Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Is He a Sworn Younger Brother or a Lover Brother?

Bo Tingshen averted his gaze, his long fingers lightly tapping on the metal armrest of the chair, resembling a patient judge about to pass sentence on a criminal, “Which store?”

“Ah?”

Ye Xian hadn’t expected him to ask so specifically and was at a loss for how to respond at the moment.

Indeed, once a person told one lie, they had to create a hundred more to support it.

“Which store… Even if I tell you, CEO, you wouldn’t know it.”

Pang Kai suddenly interjected, “The CEO has shares in the Guangmao Building, and he has inspected it before, he knows the name of every store.”

“Knows the name of every store? How is that even possible?”

Ye Xian laughed as if she had heard a funny joke, how could he remember the names of all the stores from one inspection? Was she being teased as if she were a three-year-old child?

Pang Kai: “Of course! The CEO’s ability to never forget what he has seen is no joke, and he was just at the Guangmao Building.”

“…” Ye Xian’s smile abruptly stopped, the CEO was also at the Guangmao Building just now?

She slightly turned her face and saw Bo Tingshen squinting at her, “Is it funny?”

“No, not funny.”

“Name.”

Maybe it was because she felt guilty about lying, or maybe it was his overwhelming presence, but Ye Xian always felt like he had an insight into everything and knew it all.

“CEO, I must confess to you, I just lied to you.”

“Oh?” Bo Tingshen was not surprised at all.

Ye Xian lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, “I went to the Guangmao Building today, actually to meet with Jiang Xin.”

Pang Kai’s ears perked up instantly—this was the real gossip!

Nowadays, online ‘sincere CP’ is all the rage, and not only do they not avoid it in private, but they also openly go out on dates. Could it be that the fake drama had turned into a real one?

“But don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing between us! We’re just friends, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t dare to confess to you, CEO. It’s because it’s all clear and clean that I dare to openly admit it!”

Ye Xian puffed out her ‘open and clear’ chest as though truly ‘nothing was there.’

Bo Tingshen’s brow furrowed slightly, “Why are you shouting?”

One sentence almost caused Ye Xian to slip up.

Shouting… because she was feeling guilty.

“Nothing, just worried you won’t believe me~”

“Do you think I believe you?”

Ye Xian: “…Do all businessmen behave like this? Never directly answering a question, but instead tossing it back at you.”

As the saying goes, the more one talks, the more slips one shows.

“You must believe me, after all, I am such an excellent employee, diligent and conscientious, law-abiding and obedient, with nothing on my mind but my career!”

“Would just friends take the risk of meeting publicly despite their status?”

Ye Xian: “…Maybe because my relationship with Jiang Xin is just a bit better than ordinary friends.”

Bo Tingshen: “Just a bit better?”

Pang Kai thought, Ye Xian’s little schemes are being slowly unraveled by the CEO. How could an innocent fledgling compete with a sky-soaring hawk?

“Yes!”

Ye Xian nodded earnestly, bringing out her best acting skills, “We worked together for over a month on ‘Business World’, felt a great rapport and had good synergy, and really appreciated each other, so she wanted me to be her sworn younger brother! If there’s a chance to work together in the future, this way we can avoid any awkwardness from rumors spreading.”

After Ye Xian’s sincere words, Bo Tingshen scoffed lightly, “A sworn younger brother or a lover?”

Ye Xian: “???”
