Bo Tingshen slowly unfolded the paper in his hand.
Ye Xian froze when she saw the crisscrossing, densely packed lines and data on it.
Is this an architectural floor plan?
Looking at the complex lines and data on it, itâs not an ordinary building, but more like⦠a villa or a castle?
âCEO, why are you showing me this?â
âSee if thereâs anything you donât like or anywhere that needs changes.â
â?â Ye Xian looked at him strangely, âI havenât studied architectural design. How would I understand this?â
Bo Tingshen: âWherever you donât understand, you can ask me.â
âWaitâ¦â Ye Xian interrupted him, âShouldnât you be asking an architect about this? Why ask me?â
Bo Tingshen looked down at her, âBecause this is the house Iâm giving you.â
âWhat?! Giving me a house?â
Ye Xian was so shocked she stuttered.
Isnât he joking? Though she couldnât understand architectural drawings, she could understand the data. This villa is bigger than the entire Ye Family mansion! And itâs located in the most prosperous and expensive area of the Imperial Capital. Even with a rough estimate, it must be worth billions, right?
Giving it to her? Heâs crazy!
âCEO, are you joking with me?â
Bo Tingshen: âDo I look like Iâm joking?â
Ye Xian: ââ¦â Not really, but how is this possible?
âOr do you think I came all the way from the Imperial Capital just to punish you?â
Ye Xian: ⦠Isnât that so?
âBut CEO, why are you giving me a house? And such a big and expensive one?â
âItâs not that expensive, there are discounts under the Shangguanâs Real Estate Group.â
Itâs not about discounts, the problem isâ¦
âCEO, why are you suddenly giving me a house? Donât tell me thereâs some conspiracy?â
Ye Xian looked at him defensively.
Bo Tingshen saw her guarded look, like a startled little white rabbit ready to flee at the slightest sign, his lips pressed tight.
There is.
A plot for you.
âThis isnât an ordinary house. It has four layers of security systems inside and out, including two 24-hour manned security guards. Not even a fly can get in if you donât want it to. Since there was an incident at Jiuxi Eighteen Islands last time and youâre afraid to live there, you can live here.â
âThis year, your shares in Star Entertainment have risen sharply, and the boss is rewarding you with a house. Whatâs wrong with that?â
So, itâs for her safety, butâ¦
âThis house is too precious, I canât accept it, and Iâm living quite well at the Ye Family house.â
âQuite well?â Bo Tingshenâs brow twitched slightly, âLiving quite well with Ye Shaowen, right?â
â?â
Ye Xian caught the displeasure in his tone, âNot at all, CEO, why are you bringing this up again? Didnât I already explain this clearly to you? Although I live in the Ye Family house, Iâm not living with Ye Shaowen, we seldom meet even!â
âNo way.â
Bo Tingshen completely ignored her explanation, âDo you remember the agreement you made with me just now?â
Ye Xian: â⦠Yes, I remember.â
âThat agreement is that you must move in here.â
Ye Xian: ââ¦â Heâs really digging a hole for her.
âI refuse!â Ye Xian said firmly, âI canât accept such a big house from you for no reason, without earning it.â
Adding up, a villa spanning several thousand square feet, even a wealthy manâs courtship gift couldnât be this extravagant.
âYou want a reason, right?â
Bo Tingshen pinched her chin, his deep, dark eyes penetrating into her beautiful amber eyes.
Ye Xian: â⦠Hmm.â
Why does his gaze give her such a dangerous feeling?
âYouâre currently the most commercially valuable male star in the entertainment industry, youâd only need half a year to earn back this house. Is that enough?â
When Ye Xian heard this reason, all the words of resistance stuck in her throat.
So thatâs the reason, he wants to keep her⦠But he still doesnât know that her second brotherâs termination contract is already drafted.
Bo Tingshen watched her eyelashes gradually droop, and as she accepted, her complexion gradually became calmer. âDonât be afraid of loneliness, Snowball will also move in then.â
âOh.â
âThere are also other surprises that will move in.â
Bo Tingshen deliberately emphasized lightly on this sentence, then began to introduce her to the location and layout of the house.
Ye Xian wasnât in the mood to listen to what he was saying anymore, feeling only a chaotic mess in her heart, tangled and unresolvable.
Clearly, she used to be very happy when thinking about terminating the contract with Star Entertainment, but now⦠the CEO is so good to her, gifting her bracelets and houses, and delivering the topmost resources right in front of her, how could she possibly bear to leave?
But if she doesnât leave, her second brother wonât back down.
She already agreed.
Ye Xian was extremely conflicted, subconsciously avoiding looking at the manâs wristwatch, âCEO, the one-hour free rest time given by the program group is almost up, I have to go back to recording.â
So soon?
