Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chu Yan’s gaze seemed like it could see through people’s hearts, making it impossible for her to put up any appearances. It was as if all her thoughts were exposed.

Ye Qingran felt a little uncomfortable.”…”

Oh no, this wasn’t good. She had been caught doing something bad.

“Take a guess.”

She hesitated for a moment and did not give an answer. Then, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile, a touch of mystery appearing.

“Huh?” Chu Yan looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said slowly, “There are cameras installed within the room.”

“Uh.” Ye Qingran rubbed her forehead guiltily. There were actually cameras? Then, he had seen her deliberately rolling around on his bed.

She laughed dryly and said, “Haha, I went to decorate you room, and was feeling sleepy after finis.h.i.+ng, so I couldn’t help but lie on the bed and sleep for a bit.”

Chu Yan nodded and said in a soft voice, “Actually, there were no cameras.”

Ye Qingran was stunned.”…”

Chu Yan said with a smile, “There are only cameras installed at the front door, the living room and the study. No other places.”

Ye Qingran looked at him bitterly. “So, brother, you were lying to me just now. You’re too sly.”

Chu Yan looked at her and asked, “You slept on my bed this time. Next time, what are you going to sleep on?”

His eyes were deep and dark as he stared straight at her. There seemed to be a vague ambiguity hidden within his gaze.

With a ‘thump’, Ye Qingran felt a burning heat within her heart. Her face subconsciously burned up.

She couldn’t hold it in anymore.

This person, this face, this gaze… it was really too much for her to bear.

Ye Qingran blinked. “So you dislike me sleeping on your bed. Are you a germaphobe? Are you looking to punish me?”

The person opposite her was crafty and mischievous. Looking at her guarded appearance while she spoke, Chu Yan smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt.

He replied, as if his words carried a deeper meaning, “I’m very happy about the gift you gave me today.”

Ye Qingran said, “I spent so long decorating, I haven’t even eaten anything. Does brother want to treat me to dinner tonight?”

Chu Yan said, “He Cizhou said that he’s going to treat us to dinner tonight.”

Ye Qingran’s eyes lit up. “Really? Then we have to take advantage of him tonight. Celebrating two birthdays with a single meal, just picking an expensive meal would be letting him off easy.”

The phone rang right at this moment.

Ye Qingran took a look and saw that it was Lin Shu’er calling.

Lin Shu’er asked her where she was and what time she was going home. In the past, Lin Shu’er would not check up on her like this. This was Ye Jun’s instructions.

In the past, he was not so strict despite Ye Qingran being a playboy. However, since Ye Qingran obtained first place in the compet.i.tion, Ye Jun started having greater expectations for her, and would treat her much stricter.

Ye Qingran told Lin Shu’er that she would be back tomorrow and asked her to help handle Ye Jun.

Ye Jun being so strict with her, was pretty much because of that photo, letting him misunderstand that Ye Qingran was being gay outside.

Lin Shu’er also didn’t allow her to speak her mind, so she could only have Lin Shu’er think of a way to smooth things over. Regardless, she really didn’t want to return to live in the Ye family home.

After hanging up the phone.

Ye Qingran told Chu Yan about what happened at the banquet.

After she finished, she laughed out loud. “So now, everyone is suspecting me of being a cross-dresser. It’s even funnier with my father, because of the gifts you gave me, he’s afraid that you’ll turn me gay.”

As Ye Qingran spoke, she kept staring at Chu Yan. She wanted to see if this incident would incite any expressions on his face.

In the end, she found that he was as calm and indifferent as usual.

Chu Yan asked her, “What about you?”

Ye Qingran took a sip of the soup and said, “My father wants me to move back. He would rather that I ruin a hundred women than let me be taken by a man. As for my own thoughts, of course I don’t want to move back.”

Ever since she arrived in this world, she had interacted with Chu Yan much more than with her family members.

Compared to the Ye family, she preferred this place much more.

Chu Yan replied, “This house belongs to you. You can choose to live here whenever you want, regardless of the circ.u.mstances.”

Ye Qingran put down her chopsticks and rested her chin on her hand. “Brother, why do you treat me so good?”

Chu Yan raised his head and his deep eyes looked at her for two seconds before he said, “Guess.”

Ye Qingran laughed dryly.

She was not a fool.

How could she not have guessed that Chu Yan definitely had some interest in her.

But she was a man now. Chu Yan was interested in a man, but in reality, she was a woman.

This was too tragic.

Ye Qingran deliberately said, “Hehe, I don’t have to guess. Brother, you’ve mentioned before that you like my brain, and that you wanted me as your subordinate.”

Chu Yan:”…”

The restaurant He Cizhou booked was a members.h.i.+p-restricted high cla.s.s restaurant, not far from the small villa.

But there was some traffic on the way, so by the time the two arrived it was already a little late.

In the luxurious, dignified and elegant private room, He Cizhou looked at the late arrivals with a hint of surprise.

He immediately exclaimed in surprise.

His gaze lingered on Ye Qingran and Chu Yan, turning slightly dubious.

He clicked his tongue. “Are you two intentionally being high-profile? Dressing as a couple.”

Ye Qingran looked at her own clothes before looking at Chu Yan.

Only then did she realize that they were both dressed in black and white, with somewhat similar designs.

She explained, “Whether you believe it or not, I want to say that it’s just a coincidence.”

He Cizhou chuckled. “Who are you trying to fool? It’s not like I don’t know about your situation. Hurry and order some dishes. I’m starving to death.”

As he spoke, he rang the service bell and let the waiter in to order the dishes.

Ye Qingran’s thoughts began to drift. She looked at her own clothes and then at Chu Yan’s clothes. She been dressed like this for the whole day.

Chu Yan had changed after returning.

Could he have done it on purpose?

Chu Yan glanced at her and then said, “Ignore him.”

Ye Qingran smiled and nodded. “Alright, brother.”

After ordering, He Cizhou’s gaze s.h.i.+fted back and forth between Chu Yan and Ye Qingran. “Hehe, I didn’t expect you guys to come so late. Could you guys have engaged in battle the moment you returned?”

Ye Qingran was drinking water and choked.

Chu Yan pa.s.sed a tissue to her and gave He Cizhou a cold look. “Shut your mouth. If you don’t want to eat, just pay the bill and leave.”

He Cizhou smiled a little wretchedly. “We’re all men, what’s wrong with talking about it? Could it be the both of you haven’t done it yet?”

Ye Qingran looked at him speechlessly. “Brother He Cizhou, didn’t you call me a little friend? Then why are you still speaking so vulgarly?”

Chu Yan said to Ye Qingran, “Ignore him. Don’t listen to him. Don’t learn bad things from him.”

He Cizhou looked wronged. “I’m bad, but how am I as bad as you? You’re making a move on a child.”

Ye Qingran said, “Our relations.h.i.+p is very pure.”

“So, the both of you haven’t had a chance to deepen your relations.h.i.+p?” He Cizhou was very surprised. Then, he smiled evilly and said, “How about this, I’ll reserve a room for both of you tonight to spend you birthday together happily.”
