Yi'an did not see this as a condemnation at all; on the contrary, she regarded it as an affirmation of her life.

"You flatter me. But to be honest, your acting skills are really nothing to brag about."

He stood up abruptly. "If you want me to stay, I won't say anything. Goodbye, Miss Su."

Yi An left gracefully, leaving Su Yan with only this sentence and a cold, indifferent back view.

However, this cold and indifferent demeanor didn't last long before it crumbled.

As Yi An stepped out of the coffee shop and opened the car door, her legs felt a little weak.

When did he become so reliant on acting skills? Hasn't he always relied on his looks to make a living?

Zhao Bo: Bro, are you sure you can afford this?

Yi'an sat in the car seat, feeling extremely uneasy.

"We can't let them see through us, can we?"

Another person who was equally uneasy was Sun Yinyao.

She was sitting not far from Su Yan and the others, but because the two were speaking softly, only a faint trace of their voices reached her.

She watched Yi An's departing figure, unsure whether he had succeeded or failed, and could only guess in silence.

After Yi An left, Su Yan didn't rush to leave. Instead, she leisurely finished her coffee before casually walking back.

"See! Isn't it just like I said! I told you I wasn't lying to you, why didn't you believe me!"

Sun Yinyao appeared to be questioning someone, but in reality, she was taking the opportunity to sized her up.

She tried hard to find clues in Su Yan's expression to deduce the success or failure of their conversation.

Unfortunately, Su Yan had already done everything perfectly.

She gained nothing, only a forced, false bravado.

Su Yan's scrutinizing gaze lingered on her face for about a second or two before quickly shifting away.

“Ms. Sun, please forgive my impetuousness. But in any case, this cooperation has failed, and I will refund your deposit in full.”

Sun Yinyao breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

She fully utilized her acting skills, slamming her hand on the table and angrily standing up.

"I really misjudged you. You've wasted so much of my time and feelings. Can you afford to make up for it?"

Goodbye! And hopefully never to be seen again!

She was very emotional; she grabbed her bag, and without giving Su Yan a chance to speak again, she left.

As she walked out of the coffee shop, she was still regretting whether her harsh words had been too absolute, leaving no way out at all.

Sun Yinyao walked out of the coffee shop in frustration. Just as she was about to turn the corner, a car stopped in front of her.

She looked up and saw the person who had rolled down the car window, and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother?!"

Yi An looked somewhat nervous. He glanced around and quickly ordered, "Get in the car quickly."

Once the car was far away from the coffee shop, it was parked on the side of the road.

"Luckily, she suddenly asked me out. I had a bad feeling about it, so I called you beforehand, otherwise I would have been exposed today."

After feeling relieved, Sun Yinyao thought about her words and actions and felt guilty. "But brother, I think I messed up. Your perfect plan may be ruined by me."

"Not necessarily."

"That's not necessarily true! She already told me that the mission failed and she'll refund my money!"

Yi An pondered her words carefully. "Someone as strong-willed as her, do you think she would allow herself to have a single failure in her undefeated record?"

Sun Yinyao sat up straight. "What do you mean? Didn't she already tell me everything..."
