Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

"Hmm~ I didn't expect you to bring us food. I was wrong about you before. You, Liu Ruyan, still have some conscience after all."

Miss Yuan spoke while eating her boxed lunch.

Although it was a boxed lunch, Liu Ruyan brought the deluxe version, the supreme version with an extra chicken leg.

It contained seafood, meat and vegetables, and even drinks, making it much more upscale than the boxed lunches Lin Mo usually ate.

"Do you think I wanted to come? I'm just worried my boyfriend won't have anything to eat. By the way, after we finish eating, my brother and I will go to the company," Liu Ruyan said resolutely, sitting on the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Why should I? Mo Zai is here to protect me, what can he do at your company? Be your secretary?"

"No way, he's my boyfriend. I can use him however I want!" Liu Ruyan said smugly.

Upon seeing this, Miss Yuan was furious: "If you're so capable, why don't you use it here!"

"I like using it in the office, so what!"

"You are shameless!"

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Lin Mo said, "It's not convenient for Sister Yuan and the other two to be here. Why don't I wait for Manager Ma and the others to come back before I go over?"

I'm afraid Sister Yuan won't be able to hold back and will go downstairs, only to be confronted by the real woman downstairs. That morning, that old lady was so angry she fainted!

"Come on, she wouldn't dare if you weren't here. Besides, do you want to be hit on here?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him.

Hearing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to lower his head and eat.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Picking someone up? Tell me about it!"

Liu Ruyan didn't hide anything from this, briefly recounting what had happened just as she stepped out of the elevator, and then sighed:
"Sigh... my little brother's all grown up, I need to be careful of those philandering butterflies outside, lest my house get stolen!"

Actually, she wasn't afraid that Lin Mo would have something going on with other girls; after all, she was quite confident in herself.

However, although she was confident in herself, she still felt uncomfortable when other girls came over to chat her up; in short, she was possessive in love.

"The little black dog got hit on? Hit on by a nurse? Oh my, I never thought that besides you treating him like a treasure, there would be girls hitting on him too. It's unbelievable!" Miss Yuan looked at Lin Mo with disbelief.

In her eyes, the current Lin Mo is no different from the Lin Mo who interned at the company before.

It's just that she earned less back then and earned more now. As for her appearance, she has never cared about it.

Hearing this, He Xiaoyue chimed in, "You can't say that. I won't say it before, but Lao Mo is still quite handsome, so it's normal for girls to hit on him!"

"See, Xiaoyue is the one who tells the truth," Lin Mo laughed loudly.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "You're so vain! Even though you're good-looking, you still admit it yourself. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Good-looking? When did you go blind?" Miss Yuan said disdainfully.

Lin Mo:
"Sister Yuan, you need to put your hand on your conscience and tell me, you didn't!"

He only remembered halfway through his sentence that Miss Yuan had never had such a thing.

"Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean I have no conscience? You—" As she spoke, she noticed Lin Mo glancing at her chest and immediately flew into a rage: "Is this what you call conscience? You despicable person!"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Liu Ruyan's chest with her groping hand, glaring at her.

This action startled Liu Ruyan, who quickly covered her chest with her hands.

Seeing this, Lin Mo shook his head and laughed, "I didn't mean that, don't wrong me."

"Haven't you heard me say that 'My wife admires me because she loves me'?" Miss Yuan: ???
Classical Chinese? Never heard of it.

Lin Mo's eyes widened: "No, this is a Chinese textbook passage from school! You didn't learn it?"

"Forgot? Did you learn this? It's obviously not a good text. 'My wife is more beautiful than me, so please message me if you're prettier than my wife.' What kind of scoundrel wrote this?" Miss Yuan asked in confusion.

Lin Mo: "Then how do you explain the fact that all the palace women and attendants are secretly in love with the king?"

“There isn’t a single woman in the palace who doesn’t have an affair with the old king. Search for the thief!” Miss Yuan said.

Lin Mo:
Liu Ruyan:
He Xiaoyue:
"Sister Yuan, what this sentence seems to mean is that my wife thinks I'm beautiful because she favors me, not because she thinks I'm prettier than my wife!"

"Really? Never mind, they're all pretty much the same," Miss Yuan said somewhat awkwardly.

Is this about right? This is way off! All the women in the palace were having affairs with the King? That King is incredibly charming, even more so than in *The Legend of Zhen Huan*! No, even unofficial historical records aren't this wild!

However, to be honest, he actually found this explanation somewhat reasonable, which was quite frightening to think about.

Lin Mo himself knew that although he gradually realized that he seemed to have really become more handsome, and was even able to benefit from his good looks, he was still not a top-tier handsome man.

At most, he's just good-looking and clean-cut. His looks are decent, but he's definitely not the kind of handsome guy who's a campus heartthrob. What's more striking about him is his aura.

The reason Liu Ruyan thought he was handsome was simply because beauty is in the eye of the beholder; she thought he was the best in the world, which could be described as blatant favoritism.

But unexpectedly, Miss Yuan's bizarre explanation almost turned him into a scoundrel.

"Speaking of which, Sister Yuan, how did you get into university? You weren't a 'last-minute loser,' were you?" Lin Mo said speechlessly.

Although Miss Yuan never mentioned her school, Liu Ruyan did mention that Miss Yuan graduated from a prestigious university in China and even has academic certificates from foreign universities.

He sounds like a top student, but he seems like a poor student.

“I’m different from you. I had a lot of preferential policies when I went to university. Even my overseas degree was almost like buying it. My dad gilded it for me, but I’ve hardly ever been there.”

Besides, so many years have passed; I've long forgotten everything I learned.

Lin Mo: "Do you still remember the 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng'?"

"I remember this one, Tengwang Pavilion, right? In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli era, Teng Zijing was demoted to the prefecture of Baling County? Teng Zijing, that sounds familiar. Oh right, didn't Teng Zijing die in battle at Niulan Street?"

Upon hearing this, all three closed their eyes. What was all this?!

It's said that young people these days learn a wide variety of things, but this is just too much! It's one thing for Yueyang Tower to be passed off as Tengwang Pavilion, but to get Teng Zijing wrong is another.

"Sister Yuan, the one you're talking about should be Teng Zijing, not Teng Zijing!" He Xiaoyue reminded her.

Miss Yuan shrugged: "They're all the same!"

Three people:
Homophones with different characters, it's hard to explain!
"Sister Yuan, you should watch less TV dramas. You're like this, you even have to buy a ticket to go to Tengwang Pavilion. Let's not say that in public anymore, otherwise people will think that your domestic degree was also bought," Lin Mo said helplessly.

She's clearly a top student, and even with all the preferential policies her family secured, she's definitely not someone from a mere second-tier university. But somehow, the way she speaks gives off the impression of someone who's illiterate.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? You wait, once I've dealt with this old lady, we'll go to Tengwang Pavilion, and I'll recite it right here and now, I'll recite Teng Zijing!" Miss Yuan said angrily.

This expression reminded Lin Mo of a scene in a military drama where the God of War shouted, "Even CQB!"

"Sister Yuan, why don't you just continue your fight with this old lady and stop wandering off?" Lin Mo said.

Miss Yuan: ? ? ?
