More adept at plotting and scheming human hearts

  The darkness was thinning out, as if it would soon be torn apart by the approaching light that was about to break through the clouds.

  Su Ye went downstairs and saw the black business car parked under the lilac tree, with purple flower shadows scattered on top of the car. The car was steadily parked there, just like when she went upstairs, without moving at all.

  Nian Baiyan stood outside the car, his tall figure in a suit and leather shoes blending with the shadow of the vehicle, exuding an air of luxury. He lit a cigarette, his long fingers holding it elegantly, his majestic body leaning against the window, one arm casually resting on the side.

  Behind him was a vast expanse of purple lilac flowers, and behind that, the blue-green sky still had a hint of goose yellow. The swirling mist was like the figure of a seductive woman, entwining around him, and his face, which seemed stern and dignified, also appeared to have softened somewhat.

  This scene suddenly made a feeling that Su Ye had never had before flash through her heart, this feeling was strange yet somehow familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

  Nian Baiyan extinguished his cigarette as soon as he saw her coming downstairs, and a hint of relief seemed to flash across the corner of his lips.

  The air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers and a hint of tobacco, intertwined with his own sweet and refreshing scent. As Su Ye approached him, she inhaled the same spring-like aroma that seemed to carry a subtle excitement.

  "Mr. Nian, has anyone ever told you that the impression you give people is really bad?" She looked up at him with a gaze that was both sincere and insincere, this angle just right to make the contours of his arrogant chin even clearer.

  "Oh?" Year Bao Yan slightly raised an eyebrow, forming a handsome pattern between his brows. He didn't look like someone who was good at joking around, and he looked at Su Ye as if he really was waiting for her answer.

  Su Ye shrugged her shoulders and kindly reminded him, "You're a man who always gives people a sense of pressure."

  "Are you included?" Yan Bojian understood and his expression remained calm, but unexpectedly asked back.

  "It's shameful to guess what others are thinking." Suye replied indirectly to his question, "Of course, except for psychologists like me."

  Nian Baiyan unexpectedly smiled, his smile very faint, almost imperceptible, as if indulging her "sophistry".

  "Back to the point, where is the person involved?"

  Nian Baiyan didn't answer immediately, turned around and walked to the car, opened the passenger door, his tone was calm but with a hint of urgency, "Get in."

  Su Ye suddenly became unhurried, her clear eyes met his face, and she said word by word, "Such a tone is really disgusting."

  Nian Baiyan's eyebrows flashed with a hint of embarrassment, and he quickly lowered his head to chuckle softly, shaking his head. When he spoke again, even his tone became slightly softer, somewhat reducing the commanding tone, "Please." His words added an extra word of respect.

  Su Ye rolled her eyes helplessly and thought that if she had the chance, she would thoroughly investigate this Yan Bo Yi to see what kind of stimulation could make him so unsociable and taciturn.

  As soon as they got on the car, Kaoru didn't start the engine immediately. Instead, he picked up a box from the back seat and handed it to Sora. She felt a bit strange, but when she opened it, there were some breakfast pastries inside.

  "We'll have breakfast in the car." Yan Bojian said this and started the engine.

  The streetlights outside the car window went out, and a dazzling beam of light finally squeezed out from under the clouds and scattered on the car window. The faint halo refracted by the glass fell on his nose bone that stood tall like mountains and rivers, dividing his cheeks into an even more perfect shape.

  The breakfast was still hot, and even the bottled milk was scalding. Su Ye thought for a moment, staring at the breakfast, then looked up at Nian Baiyan, her cherry lips slightly parted. "Actually, have you ever thought of becoming a psychological analyst?" This man had guessed that she would change her mind, and he had also guessed that she would come downstairs to find him, even preparing breakfast in advance.

  This kind of person, if they can't become colleagues, will inevitably become enemies, because their insight and ability to read people's minds are truly terrifying.

  "I don't think I can become an expert in this field." Yan Boyan steadily grasped the steering wheel, turned a corner, and drove onto the East Third Ring Road, heading towards Changhong Bridge.

  Su Ye let out a soft, cold hum, "You're truly modest, Mr. Nian's ability to understand people's hearts is something I must admit defeat to."

  Nian Baiyan's jawline relaxed slightly after hearing these words, his tone seemingly true yet false, "I'm not good at guessing, I don't have that much time. Compared to guessing people's hearts, I think what I'm better at is calculating people's hearts."

  When the last four words fell, the wind was light and cloudy, and it still sounded like a hint of humility, but it made Su Ye secretly take in a breath of cool air, what a calculating person's heart!

  "Where are you going to take me?" After a long time, she finally suppressed the surging in her heart and deliberately changed the subject calmly.

  "You'll know when you get here, let's eat something first." Yan Bojian's tone was as light and flat as the horizon, with no ups and downs in his voice, and no emotional changes.
