CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 604: NO MORE GIVING CANDY TO ANYONE FROM NOW ON

Ye Xian’s first reaction was to nod, but then she thought again...

The CEO, this smart busy man, why would he ask her such a nonsensical question? There certainly was a deeper meaning to his words.

Your candy, is it something just anyone can have = Are you a loose person?

To obtain resources, you’d stop at nothing, passing notes, peeling candies, introducing potential partners, and even getting caught in public?

"Of course not!"

With that in mind, Ye Xian vehemently denied it.

"Then why did you give it to her?"

Bo Tingshen had her cornered, with no way to retreat.

Ye Xian plonked herself down on his desk, scooted back, while the man supported himself with one hand beside her, bending closer and closer to the point that Ye Xian could smell the faint scent of Agarwood on him.

The young woman couldn’t help but put out her hand, pressing it against his firm chest, her gaze shifting unconsciously, "CEO, could you... stand a bit further away from me? When you’re this close, my head just turns into mush, and I can’t think clearly."

"Stand further away so you can think of more lies?"

The man’s thin lips curved slightly, his deep and mellow voice resonating from his chest, making Ye Xian’s fingers tremble with the vibration.

Nice, this old fox, so this was his scheme for getting close, lucky she was quick-witted!

"Why would I need to lie? I’ve already made it clear, Zhu Shanshan was crying because of Ye Shaowen, and I gave her the lollipop because... well, as a young girl crying in front of me, I had to do something to console her, right?"

"You’re not allowed to console her!"

Bo Tingshen seized her hand that was on his chest.

Ye Xian’s hand was removed, and suddenly without support, she leaned back, her legs kicking forward instinctively.

Pang Kai had just hurried out of the office, and because he was in such a rush, he accidentally left some files in the waiting hall. Now creeping back to retrieve them, he glanced unintentionally through a small gap in the blinds and saw... the CEO’s imposing silhouette, as well as a pair of legs dangling in mid-air.

"!!!"

He was so frightened that he plonked down onto the floor, not daring to breathe loudly, before scrambling into the elevator.

In broad daylight, the CEO sure knew how to have fun!

Ye Xian almost tumbled off the table, but fortunately, Bo Tingshen caught her by the waist, "Ye Xian, I’ll let you off this time, but you are not to give candy to anyone else ever again, except to me."

"..." Ye Xian, "Oh, don’t worry, the friendship between us and Little Strawberry is unbreakable!"

"If I catch you again..." Bo Tingshen’s dark eyes fixated on her, a hot, intense spark flaring within them as if imagining some scenario, "it won’t be just a warning anymore."

Ye Xian’s heart fluttered under his ominous gaze, "Rest assured, you won’t catch me again."

"What?"

"Ah spit! I mean, I won’t give candy to anyone else again, not for the life of me, I’d rather be a mangy dog, struck by rolling thunder if I do!"

With such a venomous oath, the cold and gloomy depths of Bo Tingshen’s eyes gradually faded away.

Ye Xian looked at the bullying gesture of one hand gripping her wrist and the other pinching her waist, her eyelids flickering slightly, "So, CEO, can you let go now?"

Bo Tingshen’s hand on her waist exerted a bit more pressure before finally letting go.

Ye Xian winced, rubbing her waist. Could his hand be made of a vice? It was so powerful that she was thankful for her robust health, otherwise, she might have been squashed to death by him, right?
