Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702: Chapter 702: The Pursuit of the CEO

"What are you wildly speculating about? This is just a birthday gift I’m giving him. He’s helped me before, so it’s just courtesy to return the favor,"

Tsk.

Zhu Shanshan still didn’t believe it. When had this carefree guy ever been so attentive to someone, and even personally designed something?

Seeing her reaction, Ye Xian was satisfied as she put the strawberry brooch back into the box. Thinking about the pool party, she still felt a bit uneasy, so she mentioned it to Zhu Shanshan.

As soon as Zhu Shanshan heard about it, she perked up immediately.

"You must be very careful with such a big matter concerning your identity. You absolutely can’t be complacent. What if you accidentally fall into the water or get pushed in by friends while playing around? Wouldn’t you be finished?"

Ye Xian nodded, thinking there was some truth to that, so she still felt a bit apprehensive.

"So what should I do? If I just get my clothes wet, they shouldn’t be able to tell, right?"

"They’d have to be blind not to notice. You think you’re acting, with layers on top of layers? It’s a pity I’m currently out of town at a book signing and can’t attend the birthday party with you, otherwise I could protect you," Zhu Shanshan was a bit worried, then an idea struck her, the kind that a novel author would have, "I’ve got it! I have a prop that can ensure that even if you fall into water, your identity won’t be discovered, and it might even solidify your identity."

"What kind of prop is that magical?"

Ye Xian was curious. Zhu Shanshan smirked, "Wait and see, you’ll know soon."

The next day, Ye Xian received a parcel from Shanshan Late. She let out a scream when she saw the contents, dropping the package to the floor.

A male’s... fake fake fake...

Ye Xian picked up the express box and checked over a dozen times to confirm it was sent by Zhu Shanshan and not some creepy male stalker fan.

In the afternoon, Xiao Nan walked into the dressing room with stage costumes and saw Luo Yuwei sitting behind the vanity, intently folding paper cranes. There were already more than a thousand cranes in a transparent box in front of her.

Luo Yuwei had been folding paper cranes for two months now, each time doing so meticulously and seriously. Xiao Nan had thought at first that it was just her way of de-stressing, but now as the filming was coming to an end, she continued folding...

Unable to resist, Xiao Nan asked, "Sister Yuwei, why are you always folding paper cranes? You’ve folded so many already."

"Still not enough, forty more to go."

Only then would there be 1314.

"What are you folding so many for?"

"A gift, for a birthday," Luo Yuwei said, as if thinking of something, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Birthday?"

Xiao Nan thought around in a circle; no one in the cast had a birthday coming up, but from the sweet smile on her lips, it was as if she was immersed in love.

"President Bo’s birthday?"

"Mhm, mhm."

"But with President Bo’s noble status, Sister Yuwei, isn’t just giving a box of paper cranes a bit... This seems like something only kids would give."

Luo Yuwei smiled knowingly and handed her a purple paper crane. Xiao Nan took it curiously, and except for the craftsmanship being a bit more refined than the ones sold commonly, she didn’t notice anything special.

Luo Yuwei said, "Take a sniff."

Xiao Nan brought it to her nose and then detected a fragrant and elegant scent, "It smells so good, like... tea fragrance?"

"Right. I’ve asked Mother Bo, and she said the CEO doesn’t have many other hobbies, except for loving tea. The house has a collection of many sets of valuable tea sets and tea leaves. So for my thirteen colors of paper cranes, each color of paper is special, soaked in thirteen famous teas, coated on the outside, and then folded into shape."

"Wow!"

After hearing this, Xiao Nan exclaimed sincerely, "Sister Yuwei, you’ve really put so much heart into this! Just thinking about all these steps sounds so troublesome. If it were me, no matter how much I liked someone, I couldn’t do it."

Ye Xian didn’t know much about the high society young Madams and wealthy heirs, but was somewhat aware of those with high profiles, such as Miss Li of the Li Family sitting on the sofa to the east, famed for being an Imperial Capital classical beauty, irresistible to all chaps when cladded in a cheongsam. Then there was Miss Jhiang of the Jhiang Family seated to the south, not only blessed with striking looks but also running a company named after herself at a young age, with countless young hunks fawning over her, yet she remained chaste all these years without a boyfriend. And there was Miss Xue in the middle, Socialite Gao to the north...

Ye Xian looked around and saw many familiar faces from the circle, including the Four Young Leading Actresses, who had been the talk of the Fish Circle for the past two years. As a ’male’ star recently debuted, she hadn’t had a chance to interact with them, and this was her first real-world encounter. Today, adorned in dresses of all colors and styles—mermaid gowns, backless dresses, deep V-necks—they captured the eye at a glance with their varied charms.

Just as Ye Xian was about to take a closer look, Shangguan Yunli, who had been clinking glasses with others in the hall, spotted her and immediately came over. Seeing her gaze flitting among a group of beauties, he teased, "Noticed that all the beauties here today are young and pretty?"

Ye Xian nodded, "It does seem like it." Compared to the outside circle of men and male stars, there was a notably larger number of wealthy daughters and female celebrities. Having been surrounded by men since dressing in drag, she missed the company of her own gender, especially ones in pretty little dresses—it was kind of exciting.

"Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"They’re all here for Tingshen."

"?"

Ye Xian looked at him with surprise in her eyes, as Shangguan Yunli draped an arm over her shoulder, "What’s there to be surprised about? Someone like Tingshen, a top-tier eligible bachelor, has women lining up for him all the way to France, each more stunning and accomplished than the last. I’m even jealous..."

Some beauties are not just after status or wealth; they worship a man’s power and unparalleled charisma even more.

Hearing this, Ye Xian looked again at the room full of beauties and was even more stunned.

So it wasn’t that others thought the CEO had a difficult personality that kept him single—it was simply that they couldn’t catch up to him?

Tch, a top boss’s standards are indeed sky-high.

"It’s a shame though..."

Shangguan Yunli spoke, his face a picture of bewilderment as he gazed at her.

How did he overlook so many dazzling flowers and set his eyes on a patch of grass? Even though this grass is also exceedingly handsome, if the Bo Family ever found out, it would ignite a storm of scandal, and only Tingshen, utterly fearless, would dare such a thing. If it were him, he wouldn’t dare come out for all the courage in the world.
