Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Is Laughing Also a Crime for Those Who Made Mistakes?

More than angry, it was like… toying? Approaching? Controlling? For the first time, as a top student, he felt no word was precise enough.

In fact, he was a bit puzzled himself; the CEO’s attitude towards Ye Xian had always been slightly different from his attitude towards others. He thought it was just his imagination until today, when, in such a critical moment for signing a contract, the CEO actually went back to fetch the clothes Ye Xian had given him and brought her here. It was… really strange, but he couldn’t specify where the strangeness lay.

However, the CEO usually had three kinds of attitudes towards people.

One, towards family, neither cold nor warm, with appropriate care

Two, towards subordinates, just and strict, clear about rewards and punishments, without mixing personal feelings

Three, towards friends, well-measured, aptly handled; in Shangguan Yunli’s words, even after many years of acquaintance, one still feels unable to fully understand or grasp the CEO

But towards Ye Xian there was a fourth kind of attitude.

If asked, he wouldn’t be able to describe exactly what this feeling was.

Pang Kai: “Ye Xian, don’t you think the CEO treats you quite specially?”

“I do!” Ye Xian confirmed immediately, “Especially bad.”

Pang Kai: “…”

After sitting for a few minutes, Pang Kai received a call from the company.

“Ye Xian, there’s an emergency at the company that I need to attend to. If I don’t return before the CEO finishes signing the contract, can you explain for me?”

Ye Xian: “Don’t, don’t…” If you leave, and if the CEO starts to beat me up, won’t there be even fewer people to intervene?

Pang Kai ruthlessly left, leaving Ye Xian sitting alone on the stone bench, anxious and uneasy.

Under the scorching sun, she soon felt hot, took off her outer jacket, and held it in her arms. Seeing her own skinny arms exposed, she clenched her fist, trying hard to squeeze out a trace of bicep muscles.

She had practiced Taekwondo for a few years at least; if she got beat up, there had to be some resistance, right?

Maybe, she could even escape.

In the open-air No. 8 Garden Pavilion, faint conversation could be heard.

Ye Xian sneakily peered over.

Foreign rich girls are indeed beautiful, with delicate faces, S-shaped bodies, and big wavy blonde hair. Faced with such a beautiful creature, any man would be moved, right?

Perhaps the CEO and she might hit it off while chatting, and after signing the contract, they might casually go for a meal. In high spirits, he might forget her or dismiss the matter with Zhao Tongtong.

Perfect!

“President Bo, I am really grateful that you chose CSL as your business partner and signed the contract with me. During the agonizing wait here for over an hour, I was really scared that you might not come.”

Krista, struggling with her broken Chinese, tried hard to convey her deep thanks to Bo Tingshen.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“No problem. May I invite you to dinner after we discuss the details of our cooperation?”

“No need,” Bo Tingshen said, his eyes on the contract, rejecting the offer without a second thought, “I have another appointment.”

“An appointment?”

Krista looked outside the garden pavilion, and her gaze met Ye Xian’s.

All through the discussion of the cooperation, President Bo kept looking outside, as if he was surveilling someone.

If that person wasn’t someone special to President Bo, they must be the one he was meeting.

“Is it him?”

Krista looked at Ye Xian, waved at her with a sweet smile.

Greeted warmly by the beautiful woman, Ye Xian immediately returned a passionate smile, but… in the midst of it, upon seeing the CEO’s deep, cold gaze, her smile faded.

Is smiling also a sin when one has made a mistake?
