Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart-Chapter 331: Misunderstanding Him

On the way back, Ye Xian had already figured out where to place Zhou Lu. The entertainment industry was too murky—keeping her by someone she didn’t fully trust was risky, and she couldn’t bear the thought of encountering another Cheng Jingshu 2.0.

It would be Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin was kind and gentle, Zhou Lu wouldn’t be mistreated by her side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Lu burst into tears out of nowhere.

Ye Xian: "???"

"Brother Ye, don’t you want Xiao Lu anymore? Is there something wrong with what Xiao Lu did? Can’t Xiao Lu change? Don’t abandon Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu won’t go anywhere except by your side!"

Zhou Lu cried louder, although her time with Ye Xian had been brief, she had already grown deeply fond of him. Ye Xian was upright, intelligent, and particularly caring. Besides her grandmother, she had never met someone who treated her so well. If even he didn’t want her, she didn’t know what she would do.

Seeing her cry so miserably, Ye Xian patted her head, "Silly child, stop crying. I can’t bear to part with you either, but look at me now, I’m banned, I don’t have any activities, I don’t need an assistant. Staying by my side will only hold back your future."

"What future could be more important than you, Brother Ye!"

Zhou Lu shook her head frantically, "Brother Ye, please don’t send Xiao Lu away, okay? Xiao Lu doesn’t care about anything else, only about you."

"But..."

"There are no buts. If Brother Ye doesn’t want me, then I won’t listen to your arrangements, and I don’t want any future. I’ll just take my things and go back home to get married and have kids."

Get married and have kids?

Ye Xian’s mouth twitched, "How old are you, getting married and having kids at 17?"

Zhou Lu sniffled, "That’s how it is in our hometown, girls marry particularly early. I have a childhood friend who just turned seventeen and already has two kids."

Ye Xian: "...Don’t follow her example! You need to obey the law!"

"???" Zhou Lu, "Is it illegal to marry at seventeen?"

"Of course, the Marriage Law states that men must be at least 22 and women at least 20 to register for marriage. Seventeen is still underage."

Zhou Lu: "Doesn’t that mean you can’t get married until four years from now, Brother Ye?"

Ye Xian: "..." Is that the point? Besides, she... it’s only a year and a half away.

"Mind your own business, we are talking about you now."

"Oh." Zhou Lu nodded vaguely, "Then I won’t get married either, unless Brother Ye is willing to keep me."

It was the first time Ye Xian had seen an employee use their lifetime decision to threaten their boss. It felt weird, but seeing her so naïve, lacking even basic legal awareness, what if some scoundrel deceived her both emotionally and physically?

"Alright." frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Yay!"

Zhou Lu’s tears instantly vanished, her smile brighter than flowers.

Ye Xian: "..." It felt like she had been pretending just now.

"Brother Ye, I think it’s really strange. The CEO used to treat you quite well, giving you all sorts of resources. How come he suddenly said to ban you? Was there some kind of misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Thinking he was a good person was my biggest misunderstanding."

Mentioning Bo Tingshen, Ye Xian’s face changed, "Don’t talk about him anymore, I don’t want to hear his name."

"Okay, then Brother Ye... what are your plans for the future?"

Plans?

She had figured that out while driving earlier.

Breaking the contract with Star Entertainment was impossible. Initially, to get close to Jiang Wanze, she had signed a servitude agreement with Star Entertainment, requiring her to earn a hundred million within three years to regain her freedom. If she unilaterally breached the contract or it was terminated due to some fault, depending on the situation, the compensation could be several to a dozen times more.
