Lan Ruo Yi rolled her eyes at Liu Ru Yan, as if to say she knew she hadn't been paying attention. "Come on, just tell me! Don't keep me in suspense!" Lan Ruo Yi had no resistance to Liu Ru Yan's playful antics and sighed helplessly. "Li Meng said she didn't know why she grabbed my hand. Can you believe that? It sounds suspicious!" After saying this, Lan Ruo Yi looked at Liu Ru Yan with bright eyes, seeking validation.
"Well, the way you put it does seem a bit off," Liu Ru Yan replied.
"Of course it's off! Why would she grab my hand? Does she know I have this ability?" Upon hearing Lan Ruo Yi's words, Liu Ru Yan's expression turned a bit strange. "Are you really okay with saying that about yourself?"
"Who says their superpower is a 'function'? Do I look like an object?" After saying this, Liu Ru Yan felt something was amiss.
"You’re the one who’s an object!" Lan Ruo Yi glared at Liu Ru Yan, but then realized it wasn't quite right either.
"Hahaha, right, right, you're not an object," Liu Ru Yan began to tease back. The two of them bickered playfully until the end of the workday, but Sister Na still hadn't shown up for her shift. They had hoped to get some information from her, but ever since their conversation, both had felt like they were avoiding each other. However, they didn't mind too much.
When the workday ended, Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi arrived at the clock-in station on time to check out. At that moment, Li Meng walked in with a customer. She glanced at the two and greeted them before leading the customer into the office.
"Off work already?" They both nodded. The customer also glanced at them, but that look left Lan Ruo Yi feeling uneasy.
Lan Ruo Yi and Liu Ru Yan had different skills and perceptions; for instance, Liu Ru Yan could clearly sense when someone was following them, while Lan Ruo Yi was sensitive to people's gazes. Hiding in the shadows, Liu Er saw that customer and immediately knew something was wrong. She quickly called Liu Yuchuan.
"Boss, we have a problem! Li Meng brought Wang Yang here, and Wang Yang saw Miss and Miss Lan!" On the other end of the line, Liu Yuchuan was still having dinner with Mo Daowan when he received this alarming news. Mo Daowan's expression turned cold, and even Liu Yuchuan stopped his nonchalant demeanor as he instructed Liu Er on the phone.
"Keep an eye on them; I'll be there shortly." After hanging up, he glanced at Mo Daowan and said, "Mo, I'm really sorry; I have an urgent matter to attend to. Would you like to come with me?"
Mo Daowan nodded in agreement and casually grabbed his coat before following Liu Yuchuan out. They sped through traffic during rush hour; despite the congestion, the driver did his best to accelerate.
"Liu Zong, I thought someone like you would just make a call and clear all the traffic," Mo Daowan joked from the backseat.
Liu Yuchuan gave him a complex look. "Mo, can you do that abroad? In China, that's just a dream!"
Mo Daowan chuckled and shook his head. To his surprise, Liu Yuchuan seemed genuinely eager to educate him about local customs.
"There's a saying: if you want to be rich, first build roads. But we have plenty of roads already; I’m wealthy enough not to need more! Plus, building roads is complicated; you have to apply for land permits from the government first and check if it meets requirements. Then there are environmental assessments and safety evaluations before anything can happen! Just because I’m rich doesn’t mean I’m crazy," Liu Yuchuan explained earnestly before adding, "Mo, I know you're wealthy too, but this is China; we have to follow the rules."
Mo Daowan burst into laughter; he hadn’t expected such a serious explanation from Liu Yuchuan. It had been a long time since he met someone so interesting.
"How do you know all this?" Mo Daowan asked curiously since it was clear this wasn’t his first time discussing such matters.
Liu Yuchuan smiled wryly as if recalling something amusing. "My niece used to read those CEO novels in school and would ask me all sorts of strange questions. So now I have some experience with it!"
Mo Daowan understood immediately but also found himself intrigued by Liu Yuchuan's niece.
“Wow! Finally off work! If I had to stay any longer, I think I’d collapse!” As soon as Liu Ru Yan stepped out of the office building, her face lit up with a big smile; after a long day of fatigue, she looked rejuvenated.
Lan Ruo Yi walked slowly behind her; the more she thought about that man’s gaze earlier, the more unsettling it felt—always giving off an eerie vibe.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Hello!" Liu Ru Yan waved her hand in front of Lan Ruo Yi’s face when she noticed her lost in thought. Seeing that Lan Ruo Yi didn’t respond right away, she poked her arm instead.
Lan Ruo Yi snapped back to reality and looked at Liu Ru Yan. "What if something really is off?"
"What do you mean?" The carefree Liu Ru Yan clearly didn’t grasp what Lan Ruo Yi was implying.
"I’m talking about that guy Li Meng brought in earlier! You didn’t see him?"
Liu Ru Yan thought for a moment about what had just happened and shook her head firmly: "Please! It's almost quitting time—who cares who came in? No one can delay my leaving! Delaying my departure is like taking my life!"
Lan Ruo Yi twitched her lips but interrupted Liu Ru Yan before she could cast any spells: "Alright, alright! I get it!"
"Then tell me what’s up with that guy; he looked somewhat familiar from behind." After being reminded by Lan Ruo Yi, Liu Ru Yan tried hard to recall that short and stout figure but couldn’t quite place it.
Lan Ruo Yi perked up: "Do you recognize him?"
Liu Ru Yan shook her head again as she still couldn’t remember: "I probably don’t know him. Anyway, let’s just go eat!"
With no other choice, Lan Ruo Yi followed Liu Ru Yan to dinner. The two devoured their meal like a whirlwind at a five-star hotel table—one radiating brightness and charm while the other exuded coolness and warmth—but their hunger was palpable.
Meanwhile, in the car nearby, both men felt embarrassed watching this scene unfold; Liu Yuchuan turned his head away in shame while thinking how could this girl be so ravenous? The driver Liu Da chuckled at the sight: "Miss has quite an appetite!"
Liu Yuchuan felt even more embarrassed; just as he wanted to lessen his presence in the car, he heard Liu Da add: "Boss! Look at Miss Lan—she truly matches Miss's appetite; they’re evenly matched even when eating!"
Hearing this made Liu Yuchuan glance at Mo Daowan; his expression was hard to read but his smile suggested he was in good spirits.
