My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 575 - 567

Chen Jiayan’s brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the tightly shut door, his temples lightly pulsing with irritation.

He turned on his laptop and continued with the work he hadn’t finished yet.

However, his attention was now scattered and he couldn’t focus.

This only added to his irritation.

At that moment, a sudden knock on the door came from outside.

Chen Jiayan’s eyes flickered, wondering if it was Xie Baola who had returned.

But as soon as this thought emerged, he suppressed it.

How could Xie Baola possibly come back?

After chasing him for so long, even up to today, her enthusiasm must have waned a bit.

Chen Jiayan called out, "Come in."

When the person entered with a report in hand, they felt the boss’s expression was even grimmer than before.

Thinking about how his sister-in-law had left with a not-so-great look on her face,

That spelled trouble.

Had he chosen the wrong time to come?

With a lift of his eyes and an icy gaze, Chen Jiayan looked at the person who had just disrupted his good time and said coldly, "Is something the matter?"

"Boss, there’s a detail here I need you to look at."

"Bring it here."

As Xie Baola left Yuanyang Technology, there were no shortage of whispers about her behind her back.

She turned a deaf ear to them all. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Arriving at the parking lot and getting into her car, she was about to start the car and leave when she paused and pulled out the car key.

She wouldn’t leave!

Why should she leave when Chen Jiayan had angered her?

Xie Baola took out her phone and sent a barrage of complaints to Su Tutu.

[Xie Baola: Can you even believe there’s still such a conservative man these days?]

[Xie Baola: Even though we’ve established we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, he still doesn’t want to do what boyfriends and girlfriends should do.]

Su Tutu, catching a whiff of gossip, replied very quickly: [Is that Chen Jiayan you’re talking about?]

Oh, when she thought about it, Chen Jiayan was the only possibility.

Su Tutu retracted her message.

Xie Baola: "..."

Su Tutu thought about how Xie Baola came to vent to her instead of talking to Qiao Xi, so it must be because discussing with Qiao Xi might affect her and Chen Jiayan’s standing.

She really had come to the right person.

Su Tutu loved gossiping the most.

Su Tutu started typing feverishly and sent: [Sis, is it possible that Chen Jiayan is just shy?]

[Su Tutu: Or could it be, he’s just that conservative?]

From the few times Su Tutu had met Chen Jiayan, she felt he was that kind of person.

It had to be said, Su Tutu’s analysis seemed very reasonable.

Xie Baola pondered over these words.

Was that really the case?

But in her mind, once there was mutual liking, the relationship should grow more intimate.

Shouldn’t just a glance, a beckoning be enough to further things?

Why delay joyous occasions?

That’s how it had been with her ex-boyfriends.

But when it came to Chen Jiayan, Xie Baola felt like what Su Tutu said made a lot of sense.

Su Tutu continued analyzing: [Think about it, you’ve pursued Chen Jiayan for so long, and it took so long for him to agree to you. It’s clear that he’s not someone who plays with feelings. On the contrary, he’s very serious, and perhaps he has some old-fashioned thoughts, so he didn’t start easily with you.]

But if it started, it would never end.

He was cautious, then cautious some more.

Su Tutu could sense a hint of something brewing: [So, does that mean you and Chen Jiayan have made it official?]

Made it official?

Indeed!

But the thought of Chen Jiayan’s attitude just now made Xie Baola deny it outright: [We haven’t made it official yet!]

[Su Tutu: Then everything you said earlier was just your imagination?]

[Xie Baola: Not entirely; it also has something to do with my script, so I wanted to ask you about it.]

[Su Tutu: Ah...]

She didn’t know what to say.

Su Tutu backspaced and sent one final remark: [Anyway, you should still get Chen Jiayan first before anything else. Even if you’re thinking of sleeping with him, you should be subtle about it. Don’t let the duck you’ve caught fly away.]

[Xie Baola: ojbk.]

Understood.

However, she certainly wouldn’t let the duck she’d caught fly away.

Xie Baola glanced at the time; it was nearing the end of Chen Jiayan’s workday.

Xie Baola reclined her seat, lying down while taking out her phone to play and wait for Chen Jiayan to get off work.

Yuanyang Technology paid its programmers well, hence there were quite many staff members with cars.

During after-work hours, the parking lot started bustling.

Xie Baola looked out but didn’t see Chen Jiayan’s figure.

She continued playing her game.

Chen Jiayan walked out of the elevator alone, phone in hand.

He was about to call Xie Baola when someone called out to him, "Boss!"

Chen Jiayan turned around and saw Xiao Qiu.

Xie Baola also heard the voice.

She rolled down the window and spotted Chen Jiayan’s tall figure.

The light from the phone illuminated his handsome face.

The phone screen went dark from inactivity.

Xie Baola couldn’t see Chen Jiayan’s face clearly anymore.

But she heard his signature icy voice, "What’s up?"

"Boss, there’s a new Western restaurant that just opened across from our company. I was hoping to treat you to dinner, would that be okay?" Xiao Qiu asked shyly.

Xie Baola’s eyes narrowed abruptly.

Xiao Qiu even dared to have designs on Chen Jiayan?

Xie Baola pushed open her car door, about to step out, but then paused; she wanted to hear what Chen Jiayan would say.

Chen Jiayan’s voice was indifferent, "No, I’m afraid my girlfriend would be upset."

Xiao Qiu was surprised, "You really have a girlfriend, boss?"

"Yep, you met her earlier today."

With a slight nod, Chen Jiayan turned to walk away.

Xiao Qiu rushed forward, eager to confess, "Boss, I like you. I came to Yuanyang Technology just for you. You..."

"Sorry, I already have a girlfriend," Chen Jiayan interrupted coldly.

Xie Baola felt it was her time to make an entrance.

She stepped out of the car.

The crisp sound of her high heels echoed.

That sound carried a familiarity, and Chen Jiayan looked toward its source and, true to form, saw Xie Baola.

"You haven’t left?"

Chen Jiayan’s voice carried a trace of surprise, the irritation in his heart seemingly smoothed over.

Xie Baola walked towards him and hooked his arm, smiling at him, "When did I say that I left?"

Chen Jiayan’s lips twitched, "I was just about to call you."

Xie Baola huffed, "But what I saw didn’t seem to be the case."

Xie Baola gave Xiao Qiu a glance, her expression composed as if she didn’t see the girl who had just confessed to her boyfriend as a threat.

There’s a certain energy between women.

Like a silent hostility that flows unnoticed by men, but among women, it courses vividly.

Xiao Qiu, seeing the woman who brazenly stood beside Chen Jiayan, felt utterly defeated.

She could never compare to someone like Xie Baola.

In that moment, she felt deeply ashamed.

As if her feelings were exposed, along with her self-esteem, laid bare.

Her affections for Chen Jiayan now seemed like a joke.
