Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Even if she hadn't met Lu Yanci, Su Qingqian could have continued to work hard on scientific research after joining this research team, and her future would have been bright.

"No need, it's not serious."

She endured the excruciating pain in her abdomen, and her expression slowly returned to calm.

Just like countless times before, when she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

Her muscles had long since developed a memory, knowing how to take steps smoothly and unconsciously.

Su Qingqian was still a little worried. "Are you really okay? You don't need to force yourself because of me."

Su Ruan smiled and shook her head. "I'm really fine. I just felt a sudden pain, but it's all better now."

"All right."

Su Ruan's acting skills successfully fooled Su Qingqian.

However, Su Qingqian's attention was still focused on Su Ruan, and she was always ready to take Su Ruan to the school hospital if she felt unwell.

The journey wasn't too far, and when the two arrived, several people were already waiting on the benches outside.

Su Ruan glanced around and saw that there were empty seats, but they were all in the middle, so she simply stood against the wall.

Su Qingqian didn't go over and sit down; she just stood next to Su Ruan.

Before long, the seated people began to stir.

Su Ruan and the other looked over and saw Lu Yanci walking over with a blank expression.

His whole demeanor was cold and aloof, the kind of person you shouldn't approach.

This was the first time Su Ruan had ever seen Lu Yanci in real life.

Unlike the domineering yet affectionate male protagonist in the novel, and unlike Lu Yanci, who was gentle and taciturn when chatting with her online.

Lu Yanci walked over.

Sure enough, his pupils contracted slightly when his gaze fell on Su Qingqian.

But there was no surprise or excitement in his eyes.

Su Ruan understood instantly.

After all, she had just broken up with Lu Yanci yesterday while wearing Su Qingqian's face, and Lu Yanci might be pretending to be a stranger with Su Qingqian right now.

Lu Yanci walked straight through the crowd without stopping.

His gaze didn't even fall on Su Ruan for a moment.

The alarm bells that had been ringing in Su Ruan's mind finally stopped.

She and Lu Yanci will never cross paths again.

As luck would have it, the original owner of this body was quite discerning. Not only did she choose Lu Yanci for her online romance, but the wealthy heir she wanted to climb up to in real life was also Lu Yanci.

Yes, Lu Yanci was the golden son-in-law that the original owner carefully selected for herself.

Signing up for this interview was the first step the original owner took in order to get closer to Lu Yanci.

To this end, she spent half a month preparing carefully and even spent money to ask an experienced senior student for guidance.

With a meticulously prepared application, the original owner successfully entered the interview stage.

Unfortunately, this opportunity belonged to the female lead, Su Qingqian; the original owner only made a cameo appearance.

Because Su Qingqian stole the opportunity she wanted, she went even further, using Su Qingqian's identity to swindle money from pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

She certainly won't follow the same path as the original owner of this body now.

She has honestly severed ties with Lu Yanci and paid off all her debts.

I have no financial ties with him and will never interfere in his relationship with Su Qingqian.

He also became friends with Su Qingqian.

She should be safe now.

After I stopped worrying, the pain in my abdomen lessened considerably.

Soon, people began to enter for the interview.

Then they came out one after another.

The process went by quickly, and everyone looked frustrated.

Su Ruan knew that this was the normal procedure, and once Su Qingqian went in, she wouldn't even need to go in for an interview.

Soon, it was Su Qingqian's turn.

Su Qingqian was very nervous. She held Su Ruan's hand tightly, and Su Ruan squeezed it back. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. You can definitely do it!"

Su Qingqian gave a faint smile, nodded to Su Ruan, and then walked in as if going to her death.

Su Ruan smiled slightly as she watched Su Qingqian's nervous and flustered back.

My dear, you don't know, all of this was carefully woven by the author for you. All you need to do is boldly move forward!

Su Ruan had already sat down on an empty bench, ready to accompany Su Qingqian back home once she came out.

Then, she became an insignificant supporting character in the story, a witness to the sweet love between the male and female protagonists.

Click, the door lock clicked.

Su Qingqian came out.

Su Ruan quickly stood up to greet her, "How is it?"

Su Qingqian gave her a gentle smile.

"Not bad, it's your turn now, do your best!"

Su Ruan felt a weight lifted from her heart.

There are no problems here.

Going in again would just be a formality for her.

"Wait for me!" Su Ruan patted Su Qingqian's shoulder, turned around briskly, and pushed open the door.

Inside the door was a small lounge with a table and two rows of sofas.

Lu Yanci sat there, looking down at the documents spread out on the table.

Su Ruan walked over and sat down.

Lu Yanci did not ask any questions immediately. Instead, he looked at the documents for a long time before glancing up at her.

Su Ruan always felt that Lu Yanci's gaze towards her was a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Her sixth sense didn't trigger the alarm, indicating that Lu Yanci didn't show any malice towards her.

"Tell me, why did you choose to come for this interview?"

Lu Yanci's voice was cold and indifferent, unlike what he had heard in the news.

Su Ruan lowered her head slightly, "I'm with my friend."

Lu Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly.

The woman in front of me was as thin and fair as a little cutie, but her temperament was aloof and noble, and her voice was icy cold, like a chilly mountain spring.

"I have reviewed your materials. You mentioned the power consumption issue of CMOS circuits. Could you please elaborate on that?"

Immersed in her own world, quietly listening to Lu Yanci's questions, Su Ruan instantly switched to answering mode when she heard a professional question.

Su Ruan: "The power consumption generated by CMOS circuits can be mainly divided into two categories: static power consumption and dynamic power consumption..."

Lu Yanci looked at the composed and eloquent woman in front of him, his gaze slowly returning to the documents in his hand.

This woman performed even better than the data suggested.

Lu Yanci was beginning to believe that she had genuinely come to support her friend in the race.

And her friend... that woman named Su Qingqian, is also a very promising talent.

Lu Yanci's gaze lingered between the two documents.

One is ambitious and enterprising, the other is quiet and well-behaved.

If he were to choose an assistant, he would prefer someone like Su Qingqian, who doesn't seem like the type to cause trouble.

However, when it comes to scientific research, what's needed even more are stubborn individuals who can settle down and delve into the subject.

Those so-called geniuses who are somewhat capable, confident, and full of curiosity are precisely the ones he least values. Not only can they not reliably complete the tasks he assigns, but they might also cause trouble.

"Go outside and call your friend."

Su Ruan nodded, got up and left.

Stepping out of the room, Su Ruan immediately broke into a bright smile. "Sister Qingqian, that big ice block is calling you!"
