After Sharing Senses with the Paranoid CEO, the Infamous Starlet was Forced into Pampering Chapter 44

Chapter 44: So That’s What a Male Bodhisattva Means

Originally, the few seconds of pause from President Li made Qin Yu unable to help but feel nervous, but in the end, he actually asked such a stupid question?

“Uh.” Qin Yu was in a bit of a difficult position. “Actually, to tell you the truth…”

“Forget it, you can go out.”

Li Yanzhou looked at his expression and understood, but he felt that he had already tried his best to restrain himself in front of Xia Mu.

But at the very least, it seemed he knew Xia Mu’s ideal type?

Gentle, doesn’t like it rough.

Then he would have to lean towards this direction in the future… As he thought about it, Li Yanzhou started to get impatient. What did the type Xia Mu liked have to do with him? Why should he cater to his preferences?

Seeing as today’s work was finished anyway, Li Yanzhou stood up, preparing to get off work.

The driver was already waiting in front of the company building. Li Yanzhou got in. He felt very irritable inside. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t resist making a voice call to Xia Mu.

“Li Yan?”

The other party’s voice came through with a slight nasal tone, sounding exactly like he was lying in bed. Li Yanzhou didn’t even realize it himself, but just hearing Xia Mu’s voice caused the corners of his lips to curl up.

“You’re not asleep yet, right?”

“Not yet, I’m reading scripts.”

“What do you think of me?”

Li Yanzhou’s topic shift was a bit stiff, startling Xia Mu. He sat bolt upright, which consequently scared Xiatian by his feet into jumping away, the fur all over its body standing on end.

“Meow!!”

Xia Mu quickly scooped the cat into his arms to soothe it, replying to Li Yan at the same time:

“Did you lose at the drinking table and are playing Truth or Dare?”

“What?” Li Yanzhou was shocked by Xia Mu’s train of thought. “No.”

“Then why did you ask so suddenly? Could it be that you’ve figured it out? Are you planning to recommend yourself to be my boyfriend?” Xia Mu couldn’t help but tease.

“I’m just asking what kind of person you think I am.”

Hearing President Li’s words, the driver in the front felt a stormy sea surge in his heart. He didn’t know who was on the other end to actually make the usually unflappable President Li feel apprehensive.

“Oh, this. Actually, answering this question is a bit difficult for me. After all, we haven’t spent that much time together, but I know your biggest strength is being warm-hearted.”

Xia Mu carefully recalled, and answered earnestly:

“If it wasn’t for your warm heart, I would have frozen to death on the day of the earthquake, and regarding the drowning at the sea, I probably wouldn’t be in this world anymore. Plus, I’ve said it before, you are simply more effective than the Bodhisattva my grandmother prays to, so calling you a ‘male Bodhisattva’ is not an exaggeration at all.”

He said that before?

Li Yanzhou seemed to have forgotten, but having “male Bodhisattva” interpreted in this way by Xia Mu was a first for him. He couldn’t help but rub his temples.

“Am I gentle to you?”

Gentle?

Xia Mu twitched the corners of his mouth. No matter which memory of Li Yan and himself he looked at, he couldn’t scrape out the word “gentle” from it.

Besides, Xia Mu had always been a straight shooter, so he just said it directly:

“No, you might be too used to being a CEO, carrying the common failing of CEOs.”

“What common failing?”

Li Yanzhou didn’t realize his voice was actually a bit urgent. He didn’t even know since when he started caring so much about Xia Mu’s opinion of him.

“Domineering.” Xia Mu yawned. “But then again, after all, what frequently appears in TV dramas are domineering CEOs. A CEO, if he isn’t domineering, he isn’t called a CEO.”

“…I don’t think I’ve treated you like that, have I?” Li Yanzhou didn’t understand which of his actions seemed domineering to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu leaned lazily against the bed. “You kissed and hugged me without my consent, what does that count as?”

Before Li Yan could speak, Xia Mu continued:

“If we count back over a hundred years, I could entirely claim you tarnished my innocence and force you to marry me.”

“You can.” Li Yanzhou blurted out without thinking.

“Forget it. Now it’s a socialist society with freedom of marriage. It’s just a kiss, not like I lost a piece of flesh. I still want to marry a wife, you know? Why should I eagerly rush to marry you.”

Speaking of this, Xia Mu couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“Moreover, for a large family like yours, don’t even mention how picky they’d be about your fiancée. The Cinderella plotline is impossible to happen to me, and I don’t want to experience the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts of wealthy families. I just want to live peacefully until I’m a hundred.”

“Got it, go to sleep early.”

Li Yanzhou pursed his lips. After hanging up the phone, for some reason, he felt a sense of loss. Xia Mu actually really didn’t have the slightest intention of being with him.

Although his family wouldn’t have the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts Xia Mu spoke of, Li Yanzhou’s mother had already secretly taken him to see Xia Mu on the day he came of age.

Li Yanzhou remembered clearly, his mother said to him then: “That pretty boy is your future wife, and also my daughter-in-law. You guys can start cultivating feelings as early as possible. Being that pretty, don’t let anyone else beat you to him, otherwise don’t come crying to me then.”

“But Mom, what if I don’t believe in destiny? I want to wait until I grow up and find love myself.”

Thinking of this, Li Yanzhou twitched the corners of his mouth. When his mother heard his words back then, she still smiled and said that no matter what, she would support him.

But it seemed… it was he who hadn’t seen his own heart clearly.

Li Yanzhou lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Mu’s WeChat profile picture. It was Xiatian; those clear, round eyes looked exactly like Xia Mu’s.

Xia Mu looked at the suddenly hung-up phone, and Li Yan’s last sentence that sounded somewhat disappointed. Xia Mu frowned slightly; did he say the wrong thing?

Whatever. Didn’t Li Yan say to rest early anyway? Xia Mu never overthought things, nor did he ever cause himself internal friction. But as for this unfinished script, he would just read it for a bit longer, treating it as a bedtime story.

The next morning at 8 AM, Xiatian was doing parkour punctually at the head of Xia Mu’s bed. Xia Mu rubbed his hair, which had been trampled into a mess, and said helplessly:

“Oh my ancestor, stop stepping on me. I know you’re hungry. Right away, I’ll get up to scoop the poop and feed you right away.”

Xiatian held his head high and proud, jumped off the bed, and lay down in front of his little bowl waiting to be fed.

As soon as Xia Mu got out of bed, he heard a knock on the door. He opened it to find it was actually Ren Zhilin. He waved the takeout boxes in his hand:

“You treated me last night, today it’s my turn. This place’s breakfast is pretty good, I bought some for you to try.”

“Ren-ge? Sure, but I just woke up. You eat first, I’ll come out after washing up.”

Xia Mu sheepishly rubbed his messy hair. While Xia Mu wasn’t paying attention, Ren Zhilin snapped a few pictures and sent them to Li Yanzhou:

[Your boyfriend just woke up.]

[But honestly, if you want to see Xia Mu this much, why don’t you just install a camera in his dorm? It would save you from making me deliver this and that for you every day.]

Ren Zhilin couldn’t help but complain. The breakfast was still delivered to him by Qin Yu, who said it was for two and told him to eat it with Xia Mu.

[Good suggestion. I’ve already had Qin Yu prepare a micro-camera. Next time you go over, it’s best if you place it facing the bed.]

Li Yanzhou replied in seconds.
