Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Peerless Good Brother
“Bro, are you free? Can we go out for dinner together?”
“Of course, Little Sister wants to meet her Second Brother, Second Brother is always free! Tonight at five, Cloud Top Restaurant’s table number 10, I’ve already booked it! Ordered your favorite French pan-seared foie gras.”
It was rare for Ye Xian to take the initiative to invite Ye Shaowen out, and he was so pleased that he stopped looking at his documents, picked up his car keys, and went straight home.
Kami, the assistant, saw President Ye leave work early with a beaming face and couldn’t help but ask, “President Ye, you seem to be in such a good mood today, is there something good happening?”
“My little sister invited me to dinner, and I’m going to buy her a gift beforehand.”
What an exceptionally good brother.
Tall, rich, handsome, and doting, always ready at her beck and call, more reliable than a boyfriend.
Kami looked on with envy, sighing at the unfairness of life.
Ye Shaowen was overjoyed, but Ye Xian’s face was clouded with anxiety upon receiving his reply.
The better her Second Brother treated her, the heavier her guilt weighed…
To further her own future, she had actually jeopardized her Second Brother’s interests. When she saw him, he would surely scold her for being a family disgrace.
Ye Xian made herself look a bit pitiful with a quick tidy up, and headed straight for Cloud Top Restaurant.
“Hello, right this way, please~”
The waiter led her towards the top floor of the restaurant, and from afar, Ye Xian could already see Ye Shaowen sitting by the glass window.
Ye Shaowen was dressed in a sky-blue casual suit, not the typical prim and proper attire of the usual business elite. Instead, a few buttons were casually undone, and his white shirt was neat and bright. Simply sitting there, he exuded the aura of a rich young master.
“President Ye, the person you’ve been waiting for has arrived.”
The waiter bowed slightly toward Ye Shaowen, who looked at the person arriving behind her—covered head to toe with a duckbill hat and a face mask, “?”
Ye Xian took off her mask and called out, “Bro.”
To her surprise, Ye Shaowen was even more astonished upon seeing her face, “!” Who was this fresh and handsome cutie with a sweet smile?!
Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, wondering if it had been only a month since they last saw each other; did Ye Shaowen really need to be so surprised?
As if to assure himself that she indeed was Ye Xian, Ye Shaowen stood up with some excitement, “How did you turn into this?”
“Did you wash off the smoky makeup?”
Two years ago, Ye Xian fell in love with smoky makeup as if possessed, buying loads of cosmetics and applying them frantically to her face. A sweet sixteen-year-old girl was smeared into what looked like a thirty-year-old witch, infuriating him so much that he had scolded her on multiple occasions, feeling terrible himself, yet she continued to do as she pleased, completely ignoring his words.
And now, without anyone’s persuasion, she had taken it off herself!
How pretty her natural face was—the beauty of natural grace, like a lotus emerging from water, and when she smiled, two shallow dimples appeared, truly an unrivaled cutie!
“I stopped wearing the smoky makeup because it was too ugly; it even trended on social media. Didn’t you see it, bro?”
“Everyday on Weibo there’s only negativity about you, and you told me not to bother, so I uninstalled it a long time ago. But didn’t you used to love smoky makeup? You said something about Jiang Wanze liking it, why all of a sudden don’t you like it anymore?”
“Sigh!” Ye Xian laughed, put down her bag, and sat down, “I don’t even like Jiang Wanze anymore, let alone smoky makeup.”
At her words, Ye Shaowen was once again stunned on the spot, his face bearing an expression of utter disbelief as if struck by lightning.
“Xiao Yezi, are you joking with me? Or do you need my help with something else?”
