My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 571 - 563: It Seems You Have Quite the Charm
"Hehe..."
Xiao Qiu’s face stiffened from Xie Baola’s playful tone.
She stiffened her neck and retorted, "So what?"
Was she the only one allowed to like the boss?
She had worked under the boss for so long, she understood him even better than Baola!
Xie Baola pursed her lips, a faint smile spreading across her face, her expression lazy, "That’s useless, because..."
Xie Baola drew out her words, "Chen Jiayan is mine."
Her tone was ambiguous, yet there was a forcefulness as if she was nailing the point home.
She boldly declared her sovereignty.
Xiao Qiu couldn’t help but laugh.
Why was she so sure?
Xiao Qiu said amusingly, "The boss doesn’t belong to anyone; he is his own person, and chasing after the boss like that is useless."
She would just end up disappearing from their company like that woman before!
Xie Baola curved her red lips and asked meaningfully, "Oh? Is that so?"
She tilted her head, looking at the man who had just entered through the door.
Chen Jiayan walked in with one hand in his pocket, his expression cool and detached, not knowing how much of the conversation he had heard.
Xie Baola raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"Chen Jiayan, tell us whether or not you are mine, we did have a kiss a few days ago."
Hearing the name Chen Jiayan, Xiao Qiu’s expression immediately changed.
She turned stiffly, "Boss..."
The young man following Chen Jiayan covered his mouth in surprise, his face showing an expression of having stumbled upon juicy gossip.
He was exhilarated.
The boss had kissed his sister-in-law?
Wow.
This was fast progress.
"Why are you here?" Chen Jiayan asked.
Xie Baola humphed, "Of course, I came to settle scores with you!"
Chen Jiayan didn’t understand her words, "Settle what scores?"
"Don’t tell me you kissed me without any intention of taking responsibility?" Xie Baola asked aggressively.
Chen Jiayan: "..."
"You guys go out first," Chen Jiayan told the other two.
"Boss..."
Xiao Qiu didn’t want to leave.
Who knew what that woman would do to him!
She couldn’t believe the boss had kissed her.
It must have been that woman forcing the boss!
"Stop nagging, just come out with me, don’t disturb the boss and his lady."
The young man dragged Xiao Qiu out.
Xiao Qiu struggled several times but was eventually pulled away.
The guest room door closed.
It completely cut off the outside view.
"Why did you pull me?" Xiao Qiu asked angrily, shaking off his hand.
"That’s their little couple’s flirtation, why are you acting like a third wheel? The boss obviously likes her; you should back off. Have you forgotten that there was a female colleague who confessed to the boss and got fired? If you want to leave the company too, then I won’t stop you!"
In the guest room.
Xie Baola gave Chen Jiayan a playful look, "It seems your female employees quite like you."
"Is that so?" Chen Jiayan replied, seemingly indifferent, "I hadn’t noticed."
He really hadn’t noticed.
He was already too busy, no time to care about others’ feelings.
Not everyone was Xie Baola.
This woman...
Xie Baola sneered, "Seems you have quite the charm."
She didn’t realize how sour her tone was.
"What exactly are you here for?" Chen Jiayan asked patiently again.
"I told you, I came to settle scores."
"...You didn’t sleep well?"
Xie Baola rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed, "So you just don’t want to take responsibility."
Chen Jiayan felt helpless, "Wasn’t it you who kissed me first?"
Xie Baola wasn’t the least bit fazed, "Even if I kissed you first, you kissed me back actively later."
"Good friends don’t kiss like we do; if you don’t want to take responsibility, I’ll just make a scene at your company."
A petulant tone.
Chen Jiayan found it amusing, "Do you really want to make such a fuss that everyone knows?"
Xie Baola shrugged indifferently, "If you want to be a heartbreaker, don’t blame me."
Chen Jiayan asked, "Do you want to have lunch together?"
Xie Baola frowned, "Don’t try to change the subject."
Chen Jiayan calmly said, "Then forget it."
"Let’s!"
Xie Baola was still handled by Chen Jiayan.
Chen Jiayan smiled faintly, "What do you want to eat?"
"Japanese."
"Okay."
Chen Jiayan glanced at his watch.
"I still have some work to finish, you..."
Xie Baola stood up, "Of course I’ll wait in your office, I’m free today anyway."
Chen Jiayan took Xie Baola to his office.
Outside was the office area.
An entire floor of employees watched Chen Jiayan take a woman to his office.
They wanted to see more, but the office door closed from the inside.
"See, the boss treats the sister-in-law completely differently," the young man who followed Chen Jiayan said to Xiao Qiu, "If the boss didn’t like her, he wouldn’t let a woman stay so close to him for so long. And letting someone into his office, have you seen anyone else receive such treatment? You might as well give up."
Xiao Qiu said nothing, only her face looking very sour.
Chen Jiayan’s office was quite bare.
There were, however, quite a few models displayed.
A sense of technology pervaded.
One side of the bookshelf was filled with various books.
"Can I look at these books?"
Xie Baola looked towards Chen Jiayan.
Before Chen Jiayan could say anything, Xie Baola had already picked up a book from the shelf.
Chen Jiayan glanced at her, sat down on an executive chair, and started working on his computer.
Xie Baola sat on the sofa, browsing through the books. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The sound of keyboard typing echoed in the office.
Xie Baola looked up, Chen Jiayan was seriously working, his focus undistracted.
His serious demeanor was captivating.
It struck Xie Baola’s heart.
She couldn’t continue reading.
Xie Baola rested her chin on her hand, watching Chen Jiayan without blinking.
The more she looked, the more charismatic she found this man.
Sitting in this space that belonged to him, even someone as reserved as herself seemed to elevate in status.
Chen Jiayan couldn’t ignore Xie Baola’s gaze, "Do you like what you see?"
Xie Baola replied subconsciously, "Yes."
Chen Jiayan then looked away from the computer to meet her gaze.
She curved her red lips, nodding sincerely, "Indeed, it’s very nice; you should trust my judgment."
Chen Jiayan was speechless, "...Are you reading or playing games?"
Don’t look at him.
"New game," he added.
Xie Baola laughed, "Then I’ll play the game."
Somehow, Xie Baola felt like laughing.
He let her play his new game, giving her an unusual joy.
"Come here."
Xie Baola got up and walked towards him.
Chen Jiayan handed her a tablet, "The game is in here."
Xie Baola walked back and sat on the sofa.
Chen Jiayan placed his hands on the keyboard, paused for a moment, gathered his scattered attention, and continued working.
By the time he finished his work, it was noon.
Chen Jiayan closed the computer.
"Are you done with the game?"
"Give me a few minutes and I’ll beat the game," Xie Baola didn’t even lift her head.
"Okay."
Chen Jiayan didn’t rush her.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Xie Baola had beaten the game.
"Okay! Let’s go!"
