My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 566 - 558 Intentions

Chen Jiayan stood, facing her.

His gaze was direct.

"Or else what?"

"I don’t believe it." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Don’t overthink it."

Xie Baola snorted, "I won’t take away these snacks. If I want to eat, I’ll come to your house."

Chen Jiayan laughed, his smile light, not meaning anything particular, just finding it amusing.

"How can you say that so matter-of-factly?"

Xie Baola said with a smile, "Because we are better than friends, good friends."

Chen Jiayan: "..."

"Do you want to be friends with me that much?"

Xie Baola shook her head, "Of course... not."

Chen Jiayan raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

"I want to be that kind of friend who is closer to you," Xie Baola said in an ambiguous tone.

"What kind is that?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend."

Chen Jiayan: "..."

Chen Jiayan didn’t continue on that topic but shifted to another, "Have you had lunch?"

Xie Baola shook her head, "Not yet, I came over as soon as I got your message. I was afraid you might throw away my snacks if I didn’t."

"I wouldn’t do that."

What did she take him for?

Xie Baola was puzzled, "Then why on earth did you ask me to take all the snacks?"

Chen Jiayan still didn’t answer her question but asked instead, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Xie Baola’s eyes lit up immediately, "Are you going to cook for me?"

Chen Jiayan nonchalantly, "No, I haven’t eaten either, and I am going to make lunch."

Hmph.

This man must want to have lunch with her, hence deliberately used the snacks as an excuse to call her over, right?

Otherwise, she couldn’t figure out Chen Jiayan’s intentions.

Xie Baola laughingly said, "I’ll eat whatever you cook."

"Alright, before that you can snack on something."

"Oh."

Chen Jiayan went to the kitchen.

Xie Baola pulled out a bag of spicy strips from under the coffee table and tore it open.

Seeing Chen Jiayan’s busy figure, Xie Baola walked towards him.

"Chen Jiayan."

Xie Baola stood at the kitchen doorway.

Chen Jiayan turned his head to look at her, "Hmm?"

Xie Baola squinted, sizing him up, "Did you use that excuse on purpose to call me over?"

Chen Jiayan paused, then countered, "What do you think?"

"I think yes!"

Xie Baola stated emphatically.

Chen Jiayan chuckled but said nothing.

His ambiguous attitude made Xie Baola scratch her head.

But Xie Baola trusted her gut feeling.

It was like she was talking to herself, "You have the day off work today, probably felt bored alone. You didn’t want to eat lunch alone, so you used it as an excuse to call me over, admit it..."

She drew out the last word.

Meaningly.

Chen Jiayan confused, "Admit what?"

Xie Baola clicked her tongue, "Admit that you have a crush on me."

"No, aren’t you my good friend? It’s normal to invite a good friend over for a meal."

Chen Jiayan said indifferently, "Don’t overthink it."

Xie Baola: "..."

This man really had a tough shell.

His mouth must be the toughest part of him.

"But your sudden actions really make it hard for me not to overthink."

"Thinking less would be more relaxing."

Xie Baola snorted lightly and held the spicy strip to his mouth, "Do you want some?"

"I don’t like them."

Xie Baola nodded, "Mmm, I figured."

"I’m going to start cooking now; you should go sit in the living room."

"Oh, then I’ll wait for you."

Chen Jiayan’s lunch was rather simple.

But he made three dishes.

Seeing this, Xie Baola’s smile deepened.

It seemed he indeed had premeditated bringing her over.

When Chen Jiayan was about to start eating, Xie Baola stopped him, "Wait a minute!"

"What?"

"Let me take a photo first."

Chen Jiayan: "..."

Xie Baola said, "Of course, I have to photograph the meal my good friend made."

Xie Baola emphasized the words "good friend."

Chen Jiayan withdrew his hands, "As long as you like it."

After Xie Baola took the photo and put down her phone, she said, "Alright, let’s eat!"

Chen Jiayan, watching her, suddenly felt that the liveliness in the house seemed much better than the previous solitude.

Had he been lonely for too many years, so it took so long to finally decide to find someone to accompany him?

He seemed not to mind Xie Baola’s presence.

Or the noise she brought with her.

He hadn’t gone to the office today but still woke up at the usual time as if going to work.

Upon waking, he found nothing to do.

The house was eerily quiet, so silent that one could probably hear a pin drop.

He even felt somewhat uneasy with the quiet.

Chen Jiayan thought of Xie Baola in a fleeting moment.

So, after the meal, it was still Chen Jiayan who cleared the table and washed the dishes.

Xie Baola comfortably lay on the couch.

Seeing Chen Jiayan coming from the kitchen, Xie Baola sat up and made room for him to sit.

"Having you as a friend is really blissful. Getting to eat without lifting a finger. How about I come over for meals every day?"

Chen Jiayan sat down, "I don’t get to take time off work every day, only today."

He was dressed casually at home, the wide-legged trousers accentuating his long legs.

His oversized T-shirt looked rather languid.

"I can also come to your office for meals, we are always meal partners, aren’t we?"

"Don’t you have to write your screenplay?"

"That... I have mostly finished it. I’ll show it to Xixi and the others later, just some final edits."

"That sounds quite troublesome."

"It’s okay, finding the male lead is the actual issue."

"Didn’t you mention inviting Jiang Yongge last time?"

"He is a Movie King after all. My script focuses on the female lead. His status is too high, I would rather have a newcomer."

Xie Baola shook her head, "But finding the suitable actor, especially, depends on fate. Just have to take it slow."

The screenplay was already written.

The biggest hurdle had been crossed; choosing the male lead couldn’t be harder than writing a script.

Moreover, to pair with Qiao Xi and Su Tutu, being the male lead in "Twin Sisters" was also a stroke of luck.

Her best friend was, after all, a Movie Queen.

"I won’t bother you with this anymore. You probably hear enough work reports at your job. Let’s talk about something else?"

Actually, Chen Jiayan quite liked hearing her talk about these things.

It made this cold house feel lively.

"Talk about what else?"

"Talk about..."

Xie Baola dragged out the word.

"The intentions behind your excuse to call me over here."

Chen Jiayan looked at her, his eyes shining like stars, "No intentions, just inviting a good friend over for a meal. What intentions could there be?"

Hmph.

Truly a good friend.

Seeing Chen Jiayan still wanted to gloss over things, Xie Baola was at a loss for words.
