Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Beat you so hard you'll call me daddy

The speech concluded, and Old Master Bo mingled for a while; the banquet was nearly at its end.

"Hey! Ye's followers, are you a pig? Get up!"

A forceful pat on the shoulder woke Ye Xian, whose first reaction was to check if there was drool at the corner of her mouth, "Is it over? Can we go back now?"

"Go back where? Have you even eaten? For the sake of the team captain, Chairman Bao invited us to join the family banquet, let's go!"

Cary forcefully pulled her up, and Lin Yan handed her a tissue, "Wipe it off."

There really was drool.

However, Cary wouldn't have mentioned it, but now that he did, she felt her stomach grumbling loudly.

"You really are bold, sleeping while the CEO was giving a speech, and you were in the front row too."

"What's the problem?"

His speech had nothing to do with her sleeping. It wasn't meant for her ears anyway.

"That's true, since besides the team captain, Ye's followers fear no one, there'll come a time when you're intimidated by the CEO."

Ye Xian rolled her eyes, "Warn you, call me a tag-along again and see!"

"I will call, what about it? Ye's followers, Ye's followers~"

Cary, shamelessly making faces, provoked Ye Xian to throw punches and kicks, "Believe it or not, I'll beat you into calling me 'daddy'!"

"I really don't believe it, you have such little strength, it's like tickling, are you even a woman?"

"I think your skin is just too thick!"

"Cough, cough~"

Lin Yan coughed lightly to remind them.

Under the dazzling, luxurious chandelier, an ornately carved European banquet table was set up, with Old Master Bo, the birthday boy, seated at the head of the table, flanked by his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and close by, Tingshen. A bit farther down were Wanze and numerous relatives and friends, all of whom were watching Cary and her antics. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Yet Wanze's seat was clearly on the same level as those of the in-laws.

Ye Xian popped a quail egg into her mouth, her gaze shifting between Old Master Bo and Wanze in confusion when out of the corner of her eye, she caught Tingshen's sweeping glance and frightened, she swallowed the quail egg whole.

If it had gone down smoothly it would have been fine, but her throat was too narrow and the egg got stuck halfway, causing her to panic. She grabbed a glass of red wine from in front of her and downed it in one go.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

The red wine was bitter, and after a cup, Ye Xian's face turned red from coughing.

When she looked up again with teary eyes, she noticed that everyone at the table, except for Tingshen, was looking at her.

Cary, delighting in her misfortune, waited to see her embarrassed.

Cheng Jingshu, sitting next to her, struggled to suppress her disgust and silently moved a bit to the side, looking like a starved ghost reborn, with absolutely no manners.
