6: A real-life version of a domineering CEO falling in love with me

Xiao Yi looked up slightly at the affectionate and gentle Jiang Chuan, feeling as if he were glowing—he was simply too dazzling!

She knew perfectly well it was a script, but what girl could resist such an offensive? Handsome, wealthy, gentle, and affectionate...

"Ah~ I'm going to die~ Who could possibly withstand this?~"

She completely forgot the plan she had arranged and was just about to open her mouth and agree.

Seeing that she wasn't playing by the script, Jiang Chuan sensed trouble. He quickly reached out to shut down the stream while pressing his other hand against her lips.

With her mouth covered, Xiao Yi snapped back to reality. Her watery eyes were dazed for a moment before her face instantly flushed red, the blush spreading even to the tips of her ears. She turned and ran as if she had made some sort of decision... "Sigh! It's all because my charm is too great." Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly, but he couldn't just burn bridges, so he had no choice but to chase after her.

Fortunately, his current body was young; if he were still thirty-five, he definitely wouldn't have been able to catch up.

Jiang Chuan cornered her in the stairwell. Seeing that she had finally stopped running, he leaned against the wall, panting as he spoke, "What's wrong with you? It's one thing to go off-script, but why did you run? You're killing me!"

Xiao Yi was also exhausted. She squatted on the floor, taking small breaths. Hearing his words, she felt even more embarrassed, hiding her small head between her knees and refusing to show her face no matter what.

Besides his business talent, Jiang Chuan was most skilled at flirting. In his past life, he had been with eighty to a hundred women; he naturally understood what was going on with her. He didn't try to persuade her further and simply turned to leave the stairwell.

Xiao Yi heard the sound of him leaving but didn't dare move. She waited for another ten minutes before finally lifting her head. Her eyes were somewhat moist; clearly, she had been so overcome with shame that she couldn't help but cry.

She rubbed her slightly numb legs before standing up and opening the stairwell door. She poked her small head out cautiously, looking left and right. Finding no sign of him, she finally stepped out.

But just as she stepped out of the stairwell, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She instinctively turned around and saw the person she least wanted to face in her life.

"Jiang Chuans secondary!"

He was holding a pink bag that looked completely out of place on him, standing behind the door and looking at her with a smile.

Xiao Yi initially wanted to turn and run, but hearing his words, she hesitated for a long time and stayed put.

Jiang Chuan had seen too many women and slept with too many women; he understood every type.

The psychology of a girl who hadn't seen much of the world was easy to understand—it was nothing more than being too ashamed to face him. Since he knew she was a thin-skinned girl, he would just use a sense of obligation to persuade her.

What Jiang Chuan said was simple, but very effective.

"We agreed you'd help me increase my popularity. I've spent the money and bought you a gift, and you're just going to run away like this?"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiang Chuan gave her an out. He stood before her, his tone softening as he whispered:

"It's all my fault. I didn't explain things clearly to you beforehand and just confessed directly, making you think I was serious. You didn't know how to respond, so you ran, right?"

Sometimes, what a girl needs isn't coaxing or an apology, but a graceful way out.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi lifted her head and nodded vigorously, saying in a muffled voice, "Exactly, that's how it was!"

Jiang Chuan was already quite satisfied; the system interface was still constantly popping up with notifications about his increasing popularity.

Seeing that Xiao Yi finally dared to face him, he said softly, "This was still my responsibility, I don't blame you. Here, this is a gift for you, as thanks for your help today."

Xiao Yi waved her hands repeatedly and said hurriedly, "I didn't really help you with anything, how can I accept your gift? As for the money you tipped me, I can only return a portion of it because the platform takes a cut. I don't have that much money, is that okay?"

Jiang Chuan stuffed the pink LV heart-embossed bag into her arms and said in an undeniable tone, "Do I look like I'm short of that bit of money? There's no reason for me to take back something I've given away. Just take it."

Xiao Yi tried to decline several times but was no match for Jiang Chuan's strength. She had no choice but to accept the gift, clutching the edge of her skirt as she whispered, "Then let me treat you to dinner. It'll help complete the rest of the plan."

Jiang Chuan almost didn't hear her. He pieced together what she said from a few fragments and nodded, "Sure, let's just find a place in the mall."

While the two of them had reconciled and were in the mood for dinner, the internet had already exploded.

After Jiang Chuan's large tips at noon, the Streamer room already had quite a few people. Coupled with the buzz from spending a million on a patek philippe, they had now taken over the trending searches in Deep Sea.

Out of the top three trending topics, two were about them. The moment Jiang Chuan and Xiao Yi looked into each other's eyes had been screenshotted by enthusiastic netizens and was spreading like wildfire online.

[Suspected second-generation rich Jiang Chuan spends millions, publicly professes love to Female Anchor Xiao Yi!]

[The story behind the Top Donor and the Female Anchor!]

[Real-life version of 'The Overbearing President Falls for Me'!]

The fans who were watching the stream at the time went wild, and the discussion threads grew taller and taller.

"Jiang Chuan really is Jiang Chuans secondary! I knew he was coming for Xiao Yi!"

"Oh my god! What kind of idol drama plot is this! It's too sweet!"

"I wonder if Xiao Yi said yes. I'm dying of curiosity!"

"Xiao Yi will definitely say yes! He's so handsome and so rich, what reason is there to refuse!"

"When Jiang Chuan was making that affectionate confession, I wanted to say yes even through the screen!"

The gossip-loving public loved this kind of drama, especially since both parties were very attractive. They were feasting on the gossip in the comments section, feeling it was even better than an idol drama!

Deep Sea Streaming Headquarters

President Chen Ming sat in his executive chair, absent-mindedly eating dinner. Recently, his old rival Competitive Creation had poached two famous top Streamers from him, and he was frowning as he thought about how to retaliate.

"Ring ring~ ring ring~"

Suddenly his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from the Marketing Director. He answered with a somewhat somber tone.

"This better be important!"

"President Chen! Good news! Great news! A Female Anchor in our company has gone viral! The internet is full of news about her right now!"

"Oh? Which Female Anchor? Is it Tian Tian? Or Li Li?" Chen Ming's spirits lifted as he hurriedly asked.

"Neither. It's a small anchor named Xiao Yi, she seems to do shop reviews. You should go take a look quickly."

Chen Ming didn't even answer. He hung up and opened Deep Sea Streaming, finding that the trending searches had indeed been taken over by [Jiang Chuan] and [Xiao Yi].

He read through several posts to understand the full story, then called the Marketing Director back. This time, as soon as the call connected, he gave direct orders.

"Contact Xiao Yi and change her contract. If she agrees to stay with our company, increase the promotion immediately! Buy trending search spots! Maybe this time we can create another top-tier Streamer."

"Understood, President Chen. I'll get on it right away!"
