Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854: Chapter 855: CEO’s Confession

Ye Xian’s gaze trembled slightly as she looked at the furious man in front of her. Finally, from his tightly furrowed brows and the darkness in his eyes, she could see... Was he angry because he was worried about her?

"CEO, it’s not that I’m not afraid of dying. It’s just that they called me, warning me not to call the police, or else they’d push Xiao Lu off the cliff. I don’t know what kind of people they are; what if they are really desperados..."

"Zhou Lu, Luo Yuwei, and even a strange little boy—everyone you worry about, everyone is worth risking your life over. But what about me? Have you ever thought about me? If you die, what am I supposed to do!"

The man’s furious, low roar echoed back and forth in the empty mountains like a loud, resounding bell, leaving Ye Xian shaken to the core.

She gazed at him indescribably.

Him?

Think of him... what?

"How many times? Ye Xian, how many times have I warned you? You’ve never taken my words to heart."

Watching his disappointed gaze, a surge of inexplicable panic rose in her, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, it’s not like that. I did take it to heart. Before I came, I thought about you..."

Bo Tingshen suddenly released her and restarted the sports car, attempting to weave through the narrow side where rocks had fallen. "Since you like racing so much, I’ll grant your wish."

Ye Xian looked at the terrible road conditions ahead with jagged rocks and the bottomless abyss beneath the track. Her eyes flickered as she quickly grabbed his hand, "CEO, no, please don’t!"

Only those who have raced before understand how dangerous such a road is, with almost a hundred percent fatality rate.

Bo Tingshen shook off her hand, "Don’t want to? Aren’t you the one who likes seeking death? Why back down now? Are you afraid too?"

Thrown aside by him, Ye Xian felt a sudden surge of grievance amidst her shock and fear, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Why is he treating her so harshly, punishing her like this? She wasn’t deliberately seeking death. Xiao Lu was kidnapped because of her; what could she do? Coming here alone and seeing such a dangerous track made her really scared...

The young man’s hand withdrew, his head slightly lowered. His shoulder blades under the colorful fireworks jacket and his long, thick eyelashes trembled gently, as if he had suffered a huge grievance.

Watching her, the overwhelming anger surging through Bo Tingshen’s veins slowly subsided.

He was truly frightened just now.

He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Feeling the man lift her arm, Ye Xian, angry, tried to pull away but couldn’t, as he forced the jacket onto her.

Unable to resist him anyway, she didn’t move, letting him dress her. The faint scent of agarwood and the warmth of his body seeped through the clothes, melting the grievance in her heart, which gradually dissipated. After scolding her, he gave her a candy again.

When Bo Tingshen fastened the last button from bottom to top, he sighed slightly at her chin, which was now like a small walnut, "Ye Xian, don’t frighten me anymore."

Ye Xian’s recently subsided grievance and anger surged again because of this sentence.

She hung her head and murmured softly, "I wasn’t trying to scare you on purpose. Besides, I’m just a small artist under your company. Whether I’m dead or alive doesn’t really matter to you, does it? Even if it does, it’s just the contracts worth billions that only have a few days left. That amount of money for you is just the price of a house or a few cars. Is it worth getting so angry over?"

Though her voice carried a tremor and was somewhat vague, the words hit the man’s ears like sharp needles piercing his heart, clear and excruciatingly painful, drawing crimson blood.

After Ye Xian finished speaking, she choked a couple of times but could no longer feel any movement above her.

Challenging and spiteful words can feel satisfying to voice but often lead to regret. As soon as she finished, she regretted it. He was so angry because he cared about her, though his way of showing it was a bit frightening, probably trying to teach her a lesson. Was she being too much of an ingrate by saying such things to him?

Thinking about it, she felt a pang of guilt and raised her head, wanting to say something to make up for it, only to see the man staring at her intently, his eyes piercing and nearly sinister, even more daunting than when he was furious earlier, so much so that it made her body shiver involuntarily.

This expression...

Li... like her?

How is that possible?

Is the CEO really joking?

And that expression was so realistic... yes, his acting is always good, better than professional actors, without a flaw to find.

"CEO."

Ye Xian suddenly laughed, "Are you kidding me because you’re mad at me?"

"Joking?"

Bo Tingshen’s lips curled slightly, reaching to press the back of her head, bending down to forcefully kiss her.

He initially wanted to slowly warm her like a frog in hot water so that she would naturally jump into his embrace when the time was right.

But he forgot, little wolf cubs can never be trusted, they can only be eaten raw.

Everything happened so quickly, Ye Xian had no room to react. The warmth of his lips pressed against hers.

In an instant, her mind exploded like fireworks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tasting that long-lost sweetness and temptation, as if awakening some ecstatic memory, Bo Tingshen couldn’t help but sigh, his palm on the back of her head exerting a slight pressure, intending to deepen the kiss.
