Overtime pay is expensive enough 2

  Just as Yeon-woo was still in shock, Nam Baek-yoon came out of the cheese shop with a bag in his hand, which contained several boxes of cheese. Soo-young was even more surprised, looking at the customers who were leaving empty-handed and then at the man walking towards the car, what's going on? It wasn't like they had sold out of cheese either.

  The car door opened and Yan Bo sat in, handing her the bag in his hand. "These few boxes should be enough for you to eat on the road, right?"

  Su Ye took a look and saw that there were five large boxes of original flavor cheese puffs. Suddenly, she thought of what he had just said and frowned, "On the road?"

  "Nan Luogu Xiang, we've also arrived. You should report to me about Liang Xuan's situation." Yan Baiyan sat down and was about to start the car when he turned his head to look at her, furrowing his brow subconsciously, "Fasten your seatbelt."

  Su Ye tried her best to calm down and fastened her seatbelt. "Mr. Nian, I told you my overtime pay is very expensive..."

  "Overtime pay? Isn't it all in your hands anyway?" The car slowed down again, moving slowly through the crowd. He looked calm and composed, "Just as you said, your overtime pay is indeed expensive."

  Su Ye playfully waved the bag in her hand and stared at his profile, "Are you referring to the five boxes of cheese?"

  "Five boxes of cheese, plus thirty or so people in the cheese shop." The number of people ahead decreased slightly, and Lin Baiyan accelerated a bit. The light danced across his handsome nose bridge, making him look captivating at this moment.

  This was also when Su Ye turned her head and saw a scene, but her original intention was not to appreciate how stunning he was. Instead, she found the outer layer of his skin even more bizarre, and couldn't help but recall Auntie's nonsensical "advice" and those departing customers' strange gazes. The more she thought about it, the more off-putting it felt, until she couldn't resist asking, "What do you mean?"

  "In order to get information about Liang Xuan out of your mouth, I can only pretend to be a careless rich kid." Yan Baiyan finally turned the car onto the main street and drove east after avoiding a red light.

  His words were not clear, but Su Ye suddenly understood. She forgot that people like Nian Boyan would never waste time on problems that could be solved with money. The old lady and those people must have been thrilled when they received Nian Boyan's "dismissal fee". It was no wonder that she, a seemingly arrogant woman, couldn't tame this high-quality man to die for her. So, the old lady's "repeated teachings" made sense to her, as did those complicated glances. After a long time, she finally suppressed her shock and sneered at him with a slanted gaze, "Businessmen are indeed businessmen. They clearly squandered their wealth due to laziness, yet they still blame others for it. The phrase 'meticulous calculation' is perfectly suited to Mr. Nian."

  Nian Baiyan didn't say a word, driving with his eyes fixed on the road, but the corners of his eyes had a slight upward curve. Su Ye saw that he had returned to his usual taciturn self and didn't bother to reproach him further, opening a box of cheese and eating slowly. As she ate, the worry and suffocation in her heart somehow disappeared, she didn't know if it was because the rich, sweet and smooth taste in her mouth had a psychological effect, or because the man beside her had stimulated her adrenal glands.

  She had to admit that the appearance of Yan Bojian did alleviate the anxiety that had been lingering in her heart, and if he hadn't been there, this lingering anxiety might have been as clear as bloodstains after a knife cut.

  As the car slid into the neon-lit stream of traffic, she looked up and glanced out the window, her eyes filled with the dazzling red taillights. "Where are you taking me?"

  Restaurant.

  "I didn't say I was going to the restaurant." She thought she wasn't a slow-witted person, but just got lost in thought for too long. By the time she came to her senses, he had already made arrangements for the next leg of the trip on his own, without asking for her opinion or even giving her advance notice. In this way, he seemingly innocently deceived her vigilant heart and passed it off as nothing.

  Nian Baiyan gripped the steering wheel and turned right after the green light, streetlights casting a fragmented glow through the window. His profile looked even more angular in the dim light. He tossed her an explanation: "First, we need a quiet environment to discuss Liang Xuan's case; second, I'm hungry."
