Cry louder, I can't hear you.

The car was driving smoothly on the road.

Yun Qiao pressed herself against the car door, watching the road scenery rushing past the window, and hesitated several times before speaking.

Can anyone tell her why Shen Shiyu isn't in the car?

Wasn't Shen Suwei giving Shen Shiyu a ride because he was going to give her a ride?

Yun Qiao glanced at the person next to her through the rearview mirror for the nth time.

He never expected that he could know Yun Qiao was watching him even with his eyes closed.

Suddenly speaking:

"Just ask whatever you want to ask."

Upon hearing his voice, Yun Qiao panicked and hurriedly stammered out:

"Shi, why isn't Shiyu in the car? Where did she go?"

"At this hour," he opened his eyes, gazing at her leisurely through the rearview mirror, "she should already be at the company, otherwise where would she be?"

Yun Qiao's smile froze for a moment. Why did it feel like she was being subtly criticized again?

Somewhat unconvinced, Yun Qiao deliberately provoked:

"You don't seem like the type to be late. Why are you leaving so late today?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Yun Qiao was startled and turned to look at him abruptly. "What?"

Then I saw him turn his head to look at me, a slight smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were frighteningly calm:

Do you think it's possible?

Yun Qiao: "..."

Damn! You're just playing her for a fool, aren't you?!

Yun Qiao took a deep breath, the words of curse reaching her lips, but then she remembered the strategy guide, remembered going home, and finally changed her tone, smiling apologetically:

"Of course not."

She despises herself.

...So cowardly.

Shen Suwei glanced at her with deep eyes, said nothing, and calmly withdrew his gaze, continuing to close his eyes and rest.

Yun Qiao made up her mind to stop talking to Shen Suwei.

The system suddenly went online:

[Host, this is a rare opportunity to be alone, please don't be passive in completing the missions.]

Yun Qiao felt a lump in her throat, somewhat displeased: [What kind of strategy could I possibly use in the car? Force myself on him, stage a car sex scene?]

System: [If you'd like, that would be best.]

Yun Qiao: [...]

I was already angry, and now I'm even angrier.

When she gets angry, her reason becomes a little out of control. Yun Qiao turned to look at Shen Suwei again:

"Shen Suwei, I think you're acting a little strange today."

Shen Suwei's eyes flickered slightly. He opened them and looked at her calmly.

"What's strange about it?"

"He's kind of handsome."

System: [...You're using such cheesy pickup lines to woo Shen Suwei?]

Shen Suwei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Thank you."

system:【……】

"You have a great figure, do you exercise regularly?"

System: [...Isn't this a bit too direct?]

"Occasionally."

"How's your stamina?"

System: [Host! Are you crazy?]

Shen Suwei didn't reply, but his gaze deepened as he looked at her.

Yun Qiao had already asked, so she could only grit her teeth and continue pulling the tiger's fur.

"This question cannot be answered?"

"If you're curious, you can try it yourself."

Try? How do you try?

"Can you take me with you next time you go to the gym?"

"If you want to go, of course you can."

Ugh?

Yun Qiao was somewhat shocked.

She looked at Shen Suwei, blinked, and seemed somewhat incredulous.

Shen Suwei noticed her reaction and raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's wrong?"

Yun Qiao shook her head blankly: "...It's nothing."

She just suddenly discovered something very interesting about Shen Suwei.

Shen Suwei usually appears cold and even has a sharp tongue, leading her to mistakenly believe that he is difficult to talk to.

But thinking about it carefully, he actually answered every question she asked, and Shen Suwei never refused any of her requests...

So, Shen Suwei prefers directness and dislikes beating around the bush?

That should be it.

Thinking she had discovered the secret to winning over Shen Suwei, Yun Qiao was suddenly very happy.

Of course, this happiness only lasted until the moment I got off the car and walked into the Shen Group headquarters.

Damn it, she really doesn't want to go to work...

In particular, on her first day of work, she arrived in Shen Suwei's car.

Someone must have seen it, but when her team leader showed her around the company early in the morning, everyone looked at her with strange expressions.

There was curiosity, but more than that, there was hostility.

