Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart - Chapter 690: 690: Misunderstanding the Relationship

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Misunderstanding the Relationship

“It’s just a joke, what’s there to fear?”

The man released his hand, easing his tone as if not to scare her, making it light and slow.

Ye Xian let out a slight sigh of relief, so it was just a joke… For her, who knew the plot, that joke was simply terrifying!

In the deep of the night, a cool breeze suddenly rose outside the window, lifting the fluttering curtain corner and knocking over a green plant behind it.

‘Clang~’ the green plant toppled, and the porcelain pot shattered on the ground. Ye Xian looked over and jumped in fright.

Oh no! It was she who, upon entering, noticed that the plant looked a bit dry, so she had watered it a little, even opening the window to air it out. She didn’t expect the wind to suddenly pick up so fiercely and blow the plant over.

“CEO, that plant was my…”

Bo Tingshen looked at the curtain, got up, took his suit jacket from beside him, and casually ‘threw’ it over her before walking over.

“Cover yourself.”

Ye Xian: “?” He’s not blaming her?

The man drew the curtains and began cleaning up the shattered flower pot.

“CEO, let me do it!”

“Just sit and wait for me.”

Huh?

Ye Xian watched his concentrated effort in picking up the pieces of the flower pot and his back as he took the trash to the bathroom; she was momentarily stunned again.

The CEO really was an enigmatic figure. He seemed distant and aloof, yet he would approach you, making you feel incredibly close. His personality was domineering and stingy, especially prone to bullying people for fun, yet unexpectedly, he would show a particularly warm side, like you’ve been swallowing bitterness, then suddenly taste a piece of candy. That candy would be sweeter than any you’ve ever eaten.

The man’s figure had already disappeared into the bathroom, and Ye Xian was still lost in thought when a sharp ringtone suddenly broke the silence.

She hurriedly took out her mobile phone, only to realize it wasn’t hers but Bo Tingshen’s next to her.

The caller ID showed—Shangguan Yunli

She quickly picked up the phone and ran to the bathroom, discovering the bathroom door was closed and the sound of water washing over porcelain pieces came from inside.

“CEO, there’s a call for you. It’s from Shangguan Yunli!”

“You answer.”

The man’s voice came from inside the bathroom, leaving Ye Xian puzzled, “Is that okay?”

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, what’s the password?”

“0317”

0-3-1-7… Why does that number sound familiar? Ye Xian didn’t think too much about it and unlocked the phone directly.

“Tingshen, guess what I’ve brought you back from my trip? Top-grade Jade Dew. It was already bought by someone else, but I paid three times the price to get it back for you, specifically so you could try it. Isn’t that brotherly of me?”

As soon as the call connected, Shangguan Yunli’s voice came from the other end.

Top-grade Jade Dew? Seems like it’s a famous tea from Japan, indeed the taste isn’t bad.

“Why aren’t you responding? This is Top-grade Jade Dew.”

Shangguan Yunli didn’t hear the reply he had expected and felt somewhat dissatisfied. It was one thing for him to be ignored usually, but to have no reaction even to a favorite treat? What had captured his attention lately?

“Movie King Shangguan, the CEO is currently unable to take your call.”

A clear, pleasant voice with a hint of childishness came through the phone, catching Shangguan Yunli off guard. Ye Xian?!

He took a look at the caller ID and the time on his phone.

In the dead of night, how could Tingshen’s phone be in his hands?!

Could it be…

Shangguan Yunli’s thoughts took a wild turn, and he asked tentatively, “Ye Xian, what is Tingshen doing right now?”

Ye Xian: “He’s in the bathroom.”

The bathroom?! Late at night, the two of them alone in one room, and he’s in the bathroom?!

Shangguan Yunli was completely dumbfounded, “You, you two…”

“What about us?”

Ye Xian asked him innocently.
