As Ye Xian just pulled her hand back, she accidentally bumped into the soup bowl, and a few drops of broth splashed onto Bo Tingshen’s brand new suit pants.
The man stood up, his magnetic and mellow voice laced with a bit of indistinct huskiness, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom to handle this."
"Alright, Uncle Liu, please accompany Tingshen to the restroom."
Xia Hewan smiled and gave Ye Xian a playful chiding glance, "How old are you? Still so clumsy, where’s the grace of a young lady? You should learn more from Tingshen in the future, see how mature and composed, gentle and graceful he is."
"..."
Ye Xian felt wronged, Mom, as a deep-thinking artist, shouldn’t you see past the surface of things?
All his elegance and gentleness today are just a façade to fool you! At his core, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a beast in tailored suits, a refined scoundrel!
And... a scoundrel!
Ye Xian: "...Okay."
Ye Shaowen: "Okay, nothing! Our Xianxian has always been like this since childhood. If he can accept it, fine; if not, goodbye!"
Ye Xian: "..." Second brother, don’t diss the CEO and drag me into it too.
Ye Juncheng: "He didn’t say anything, why are you angry?"
Ye Shaowen: "...Brother, you’ve changed! We agreed to raise Xianxian together for life, and instead, you reached out to the handsome and wealthy kidnapper midway!"
After a while, Ye Xian noticed Bo Tingshen hadn’t come out of the bathroom yet, which was strange. Could it be... his OCD acting up?
"No, the more I think about that mosquito, the more disgusted I feel. I need to go to the bathroom to gag it out!"
Ye Xian stood up abruptly. Xia Hewan looked at her curiously, "Are you serious about the mosquito? I keep the kitchen and ingredients very clean. Did you see wrong or was it just psychological?"
"No, I’m absolutely sure!"
Ye Xian insisted, while a thought flashed through her mind in 0.01 seconds, "... Because it was particularly big."
Ye Xian walked to the restroom door, pretended to head towards the women’s side for a second, then swiftly turned and slipped into the men’s.
At the sink, the man was casually washing his hands, bit by bit, and caught her reflection in the mirror. His calm, handsome face slightly stunned, "Why did you come in?"
Ye Xian tilted her eyes, glancing at his suit pants stained with congee earlier, "I came in to find you, to see if you were... eh?"
She looked up, puzzled as he suddenly turned the tap on full and went to lock the restroom door.
"CEO, what are you do... ah!"
Before she could finish, the man grabbed her waist, lifted her off the ground, and pressed her firmly against the sink.
Ye Xian, afraid of accidentally slipping into the water, quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, watching as the gentlemanly demeanor he maintained all day was ripped away, revealing his fierce nature.
His deep, abyss-like eyes locked on her, his handsome face slightly contorted with desire,
"Little fairy, you’ve been teasing me all day, you want me to... right here in your house?"
Ye Xian seemed to realize what he was about to say, quickly covered his mouth, blinking her innocent big eyes, "You villain! When did I tease you?"
Bo Tingshen pulled her hand away and, without a word, leaned in to kiss her.
"Hey~"
Ye Xian was quick, covering her own mouth. This lust-driven man, clearly finding an excuse to kiss her, and even trying to pin a crime on her first! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Bo Tingshen diverted attention, aiming to bite at her neck.
With a hickey planted, Ye Xian whimpered softly, worried the faucet noise was too low or someone might barge in. She held her mouth tightly with one hand and lightly pushed his chest with the other, "CEO... Bo Tingshen, Tingshen, Brother Shen... don’t act rashly, this is home! What if Mom and Dad see or my second brother catches us, all your efforts today would be for naught, all in vain!"
"Good, then at your grandfather’s banquet, did you pretend not to know about ’Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits’ to avenge your brother and intentionally embarrass me? You..."
"No."
Before she could finish, the man denied it deeply.
Ye Xian: "You’re lying, then what’s it for? Could it be... the Werewolf’s evil nature?"
"It’s to resist you."
Ye Xian: "?"
Bo Tingshen: "Resist your allure."
Hearing this, Ye Xian froze, what... does he mean? Could it be what she’s thinking? Did he like her since then???
Then, because she was a ’boy’ at the time, his rationality told him to keep a distance?
Didn’t expect him to have such an inner journey? She had always been fooled by him, really thinking he liked someone regardless of gender, hidden deep!
Inside, Ye Xian suddenly felt a surge of vengeful joy, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of her eyes, "So you wanted to resist me, huh? How do you plan to do that?"
"Not look at you, not listen to your voice, not think of you."
"Then why did you later get closer to me, President Bo with a double standard heart?"
Ye Xian smirked, poking his chest.
Bo Tingshen slowly opened his slightly reddened eyes, deeply gazing at her, "Because I didn’t want to resist anymore."
Because every moment he wanted to see her, hear her voice and do...
