Yurong cast her gaze over, her eyes filled with many words, yet unfortunately, it was like winking at a blind man. This guy was concentrating on savoring the thick soup he had just scooped, completely oblivious to her.

If it were usual times, Yurong would just endure it, not bothering to argue with him. Unfortunately, she had to respond to her father now and also had to maintain a natural expression without showing any displeasure on her face. With only four people, her father still watching, she couldn't make a sound or reach out to remind him. Helpless, she could only slightly move her jade leg and stepped on Li Yan's instep.

"Ouch!" After being stepped on by her, Li Yan let out a cry of surprise, making Yurong secretly annoyed; she didn't step on him hard, he did it on purpose!

"What's wrong? Xiao Li, are you okay?" Yurong's mother Yang Yun quickly asked.

Li Yan was definitely doing it on purpose, just to scare Yurong. At this moment, without turning his head, he knew she was staring at him and felt her just-moved foot step on him again, as if saying the truth would get him stepped on again.

"The soup is too good, I accidentally swallowed a mouthful, and it burned me."

Everyone laughed, Yang Yun immediately had someone serve him a bowl to cool down, "If it's good, have more, but don't burn yourself, no rush, take your time."

Yurong realized that his diversion made her father forget what he wanted to ask earlier. Though she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a bit sad. If it weren't for the serious illness, lacking energy, how could she get away with things big or small in front of her father?

She could only hope for her father's full recovery, and for that, she wouldn't mind her own feelings, marrying a man with no emotional foundation.

"Dad, lately at the company, I haven't made much progress, just doing more than before."

Just as Yurong retracted her foot, she became annoyed, why bring up such a sore point? After barely muddling through, you bring it up again? She exerted more force, warning him not to talk nonsense.

Unfortunately, Zhang Tianyi's attention was already refocused, and he continued to pursue with interest. "Work is about accumulation, talk about it, what progress have you made now?"

"It's nothing much, just that I'm now assisting and partnering with the business manager, helping her handle some things." Li Yan said 'humbly', then with a somewhat embarrassed look, lowered his head to sip the soup.

Watching her parents nod slightly, eyes filled with comfort, Yurong couldn't help but press a little harder with her foot. This guy lies without blushing...

Li Yan was just a small employee, and an inconspicuous idle person at that, just an internal adjustment in the business department. Ye Jiahong relayed this news to Chairman Sun from the side, so of course, he didn't think to mention it to Yurong. Therefore, she was unaware of this.

"Work diligently, don't rush, don't be impetuous, just like drinking soup, be composed and calm. I have high hopes for you!"

For his father-in-law's encouragement, Li Yan also responded with a respectful and taught demeanor.

...

On the way back, Yurong couldn't let him off, coldly asking, "Why did you lie?" Now you say you're the business manager's partner assistant, next time won't you want a promotion to manager? Surely you can't let him have his way!

"Wasn't it to give you face? Should I have said it wasn't because of the burn, but because someone stepped on me?" Li Yan retorted while driving.

Yurong frowned, "Stepping on you was my mistake, I can apologize, that was a situation with no other option. You know what I'm asking about, since when did you become the business manager's partner assistant?"

"Tsk tsk..." Li Yan turned his head to glance at her, "Even when I play Lianliankan, the news reaches you. I thought you knew all my changes. Didn't you know I've been progressing recently?"

His words, though sarcastic, didn't seem to be nonsense, which made Yurong take an extra look at him. One CEO, one small employee, she certainly wasn't in a position to verify now, she'd have to wait until next week.

"Firstly, I told the truth, you could say it's a misleading switch of concepts; secondly, saying so would make your dad a bit happier; thirdly, last time you lied too, so on what grounds do you question me?"

Facing Li Yan's strong stance, Yurong was momentarily stumped, before clearing things up, she had no choice but to say, "Then how about I let you stomp back!"

Saying this, she extended a jade leg to the middle of the seat.

"What are you doing? Drive properly!" Yurong quickly realized, hurriedly retracting her leg, tugging at her skirt, cursing herself for being foolish.

"Nice leg." Li Yan, turning his attention back to driving, casually complimented.

Recalling her impulsive action just now, Yurong's face instantly became flushed, wishing she could jump out of the car immediately. She wanted to say, 'Whether they're nice or not, what does it matter to you', then remembered he was her legal, nominal husband, indeed it did matter to him!

Now he just respects, or out of self-awareness, or lack of interest... She quickly clamped her lips shut, no longer bringing up the topic.

The car was silent, with no indication of arriving home soon, Yurong could only fix her gaze outside, turning on the car stereo to play a CD inside, to alleviate the awkward tension.

The music surrounded the car, probably a CD from Secret Garden, Yurong's musical preferences were so obvious, accustomed to listening to New Age style music.

A few minutes later, under the influence of music, a calmed Yurong thought of something, glanced at Li Yan, and asked, "Could it be the new business manager in your department, making you her assistant partner?"

"Whoa, you figured it out so quickly? Does your brain have wireless internet?"

Without acknowledging his words, Yurong continued to ask, "Is her name Wen Qianyi? A very beautiful, capable woman."

"During your interview last week, you mentioned beauty as a priority, the most beautiful one not to be missed, that's Wen Qianyi, right?" Yurong coldly stared at him.
