Bo Tingshen: âWhatâs in it for me?â
âThe benefit is⦠if you help Lin Yan this once, heâll remember the favor. Plus, if Old Master Lin and Lin Yan mend their relationship, theyâll be grateful to you!â
âI donât need that.â
Ye Xian: ââ¦â As expected, the big devil wouldnât be moved by such emotional ties.
Ye Xian scratched her head in distress and muttered softly, âThen, CEO, what do you need?â
She didnât dare to really ask, after all, she definitely didnât have what a top-tier boss would need.
Bo Tingshenâs gaze swept up and down over her, âWhat can you give me?â
âI canâ¦â
Ye Xian wracked her brain, trying to think of something she could exchange with him.
âGot it!â
An idea sparked in her mind, and she raised her hand, âCEO, I recently learned a couple of traditional Chinese massage techniques from Xiao Lu. Theyâre really effective. You must be exhausted from a dayâs work outside, right? How about I give you a massage?â
Bo Tingshen pursed his lips and remained silent.
Ye Xian took his silence for consent and ran behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders, finding a few acupoints, and began to work.
The youthâs pale, slender fingers were soft and boneless, lacking strength. The massage was like tickling, but the steady breathing that drifted down his neck tickled his heart from between two bones.
Ye Xian: âCEO, does it feel good?â
She leaned close to his ear and asked gently, her faint breath flowing down the side of his ear and into the collar of his shirt, the warmth tantalizing.
Bo Tingshen closed his eyes, his voice a bit hoarse, âIf you come a bit closer, Iâll feel even better.â
Ye Xian thought he was being sarcastic, assuming he actually meant she was too close, so she stepped back a few paces.
âCEO, if thereâs any part of you that still feels uncomfortable, I can massage it too!â
âMy whole body feels uncomfortable.â
Ye Xian: ââ¦â âIt might be hard to work properly here, right?â
Bo Tingshen: âShould we move to the bed?â
Ye Xian: ââ¦â Why does the CEOâs tone feel weird?
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm⦠Iâm not that professional yet.â
âThatâs enough.â
It was too ticklish.
His heart was so ticklish, he couldnât go on anymore.
Bo Tingshen called a stop, but Ye Xian, as if she hadnât heard, continued to massage with dedication.
âI said thatâs enough.â
The man suddenly grasped her hand, his grip stronger than intended, causing Ye Xianâs wrist to hurt.
âCEO, youâre too strong. It hurts.â
Ye Xian shook her hand. Bo Tingshen loosened his grip slightly but felt something bothersome against his palm.
He rolled up her sleeve and saw a delicate diamond bracelet, âWhat is that?â
âThis⦠This is a small gift from the brand when I did an advertisement.â
âTake it off and let me see.â
âThereâs no need for that, right?â
Bo Tingshen lifted his gaze to hers, and Ye Xian: ââ¦â
She took off the bracelet Ye Shaowen had given her and handed it to him.
How can the CEO be so curious? He shouldnât recognize this bracelet, should he?
âStorehouseâpart of the latest limited edition menâs bracelet series by Franceâs rencontrer, with only thirty pieces worldwide.â
Ye Xian: â!!â Shit, I forgot Boâs started in luxury goods. How could such a shrewd and knowledgeable boss not know such a famous luxury brand? Mistake! Should I come clean?
She didnât have time to think as Bo Tingshen continued, âReleased just over three months ago, itâs solely sold in specialty stores within France. Ye Shaowen just happened to be in France at that time, right?â
Ye Xian: â!!!â Is this even human? Is this Sherlock Holmes alive? How did he manage to calculate the time and events?
