Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857: Chapter 858: Desperate Measures

Once Zhu Shanshan picked up the phone, she was startled by Ye Xian’s sobbing, "Xiao Xianxian, what’s wrong?"

"Shanshan~"

"I’m here!"

"My boss confessed to me."

"Oh, I thought it was some big deal? You’re so exceptional, isn’t it normal for someone to confess to you? Though, sometimes the people who confess to you might be like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, not recognizing their worth. Which boss is it? Your agent or some brand investor?"

Ye Xian sniffled, "Bo Tingshen."

"What?!"

Upon hearing the name, Zhu Shanshan dropped her phone onto the keyboard and quickly picked it up, "Th-that... That Crown Prince of Bo’s? The world-class tycoon? The outrageously handsome CEO of BHS—Bo Tingshen?"

Ye Xian nodded, "Mm, you too find it unbelievable, think I’m joking, right?"

Zhu Shanshan took a deep breath, soothing her chest, "Actually... I think it’s okay. But Xiao Xianxian, I have to praise you! You’re too incredible! Ever since I first saw Bo Tingshen, I wondered what kind of woman in this world could capture such a superb man. Turns out that woman is my best friend, I instantly feel proud!"

Ye Xian stared at the phone, "...You’re not surprised?"

"Of course I’m surprised, but there was a hint earlier, wasn’t there? Remember when you showed me the ’Coke’ promo video? I immediately felt there was something unusual about your relationship. How could two people without feelings film something so intense? Don’t forget, I’m the romance queen who can’t miss any sparks of love with my Eyes of Golden Flame!" Zhu Shanshan chuckled, her eyes sparkling with gossip curiosity, "Quick, tell me! How did he confess? A confession from a big shot must be extraordinary!"

Recalling the scene, Ye Xian found it truly extraordinary, nearly devouring her.

She omitted the kidnapping bit and jumped straight to the confession, leaving Zhu Shanshan exhilarated, "Wow! That’s so thrilling, racing, confessing, and even a forceful kiss!"

"That’s not the main point, okay? The point is... his sudden confession caught me completely off guard, I don’t know what to do anymore."

Oh~

Turns out she was seeking relationship advice.

Zhu Shanshan: "You’ve come to the right person; no one understands love better than me. So, how did you feel at the time?"

"Feel?"

Ye Xian recalled the moment, her mind replaying the image of him leaning in and forcefully kissing her.

The searing lips, fierce plundering, and that long string of silver thread.

"The feeling... My hands and feet went numb, my mind buzzing, and my whole body felt so light, as if I were about to float away."

"Huh?" Zhu Shanshan froze for a moment then chuckled, "I asked how you felt about the confession, not the kiss.. But from the sound of it, you seemed to really enjoy it, almost floating away, the Big Boss has great kissing skills, huh~"

Ye Xian’s face turned red like a shrimp, "You—shut up! I didn’t, really, my first feeling about the confession was disbelief."

"Oh~"

Zhu Shanshan nodded, silently noting it down, "What else?"

"Also, I think he must be furious at me, just joking around!"

"Keep going."

"Then he kissed me, which felt utterly insane, like he’d been possessed by something!"

"Hahaha~" Zhu Shanshan couldn’t help laughing.

Ye Xian was puzzled, "Why are you laughing?"

"You’re ridiculously cute, if I were a man, I’d probably end up falling for you too!"

Ye Xian: "I’m seriously asking you right now, can you stop interrupting! Do you think the CEO is bored with his life, so he is using me for entertainment?"

"Are you kidding?" Zhu Shanshan, "He’s the CEO of BHS, a Forbes celebrity, a world-class billionaire, his work is so busy, his life so colorful, you can’t even imagine. Even my dad, who just crossed the billion mark in assets, is always so busy, nowhere to be seen; would Bo Tingshen be bored enough to use you for distraction?"

Zhu Shanshan: "Really? Since childhood, you weren’t the kind to let others bully you, especially now, your character is quite strong, yet you endure his bullying, is it because you don’t want to resist, or you also enjoy it?"

"Of course, I can’t fight back!" Ye Xian retorted, flushing to her neck, "You have no idea how formidable he is!"

Zhu Shanshan: "I wouldn’t know~ why don’t you tell me about it? I could use it as material for intense scenes!"

Ye Xian, hearing her flippant tone, jumped with anger, "Zhu Shanshan, you Minion, spouting nonsense, desperation made me consult you! Bye!"

She hung up the phone, leaving Zhu Shanshan laughing uncontrollably at the phone.

This love-struck, tempestuous lolita, watch how she gets slapped by reality later.

She... likes Bo Tingshen too?

No way, she’s gone mad, tired of living! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ye Xian cuddled the phone, anxiously wondering.

Outside the door, excitement suddenly rose.

Ye Zhuoxuan, Xia Hewan, and Ye Shaowen returned.

Aunt Tao greeted them, "Master, Madam, Second Young Master, the lady is back too."

"Xiao Yezi returned? Why so early today?"

Ye Shaowen joyfully intended to head into the room to find Ye Xian, but Aunt Tao held him back, "Second Young Master, the lady seems off today; she hasn’t come out since entering, probably tired from work, now resting."

Xia Hewan: "Shaowen, then don’t disturb her; let your sister have a good rest. We’ll make hotpot and call her for dinner when it’s ready."

"Alright."

With her family assuming she was sleeping, Ye Xian sat on the bed wide-eyed like a bronze bell, anxiously typing into the search engine—how to tell if you like someone?
