Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 908

Chapter 908: Chapter 907: The Thickness of the CEO’s Skin

He pretended to put on a stern face, just about to scold her, when he saw Bo Tingshen place a piece on the chessboard.

This piece... was misplaced, a waste piece.

"Eh?"

Ye Xian looked at the piece he placed down, momentarily dumbfounded. Was there some ulterior motive to placing it there? Or was it...

"CEO, didn’t you place this piece incorrectly?"

Bo Tingshen looked down at the piece’s position, his expression momentarily startled but quickly dismissed. However, this subtle change was noticed by Ye Zhuoxuan.

He was also a bit curious at first, but then looking at his expression, and then at his daughter’s face full of doubt, he laughed knowingly.

Young people indeed, unable to resist a beauty’s ruse.

Bo Tingshen: "No."

Oh?

Ye Xian was half-believing, half-doubting, watched them play a few more moves, and only then slowly believed when he saw that the wasted piece was perfectly rounded over.

But at the critical moment, the Blackie gave up on blocking, giving the White a glimmer of hope.

Ye Zhuoxuan looked at the situation and couldn’t help but smile.

The White dropped, winning the game.

Pang Kai watched in trepidation from the side, almost thinking the CEO would break plans to prove his ability in front of his future in-laws and win against the prospective father-in-law.

Ye Xian also saw that Bo Tingshen intentionally went easy and gave a thumbs up to Ye Zhuoxuan, "As expected of a champion dad, truly impressive!"

"Get aside!" Ye Zhuoxuan reprimanded her and smiled at Bo Tingshen, "I concede."

In all his years of playing chess, it was the first time he lost to a junior, and thoroughly lost, he had to admit defeat.

Bo Tingshen: "Uncle’s chess skills are truly admirable."

Truly admirable, he thinks it’s more due to his daughter being good-looking, right?

Ye Zhuoxuan chuckled lightly, looking at him, with an unmistakable hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

As in life, being able to conceal and reveal, planning every step, and mastering every piece on hand indicates a determined, highly intelligent person capable of handling major matters, but someone overly rational and calculative can also be formidable. However, with Xianxian being able to disrupt his mind becoming his weakness, that was reassuring.

"Mr. Bo, if you don’t mind, could you accompany me for another game?"

Ye Xian: "Dad, are you getting obsessed with chess? I want to play with the CEO!"

She had been itching to join after watching for so long!

"What’s the rush? You’ll have plenty of time to play with him in the future, as for me..."

Ye Zhuoxuan stopped mid-sentence, seeming to realize something, while Ye Xian looked at him blinking, and Pang Kai was also taken aback.

Bo Tingshen held a faint smile at the corner of his lips and glanced at Pang Kai.

Pang Kai immediately retrieved a gift box from behind him.

Unwrapping the package revealed a small book with a simple color and worn pages. Ye Xian wondered what could be so old, but upon seeing the words ’Xiu Ke Record’ written on it, Ye Zhuoxuan stood up immediately.

Xiu Ke Record, wasn’t it the legendary unparalleled chess manual from the Jin Dynasty? He had seen it at an auction more than twenty years ago, but then had no choice but to watch it get bought by an anonymous wealthy man, never to reappear, never again in the itinerant world. And now, in front of him...

"Knowing that Uncle is proficient in chess and loves to collect various chess manuals, our family happens to have a Jin Dynasty chess manual to offer to Uncle."

"Is this really the Jin Dynasty’s Xiu Ke Record?"

Ye Zhuoxuan stared at the manual in shock, "Could it be that the person who bought this manual more than twenty years ago was..."

"It was my granduncle."

"This, how can this be allowed, it’s too valuable! Far too valuable! I cannot accept it! Moreover, honorable people do not take others’ cherished items!"

The person who bought this manual for tens of millions of yuan over twenty years ago clearly cherished it greatly.

"My granduncle passed away a couple of years ago. This manual has been idle at home, and it’s better to give it to someone who appreciates it."

This...

"Xianxian, the tea has gotten cold, go brew a new pot."

"Okay~"

Ye Xian ran to the tea room, brewing a new pot. While doing so, she tiptoed, peering outside, the atmosphere seemed harmonious. If the CEO could settle with her parents, big brother surely won’t be a problem, the trickiest issue is second brother...

Once the tea was ready, Ye Xian carried the teapot over, only to hear a conversation between two people upon arrival.

"...Although the environment and philosophy of medical practice in the country have progressed over the years, there’s still a significant gap compared to abroad, especially with the Birmingham Research Institute you were at, which has the most advanced cardiovascular equipment and the best assistants you could ask for, now, there are here too."

Bo Tingshen pushed a contract in front of him, Ye Juncheng glanced over, the eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses suddenly narrowed in surprise.

He thought he was just here to visit his parents and probe around.

But instead...

A new private medical research institute, adding up the land, buildings, high-tech equipment, his former team; even a rough estimate would be a staggering figure.

"Mr. Bo, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Xian put down the teapot, only then noticing the contract on the table, the CEO actually intended to establish a new medical research institute, and in big brother’s name no less!

Bo Tingshen: "I think you might be mistaken, this is just a token of the Bo Family’s appreciation for you saving Grandpa."

"This token of appreciation seems rather too precious," Ye Juncheng said, "And as for you, President Bo?"

"Wishing to provide a better environment and facility for outstanding medical researchers in the country."

"Is that really all?"

"And also..." Bo Tingshen looked at him, his dark feathered jade-like eyebrows unabashed, "A gift for meeting my brother-in-law." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Crash~"

Ye Xian’s hand shook as she poured the tea, nearly spilling the cup.

She truly... underestimated the CEO’s audacity.
