At the Ye Family, Xia Hewan and Ye Zhuoxuan quickly got up. Before they could ask about Ye Junchengâs surgery, they saw Ye Xian angrily head upstairs.
âXianxian, dinner is ready.â
âNot eating, not hungry.â
âWhatâs wrong with Xianxian?â
Xia Hewan looked curiously at the two brothers, not expecting that Ye Shaowenâs face didnât look good either, âYou think Bo Tingshen is as simple as he seems? Just because he gives you some good resources, heâs a good person? Naive! Youâre throwing a tantrum now, but youâll thank me later! Iâm not eating either, Iâm full from anger!â
Xia Hewan: âWhatâs going on here?â
Ye Juncheng: âItâs nothing, just a little argument.â
Argument?
It didnât look like a small argument.
As soon as Ye Xian entered the room, she took off the mask and picked up the small mirror on the dressing table. She wasnât avoiding food just to make Ye Shaowen angry; she was also worried about others seeing the wound on her lips.
The CEO was ruthless! A kiss that broke her lips, though his own wound seemed even largerâ¦
Her fingers lightly touched the small wound that had already crusted over on her lips. In an instant, the aggressive kiss from the man, his handsome face, the strong agarwood scent full of hormones, and his overpowering forcefulness flashed through her mind like a slideshow.
Ye Xian quickly put down the mirror and swallowed.
It was only the second kiss, yet how did the CEO become so skilled? The kiss left her dizzy, as if her body was floatingâ¦
Wait! Why is she thinking about this? Sheâs gone mad!
Her face suddenly turned beet red, and she fanned her face with her hands. It must be because she talked too much with that colorful Shangguan Yunli today, and caught his craziness.
But⦠since the second brother already submitted the contract termination to Star Entertainment, why hasnât the company reacted at all?
Checking her phone, in the WeChat group, Cary was still sharing idiotic memes as always. Her fans on Weibo were eagerly waiting for selfies in their supertopic. With her being on leave, no one in the contacts was calling her, and everything seemed calm, as if nothing happened.
Her curiosity got the better of her, so she called Jiang Wen. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen immediately said, âYe Xian, are you calling to ask for leave? No need, President Bo has already arranged it for you.â
âThe CEO arranged leave for me?â
âYes, I heard you got injured and wonât be able to get out of bed for the next ten days to half a month. I was going to call to see how youâre doing, but the CEO told me not to bother you. Are you alright?â
âI, when did Iâ¦â
Ye Xian looked down at the bandage on her ankle.
Could the CEO be referring to this? Isnât this over-exaggerating? Saying ten days to half a month, it makes her sound like sheâs paralyzed. She feels almost better now.
âDuring this time, just rest and heal well, donât worry about work. Weâre so popular right now, itâs more about quality than quantity for our projects. Iâll pick scripts for you and send them your way when I find good ones.â
âWait, Brother Jiang⦠I called to ask about my contract?â
He talked for so long but didnât mention anything about the contract at all, like he didnât know she had terminated with Star Entertainment.
âOh, your contract is almost up, right? Itâs fine; once youâre better, just come to the company to renew it.â
Ye Xian: â?â He really doesnât know? Could it be that⦠the second brotherâs contract didnât go through the companyâs legal department but was intercepted directly by the CEO?
Whatâs the CEOâs intention? Doesnât want her to terminate? He⦠probably doesnât want her to leave.
Hugging her phone, Ye Xian rolled on the bed, her ears feeling a bit hot. After thinking it through, she decided to visit the CEO the next day to clear things up before handling the contract matters. She doesnât want any more misunderstandings between them.
The next day, Ye Xian finished getting ready, feeling fresh and about to go out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ye Shaowen outside.
He held a bowl of cold noodles, looking at her with displeasure, âEven if youâre angry, you should eat something, right?â
Did he cook this for her last night?
Feeling a bit guilty, Ye Xian touched her ear, âIâm really not hungry, I fell asleep as soon as I got back yesterday.â
âSuch a little lazy pig~â
As soon as she showed weakness, Ye Shaowen immediately softened, âDressed so smartly today, where are you going? DMSE called to remind you, urging you to go sign the contract.â
âAh⦠yes, Iâm going to DMSE to sign the contract.â
âReally?â A hint of joy appeared in Ye Shaowenâs eyes, âYouâve thought it through? Let second brother go with you.â
âNo need!â Ye Xian refused immediately, âSecond brother, youâve been running around with nothing to do these days, you should quickly get to work!â
âSecond brother is going to work; you forgot I have shares in DMSE. Taking care of your contract is part of my job.â
âBut, butâ¦â
But she needs to go to Golden Palm Villa to see the CEO first, then go to DMSE.
Xia Hewan walked up from downstairs, âWhat are you two arguing about so early?â
Ye Xian took the opportunity to complain, âMom, second brother is such a busybody. Iâm just going to sign a contract, and he wants to follow!â
âHey, Xiao Yeziâ¦â
âShaowen, see, your sister does feel a bit restricted. Sheâs not a child anymore; she doesnât need you to accompany her everywhere.â
Ye Xian: âExactly!â
Xia Hewan continued, âXianxian, Lu Cen just called, saying heâd like to visit. I think he might want to ask you out. Why donât you let him accompany you to sign the contract today?â
Ye Xian: âAh?!â
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Ye Zhuoxuan warmly welcomed Lu Cen in.
ââ¦â Ye Xian, âI refuse!â
âInvalid refusal. You still havenât explained your rudeness at the Lu Familyâs banquet. Plus, itâs just accompanying you to sign a contract, not a date. Why are you so resistant?â
Ye Xian rubbed her head, feeling overwhelmed.
Ye Shaowen leaned over sneakily, âSo, Xiao Yezi, is it me going with you or that guy?â
Neither!
Ye Xian reluctantly weighed her options, âHim.â
Ye Shaowen was so angry his teeth ground together.
Alright, she hasnât even gotten a boyfriend yet, but sheâs already distancing herself from him. When she does, sheâs not going to have any room for him at all! He must be vigilant and ensure Xiao Yezi has no inkling of romance!
âYoung Master Lu hasnât had breakfast yet, has he? Join us then.â
âThank you, uncle. Iâve already had breakfast.â
Lu Cen glanced at Ye Xian, who was gloomily eating breakfast at the table, and was momentarily lost in thought.
In female attire, sheâs exquisitely beautiful, dazzling, and radiant; in male attire, sheâs fresh and handsome, immaculate.
Miss Ye is truly enchanting.
Xia Hewan immediately picked up on his feelings for Ye Xian and smiled, âYoung Master Lu, Xianxian needs to sign with a new company today. If youâre free, would you mind giving her a ride?â
