His intriguing gaze suddenly dimmed, and he spoke in a cold tone, "Take off your mask."
Ye Xian, showing only a pair of big Casland eyes, blinked a few times, "..." Why?
"Do I need to come over and do it myself?"
Ah?!
Ye Xian looked at his expression; it didn’t seem like he was joking at all. Could it be... he just wanted others to see the injury on her mouth?
Yeah, otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately left it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
It’s too much!
She is still perceived as a boy in others’ eyes; if people find out...
No, no! Just imagining those stares makes her want to run into a wall!
Bo Tingshen saw her hesitance, put down the folder, and walked toward her with a darkened expression.
Ye Xian was thinking about how to dodge when Wen Yan suddenly approached from the opposite side, "Tingshen, Xianxian! You’re here? I’ve been calling for you around here for a while."
Like seeing a savior, Ye Xian hurriedly ran over and hid behind her.
"?" Wen Yan looked at her in confusion, "Xianxian, what’s wrong?"
"Ah... nothing, Aunt Wen, did you need something from us?"
"The housekeeper brought some things over, and I’m here to call you and Tingshen to eat a bit as a start."
"No need." Ye Xian immediately refused, "I... just ate."
She definitely doesn’t dare to be alone with the CEO, that living Yama, he’s after her identity!
"You’ve eaten?" Wen Yan looked at Bo Tingshen, "Then, Tingshen, you go eat..."
Bo Tingshen stared intently at Ye Xian’s mask, his eyes darkening, "I’ve eaten too."
Ye Xian met his gaze, inexplicably... she licked her moist, swollen lips under the mask, still carrying a faint scent of agarwood.
"???
Wen Yan looked at them strangely, how did they both eat after coming out of the restroom?
"Auntie, I suddenly remembered I left something in the car; I will go back to get it now."
Ye Xian made a pretext to leave, but upon hearing her attempt to escape, Bo Tingshen strode over, scaring Ye Xian into bolting away.
"Eh~" Wen Yan grabbed Bo Tingshen’s arm, "Son, go keep your father company. He’s very anxious and can’t eat; I’m worried he might faint."
Ye Xian dashed outside, confirming that Bo Tingshen wasn’t following her. She let out a slight sigh of relief, "Phew~"
"Miss Ye?"
From behind, a familiar voice suddenly spoke, and Ye Xian turned her head. Her mask was inadvertently pulled down by someone.
She hurriedly put it back on, but her swollen mouth had already been seen.
"Wow! Pretty intense, huh~"
Shangguan Yunli squinted his eyes, teasing.
Ye Xian: "..." She forgot he also knew her identity. It’s fine that the CEO knows—he wouldn’t announce it unless he wanted to—but Shangguan Yunli, the gossip king, is different!
"But... is that all? Didn’t Tingshen do anything else?"
Shangguan Yunli’s gaze swept over her as if she were a tender, delicious piece of meat, regretfully untouched by the wolf.
"Don’t say it!"
Ye Xian cut off his rambling, feeling puzzled, "Is my female disguise really that obvious? Did you guys recognize me at a glance?"
She had thought her own mother wouldn’t recognize her after a full makeover.
"Don’t drag me into this with Tingshen; I couldn’t recognize you at all. When I heard Tingshen call your name, I thought he missed you so much he lost his mind."
What?
Only the CEO recognized her?
