Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, almost thinking he had misheard.

An Lan began to add, her tone remaining calm:

"To be precise, it's playing a role, helping me attend necessary occasions and deal with people I don't want to see."

Lin Xuan looked at her, trying to find any trace of a joke on her face.

But she was very serious.

"Why me?"

"What do you think?" An Lan recalled what happened last night, then quickly changed the subject, "Because you're clean, have a simple background, and... if you don't agree, I'll sue you for bullying me and you'll go to jail."

Even though I could tell she was just joking, her nonchalant expression made it hard to know what to do.

Lin Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Are we just going to wait here?

But thinking back to what happened last night, after all, he and she...

"When do we start?" Lin Xuan put down his cup.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in An Lan's eyes: "Now, sit down here."

"Now?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, but still obediently got up.

Just as I sat down next to her, the wind chimes at the entrance of the coffee shop rang.

A young man wearing a custom-made suit and with his hair meticulously styled walked in.

He was handsome and had an outstanding presence, attracting a lot of attention as soon as he entered the room, but his gaze remained fixed in one direction.

The booth where An Lan was located.

The man strode over with a confident smile on his face.

"Lanlan, what a coincidence." He stopped in front of the table and greeted her with a smile.

When his gaze swept over Lin Xuan, he frowned slightly, but quickly regained his smile: "And this gentleman is?"

Before Lin Xuan could speak, An Lan suddenly reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of his hand.

Her hands were cool and had a delicate feel.

Lin Xuan's body stiffened.

He felt a surge of evil fire suddenly rise in his lower abdomen, which flowed into An Lan's body through his palm!

Chen Mo's body stiffened as well.

They actually shook hands!

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Lin Xuan."

An Lan's body trembled. She felt Lin Xuan's somewhat hot palm and subconsciously gripped it tighter.

But she recovered quickly and even emphasized the words "boyfriend".

The smile on Chen Mo's face slowly froze.

He looked Lin Xuan up and down carefully: "Lanlan, when did you get a boyfriend? How come I didn't know?"

An Lan didn't rush to reply, but first looked at Lin Xuan with deep affection in her eyes.

"My boyfriend doesn't need to report to anyone, right, darling?"

Lin Xuan nodded subconsciously, clearly smelling the faint fragrance on An Lan's body.

Besides that, he could feel An Lan gripping his hand tighter and tighter, and even... trembling a little?

She seemed to be restraining something.

"Impossible, our two families have already..."

Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Lin Xuan slightly raised his hand:

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, Lanlan and I are on a date right now. If there's nothing else..."

The words were phrased tactfully, but the meaning was clear.

You're disturbing our time together a bit!

Chen Mo's face darkened instantly, as if he had been slapped in the face in public.

When has the dignified young master of the Chen family of Jiangzhou ever suffered such humiliation?

He had been pursuing An Lan for a long time, and both families had been trying to bring them together. He had never been treated so rudely before.

He squinted at Lin Xuan: "Mr. Lin, where do you work? To be with Lanlan...President An, you must be someone special, right?"

This was a tricky question, seemingly polite, but actually a way of assessing Lin Xuan's worth.

To be chosen by An Lan, one must be no ordinary person.

Before Lin Xuan could speak, An Lan took his arm and leaned against him, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"He's a free spirit, and I like his simplicity; he's easy to be around."

If you listen carefully, you can tell that her voice is a little hurried.

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Xuan subconsciously, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw her gaze, and he almost lost his composure.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, raising his hand to naturally tuck a stray strand of hair behind An Lan's ear.

Chen Mo is standing in front of the table, and hasn't sat down yet.

He watched the two of them being so intimate, oblivious to everyone else, and his face completely fell.

"well!"

Chen Mo took a deep breath, gave Lin Xuan a long look, and then managed a smile:

"Then I won't disturb you two any longer, Mr. An, Mr. Lin... let's talk another day!"

As he spoke, he gave Lin Xuan a gloomy look, then turned and strode away.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief only after his figure disappeared at the entrance of the coffee shop.

"Um..."

The next moment, he heard An Lan beside him let out a soft moan, seemingly enjoying it very much.

"President An?"

Lin Xuan turned his head and saw that she was still leaning on his shoulder, her eyes slightly closed and her eyelashes trembling.

What happened?

Suddenly, the true energy that had just surged into An Lan's body returned to her abdomen!

It's so refreshing and cool!

In a short while, his true essence actually grew stronger!

Only then did An Lan come to her senses, hurriedly getting up and moving her body away.

Then, the gentleness on her face vanished instantly, and she reverted to her previous aloof demeanor.

The speed at which he changed his expression left Lin Xuan in awe!

"You acted well." An Lan picked up her coffee and took a sip.

My hands trembled slightly.

Lin Xuan smiled helplessly: "As long as President An is satisfied, that's fine. But, do your wealthy families really have so many dramatic storylines? I've learned something new!"

"It's all about interests. Okay, you did well. I'll let you know in advance about this kind of situation in the future."

As she spoke, An Lan took out her phone and began scrolling through her contacts.

Lin Xuan saw that she had found Chen Chuang's phone number.

Ok?

He didn't quite understand.

Just as she was about to make the call, a push notification from the company popped up.

[Employee Resignation Application]

Applicant: Lin Xuan

Department: Third Market Department

Application type: Resignation

The preliminary process has been completed.

Lin Xuan noticed that her hand paused for a moment.

An Lan raised her head, held up her phone, and looked at Lin Xuan beside her.

"Can you explain what this is?"

Lin Xuan looked at the notification without any surprise on his face, and he shrugged:

"As you can see, I was fired yesterday."
