My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 924 924: Just Kiss Me Once

Chen Xuan shook his head with a chuckle, "Why bother, insisting on competing with Lin Wanxi."

"When do you two plan to end this fight?"

"The day we die." Ye Qingxian sneered, "I must live well and aim to die after her, hahaha."

Chen Xuan's lips twitched; he truly found them hard to handle.

It's come to this.

"Let's get back to the progress of the investigation."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Besides Lan Feilin, there's also Wang Zilan, the eldest daughter of a third-rate family, who married into the second-rate Huo Family and became their eldest daughter-in-law."

"How's the investigation on her?"

Ye Qingxian looked at him, baring her teeth, "Chen Xuan, do you think I'm a tool who doesn't eat or drink?"

"Even if I worked 24/7, it's impossible to investigate everything in such a short time."

"I'm fully focused on tracking Lan Feilin right now; how could I have the time or energy to investigate the Huo Family's eldest daughter-in-law?"

Chen Xuan gave a dry laugh, understanding Ye Qingxian's implication that she was stretched too thin.

People's energy is limited; one cannot handle everything at once.

Fighting on two fronts may not yield the best results.

If any flaw is exposed, it becomes even more passive.

"Qingxian, you've indeed worked hard during this period."

"How about this, since I'm already here, leave it to me."

"Take a good rest for a while; I'll continue investigating Lan Feilin."

Chen Xuan said softly.

Ye Qingxian smiled charmingly, "I'm glad you see my hard work; a bit of strain is worth it."

"But I don't need rest, I can continue helping with the investigation."

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "I meant something else too, which is to prevent alarming Lan Feilin and triggering her suspicion."

"If you keep investigating her continuously, she might notice, and that wouldn't be good."

"The best plan is for you to hide for a while. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Qingxian, being very smart, immediately understood his implication.

"Fine, since you put it that way, I'll temporarily withdraw and focus on developing my cosmetics company."

"I've been so busy investigating Lan Feilin for you that I haven't had time for company operations, and have been losing money."

Ye Qingxian feigned a spoiled, aggrieved expression, intentionally making Chen Xuan feel he owed her a lot.

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, "I can't shortchange you, so how about this."

"I'll give you a toner formula that can tighten skin and erase facial wrinkles."

"The main efficacy of this toner is to remove wrinkles! It's particularly suitable for women over forty, definitely making them look ten years younger."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxian's eyes widened, "You've been holding out on me! Only giving it to me now, you're only acting when you see results!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Rewards come with efforts."

"You've done so much for me, so this is your well-deserved reward, not a favor."

Ye Qingxian pouted slightly, "What do you mean, you want to draw a line with me, neither of us owes the other?"

"If that's the case, then don't give me that formula. I won't take it. All my hard work investigating for you wasn't so you could repay a favor and make us even."

"You should understand my intentions, I just want you to appreciate me; I'm willing to do more for you than Lin Wanxi in terms of affection!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, wondering why it always came back to Lin Wanxi.

It seemed a lifetime feud with Lin Wanxi was inevitable.

"Qingxian, that's not what I meant. I'm just trying my best to give you a little something in return."

Chen Xuan explained softly, "Don't overthink it; I never said I wanted to draw a line. We've been through thick and thin together."

"We're basically close friends..."

Ye Qingxian immediately responded, "Alright, I have just one request: a kiss from you."

"If you fulfill this wish, I'll gladly accept your toner formula as my greatest reward."

Chen Xuan was stunned, wondering how things escalated.

He smiled helplessly, "Qingxian, maybe a hug instead, a friendly hug."

"That works too." Ye Qingxian willingly embraced him.

Her face pressed against his chest, looking affectionate, with a happy smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chen Xuan grinned continuously, wondering if this was still a friendly hug.

It clearly lost its original intention, surpassing mere friendship.

It looked more like an intimate embrace between lovers.

At this moment, he felt somewhat chaotic inside.

It couldn't be denied that Ye Qingxian, this enchanting woman, was irresistibly alluring, exuding a captivating aura.

If one wasn't steady-minded, it was easy to get lost in her allure, unable to extricate oneself.

Though he had no such thoughts, he couldn't resist the charming influence, unable to articulate the feeling.

"Chen Xuan, just a kiss, even just once."

Ye Qingxian gazed at him with tender eyes, filled with a longing gleam, "Don't worry, I won't make unreasonable requests, nor will I put you in a difficult position."

"This has been my little wish all along, hoping you could fulfill it..."
