Sometimes Deng Fanmin was even glad that Meng Anran had become a vegetable, because then she could live a normal life again. She felt no guilt whatsoever. If Meng's mother had chosen to take her instead of Meng Anran, then everything Meng Anran had now should have been her life. She was just taking back what was rightfully hers.

After Deng Fanmin started working at the company, the person who bought the documents never appeared again. Until recently, that person contacted her again, asking her to obtain the confidential documents for this cooperation project with the military. He promised that if she got them, he would give her enough money to live a carefree life for the rest of her days.

Deng Fanmin was very tempted by the money, and she already resented Han Shi, so she agreed, and that's how the later events happened.

Hearing this news, Han Lingxi sighed and was also a little worried about Jiang Qian. When Han Lingxi inquired about Jiang Qian's current situation, the new secretary told her that Jiang Qian had taken a long leave. Han Lingxi thought that he had probably gone to pursue his old dream of cycling.

Bai Yan's favorability rating remained at 90. The two participated in a game collaboration project together. It was obvious to everyone that Bai Yan had feelings for Han Lingxi, and Bai Yan was very attentive to her. However, Bai Yan never confessed his feelings, and the two remained in an ambiguous state, which Han Lingxi found very puzzling.

Soon it was Han Lingxi's birthday. Just as Han Lingxi was about to cut the cake, the power suddenly went out. There was a murmur in the hall. Suddenly a beam of light shone in a corner, and everyone saw Bai Yan in a suit walking towards Han Lingxi and kneeling on one knee in front of her.

"A year ago, here, you said you didn't want to marry someone you'd barely met because of your elders' wishes. Today, here again, I hope you'll marry me, not because of anyone else, but simply because I love you."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he placed the engagement ring in front of Han Lingxi. His palms were sweating with nervousness, but he still looked at Han Lingxi firmly.

"OK."

Han Lingxi nodded, and everything fell into place naturally.

"Ding! Favorability +10, Total Favorability 100. Congratulations on completing the mission, reward: points, attribute points 10. Would you like to proceed to the next dimension?"

In this situation, Han Lingxi naturally ignored the system and directly disregarded it, extending her hand to let Bai Yan put the ring on her finger.

Bai Yan was probably too excited. His hands were shaking when he was putting the ring on Han Lingxi's finger, and he couldn't get it on no matter what he tried. The more anxious he was, the less he could get it on. Then, Bai Yan accidentally dropped the ring into the cake.

Bai Yan looked at the cake, then at Han Lingxi's empty hands, and looked up at Han Lingxi innocently.

Han Lingxi's eye twitched. What should she do if she suddenly wanted to call off the engagement? She needed help urgently!

The birthday party ended with Bai Yan eating most of the bottom layer of cake by himself.

Bai Yan was intently watching the game in the living room. Han Lingxi waited in the bedroom for a long time but didn't see Bai Yan. Feeling neglected, she was very angry and called out to Bai Yan outside.

"Bai Yan, I want yogurt."

Bai Yan looked at the bedroom door, which was half-open, with a puzzled expression.

"There's some in the refrigerator."

"No, I want you to carry me to the refrigerator."

Han Lingxi said coquettishly, and Bai Yan suddenly smiled slyly, "Hehe, come watch a ball game with me tonight."

"Honey, wait here, I'll bring the refrigerator over to you right away."

Han Lingxi gritted her teeth, "Bai Yan, are you looking for a beating again?" Then she stormed off to the living room.

Then……

Han Lingxi watched the game all night.
