"Has he won your heart?"
"No! Definitely not! I donât feel anything for him!"
Ye Xian widened her eyes, showing an innocent look, trying to prove her innocence.
"Dare to feel anything, and Iâll dig out your heart!"
So terrifying... Sob sob sob...
Ye Xian looked at his slightly sinister but handsome face, her chin wrinkled like an almond, and she sniffed, "CEO, youâre being unreasonable, falsely accusing me~ and pinching me!"
"Youâd better mean that." Bo Tingshen slightly loosened his grip on her shoulders, "Then why did you attend the engagement party that day? And why did you let him accompany you to the company today?"
"No, what engagement party? Who told you that? It was just an ordinary Lu Family banquet that day. I attended as the youngest daughter of the Ye Family, a longtime friend of the Lu Family, just to introduce myself, definitely not an engagement party! Today, Lu Cen accompanied me because he had a task from Old Master Lu, and I only came along because my mom told me to. Neither of us wanted to be here!"
"Is that so? But the way he looks at you doesnât seem unwilling at all."
"CEO, youâre way too suspicious about people..."
"Hmm?"
Ye Xian immediately closed her mouth, putting on a firm expression, "Even if heâs willing, itâs just wishful thinking on his part; I will never have feelings for him!"
Bo Tingshen: "Swear it."
Ye Xian was puzzled, "Swear what?"
"Swear youâll never see him again."
"But our family and the Lu Family still..."
"Iâll handle the rest for you."
Handle?
Ye Xian suspiciously looked at him, was he trying to handle the matter, or the person? She had explained the relationship between the Lu Family and their family along with Old Master Boâs affairs to him. Surely, he wouldnât do anything to Lu Cen...
The little womanâs amber eyes rolled around and got caught by the man, "Ye Xian, are you thinking about him?"
"No!"
"Ha."
He let out a cold laugh, his face cool, as he pinned her down on the sofa, "Then let me deal with you first."
"Ah, ah, ah~ no! Iâll swear, Iâll swear now!"
Ye Xian was so scared she kept shouting.
Bo Tingshen stopped, staring intently at her, "Swear it!"
"I swear never to see Lu Cen again, and if I break this vow... Iâll be... Iâll be..."
Since the CEO takes this matter so seriously, she decided to swear something ruthless!
She glanced at him, her eyes full of cunning, "Iâll be punished... the CEO wonât be able to get a wife!"
"What?"
Bo Tingshen was stunned, his hand accidentally touched her sensitive waist as it moved down her shoulder, making her giggle uncontrollably.
Like he had discovered a special spot, Bo Tingshenâs hand paused and then pressed lightly again where he had just touched, and Ye Xian burst into a louder laugh, "Hahaha, CEO, stop~"
A laugh spot?
Bo Tingshen squinted his eyes, propping one hand leisurely above her head, teasing her like a pet, frequently tapping her sensitive point.
"Hahaha! It tickles, CEO, stop, donât do it anymore..."
Bo Tingshen smiled, "If I donât have a wife, do you think you can have a husband?"
"No~ I was wrong! I know Iâm wrong! You do, you have a wife! I swear! Iâll never see Lu Cen again, and if I do, let me be stuck as an eighteenth-tier celebrity, without any resources! Never rise again!"
Ye Xian was being tickled painfully, having sworn the most ruthless vows, yet the man still didnât let her off, continuing to tease her.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Ye Xian laughed while pulling on his arms in a pleading manner, "Stop it, hahaha~ CEO, good CEO, forgive me already, sob sob sob hahaha!"
"CEO~ CEO~"
"Good brother~ good brother, forgive me..."
The little womanâs hands were securely bound, her soft waist sinking into the dark brown leather sofa, highlighting her snow-white, translucent skin against the strong contrast, with rippling eyes under the curve of black lashes, her eyes brimmed with tears from laughing. A small black tear mole, normally hidden by makeup, now revealed, added an indescribable allure and captivation to her radiant face.
Bo Tingshen was entranced, even her lips, pleading for mercy, looked different to him, more like...
His long fingers lightly brushed her face, and finally stopping the ticklish punishment, Ye Xian was so angry she clenched her teeth, "CEO, youâre too much! I already swore, yet you still..."
"Ye Xian, do you know what I hate the most?"
"...most, most hate being deceived."
"Do you know what happens to people who deceive me?"
"Wh-what happens?"
"Either they lose everything, or they disappear."
Ye Xian suddenly felt a chill down her back, why was he saying this?
"But you can be an exception; remember what I said, if you ever deceive me again, how Iâll punish you?"
Ho-how to punish, didnât he already...
Ye Xian recalled, her mind flashing back to what he said to her a long time ago: Ye Xian, if you dare lie to me again, Iâll take away your purity.
"?!"
She came to her senses, seeing him fix his burning gaze on her, with increasingly heavy breaths and an attractive Adamâs apple, he looked like he was going to devour her!
So, even after explaining all day, she was still doomed, this unreliable werewolf!
"No! Iâve explained everything clearly!"
Ye Xianâs hands suddenly spread, resting on his chiseled face.
Bo Tingshen removed them, "Explaining clearly doesnât mean you can escape punishment."
"CEO, you donât keep your word! Ew, pervert!"
As she spoke, Ye Xian saw he took her hands, and then kissed the back of her hand, scaring her into twisting her body to escape, but she was tightly held down, "Xianxian."
Ye Xian was frozen at his call, her ears tingling.
Many people had called her Xianxian, her parents, her brothers... but no one had ever said it like him, with a deadly magnetism in his voice, murmuring lowly, wrapped in endless indulgence and affection, so enchanting it was almost lethal.
Bo Tingshenâs fingers stroked her cheek, gradually moving to her soft hair at the temples, all the previous dominance and coldness fading from his eyes, replaced by unparalleled gentleness, like a falling leaf disturbing a spring pool, "Thereâs still one last question you didnât answer."
"Wh-what question?"
Ye Xian was about to drown in his openly loving gaze, not just her ears, her hands, feet, insides, her whole body was tingling, she didnât feel like herself anymore.
"Do you like me? Are you willing to be with me?"
