So it was him, the young heartthrob my wife has been especially infatuated with lately, Bo Junfeng’s expression became serious, caught between the joy of having such an esteemed guest and the bitterness of meeting a love rival.
"Ye Xian? Where is Ye Xian?"
In the kitchen, Wen Yan cooking heard the name Ye Xian, popped her head out, and immediately saw the person standing at the door.
Luo Yuwei also came out, recognizing the very familiar figure...
Ye Xian shook off Bo Xiaoli’s hand and turned to run, but to her surprise, Bo Tingshen signalled the butler with a glance. The butler instantly blocked her path, "Mr. Ye, since you’re here, why not stay for dinner before leaving?"
The butler was well-trained and couldn’t be moved by Ye Xian’s push, "What are you doing?"
Were these people robbers? To come and then not be allowed to leave?
"Ah! It really is my Baby Xian!"
Wen Yan recognized Ye Xian’s voice, excitedly dropped her spatula, and ran over. Bo Lishan also quickly got up from the couch.
Bo Xiaoli, Wen Yan, and Bo Lishan—three women, faces filled with excitement and longing, stood in front of Ye Xian, eyes eagerly upon her, leaving Ye Xian full of question marks: ???
Bo Lishan: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you for saving Xiaoli!"
Wen Yan: "Baby Xian, is it really you? I never thought I’d meet you here. Mommy... oh no, auntie is really so surprised!"
Wen Yan, used to chasing stars online, inadvertently called out mommy, startling Ye Xian. Ye Xian thought this woman might be not quite sane, but she was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that it stirred the heart.
Wait, this face looked so familiar, like it was described in the original work... Jiang Wanze’s stepmother, Bo Tingshen’s mother, the Bo Family’s matriarch, Wen Yan!
Bo Xiaoli clung to her sleeve, pleading, "Handsome Brother, Handsome Brother, won’t you stay, please?"
"How could you go, dinner is ready! Baby Xian, oh right, I haven’t introduced myself to you, I’m Wen Yan, your fan—the Pink Leaf!"
Ye Xian was so shocked when she heard this ID, her sunglasses almost fell off.
Wasn’t this the bigshot, the rich fan Huihui had told her about from the super-topic? Always topping the charts at every fan event, and not so young either—it was her? Bo Tingshen’s mother?!
The Pink Leaf who checked in every day on super-topic, collected Gold Coins, completed tasks, gave rewards?!
All sorts of feelings swirled inside Ye Xian, unsure of how to react.
"Are we going to stand and chat forever?"
A man’s low and mellow voice suddenly came from behind her, sending a shiver down Ye Xian’s spine, "I’m sorry, I have something to do, so I’ll just..."
Before she could finish, she was surrounded (forcibly) and dragged (pulled) down onto the couch by the three women.
"Please, have a seat~"
"Xiaoli, go and cut some fresh fruit!"
Ye Xian was pressed into the couch by Wen Yan and Bo Lishan, coincidentally sitting next to Bo Tingshen. Suddenly, as if endowed with superhuman strength, she sprang up like a spring from the couch, settling in a spot as far from Bo Tingshen as possible.
Bo Tingshen watched her, a gleam of ridicule flitting across his narrowed eyes as if mocking her superfluous actions.
Just as Ye Xian was about to speak, she saw Luo Yuwei taking her seat beside her.
Ye Xian: "..." How was she here too? Today must be cursed; the less she wanted to see someone, the more they kept turning up before her eyes.
Ye Xian took off her face mask, sunglasses, and hat, just about to clarify everything and leave when she heard Wen Yan and Bo Xiaoli scream out in excitement, "Wow—"
