Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 972

Chapter 972: Chapter 971: Fulfilled Every Expectation of Love

"Selling candied hawthorns~ selling sugar-roasted chestnuts!"

The twilight enveloped the small pastoral town on the outskirts of the city, where a few street vendors had set up their night stalls. Ye Xian heard the calls and from afar saw an elderly man by the roadside, vigorously roasting chestnuts in a pan beside a furnace. In front of him was a tricycle loaded with a variety of candied hawthorns.

"I want to eat that!"

She happily pointed over, and Bo Tingshen turned around, glanced at the small stall, and then shifted his gaze to her joyful face.

"Alright, still like a little kid, enjoying those things."

"...I am a little kid~"

Ye Xian lowered her eyes, mischievously watching the man kneeling down on one knee beneath her, as he unfastened her gliding gear. Leisurely she said, "Unlike some people, already an old man hitting thirty..."

Before she could finish saying "old man," someone grabbed her pants.

Ye Xian was startled, nervously holding onto her pants, glaring at him defensively, "What are you trying to do?!"

Bo Tingshen squinted his eyes menacingly at her, "Do you believe I can make you a woman right here?"

"..."

Ye Xian clammed up, reined in her mischief, and smiled sweetly, "Hehe~ just joking, Brother Shen, why so serious?"

Bo Tingshen released her and focused on unbuckling her gear. While his head was down, Ye Xian mischievously tousled his hair, thinking, You old rascal, of course, you could do it!

The streetlights cast her lively shadow, Bo Tingshen’s lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes at ease.

"Want... candied hawthorns?"

The elderly vendor saw the extremely good-looking couple approaching and stammered a little, seemingly believing that people with such noble aura wouldn’t buy things from street vendors.

"Yes!" Ye Xian nodded, just about to reach out, when the man said, "Two strawberry ones, one seedless hawthorn, one honey tangerine, and a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts."

Alright then~

He knows her well!

Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, slightly satisfied, "Just do as he says."

"Alright~"

The vendor quickly packed everything and handed it to Ye Xian, "Here you go, forty-five yuan in total."

Bo Tingshen took out his phone, but the elderly man saw him about to scan a code and apologetically smiled, "I’m sorry, young man, I’m old and don’t understand how to use your fancy phones, could you pay with cash?"

Bo Tingshen put away his phone and pulled out his wallet.

Ye Xian was just about to put the candied hawthorn into her mouth when she noticed his wallet full of gold, black, and red cards, every color imaginable, yet not a single note of RMB. She slowly pulled the candied hawthorn away from her lips.

Luckily, she hadn’t taken a bite.

Bo Tingshen was momentarily surprised to find an empty wallet, apparently not expecting this outcome.

Ye Xian, rarely seeing him momentarily dazed, couldn’t help but chuckle, mercilessly teasing, "Wow, didn’t expect it, President Bao courting ladies without carrying any cash~ Trying to catch a rabbit with nothing?"

Bo Tingshen glanced at her calmly, and she laughed even more recklessly, seeing this, the elderly man waved his hands, "It’s okay, it’s okay~"

He had seen this situation many times; young people who casually came here to play rarely carried cash, though he usually reminded them, but he forgot this time because the couple looked extraordinary.

"How about this..." The old man saw the watch on Bo Tingshen’s wrist and his eyes lit up, "Young man, my grandson has been fussing for me to buy him a watch from the city, but I haven’t had the time. I think the one on your wrist looks quite nice."

Ye Xian glanced at the watch on Bo Tingshen’s hand, incredulously looking at him, "You’re not going to suggest we trade the watch for candied hawthorn, are you?"

"No, no, of course not, I’d make up the difference."

"No way! We don’t want it anymore!"

Ye Xian put down the candied hawthorn, what a joke? The watch on the CEO’s wrist is a top model of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas series, worth hundreds of candy hawthorn stalls.

"Okay."

Just as she was about to pull the man away, unexpectedly, Bo Tingshen removed the watch from his wrist.

Ye Xian’s eyes widened in shock, covering his wrist with her hand, "Are you crazy?!"

Bo Tingshen teased, "You have to sacrifice to get the rabbit."

But not making such a hefty sacrifice!

"I was just joking, just joking~"

As she tried to stop him, Bo Tingshen really handed the watch to the old man. The old vendor felt its heavy weight and premium quality, suddenly sensing something amiss, this watch... couldn’t be that valuable, right?

Thousands?

"Young man, how much is this watch? If it’s a few hundred, I’ll pay you the difference, but if it’s more, I really can’t afford it."

Hundreds? Missing a zero, perhaps?

"He’s joking..." Ye Xian was about to reclaim it when he whispered in her ear, "I’ll have someone redeem it later."

Well... that’s more like it~

But just in case, she still asked the old vendor, "Grandpa, how late will you keep your stall open?"

"Tonight there’s an event in our town with lots of people, right by the Wishing Lake not far from here. I’ll be there until very late."

"An event? Is it fun?"

Ye Xian didn’t expect an event in such a seemingly desolate town.

"Fun, you’ll definitely love it, I heard a wealthy man from the city specially..."

Before he could finish, Bo Tingshen interrupted, "Can we have a few more strings?"

"Of course, of course you can!"

"Miss, your gentleman really adores you~"

As the old man praised, Bo Tingshen’s hand holding the candied hawthorn paused, making Ye Xian a bit shy as she scratched her head, "He’s not my husband, just my boyfriend."

"If your boyfriend adores you like this, imagine after marriage, huh?"

Ye Xian, a bit embarrassed, pulled him away, "Let’s go, let’s go..."

"What’s the matter?"

"Nothing, just quickly call someone to redeem the watch."

"No need."

Bo Tingshen put away his phone and began peeling chestnuts calmly.

No need? Why? Could it be because... his personal item ended up in someone else’s hand, and his cleanliness obsession kicked in, making him not want it back?

Ye Xian was about to persuade him when she noticed the faint smile rippling across his features, almost as if... he was really happy. In afterthought, maybe it was because the old man called him her husband?

This... ingenuous and easily swayed man.

Suddenly, she stopped, Bo Tingshen placed a peeled chestnut by her lips, "What is it? Are you mad?"

Ye Xian took the chestnut, bit by bit savoring it, its rich fragrance filled her mouth. She shook her head, catching him off-guard, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips, her voice soft and enchanting, "No, just wondering how you’re so sweet? Sweeter than sugar-roasted chestnuts, sweeter than candied hawthorns."

In an instant, her words made the man’s eyes fill with desire, as he firmly clasped her waist, "Ye Xian, are you insisting I have my way with you outdoors?"

Ye Xian whispered playfully into his ear, "Brother Shen, are you so easily teased? It’s almost freezing out here, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?"

"Afraid, that’s why I need to seek warmth in you."
