CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 913: PRICELESS TREASURE

Bo Tingshen: "Your second brother?"

"Mm-hmm, Mom and Dad and my big brother have all agreed, but my second brother... he still seems to have a bias against you. I explained to him last night, but it didn’t seem to help. What should we do?"

"It’s fine. Your second brother appears strong, but family is his Achilles’ heel. As long as everyone else agrees, he will naturally be influenced to accept it."

"Really, are you so confident?"

"You don’t believe me?"

"Of course, I believe you. You’re a top boss." Ye Xian reached out both hands, hooking them around his neck, "The most amazing person in the world is also... the most amazing person in my heart."

Bo Tingshen was taken aback by her sudden affection, his mind quickly getting lost in the dimples of her gentle smile. Ye Xian’s gaze also gradually shifted to his thin lips.

The distance between them grew closer, the air around them filled with sweet affection, the ambiguous atmosphere almost about to burst. Just as their lips were about to touch, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, "Xiao Yezi, did you fall into the toilet?"

"Oh no!"

Ye Xian was so scared she instantly snapped back to reality, escaping from the man’s palms, and rushed to the women’s restroom, pulling her collar as she went.

Ye Shaowen didn’t hear Ye Xian’s response, so he happened to walk into the men’s room, just in time to see... Bo Tingshen washing his face? In the middle of winter, with the water turned to its coldest, as if trying hard to wake himself up with cold water.

Hmph, maybe the performance just now went on too long, and he’s worn out?

He was just about to turn on the faucet when he saw the man lift his head, his deep eyes looking at him in the mirror. With a keen business acumen, he immediately sensed it, raised his head, and met his gaze, curling his lips into a cold smile, "Bo Tingshen, don’t think you can use anything to win me over, and don’t pretend to flatter me. Mom and Dad and big brother might be deceived by you, but I won’t. Xiao Yezi is a priceless treasure in my life; no one is worthy of her!"

Not just him, no one is worthy of Xiao Yezi, no one...

Ye Shaowen said, unconsciously clenching his fists.

But the man in the mirror only withdrew his gaze indifferently, his voice cold and emotionless, "Excuse me."

Ye Shaowen looked at his expressionless face, frowning in slight confusion.

As they brushed past each other, Ye Shaowen felt as if, even though he hadn’t said anything, he was emitting a deliberately strong aura and warning.

Consider yourself lucky to have such a priceless treasure for so long, from now on, she will belong to me alone.

Asshole!

Ye Shaowen quickly turned his head, just in time to see Ye Xian coming out of the women’s restroom, her coat zipped up to her chin, looking at him with curiosity, "Second brother, was it you calling me just now?"

Ye Shaowen controlled his anger, but his face was still not looking too good, "Mm, why were you in the restroom for so long?"

"Uh... I ate a mosquito that was so disgusting, I was throwing up for a while, just feeling a bit better now."

"Still feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, no."

Ye Xian said, and then heard from the hall that Bo Tingshen was actually saying goodbye to Mom and Dad, so she quickly walked over.

Is he leaving so soon?

"Xiao Yezi!"

Ye Shaowen also turned off the faucet and hurried to catch up.

"Thanks to Uncle and Aunt for the warm hospitality."

"You’re leaving now? Why not stay a little longer?"

"Tingshen, if you’re not busy with work, remember to visit often."

"Eh..."

Ye Xian stood among the crowd, hesitant to speak, waiting for him to come over and say a few words to her, but to her surprise, his gaze lingered on her for only 0.01 seconds before he turned and walked down the stairs.

The car sped away, and as the car’s silhouette disappeared from view, Ye Xian still looked on somewhat wistfully. Ye Shaowen, unsatisfied, pinched her ear, "Still looking, still looking! Is that cold ice-face really so pleasant to look at?"

"..." Ye Xian honestly nodded, "Yes."

The CEO, with no expression, could sit there all day for her to watch, and she’d be drooling.

"Doesn’t your second brother look good?!"

Beside her, Zhu Shanshan whispered, "Good-looking."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder~"

Ye Xian walked away with her hands behind her back, laughing as she headed upstairs, while Ye Shaowen glared at Zhu Shanshan, shouting, "Don’t use such terms carelessly, I will never acknowledge your relationship!"

Just as she went upstairs, Ye Xian took out her phone to text Bo Tingshen to ask why he left so hastily, but unexpectedly, he’d already sent the answer.

—If I didn’t leave, you’d exhaust me to death.

Ye Xian thinking about that kiss that began and ended too quickly, held her phone, and burst out laughing.

The atmosphere was quite nice just now. If it hadn’t been interrupted by second brother... As she licked her lips, imagining the possibilities, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the phone number, she squinted her eyes, "Jiang Wen, you’ve got the nerve to call me?"

Jiang Wen, remembering the last time he tricked her into shooting an ad at the Sky Ring Building, wore a guilty smile, "My dear ancestor, don’t blame me. I’m just a poor worker. Can I dare not follow my boss’s orders? Besides, I’m here to make up for it, you see? The file I just sent you is the premium script I’ve been working around the clock to carefully select for you - ’Imperial Power’.

This year’s most explosive women’s fiction IP on the internet, directed by Zhang Bin, the genius director in the industry, and the scriptwriter is also..." Jiang Wen excitedly talked for a long time, finally releasing the heavy news, "Also, two of the Four Young Leading Actresses, who are currently the hottest in the circle, volunteered to lower themselves to second leads just to act with you. If you take this drama, it means you go from a supporting role in the previous drama to super first-line lead overnight. Even the two hottest female stars would support you. No one can suppress your billing anymore!"

Ye Xian: "I don’t care about the billing, who are the two competing actresses?"

"Le Hui and Cheng Peihan. Although... their acting skills are not as good as yours, they are decent. As you know, in the past two years, the situation for female stars in the entertainment industry hasn’t been great. There isn’t even a single female trending star who can compete head-to-head with popular male stars. The Four Young Leading Actresses are the most popular at the moment, and Le Hui and Cheng Peihan are arch-rivals. This time, they fought fiercely over this opportunity, and their fan accounts are tearing each other apart online. But you don’t need to worry, the more they tear into each other, the higher the drama’s traffic will get. We can just reap the benefits."

Le Hui and Cheng Peihan...

Ye Xian hadn’t watched their dramas, but she never stopped hearing rumors about them: hyping up a CP with every drama, being flavor of the month, getting involved in love triangles with male co-actors...

"Are you sure they want to act in this drama?"

"I know your concerns. These two don’t have the best reputation in the industry, but they are absolutely sincere about this drama because both want to use this opportunity to compete for next year’s Golden Crown Goddess!"