At noon, Shen Shiyu came to find her to have lunch, and suddenly asked her:

"How come the company is spreading rumors that you're my brother's mistress?"

Yun Qiao almost spilled a mouthful of coffee on Shen Shiyu's face.

"Where did you hear that news?"

Shen Shiyu handed over the phone.

Yun Qiao looked and realized that she had not joined the company's employee group chat at all.

There were too many group messages, so Yunqiao only glanced at the most recent few dozen.

[I've never heard of Mr. Shen having a fiancée, so this is definitely not her.]

【Definitely not. I work in the CEO's office. All morning, I saw her lurking around, watching CEO Shen's office. If she were his fiancée, she would have just knocked and gone in. Why be so subservient?】

[She can't even afford a car and has to hitch a ride with Mr. Shen. She's definitely not a good match for him, so she must be a gold digger.]

[But Mr. Shen doesn't seem like the type to mess around. Is he really in a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship with Yun Qiao?]

[It's also possible that Yun Qiao is unilaterally offering herself up, or that she's scheming against President Shen.]

Yun Qiao: ...

So that's what these people were talking about behind her back!

Outrageous!

No wonder she felt something was off in the office all morning.

Everyone else had something to do, the computer was clicking away, but she had nothing to do.

So she wasn't working, she was just playing with crickets?

I can't stand it.

Yun Qiao returned the phone to Shen Shiyu.

"You go back to the company first."

"Huh? Aren't you going back?" Shen Shiyu looked at her with some concern. "You're not thinking of finding somewhere to cry in secret, are you? If you need, I can explain to everyone that you and my brother are siblings—"

"No!" Yun Qiao hurriedly interrupted, afraid that Shen Shiyu would go too far with her enthusiasm again. Yun Qiao looked at her seriously, "You are not allowed to do anything. I can handle it myself, please."

Shen Shiyu frowned, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Qiaoqiao must have known that she didn't want to use the Shen family's resources and didn't want to put her in a difficult position, which is why she told her not to help.

But with this matter escalating to such a great extent, how could Qiaoqiao possibly handle it all by herself?

I'd rather be isolated and misunderstood myself than put her in a difficult position.

Qiaoqiao is so kind, she must help Qiaoqiao!

Shen Shiyu sent a message to Shen Suwei as soon as she got back.

Completely unaware, Yun Qiao bought a car worth one million yuan as soon as they separated.

System: [...One hundred points, and this is how you use them?]

[They were so mean to say I couldn't afford a car! Luckily, I got my driver's license when I was bored after graduating high school.]

System: [...The main issue is that you can't afford a car?]

Anyway, in 21 days, I'll either die or return to reality, so keeping these few thousand points is pointless.

System: [You can keep this to exchange for cheat codes.]

Isn't money a magic weapon?

System: [Will this help with completing the task?]

Yun Qiao didn't answer the system's question. When she drove back to the company, it was exactly the time when everyone was going to work.

A flashy sports car suddenly stopped in front of everyone, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone initially thought it was some rich second-generation heir coming to the company to discuss business, but when the car door opened, they saw Yun Qiao stepping out of the car wearing a pair of Roger Vivier shoes, carrying an LV bag, and wearing a Longines bracelet.

Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Someone posted a photo of Yun Qiao getting out of the car to the company's gossip group, and the group immediately exploded.

Shen Shiyu was in Shen Suwei's office informing him about Yun Qiao being "bullied" and was waiting for his reply when her phone started bombarding her with messages.

She glanced furtively at the person sitting behind the desk, and unable to resist her curiosity, took out her phone and opened the group chat.

When she saw Yun Qiao's photo, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!"

Shen Suwei looked up at him. "What is it?"

Shen Shiyu hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Shen Suwei glanced at the phone she was holding, his gaze slightly lowered, "Give it to me."

Shen Shiyu frowned, reluctant to take it. "Brother..."

"cell phone."

Shen Suwei had already reached out his hand to her.

Shen Shiyu pursed her lips and reluctantly handed over her phone.

Heaven and earth bear witness, she truly didn't mean to harm Yun Qiao...
