Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

But before he could explode, Yu Yao, seemingly oblivious, continued:

"It's not much money, but it's all my savings from the past few years. The house might be a bit small, but please don't mind."

I'm currently doing an internship and have a good chance of getting a full-time position. Once I'm officially hired and have more money, I'll get you a bigger one.

And this phone, it's brand new. I don't know what kind you like, so I'll just use it for now. If you don't like it, I'll get you a new one. My number is saved on it..."

Yu Yao's voice was full of guilt, and she kept chattering, as if she was going to support Xu Yan for the rest of his life.

Xu Yan suddenly lost his temper, truly experiencing the feeling of having nowhere to vent his anger. He suddenly stood up, his face gloomy, and walked outside.

Yu Yao was left looking completely bewildered.

"Lord 09, did I say something wrong again?"

Yao Xiaoxiao curiously conversed with V09 in her mind.

V09 resigned himself to his fate: "How could that be? It's fine."

He performed normally, but then another misunderstanding arose.

Great, we're one step closer to mission failure!

Unbeknownst to V09, Yao Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with Xu Yan's departing figure.

According to the original plot, Xu Yan's outburst of pride would have led him to make sarcastic remarks, and the two would have parted on bad terms.

But after the second half of his witty remarks, he's probably more angry with himself now.

As for Yu Yao? What did she do wrong? She's just a beautiful, kind-hearted, and responsible girl.

According to the plot, Yu Yao should persevere through being misunderstood, experience a torturous romance, and then go through a "wife-chasing-after-the-crisis" scenario, suffering first and then finding happiness.

But Yao Xiaoxiao had no interest in such a bad and long storyline. She had prepared an even worse one. A slight deviation in the plot wouldn't be a big problem. She could make up for the misunderstandings that had been lost now in the future.

Yao Xiaoxiao continued to dutifully portray a heartbroken and helpless young girl.

Outside the restaurant, Xu Yanjing, who should have left, stood at the entrance, watching the bustling street for a long time.

Just as he was about to leave, Yu Yao arrived late.

"Xu Yan".

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yan paused.

Then a faint, mosquito-like humming sound came from behind:

"I'm sorry, it's understandable that you hate me."

Before he could react, Yu Yao stepped forward and stuffed the things in her hands into Xu Yan's arms, then ran away crying.

As luck would have it, Xu Liang spotted his senior classmate crying as she passed by the coffee shop and went out to check on her.

But Yu Yao had already gone far away by then.

Xu Liang glanced at the man at the entrance of the shop next door and walked over, annoyed.

"Who are you to Yu Yao?"

Lost in his own thoughts, Xu Yan heard the unfriendly tone of the newcomer, but his expression remained blank and cold. He ignored him and walked straight past him.

Xu Liang, standing behind him, was furious and advised:

"Yu Yao is a good girl. She's had a tough time. Bro, if you're a jerk, don't ruin her life."

Xu Yan paused for a moment, then continued walking...

Meanwhile, Yu Yao returned to her dormitory, still thinking about Xu Yan, and took out her phone to send him an address.

She gave him her phone, bank card, and keys. Since he didn't want to see her, she wouldn't bother him anymore and would just send him money on time every month.

I sighed, took out my laptop, and started working overtime.

The job at the TV station is hard-earned; even though I've taken leave, I still have to submit my scripts on time.

According to the plot, Yu Yao should have messed up her job, but who cares about the plot anyway?

After three hours of hard work, I finally finished the first draft.

Yu Yao glanced at her phone; it was a message from Lu Qinian, the second male lead NPC.

The TV station is currently short-staffed, and Yu Yao, an intern, is naturally being put to use wherever needed; she was assigned to the finance section.

The latest topic is about young entrepreneurs, and as expected, the person she needs to interview is Lu Qinian.

The good news is that she and Lu Qinian are acquaintances; they are both alumni of University A, except that Lu Qinian is three years her senior.

Looking at the time Lu Qinian had scheduled in the message, Yu Yao replied and confirmed the interview time.

Shake my head and continue refining the manuscript...

