Han Lin walked into the room and threw a clean shirt onto the bed. "Put your clothes on first."

Upon seeing Han Lin, Qi Huan's expression suddenly turned tense. She gently lifted the blanket slightly, looked at her body, and then angrily demanded, "What exactly did you do to me?"

"What did I do to you? Don't you know what's going on between men and women?" Han Lin enjoyed Qi Huan's angry expression.

"You shameless!" Qi Huan cursed.

"Alright, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress. Besides, I'm not interested in you right now." Han Lin leaned against the door frame, staring at Qi Huan with disdain.

Hearing Han Lin's words, Qi Huan's mood calmed down a little. "Where is this place?"

"This is my home. If it weren't for yesterday's dinner party, I wouldn't have known that the goddess could hold her liquor so well." A strange smile appeared on Han Lin's lips.

"You can go out now, I need to change my clothes." Qi Huan frowned and urged him.

"Okay, you can change at your own pace. After you're done changing, I have something good to show you that I think you'll be interested in." With that, Han Lin turned and left the room.

Qi Huan watched Han Lin's retreating figure, unable to fathom what thoughts were lurking in his mind. Thinking this, Qi Huan quickened her pace. She tossed the shirt aside, found her own clothes by the bed, changed, and left the room.

"You've changed your clothes so quickly?" Han Lin glanced at Qi Huan as she walked out of the room. "Why aren't you wearing the shirt I gave you? Your clothes aren't very clean."

"It's nothing," Qi Huan replied casually.

"Sit down and have breakfast first." Han Lin sat down at the dining table, tapped the plate next to him lightly with his knife, and invited Qi Huan to sit down and have breakfast together.

"No, I have something to do." Qi Huan refused Han Lin's offer without hesitation and turned to walk towards the door.

Han Lin didn't try to stop him, but just smiled and said, "Is it so hard to invite you to breakfast with me? But it's okay. I endured all kinds of humiliation in college. This is nothing to me now."

Qi Huan heard Han Lin's words and understood what he meant. However, Qi Huan had no intention of responding to Han Lin. Just as Han Lin was speaking, Qi Huan's hand had already touched the doorknob.

"Qi Huan, you might not have heard what I said to you in the room clearly." Han Lin, with his back to Qi Huan, curled up a sinister smile. "I have something here that will interest you. You'll definitely regret it if you don't listen."

Qi Huan hesitated for a moment, but after a short while, the doorknob turned.

"Sima Chu, you missed seeing him this time, don't you think it's a pity?" Han Lin's knife kept cutting the eggs on the plate, making a screeching sound.

Qi Huan stopped completely when she heard the name Sima Chu. Han Lin smiled, picked up his phone, and opened an audio file stored on it. A moment later, familiar voices came from the phone.

"Xiao Chu, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I didn't mean it, I had my reasons..."

Upon hearing the recording, Qi Huan was struck dumb, frozen in place at the doorway. She knew that voice all too well; it was her own voice.

The recording is still ongoing...

"Look at me, I'm Xiao Chu. What did you do to offend me back then?"

That voice? Yes, it was Han Lin's voice! Qi Huan clenched his fists, itching to punch Han Lin in the face the next second. That bastard Han Lin, he actually tried to trick Qi Huan into revealing information while he was drunk.

“I shouldn’t have stolen your research data…” At this moment, Han Lin suddenly pressed the pause button on his phone. Han Lin smiled, stood up from his chair, walked to Qi Huan’s side, and gently patted Qi Huan’s shoulder.

"Why don't you sit down and have breakfast with me?" Han Lin slowly brought his head close to Qi Huan's ear and whispered these words.

Qi Huan seemed completely powerless to resist, her body following Han Lin's force as she sat down at the dining table. A smug smile appeared on Han Lin's lips. He picked up the knife and fork in front of Qi Huan and gently handed them to her. Qi Huan held the knife and fork, falling into a long silence.

Han Lin sat down opposite Qi Huan, his eyes still observing the changes in Qi Huan's facial expressions. After a moment of silence, Qi Huan finally lost her temper and slammed her knife and fork onto the plate with a clatter.

"What exactly do you want?" Qi Huan stared angrily at Han Lin.

"How come you've grown so much more temperamental after being abroad for a few years? This isn't the Qi Huan I know. You were so decisive and resolute when you rejected me. What happened to you now?" Han Lin thoroughly enjoyed the current situation, like a wolf eyeing a lame rabbit.

"So you're still holding a grudge about that matter." Qi Huan looked at Han Lin and sneered.

"Of course! When I proposed to you, I prepared so much for you, and you dared to treat me like this!" Han Lin's expression turned angry, and he slammed the fork in his hand onto the plate with a loud thud. However, Han Lin's expression quickly returned to calm.

Qi Huan looked at Han Lin and chuckled contemptuously, then said, "Do you want to know why I treated you that way back then?"

Upon hearing Qi Huan's words, Han Lin's expression changed, and he looked at Qi Huan with a face full of doubt, seeking an answer.

“During that theft, five hundred yuan was clearly stolen.” Qi Huan didn’t want to waste any more time with Han Lin and directly stated her reason.

Han Lin's brows twitched, and he frowned without answering.

"Did I hit the nail on the head?" The roles seemed to have been briefly reversed, and now it was Qi Huan's turn to appreciate the flickering expressions on Han Lin's face. But soon, Han Lin realized his absolute advantage.

The recording on the phone continued playing, and Qi Huan's own voice entered her ears. Qi Huan shook her head, trying to reach for Han Lin's phone. However, Han Lin already had the phone in his hand.

"Tell me, what do you really want?" Qi Huan finally calmed down and stared into Han Lin's greedy eyes.

"What I want isn't much to you. I heard you're planning to invest in a restaurant, and I happen to be unemployed recently. So I'm thinking of becoming the manager of your restaurant. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?" Han Lin looked at the knife and fork in his hand, then glanced at Qi Huan and smiled.

Qi Huan stared at Han Lin for a while, then nodded reluctantly. Just as Qi Huan was about to get up and leave, Han Lin walked over to her and pulled her back into her chair.
