Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Tingshen, What Are You Looking At?

Who comes onto the court playing so aggressively right from the start? It’s as clear as Sima Zhao’s heart, impossible to conceal.

Ye Xian’s eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a small shadow over her eyes. As the yellow ball approached within a meter, she dodged with agility, holding the racket in one hand, and returned the shot perfectly.

The assistant observers, who had been ready to celebrate Zhang Hao’s anticipated quick victory, didn’t expect Ye Xian to actually catch the ball.

Indeed, Brother Hao’s serve was fast, fierce, and high; even seasoned sports enthusiasts would struggle to catch it, let alone Ye Xian, who looked so slender and frail.

Zhang Hao was also somewhat shocked; he had watched Ye Xian stand there nonchalantly and thought she was just an amateur. He didn’t expect her to respond with such flexibility and speed.

It couldn’t just be luck, could it?

Thinking this, Zhang Hao caught the ball on the bounce and swung powerfully at it again, using ninety percent of his strength this time.

The already whirlwind-fast tennis ball came roaring even more fiercely.

Ye Xian watched the ball and rapidly retreated a dozen steps or so, her body swaying slightly as if she took a long time to judge its landing spot before finally finding the right angle. She exerted herself to lift the racket upward, barely managing to catch the incoming ball.

“Phew~”

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, her expression somewhat troubled as she looked at Zhang Hao, “Brother Hao, you play so fiercely. I almost didn’t catch it. Go easy on me~”

Cheh~

So the last shot was indeed due to luck! She’s actually just a novice!

Zhang Hao’s confidence surged in an instant, his strokes becoming even more forceful as he hit the ball back at her fiercely, “Alright, you just wait for me to go easy on you!”

“Tingshen, what are you watching so intently?”

At the Observation Platform, Shangguan Yun Li came out of the admin office and sat down, following Bo Tingshen’s gaze down to the court.

Huh?

Isn’t that tennis-playing boy’s silhouette somewhat familiar? Isn’t he that, that…

“Ye Xian?”

Shangguan Yun Li squinted his eyes to confirm, “It’s him, isn’t it?”

“Not sure.”

Bo Tingshen withdrew his gaze as the tea in his white jade porcelain cup had gone cold.

Shangguan Yun Li, eyeing the lukewarm tea in his hands, raised his eyebrows. You’ve been watching for so long and still unsure?

“Tingshen, do you think I’m a real talent spotter? Having such a keen eye for talent.”

Bo Tingshen gave him a sidelong glance.

Shangguan Yun Li crossed his legs, looking towards Ye Xian on the tennis court, “As soon as I returned to the country yesterday, I heard Ye Xian was making waves in ‘Business World’, glowing brightly, and gained quite a few fans. I went specifically to watch some clips of the drama, he actually acted quite well, much stronger than I expected. But without my introduction to those opportunities, he wouldn’t have had this chance to shine, right?”

Bo Tingshen: “The opportunity you introduced to him?”

“…”

Shangguan Yun Li, having inadvertently spilled the beans about him secretly offering Ye Xian opportunities, fell silent.

“Ah well, irrespective of who made the introduction, he’s become famous now, and isn’t it your company that benefits in the end? Come, let’s watch the game~”

On the court, Ye Xian was being driven back step by step. Although she could catch the ball every time, it was obvious she was struggling, as if she might collapse on the court any second.

“This lad’s skills haven’t changed at all, not one bit of progress~”

Shangguan Yun Li recalled the comical scene when he last played golf on the shore of Southern Border Lake, a memory hardly bearable to relive.

Bo Tingshen watched the increasingly weary figure on the court, his thin lips pressed into a tight line.
