Chapter 2 The Tie
We sit at opposite ends of the long table and finish breakfast in silence.
Even Aunt Li notices something's wrong and keeps glancing over.
As we're about to leave, she comes close.
"Madam, aren't you tying Sir's tie today?"
I glance at Xie Nanchen.
"Isn't he already wearing it properly?"
The moment I finish speaking, Xie Nanchen calmly reaches up and deliberately messes up the neat knot.
"Not very good at it. Didn't tie it right."
【I'm dying laughing, the second male lead shot himself in the foot.】
【Amnesia and still trying to get close to the female lead—you're way too in love!】
Under my calm gaze, he looks away and gives a light cough.
"Trouble you."
I hold back a laugh, step forward, and retie it for him.
Seeing his body tense up like this feels kind of fresh.
So I lean in and kiss him very honestly.
Xie Nanchen's pupils shrink. Even his breathing stops.
I move close to his ear and whisper:
"Don't overthink. Just acting."
Xie Nanchen: "…Mm."
After we leave, the barrage explodes.
【Acting natural on the surface, but actually nervous like a teenage boy.】
【Second male lead, you're the president—why are you smiling so stupidly!】
【Female lead: just breathing. Second male lead: master of seduction.】
【Second male lead is in such a good mood he didn't even scold the manager who made a rookie mistake. God, you've been married three years—do you have to be this innocent!】
【Relax, he won't be smiling soon. Because the male lead Gu Yu is coming back tonight.】
At the same time, a strange text pops up on my phone.
[Shen Ying, can we meet?]
