Chapter 1671: Xie Duo Extra (6)_2

Xie Duo nodded, observing her:

"And you? Did you miss me?"

"..."

Yuan Jianyue paused her finger wiping the screen. From her view, it seemed as if her finger was resting on his face, although she was thousands of miles away from Xie Duo. She, naturally, couldn’t touch him, but at that moment, she found herself blushing furiously.

Just as she felt embarrassed and unsure how to respond, there was a knock on Xie Duo’s side. An assistant pushed the door open, "About the client information you asked me to verify earlier, I..."

The assistant probably didn’t expect Xie Duo to be on a video call. They were well aware of his schedule and knew there was no video meeting planned today. Xie Duo rarely made video calls, and since the request was urgent, the assistant rushed to deliver it as soon as it was done.

Xie Duo lowered his head to glance at the screen:

"Can you wait a few minutes?"

His tone was exceedingly gentle, leaving the assistant utterly stunned!

Woc?

What the heck?

What is our young master doing?

But the screen was facing Xie Duo, so the assistant couldn’t see clearly and only heard the other side say, "It’s okay, you go ahead. Should I hang up first?"

Woman!

From the sound, definitely a gentle lady.

Could the boss really have something going on?

"Don’t hang up, just a few minutes."

Yuan Jianyue agreed softly and then fell silent. From her angle, she could clearly see Xie Duo coordinating work with his assistant. They say men are most attractive when they’re working, and this surely seemed true.

After the assistant finished speaking, they tiptoed, trying to catch a glimpse of his computer screen, and Xie Duo lifted his hand to adjust his glasses, smiling as he looked at him:

"Want to see?"

"No, no." The assistant chuckled awkwardly.

"Then why aren’t you leaving?"

The assistant reluctantly left his office, and once out, went nearly mad with disbelief.

Your overtime is for video calls with a girl? Our boss has truly changed.

Xie Duo continued chatting with Yuan Jianyue for a while, discussing a variety of topics and even mentioned Tang Wan’s issue. Recently, there was trouble at her studio; they found animal remains during an exhibition, followed by allegations that her venue’s design plagiarized Yan’s Jewelry. It was a hot topic in Beijing recently.

Yuan Jianyue usually wouldn’t pay much attention to this kind of news but mentioned it to Xie Duo, having met Tang Wan twice.

"They’ll handle their issues themselves. What about you? Any plans for the weekend?"

"A colleague get-together."

...

**

Xie Duo didn’t have time to video call Yuan Jianyue every day. He was busy wrapping up his out-of-town matters before planning to settle in Beijing, which kept him very occupied.

That weekend when Yuan Jianyue was having a get-together with colleagues, she hadn’t been in much contact with Xie Duo for two days except for exchanging morning and goodnight texts on WeChat.

"Yueyue, why are you zoning out?" A colleague nudged her arm, signaling for her to pour wine for the boss.

Yuan Jianyue put away her phone and poured wine for the boss.

"Xiao Yuan, you’ve been with the company for two years now, right?" The boss smiled, "You’ve been doing well, keep it up."

Yuan Jianyue just smiled along. The bosses were just making appearances and left soon after, leaving only office colleagues around, which instantly lightened the atmosphere.

"Keep up the good work?" A colleague mimicked the boss who had just left, "All he knows is how to say empty words. I saw him almost wanting to hold your hand when you poured the wine, Yueyue."

"Yueyue, be careful! Don’t let that old man take advantage of you."

"This guy, I heard he’s very afraid of his wife, doesn’t dare do anything too overboard, but he loves to subtly take advantage of people, shameless old pervert."

...

Yuan Jianyue just smiled.

"Yueyue, you’ve been acting strange lately, always holding onto your phone. Did you find a boyfriend?"

This remark even caught the attention of several male colleagues on the side. They weren’t familiar with Yuan Jianyue’s family situation, knowing only that her parents were out of town, but she lived in her own house in Beijing, and it was rumored her family owned more than one property in Beijing, which certainly piqued the interest of quite a few male colleagues.

Plus, she’s attractive, elegant, gentle, and intellectual. Many people in the company had their eyes on her.

Yuan Jianyue nodded, "I suppose so."

"Who is he? How long have you been seeing each other?" Colleagues around instantly became gossip-hungry.

Yuan Jianyue only mentioned she met him on a blind date and didn’t reveal much more.

This made one of the male colleagues a bit uneasy. Since it was a blind date, it must mean the families are on par and the parents are both in agreement. However, he had liked Yuan Jianyue for a long time and wanted to make a last attempt.

Taking the excuse of the meal ending, he wanted to confess while sending her home.

Yuan Jianyue wasn’t naive; she knew he had some interest in her and naturally didn’t want him to take her home. But two female colleagues also hoped he could give them a lift, practically ushering her into the car.
