Chapter 33: Bo Tingshen, Stop Right There!

  “Can’t do it?”

  Ye Xian looked bitter—who could do that? Wasn’t he just deliberately making things difficult?

  “Then forget it.”

  “President…”

  Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Xian mustered all her courage and spread her arms to block his path. “I know I’ve done a lot of wrong things before, including clinging to your brother and giving the wrong gift at the banquet. But I promise I’ll never do that again. And to show my sincerity, I even prepared a new gift for you today!”

  With that, she quickly pulled out a small, bck item from her pocket.

  Shangguan Yunli squinted—w-was that… a small whip?

  “President, if it helps you vent your anger, you can hit me however you like. I won’t make a sound!”

  Ye Xian offered the whip to Bo Tingshen with a look of heroic self-sacrifice.

  Whipping? No shouting?

  Shangguan Yunli was completely stunned.

  “Ye Xian, first you gave him lingerie, now a little whip? What’s next, candles?!”

  “Huh?”

  Ye Xian looked at him in surprise. “This isn’t a kinky whip! It’s just a regur whip! Haven’t you heard the story of General Lian Po carrying thorns on his back to ask for forgiveness? It represents a heartfelt apology!”

  “But it looks exactly like a kinky toy. Did you buy it from the same store? Is it a set?”

  A set, your ass!

  Ye Xian: “?!” Shangguan Yunli’s brain was way too dirty and perverted!

  “Why are you gring at me? Am I right?”

  “Of course not! President…”

  Ye Xian turned to Bo Tingshen in a panic to expin—but he was already squinting coldly at her, his expression just as dubious as Shangguan Yunli’s.

  Why are all these men’s thoughts so filthy?!

  That wasn’t her intention at all! This—this whip was chosen after long deliberation. She’d wracked her brain over it!

  Bo Tingshen was powerful and rich, used to receiving expensive gifts—nothing she gave would surprise him. Only a sincere gesture could move him. That’s why she had used the historical reference of “carrying a thorny whip to beg forgiveness.”

  Who would’ve thought they’d interpret it in such a twisted way?!

  “President, please don’t misunderstand—I didn’t mean it like that…”

  “Get lost.”

  Those two icy words smmed Ye Xian’s hopes straight into the ground.

  The man brushed past her without a shred of emotion, and as she stood there holding the cold whip in her hands, her heart went cold too.

  Her ban from the industry was already set in stone. Her carefully pnned apology and gift had become a joke.

  She’d bowed and scraped, only to be humiliated in the end.

  In all her years alive, this was the most aggrieved she’d ever felt.

  The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. The more she retreated, the more wronged she felt!

  “Bo Tingshen, stop right there!”

  Her voice cut across the golf course like a lightning bolt. Even a few ball boys in the distance stopped and stared in shock.

  Who was this crazy person calling President Bo by his full name—so defiantly, no less? Did she have a death wish?

  Bo Tingshen’s steps halted.

  Shangguan Yunli cmped a hand over Ye Xian’s mouth, eyes wide with disbelief. “You little brat, do you want to die?!”

  Ye Xian pulled his hand away and strode up to Bo Tingshen, eyes bzing like stars in the sky. “President Bo, am I or am I not a signed artist under Star Entertainment? Isn’t it clearly stated in the contract that the company is responsible for arranging resources and scheduling for its artists? Then why is it that, even though I’m part of FOR, the other three get a hundred times better treatment than me? Is it because you’re deliberately biased?”
