Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Too Crafty and Cunning

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Too Crafty and Cunning Ye Xian looked at him with a mix of amusement and pity. This second brother had truly been tormented by the original occupant of her body. She raised her hand, making a solemn pledge, “I would ruin my face before I lie to you…” Before she could finish, Ye Shaowen engulfed her in a bear hug, holding her tightly. “Umm~” Ye Xian struggled for breath against his chest, beating vigorously at his arms. But Ye Shaowen seemed oblivious to the pain, “Xiao Yezi, you’ve finally come around. Bro is so excited, so happy…” His voice trembled with excitement. In broad daylight, two grown men hugging drew strange looks from the people around them. Ye Xian stomped hard on Ye Shaowen’s foot, causing him to finally let go. Seeing him about to hug again, Ye Xian quickly stopped him, “Hold on! Bro, it’s a public place, everyone is watching.” “Okay, okay!” Ye Shaowen nodded repeatedly, his eyes brimming with warmth as he gazed at Ye Xian. For two years, he had been longing for this day when Xiao Yezi would finally see through Jiang Wanze for the jerk he was. “So Xiao Yezi, now that you don’t like Jiang Wanze anymore, can you quit the entertainment industry? Just stay by your second brother’s side, okay?” Ye Xian shook her head, “Not okay.” “Why not?” “Not liking Jiang Wanze and quitting the entertainment industry are two different things. I am passionate about and will continue to pursue my career in acting and stardom. You wouldn’t stop supporting me, would you?” She blinked her shiny, watery eyes at him, looking like an adorable, well-behaved little squirrel, melting Ye Shaowen’s heart completely, leaving him unable to refuse. “As long as Xiao Yezi likes it, I’ll support anything but Jiang Wanze!” “Thank you, second brother, you’re the best~” Her words were as sweet as if dipped in honey, leaving Ye Shaowen completely charmed and dizzy. Ye Shaowen took out a prepared gift box and pushed it in front of her, “Open it and see.” “What’s this?” Ye Xian curiously opened the box, revealing a stunning, colorless diamond necklace that nearly blinded her with its brilliance under the crystal light. It was too beautiful, too expensive, wasn’t it? Having studied jewelry design in college, Ye Xian knew that the necklace, studded with top-quality diamonds, would cost at least tens of millions in the market. “Bro, this is?” “For you. Do you like it?” “Isn’t it too valuable?” “As long as you like it, I would even pluck the moon from the sky for you, not to mention just a diamond necklace.” Ye Xian looked at him, utterly moved. “Second brother, actually, I wanted to meet today because there is something I need to discuss with you.” “What is it?” “Uh…” Ye Xian closed the gift box, hesitating on how to start, “Bro, why did you refuse to collaborate with Winston?” “Winston? The menswear brand under Bo Group?” “Yes.” “I didn’t refuse. Actually, they haven’t even approached me for a collaboration?” “What?” Ye Xian’s jaw almost dropped in shock, “Bo Tingshen never discussed the partnership between Winston and Zero Degree with you?” Ye Shaowen shook his head, a look of confusion clearly visible in his eyes, obviously unaware of what she was talking about. Ye Xian was baffled. Damn it, was Bo Tingshen playing her? There had never been an issue of Zero Degree refusing to collaborate with Winston from the beginning, and yet he used that as an excuse, using “Business World” as bait, to coerce her into agreeing to his unfair terms? That was incredibly cunning and deceitful! Was he even human?
