Chu Hanchen's words were full of anger. What was wrong with her?
He told her that his sister had cancer and that his family had gone bankrupt. Instead of helping him raise money and taking care of him, Bai Yan hasn't even returned to school for a month. What is she doing?
A cold glint flashed in Bai Yan's eyes. She had been so busy with other things this past month that she had almost forgotten about this idiot.
"I'm at work..." Bai Yan's voice remained gentle as she glanced at Shen Wuye. "President Shen, my friend is calling. I'll take this call."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door. Shen Wuye froze on the spot, looking in the direction Bai Yan left: ...Is it her boyfriend?
Did he think he heard a man? Or did he mishear?
About seven minutes later, Bai Yan returned to the office and looked at Shen Wuye.
"Ms. Shen, can I take the day off tomorrow?" she asked with a smile.
Shen Wuye: "Of course." Even if she insisted, he wouldn't agree; she had been working without a break for a month straight.
But Shen Wuye remembered her phone call: "You're asking for leave tomorrow because..."
"I'm going back to school to take care of some things," Bai Yan said. "I'll also go home to visit my mother while I'm at it."
Shen Wuye felt relieved: It's good that he wasn't with his boyfriend; maybe he misheard... he must have misheard.
I glanced at my watch again: "It's almost nine o'clock, shall I take you home?"
Everyone in the company is rushing, especially Bai Yan, who has to handle all the problems. She often works overtime until late at night, and Shen Wuye has been voluntarily driving her to and from get off work for the past month.
"I've gone to so much trouble for you this past month, Mr. Shen. Once the company isn't so busy anymore, you won't need to pick me up and drop me off all the time."
Shen Wuye tightened his tie, feeling somewhat irritated... If he couldn't pick her up or drop her off, he might as well keep busy.
"Why does Mr. Shen look so unhappy?" Bai Yan teased him deliberately, "Is it because I've been making you work overtime lately that you're unhappy?"
Shen Wuye loosened his grip on the tie, glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "I'm willing to pick you up and drop you off."
Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh to herself. This world's Shen Wuye was decisive in handling official business... but when it came to his own affairs, he was a bit of a repressed flirt.
So, should we just let him keep brooding?
Bai Yan said, "Now everyone in both departments says I'm the company's pillar. Does President Shen think so too?"
Shen Wuye hesitated for a moment. He trusted Bai Yan's talent and had the foresight to know that the game she designed would be a hit... but he wouldn't pick her up and drop her off every day if it were someone else.
But he hadn't figured it out yet, "Maybe... that's it."
Bai Yan found this man, who was shrewd in business but clueless about romance, incredibly adorable.
Then, her eyes crinkled with laughter: "I'm not the pillar, Mr. Shen is. Without your decisive actions, I couldn't have managed the technical department. Talented horses are common, but discerning judges are rare. Not everyone has your eye for talent."
Shen Wuye looked at her smiling eyes, his heart pounding.
He seemed to understand something...
"Mr. Shen, my boyfriend is here to pick me up. I'll get out of the car now," Bai Yan suddenly said.
Shen Wuye: ...
? ? ?
He felt like he'd been struck by lightning... his boyfriend?
Shen Wuye, who was like a chosen one of heaven, had never been so distraught. He even forgot the most basic gentlemanly manners and did not open the car door for Bai Yan.
Bai Yan got out of the car on her own, waved to Shen Wuye who was still frozen inside, and then turned and walked towards a tall figure at the school gate.
After realizing what was happening, Shen Wuye quickly turned his head to look in that direction.
But it was dark and the lights were dim, so he couldn't see clearly... He only felt that the figure's outline was somewhat familiar.
Then I couldn't see it anymore.
Shen Wuye's gaze sharpened, and then he slammed his fist onto the steering wheel.
I got dumped before we even started dating.
On the other side, Chu Hanchen also found it strange: "Whose car did you just ride back in?" It sounded like his uncle's car.
Bai Yan said, "Our company's leaders."
Chu Hanchen frowned instantly: "Why did he bring you back?"
"Working late?" Bai Yan looked at him. "It's not safe for a girl like me to work late at night. Our boss is very nice. He gives me a ride home when I work late. Otherwise, I would be quite scared to come back alone."
Chu Hanchen frowned: "Who knows what he's up to? You're not allowed to ride in his car anymore." That car looks a lot like his uncle's, it's also a luxury car brand. What does Bai Yan mean by that?
Does driving a luxury car mean she's really a gold digger?
Bai Yan scoffed inwardly, but said aloud, "What will I do if I have to work overtime again?"
"What a lousy job!" Chu Hanchen scoffed. "You only earn a few dollars a month. It's better not to work overtime at all."
Bai Yan looked at Chu Hanchen: "But this company's salary is really high. How can I help you if I don't work?"
Chu Hanchen couldn't help but feel smug. He thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to go to the bar, that's fine. My friend owns a high-end restaurant. The waiters get paid six thousand a month, and they don't get off work this late."
"Go to work, and the bill will be deposited into my account."
Bai Yan sneered: "Then you might as well go up there yourself."
"I'm a man, how can I work as a waiter?" Chu Hanchen frowned.
“I really like my job now.” Bai Yan said, then looked at her hands. “Besides, my mom doesn’t let me wash dishes at home, so I don’t want to go out to work and wash dishes.”
Before Chu Hanchen could say anything more, Bai Yan covered her mouth and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to my dorm to rest."
After Bai Yan went upstairs, Chu Hanchen cursed under his breath, "Damn it."
She says she loves him, but she's unwilling to give him anything... He has to test her to find out. If she's also a gold digger, he'll make her pay the price!
