Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Boss's Gaze is Terrifying

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Boss’s Gaze is Terrifying “Killing someone by breaking their heart, that’s the right way to deal with a romantic rival. When did Ye’s followers get so clever?” Cary muttered, nudging Lin Yan next to him. Lin Yan shook his head, simply watching Ye Xian, “Don’t you think he has been quite extraordinary tonight?” Cary nodded, “Yeah, extraordinarily punchable!” “That’s enough, Jingshu. Grandfather is very pleased with your intention,” Old Master Bo, noticing Cheng Jingshu’s embarrassment, signaled the butler to put away the painting, casually shifting the focus to Ye Xian, “Young man, what’s your name?” Unbelievable, even after being in the same group with Jiang Wanze for more than two years, Old Master Bo still didn’t know her name. It seemed he really didn’t pay much attention to Jiang Wanze usually. “Ye Xian.” “Ye Xian, surname Ye…” Bo Yuanshan murmured, as if savoring the name. Ye Xian looked at him, her mind suddenly sparking an idea. Right, how could she have forgotten that she also prepared a gift for Old Master Bo? This Old Master Bo, after all, was the founding elder of Bo Group, the person Bo Tingshen respected the most. Winning his favor was like indirectly pleasing the top boss, wasn’t it? Thinking this, Ye Xian happily took the gift box prepared by Ye Shaowen from her seat. “Chairman Bo, actually I also have a humble gift for you.” “Oh?” Old Master Bo was curious, “What is it?” Ye Xian unwrapped the ribbons of the gift box, which were tied quite tightly. After unwrapping it, she coquettishly brought it over to Old Master Bo, opening the lid. This big spender, her second brother, would definitely have prepared a very expensive gift. Who would have thought that as soon as she opened it, she was stunned, looking as if she had been struck by lightning. Dammit, what was Ye Shaowen thinking?! Just as Old Master Bo leaned in to take a look, Ye Xian swiftly clamped the lid shut with a loud ‘clang’. Old Master Bo: “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, nothing…” Ye Xian’s expression changed dramatically, looking very animated. The guests seated nearby also looked at her with questioning eyes, seemingly interested in her secretive gift. “I just suddenly remembered that opening gifts in front of everyone is more of a Western custom. In China, receiving gifts is much more reserved. It’s better if you open the gift after the guests have left, Chairman Bo~” “Such a young age and yet so mindful of etiquette, alright then.” Old Master Bo nodded and moved to take the gift. Who would have thought, Ye Xian clutched the gift box tightly to her chest, refusing to let go, “It’s not proper to let the birthday person handle gifts themselves. I’ll give it to the butler after the meal.” “Alright then.” Luckily, Old Master Bo was easy to deceive. Ye Xian secretly wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned around, only to meet Bo Tingshen’s gaze. The man’s dark and deep eyes were fixed on the gift box in her arms, his stare lasting so long it left Ye Xian with a sense of unease. She hadn’t opened it when he was looking, had she? But if he hadn’t seen it, why did his look seem so unsettling? Ye Xian, clutching the gift box, dashed back to her seat and ate her meal in silence, her head bowed. Cary, curious, tapped the box in her arms, “What treasure are you hiding in there? I never thought Ye’s followers would become such a schemer, preparing a gift especially for Chairman Bo. Since when did you become so skilled at brown-nosing?” “Don’t touch it, or I’ll stomp on your foot.” “Pfft, whatever great item it is~”
