Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 77 - 74 Is this progress too fast?

Wen Nan conjured up the attribute panel in his mind, and saw at a glance that the skill [Mind Reading Technique] was in effect.

So, that soft voice just now, was it the inner voice of the big boss?

Outwardly looking cold and distant, but the inner voice is even softer than her chest...

"Let’s call it a day," Guan Ailin’s cool voice rang out, "This report, not a single page is usable, redo the whole thing."

Wen Nan nodded and agreed.

"I’ve always trusted your work in the past," Guan Ailin looked at Wen Nan’s profile, "Tell me honestly, why is it like this this time?"

Wen Nan paused for a moment, then replied as per the little junior sister’s previous suggestion, "Worked too late yesterday, a bit groggy..."

9527: [Attention, target ’Super Extremely Cold Outside but Soft Inside Female Boss’, current strategy level lowered to: -30%.]

Wen Nan: ?

Even that can drop?

As he was thinking, Guan Ailin’s inner voice sounded again:

’Senior brother is indeed the flower protector, even now, still so dutifully taking the blame for the little junior sister.’

’Treats me like a fool, uses me like a boss, but holds the little junior sister like a small flower in the palm of his hand...’

Wen Nan was stunned.

So, from the moment he walked into this office, he had already made a wrong multiple-choice question?

Guan Ailin had known from the beginning that this heap of reports wasn’t his work, and the more he admitted fault as she suggested, the angrier she got.

But since he already took the blame, trying to retract it now might not raise Guan Ailin’s goodwill anymore, it might even nullify all efforts made towards the little junior sister.

This situation, it’s rather tricky to find a solution that satisfies both.

Wen Nan fell into deep thought, while the person beside him coldly said, "Alright, you can leave now. If you haven’t rested well, go back to the dormitory and get some sleep, come back to work when you’re fully rested."

Wen Nan turned his head to look at the delicate profile of the person beside him.

Guan Ailin’s pair of striking eyes were tightly locked onto the computer screen, pulling up emails, ready to start handling work emails.

Not a single extra glance was given to Wen Nan.

Wen Nan stood up, wanting to say "I’ll head off then, don’t want to disturb your work."

However, before the words came out, that voice echoed again,

’I let you go, and you’d really go?’

’Really...not wanting to stay even a second longer?’

The soft voice carried a hint of grievance and sorrow.

This...

Wen Nan had already half stood up, but then sat back down abruptly.

Guan Ailin was startled by the sudden movement of the person beside her, and turned her head to look at him, "What are you doing?"

Wen Nan carefully considered his words, "I feel like, there are some heartfelt things to talk about with you."

9527: [Congratulations, target ’Super Extremely Cold Outside but Soft Inside Female Boss’, current strategy level raised to: -20%!]

Wen Nan: ...

A negative twenty, no need to say it so cheerfully.

But, just one sentence lifted the goodwill level by 10% instantly?

So, the aloof boss who seemingly focuses only on work, deep down just wants him to keep her company?

Things were a lot simpler then.

Starting from this good beginning, his main stage had arrived!

"What do you want to talk about?"

Guan Ailin released the mouse and keyboard, retreating slightly from the desk.

The chair’s wheels made a rolling sound on the ground as she faced Wen Nan directly, propping one hand under her chin, crossing her legs in a manner as if a senior executive was giving a job interview to a newcomer.

A naturally imposing woman, her every movement was full of pressure.

But...

’Heartfelt words? Did he just say he wants to talk heartfelt words? Not work report issues, not junior sister issues, but heartfelt words!’

’He must have some affection for me too, right? Even if just a little.’

’Starting from this little bit, we can develop into a relationship beyond just superior and subordinate, and then gradually establish a romantic relationship from this ambiguous connection...’

Wen Nan: ?

He just mentioned wanting to talk about some heartfelt words, how did it escalate to establishing a romantic relationship?!

That soft inner voice continued to chatter on incessantly, seemingly about to enter indescribable territory, Wen Nan interrupted her train of thought,

"About the earlier report—"

’——Report! Talk about the report!’

’Still about work! Still about junior sister!’

’(>_

’I overthought it, he doesn’t have any such feelings for me at all.’

’How could I have such unrealistic fantasies, thinking there would be a chance with him.’

9527: [Attention, target ’Super Extremely Cold Outside but Soft Inside Female Boss’, current strategy level lowered to: -25%.]

Wen Nan: !

He merely started, only said half a sentence, and the strategy level dropped by 5%?!

Can he take back that half sentence?

"What about the earlier report?" Guan Ailin stared directly into Wen Nan’s eyes, questioning.

Seems it’s too late now.

Wen Nan braced himself to continue, "I wanted to say, I might have indeed made some mistakes that made you unsatisfied, but I’m not deliberately trying to protect anyone out of selfish intentions.

"You are my leader, with hundreds of people in this company under your charge, you certainly understand better than I do the difficulties of leading a team.

"I’m not taking the blame for anyone, if someone on my team made a mistake, it originally is my problem. I didn’t review it properly, didn’t teach them well, this blame, originally is mine.

"Rather than pushing someone below me out, I feel, I would rather come forward myself."

At this point, Wen Nan paused, looking earnestly into Guan Ailin’s eyes again.

’This time, I shouldn’t have misunderstood, right? These words, are they not excusing his team, nor speaking on behalf of his team member, junior sister, but having a heart-to-heart with me?’

’So, in his heart, I am quite special, am I not?’

’In his heart, there should be a slight bit of difference between me and others, even if just a little bit?’

9527: [Congratulations, target ’Super Extremely Cold Outside but Soft Inside Female Boss’, current strategy level raised to: -15%.]

Staring deeply into Guan Ailin’s eyes, Wen Nan earnestly said:

"In my heart, except for myself, there’s no one I can trust to face you alone."

After saying this, the office fell into silence.

A moment later, Guan Ailin replied, "Hmm."

Hmm?

That’s it?

Isn’t that a bit too cold?

However, soon that soft voice sounded again:

’˚*̥(∗*⁰͈꒨⁰͈)*̥ Whoa~’

’Is this a hint or something?’

’Isn’t he saying, I’m the most special to him?’

’He must feel something for me too, right?’

’(｡￫v￩｡)’

’I want to marry him, I can bear him kids!’

Wen Nan: ?

This... Isn’t this progressing a bit too fast?
