Chapter 59
He Qingchen signed the document swiftly and then pressed the extension number for Xu Yan's internal line, saying casually, "Order some light dishes for lunch today."
Sitting on the sofa, Jian Xi stole a glance at him, only to be caught red-handed by He Qingchen!
"If you want to look, then look openly. Why not? Should I come sit closer?" he teased her.
Teasing her again!
Jian Xi took out her phone and started playing games, ignoring his remark.
He Qingchen chuckled softly and opened the next document.
The office fell quiet, with only the sound of rustling papers. Jian Xi, afraid of disturbing his work, played her games on mute.
It wasn't until Xu Yan came in with their lunch that there was noise again.
With delicious food in front of them, though light, it still looked appetizing. Jian Xi ate happily, forgetting the awkwardness in the lounge earlier.
After finishing the meal, He Qingchen didn't immediately return to work but chatted with her for a while, telling her, "The driving school has been contacted. Xu Yan has already enrolled you. You can start learning to drive whenever you want." Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
Jian Xi's big eyes blinked twice, "Really? Then I want to go now, I have nothing much to do in the afternoon. If I learn to drive every afternoon after doing fortune-telling in the morning, I can get my driver's license soon and it will be convenient to go out!"
He Qingchen leaned back on the sofa, smiling lazily, "Sure, whatever you want. I'll have Xu Yan take you later."
Jian Xi glanced at the time on her phone, not even noon yet. "Let's wait until 1:30 pm, we should still let people rest during the lunch break." She suddenly felt drowsy and yawned.
"Oh no, you're really turning me into a pig! No, I need to get up and walk around, I can't sleep right after eating!"
Jian Xi stood up and started walking circles around the office to help digestion.
Fortunately, He Qingchen's office was spacious, but he still found her antics amusing, his lips curled into a smile as he watched her circle around.
Finally, on her second lap, he took action, grabbing her and carrying her to the lounge door. He pushed the door open, went in, and tossed her onto the bed, urging her, "Quick, take a nap."
With that, he turned and left without another word.
Jian Xi's face flushed red, shaking her little fists at He Qingchen's retreating back. "He Qingchen, I'm not a child anymore, yet you still carried me! Don't I have any dignity?"
Her heart hadn't completely settled down, still fluttering with palpitations!
Although Jian Xi didn't have much experience in the real world, she was a veteran novelist. This feeling was almost identical to what books described as having feelings for someone!
Just this morning, she had improper thoughts, and by noon, she had confirmed her feelings. Was it too hasty? Should she verify it again?
But what method could give her an accurate conclusion?
She frowned, racking her brain for a while but couldn't figure it out. Helpless, she could only turn to the internet's knowledgeable users for help!
She was already quite skilled with her phone and posted a question online: "How can I tell if I like someone?"
As soon as the post went up, it couldn't get replies instantly. Jian Xi wasn't in a hurry, lying back on the bed, playing games while waiting.
Ten minutes later, her post got its first comment.
[Sister, when you asked this question, didn't you already have the answer in your heart? If you didn't like him, you probably wouldn't even care about this question!]
Immediately after, another comment came in. [The one above is right, sister. If you still want to confirm your feelings, try getting close to him and see if your heart races!]
Jian Xi recalled when He Qingchen leaned close to her earlier, not only did her heart race, it was about to jump out!
Just as she was about to reply that she felt her heart flutter, another comment popped up.
[Sister, don't be shy, kiss him! You'll definitely know if you like him or not then!]
Jian Xi's eyes widened when she saw this comment...
[Wow, bold! I like it, (#^.^#).]
[+1, kissing someone you like is really enjoyable! But don't try it rashly, unless the other person likes you too, otherwise being rejected would be awkward!]
[Why not just confess and see? That way you'll know for sure.]
[Yeah, be a bit more reserved. What if you confirm your feelings are just an illusion after all? Wouldn't you have wasted your first kiss?]
[I agree!]
More comments kept coming in, but Jian Xi's mind was stuck on that one line: [Sister, don't be shy, kiss him! You'll definitely know if you like him or not then!]
