Chapter 453 Staying Overnight on the Sofa

After removing her hat and mask, Chen Xiu sat openly on the sofa in Tian Xinwei's room.

Zhou Ye stared at him blankly, her mouth slightly open, her mind not quite processing what he had just heard, so much so that she didn't know how to respond.

Tian Xinwei stood at the door, carrying the takeout, her cherry lips turned down, her almond eyes glancing sideways at Zhou Ye, her heart filled with displeasure.

Hmph! It's one thing for you to be hung up on scumbags all the time, but to come here today and pull a surprise visit, have I been giving you too much face?

Xiao Tian thought to himself with a sinister air, and began to devise various "tricks" to target Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye shuddered slightly, then turned to look at Tian Xinwei, whose face was full of "kindness," before glancing at Chen Xiu, who had just greeted him.

"Good evening, boss!"

As for questions like why Chen Xiu was there, Zhou Ye felt that asking would only make the three of them feel awkward, so it was better to skip it.

Seeing how sensible she was, Chen Xiu nodded slightly and smiled, "Xiao Tian and I were just about to have dinner when you came over. Do you want to come along?"

"May I?"

Zhou Ye's eyes widened in surprise, his upper teeth gleaming white as he grinned.

Tian Xinwei pursed her lips, her eyebrows furrowed, and stared intently at Zhou Ye, secretly wary of her trying to impress her to her face.

Chen Xiu ignored the two young women's reactions.

He just felt that Zhou Ye had already come in and discovered him, so rather than letting her go now, he might as well go with the flow and keep her here, so that there was no risk of things being exposed.

"Of course! We ordered a lot of food, we probably can't finish it all, so we'll have to trouble you to help us use it up."

"Great! I haven't had dinner either."

Zhou Ye placed his hand on his stomach, thinking: It's been over an hour, I should be able to eat a little more...

Hearing Chen Xiu speak, Tian Xinwei could only bury her emotions in her heart, no matter how unwilling she was.

However, from the moment the takeout was picked up until the three of them sat down around the coffee table, the big-eyed cutie remained silent, her lips pressed into a thin line.

Seeing Zhou Ye's starry eyes and Tian Xinwei's resentful expression, Chen Xiu's lips twitched slightly, and she placed the roast goose she was holding with her chopsticks into Tian Xinwei's bowl.

"Ok??"

Tian Xinwei paused for a moment, her gaze fixed on the roast goose in the bowl, then slowly looked up.

As she looked up, her features, which had been hunched over, began to relax and curve upwards, and a smile suddenly filled her entire face, from the corners of her eyebrows to the corners of her lips.

Why are you putting food on my plate?

A proud and arrogant girl, determined to be proud and arrogant to the very end.

Even though she was almost laughing out loud, she still pretended to be confused and displeased as she questioned Chen Xiu.

When Tian Xinwei caught a glimpse of Zhou Ye's open mouth and the rice grains stuck to his teeth, her haughty chin unconsciously rose even higher.

As the saying goes, when it's time to cooperate with your performance, I will do my best to perform.

Since Chen Xiu wanted to coax Tian Xinwei, she naturally didn't care about her little bit of arrogance: "I want to share what I think is delicious with you, while it's hot."

"..."

Zhou Ye's expression remained unchanged, his mouth still open, with food stuck to his teeth.

"Hmm~, if you think it tastes good, does that mean I'll definitely like it?"

With her mouth full of goose leg meat, Tian Xinwei said this despite her reluctance.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu smiled, then snatched a tissue before the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex could glare at her, and wiped her greasy mouth.

"Ok??"

Tian Xinwei's round face froze for a moment, then blushed, switching seamlessly; her haughty reaction was no longer sustainable.

"Um???"

Zhou Ye's mouth opened even wider, and his already wide eyes widened even more at this sight.

She never expected that Chen Xiu not only lacked that annoying arrogance, but could also be so gentle and considerate towards his girlfriend.

In contrast, those young celebrities who have just gained some fame in the industry are not very capable, but they act all high and mighty... People are really worlds apart!

As for whether Chen Xiu might be acting, pretending to love Xiao Tian... what a joke! What am I, Zhou Ye, that I'm worth someone putting on an act?

Ugh, that brat Xiaotian, how come she's eating so well?!

If my boss were to date me and simultaneously sideline Xiaotian, I could accept that...

A dragon roared in Zhou Ye's heart, his envy and jealousy reaching their peak. He wished he could sit in Tian Xinwei's position right now and suffer the gentle "ordeal" inflicted on him by the billionaire.

Although Tian Xinwei couldn't fully grasp Zhou Ye's inner thoughts, she still managed to glean some clues from the changes in her expression.

When asked how she felt about it, Tian Xinwei only felt a tingling sensation all over her body!
That's awesome, so awesome!!

Even reading female-oriented novels with a strong female lead theme isn't this satisfying!!
She dates a boyfriend with top-tier qualities in every way, just to make her best friend envious and jealous!

If this part is missing, then dating becomes really pointless (in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect: boring)!!

I never had a chance to show off before, so I could only keep this feeling of exhilaration to myself. But today, Zhou Ye took the initiative to come to my door... Hehe, good timing, perfect timing!!

Tian Xinwei laughed wildly in her heart, her almond-shaped eyes reflecting Chen Xiu like an inverted crescent moon, and said in a sweet voice, "Boss, I want to eat that poached chicken."

