Could it be that Jiuxi Eighteen Islands is so secretive that my second brother has no idea the CEO lives next door? Very possible!
So now... she and the CEO have become neighbors, should she take the opportunity to apologize, while having the convenient advantage of proximity?
But the look the CEO gave her just now was practically the ’death glare’.
Ye Xian thought about the things she had done before and chickened out again, especially since she had just threatened him at the KPL competition and called him a lunatic...
Forget it, forget it, staying alive is more vital!
Two minutes later, Ye Xian stood in front of door 2001, nervous and apprehensive, she took deep breaths and exhaled, silently chanting to herself, "Ye Xian, heaven has granted you the coincidental chance to be neighbors with the CEO, just to give you an opportunity to apologize. You can’t be ungrateful..."
2001, the man standing in front of the electronic door viewer, watched as the youth outside alternated between anxiously rubbing his head and looking dismayed, then reaching out his hand as if to try something and retreating once again, his thin lips tightening gradually.
Forget it, I’ll just go for it!
Ye Xian bit her lip and pressed the doorbell.
It took a while before there was any movement from inside.
A green glow from the electronic door viewer shined on Ye Xian’s face.
Ye Xian: "..." That light was akin to a glare that could make you panic.
From inside came the man’s deep voice.
Ye Xian opened her mouth but found herself tongue-tied, almost forgetting the words she had prepared, "CEO, I’m so heavy, can you help move the vase, move me?"
When she finished speaking and there was no response from inside, she suddenly realized she had misspoken and quickly chastised herself, "Ah, spit! I mean the vase is too heavy, can you help me move the vase?"
Inside, there was a pause before a voice responded, "Don’t you have someone to help you?"
The tone clearly carried a hint of sarcasm.
No, it’s just the two of them on this floor.
"No, it’s too late now, the courier has already left."
After speaking, the green light abruptly went out, leaving only the sound of the man’s steps fading away.
Ye Xian’s spirits fell. She knew it. After all those disrespectful things she did to him, how could he easily deal with her? But if he doesn’t even want to see her face, how could she explain?
Wait, someone? A phone call?
The person the CEO just mentioned, could it be he’s not talking about the courier but implying... Ye Shaowen?
After all, he now believes that there’s an illicit relationship between her and Shaowen!
This misunderstanding must be cleared!
The night air was cool, with gusts of wind carrying the fragrance of grass and trees onto the spacious balcony, rustling the black hem of the man’s clothes. Bo Tingshen took out his phone and glanced at the balcony a few meters away.
"Xiao Sui, go check who Jiuxi Eighteen Islands Building C, Room 2002 is registered to."
What excuse could she find to see him?
Since no one usually lived in 2001, he must be working nearby today and just happened to stay here—she didn’t know when he might come next, and even if he did, there was no guarantee that she’d run into him.
Ye Xian scratched her head, unable to come up with a solution, and felt a bit hungry, so she opened the fridge.
There, the pack of fresh Chicken Claw she had just bought caught her eye. That’s it!
An hour later, the doorbell of 2001 rang again.
Ye Xian thought Bo Tingshen would once again talk to her through the electronic door viewer, but with a ’clang’, the door was thrown open.
She stood gaping at the man who suddenly appeared before her, dressed in light grey pajamas.
