Chapter 705: Chapter 705

The distinguished CEO of the Bo Group actually descended from the stage himself at a high-society banquet, all for a small starlet who had fallen.

Seeing the situation, there was a moment of sighing and incessant discussion among the crowd.

"What's the relationship between President Bo and Luo Yuwei? Seeing her fall, he looked so anxious and even came down to help her up?"

"Luo Yuwei was nothing more than an unknown nobody before, and then all of a sudden she's playing the female lead in such a big IP from Star Entertainment, and there isn't even a speck of negative news about her online. What do you think the relationship is?"

"Could she really be a canary kept by President Bo? My God, that would be too lucky!"

"I always say, what man is truly indifferent to women? It's just about not being pretty enough. Luo Yuwei is so beautiful, I would be willing to keep her too."

"She's just a vase, why does she get President Bo's favor!"

"What exactly did that seductress do?!"

The men present looked on with interest at this scene, and the heiresses and famous stars who had been associated with Bo Tingshen were burning with jealousy, especially the Four Young Leading Actresses who were grinding their teeth in envy.

Luo Yuwei, lying on the ground like a modern-day Cinderella, looked up at the man with tears brimming in her eyes. When his shiny new black leather shoes reflected the lights from above and he came close, she slowly lifted her hand. Her face flushed and heart pounding to its limits, she had never felt such joy and excitement.

Just when the woman's hand was a hair's breadth away from the man's trouser leg, unexpectedly, Bo Tingshen walked straight past her, as if he saw nothing at all.

The crowd at the banquet, who had been waiting for him to gracefully help Luo Yuwei up, "?"

Ye Xian, who had been glaring at them, "?"

Instead of seeing a prince saving a distressed princess, they saw… the prince turn into the devil, his gaze sharp and displeased as he walked straight towards her.

Ye Xian looked around; he couldn't be coming for her, could he?

Just as she was about to get up, the man reached her side and bent down, bracing a hand beside her, trapping her firmly in her seat.

Almost smashing her face into his crisp new suit and inhaling a strong scent of agarwood, Ye Xian plopped back onto the seat, her face full of confusion as she looked up at the incredibly handsome man before her.

Jiang Wanze, who had been chatting with a neighboring male star, followed the direction of everyone's gazes and caught sight of this scene.

Shock was evident in Lin Yan's eyes from the next seat.

It took the banquet guests a good ten seconds to come to their senses... so President Bo had come down not to help Luo Yuwei, but to find Ye Xian?

Amidst the scattered foldings of paper cranes, Luo Yuwei, lying on the ground, felt the man's figure brush past her like the wind, sparing her not even a single glance. Her heart stopped for an instant and her raised hand hung awkwardly in midair.

As she followed his form with her eyes and saw him stop in front of Ye Xian and lean down affectionately, her face instantly changed color.

Le Hui covered her mouth and giggled, "The sauciness practically spills out, yet to his dismay, he never even gave her a glance!"

"I said it before, a man as distinguished as President Bo, how could he just fancy any wildflower by the roadside?"

"In our circle, there will always be those who don't know their own worth, relying on a bit of beauty as if a chicken could turn into a phoenix and climb high branches; they're just a joke to watch~"

"Isn't she acting like a joke now?"

The sound of ridicule coming from all around was piercingly sharp; Luo Yuwei's face turned pale as she lowered her head to pick up the paper cranes, her trembling back looking as if it bore the weight of humiliation.

Ye Xian blinked, her face filled with confusion as she looked up at the man leaning towards her, his lean eyes dark and fathomless like a pool, her body shrinking back into the seat, "CEO, what are you doing?"

"Thinking of leaving?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bo Tingshen lowered his voice and emotions, but Ye Xian still sensed the threat and displeasure in his eyes.

What does "thinking of leaving" mean?

She didn't know what he was talking about, but in his eyes, it seemed as though she was playing dumb.

"Are you in a hurry for your schedule?"

Bo Tingshen had a jawline as hard as iron, and as he spoke, he moved a few steps closer to her, the distance... a bit too much.

Lin Yan saw the raw anger and unabashed possessiveness in the man's eyes, and it felt like something exploded in his mind.

He thought of the first time Ye Xian was eliminated in the audition but had been handpicked by an official V, remembered how President Bo had managed to win over his grandfather whom no one else could, and recalled the various scenes where Ye Xian called President Bo during the Top Flow Competition.

It turned out there were tempestuous undercurrents in corners he hadn't seen, which had long since come to fruition.

The schedule... was indeed a bit tight, Conquest of the World was in production, and just yesterday Jiang Wen had called him, mentioning a huge opportunity he wanted to secure for her, asking her to drop by the company when she was free.

"Do you want me to send a car for you?"

Bo Tingshen saw her seriously considering and his tone grew even colder. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net

Changing seats on her own, falling asleep impatiently, frequently checking her watch, even trying to escape amidst the confusion, avoiding him so much that she was willing to forgo her most beloved resources—he sure was becoming more capable by the day.

"That won't be necessary, I have a nanny car... ah..."

Ye Xian hadn't finished speaking when she felt her arm being pinched.

She looked incredulously at the man who was "torturing" her in public—it was too presumptuous, too much! Was he really bullying her in front of so many people?

"Stay put, dare to take one step and see what happens."

The look Bo Tingshen shot her was ominously intrusive, as if violating.

At the entrance to the lobby, Shangguan Yunli, who had just arranged the matters for the swimming pool and rushed over, saw from a distance the scene that was drawing everyone's attention.

Bo Tingshen leaning over someone... can those be Ye Xian's shoes that are showing?

How did Ye Xian end up sitting there?

No, the point was, Tingshen was actually publicly 'chair-donging' Ye Xian?! He couldn't resist even in front of so many people?

Tsk, it was like an old house on fire, burning more and more vigorously, unstoppable.

Even he, as the matchmaker, felt an inexplicable sense of achievement!

Shangguan Yunli suddenly began clapping, attracting everyone's attention, "Hello, everyone, today is the birthday banquet for my best friend, and I have prepared a swimming pool party surprise for you all. The pool is divided into Areas A and B, and if everyone has rested up, you can head over there now!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd got up and walked towards the swimming pool in groups. The so-called A and B areas actually meant male and female areas. It's normal for swimming pools not to be gender-segregated, but given that today's attendees were either of noble status or public figures, there were inconveniences, so the swimming pools were separated by gender.

There was another reason, too: without male and female areas, a pack of fierce women would swarm around Tingshen, and how would he then toy with Ye Xian and Tingshen?

Shangguan Yun couldn't help but gloat at the thought of that scene.

Ye Xian listened to Bo Tingshen's intimidating words, "..." Was this the reason Shangguan Yunli said she had to be here? If she left early, would the CEO feel like he lost face?

Hmph, he actually needed her support to save face? No need for that—laughable, men.
