Xie Changning noticed Jerry's nervousness. She smiled and said, "Why so tense? It's not like this is our first time working together."
She was always very patient with her long-term partners.
After all, everything was open to discussion.
"I'm not tense," Jerry denied.
He used to be afraid she'd beat him up. Now, he was worried she'd think he wasn't sincere about the partnership and refuse to work with him.
Jerry had come to realize that this woman, Xie Changning, was his benefactor, but also his nemesis.
'Back in the United States, I was a notoriously spoiled heir!'
'When have I ever been so meek in front of someone else!?'
'Only for Xie Changning!'
'It's only ever Xie Changning! Hmph!'
As he thought this, his gaze toward Xie Changning became tinged with a hint of reproach.
Sensing his gaze, Xie Changning raised an eyebrow. "Alright, you're not tense."