Holy crap! What kind of weird reaction is that?!
Zhou Ye shouted inwardly, gripping his chopsticks tightly, his face full of astonishment.

Chen Xiu slightly lifted her eyelids, a smile flashing across her eyes, and said, "How about I feed you?"

"what??"

The excessive amount of saccharin startled Tian Xinwei for a moment before she realized what was happening.

"what!"

Seeing that Tian Xinwei had opened her mouth and was staring at him like a baby bird waiting to be fed, Chen Xiu felt a surge of warmth in her heart and quickly put out chopsticks to feed her.

Zhou Ye, who ate as much candy as he wanted, felt numb... After dinner, Tian Xinwei, who had gained an abundance of emotional value, took the initiative to clean up.

Chen Xiu's act of lending a helping hand made her smile never fade.

Zhou Ye sat blankly to the side. By the time he realized what was happening and wanted to help, the takeout boxes had already been mostly packed away.

I really shouldn't have shown up here today!

"Zhou Ye, are you staying overnight?"

"Um???"

"Hmm? May I?"

As this question, filled with intense expectation, was uttered, Zhou Ye's dim eyes lit up rapidly, like fireflies gathering together.

Tian Xinwei tried to put on a stern face, but failed, so she could only express her dissatisfaction by pouting.

Chen Xiu ignored their reactions and continued, "I'm returning to the capital tomorrow morning and don't want to be disturbed. Could you please stay and sleep here tonight?"

"No grievance, no grievance."

Zhou Ye waved his hands repeatedly, his mind already considering whether he should sleep on his left or right side.

"OK, then I'll have to trouble Xiaotian later."

"Indeed, I'll let her decide how I sleep later!"

Tian Xinwei frowned and glanced sideways, clenching her fist, wanting to slam it into Zhou Ye's face...

"You don't need to listen to her!"

Chen Xiu's correction made Xiao Tian feel disappointed and loosen his fist, while Zhou Ye laughed excitedly.

The next second, the two emotions switched instantly.

"You can sleep on the sofa tonight, do you need to listen to anyone else's opinion on this?"

"Um!!!"

"Huh? I'm sleeping on the sofa?"

Zhou Ye pointed to his nose, incredulous.

Tian Xinwei closed her eyes and tilted her head back, feeling a tingling sensation in her heart...

Chen Xiu nodded in confirmation: "That's right! That's why I said I had to trouble you a little. This sofa is wide enough, the backrest can be lowered, and the length is just right for you to lie down comfortably."

Hey, is this the important point?
Zhou Ye's lips curled into a bitter smile, thinking to himself that he had been looking forward to this for nothing, and it was a complete waste of his expression!
"And then, about tonight."

Hearing the voice suddenly turn low, Zhou Ye quickly suppressed his frustration and looked up at Chen Xiu.

Tian Xinwei also felt puzzled and turned to look.

In their eyes, Chen Xiu, who had been smiling just moments before, had lost her smile at some point, and now only solemnity and seriousness remained on her face.

He stared at Zhou Ye and said, "You may think you saw me in Xiao Tian's room, had a meal with me, and then slept next door to me, but that's your imagination."

"You just came over to chat and sleep with Xiaotian as usual. You even discussed the effects of air humidity on the skin. Nothing unexpected happened during this process."

"When you wake up tomorrow and leave this room, if you mention anything about tonight to anyone, your work schedule for the next two years will likely be changed to focus on improving your basic acting skills."

Seeing Zhou Ye gasp for breath and look terrified, Chen Xiu realized that she had said the right thing.

"OK, you don't need to answer anything now. Just stay in the living room. Xiaotian will get you a blanket and pillow, and then you can have a good night's sleep."

After speaking, Chen Xiu got up from the sofa first, smiled at Tian Xinwei, and went into the room.

Zhou Ye sat on the sofa, his lips moving, his eyes glazed over, and he remained silent.

Chen Xiu's established image with Datang artists and Douyin employees has always been that of a gentle, polite, and down-to-earth person. But as a manager who is also in charge of the main external affairs, how could she possibly be without any skills?

Although he knew that Zhou Ye was unlikely to reveal what happened tonight, it was still necessary to make his stance clear.

This can also effectively prevent accidentally letting something slip.

……

After taking a shower, I went into the room and saw Chen Xiu stop typing on the keyboard.

Tian Xinwei smiled, moved lightly behind him, wrapped her two fair arms around his broad shoulders, and pressed her small face against Chen Xiu's cheek.

"You were so serious about coconuts just now."

Did she cry?

"There were some signs, but I held back."

"That means the pressure I applied was just right."

Chen Xiu turned around and kissed Tian Xinwei on the cheek, raising her hand to touch her soft, medium-length hair that had grown to her shoulders.

“A boss can get along well with employees, but he still needs to maintain a proper balance. If I feel that nothing matters, then she will be even less likely to take it to heart.”

"Hmm, I think this is the first time I've seen you like this."

Tian Xinwei pouted her red lips and began to tighten her arms.

Chen Xiu grabbed her hand and asked, "How's the soundproofing in the hotel room?"

"Never mind her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Xinwei pressed her lips against Chen Xiu's...

At three in the morning, Zhou Ye sat up on the sofa and grinned, genuinely happy that the world was finally quiet.

She glanced at the door, lay back on the sofa, pulled the blanket over her head, and curled up.
