How much of what he said was true and how much was false?
pity.
They haven't reached the point where they truly open their hearts and exchange secrets.
Zuo Baixuan herself was only half-knowing and half-concealing, and did not fully reveal her true feelings.
pity.
Luan Yenan lifted Zuo Baixuan's chin: "They won't just target me, they'll target you too. If someone offered you a lot of money or some other benefit to leave me, would you agree?"
"No." Zuo Baixuan didn't elaborate, simply giving a two-word answer.
Luan Yenan laughed: "Right? I guessed it wouldn't. I'm much more appealing than cold, hard money."
Zuo Baixuan rolled her eyes at Luan Yenan, who was talking about serious matters one minute and acting all serious the next.
She snorted and grabbed Luan Yenan's shirt: "No, the person who gave me this money to leave you might just sue me. I'd rather use our marriage to my advantage. After all, you're more like an ATM than a one-off deal."
"Really?" Luan Yenan wasn't angry at Zuo Baixuan for describing him as an ATM. Instead, he took Zuo Baixuan's gentle tug and sat down next to her, reminding her, "I'm more like a loan machine, aren't I? Penniless, only in debt."
That was a deliberate attempt to flirt.
Luan Yenan is now a hot commodity; many companies are vying to invest in her, and repaying her debts will be a piece of cake.
This person seems to have a hobby of using bank money to do his own thing.
Zuo Baixuan tilted her head: "That's right, now that you mention it, I can't leave you even more. If we divorce now, I won't get a penny and I'll be burdened with debt. Am I stupid?"
Luan Yenan couldn't suppress his smile.
Little White Flower's little head is quite clever.
Other people's marriage contracts are based on mutual benefit and are maintained by money.
So, is your marriage being maintained by debt?
“If you put it that way, I should borrow more, so you’ll never be able to escape.” Luan Yennan pinched Zuo Baixuan’s chin, seemingly enjoying this moment of contemplation about “forever”.
Hearing the word "forever," Zuo Baixuan's heart trembled, but she quickly shook her head firmly and broke free from Luan Yenan's hand that was pinching her chin.
She lowered her head, her features completely hidden in shadow, her expression dark: "We'll get divorced sooner or later, that's what our supplementary agreement says."
Luan Yenan narrowed his eyes upon hearing the word "divorce," and reached out to roughly turn Zuo Baixuan's head around, as if to show her the courage to say those words to him.
But he clenched his fist, then relaxed it.
Luan Yenan changed his mindset and tone: "You really are a fickle little girl. You didn't say that last night."
Zuo Baixuan raised her delicate eyebrows, a blurry image flashing through her mind. She bit her lip and turned to look at Luan Yenan.
"Luan Yenan! You're a pervert!"
Knock knock knock—
The cursing and the knocking on the door started almost simultaneously.
There was a moment of silence both inside and outside the house for a few seconds.
The person outside seemed to have mustered a lot of courage before speaking: "Boss, Chen Huanyu and the others have arrived."
The HR department notified us as required.
"Okay, I understand." Luan Yenan replied in a voice that was an octave higher than usual, and then just quietly looked at Zuo Baixuan.
Luan Yennan caught the moment when Zuo Baixuan's cheeks flushed and her hair stood on end.
Zuo Baixuan's face seemed to be asking: Didn't you say the office had good soundproofing?
"No matter how good the soundproofing is, it can't withstand loud noise," Luan Yennan said casually. "You truly deserve to be called the best contractor; your performance is far superior to mine..."
Zuo Baixuan pressed both hands onto Luan Yenan's mouth at the same time, silencing her, her eyes fierce, like an angry little kitten.
Luan Yenan raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of being intimidated by the anger; instead, he laughed even harder.

Chapter 53
The astute HR person left early and disappeared without a trace.
The moment she opened the door and saw no one, Zuo Baixuan relaxed a little, hoping that what had just happened would only remain in this person's mind.
