I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Qin Yunchu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I ran into a very good friend who insisted on coming along."

Liu Ruyan remained silent, seemingly deep in thought, then, as if she had forgiven him in her heart, she nodded and said:

"You are Qin Yunchu."

"it's me."

Gu Yuanzhen and He Shiying were about to sit down when Liu Ruyan frowned slightly.

I don't like it when strangers get so close.

Liu Ruyan spoke very calmly, expressing her likes and dislikes as frankly as a child.

An embarrassed look appeared on Gu Yuanzhen's face, and she froze on the spot.

If any other woman spoke to Gu Yuanzhen like that, he would only give her a wicked and arrogant smile, and then find something to make her suffer.

Even though Liu Ruyan was so rude to him, he didn't get angry at all.

Even if she had a temper, it was long since overwhelmed by the overwhelming charm of the young girl.

Just now in the car, we were saying that girls who can be fooled by men's boasting must be from small towns and have never seen the world.

But when he actually met Liu Ruyan, he became the one who had never seen the world before.

He Shiying grabbed his arm and said, "Hmph, come on, Yuanzhen, let's go sit next door, it's cooler there."

She pulled Gu Yuanzhen to sit down in another booth, where they could hear the conversation from the other side, but were still a certain distance apart.

Gu Yuanzhen's mind was in a mess.

He had put in a lot of effort to pursue He Shiying, but now that he saw this girl, the girls around him suddenly seemed less appealing.

He slapped his face twice, trying to calm himself down.

"It's okay, this girl is just pretty. There are plenty of pretty girls out there, it's nothing..."

Seeing Gu Yuanzhen acting strangely, He Shiying felt a little jealous.

"What, you've got your eye on that girl?"

"No," Gu Yuanzhen said firmly, shaking her head.

He gazed at Liu Ruyan from afar, and couldn't help but become mesmerized once again.

So beautiful.

Like a work of art.

Here. Qin Yun Chu hesitated, unsure whether she should sit down.

Seemingly sensing her embarrassment, Liu Ruyan said, word by word, "You, like me, don't dislike it."

After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Yun Chu finally understood what she meant.

It means that she also likes Chen Ya, so they are kindred spirits and she doesn't mind her getting close to her.

So what kind of fellow enthusiasts are we talking about?

After sitting down, Qin Yun Chu smoothed down her skirt and looked Liu Ru Yan up and down.

She called herself an ice queen, but compared to Liu Ruyan, she felt she was quite warm.

The girl sat there, not saying a word, and the other person didn't speak either, just staring at her with his beautiful eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yun Chu said softly, "Um... he and I haven't gone public yet, so please don't tell anyone about our relationship..."

Liu Ruyan nodded and said sincerely, "Okay."

The "he" she was referring to was naturally Chen Ya.

Qin Yun Chu communicated with people in the group under the guise of being "Chen Ya's new love," so everyone assumed that she and Chen Ya were in a romantic relationship.

If this gets out, she'll probably be laughed at by He Shiying for a year.

My career at Hongtu might be over.

Qin Yun Chu raised her voice slightly, using a volume that He Shi Ying and the others could hear:

"Are you and Chen Ya really in that kind of relationship?"

The girl tilted her head, her dark eyes looking at her, and she looked back at the girl nervously.

To be honest, she couldn't quite believe it when she first saw Liu Ruyan.

This girl is just as good-looking, dressed, and has a great presence as me; she's definitely not some ignorant girl from a small town.

This girl would make anyone look at her with more respect if she stood next to them.

She simply couldn't believe that this girl was a member of Chen Ya's harem.

Liu Ruyan seemed to be struggling to think about her question, and after a long while, she finally asked, "What kind of relationship?"

"So... you mean a romantic relationship?" Qin Yun Chu asked, a little anxious.

Liu Ruyan nodded slowly, and Qin Yunchu noticed that her chin was also very beautiful.

“He and I are not a couple,” Liu Ruyan said.

"Really?" For some reason, Qin Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders.

They are not a couple.

This indicates that they are just close friends of the opposite sex.

Creating such a group seems to be just a joke.

When Gu Yuanzhen heard Liu Ruyan say "we're not a couple," he was also touched and realized that his palms were already sweating.

