Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816: Chapter 817: Like a Betrothal Gift

Bo Tingshen slowly unfolded the paper in his hand.

Ye Xian froze when she saw the crisscrossing, densely packed lines and data on it.

Is this an architectural floor plan?

Looking at the complex lines and data on it, it’s not an ordinary building, but more like... a villa or a castle?

"CEO, why are you showing me this?"

"See if there’s anything you don’t like or anywhere that needs changes."

"?" Ye Xian looked at him strangely, "I haven’t studied architectural design. How would I understand this?"

Bo Tingshen: "Wherever you don’t understand, you can ask me."

"Wait..." Ye Xian interrupted him, "Shouldn’t you be asking an architect about this? Why ask me?"

Bo Tingshen looked down at her, "Because this is the house I’m giving you."

"What?! Giving me a house?"

Ye Xian was so shocked she stuttered.

Isn’t he joking? Though she couldn’t understand architectural drawings, she could understand the data. This villa is bigger than the entire Ye Family mansion! And it’s located in the most prosperous and expensive area of the Imperial Capital. Even with a rough estimate, it must be worth billions, right?

Giving it to her? He’s crazy!

"CEO, are you joking with me?"

Bo Tingshen: "Do I look like I’m joking?"

Ye Xian: "..." Not really, but how is this possible?

"Or do you think I came all the way from the Imperial Capital just to punish you?"

Ye Xian: ... Isn’t that so?

"But CEO, why are you giving me a house? And such a big and expensive one?"

"It’s not that expensive, there are discounts under the Shangguan’s Real Estate Group."

It’s not about discounts, the problem is...

"CEO, why are you suddenly giving me a house? Don’t tell me there’s some conspiracy?"

Ye Xian looked at him defensively.

Bo Tingshen saw her guarded look, like a startled little white rabbit ready to flee at the slightest sign, his lips pressed tight.

There is.

A plot for you.

"This isn’t an ordinary house. It has four layers of security systems inside and out, including two 24-hour manned security guards. Not even a fly can get in if you don’t want it to. Since there was an incident at Jiuxi Eighteen Islands last time and you’re afraid to live there, you can live here."

"This year, your shares in Star Entertainment have risen sharply, and the boss is rewarding you with a house. What’s wrong with that?"

So, it’s for her safety, but...

"This house is too precious, I can’t accept it, and I’m living quite well at the Ye Family house."

"Quite well?" Bo Tingshen’s brow twitched slightly, "Living quite well with Ye Shaowen, right?"

"?"

Ye Xian caught the displeasure in his tone, "Not at all, CEO, why are you bringing this up again? Didn’t I already explain this clearly to you? Although I live in the Ye Family house, I’m not living with Ye Shaowen, we seldom meet even!"

"No way."

Bo Tingshen completely ignored her explanation, "Do you remember the agreement you made with me just now?"

Ye Xian: "... Yes, I remember."

"That agreement is that you must move in here."

Ye Xian: "..." He’s really digging a hole for her.

"I refuse!" Ye Xian said firmly, "I can’t accept such a big house from you for no reason, without earning it."

Adding up, a villa spanning several thousand square feet, even a wealthy man’s courtship gift couldn’t be this extravagant.

"You want a reason, right?"

Bo Tingshen pinched her chin, his deep, dark eyes penetrating into her beautiful amber eyes.

Ye Xian: "... Hmm."

Why does his gaze give her such a dangerous feeling?

"You’re currently the most commercially valuable male star in the entertainment industry, you’d only need half a year to earn back this house. Is that enough?"

When Ye Xian heard this reason, all the words of resistance stuck in her throat.

So that’s the reason, he wants to keep her... But he still doesn’t know that her second brother’s termination contract is already drafted.

Bo Tingshen watched her eyelashes gradually droop, and as she accepted, her complexion gradually became calmer. "Don’t be afraid of loneliness, Snowball will also move in then."

"Oh."

"There are also other surprises that will move in."

Bo Tingshen deliberately emphasized lightly on this sentence, then began to introduce her to the location and layout of the house.

Ye Xian wasn’t in the mood to listen to what he was saying anymore, feeling only a chaotic mess in her heart, tangled and unresolvable.

Clearly, she used to be very happy when thinking about terminating the contract with Star Entertainment, but now... the CEO is so good to her, gifting her bracelets and houses, and delivering the topmost resources right in front of her, how could she possibly bear to leave?

But if she doesn’t leave, her second brother won’t back down.

She already agreed.

Ye Xian was extremely conflicted, subconsciously avoiding looking at the man’s wristwatch, "CEO, the one-hour free rest time given by the program group is almost up, I have to go back to recording."

Bo Tingshen slightly raised his head and bit her ear with his dry lips, Ye Xian immediately froze like a little beast with a knife to its neck, not daring to move, "So so so what?"

"So you have to take responsibility."

"?!" How am I supposed to be responsible!

"Help me."

The man’s breaths were getting heavier and heavier, to the point of being intimidating.

Ye Xian was so scared her voice was trembling, "N-no way!"

"Even if no, you must."

Bo Tingshen firmly took her hand, Ye Xian screamed ’ah’, hurriedly raised the scarf around her neck, and tumbled and scrambled outward.

Bo Tingshen saw her fleeing figure, his eyes black as ink with hints of red, where are you running to?

Footsteps came from behind, Ye Xian screamed in panic, scaring even the source of the sound several meters away into silence.

"Mr. CEO, let me go, I’m a man!"

"A man can too."

"A man can’t!!!"

"Help, save me!"

Outside the February Flower Maple Forest, Pang Kai was listening to music when he suddenly heard a cry for help. Puzzled, he pulled out his earphones, listened, but heard nothing.

On the "Top Flow Competition" show, after the segment where six brothers showered together aired, the director frequently glanced at his watch, wondering why Ye Xian hadn’t arrived yet.

Missing the shower segment caused real-time viewership to drop significantly!

The upcoming section was crucial for the eliminated guest of this episode. If he missed it, it’d be like being automatically ousted? He couldn’t be ousted, Skyline has already listed him as a key focus, and the future ratings depend on him.

"Why isn’t Ye Xian back yet? If he doesn’t return, the director might make us shower again, and my skin is already going to peel!"

Cary complained.

Jiang Wanze put on his clothes, "He may not be back for a while."

The elder brother personally drove to Quan City to find him, definitely something important is going on.

Lin Yan: "But ’Top Flow’ is very important to Ye Xian, he will definitely come back." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Cary: "That’s not necessarily true, maybe he’s busy trying to please the CEO and can’t extricate himself, diligently helping the CEO now!"

Otherwise, the CEO wouldn’t favor him so much, even hitting others for him! Cary felt aggrieved just thinking about it, like a little wife.

"Hey, what’s the relationship between your CEO and Ye Xian? Why do they seem so close?"

Liang Liang wanted to gossip when suddenly a figure appeared at the door of the room.

The director saw Ye Xian and breathed a sigh of relief, "Ye Xian, you’re back?"
