Chapter 1589: Chapter 1589: You Treat Me Like a Gigolo?

Are you crazy!

Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan, sighed, and said, "Recently, Eastern Group and Heerde Jewelry are preparing to launch a second set of products. Given the advertising effect last time, the spokesperson for this new product will still be Xiao Zhiqing."

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows: "So you just let her do whatever she wants?"

"It’s just a meal." Lin Tong frowned unhappily. "Besides, Xiao Zhiqing has a peculiar temper. If we don’t go along with her a little, she might not continue. In our contract with her, she has absolute choice."

Ye Xuan was suddenly speechless, feeling as if life was worse than death.

Good people get bullied.

If he had known today, he would never have saved Xiao Zhiqing abroad back then!

Now, retribution has come!

Suddenly.

Ye Xuan felt that things weren’t that simple and suddenly turned to look at Lin Tong.

Lin Tong’s beautiful eyes blinked, revealing a slight apologetic smile on her face: "Going to her house for dinner tonight is purely for appearances. Her condition for the next advertisement is still you."

"I knew it." Ye Xuan rolled his eyes: "Still going to be an on-site assistant?"

"No." Lin Tong shook her head: "It’s to be the male lead in the ad."

"What?" Ye Xuan was shocked: "She wants me to act in the ad?"

Lin Tong didn’t respond, but her meaning was obvious enough.

Ye Xuan painfully closed his eyes, feeling like he was embraced by the devil.

But still harboring a glimmer of hope, he quickly opened his eyes and asked: "Wife, you wouldn’t agree to such an unreasonable request, would you? You know I hate being in the limelight the most!"

"To maximize the interests of the company." Lin Tong said emotionlessly: "I agreed with her."

"I..."

Ye Xuan was at a loss for words, unable to express his bitterness.

Wife, you sold me out again!

I treated you like first love, and you treat me like a duck?

I thought having a meal at Xiao Zhiqing’s was bad enough. Now thinking back, what was that? The real nightmare hasn’t even started!

Ye Xuan closed his eyes again, as calm as a dead man.

There’s no greater grief than a dead heart.

But Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan’s appearance, unconcerned, as she gazed out the window, thinking Ye Xuan was pretending.

This guy, his favorite thing is beautiful women, right? How could he really reject a peerless beauty like Xiao Zhiqing? Does he really think I’m a three-year-old kid easy to fool?

If it weren’t for my guilt, I wouldn’t feel reluctant to constrain your freedom, I wouldn’t be so agreeable to Xiao Zhiqing!

Lin Tong liked seeing through things but not exposing them, so she didn’t say much.

Liu Ying was different.

She expressed her disdain on the spot: "Ye Xuan, just cut it out, man. What are you pretending for? Hearing that you’re going to be Xiao Zhiqing’s male lead, aren’t you secretly thrilled?"

Ye Xuan’s brow twitched, unwilling to argue, with no energy to say more.

At this point, he didn’t want to say anything.

Leng Qiuge also giggled charmingly: "Oh my, Ye Xuan, aren’t you making too much of a fuss? I never saw you so reserved before. Honestly, drop the act, everyone gets it!"

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, a really bitter curve.

Oh heavens, please grant me a knife, free me from this agony?

The wolf is coming; the wolf is coming.

This story warns people not to lie lightly, otherwise, there’d be a price to pay.

Ye Xuan learned it the hard way.

Maybe he lied too often, especially towards beautiful women. Ye Xuan always gave people an impression of being welcoming to all, so now, even when he sincerely resisted this devil Xiao Zhiqing, no one believed him.

Not only did no one believe, but those who supposedly knew him best also coldly ridiculed him.

Damn it...

Ye Xuan wanted to die.

But he couldn’t bear to die.

After all, life without Xiao Zhiqing is still beautiful...

Thus, amid the sarcasm, Ye Xuan spent the evening, eventually returning to Teehua Garden, but barely sat for two minutes before being dragged off by a bunch of beautiful women to Xiao Zhiqing’s house.

This was Ye Xuan’s second time visiting Xiao Zhiqing’s house.

The last time here, he helped Xiao Zhiqing move and saw a lot of clothing he shouldn’t have, which led to three days and nights of sleeplessness.

This time, as he entered, Ye Xuan smelled various delicious aromas.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.

As someone who is quite skilled in cooking, he could tell by scent that the dishes Xiao Zhiqing prepared tonight were indeed impressive, at least not worse than Leng Qiuge’s.

"Are all well-positioned girls such excellent cooks now?"

Ye Xuan felt frustrated, how are other girls supposed to live?

Of course, despite acknowledging it in his heart, Ye Xuan wouldn’t say it out, for he had already decided that no matter how well Xiao Zhiqing performed, he would maintain prejudice against this woman.

It’s a one-sided feud!

Soon enough, Xiao Zhiqing completed a large table of dishes alone, and everyone gathered in the dining room.

Everyone seemed happy, at least on the surface, except Ye Xuan, who remained sullen the whole time, needing to be urged to eat every bite...

As the only man on-site and displaying such incompatibility, Ye Xuan stood out.

Finally, Xiao Zhiqing couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore.

She put down her chopsticks, looked at Ye Xuan with a pitiful expression, and said: "Is my cooking not good, god? Why do you seem to have no appetite?"

Ye Xuan was about to speak.

But Yun Duo suddenly interjected: "Delicious, Aunt Xiao’s cooking is too good, Little Yun Duo wants to come over every day for food!"

Ye Xuan: "..."

Daughter, are you professionally out to embarrass your dad?

Sure enough, Xiao Zhiqing’s eyes lit up: "Really? That’s great, then Little Yun Duo must keep her word and come over every day to Aunt Xiao’s house for food!"

"Of course!" Little Yun Duo patted her chest pretending to be mature.

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, once again closing his eyes in pain.

He knew that in the future, it wouldn’t be unusual to come to Xiao Zhiqing’s house for dinner.

Little Yun Duo, are you Xiao Zhiqing’s planted spy?

The painful times may be long, but at least they will end eventually.

An hour later, under the voracious eating of Leng Qiuge and Little Yun Duo, a banquet of tasty dishes was mostly consumed.

Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and said: "We’ve had enough food, how about calling it a day?"

"No!" Xiao Zhiqing immediately objected.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhiqing, puzzled.

Ye Xuan was straightforward, dissatisfied on the spot: "We’ve eaten, and gave you face, what more do you want?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"I’m not thinking of anything else... Just..." Xiao Zhiqing’s eyes turned, smiled suddenly: "I just thought about it, everyone’s in a good mood tonight, how about... we all go out and have some fun?"
