Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Wen Nan smiled at the other party and said, "If there's nothing else, Sister Zhenzhen, I'll be leaving first."

After speaking, he turned and prepared to head to the door.

"Wait!"

Xu Zhenzhen, a bit anxious, raised her hand and instinctively grabbed Wen Nan's arm, not wanting him to leave.

Wen Nan stopped, turned around, looked at his arm being held, and then looked at the woman opposite, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhenzhen withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and began to search hard for a new excuse in her mind, trying to keep the man opposite a little longer.

But after thinking for a long time, she found herself really foolish, unable to come up with any excuse.

The person opposite must find her strange, an utterly bewildering woman inviting a stranger into her house right after a marital upheaval, not knowing what she is trying to achieve.

Yes, what exactly is she trying to achieve?

There was no need for the person opposite to ask her, Xu Zhenzhen was already starting to blame herself—

Asking Ye Jiu to escort her, inviting him to her home, and now reluctant to let him go...

Xu Zhenzhen, what exactly are you doing!

Dapang just left; aren't you supposed to be drowning in grief, unable to extricate yourself? Why are you hopelessly trying to keep a stranger?

Aren't you just attracted by his handsomeness, his gentle speech, his... his body!

Why so degrading!

Xu Zhenzhen berated herself harshly in her heart, biting her lower lip until it bled, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to regain her clarity and calm.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhenzhen finally stepped back half a step, using all her willpower to put distance between them, and then said, "It's nothing, Brother Nine, sorry for the trouble just now, you should, you should go back, don't let it delay your work."

After speaking, Xu Zhenzhen waited for a while, but the person opposite didn't move to leave. She looked up again, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Nan chuckled softly, "Sister Zhenzhen, if you need, I can stay with you a bit longer."

Xu Zhenzhen was momentarily stunned.

The person opposite... actually offered to keep her company?

Rationally, Xu Zhenzhen knew she should refuse, but she couldn't.

She wanted this man to stay so badly, even if just for another minute, she would be content.

It must be that earlier in the car, Heaven heard her prayers and thus helped her.

Heaven took away Dapang but sent such a perfect man to her side; perhaps this was Heaven's favor?

Heaven closed a shabby little door in her life but opened a super-luxurious 360-degree sea view floor-to-ceiling window!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenzhen nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, Brother Nine, have a seat."

Before the words were completely out of her mouth, a system notification sounded in Wen Nan's mind—

9527: [Congratulations, player, "Extremely possessive widowed beauty" key item, exploration progress increased to 36%.]

Wen Nan's eyebrows subtly raised.

If it hadn't been for the moment Xu Zhenzhen grabbed his arm and activated his Mind Reading Technique, Wen Nan wouldn't have known that a young woman recently widowed would have such a rich psychological activity facing a stranger in her home.

Following her thoughts, Wen Nan simply asked one thing and received a sharp rise in exploration progress.

It seems this beautiful widow is easier to conquer than Wen Nan imagined.

Wen Nan conveniently sat on one side of the couch, with Xu Zhenzhen sitting next to him, leaving half a seat's distance between them.

But soon, she also quietly moved a little closer to him, softly saying, "Thank you for buying those things for me earlier. It's getting late; why don't you stay for lunch? I'll cook for you?"

Upon hearing "cook," Wen Nan's mind quickly recalled the mysterious recipe mentioned in this "venomous woman's" introduction.

Seeing the unusual look on Wen Nan's face, Xu Zhenzhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Nan shook his head, just about to say something, when a call came in.

It was from his colleague Zhang Dawei. As soon as he answered, he heard the other's loud voice shouting:

"Where did you go? Get back here quickly! There's a big issue at the office!"

Wen Nan froze, thinking, what could be bigger than the boss dying?

"This isn't something that can be explained in a sentence or two; hurry back." Zhang Dawei said, hanging up directly.

Xu Zhenzhen must have heard Zhang Dawei's loud voice and asked, "Is there something at the company, do you need to hurry back?"

Wen Nan nodded.

Xu Zhenzhen couldn't keep him any longer and thought about it, saying, "Why don't you take my car back to the office?"

Wen Nan smiled, thinking, where's a freshly-met stranger allowed to take the car by the other? This beautiful widow sister probably hasn't been hit by societal hardships and lacks defensiveness.

"No need." Wen Nan refused flatly, "I'll just take a taxi."

Xu Zhenzhen looked out the window, insisting, "Our neighborhood is so big, it takes more than ten minutes to walk out, and it's remote, hard to get a taxi. I see it's raining outside; you probably won't even get a ride-share. Better take my—"

—Ding-dong.

Halfway through her words, the doorbell rang, startling Xu Zhenzhen, who thought, at this time, there shouldn't be anyone visiting. Who could it be?

Xu Zhenzhen walked confusedly toward the door, with Wen Nan, who was about to leave, quickly following her.

The door opened, and a familiar figure appeared outside.

Xu Zhenzhen looked puzzled, "Who are you?"

"Xiao Jun?" Wen Nan was surprised.

Yu Shujun glanced at Xu Zhenzhen, then turned to Wen Nan, "I'm here to drive you back to the office, Mr. Ye."

Seeing the dedicated ride, Xu Zhenzhen didn't say much more, only watched them leave reluctantly.

Inside the elevator, Wen Nan asked, "Why did you come over?"

Yu Shujun replied solemnly, "Your office is in danger."
