My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 572 - 564: Couples Coming and Going

Xie Baola looped her arm through Chen Jiayan’s.

Chen Jiayan shot her a cool glance and tried to withdraw his hand.

Xie Baola forcefully kept her grip on his arm, not letting him pull away.

Her demeanour was assertive.

"We’re going out like this."

Xie Baola, tugging Chen Jiayan along, led the way. Her brilliant face was suffused with a thick smile.

She intended to declare her sovereignty in front of everyone at his company.

As Chen Jiayan was pulled along, he stared at the back of her head, feeling quite helpless.

As a result, the employees who hadn’t left work watched their boss leave hand-in-hand with a dazzling beauty.

Their silhouettes were intimate.

At that moment, the same thought arose in all of their minds.

——A match made in heaven.

Even from behind, they looked so well-suited for each other.

Xiao Qiu witnessed this scene and her face lost all color.

It wasn’t until they were in the elevator that Xie Baola finally let go of his hand.

Chen Jiayan’s hand found its way back to his pocket. He turned his head, "Did you drive here?"

Xie Baola nodded with a beaming smile, "Yes, let’s take my car later, and I’ll drive you back to the company after dinner."

Chen Jiayan was perplexed, "...You don’t have things to do this afternoon?"

Xie Baola hummed, "Oh, I do. It’s just that today’s business is to keep you company at work."

Chen Jiayan was at a loss for words.

Xie Baola pulled Chen Jiayan over to her car and unlocked it.

She was planning to drive, but Chen Jiayan said, "How about I drive?"

"Sure."

Xie Baola handed him the car keys.

She was still driving her red Ferrari.

Xie Baola turned on the car’s music system, looking blissful and content, as she bobbed her head along with the music from the passenger seat.

Chen Jiayan glanced at her. Was she really that happy?

Looking at the road ahead, Chen Jiayan couldn’t help but let a slight smile tug at the corners of his mouth.

The faint smile was fleeting across his face.

Chen Jiayan took Xie Baola to a Japanese restaurant.

After Xie Baola finished ordering, she rested her cheek in her hand, casually observing Chen Jiayan, "Have you been here before?"

"Came a few times with colleagues."

"Male colleagues?"

Chen Jiayan gave her a sidelong glance, cryptic, "Otherwise?"

Xie Baola slightly narrowed her fox-like eyes, scrutinizing him, "Are you saying there were no female colleagues?"

Impossible, right?

"No."

There weren’t many female employees at his company to begin with.

He certainly didn’t mingle with female colleagues privately.

Chen Jiayan, in fact, used to be immune to women.

Not that he wasn’t liked by the opposite sex.

On the contrary, he was quite favored.

But he felt nothing special toward those women.

His indifferent demeanor often made the women who were fond of him step back.

After giving him the once-over, Xie Baola laughed, "Then I believe you."

Chen Jiayan, "...Thanks."

Xie Baola pursed her lips, "Going out together, people won’t misunderstand you, right?"

Chen Jiayan raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

Xie Baola huffed, "Like the female employees at your company."

"Xie Baola."

Chen Jiayan saying her name, was truly both angered and amused by her, "Are you playing dumb with me right now?"

Xie Baola nodded, then quickly burst into a smile, "Well, since you say so, when will you give me a proper status?"

She tilted up the corners of her mouth, smiling in a leisurely and self-contented manner.

It was obvious that there was no other woman besides her by Chen Jiayan’s side.

Scanning the surroundings, Chen Jiayan’s gaze returned to Xie Baola’s face, "Do you think it’s appropriate to talk about this here?"

"Then where would be appropriate?" Xie Baola said boastfully, "It’s always been me chasing you, now I’m giving you a chance to pursue me."

Chen Jiayan’s brows knit slightly, "Are you so certain I like you?"

Xie Baola nodded without hesitation, "Of course. If you didn’t like me, you wouldn’t have bothered with me."

Chen Jiayan raised his chin slightly, "You’re very confident."

"I do have that confidence."

Xie Baola tapped her fingers on the tabletop and spoke deliberately, "Chen Jiayan, I can wait for you, but I hope you won’t make me wait too long. If it’s too long... I might not have that much patience."

Her words carried significant implications, as if issuing a threat.

Chen Jiayan smiled, barely suppressing his amusement, "Then what else do you want to do?"

Xie Baola arched an eyebrow, looking smug, "Who knows? I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve."

Chen Jiayan laughed, "...Are you a female bandit?"

Xie Baola shook her head, "I’m not, but the Xie Family became wealthy that way back in the day, so I might have inherited it too."

She had extended all her patience to Chen Jiayan.

But patience is finite.

Thinking of something, Xie Baola chuckled lightly, "Or maybe just like Da Pao said, just slip you a ’pill’ and that would do."

Chen Jiayan frowned slightly, his eyes betraying a touch of displeasure, "Don’t listen to Da Pao’s nonsense."

Xie Baola tugged at the corner of her mouth, "I think it’s not a bad strategy."

Chen Jiayan: "..."

He really had never encountered a woman like her.

So he would concede — wouldn’t that do?

Leaving the Japanese restaurant.

Chen Jiayan drove back to Yuanyang Technology.

Xie Baola followed Chen Jiayan back to his office.

The company’s staff were no longer surprised.

In the afternoon, Chen Jiayan was working.

Xie Baola found things to do to pass the time. She wasn’t bored.

Every so often, Chen Jiayan glanced up and saw Xie Baola’s beautiful, slender figure sitting quietly on the sofa, keeping him company.

The once spacious and cold office felt livelier with another person there; even the air seemed more animated.

The surroundings weren’t just cold anymore, there was a subtle warmth.

As Chen Jiayan looked her way, he could feel a warm current passing through his heart.

Watching the woman sitting there, he thought, trying wouldn’t hurt.

How would you know the outcome without trying?

After all, she was truly unique.

Chen Jiayan was clear about his feelings, but it was also the first time he confronted them.

Perhaps he had been lonely for too long and needed someone’s company.

If it was Xie Baola, that seemed pretty good.

"Xie Baola."

"Hmm?"

Hearing him, Xie Baola lifted her head to look his way.

She saw him sitting firmly in the executive chair, his refined face expressing emotions she couldn’t quite discern.

"What’s up?"

Chen Jiayan beckoned to her.

Xie Baola, with her tablet in hand, approached him, "Are you done with work?"

Chen Jiayan looked down, "Are you playing a game?"

"Yes," Xie Baola felt confused, "Why?"

"Hand over the tablet first."

"But I haven’t finished my game yet."

"...Then keep playing."

Xie Baola propped her hands on the desk, gazing at him with an amused smirk, "Do you have something you want to say to me?"

Her fingers were beautiful, long and slender, her skin like creamy porcelain, her nails painted with light pink polish, very pretty.

Chen Jiayan’s gaze moved up to her face, "No, just give me the tablet when you’re done with your game."

Xie Baola quickly finished her game.

Afterwards, Chen Jiayan connected the tablet to the computer.

Xie Baola watched him, puzzled.

What was he up to?