Thankfully, they weren't a couple.

If a beauty of this caliber were part of a lowly office worker's harem, his Dao heart would collapse.

He Shiying whispered, "If you're not a couple, why create such a group chat?"

“It’s fun,” Gu Yuanzhen said. “Sometimes when girls tease boys, several of them will gang up on them and flirt with them together. They can be even more lewd than the boys.”

Qin Yun Chu spoke faster: "So, everything you said in the group was just a joke?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes still seemed to be filled with a thick fog: "A joke? No..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I like him, but I'm not good enough to be his girlfriend."

This sharp turn almost caused Gu Yuanzhen to strain her back.

Since when did you need qualifications to be someone's girlfriend?

This is definitely a case of PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics!

Qin Yun Chu also looked surprised: "What do you mean... you need to be qualified to be his girlfriend? Are you talking about Chen Ya?"

Liu Ruyan nodded: "Chen Ya only likes the most outstanding girls. He told me that himself. I have always made it my goal to become more outstanding."

Qin Yun Chu looked Liu Ru Yan up and down, giving her a second opinion.

Throughout her life, she had met few people more outstanding than Liu Ruyan.

How dare he say that such a beautiful girl isn't good enough?

Qin Yun Chu couldn't hold back any longer: "Don't listen to him, this is just a PUA tactic."

Liu Ruyan tilted her head: "What is PUA?"

Qin Yun Chu repeated what Gu Yuan Zhen had just explained to her to Liu Ru Yan, and concluded by saying:

"In short, he will ask you to do things that he himself cannot do, in order to attack and belittle you, and thus achieve his goal of controlling you."

After hearing these words, Liu Ruyan became even more confused.

"But he can do everything the teacher asks of me with ease..."

Qin Yun Chu keenly caught Liu Ru Yan's address: "Teacher?"

Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "If I had to define our relationship, it would be teacher and student. He is the teacher, and I am the student."

Qin Yun Chu frowned deeply.

If it's a teacher-student relationship, then it's more like PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.

The hierarchical relationship between teachers and students can easily develop into a situation where teachers unilaterally control and manipulate students.

Therefore, teacher-student relationships are generally not in line with the professional ethics of teachers.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were able to grow old together, so why is teacher-student relationships still considered taboo in the 21st century?

Teacher-student relationships have already led to countless tragedies.

If Chen Ya had once been Liu Ruyan's teacher, then his successful manipulation of her would be quite plausible.

But there's only one problem:

Qin Yun Chu had never heard of Chen Ya ever being a teacher.

She had looked at his file; his resume was clean, just an ordinary employee, but there was no record of him having been a teacher.

Chapter 7 is already halfway done.

When Gu Yuanzhen heard Liu Ruyan say that she and Chen Ya had a teacher-student relationship, she couldn't help but sneer.

He looks down on all those who have teacher-student relationships.

He had already made up his mind to expose Chen Ya's true colors to Liu Ruyan later.

He had even prepared a draft of how to comfort the girl after she broke down.

Just then, He Shiying nudged him twice with her elbows, shattering his reverie.

He Shiying whispered, "The bracelet she's wearing was handmade by the master craftsman of Jinsetang. It would sell for at least 30 yuan on the market, and there's no guarantee that it would even be available."

"So expensive?" Gu Yuanzhen was a little surprised.

“I recently attended an art salon where this chain was displayed. Someone offered 30 yuan for it but it didn’t sell.”

Gu Yuanzhen fell silent.

He understood what this meant.

“Liu Ruyan…the Liu family…” Gu Yuanzhen frowned. “The Liu family’s roots aren’t here, are they?”

"People have feet, can't they walk?"

Gu Yuanzhen took out her phone and said, "I have a friend, Liu Chenmin, do you know him?"

He Shiying stared wide-eyed: "Liu Chenmin, that IT prodigy? The one who earned a billion in just one year after his debut?"

Gu Yuanzhen nodded: "Yes, I'll ask him if he knows this Liu Ruyan."

He immediately sent Liu Chenmin a message on WeChat:

Do you know Liu Ruyan?

The message was sent and the other party replied instantly:
