Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The Embarrassing Scene
Ye Xian spoke those words with utmost sincerity and from the bottom of her heart, expecting the CEO to be moved by her and to feel that he really hadn’t made a mistake in supporting her…
But Bo Tingshen’s jaw tensed slightly, and instead of any trace of happiness on his sharply contoured, handsome face, a hint of coldness emerged.
Ye Xian: “???” Could it be that the CEO regretted firing Cheng Jingshu and now he was unhappy because she brought it up again?
Shangguan Yunli seemed even more puzzled, “Tingshen, did you fire Cheng Jingshu not because of Wanze?”
He had thought Wanze wanted to break up with Cheng Jingshu, and that was why Tingshen took the opportunity to fire Cheng Jingshu from Star Entertainment. But it was because of Ye Xian?
Bo Tingshen put down his teacup and looked deep into Ye Xian’s eyes, “Is it because of this?”
Ye Xian: “…Yes, yes, it is.”
What else could it be? The CEO’s expression…why was it getting more and more strange? What had she said wrong? Was there something wrong with flattery?
“I keep you only because you are younger than her and have more benefits to be squeezed out,”
the man’s voice was low and deep, and the gaze he fixed on her was sharp, like a hunter sizing up a plaything in a pit, exuding an inherent oppressive force that made Ye Xian’s skin crawl.
“…Okay, I will grow up quickly so that you, CEO, can squeeze me out to your heart’s content,” she said.
Shangguan Yunli: “???” Why did the conversation between these two sound so odd?
At the tea table, the atmosphere became oddly stiff, and what broke this stiffness was the huge digital TV on the top of the sports hall, which had been showing a sports event but was suddenly switched— to “Business World.”
“My youth is the coolest breeze on the shady path, the brightest star in the dazzling galaxy, willing to take ninety-nine steps toward me without giving up…”
Familiar TV commercial lines came through, and Ye Xian’s ears perked up. Looking up, she saw the digital screen displaying her and Jiang Xin’s figures.
Because of Cheng Jingshu’s incident, she was forced to retire, but the popularity of “Business World” stayed high. Viewers were all about the Chen-Xin CP, so the production company replaced the leading couple’s promotion video with one of Gu Chen and Ning Xiner across all channels, even changing the promotional words.
But what Ye Xian couldn’t understand was, even if “Business World” was that popular, it surely wasn’t enough to be showing this urban idol drama in a sports arena, right?!
And now, the screen was showing her shamelessly flirting with Jiang Xin.
[At a banquet, Gu Chen grows jealous of Ning Xiner and the male lead, so he pretends to be drunk and has Ning Xiner take him home. Ning Xiner helplessly supports him on the way. Seizing the opportunity, Gu Chen acts petulantly and refuses to move: “I can’t go on, I need a kiss from sister to get the strength!” Ning Xiner sighs, “Stop it~” Gu Chen pulls her arm, pressing her into his embrace and changes his drunken facade, whispering wickedly in her ear, “Who’s causing trouble? I really can’t move. How about sister gives me a breath of her fairy essence, for a boost?” The implication is clearly to steal a kiss…]
What kind of embarrassing lines, what kind of embarrassing actions?
Ye Xian hadn’t felt anything when filming, but now that it was broadcasted in front of everyone, especially in such a healthy, public place, she felt an indescribable sense of shame.
She turned to look at Bo Tingshen and Shangguan Yunli and saw that they too were staring intently at the TV.
