Bai Yan not only didn't blame Han Lingxi for breaking off the engagement, but he was also very grateful to her. That's how Han Lingxi got her initial twenty points of favorability. Bai Yan wanted to break off the engagement, but he didn't want to break his promise to his elders. Now that Han Lingxi had taken the initiative to break off the engagement, she had taken on all the bad reputation, and Bai Yan had even received compensation from Han's elders. He was very happy.
Bai Yan found it strange that Han Lingxi was still reading so intently. Wasn't Han Lingxi supposed to be ignorant and incompetent? Could she possibly understand this kind of material?
Unable to resist his curiosity, Bai Yan approached Han Lingxi and chatted with her casually for a few minutes. Han Lingxi was very accommodating and didn't ignore him. Bai Yan was even more surprised when they started talking. She didn't seem like an ignorant spoiled brat at all. She clearly knew the contents of the documents with ease and had unique insights.
Bai Yan couldn't help but start chatting with Han Lingxi. The more they talked, the more they clicked, almost to the point of becoming close friends. Bai Yan even felt that he had benefited greatly from the conversation. He would get angry at anyone who dared to say that the eldest daughter of the Han family was a good-for-nothing. If everyone was a good-for-nothing, then there would be very few people who weren't.
"Ding! Affection +10, Total Affection 50."
Han Lingxi smiled contentedly, her eyes narrowed; the points she had spent had not been wasted.
The commotion of the two attracted Han Anyuan's attention. Han Anyuan was also surprised. He never knew that Xi'er had such unique and insightful views on business.
Han Lingxi was beaming with joy all the way home. She had won over Bai Yan and even impressed Han Anyuan, paving the way for her future dominance in the business world. Of course, dominance was just a dream; Han Lingxi was self-aware enough that talent couldn't be easily acquired with time. Having experienced so many different worlds, she still couldn't compare to those naturally gifted individuals from her original world. After all, there are always people more talented than you, so Han Lingxi accepted her shortcomings with equanimity.
This good mood lasted until Han Lingxi came out of the kitchen with a glass of milk, only to be stunned as Han Anyuan walked in. In Han Lingxi's memory, it was already good enough that Han Anyuan, this workaholic, would come home in the middle of the night; most of the time, he would live at the company. This was the first time he had come home so early.
Han Lingxi raised her hand to check her watch. It was just past the end of the workday. She had left early and rushed back. Han Anyuan was already home by now, obviously having left work early as well. Han Lingxi stared intently at the person changing shoes at the door. This might be a fake brother.
Han Lingxi silently took a sip of milk to calm herself down. However, when Han Anyuan changed his shoes and looked up at Han Lingxi, his indescribable gaze made Han Lingxi choke on her milk, her face turning red.
Han Lingxi's parents have gone on their umpteenth honeymoon trip. Only the two siblings were home for dinner, as Han Anyuan usually doesn't come back. Han Lingxi ate alone. In the past, Han Lingxi complained that eating alone was too lonely, but today someone was with her, and she realized how happy it is to be able to eat alone.
Han Lingxi finally couldn't take it anymore, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Han Anyuan seriously.
"Han~An~Yuan~, what exactly do you want? If you're going to die, at least let me die a quick death, okay? If you keep staring at me like that, I'm going to see two holes in me."
Han Anyuan took a bite of food unhurriedly, then elegantly wiped his mouth before speaking.
