A piece of cake was quickly devoured, with Ye Xian smiling apologetically after consuming ninety percent of it and leaving only a symbolic two bites for Bo Tingshen. "Hehe... CEO, the cake was just too delicious, I couldn't help myself~" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net Bo Tingshen reached out to wipe the remaining flecks of cream from her mouth, his fingertips gently stroking, "Little glutton, if you like, I'll have the servants make it for you every day." In the corner, Luo Yuwei sensitively raised her head. "Really? CEO, you're so kind!" Ye Xian only heard "make it for you" and nodded happily, while Bo Tingshen's fingers, tracing her mouth's corners, gradually moved towards her soft lips. Shangguan Yunli watched them canoodling in public, exchanging lovey-dovey glances, oblivious to everything around them, and couldn't help letting out a bark, "Woof!" Over the past decade or so, it was indeed his biggest misunderstanding of Tingshen. Initially, he thought he was a cold, emotionless money-making machine, much like the most advanced AI—wise, omnipotent, and sometimes, terrifyingly rational, as though he truly operated on an implanted chip like a robot devoid of human emotions, hardly resembling a man since he never swayed by even the most beautiful appearances. But since meeting Ye Xian, he realized he had been completely wrong. Bo Tingshen was too much of a man, more so than he, a notorious womanizer, could dare to compete with, displaying manliness to the fullest. He constantly watched Ye Xian like a 'husband on duty', his displeased look piercing like daggers at anyone who came within a meter of Ye Xian, regardless of gender; whoever caused Ye Xian any distress, he made sure they felt it too, even if that person was him—favored and admired by all, defending her without any reason; alone with Ye Xian, his eyes were wolf-like, almost as if he was about to pounce at any second, displaying none of his usual icy restraint and unapproachable demeanor... Ye Xian, hearing the dog bark, looked at him curiously, "Shangguan Yunli, you sound just like it, can you bark again?" Shangguan Yunli twitched his mouth, these two really playing at teasing the dog! "It's a long road ahead; let's play a game!" Cary, having finished his small cake and feeling refreshed, pulled out his phone and suggested. With two experts possibly boosting them, he couldn't miss out! Shangguan Yunli agreed instantly, "Playing games is good, I need to digest all this dog food." Cary: "Dog food? What brand of snack is that?" Shangguan Yunli: "...This guy is an idiot." "Captain, Yan Yan, are you joining us?" Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wanze stood up with his phone, his silhouette somewhat stiff, "I have a friend looking for me, I need to step out for a bit." Cary, observing his sullen expression, felt puzzled. Ever since Ye Xian appeared, the captain's mood seemed persistently down. Could there be another conflict with Ye Xian? Bo Tingshen's gaze landed on Jiang Wanze's retreating figure briefly before shifting away. "Yan Yan, how about you?" Lin Yan: "Not me, we have six people here; we can't form a team together. You five start, and if someone gets tired, they can tag me in." Cary looked up at Luo Yuwei, who, feeling noticed, slightly loosened her grip on her dress. Cary: "Little Beauty Luo, are you playing?" Ye Xian glanced at her, remembering the last time they played games in the lounge, "She can't play, remember? Lin Yan, you..." Luo Yuwei suddenly raised her voice, interrupting her, sounding like a stiff retort, causing several people to look at her with confusion. "I... I've taken some time to learn a bit, I know a little, still in Diamond Rank, can you guys carry me?" Hopes flitted across Luo Yuwei's eyes as she cautiously looked at Bo Tingshen. Seeing her looking his way, Ye Xian raised his eyebrows, "No problem, get on your account." Cary laughed, "Little Beauty Luo, just relax completely, if Ye Xian can't carry even you, I'll expose on Weibo that her world champion title was acquired through backdoor favors." Ye Xian gave him a look, "Through your backdoor, huh?" What was a simple retort, in Cary's hearing, had taken a different turn, he covered his mouth in disbelief, "Wow, Ye Xian, I thought of you as a brother, and you actually want to top me!" A tap on the forehead made Ye Xian even more baffled as she looked at the merciless hand of Bo Tingshen, "CEO, why are you hitting me?" Bo Tingshen: "Don't talk nonsense." Shangguan Yunli couldn't stop laughing on the side, his shoulders shaking, "Ye Xian, didn't know you had it in you to be a top? Too bad, you picked the wrong person, you'll never have that chance in this lifetime." Once Ye Xian understood the misunderstanding, she scoffed, these stinky boys, always thinking about who knows what murky stuff in their heads. And what's this about her not having a chance? If she were to date, she'd definitely be the dominant partner, making her partner obey every command, too scared to speak loudly! The five of them sat around the casual table and opened Honor of Kings, Cary using his Starshine account to invite Luo Yuwei, Shangguan Yunli, and Ye Xian. When Bo Tingshen logged into his account, Ye Xian saw in the friends list that long-missed pitch-black icon, with an 'S' in the bottom right corner light up, and memories unavoidably surged in her heart. Thinking back to when she was blacklisted by him, so furious she was about to explode, venting every day in the game, and the CEO, like nothing was wrong, lurking by her side day and night, using her like a tool to train her into a member of his team, and listening to her calling him "Brother Shen," praising him for being great and powerful... Although it turned out that the blacklist was a misunderstanding, looking back on it now, she was way too embarrassed; indifferent to him in real life, she was completely deferential to him in the game. Ye Xian pulled Bo Tingshen into the game, and gave him a glare along the way, discontentedly saying, "Hmph!" What a pretender! He played the role for a month; if she hadn't found out herself, who knows how long he could have deceived her. The little woman's discontented snort, in the man's ears, was like a tender and soft complaint. Bo Tingshen: "Don't want to play the game?" Ye Xian: "?" When did she not want to play the game? "Play something else?" Ye Xian: "?" What is he talking about? "Hey, ever since someone moved by worldly desires, they haven't played a game with me for long, I don't even know what to play anymore." Shangguan Yunli agonized over the hero pool for a while, unsure of what to choose, and glanced at Bo Tingshen with some implication. Bo Tingshen: "You should say what you can play." Shangguan Yunli gritted his teeth, "That's crossing the line! Of course, I can play them all, I've even reached King with seven stars." "Along with Yang Baimu?" Hearing this, Ye Xian looked up in surprise at him, "Yang Baimu carried you to seven stars?"
