She tentatively called out twice, but the man, as if he hadn't heard her, threw a dozen punches before picking up the knife that a crazed fan had dropped on the ground.
Ye Xian's pupils dilated rapidly, a terrifying and unbelievable thought flashing through her mind—could the CEO be thinking of...
Ye Xian ran over and saw the cruel look swirling in the dark depths of his eyes, obviously radiating a fierce intent to kill, "Stop! Stop it, or someone is going to die."
She hurriedly grabbed his arm, which was holding the knife, her eyes wide with terror and blazing.
Bo Tingshen then seemed to come to his senses, releasing his grip. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✦fire.net
The crazed fan on the wall, who had already fainted, slid down like a lump of dead flesh.
Bo Tingshen looked at her, the darkness and gloom in his eyes slightly receding as he examined her from head to toe, making sure she wasn't hurt, then he pulled her tightly into his arms.
Ye Xian was suddenly pressed into his embrace, her breath catching, her lips parting slightly.
He held her too tightly, his arms like steel clamping around her, with a force so great it seemed he wanted to meld her into him.
After holding her tight, he said nothing, only his heavy, rapid breathing and his heartbeat, fast and thunderous, could be heard, resonating against her body like waves crashing in a storm.
Ye Xian seemed to feel him conveying an intensely strong emotion, but it lasted only a second because she too became disoriented.
Perhaps it was the shock of being suddenly woken by the crazed fan wielding a knife, perhaps it was the frighteningly ruthless manner in which he had dealt with the fan, or maybe...
Whatever the reason, her heart also began to beat wildly and uncontrollably, not just her heart, but every inch of her skin, every pore seemed to open slightly, her body felt as if it could almost take flight, even the painful feeling from his tight embrace just now had disappeared, and she even felt it could be... a bit tighter.
This feeling was familiar, she had felt it before when he slowly approached her, but now it was particularly intense...
The sound of his heavy breathing by her ear no longer seemed so frightening but rather like a gentle consolation.
Ye Xian's mind, fuzzy and bewildered, seemed to release something, a sense of pleasure and safety emanating from deep within her, and she even slightly rested her chin on his broad shoulder, inhaling the faint, pleasant scent of agarwood emanating from him.
It took Bo Tingshen a while to calm down, he then slightly loosened his hold on her, his fingertips gently caressing her soft, white cheek, as if reassured by the touch of her real skin.
God knows, the moment he saw her under the knife, his heart almost burst.
The man's voice, like a cannonball, immediately dispersed the woman's clouded consciousness.
Ye Xian came to her senses, her body trembling slightly.
The almost imperceptible trembling of her body tightened his pupils, his heart constricting, little did he know that the woman's trembling wasn't out of fear.
"No! Nothing's wrong!"
Ye Xian stared at him, shaking her head repeatedly, "Thanks to the CEO arriving in time!"
But inside, she felt annoyed and puzzled; what was wrong with her just now? It was such a dangerous and terrifying moment, and yet, she felt… quite thrilled? Could it have been that the scare had caused hormonal disruption in her body? Surely not?
Bo Tingshen looked at her, her face showing a naive and fearless expression, he squeezed her cheek, and Ye Xian immediately began to scream, the remaining confusion in her mind completely dissipating.
