”
As soon as Ye Xian’s hand touched it, Wind Sakura emitted a crisp voice, startling her, “It… it talks too?”
Furthermore, her beloved ride??
Could this be the gift the CEO had ntioned earlier, the surprise for New Year’s Day?!
Sales Manager: “Yes, it’s a WSIE Fantasy series global limited edition cherry blossom pink high-end intelligent supercar. The car’s chip is preprogramd with your fingerprint, and as soon as you touch it, it’ll start to serve you. Moreover, only you can awaken, command, and open its doors.”
Not only is it stunning, but so advanced too?
Ye Xian looked at Bo Tingshen in astonishnt, only to see him approaching her, “Do you like it?”
“Yes!”
Love it, love it so much that she didn’t know how to express it.
She never dared to dream of a car this beautiful in the world, so beautiful that she almost thought it was so high-tech projection just now, which is why she couldn’t resist reaching out to touch it.
“So beautiful.”
“As long as you like it.”
A spark finally appeared in her eyes, and Bo Tingshen couldn’t help but caress her face, “It’s not just about beauty, later I’ll take you out to experience its power.”
“Really?”
Great! She can’t wait to try it now!
“Hey, CEO, why the sudden thought of giving a sports car?”
She seed to have never ntioned it in front of him.
“Do you rember the post you shared on July 17?”
Ye Xian: “Huh?” Who can rember a random social dia post from months ago?
“You said that speeding is best when you’re unhappy, and when the speed reaches a certain point, all worries vanish.”
“Wind Sakura can fulfill that for you.”
“…” Ye Xian was dumbfounded, realizing soone could rember her random post word for word.
“Xiao Ying is feeling bullied.”
Xiao Ying suddenly spoke up, expressing the sentint of everyone present, and Ye Xian was startled. She turned to see cartoon text on the interior screen: “Owner’s spouse is so handso and attentive~”
Her cheeks turned red involuntarily, this is too smart. Imagine her and the CEO in the car…
“Ahem, can this smart system be turned off?”
“The switch is here.”
Xiao Ying imdiately showed a crying face, written on it was “Master I won’t dare again.”
Ye Xian laughed.
“Go up and give it a try.”
“Okay.”
Ye Xian sat in the driver’s seat, just about to fasten her seatbelt, when the man picked her up and placed her in the passenger seat.
“?” She looked puzzled, “What’s up?”
“Unhappy people sit in the passenger seat.”
“Who said? Sitting in the driver’s seat gives the real experience!”
Bo Tingshen glanced at her and said faintly, “Lin Yan said so.”
Huh?
Ye Xian was montarily stunned, then recalled that the post she made that day was to comfort Lin Yan, and Lin Yan even comnted thanking her for cheering him up with the car ride, hoping they could go again next ti. Instantly, she shrank back, whispering, “But you definitely can’t be faster than .”
Bo Tingshen looked at her defiant little face, squinting slightly, “You sure?”
Sure, for certain and definitely, she’s a race car driver, how could most people compare… Hey!
The polished shoe pressed onto the accelerator, Xiao Ying let out an elegant, sexy hum, then raced out of Asian Gas City like a sword, stirring up a stream of air.
“Wow!”
The city staff gaped, at this speed, is it Wind Sakura? More like a wind-blown bullet!
Ye Xian didn’t expect Xiao Ying’s start-up speed and Bo Tingshen’s rapid driving style.
“Cold?”
Ye Xian: “Not cold, this isn’t fast at all, I’d surely go faster than this!”
“Alright.”
Once out of Asian Gas City, there’s a natural racing road without speed limits leading directly to the edge of the city. Bo Tingshen turned the steering wheel onto the track, focused ahead, and expressionlessly accelerated to 150 mph.
Speed abruptly increased, Xiao Ying was effortlessly able to handle it, and Ye Xian looked worriedly at the person beside her, “CEO, are you okay? Don’t push it, without professional practice, driving this fast can lead to accidents.”
Not sure whether Xiao Ying was too fast or brought too sharp wind speed, Bo Tingshen only heard two words.
No good?
He glanced at the person next to him, further accelerating to 200 mph.
“Ah!!!”
The car roared, wind slashed like blades, shadows of the trees flickering, and on the winding and continuous race track, Wind Sakura sped like light or electricity. Ye Xian scread, “Too fast, too fast, CEO you’re going too fast, slow down~”
“This is fast?”
Bo Tingshen’s voice was shattered by the cold wind, reaching her ears only as he further increased the speed.
“Hey, slow down, ah ah ah…” Ye Xian watched as the scenery ahead began to blur, frightened, her face changing color. Even she had rarely attempted such speed; is the CEO truly experienced in racing or just triggered by her?
If it’s the latter, that’d be disastrous!
“Slow down, slow down! It’s too fast, I can’t take it anymore!”
“If you can’t take it, hold onto .”
Bo Tingshen looked at her, at this mont, her eyes focused only on the scenery in front and marveled at the speed, nothing else.
“Don’t look at , watch the road!!!”
Ye Xian was scared by him, initially thinking her words could force him to stop, but unexpectedly he went even faster, so fast Ye Xian felt he wanted to fly the car.
Bo Tingshen slamd the accelerator to the floor, Ye Xian scread as she lunged into his embrace, “You’re crazy, going this fast, trying to fly!”
Xiao Ying: “Master rest assured, I won’t.”
“You might not, but I will! Xiao Ying, never thought you’d look so cute and yet run so fiercely!”
Xiao Ying: “The pinker the color, the fiercer the driving!”
Bo Tingshen laughed heartily, steering single-handedly, gently rubbing the little woman’s hair in his arms, “Baby, do you feel a bit more relaxed?”
Relaxed? He’s driving so fast, as if he’ll break through the sky any second, right now she’s as tense as ever!
“Not relaxed at all, I’m extrely tense!”
She was so tense she was swallowing words, hearing this, Bo Tingshen’s body stiffened, nearly leaving the track, scaring Ye Xian into squeals, “Bo Tingshen, stop the car! Stop quickly!”
“No stopping.”
Bo Tingshen adjusted his breathing, as if a raging fire burned inside him, sharply driving towards the mountain at the city’s edge.
The wind howled, trailing Ye Xian’s screams along the way.
Initially, she was indeed worried, afraid a mistake would lead to an overturn. But gradually she realized his driving skills were really exceptional, seemingly familiar with the track, expertly controlling with one hand, no longer scared, though the shouting didn’t stop. Racing with cries was truly exhilarating, as if expelling all the air from her lungs, along with any resentnt and chaos.
