Lin Wan's mind kept replaying Chen Mo's words, "I agree."
Even though she was just pretending, her heart still couldn't help but race.
She knew she shouldn't overthink it.
She is the CEO of Star Technology, handling billions of yuan worth of industry documents every day, and never losing her composure because of a single sentence when dealing with various organizations.
But with Chen Mo, she always acted like a little girl.
Especially just now.
Chen Mo agreed too quickly.
This caused a small thought that Lin Wan had suppressed for a long time to surface uncontrollably.
Does he care about me a little too?
This was enough to make her heart flutter.
"Lin Wan?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Mo noticed that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so he called out to her.
Lin Wan came to her senses.
"Yes, I'm here."
Why aren't you saying anything?
"It's nothing."
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her voice.
"I just didn't expect you to agree so quickly."
Chen Mo leaned against the balcony railing and smiled.
"Since you've already asked, how can I refuse?"
Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat.
She was already twenty-six years old, long past the age of overthinking after hearing just one sentence, yet at this moment, she acted like a favored girl.
She said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, you're making me misunderstand."
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What's the misunderstanding?"
Lin Wan turned her head to look out the car window, where the reflection of her reddened ear tips was visible on the glass.
After a moment, she said softly, "It's nothing."
Chen Mo didn't press further; some things didn't need to be said too explicitly right now.
He's a greedy man; at least for now, he can't lay everything out.
When will your parents arrive?
He steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Lin Wan quickly composed herself.
Next Wednesday.
"What about the investment promotion conference?"
"The opening ceremony will be held next Thursday morning, and County Head Gu will arrange a reception banquet in the evening."
"Will Shen Jiashu come along too?"
"Um."
Lin Wan said, "He should arrive a day early and be on the same flight as my parents."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Then next Wednesday, I'll go with you to pick you up at the airport."
Lin Wan was startled.
"No need, I can go by myself."
"If you're going to pretend, at least make it convincing."
Chen Mo spoke naturally.
"Your parents came all the way to Jiangcheng, and I, as their boyfriend, didn't even show up. That's not appropriate."
Boy friend.
Even if the word "pretend" is added before it.
Lin Wan tensed up for a moment when she heard those three words.
"President Chen got into character very quickly."
"Strong learning ability."
"Do you know what you need to prepare when meeting your parents?"
"material."
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment.
"material?"
"Your parents' personalities, occupations, hobbies, and taboos."
Chen Mo was very serious.
"You need to look at these things in advance."
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Chen, you can be quite humorous sometimes."
The tension I felt earlier gradually dissipated after he interrupted me like that.
"Should I prepare a meeting risk control report for you?"
"Can."
Chen Mo said, "It would be best to include a contingency plan."
Lin Wan finally burst out laughing.
Afterwards, she felt much more at ease.
Chen Mo is still the same Chen Mo.
Calm, humorous, outrageous.
"Okay," Lin Wan said softly, "I'll get it ready for you tonight."
"Don't stay up too late," Chen Mo said. "You've been busy enough these past few days."
Lin Wan's lips curved slightly.
"Is Mr. Chen concerned about me?"
"As a boyfriend, isn't it only right that he shows some concern?"
Lin Wan's breath hitched slightly. She suddenly felt that next Wednesday didn't seem so hard to get through, and she even felt a little bit of anticipation.
The moment this expectation arose, she felt her face burning.
Lin Wan, oh Lin Wan.
When did you become like this?
It's just a charade I'm putting on with you.
What are you so happy about?
But another voice in my heart was very honest.
Pretend it's him too.
It's none other than someone else.
It's Chen Mo.
That alone makes all the difference.
"So, should I get used to being addressed in advance?"
Lin Wan suddenly asked softly.
Chen Mo smiled and asked, "For example?"
Lin Wan wanted to say "boyfriend," but when the words came to her lips, she felt she couldn't bring herself to say them.
She gently traced the edge of the folder with her fingertips, and finally whispered:
"For example... I can't keep calling you General Manager Chen."
"Then what should I call you?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Mo's voice was tinged with laughter.
Lin Wan's ears burned.
"Chen Mo."
She called out softly.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Chen Mo responded.
"Um."
It's very light.
But it made the subtle joy in Lin Wan's heart ripple outwards like the surface of water being blown by the wind.
See you next Wednesday.
She said.
See you next Wednesday.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan did not put it down immediately.
The car has already entered Guanlan Yujing.
She looked at the ended call log on her phone screen, still unable to suppress her smile.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and reopened the folder.
The documents that had initially annoyed her suddenly seemed less daunting.
"Mr. Lin, we've arrived."
The driver reminded him in a low voice.
Lin Wan snapped out of her daze and composed herself.
She pushed open the car door and got out, the night breeze dispelling the heat from her face.
When she walked into the brightly lit Xingchen Technology office area, she had already transformed back into the General Manager Lin in the eyes of outsiders.
Nobody knows.
This Ms. Lin was secretly happy for a long time in her car just now because of the word "boyfriend".
