Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Thump Thump Love

Half an hour later, the Ye family’s hot pot dinner was almost ready, and Ye Juncheng returned from the medical research institute.

As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Has Xianxian come back yet?"

"You and Shaowen are just alike, coming home and looking for your sister," Xia Hewan poked her head out of the kitchen, "How was the inspection at the Central Medical Research Institute today?"

"Mm, the medical research environment in the country has improved significantly over the past two years. In terms of equipment and technology, we’re on par with foreign countries, aside from some conceptual differences."

"That’s good, that way you can develop your career at home with peace of mind. The hot pot is warming up, Shaowen, go call Xianxian to come down for dinner."

"Alright, that little lazy pig is still not up yet."

Ye Shaowen walked to Ye Xian’s door, just about to knock, when suddenly, ’bang’, the door swung open.

From inside came a little crazy person with disheveled hair and dull eyes, as if all her energy had been drained by a demon, startling Ye Shaowen.

"Xiao Yezi, were you sleeping or practicing kung fu in there? Why do you look like a ghost?"

"Huh? What look?"

Ye Xian walked to the sink and was also shocked by her appearance in the mirror. She turned on the faucet but accidentally opened the hot water, pulling her hand back from the heat. Wanting to squeeze hand soap, she accidentally dispensed mouthwash instead.

The whole family sat at the table, looking at her oddly, seeing her lackluster and unusual behavior. What’s wrong with Xianxian? Why does she look like she’s lost her soul?

She sat down, and Ye Zhuoxuan asked with concern, "Xianxian, you don’t look too well. Is it because work is too tiring and you haven’t rested properly?"

"No, I’m just... recently I took on a script and I’m getting into character."

Ye Shaowen: "What kind of script? Don’t take on those messy scripts about lunatics, depression, or multiple personalities. I heard some actors get too deep into character and can’t get out!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, there’s no way..."

If it were those roles, never mind, there’s no challenge for her in the art field. What she’s dealing with now is a thousand times more tricky!

"Xianxian must be under too much pressure from recently winning a trophy, which is why she’s so focused on her next project. When Mom won her first award, she was the same, afraid that her next work would disappoint the audience. But with Xianxian being so outstanding, she’ll definitely do even better!"

Xia Hewan encouraged her, standing up and picking a dessert for her, "Come and taste the candied sweet potato I specially made for you today!"

Chopsticks picked up a piece of sweet potato, pulling up long strings of sugar, with little beads of unmelted sugar forming in between.

Ye Xian looked up and in a flash, was reminded of the man pinning her down in the passenger seat, his fierce kissing, the teasing sweetness, and the lingering taste as his tongue brushed her lips.

"Hey hey hey~ No, no, I don’t want it!"

Ye Xian waved her hands to refuse, Xia Hewan looking surprised, "What’s wrong, Xianxian? Don’t you love desserts the most?"

"Re-Recently, I’ve eaten too much sugar, and my teeth hurt."

"Alright then."

"Then try Dad’s mouthwatering chicken."

Ye Zhuoxuan placed the mouthwatering chicken in front of her, and she immediately pushed it towards Ye Shaowen, "Give it to Second Bro, he loves it!"

She’s had enough drool today.

Ye Shaowen took a piece of duck tongue from the hot pot, "Try this duck tongue I cooked."

Tongue?!

Ye Xian quickly hugged her bowl, "No!"

Three refusals, the three of them looked at her even more strangely.

Ye Xian: "Mm-hmm."

Ye Juncheng listened attentively for a while, "Your heart rate seems faster today than usual."

"Ah?"

Ye Xian was momentarily stunned, then her heart started racing even more.

Ye Juncheng glanced at her, "Why are you nervous?"

Ye Xian scratched her head with some guilt, "Oh, nothing, I was just wondering if it would affect the measurement?"

"It shouldn’t. Now start thinking of the female lead in the script."

"...Okay."

No need to deliberate; the man’s image, which had been swirling in her mind all day, surfaced, sometimes still, sometimes moving, sometimes cold, sometimes warm, sometimes angry, sometimes laughing, sometimes mischievous, sometimes clothed, sometimes not...

Without realizing it, she had such a collective memory with him; when it all came rushing in, it overwhelmed her like a fierce tide.

As Ye Juncheng moved to place the microphone back on her heart, he could seemingly hear her pounding heartbeats with his bare ears, visibly seeing the slight tremor in her clothes from her rapid heartbeat.

He was momentarily stunned.

Ye Xian thought for a while and, seeing that he wasn’t speaking, curiously asked, "How is it, bro? Did I reach 1.5 times?"

Ye Juncheng put away the stethoscope and asked her, "Xianxian, are you sure you were thinking of the female lead in the script just now?"

Ye Xian looked at his serious expression and stuttered, "...Yes, yes."
