Chapter 895: Chapter 895
Ye Xian unconsciously lowered her head, as if trying to conceal some expression. The brilliance in her eyes faded, and the smile on her face disappeared, even the overly sweet strawberry sandwich cookie that Zhou Lu had just given her somehow lost all its taste.
Childhood sweetheart?
She was actually unaware that he still had a childhood sweetheart. She had always thought he was aloof and indifferent, not close to women. It was only today that she realized he could smile so happily at someone, every move he made could be so considerate.
Pulled the chair, booked the place, afraid she'd feel lonely, so accompanied her to the competition...
She remembered he had seemed to rebuke her before for always sleeping in, not being temperate as an actor, and being as delicate as a woman... It turned out that his so-called aloofness and harshness was just his way of dealing with outsiders, and his indifference to women was only because the person he was waiting for hadn't returned yet.
Her foot stepped back out of the restaurant.
Pang Kai saw she wasn't storming in furiously like he imagined to assert her territory, instead, her aura became increasingly peculiar, and he panicked a bit, "Ye Xian, why don't you take this opportunity to say something to the CEO, he..."
"No need, I was just passing by."
Ye Xian turned around, Pang Kai was astonished with his mouth agape, "This…" This wasn't what he imagined, or how the CEO and Young Master Shangguan predicted it!
The figure of the small woman who had been in the corner of his eye vanished, and Bo Tingshen's smile instantly faded, as he rose to give chase.
Jian Simeng was still basking in his sudden enthusiasm, only to be startled by his abruptly altered expression and departing figure.
Ye Xian didn't know how she got back to the elevator, only felt as if her heart had been punched heavily, stifling and sour.
Since he already had a childhood sweetheart, someone he liked so much, then why did he risk himself repeatedly for her, why did he confess so deeply and movingly?
Just last night he was able to talk to her on the phone all night, and the next day he could nonchalantly arrange a date with another girl?
What did he take her as?
A plaything for when he's bored?
That was quite an elaborate game to play.
Big brother, second brother were indeed right, she truly didn't understand his character at all, his methods were advanced, his motives unpredictable, making her completely oblivious, never suspecting he was merely toying with her.
When the elevator opened, Zhou Lu turned her face curiously, "Brother Ye, why are you back so soon..."
She was midway through speaking, seeing the youth looking forlorn and clearly out of sorts, she stood up in fright.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
"Ye Xian senior! Ye Xian senior!"
On the set of an advertisement shoot, a boy with delicate features who was getting his makeup done, seeing Ye Xian through the crowd, excitedly stood up, eyes shining, and ran toward her holding paper and pen, "Ye Xian senior, sorry sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm Liao Ran, an artist from Jiamei Legend, partnering with you in today's ad, it took forever to get here due to traffic! I ran all the way after getting off the car, didn't expect to be late still, so sorry to keep you waiting, I hope you forgive me! How could I, a newbie artist, pull any diva act in front of you."
"Oh right, I'm your little fanboy, been a fan since you competed at the Honor of Kings World Championship, may I have your autograph?"
Liao Ran finally seeing the idol God Ye in real life, was too excited to notice her current state.
He spoke so loudly, so excitedly, yet Ye Xian didn't hear a word, only catching the deep, rich magnetic voice of the man behind, "Ye Xian."
Ye Xian slightly lifted her head, looked at Liao Ran beside her, "What did you say?"
"I said I'm your little fanboy, God Ye, may I have your autograph?"
"Of course, you can."
Ye Xian's lips curled into a smile, taking the paper and pen from him.
"That's awesome! God Ye, you're really nice in person!"
Liao Ran was overly excited, clenching his fists, noticed her hair was a bit messy from the dash, reaching to fix it, but in the next second his wrist was gripped by a strong large hand, the pain as if it would crush him, "Ah ah ah ah it hurts it hurts!"
The pain nearly blacked him out, not even a chance to see who grabbed him, "Help! Help!"
Liao Ran's scream drew the attention of everyone on set, yet no one dared to move upon seeing it, as Zhou Lu watched the man's expression with shock.
Why did Brother Ye and the CEO both look so terrible, though different, Brother Ye seemed wretchedly sorrowful while the CEO was furiously jealous.
Everyone held their breath watching the scene, only Ye Xian remained quietly signing the autograph.
Bo Tingshen flung Liao Ran away; Liao Ran cradled his intensely painful wrist, too frightened by the man's ominous chilly gaze to utter a word, retreating repeatedly in terror.
Who was this man? How could his aura be so terrifyingly overwhelming?
Ye Xian paused her writing, clicked the pen closed, turned her face with a radiant smile at him, "President Bo, why did you come here?"
Upon hearing her address, the man's expression trembled, his pitch-black pupils slowly constricting into tiny, dark points.
Did she talk it over with her family during the trip home, deciding to cut him off completely?
"Is there nothing you want to say to me?"
"Say?" Ye Xian looked puzzled, raising a brow as if recalling something, she came to her senses, "Oh~ you mean about me stopping by the downstairs restaurant earlier? Indeed, there is something to clarify with you, but Assistant Pang said you were on a date, I didn't want to disturb your enjoyment, and it's not something important anyway..."
Before Ye Xian finished, Zhou Lu heard a sinister creaking sound, and saw President Bo's hand clenched tight, his knuckles gleaming white, taut as if they could burst through the skin any moment, even the veins popped up prominently.
Pang Kai hurriedly arrived, catching sight of this scene as well.
Disturb the enjoyment?
Not something important.
Her meaning was expressed with utmost clarity.
Bo Tingshen's gaze locked firmly onto her, a shadow seemed to drape over his eyes, countless dense tendrils unfurling from the dark abyss, ensnaring and encompassing the woman before him.
The entire tenth floor felt as if plunged into an icy cavern, Zhou Lu watching President Bo's stare, as if witnessing a patient with a mental illness, chilling enough to freeze one's spine.
Yet the little woman before him wore a sweet smile, her eyes as clear as moonlight, lashes curving, the corners of her mouth so perfect it would dazzle anyone on a big screen.
So utterly incensed, the man's lips also curved slightly, "Fine, I just came to tell you, that I am going abroad, anything to discuss we'll talk when I return in a few days."
He turned to leave, Ye Xian nodded in response, "No worries, President Bo, safe travels, don't worry about me, I'll send you a message when it's all clear."
At her words, the man's figure abruptly stiffened. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fire.net
Pang Kai witnessed Bo Tingshen's expression, nearly dropping to his knees imploring Ye Xian to stop speaking.
"Ye, Ye Ye brother..."
After Bo Tingshen left, Zhou Lu, so frightened her legs were numb, slowly approached, "Wh-what happened to them?"
She had just seen both the CEO and Brother Ye smiling, yet their eyes were scarier than murder.
As the man's figure disappeared, so did the smile tugging at Ye Xian's lips, but when she turned to see a roomful of people, it reappeared again.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and shoot the ad!"
"Alright, alright..."
The ad shoot resumed its bustle, but when filming began, Ye Xian continuously botched take after take. Even though her face maintained a smile, her eyes were evidently soulless, causing Zhou Lu to call it off.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye take a break, let's stop shooting today, can we?"
"It's fine." Ye Xian gave the director a bow, "Sorry, I lost my focus, let's try again."
Suddenly the phone rang, Zhou Lu was just about to hang up when she saw it was Pang Kai calling, one hand pulling Ye Xian, the other pressing the speaker button, hearing Pang Kai's tremblingly tearful voice from the other end, "Xiao Lu, tell Ye Xian, the CEO had a car accident on the Capital Suburb section, 103 Huannan Avenue, the whole car was on fire..."
