During the conversation, Zhou Cui’an lifted her head cautiously to glance at Murong Yung. Though she didn’t articulate her request, the implications were quite clear.
Across from her, Murong Yung maintained a smile but remained silent, leaving Zhou Cui’an feeling increasingly uneasy.
She couldn’t fathom what thoughts lurked behind Murong Yung’s gentle facade. Despite her outward kindness, Zhou Cui’an felt a discomfort in her presence, even an impulse to depart imdiately. Under Murong Yung’s gentle gaze, she felt utterly exposed, devoid of any secrets.
Ti seed to stretch until the waiter finally interrupted the awkward silence by serving the coffee.
Murong Yung took a sip before slowly speaking, “So, you want my help, don’t you? How exactly do you expect to help you?”
At the beginning of her sentence, Zhou Cui’an felt a glimr of relief, but as Murong continued, she found herself montarily stunned. She believed she had been explicit in her request: she wanted Murong Yung to help her find a well-paying job with room and board included.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to voice it directly. After all, she and Murong Yung were hardly acquainted. Even her invitation today was predicated on the pretext of Ye Leng’an’s presence. Otherwise, she suspected Murong Yung wouldn’t have given her the ti of day.
Seemingly oblivious to Zhou Cui’an’s discomfort, Murong Yung pressed on, “Also, aren’t you Leng’an’s roommate? Why not approach her? If she asks, her fiancé can certainly assist you.”
“Fiancé?” Zhou Cui’an was taken aback, then puzzled. “Senior Sister Murong, are you saying that Ye Leng’an already has a fiancé?”
This revelation caught her off guard. Ye Leng’an appeared so young; how could she already be engaged? Moreover, she had never heard Ye Leng’an ntion anything about a fiancé.
“What? You didn’t know?” Murong Yung covered her mouth, blinking. “I assud you’d be aware since you’re roommates!”
“When Leng’an was in the dorm, she never ntioned her fiancé.” Zhou Cui’an chuckled, attempting to mask her surprise. “Perhaps she was worried we’d make assumptions! After all, she’s still quite young!”
Indeed, Ye Leng’an rarely divulged personal details. Hence, despite being roommates, she remained unaware of Ye Leng’an’s family background, only knowing she ca from wealth.
Furthermore, despite being from the capital, Ye Leng’an had never invited her roommates over, even after a sester had passed.
“No big deal!” Murong Yung smiled. “Frankly, Leng’an’s comfortable life is thanks to her fiancé! There’s nothing to hide!”
“What?” Zhou Cui’an’s eyes widened, processing Murong Yung’s words. “Senior Sister Murong, what do you an?”
Murong Yung continued candidly, “It’s no secret. Leng’an’s family isn’t well-off. Without her current fiancé’s help, she wouldn’t be living so comfortably! Without him, she might still be struggling to cover tuition and living expenses!”
Zhou Cui’an’s eyes glead after she heard that. “But Leng’an doesn’t seem like she’s from an ordinary family!”
Although she trusted Murong Yung wouldn’t deceive her, it seed improbable. Given Ye Leng’an’s behavior and deanor, she seed well-educated, distinct from ordinary families.
“Oh, that’s true.” Murong Yung nodded, a tinge of regret on her face. “Leng’an indeed hails from a wealthy family, but so mishaps occurred later, causing financial strain. However, since eting her fiancé, her life has improved.”
Sugar daddy!
Murong Yung’s account summoned those words in Zhou Cui’an’s mind. Reflecting on Ye Leng’an’s lavish lifestyle, a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes.
Initially envious of Ye Leng’an’s affluent background, she now felt superior. She earned her own money, unlike Ye Leng’an, who traded herself for material wealth.
This realization filled her with disdain for Ye Leng’an.
Observing Zhou Cui’an’s expression, Murong Yung discerned her thoughts. A glint of darkness flashed in her eyes, though her expression remained neutral. “Sothing on your mind?”
“Nothing.” Murong Yung’s interruption halted Zhou Cui’an’s train of thought. Hastily masking her emotions with a smile, she said, “I got distracted by sothing else just now, sorry, Senior Sister!”
“It’s fine.” Murong Yung shook her head with a smile. “Let’s drop the subject of Leng’an. Junior Sister Zhou, how can I help you?”
Zhou Cui’an appeared conflicted, unsure of what to say.
“How about…” Murong Yung pondered briefly before suggesting, “I know of so positions that offer room and board, but the pay might be modest. Would that be acceptable?”
“Of course.” Zhou Cui’an was pleasantly surprised. “Senior Sister, I’m imnsely grateful for your help. How could I be picky? Thank you so much for your help.”
