Since she couldn't rely on the big boss, she had no choice but to save herself. It was also her fault for boasting to Xu Moran a few times and succeeding each time, which made her arrogant and ignorant of her own limitations. Look, this time, she's blown her own horn.
She swallowed again, forcing herself to look into Xu Moran's eyes.
As a master's graduate from a prestigious university, he already had a solution in mind, even as he swallowed hard.
.
She smiled awkwardly at Xu Moran and said, "Miss Xu, don't laugh at me, but I was seriously unbalanced in my studies when I was in school."
"What?" Xu Moran felt that the topic had jumped a bit too far, but he still answered her and asked her in return.
“Miss Xu, I was seriously unbalanced in my studies when I was in school. Usually, if I could get one point in Chinese, I could only get zero in math. Once, after the final exam results came out, my dad looked at my Chinese paper with a score of one point, then looked at my math paper with a score of zero, took out the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes that he had been saving for half a year, smoked a whole pack, and then said something to me in a deep and earnest way.”
She paused, then asked Xu Moran, "Miss Xu, guess what my father said?"
Xu Moran let out a soft sigh, somewhat helplessly asking, "What did your dad say?"
"After my dad finished smoking a whole pack of Zhonghua cigarettes that he had been saving for half a year, he said to me earnestly, 'Lan'er, your subject is too unbalanced!'"
Xu Moran was silent for a moment, then looked into Yu Lanlan's eyes with his clear and bright eyes. "Are you trying to tell me that you're bad at math?"
It may seem like a rhetorical question, but the tone it conveys is actually an affirmation.
Perhaps because of her position as a police officer, she dislikes beating around the bush, whether in speech or action. She prefers to be direct and straightforward, which saves time and effort and is simpler. She tends to favor a straightforward approach to things.
Yu Lanlan secretly praised Xu Moran again in her heart. She truly deserved to be her future boss's wife. She was smart, straightforward, and not at all coy.
Yes, she likes this kind of boss lady.
"Miss Xu." Yu Lanlan once again transformed into a shadow puppet, her exaggerated acting making her rub her eyes vigorously for a realistic effect. Where are the tears? The tears should come down quickly!
But it's so hard. My eyes hurt from rubbing them, but not a single tear came out.
"Are your eyes alright?" Just as Yu Lanlan was still trying to find a way to improve her acting skills, Xu Moran couldn't help but ask her about it when he saw her rubbing her eyes repeatedly.
Xu Moran felt sorry for her as she rubbed her eyes like that.
Yu Lanlan's hand, which was rubbing her eyes, paused noticeably. After a few seconds of hesitation, she grabbed Xu Moran's hand. "Miss Xu, the reason I mentioned how unbalanced I am in my studies is to tell you how bad I am at math. But, I want to emphasize just how bad I am at math. Well, let me put it this way, Miss Xu, this isn't the first time we've met. I don't need to be shy in front of you. Actually, actually... actually... I can't even count from one to one hundred very well."
Xu Moran was completely speechless.
Yu Lanlan sighed and continued, "Miss Xu, how can you bear to let someone as bad at math as me go back to something like this, which is like a nightmare?"
Xu Moran forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
Yu Lanlan was visibly startled when Xu Moran apologized to her. "Miss Xu, you're really making me feel bad. What kind of coffee do you like?"
As she changed the subject, Xu Moran really stopped worrying about whether she was lucky or good at math, and casually picked up a cup, saying, "I'm not picky."
Yu Lanlan watched Xu Moran take the coffee, secretly applauding her own cleverness, and couldn't help but glance at her difficult-to-please boss again.
.
The meaning in his eyes was clear: Boss, see? The boss's wife is much easier to serve than you.
Xiao Anhe casually picked up a cup of coffee and drank it, completely ignoring Yu Lanlan's gaze.
On the contrary, Yu Lanlan was stunned as Xiao Anhe casually picked up his coffee and drank it. When did her boss, who was picky about coffee and only drank a certain type of Americano, become so casual?
Although Yu Lanlan had never truly been in love, her high intelligence made her incredibly gifted. She was self-taught in many things, so after quickly glancing at Xu Moran again, she couldn't help but marvel at the power of love—so great that it could make someone with ironclad principles abandon them.
When Xu Moran got out of the car, he still saw the car rental agreement that Xu Ye had signed inside the car.
It was indeed a normal car rental agreement, but the name "Xu Ye" at the end made her feel strange.
Xu Ye is not Xu Ye's real name, so Xu Moran has never seen him write those two characters. However, she has seen his other writings, which are vigorous and powerful, showing years of calligraphy experience, a stark contrast to those two soft-looking characters.
The so-called car rental agreement was forged by Yu Lanlan on the spot, and the two words "Xu Ye" were also signed by her. She is a woman, and her handwriting is naturally soft. She did not expect Xu Moran to stare at it.
She felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, this time, her boss didn't stand idly by. Xiao Anhe saw Xu Moran frowning as she stared at the signature, and he knew she suspected that he hadn't written the handwriting.
He leaned close to Xu Moran's ear and whispered in a voice only he and Xu Moran could hear.
Even if Yu Lanlan had a thousand lives, she wouldn't dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between the big boss and the future boss's wife. She stood quietly outside the car door, waiting to open the door for Xu Moran.
Before long, she had figured out the tricks of the trade: if she wanted a raise and a promotion, all she had to do was please her future boss's wife.