The man who always cherished time like gold now felt that three thousand six hundred seconds passed in an instant.
He put away the blueprints, âIf there are no issues, you can move in ten days later.â
So soon?
Ye Xian looked at him in surprise, âCan weâ¦delay it?â
After handing over the termination letterâ¦this way, she wouldnât have to move in, and sheâd owe him a little less.
âNo.â
Bo Tingshen firmly refused, his tone strong and unyielding.
He could no longer stand looking at her through a screen every day, wanting her.
Ye Xian drooped her eyelids, âAlright then, letâs goâ¦â
In the distance, there suddenly came a wave of chaotic sounds, rising and falling incessantlyâ¦
Ye Xian heard it and her eyes widened in shock.
Although she had never cooked pork, she had seen pigs run; this sound was unmistakably that!
Giao!
In broad daylight, in the wilderness, are people so bold and daring now? Is there no room in their house?
If she heard it alone, thatâd be one thing, but she was with the CEO, how awkward!
âCEO, letâs hurry and leave!â
Ye Xian pulled him to go, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly hugged her tightly from behind, leaning to breathe in her ear, clearly affected and unable to take a step.
â!!!â
Ye Xian was so shocked that her hair stood on end, the CEO was soâ¦young and impulsive, filled with vigor, couldnât handle this little bit of stimulation?
âMr. CEO, why not call Pang Kai to pick us up?â
They had unknowingly walked a hundred meters, and for some reason, Pang Kai had driven the car far away.
âNo.â
When the man spoke again, his voice was already deep and hoarse, as if struggling to suppress something, but his chaotic breath betrayed his excitement, clutching her as if wanting to melt her into his bones.
Ye Xian felt his body hot as a volcano, she was on the verge of tears, what should she do?
She unexpectedly saw a sign hanging several meters away, on which was writtenâFebruary Flower Maple Forest.
Suddenly, she understood the true meaning of Du Muâs âMountain Tripâ, âStop the carriage to love the maple forest at dusk, frost leaves redder than February flowersâ.
Modern people really practice ancient wisdom to the fullest, unfortunately, it troubled her deeply.
âSo, so-soâ¦â
âYe Xian, youâre the one who brought me here.â
Bo Tingshen slightly raised his head and bit her ear with his dry lips, Ye Xian immediately froze like a little beast with a knife to its neck, not daring to move, âSo so so what?â
âSo you have to take responsibility.â
â?!â How am I supposed to be responsible!
âHelp me.â
The manâs breaths were getting heavier and heavier, to the point of being intimidating.
Ye Xian was so scared her voice was trembling, âN-no way!â
âEven if no, you must.â
Bo Tingshen firmly took her hand, Ye Xian screamed âahâ, hurriedly raised the scarf around her neck, and tumbled and scrambled outward.
Bo Tingshen saw her fleeing figure, his eyes black as ink with hints of red, where are you running to?
Footsteps came from behind, Ye Xian screamed in panic, scaring even the source of the sound several meters away into silence.
âMr. CEO, let me go, Iâm a man!â
âA man can too.â
âA man canât!!!â
âHelp, save me!â
Outside the February Flower Maple Forest, Pang Kai was listening to music when he suddenly heard a cry for help. Puzzled, he pulled out his earphones, listened, but heard nothing.
On the âTop Flow Competitionâ show, after the segment where six brothers showered together aired, the director frequently glanced at his watch, wondering why Ye Xian hadnât arrived yet.
Missing the shower segment caused real-time viewership to drop significantly!
The upcoming section was crucial for the eliminated guest of this episode. If he missed it, itâd be like being automatically ousted? He couldnât be ousted, Skyline has already listed him as a key focus, and the future ratings depend on him.
âWhy isnât Ye Xian back yet? If he doesnât return, the director might make us shower again, and my skin is already going to peel!â
Cary complained.
Jiang Wanze put on his clothes, âHe may not be back for a while.â
The elder brother personally drove to Quan City to find him, definitely something important is going on.
Lin Yan: âBut âTop Flowâ is very important to Ye Xian, he will definitely come back.â
Cary: âThatâs not necessarily true, maybe heâs busy trying to please the CEO and canât extricate himself, diligently helping the CEO now!â
Otherwise, the CEO wouldnât favor him so much, even hitting others for him! Cary felt aggrieved just thinking about it, like a little wife.
âHey, whatâs the relationship between your CEO and Ye Xian? Why do they seem so close?â
Liang Liang wanted to gossip when suddenly a figure appeared at the door of the room.
The director saw Ye Xian and breathed a sigh of relief, âYe Xian, youâre back?â
