Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Yun Zhenxing was so excited that he fainted.

When the doctor rushed in to save them, he kicked Yunqiao and Yunyang out.

In the corridor, Yunyang sidled up to Yunqiao, his face full of flattery: "Sister, when did you come back to China?"

Yun Qiao looked at him warily: "Just say what you have to say."

Yunyang forced a smile: "Look at Dad, he's in this state, we don't know when he'll wake up. I'm a bit short on money lately, you should have some, right?"

Before Yun Qiao could answer, he blurted out, "You've been able to travel abroad since you were little, you must be rich! Give me 500,000, I want to buy my girlfriend a handbag—ah!"

Yun Qiao threw her bag at his head: "What bag? I have no money."

No wonder he's the child raised by Yun Zhenxing and Ni Ping.

The Yun family will be defeated by Yun Yang sooner or later.

With a brain like his, it's no wonder he can't run a company.

"Now that you're here, you can take care of Mom and Dad. I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Hey, sis!" Yunyang was about to reach out to pull Yunqiao's sleeve when she dodged him with a sidestep.

"Is there anything else?"

"I have to go back to school later, so should I take care of my parents or—"

"Isn't today the weekend? What classes do you have?" Yun Qiao mercilessly exposed his lie.

Yunyang's smile froze slightly. "...I'm preparing for my senior year of high school, so I need to study more."

Yun Qiao sneered inwardly. Him? Reading books?

"But, but if you give me 100,000 yuan, I can reluctantly stop reading for now—"

"roll."

Yunyang's smile faded. "Sister..."

Yun Qiao ignored him and turned to leave.

She didn't want to stay in the hospital anyway, but now that Yun Zhenxing's precious son had come, she could use that as an excuse to leave.

She'll come back when Yun Zhenxing wakes up.

Yun Qiao left the hospital and went to the underground parking lot. She had just found her car and sat down, but before she could start the engine, the passenger door suddenly opened and a man got in.

Li Ruoyan.

Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, Yun Qiao could still recognize him at a glance because his eyes and figure were visible.

Yun Qiao looked at him in surprise.

"you--"

"Excuse me, I'm being followed by stalkers. Could I borrow your car to hide from them?"

Li Ruoyan took off her mask and looked at Yun Qiao with an apologetic expression.

"I'm so sorry, you should know me, right?"

Yun Qiao remained silent for a long time.

Where's your car?

"They know my license plate number. If I drive it out, I might be followed."

"But if you ride in my car and get photographed, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

Upon hearing this, he seemed to realize it only then, and a look of shame immediately appeared on his face:

"You're right, I really didn't think things through. When I ran over and saw you, I didn't think too much about it, I just subconsciously felt that you were reliable, so I got into your car."

He looked around outside the car, as if checking something, his hand resting on the door handle.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I'll go out now."

As he spoke, he opened the car door.

I had only leaned halfway out when several girls carrying cameras suddenly appeared to my right.

He abruptly pulled back and then bent down to squat down again.

"Sorry, there's a stalker there. We can't let them take pictures, or you'll be in trouble."

Yun Qiao glanced at the man squatting in the passenger seat, then at the girls outside carrying cameras. They were very alert, looked around, and quickly focused their suspicious gazes on her car.

It's probably because her car was the only one with its lights on in the garage.

Seeing them heading their way, Yun Qiao said, "Close the door."

Li Ruoyan was slightly taken aback, looked up at her innocently, and then, realizing that she had agreed to let him stay in the car, his expression brightened. "Thank you!"

He reached out and quickly pulled the car door shut.

As soon as the car door closed, Yun Qiao started the car and sped out of the garage before the girls could get close.

Only after leaving everyone far behind did Li Ruoyan get up and sit back down.

He thanked him again, saying, "Thank you."

Yun Qiao glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "Where's your manager? I'll take you there."

Li Ruoyan paused slightly, glancing at her without making a sound.

She seemed very reluctant to let him ride in her car and kept trying to get him out.

Do you dislike him?

In all his years in the entertainment industry, he may not be good at much else, but he is certainly good at reading people and situations.

Although Yun Qiao's gaze towards him was somewhat strange, it did not reveal any dislike or other ill intentions.

"You helped me today, can I treat you to dinner?"

Yun Qiao was surprised. She turned her head to look at him, then looked away and continued to look at the road.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your sasaeng fans?"

"The place I went to, they can't get in."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Yun Qiao didn't plan to have dinner with him. Since he wouldn't give her any other address, she couldn't just kick him out of the car. She originally planned to drop him off at the restaurant and then leave.

However, as the car drove along under Li Ruoyan's guidance, it gradually became more and more remote and began to move away from the city center.

Yun Qiao asked suspiciously, "Where are you going to eat?"

Li Ruoyan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't kidnap you."

"I was driving the car, how are you going to kidnap me?"

"Miss Yun is quite interesting."

He chuckled softly a few times. With his outstanding looks and background as a singer, it was hard for most people not to blush and fall in love with him when he looked at someone with such tenderness and a smile.

Li Ruoyan was certain that Yun Qiao would not remain indifferent. His gaze was gentle and focused as he turned to look at her, secretly observing her reaction.

However, after staring at her for several seconds, seeing that Yun Qiao remained expressionless and only focused on driving without any emotion, his smile stiffened slightly, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Yunqiao.

What kind of person is she?

Someone who receives special treatment from Shen Suwei must be someone who isn't just a simple person...

"I heard you say before that you're Shen Suwei's cousin's fiancée. May I ask when your wedding is?"

Not wanting his question to seem too rude, he quickly added, "You've done me such a big favor today, and I mainly wanted to give you some wedding favors."

"The wedding date hasn't been set yet, so we don't need a gift."

Her tone remained indifferent, as if she had no intention of saying more to him.

Li Ruoyan was somewhat unwilling, and after a moment of silence, she spoke again:

"Actually, I overheard your phone call in the stairwell earlier. You mentioned my name."

After he finished speaking, he carefully observed her reaction. Seeing that she indeed showed a slight reaction to his words, he was secretly pleased.

There was a reaction...

He pressed his advantage:

"You also mentioned Shen Suwei's name. You must have been on the phone with him, right? But why did you tell him you wanted to see me?"

Yun Qiao tightened her grip on the steering wheel slightly. "I was just saying it casually, you don't need to take it to heart."

"I thought you were my fan," he said jokingly. "But Miss Yun is so outstanding, she probably wouldn't be interested in people in the entertainment industry."

You're overthinking it.

"Miss Yun, you don't need to comfort me. Our line of work may seem glamorous to outsiders, but in reality, we're just people who sell smiles."

"Are you feeling inferior?"

Li Ruoyan's breath hitched, and her smile gradually faded.