On the weekend, in the office of Qishang Technology.

Yu Yao sat down in the guest seat and, seeing Lu Qinian busying himself, awkwardly stopped him.

"Don't bother, Mr. Lu."

Lu Qinian's eyes were filled with a smile.

"No trouble at all, I remember you like to drink this."

Before Yao could even be moved, the next sentence followed:

“Our Yao Yao is a working professional now, her aura is just different.”

A joke completely shattered the professional demeanor Yu Yao had prepared for today.

But she still felt warm inside. Her senior was her confidant, her mentor, and almost family.

Yu Yao glanced at him helplessly and complained:

"You're not very professional at all. But you, senior, spending the weekend at the company, you should at least get some rest, or you'll go bald."

Lu Qinian was pleased to see that she was no longer pretending. "I know, little housekeeper."

Yu Yao is a likable girl. She handles everyone with grace and composure, and seems to be able to deal with everything with ease.

But there is no perfect person in this world. She carries too much on her shoulders and habitually wears a mask.

But Lu Qinian is different; he has the ability to make her open up.

Yu Yao took out her notebook and gave a fake smile:

"Enough with the small talk, Mr. Lu, please cooperate with our station's interview."

Lu Qinian sat upright, feigning cooperation...

...

An hour later, Yu Yao was diligently organizing her manuscript when Lu Qinian, while continuing his work, chatted casually:

"how have you been?"

Yu Yao didn't even look up.

"It's alright, I'm busy, but I'm very motivated."

Then came another intermittent voice from over there:

"How's Xu Yan doing? Did he give you any trouble?"

Lu Qinian knew about her past.

Yu Yao paused for a moment this time.

"No, he doesn't like me much, and I guess we won't see each other again, which is fine."

Lu Qinian closed his laptop, looked up at her, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

“Yaoyao, what happened back then wasn’t your fault. You don’t need to take responsibility for his life.”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Lu Qinian knew she was stubborn; he had tried to persuade her with these words more than once, and if they were going to work, they would have worked already.

He sighed and moved on from the topic.

"Come on, let me treat you to a big meal."

Yu Yao finished up and, with a light heart, got up and stretched.

"You're the client today, so it's on me!"

Lu Qinian got up, picked up his suit jacket, and joked as he walked out with her:

"So rich?"

Unsurprisingly, she probably gave all of her meager savings to Xu Yan.

Yu Yao glared at him with displeasure. Who did he think he was? She was someone who worked two jobs.

Lu Qinian clearly received this look, and his face showed helplessness.

……

Pleasant times always seem to fly by. On the way back to the TV station with Yu Yao after dinner, Lu Qinian couldn't help but complain:

"And you're one of those workaholics too."

It's already the weekend, and I'm still going back to the station to work overtime.

Yu Yao remained noncommittal.

"I have to work hard. You're already an outstanding young entrepreneur, so I can't let A University down."

Lu Qinian smiled, then changed the subject.

"How's your consideration of what I told you last time? My friend left in the last couple of days. It's not good for the house to be empty for too long. However, if you move in, one downside is that there might be buyers coming to see the house frequently."

Yu Yao was taken aback. Yes, that was true. Lu Qinian had told her that a friend of his was going abroad and it was difficult to sell the house for the time being, so he asked her to stay there for the time being.

It's very close to the TV station, but as compensation, if you move in, you might have to entertain people who come to see the house from time to time.

"Let's not do it for now."

Lu Qinian paused, then spoke calmly:

"That's true. It's really inconvenient for people to come to the door so often, especially for a girl like you."

Yu Yao hadn't considered this point, and sighed as she explained:

"I don't want to quit my part-time job at the coffee shop yet. I live close to the school now, so it's convenient for me to go home at night."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qinian stopped trying to persuade her. She was smart and strong-willed, and even when he offered help, he would try to be subtle and roundabout, afraid of being seen as displeasing her.

The journey wasn't long, and we arrived at the TV station entrance quickly.

Watching Yu Yao get out of the car and walk into the building, Lu Qinian rubbed his temples and drove away.
