Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 775

Chapter 775: Chapter 776: The Gate is Cold and Deep, Visitors Must Be Sincere

Cary: "Don’t bother asking him anymore, he surely doesn’t know. Even us, graduates from top-tier universities, and a talented lady like Miss Luo haven’t figured it out, how could he?"

"Heh~" Ye Xian laughed, "I wonder which genius student was on his knees during the Top Flow Competition, crying and clinging to my thighs begging me to save him."

"..." Cary, "I was helping you out, and you turn around and throw me under the bus! Could it be that you really know? If you’re so capable, say it then!"

Ye Xian arched an eyebrow, coincidentally, she... did indeed know. Since everyone else’s answers were wrong, that left only the one answer.

Everyone looked at her with curiosity as she leisurely said, "The name Tingshen probably comes from the phrase—’a chilly and deep threshold, only the sincere may enter,’ meaning: ’My heart is cold and deep, anyone who wishes to enter must be sincere.’"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yunli looked at her in shock.

How could he have known?!

Bo Tingshen’s expression also became fixed. At first, he was just curious to hear his interpretation of his name, but he never expected it to be perfectly articulated.

"CEO, is that right?"

Ye Xian looked up to ask Bo Tingshen and saw the man’s narrow and deep eyes, dark as ink, seemingly misted with a layer of emotion so thick it couldn’t be dissolved.

He just gazed at her unwaveringly, the intensity of his light almost too much for her to bear.

"So, Ye Xian, are you sincere?"

"Ah... Ah~"

Ye Xian looked up at him, and at his question, inexplicably, her head started spinning and her thoughts began to scatter, needing a great effort to pull together.

Seeing her suddenly shake her head, Shangguan Yunli grew curious.

This symptom... was the alcohol starting to take effect?

It was such a simple question that under normal circumstances, she’d have brushed it off casually, but for some reason now, all sorts of messy thoughts and worries crowded to the forefront of her mind.

Was she sincere?

A regular question seemed to turn into an interrogation.

No, she wasn’t sincere at all.

She was the youngest daughter of the Ye Family, and a sibling to Ye Shaowen; although she was a member of FOR, she had sneaked in dressed in drag; she had always been waiting for her contract with Star Entertainment to end to leave, yet she lied to him saying she would renew it...

In every aspect, she wasn’t honest with him.

A CEO who detested being deceived, if he knew she had been lying to him like this, he would probably dislike her immensely, not wanting to see her ever again, or maybe even crush her with his foot.

She mustn’t say it, she mustn’t tell him...

Weird, why was she thinking so much? Why did her head feel increasingly dizzy? Even her mouth was dry, and her throat felt as though it was on fire.

Ye Xian felt terribly uncomfortable, grabbed a glass of cold water from the table, drank it down, and finally splashed the remaining cool water on her face. As she watched the man’s clear and peerless features become gradually more focused before her eyes, she sobered up a fair bit.

"Sincere, of course I am! As your little follower, Mr. CEO, I’m absolutely sincere!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"No way?"

Cary saw Bo Tingshen’s expression, "Did Ye Xian actually guess it right?"

Shangguan Yunli nodded. She had guessed it right, word for word, even while intoxicated.

He now looked at Ye Xian with newfound respect. If this insight was not something Tingshen had shared with her, and combined with her previous performances in the Top Flow Competition and just now, seeing through Tingshen’s shuffling routine, this kid really was incredibly smart and unfathomable.

No wonder...

He had thought, the person Tingshen liked, how could it be just anyone.

Bo Tingshen looked down, his deep gaze wavering because of her charming drunken appearance.

Shangguan Yunli felt the atmosphere between them was so charged it was about to explode, feeling a bit like the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor. Could you two please go to bed already? Stop slaying me here!

"What’s it going to be, are we calling it a night, or do we continue?"

"Of course we continue!"

Ye Xian shrugged off Bo Tingshen’s hand, standing up angrily, pointing at them and speaking sternly, "Today, if the CEO doesn’t lose, none of you are allowed to leave. Whoever does, may they end up as ugly as Cary!"

Damn!

Cary was about to spew in frustration!

"Ye Xian, you’ve got guts!"

"Lin Yan, here’s your card~"

The next second, she cheerfully dealt the cards to Cary.

Cary: "..." Betraying teammates happens today.

Lin Yan: "..." Do I look as ugly as Cary?

When Shangguan Yunli took his cards, he asked her askance and somewhat fearfully, "Do you know who I am?"

"Of course, Assistant Pang, thanks to you I got to know so many of the CEO’s little secrets, how could I not recognize you?"

Pang Kai standing nearby: "!!!" It’s not me, I didn’t! Ye Xian, what nonsense are you spouting? Stop talking!

The ’Take Down Ye Xian’ group suddenly gained two more members.
