Ye Xian was holding her phone, just wanting to see how effective the promotional video was, when she saw the screen filled with comments... make love?
Buy Coke?
"!!!"
So, the advertisement title she always thought was innocent and meaningful turned out to have such a lewd meaning?!
No wonder the CEO asked her if she knew what buying Coke meant and if she had thoughts about him, apparently knowing this implication all along, suspecting that she... wanted to "buy Coke" with him?
Ah! Ye Xian immediately felt insulted!
She swiftly keyed in a string of numbers, just about to dial, but then hesitated... Wait, would the CEO think she was protesting too much by calling him now?
Especially since "makelove" was all over the promotional video now, and everyone was taking it as a joke related to the storyline of the video without tying it back to the actor, and she had clearly expressed to him that she had no such thoughts.
If she had known that was what he meant, she should have jumped up and denied it on the spot!
Zhou Lu watched as Ye Xian held her phone, looking alternately vexed and irate, then she noticed the number Ye Xian had confidently keyed in was... President Bo?
When did Brother Ye memorize President Boâs number so well? And it was rare to see such strong emotions from Brother Yeâwas it because of President Bo?
Could it be that the CP (celebrity pairing) she had been secretly shipping was finally evolving from a one-sided story to a mutual narrative?!
The next day, Ye Xian got up from bed with a heavy head, shook it off, and thought she was losing itâshe had actually dreamt about... Bo Tingshen all night.
In her dreams, he trapped her in a swimming pool corner and asked if her getting close to him was because she wanted to "buy Coke" with him, and at the Jiuxi Eighteen Islands, while eating, he asked if her cooking for him was an attempt to conquer his stomach before conquering him, and the person who had kicked her off the bed at the Jintai Hotel when she first arrived, who had originally been Jiang Wanze, now became Bo Tingshen, with the dialogue changed to her not being worthy of "buying Coke" with him!
That dismissive look and tone made her wake up in fury and, upon awakening, she heard herself shout, "Who wants to buy Coke with you!"
Zhou Lu got her a new phone, and when Ye Xian logged into her account, she saw that the FOR group had blown up with messagesâ99+.
Wasnât everyone usually busy?
She clicked in and found Cary the only one in high spirits, first forwarding her "Coke" promotional video and then frantically @ing her like a rapid-fire cannon.
"Ye Xian, the top in this is... the CEO, right?"
"Is it really the CEO?"
"Is it the CEO or not?"
"Donât play dead, Iâve watched it dozens of times, Iâm sure the build and the voice are the CEOâs! I could never mistake his voice after so many chats he had with my dad!"
"No wonder the CEO yelled at me for you yesterday..."
Cary rambled on for a while before coming to an utterly bizarre conclusion.
"Ye Xian, be honest, why is the CEO so nice to you? Did you give something in return?"
"Could it be the CEO... is ill? Did you donate a kidney to him? Liver? Or was it your heart?"
"Ye Xian, please donât do anything rash, donât lose your life just for a momentâs fame! Let me take this opportunity!"
Ye Xian: "..." Goen (Korean: sorry).
Seeing Lin Yan and Jiang Wanze werenât responding, Ye Xian simply blocked him as well.
Because of the special nature of todayâs scenes, the staff of "Conquest of the World" had worked overnight in Hengdian to set up a grandiose Imperial Palace set.
