Seeing Jian Jian’s pitiful expression, Chu Liyuan decided to let her off the hook.
“I agree!” He certainly didn’t have so much time to waste every day on the old couple’s affairs, delaying the precious moments with Jian Jian!
“Then, can we pick them up and bring them back today?”
“Not good!”
Jian Jian always jumped to conclusions; just moments ago, he had been wondering how he could spend a perfect day alone with Jian Jian!
Once those two little devils arrived, his alone time with Jian Jian would be greatly reduced.
“Why?”
“No reason, we’ll pick them up tomorrow!”
Seeing Uncle’s stern appearance, Jian Dan had no choice but to fall silent!
Since Uncle still had some work to finish, Jian Dan waited for him in the office to get off work together.
Sitting on the couch, her right leg crossed over the left, right hand propping her knee and palm supporting her chin, she quietly watched Uncle, who was deeply absorbed in his work.
This was Jian Dan’s first time watching Uncle work so intently, wasn’t it?
She never imagined that Uncle working could look so captivating.
Thinking about how such a handsome Uncle belonged to her, Jian Dan’s heart inexplicably warmed, and a sweet smile unconsciously formed on her lips…
Chu Liyuan, engrossed in his work, felt Jian Jian’s burning gaze and turned to look at her.
Seeing Jian Jian’s infatuated face gazing at him, her eyes filled with pink adoration.
His lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.
Because Jian Dan was somewhat lost in her admiration, she didn’t notice that Uncle was watching her…
A series of urgent phone rings pulled Jian Dan out of her daydreaming state.
She scrambled to answer the call, fearing the ringing would disturb Uncle’s work.
She deliberately lowered her voice, “Hello, what’s up?”
“Jian, why are you speaking so softly?” Yuan Xinjie’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“What’s the matter?” Jian Dan didn’t answer her question.
“I just wanted to ask what I should wear to New E Media for work tomorrow. Are there any dress codes?”
A vein instantly throbbed on Jian Dan’s forehead!
She really had to consult her for this too?
Was she truly being treated like a “mom”?
“No, whatever you like is fine!”
“Oh! Then I got it!”
“Yeah! So, should I hang up now?”
“Wait a sec~”
“What else is there?”
“About the makeup? Any rules on that? Hair color? Thickness?”
“As long as you think it’s okay, it’s fine!” Even if you decided to step out in a swimsuit, as long as you can pull it off, she wouldn’t mind.
“And that…”
“Yuanyuan, New E Media is a very open company, there aren’t any special rules, so just follow what you like, okay?”
“Oh! I got it now, no worries then, see you tomorrow! Bye~”
After hanging up the phone, Jian Dan glanced at Uncle and found him staring at her.
“Uncle, was I speaking too loudly, did I disturb your work?”
“Could it be that Yuan Xinjie has taken a liking to you?” Chu Liyuan narrowed his eyes at Jian Dan.
“Yes!” It was so obvious, come on!
“Hmm?” Seeing Uncle’s look turn somewhat dangerous, Jian Dan immediately realized…
“Uncle, don’t overthink it. Yuanyuan’s orientation is totally normal; her feelings for me are just those between friends!”
Jian Dan was truly afraid that if she didn’t clarify in time, Uncle might go off and do away with Yuanyuan.
Why was his lass so irresistibly likable? He had to guard against men, and he shouldn’t take women lightly either.
“Let’s go home!”
“Uncle, are you done with work?”
“Yes!”
After tidying the things on his desk, he took Jian Jian’s hand and left the office.
As they drove away from Qin Corporation, it started to rain, but it didn’t affect them.
The rain caused a slight traffic jam, and when their car stopped at a crossroad, Jian Dan saw a young couple running past outside the window. The boy held his clothes above their heads, and the girl clung tightly to his waist as they ran through the rain…
This scene captivated Jian Dan’s attention.
These were moments she had only seen on TV, never expecting to witness a live version.
When watching TV, she always found this scene incredibly romantic!
Noticeing Jian Jian’s gaze fixed outside, Uncle followed her line of sight and saw the couple in the rain that Jian Jian was watching.
“Is that man handsome?” Chu Liyuan asked coldly.
“Uncle, what are you thinking? How could there be anyone in the world more handsome than my Uncle?
Don’t you think it’s romantic, Uncle?”
Chu Liyuan’s brows furrowed slightly, “I don’t!”
Romantic? Soaked like two drown rats, where’s the romance in that?
“That’s a little excitement for young couples, it’s no wonder Uncle doesn’t get it!”
Jian Dan’s remark made Chu Liyuan’s brows knit together even tighter…
Was he that old?
