After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 373 - 371: Still Not Giving Up?

If it had been before, Xu Zhenzhen would have definitely believed it.

She might even have tactfully left the office, leaving them some private space.

But since yesterday when she found out that Liu Xiaozhen relied on this tactic to cut off Xia Wenqing’s romantic opportunities, she was quite annoyed.

Because she was one of those romantic opportunities!

Xia Wenqing furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at the lunch box Liu Xiaozhen brought, clearly more wary of her.

He rarely paid attention to what Liu Xiaozhen came to his office to say or do.

In his eyes, Liu Xiaozhen was just a classmate or a work colleague.

Their interactions were also limited to work-related matters.

But now she was quietly adding some seemingly trivial details, which now seemed... fatal.

He and Liu Xiaozhen had nothing going on, yet she came to him with a lunch box early in the morning; anyone who didn’t know better might think there was something...

Xia Wenqing thought this, then turned his head to look at Xu Zhenzhen.

It was almost as if he had "help me" written on his forehead.

Xu Zhenzhen had never seen Xia Wenqing like this before. In the heat of the moment, she directly stepped between the two.

"Lawyer Liu, our Lawyer Xia doesn’t eat these things. If you really want to give them away, there are plenty of colleagues outside who haven’t had breakfast yet. Shall I take it to them?"

Xu Zhenzhen tugged at the corner of her mouth, giving her a fake smile that couldn’t have been any faker.

Liu Xiaozhen didn’t expect Xu Zhenzhen to say that, and her hands holding the lunch box visibly trembled.

She forced a smile and said to Xia Wenqing, "Wenqing, I brought this breakfast for you, you decide."

In the past, Xia Wenqing would not have cared about these things and would have let her put it aside. Once she left without the lunch box, people outside would automatically fill in the blanks.

Liu Xiaozhen had calculated well, but unfortunately, she didn’t know that the current Xia Wenqing had already received thorough guidance from several "Mistress Identifying Masters."

His ability to spot a fake had improved dramatically.

So, he glanced at Liu Xiaozhen and said indifferently, "Zhenzhen has the final say on this. Please discuss it with her."

He decisively pushed the matter onto Xu Zhenzhen.

Seeing Xu Zhenzhen’s geared up appearance, he naturally stepped back to let the capable take over.

"Did you hear that, Lawyer Liu?" Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes suddenly smiled, "Give me the lunch box, my desk mate Secretary Wang hasn’t had time for breakfast yet, and he probably wouldn’t mind."

"..."

Liu Xiaozhen was so angry she almost clenched her teeth until they shattered, but especially in front of Xia Wenqing, she couldn’t lose her composure.

She could only sigh lightly, "It’s all stuff that Wenqing likes to eat, it’s a bit of a pity."

"Is that so?" Xu Zhenzhen looked at Liu Xiaozhen with slightly mocking eyes, "I really didn’t expect that Lawyer Liu would know our Lawyer Xia’s preferences so well, quite attentive indeed."

Previously, not knowing the relationship between Liu Xiaozhen and Xia Wenqing, each of her words could easily sting her.

Now that Liu Xiaozhen’s facade had been stripped away, Xu Zhenzhen could successfully get through all the traps in her words.

She looked at Liu Xiaozhen with a sneer, saying quite seriously, "Since Lawyer Liu is here for a company collaboration, please formally address our Lawyer Xia. Stop calling him Wenqing, Wenqing... people who don’t know might think our Lawyer Xia is your boyfriend~"

"..."

Liu Xiaozhen’s face turned slightly pale.

She wondered how Xu Zhenzhen looked different from before, was it because she already knew there was nothing between her and Xia Wenqing?

How did she find out?

Liu Xiaozhen furrowed her brows, considering where she might have slipped up.

Xu Zhenzhen observed Liu Xiaozhen’s guilty demeanor, and her scorn for Liu Xiaozhen deepened.

How blind had she been in the past to have been deceived by Liu Xiaozhen to such an extent?

Silent, Liu Xiaozhen could only seek help from Xia Wenqing with her eyes.

If he said something, at least she wouldn’t feel too awkward.

But Xia Wenqing seemed completely oblivious to her expression, instead, he nodded in approval, "Zhenzhen is right, since it’s about work, we should really be earnest. Otherwise, it’s easy for professionalism to be questioned."

Xia Wenqing’s words sounded like he prioritized work above all else.

This made it impossible for Liu Xiaozhen to divert the conversation elsewhere.

She clenched her teeth resignedly, "I understand, Lawyer Xia. I’ll be more careful in the future. About this breakfast..."

"Give it to Zhenzhen. Let her take it outside; such things shouldn’t be in the office," said Xia Wenqing, his tone light but his words indisputable.

Liu Xiaozhen had no choice but to stiffly hand the lunch box to Xu Zhenzhen, thinking she would surely just take it and leave.

Leaving her and Xia Wenqing alone, where she could find an opportunity to make amends.

However, Liu Xiaozhen didn’t expect that Xu Zhenzhen, after taking the lunch box, showed no intention of leaving.

Instead, she stood in front of Xia Wenqing like a guardian deity.

The muscles on her face involuntarily twitched as she forcefully suppressed the irritation in her heart and said to Xu Zhenzhen, "Secretary Xu, aren’t you going to take the lunch box outside?"

She said this while deliberately looking at Xia Wenqing.

Xu Zhenzhen had always been obedient to Xia Wenqing’s words; he had just said that lunch boxes shouldn’t be in the office, so she should immediately take it outside.

Why wasn’t she moving?

Of course, Xia Wenqing didn’t know what Xu Zhenzhen was planning, so his gaze also turned to her.

If it were before, Xu Zhenzhen would have surely completed the task immediately.

But now, with Liu Xiaozhen around and her watchful eye on Xia Wenqing, there was no way she would allow her to spend time alone with Xia Wenqing!

At that moment, Xia Wenqing seemed to recall what Xia Wenyan and Lu Zhaozhao had said before.

Never be alone in a room with someone who’s not a romantic interest!

He reached out and tugged gently at Xu Zhenzhen’s sleeve, saying, "You can take that outside in a bit. Let’s get the work done first."

Just as Xu Zhenzhen was searching for an excuse to stay, Xia Wenqing handed one to her.

Naturally, she eagerly took over the conversation, "Alright, Lawyer Xia. I’ll just place the lunch box by the coffee machine."

After saying that, Xu Zhenzhen swiftly moved the items and then hurried back.

It seemed as if she was afraid that once she turned her back, Liu Xiaozhen would devour Xia Wenqing.

Xia Wenqing could naturally see Xu Zhenzhen’s "caution."

Seeing her rushing about, his entire heart softened, and even his gaze towards Xu Zhenzhen became indulgent.

Liu Xiaozhen caught a glimpse unintentionally and was immediately drenched in a cold sweat.

Xia Wenqing was still not over Xu Zhenzhen?

Tension gripped Liu Xiaozhen, recalling all the effort it had taken her to separate them. Now, after such a short reunion, Xia Wenqing was...

With her brows deeply furrowed, Liu Xiaozhen immediately interrupted the harmonious atmosphere between them...
