"Okay!"
Ye Xian readily agreed, to Ye Shaowen’s surprise.
In the past, getting her to come home was as hard as asking for the moon, as difficult as requesting the Old Buddha to return to the palace—why was she so eager to agree today? And judging by that expression, somewhat impatient, too?
"Xiao Yezi, aren’t you afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi?"
"Of course I’m scared, but... I miss you guys more."
But she was more afraid of cohabitating with Bo Tingshen...
Being snapped by the paparazzi was at least a problem that could be solved with money, but if the CEO discovered her real identity, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself even with half a life.
"Looks like brother didn’t spoil you for nothing!"
Ye Shaowen ruffled her hair, which made her smile from ear to ear.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Ye Xian seized the opportunity, "By the way, second brother, you can sell off that house in Jiuxi Eighteen Islands, I don’t want to live there anymore."
"Why’s that?"
Ye Shaowen looked puzzled, "Isn’t it comfortable living there?"
"It’s not that, it’s just that my current job is really busy. I don’t even know how often I can return in a month. Keeping that house empty seems a bit wasteful. I might as well stay at a five-star hotel every day—it would be more economical."
Ye Shaowen thought about it and agreed; the Jiuxi Eighteen Islands was quite far from home, after all.
Initially, he chose Jiuxi Eighteen Islands for its security and privacy to fend off Bo Tingshen’s entanglements. However, he hadn’t heard Bo Tingshen’s name from Yezi’s mouth recently, nor had he seen him around her. Perhaps there was no further involvement?
"Xiao Yezi, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Has Bo Tingshen been bothering you lately?"
"Cough cough~"
At the mention of Bo Tingshen’s name, Ye Xian choked on her sandwich and coughed several times.
Why is second brother asking this? Did he discover something this morning? That shouldn’t be the case, the CEO didn’t go out...
Ye Shaowen looked at her with concern, "Eat slower, no one’s fighting you for it."
Ye Xian, seeing the casual concern in his eyes, as if there was no other meaning behind his question, replied,
"Of course not, what are you saying, second brother? A busy CEO like him deals with affairs worth tens of millions every minute of the day. Where would he find the time to bother me?"
... Just a moment ago, she had been pinned down on the bed by him.
Listening to her, Ye Shaowen let out a sigh of relief, but also scoffed at the same time.
Ye Xian’s heart raised at that scoff.
What, what happened? Did he really discover something?
He knew all too well that someone like Bo Tingshen, a high-profile figure with power and mystery in the business world, wouldn’t truly invest in emotions. Even if he fancied something or someone, it was just for a temporary novelty, just a fling. Luckily, he was wise to pull Yezi away from the fire early on.
"Second brother, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing." Ye Shaowen smiled, "Xiao Yezi, your contract with Star Entertainment is about to expire, isn’t it?"
"Mhm."
"Good, I’ve already drafted the termination agreement for you, and I’ve found your next agency. I’ll make sure to surprise you at that time."
"... Okay."
Ye Xian nodded hesitantly.
