On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

Yuan Yuan's attitude and seriousness towards learning impressed Yan Huaixu.

At first glance, she seemed to have many flaws.

I saw her a week later, and this girl was outstanding.

He has mentored many interns, both male and female.

Whether male or female, there are almost no people as smart and capable as Yuan Yuan.

If one had to say there was one, it would only be himself.

"Senior, let me treat you to dinner!"

That day, after the two finished working overtime, it was already past eight o'clock. As Yuan Yuan walked out of the company, she suddenly made a suggestion.

Yan Huaixu chuckled and teased, "So you finally remembered to treat your master to a meal?"

Which intern doesn't try to curry favor with their mentor?

She was the only one who remained indifferent to him, never even buying him a cup of milk tea.

Yuan Yuan awkwardly explained, "You and that scumbag are friends. I thought you were birds of a feather, which is why I was unfriendly to you. But these past few days I've found that you're a pretty good person, at least you're very capable at work. Consider this meal my way of apologizing to you."

Yan Huaixu corrected her: "Zhao Jun and I are not friends, just roommates. Don't put me in the same group as him."

"Yes, you're not in the same group. So, senior, would you like me to treat you to a meal?"

"If someone invites me to dinner, of course I'd love to. Let's go! But it doesn't need to be too expensive; I'm not picky."

Yan Huaixu's arrogant reminder.

However, he was dumbfounded when he arrived at the destination.

He said he wasn't picky, but he didn't mention eating barbecue by the roadside.

He assumed that a wealthy young lady like Yuan Yuan would definitely go to a high-end restaurant, at least a Western restaurant, to eat out!

Who would have thought it was a roadside stall?

Are you sure you want to eat here?

Yan Huaixu, still unwilling to give up, asked again.

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "The food here is pretty good; you'll know once you try it."

Yan Huaixu chuckled. Of course he knew this place was good; he had eaten there before.

He sighed and pulled up a stool to sit down. He had thought he would have a chance to broaden his horizons today, but it seems he was overthinking it.

"What, you don't like street food?"

Yuan Yuan could tell he was in low spirits.

Yan Huaixu replied, "It's not that I dislike it, I'm just curious why a rich heiress like you would eat at a roadside stall?"

"Who said I'm a rich heiress?"

Yuan Yuan asked with a wry smile.

Yan Huaixu said, "Driving a luxury car to school, breaking someone's arm and throwing around 20,000 yuan, isn't that the mark of a rich girl?"

Yuan Yuan smiled slightly and explained, "That car belongs to my relative. I just asked my relative to take me to school. As for the 20,000 yuan, it's compensation. I broke his arm, and even if I hired a lawyer, I would still have to pay that much. I might as well settle things quickly to avoid bothering my parents. I ate instant noodles for two months straight to pay him that money."

"Why did you have a relative drive you around in a luxury car? Are you that vain?"

Yan Huaixu asked bluntly.

Yuan Yuan explained, "It's not about being vain, it's about avoiding trouble."

"Avoid trouble?"

Yuan Yuan chuckled and said, "You're a boy, so of course you can't understand. If I were a poor but pretty girl, many people would think I'm easy to pursue and would keep bothering me. But if I were a rich heiress, those boys would be too insecure to take the initiative. Even if they did, they would be too insecure to continue pursuing me after being rejected once."

Yan Huaixu thought about it and it seemed to make some sense.

Although Yuan Yuan attracted the attention of many boys when she enrolled in school.

But later, because she was too aloof, most people gave up the idea and dared not pursue her.

"No, how did you manage to threaten Zhao Jun and prevent him from doing his internship? You couldn't have done that without some real ability!"

Yan Huaixu suddenly remembered this matter and questioned it with suspicion.

Yuan Yuan thought to herself, "He's really not easy to fool."

So he continued to lie, saying, "That's because I called their internship company and told them what he did. Tell me, which company would want someone like that? He's just an intern; there's no need to cause trouble for him."

"Heh, so that's how it is. You really are..."

Yan Huaixu chuckled, at a loss for words.

But after a moment, he said, "Very clever."

"You're praising me?"

She thought he would call her despicable, shameless, treacherous, and cunning!

Yan Huaixu said seriously, "Why would I criticize you if I didn't praise you? You're so smart, you deserve to be praised. You earn your status when you're out in the world, and you did nothing wrong. Moreover, you did nothing wrong in helping your roommate get justice with your intelligence."

Yuan Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression.

After a while, he said, "Your character is much better than Zhao Jun's."

"Of course I'm better than him."

Yan Huaixu said disdainfully, "How can someone like him compare to me?"

"Then why did you lend him money?"

Yuan Yuan countered with a question.

Yan Huaixu said, "If I hadn't lent him the money, would you have let us leave that day? Besides, if I hadn't lent him the money, how would your plan have succeeded? Although your roommate also bears some responsibility for being easily lured into bed with a few words, he still suffered a loss. Getting that money will at least give him some psychological comfort."

"You have quite a sense of justice."

Yuan Yuan said with a smile.

Yan Huaixu remained silent as the barbecue arrived, and he began to eat heartily.

He can really eat.

Yuan Yuan ordered two more portions before he was full.

"I've already told you I'm not a rich girl, aren't you afraid I can't afford to eat like this?"

"I've taught you so many workplace skills, it's not like you're losing out by treating me to a meal. Even if you're not a rich heiress, you're not short of money, are you? The clothes you're wearing aren't designer brands, but one of them is enough for two or three barbecue meals."

"You have excellent eyesight."

Yuan Yuan pursed her lips and scanned the QR code to pay.

From then on, the two became closer.

Yan Huaixu taught even more diligently, and Yuan Yuan would invite him for milk tea and meals every now and then.

However, on several occasions, Yan Huaixu quietly paid the bill, not letting Yuan Yuan spend money all the time.

That day, after finishing their overtime work, the two went out for barbecue.

There was a group of people at the next table who were also eating, and they started arguing while they were eating.

Soon, the table was overturned and a fight broke out.

Yan Huaixu paid the bill immediately, pulled Yuan Yuan away, and called the police as they left.

I thought you would go up and try to break up the fight.

After Yuan Yuan left with him, she glanced at his hand holding hers and said in a teasing tone.

Yan Huaixu said, "I'm not going to be a pushover. I don't even know who they are, so what if I rush in to break up the fight and get beaten up? Besides, you're here with me, so I can't take that risk."

The idea that "a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall" is correct.

Yuan Yuan's evaluation.

Yan Huaixu stopped and looked at her, smiling as he said, "You're not bad either. I thought you would call me cold-blooded."

"You're overthinking it. I don't like doing things that harm myself. But when are you going to let go of my hand?"

Yuan Yuan shook her arm to remind him that he was still holding her hand.

Yan Huaixu was taken aback before he realized what was happening.

Immediately release your hand, and your ear visibly turns red.

Yuan Yuan noticed this and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

He's a really interesting person.

You're shy about holding hands?
