"Isnât it?"
Bo Tingshen stared intently at Ye Xian, who quietly turned her face away, sipping her tea from the heart, "..."
Everything can be compromised, but not this. She was only eighteen this year. Dating was considered early, marriage clashed with her career, and it was too soon.
However, the CEO might just be using this as a cover, mainly to counter the fourth point from her second brother, perhaps... wanting to get closer to her?!
Ye Xian suddenly coughed from the tea.
This man, with his mind full of improper junk, couldnât hold back even in front of her second brother?
"Temporarily, not yet."
She bowed her head and replied softly, not expecting the man to press, "Not yet? Then who agreed that after winning the match, weâd go home to meet the parents?"
"Meeting the parents was just..."
"Alright." Ye Shaowen interrupted their conversation, "Bo Tingshen, youâre merely dating Xiao Yezi now, donât go too far. Whether youâll be together in the future is another matter. If you truly like her, you should know your limits and how not to hurt her, right?"
Bo Tingshenâs eyes lightly drooped, the knife-like arc slightly.
If she isnât with him, thatâs when heâd hurt her.
"Alright."
"You agreed? Then, Xiao Yezi, in the future, except for necessary filming, you must be home by ten oâclock at night! If youâre not home, video call me and report your location, got it?"
Ye Xian: "Un... understood."
The CEO actually agreed?
But looking at his expression... thin eyelids veiled the underlying light, making it unfathomable what he was truly thinking or his real attitude.
"Thatâs good!"
After laying down the four rules, Ye Shaowen felt slightly relieved, his heart cleared up considerably.
Heâd spoken the ugly truth upfront and recorded it all. When the time comes for Xiao Yezi to break up with him, it could save a lot of trouble.
Ye Shaowen picked up the phone on the stone table, looking solemnly across.
"Bo Tingshen, you promised those four points personally today. Donât think nodding and saying a word will suffice. If you canât accomplish or violate any of them, then youâll kneel and apologize in front of me, admitting youâre a jerk, and Iâll record it, post it online for everyone to see your true face!"
"Hey, second brother, thatâs a bit much!"
Ye Xian couldnât hold it, making the CEO kneel and apologize, what a joke!
"Whatâs wrong, Xiao Yezi, are you assuming he canât do even these few things?"
"Uh... thatâs not what I meant."
"Then itâs settled. Iâve already compromised. If he canât even meet these few points, why should I trust him with my sister?"
Ye Shaowen leaned on the stone table, staring aggressively at Bo Tingshen, the man raised his eyes to meet his fierce gaze, a mysterious smile flickered, "Alright, I promise you."
Without even thinking, he promised?
For a businessman, reputation is crucial. If he violates any of them and Ye records and exposes it, heâd be ruined. He wouldnât wager the entire Bo Group against him, right?
Ye Shaowen paused, "Alright."
Ye Xian: "CEO, how can you agree to such unreasonable demands?!"
"As long as it makes you happy, no request is excessive."
Ye Shaowen immediately hit the pause button, not letting such heartfelt words fall into the recording.
Ye Xian noticed him pressing his phone, instinctively asking, "Huh? Second brother, didnât you say it was a five-page agreement? Why only four?"
She spoke, immediately hitting her own mouth.
Isnât this self-inflicted, seeking another burden when the first four were already enough!
"Because..." Ye Shaowen recalled the fifth point, his face showing a bit of embarrassment, "The fifth point is unwritten, I didnât record it."
Mainly because he sensed the fifth point might be rejected.
Ye Xian: "Then donât say it!"
"I have to say it, the fifth point is my personal request: If, Iâm saying if you ever truly get married someday, can I accompany the dowry... no, can I come live with you?"
As soon as he said this, Bo Tingshenâs eyes squinted, intensely staring at him, the danger and murderous aura clearly evident.
The answer needed no explanations.
Ye Xian: "Eh?!"
Ye Shaowen saw their reaction, "...You might have misunderstood, what I mean is I enjoy lively company, and Iâve always been used to taking care of Xiao Yezi since childhood. If she suddenly marries out of the house and I canât see her, I might get depressed. Moving in wouldnât disturb you, and I could even make you breakfast..."
"Donât even think about it!"
Ye Xian snarled like a ferocious dog, angrily baring her teeth at him.
Usually, brothers feel relieved once sisters marry, but he actually wants to tag along as a dowry! Clearly wanting to continue controlling her, and heâs speaking such noble excuses, even depressionâshe thinks heâd look depressed to anyone, not him!
"Hey hey hey~"
"Consider it! Donât be physical, youâve been raised by me all your life, youâll endure it once married! And who said theyâd grow old with their brother? So quickly, youâve forgotten, you ungrateful little brat!"
"What is gratitude, can it be eaten?"
"Shaowen!"
From afar, Xia Hewan saw Ye Xian and Ye Shaowen fooling around at the Observation Platform, helplessly shaking her head, Shaowen this kid was too clueless.
Time for Tingshen and Xianxian alone, why does he always stir things up? Once Xianxian marries, will he visit the house often?
Shanshan is excellent, not knowing how to cherish the one in front of him.
"Hurry over!"
Zhu Shanshan happily clutched Xia Hewanâs arm, as if sheâd found her reliance and gateway.
Indeed, pleasing the future mother-in-law gives one proximity and early advantage!
"Momâs calling you, hurry up!"
Ye Xian kicked him away, Ye Shaowen unsatisfiedly patted his butt, saying, "Consider it more thoroughly! There are certainly benefits if I come over! If you donât agree, Iâll visit you every few days!"
"You dare!"
Ye Xian clenched her fists behind his back, and as he walked away, she suddenly sensed a penetrating gaze on her back, making it itch a bit.
"Heh heh..."
She chuckled dryly, turning to see the manâs eyes harboring unreleased anger, "CEO... well, second brother was joking, heâs always been unpredictable in his words, donât take it seriously! And donât get mad!"
After speaking, the manâs gloomy look hadnât faded, Ye Xian couldnât help feeling unsettled. Could it be because she said she wouldnât marry him?
"I..."
Ye Xian twisted her fingers, hesitating, "Isnât discussing marriage at eighteen too early?"
