Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 169: Chapter 169 President Bo Eavesdrops

Who is she? Where is she? What had she heard?

Jiang Xin just said… she likes her? She wants to be with her?!

Seeing his stunned and clueless expression, Jiang Xin obviously felt she had frightened him and silently blamed herself for being too abrupt.

Indeed, he was only eighteen, inexperienced in matters of the world, and they had only been together for a little over a month. It was hardly time to even speak of having any fondness for her, so it was normal for him to be unable to react immediately to a sudden confession.

“Ye Xian, I know my confession was a bit sudden, but you don’t have to rush to give me an answer, you can take your time to think it over, but… I really, really like you a lot.”

Jiang Xin repeated it again, no, twice.

This time, Ye Xian heard her clearly.

The steak in her mouth fell off the fork—stainless steel clashed with the marble floor, emitting a crisp ‘clang’ sound.

Ye Xian quickly bent down to pick it up.

Meanwhile, at the table behind them, a middle-aged man looked nervously and with utmost respect at President Bo of Bo Group, who was leisurely flipping through a contract with his long fingers.

Fang Zhibo, the chairman of Datong Jewelry, had prepared for five years to get his company into the BHS Center mall, but every offer he had made to BHS had been rejected. With no other choice, he put forth his utmost sincerity and personally stopped President Bo’s car in front of Bo Group.

It was a do-or-die strategy, and he was prepared to be rejected for the nth time, but unexpectedly, President Bo surprisingly agreed to talk this time.

What was even more unexpected was that the negotiation venue turned out to be in a… romantic couple’s restaurant?

These were secondary concerns. The main issue was that President Bo’s expression did not look very good.

Especially after some noise came from the neighboring table, not only did President Bo’s lips purse tightly and his clearly defined jawline tense, but even his usually impassive eyebrows exuded a forbidding air, and the contract in his hand never turned another page but stayed on the same one.

Could it be that President Bo was dissatisfied with some clause in the contract?

“President Bo, if there is any part of it you are not satisfied with, we can accommodate…”

As he began to speak, the man moved the contract aside, and Fang Zhibo’s cold gaze made him immediately shut his mouth.

Jiang Xin knew that Ye Xian stooped to pick up the fork in order to alleviate his helplessness; she also secretly began to regret confessing so quickly, as it seemed… Ye Xian was not yet ready for a relationship.

“Ye Xian, I’m sorry for suddenly confessing to you, it was wrong of me, but I… I really do like you. I’m afraid that once ‘Business World’ is over, we will become strangers with no further interaction. I’m even more afraid that this dazzling, tempting world will quickly make you fall for someone else and you will forget me, so I had to confess to you so urgently.”

“Rest assured, I don’t expect you to agree right away, just knowing my feelings is enough for me. You can take your time to decide, and give me an answer whenever.”

“Also, don’t worry that I might affect your career. If I became your girlfriend, I would be willing to keep our relationship secret as long as you don’t want it to be public; I would never reveal it.”

“Or… do you mind that I’m older than you? Although I’m a few years older and started my career earlier, I haven’t really been in many relationships. Just three years ago, I had one relationship arranged by my family, but it ended quickly. There were no feelings involved, and nothing ever happened!”
