Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Pull It Out

“Shangguan Yunli!”

Ye Xian became anxious when she saw him stirring up trouble in front of the CEO, “That’s all false… Ding—”

Before she could finish, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

When she took it out to look, it was a message from Jiang Xin on WeChat: [Xiao Xian, what are you doing?]

The phone felt like it was burning her hand, Ye Xian almost couldn’t hold onto it and nearly dropped it.

Damn, how coincidental, speak of the devil and he sends a message.

0.01S later, she quickly turned off her phone and pretended as if nothing had happened, sitting upright and proper.

The last time the CEO called to question her about whether she was involved with Jiang Xin, she denied it and even swore that she hadn’t even added him on WeChat, and now Jiang Xin had sent a message. If the CEO found out, he would definitely think she and Jiang Xin were having a secret affair. She could guess her fate would be… similar to Cheng Jingshu, who at least had some connection to Jiang Wanze and received some leniency, but as an outsider, she would likely be left with no bones intact.

Shangguan Yunli saw her guilty expression and movement, narrowing his eyes, “Whose message is it? Is it Jiang Xin?”

Ye Xian was so frightened she almost shivered, could Shangguan Yunli read minds?

Bo Tingshen’s tea drinking paused slightly.

Ye Xian: “No, it’s… it’s spam.”

Her eyes flitted about, and she swallowed, clearly nervous. Shangguan Yunli stretched out his hand, “If it’s just spam, why are you so nervous? Let me see?”

Ye Xian gripped her phone even tighter.

Bo Tingshen, noticing her overly obvious behavior, spoke in a deep voice, “Take it out.”

“I…”

Ye Xian glanced at the two of them, feeling bizarrely like she was being held hostage by bullies and couldn’t escape.

“May I not?”

Shangguan Yunli smiled subtly and beckoned with his finger, “Hand it over quickly. Don’t you want to defy your boss’s command? Forgot to tell you, Tingshen hates disobedient employees the most.”

“But a phone is personal privacy, you should respect me…”

Ye Xian’s back was sweating with nervousness.

It was over, she was doomed, caught lying to the CEO. She would have to go join Cheng Jingshu!

Bo Tingshen: “Shall I do it myself?”

“No need!”

Ye Xian instantly took out her phone, Bo Tingshen reached out, but Ye Xian instantly handed the phone to Shangguan Yunli.

The man paused midway, his gaze lingering on her heavily.

Ye Xian forced a smile, “CEO, don’t you have a germaphobia? My phone has been touched by me all day, it’s full of bacteria, it will dirty your hands.”

Shangguan Yunli triumphantly took her phone, spun it around, “Gesture password?”

Ye Xian: “…X”

Shangguan Yunli unlocked it, flipping to the WeChat interface.

Ye Xian felt like she was a dead woman walking.

On WeChat, Jiang Xin, not having received a reply from Ye Xian, had sent several more messages.

[Are you busy?]

[Did you eat properly today?]

[I made a cheesecake, let me show you, do you like it? If you like it, I can have someone bring it over]

[Are you free this weekend? Let’s have a meal at ten in the morning, I’ve already booked the restaurant, Romantic Lovers table number 21, remember to reply when you see this]

Shangguan Yunli, who grew up privileged and handsome and was accustomed to being surrounded by admirers, understood women better than his acting experience could imply.

Just from those few messages Jiang Xin had sent, he was certain that Jiang Xin definitely liked Ye Xian.

Calling her with such an affectionate nickname, offering food he had made, arranging a meeting at a couple’s restaurant—could it be any more obvious?
