Chapter 32: CEO, Please Hold On
"Hehe..."
The calm awkward silence lasted for two seconds before Ye Xian laughed out loud, "Just kidding with you guys. That was just a warm-up; now the real game begins."
"Really?"
Shangguan Yunli was skeptical.
"Really, really!"
Ye Xian nodded earnestly several times, stole a glance at Bo Tingshen's expression, and returned to the tee, her entire body tensing with sweat.
What the heck, hadn't played in two years, and now her skills were so rusty she couldn't even hit the ball? Why on earth did she foolishly agree to this game?
Ye Xian struck an extremely elegant pose again.
Shangguan Yunli's eyelids twitched with worry as he watched. Why did it look...so unreliable?
"Bang!"
When she swung the club again, she used too much force and her whole body flew out with it. Ye Xian face-planted onto the grass.
"Hahahaha~"
Shangguan Yunli burst into thunderous laughter.
Was Ye Xian sent by monkeys to be a buffoon? It was the first time he had ever seen someone knock themselves over while playing golf!
Bo Tingshen couldn't be bothered to give her another look, picked up his jacket, and walked away.
As the man's shiny black leather shoes passed by her sight, Ye Xian grabbed onto them like a lifeline, clutching his ankle.
"CEO, please wait!"
"Let go."
Backlit by the light, Bo Tingshen looked down coldly at the youth lying on the grass, his gaze chilling to the core.
"CEO, actually I'm not good at golf. I just wanted to make you laugh, so I tried hard. Can't we forget the past, please?"
"You challenge me to a game when you're not good at it?"
Ye Xian: "Ah?" Was he implying she was belittling him?
"Well... If I didn't challenge you, I figured you would've left."
"In fact, I came here today not just to ask for your forgiveness, but also to ask you for something else."
As the son of a wealthy family, Shangguan Yunli often saw people come to ask for favors, but it was the first time he saw someone as shameless and direct as Ye Xian—and most importantly, without being annoying.
It was also strange for Tingshen today. Usually, if anyone dared to cling to his legs like that, he'd have kicked them away so hard their teeth would fly. But today, he let it happen.
"You need a favor from me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Xian nodded frantically and brushed the dust off her clothes as she got up from the ground, "CEO, I want resources, I want to act. Rest assured, if I can get the resources, I will repay the company a thousandfold!" She had the potential and the confidence!
"Fine."
"What?!"
He agreed so quickly that Ye Xian doubted her ears. Just as she was overwhelmed with excitement, the man's next words dampened her spirits, "What will you exchange for it?"
Ye Xian looked at him with some confusion.
Exchange?
Why did she feel that the boss's gaze seemed familiar, like... the kind of men in the entertainment industry who covet female celebrities?
No way?!
Wasn't it said in the original story that he was cold and detached, disinterested in women?
Could it be... that 'disinterested in women' meant he was interested in men?!
Ye Xian nervously tugged at her clothing.
Seeing her actions, Shangguan Yunli's eyelid twitched. What good things was this brat thinking? Did he assume that Tingshen was a pervert like him, gay?
"CEO... what do you want me to exchange?"
"Put on that set of sexy lingerie, take a photo, and send it to me."
"Cough~"
Shangguan Yunli was so shocked that he almost dropped his golf club on his foot. What was Tingshen saying? Had he heard right? Even more perverted than he imagined!
Ye Xian's expression went through a spectrum of colors as he stood in place, "..." As expected, the CEO was still holding a grudge and had no intention of helping her.
