Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

It was Saturday, and Zhou Li had the evening off.

Instead of staying home with Zhou Jianguo, I'd rather cook something delicious and take it to visit my maternal grandfather, Jiang Shi, and also strengthen my relationship with my uncle.

Just as she stepped out, the people from the Chen family who were delivering the invitations arrived.

Zhou Liwan took the white invitation card, slowly flipped through it, and then politely nodded to thank the person who had run the errand.

He casually stuffed the invitation into his bag.

When they arrived at Jiang's house, they found out that their maternal grandfather was not there again; he had gone to play golf with his old friends.

During her conversation with the secretaries, Zhou Liwan learned that Shen Nanzhou was now basically managing the Jiang family business, and her maternal grandfather had essentially retired.

I rarely ask about company matters anymore.

After Zhou Liwan shared some snacks with her grandfather's secretary, she headed straight for Shen Nanzhou's office.

My uncle didn't seem too busy today; he was just signing routine documents.

Ding Xiangru was still dressed in a very professional and capable suit, and greeted Zhou Liwan with a polite smile.

Zhou Liwan stood aside without disturbing him, and waited until Shen Nanzhou finished signing before going over to take out the snacks.

Ding Xiangru felt a little embarrassed. Usually, the things that this young lady sent were simply disposed of by the BOSS. Today, she personally delivered them. Wouldn't it be a little upsetting to find out?

Thinking of this, Ding Xiangru couldn't bear to see the little girl's sad expression, but she was reluctant to leave before Shen Nanzhou told her to go out.

She had no choice but to minimize her presence and silently stand behind the man.

Actually, Zhou Liwan didn't know this beforehand. After hearing Ding Xiangru's thoughts, she understood immediately, but she wasn't particularly sad.

After all, Shen Nanzhou wasn't close to her before, so she could understand why he did that.

“I noticed earlier that you don’t like sweets, so this time the pastries aren’t very sweet. Try them.” Zhou Liwan’s eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled.

Shen Nanzhou smiled calmly, his eyes filled with a hint of doting affection, making everyone who saw it feel inexplicably happy.

He stretched out his well-defined knuckles, picked up a piece from the plate, and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, it melted in his mouth and left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.

It's not sweet; it has a light, refreshing aroma and tastes quite good.

A faint smile appeared on Shen Nanzhou's lips as he added, "Very good. Did you make this yourself?"

The girl nodded frantically as if seeking praise, then unconsciously closed the distance between them, standing directly beside the man and introducing him to the different flavors.

This peaceful and heartwarming scene left Ding Xiangru, who was standing behind, speechless with surprise.

Isn't the boss always at odds with this young lady?

What exactly happened? When did these two become so close? And as a woman, I have a feeling that the boss has been talking a lot more since the young lady arrived.

His tone was no longer the authoritative and distant one he used when speaking to them.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiangru's gaze towards Zhou Liwan became somewhat subtle, but after all, the two were uncle and niece, and she was really being too sensitive.

Zhou Liwan smiled faintly, as if suddenly thinking of Ding Xiangru, and quickly turned to call her: "Secretary Ding, you should also try it and see how it tastes. My uncle said it's delicious, I think you will like it too."

Ding Xiangru waved her hand somewhat shyly, but couldn't resist Zhou Liwan's enthusiastic invitation, so she casually picked up a slightly deformed one from the edge of the plate and put it in her mouth: "Delicious. Miss, you have such skillful hands!"

After saying that, he gave Zhou Liwan a thumbs up, which was quite an emotional boost.

Zhou Liwan satisfied herself and tried one, her eyes immediately squinting with happiness.

I really am quite skillful!

Shen Nanzhou noticed Zhou Liwan's smug expression and chuckled, "Alright, you're practically wagging your tail. Go sit down for a bit, I'll look at some documents, and then I'll take you out for a nice lunch."

Zhou Liwan smiled as she tidied up the things on the table, leaving only a small dish where the man could easily find it. Then she nestled on the sofa, eating snacks and playing on her phone.

How pleasant and relaxing!

Seeing that the office had quieted down, Ding Xiangru had no reason to stay any longer and quietly left the office.

Once they were seated, Assistant Han spun his chair over to her side and said, "It's really strange. Usually, the boss would call me in to deal with the things this young lady sends her within a short while, but today there's been no word from her at all. When did the two of them become so close?"

Ding Xiangru recalled the comfortable atmosphere between the two of them and felt a little unhappy. She was too annoyed to pay attention to the man.

When Assistant Han saw that Ding Xiangru hadn't replied for a while, he scratched his nose and awkwardly swiped back. They were all so strange.

The midday heat this season isn't as scorching as it was in previous months, so going outside isn't unbearable.

Shen Nanzhou helped Zhou Liwan with her bag and helped her up from the sofa.

A wave of helplessness washed over me. This girl's legs had gone numb again. With her sitting posture like that, she'd get cervical spine problems sooner or later.

Zhou Liwan shakily supported Shen Nanzhou, the tingling sensation causing her face to contort slightly, and any movement directly stimulated the top of her head.

She gritted her teeth and hugged Shen Nanzhou tightly, pressing against his firm chest muscles, unwilling to move any further: "Uncle, wait, wait a little longer. Let me catch my breath."

In his panic, Shen Nanzhou knocked Zhou Liwan's bag away, and a white card slipped out.

After two or three minutes, Zhou Liwan, who was able to move again, released Shen Nanzhou and smiled apologetically.

Shen Nanzhou wasn't angry. He just glanced helplessly at Zhou Liwan and then helped her pick up her bag.

That's when they discovered the invitation the Chen family had given to Zhou Liwan.

Shen Nanzhou looked at it meaningfully: "Chen Jinghuai's birthday invitation, are you planning to go?"

Zhou Liwan didn't take it to heart and casually said, "Go ahead, after all, it's already been sent over, it would be disrespectful not to go."

Shen Nanzhou frowned, his face full of disapproval: "You should stay as far away from the Chen family as possible. Why did you have to get involved in this mess? Don't tell me you've really fallen for that useless good-for-nothing?"

Hearing Shen Nanzhou call Chen Jinghuai that, Zhou Liwan chuckled and said, "How could that be? My eyes aren't blind. It's just that the play isn't over yet, so I have to feel involved."

As she spoke, Zhou Liwan's eyes grew darker and darker. Her ex-husband, although her death in her past life was not directly related to him.

But he had suffered a lot, so how could she easily forgive him in this second life?

Shen Nanzhou frowned, not understanding what Zhou Liwan meant, but still said in a deep voice, "No matter the reason, you are not allowed to go!"
