“…Chairman Xia, it seems you’re in a pretty bad mood today!” Another perfect shot, Bo Chenghai half-leaning on the billiard cue, standing to the side in a daze. Seeing Xia Erxi’s imposing manner, sinking every shot, he obediently decided to be a companion, anyway, this was the Xia family mansion’s recreation room, and he didn’t need to pay for the table, so he was quite relaxed.
“What did you just call me?” His black eyes narrowed dangerously, Xia Erxi raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at him.
“Chairman!” Muttering without understanding, Bo Chenghai walked to the bar and poured himself a whiskey on the rocks.
“Is there something wrong?”
“It’s after work hours, and you’re in my home. Why are you calling me ‘Chairman’?” With a cold tone hiding displeasure, Xia Erxi coldly snorted.
“Even after work, you’re still my boss!” In a very matter-of-fact tone, Bo Chenghai shrugged.
“I remember we were college classmates, right?”
“Yes!”
“So, can’t you just call me Erxi?”
“No!”
Feeling an urge to punch him, Xia Erxi forcefully planted the billiard cue beside him.
“Are you deliberately trying to provoke me, Bo Chenghai!” He gritted his teeth and warned.
“But I’m still your special assistant! That status hasn’t changed…” Seeing his expression was as bad as it could get, Bo Chenghai finally wisely changed his approach.
“Tell me! What is it that’s making you unhappy again?”
“Xia Er Xi is definitely displacing his anger; it has nothing to do with whether he’s called the CEO or not. Even if he called him Er Xi today, Xia Er Xi might still turn around and glare at him, telling him to mind his address! ‘Guess.’ ‘You want me to guess?’ Wanting to get angry and make someone guess, tsk! ‘Hmm.’ With a ‘click’, the cue ball flew out straight and accurately, and the object ball beautifully dropped into the pocket.
‘Young Master Xia finding me at this time must mean he’s been shut out by some female admirer; and the only woman who dares to drive Young Master Xia away is one person. I bet you’ve been rejected by Qi Da’s talented lady.’ Bai Chenghai rubbed his smooth chin, with a hint of a cunning minister’s demeanor.
‘…You guessed right.’ His black eyes swept a glance, Xia Er Xi reluctantly admitted.
‘I was bound to guess correctly.’ The only person in this world who could make Xia Er Xi, who usually sweet-talks women effortlessly, turn purple with anger is Qi Xinluo; as for other women, they would fawn over Xia Er Xi and wouldn’t dare to provoke him!
‘She really almost drove me mad this time!’ Recalling how he had quickly finished his work, racing all the way just to see her, only to be met with… Tsk! Just thinking about it made him furious!
Walking over and sniffing him, Bai Chenghai frowned. ‘I can’t smell anything!’
‘Smell what?’ Xia Er Xi stepped back. Why bring his face so close for no reason? Thoughts!
‘Smell of a woman!’ ‘I can’t smell it myself either.”