But when the door was fully opened, Jiang Lingdan's complicated expression came into view.
Zuo Baixuan closed her eyes, feeling somewhat helpless, and even a little tempted to just give up and cooperate with Luan Yenan.
In any case, as long as he fully cooperates, Luan Yenan will no longer deliberately use any tricks against him!
This thought has crossed my mind countless times.
Zuo Baixuan glanced at Luan Yenan, who stood calmly to the side, as if he wasn't another protagonist in a tragic situation, and gritted her teeth inwardly.
We should learn from this person's shamelessness first.
But!
Jiang Lingdan just stood there, looking at him with an indescribable expression. How could he possibly stay calm and collected?
Left with no other choice, Zuo Baixuan walked over to Jiang Lingdan and whispered, "Don't overthink it."
"No, no, I absolutely didn't overthink it. Am I the kind of person who overthinks things?" Jiang Lingdan said, quickly withdrawing her darting gaze.
Zuo Baixuan just wanted to ask in return: You are, but what about you aren't? You are everywhere!
But not wanting to provoke a rebellious attitude from him, I could only silently endure it.
Luan Yenan glanced at the two overhearing their conversation and couldn't help but find it amusing.
Zuo Baixuan immediately noticed the smile on Luan Yenan's lips, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only glare at Luan Yenan with a fierce look.
It's as if it's saying, "You just wait."
Luan Yenan raised her eyebrows slightly, responding with an expression that said, "I'm waiting for you."
Zuo Baixuan couldn't help but make a face at Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan's smile widened, looking on with lingering interest, just like a mature older sister talking to a mischievous little sister.
Who would have thought that Luan Yenan was the more mischievous one?
Jiang Lingdan watched from the side and sighed softly, "Does this mean people shouldn't overthink it?"
Yes, yes, I won't think too much about it, since it's already out in the open anyway.
We entered the conference room.
The newly hired employees were all seated in the room.
As soon as Jiang Lingdan entered, she said to Zuo Baixuan, "Senior sister saved a seat for me, so I won't keep you company."
Zuo Baixuan used facial expressions to condemn Jiang Lingdan for betraying their friendship.
Jiang Lingdan remained calm.
I thought to myself that I was worried about you, but now it seems that I was just worrying for nothing.
Jiang Lingdan glanced directly at Luan Yenan and said, "Your wife is calling you over."
Jiang Lingdan's voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it drew everyone's attention.
Most people in the conference hall were still a bit nervous, so nervous that they forgot about gossip.
However, after Jiang Lingdan's reminder, their gossip-loving spirits were ignited.
Many of them initially had other companies to choose from. After passing interviews with both sides, they hesitated repeatedly, unable to decide between future prospects and ability. Ultimately, they chose "Group One" because they were too interested in the couple.
Surrounded by countless gazes, Zuo Baixuan remained calm.
Go ahead and watch!
She walked confidently to Luan Yenan's side.
A smile flashed across Luan Yenan's eyes as he brazenly took Zuo Baixuan's hand and walked towards the main seat in the conference hall.
Zuo Baixuan struggled slightly but in vain before relaxing her grip and giving Luan Yenan a sweet smile.
Luan Yenan was pleased, but still deliberately made a slash on Zuo Baixuan's palm.
Zuo Baixuan forcefully squeezed the mischievous hand.
Luan Yenan did not back down and pinched it back.
The two of them secretly played a childish game of bickering in full view of everyone.
It was a struggle to finally get a seat.
Luan Yenan nodded after the HR delivered the documents and list, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
Everyone felt a little breathless because of the young boss's gaze.
Is this really a new boss who just started the company?
The seats were all silent, waiting for Luan Yenan to speak.
"I've gathered everyone here today to confirm if anyone is interested in 'blockchain'? We could collaborate with Chen Huanyu and the government, and conduct project research under another company of mine," Luan Yenan said.
Chen Huanyu was mentioned by name but not introduced.
