Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A storm raged in He Cizhou’s mind. If she and Chu Yan were working together to monitor the Dragon Palace, he’d not be surprised that she knew this information.

However, the data and accounts of the funds under Polaris were fabricated almost flawlessly. Even professionals would not be able to find a clue without multiple comparisons and investigations.

If Chu Yan was not extremely sensitive to numbers and so good with his memory, they would not have been able to find a breakthrough so quickly.

However, Chu Yan was a genius.

It was not strange that he could find it. Under normal circumstances, he was able to see the flaws in any data in one glance.

However, Ye Qingran was only a 17-year-old teenager.

Had Chu Yan really not tipped or reminded him in advance?

He Cizhou glanced at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was also a little shocked. He seemed to know that Ye Qingran was good, but she was far more outstanding than he had imagined.

He asked, “How did you notice the problem with the funds?”

Ye Qingran narrowed her eyes and smiled. “I just looked around and felt that something was wrong. What? Is there really a problem?”

Chu Yan and He Cizhou went silent.

Just by looking around, he was able to sense that there was a problem. His eyes were f*cking too sharp.

It was obvious that she did not want to say more about the topic.

He Cizhou stared at Ye Qingran, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter. However, Chu Yan shook his head at him.

He Cizhou paused and asked instead, “Not bad, little friend. When is your birthday? Let me star you were born under. Your eyes are really sharp.”

Ye Qingran replied, “November 11th.”

“November 11th. You’re a Scorpio. People The characteristic of Scorpio is scheming under an honest facade,” He Cizhou said as he looked at Chu Yan with hidden bitterness. “Interesting, the two of you are both Scorpio. No wonder...”

Chu Yan looked at Ye Qingran with a strange expression. “Your birthday is November 11th?”

Ye Qingran nodded. “Yes.”

He Cizhou also thought of something and said in surprise, “Chu Yan, I remember your birthday is also November 11th.”

Ye Qingran was speechless.

The birthday she mentioned was not the birthday of the female supporting Ye Qingran, but her real birthday.

She was surprised that it would be the same day as Chu Yan’s birthday.

What a coincidence!

She saw Chu Yan was staring at her. His gaze was deep, as if he had seen through her.

Chu Yan must have investigated Ye Qingran. If she had mentioned another day, he probably would not have noticed anything wrong. However, since it was the same day as his birthday, Chu Yan would definitely be suspicious.

Ye Qingran smiled calmly. “This is truly a coincidence.”

Anyway, many people had different birthdays from those on their ID cards.

It was nothing.

After dinner, Ye Qingran went back in Chu Yan’s car back. On the way back, Chu Yan did not ask her about her birthday.

Since he did not ask, Ye Qingran naturally would not take the initiative to explain. It would look more suspicious if she did.

After returning home, Chu Yan went to the study.

Ye Qingran entered her bedroom, took off her clothes, and had shower.

Halfway through the shower, someone knocked on the bedroom door.

Startled, she called out “Wait!” and finished the shower quickly.

She did not have the time to dry herself. She picked up the bathrobe and pulled it on. She casually tied the belt around her waist and walked to open the door.

There was only her and Chu Yan in the house. The person standing outside was naturally Chu Yan.

The collar of the bathrobe was very low, revealing her exquisite and beautiful collarbones. Her hair was dripping with water droplets, and her cheeks were slightly red. Her long eyes looked dewy and charming.

Chu Yan looked at the person in front of him and his mind went blank for a moment.

Ye Qingran asked, “Brother, what’s up?”

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked away. “I agreed to three conditions before. When I purchase the Dragon Palace, I’ll give you two percent of the shares of the Dragon Palace. Come to the study and sign the contract.”

Ye Qingran said, “Okay, wait a minute. I’ll go down after I change.”

Chu Yan nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Qingran closed the door but didn’t lock it this time.

Her hair was wet. She dried it with a towel and was ready to change.

Just as she took off her bathrobe, the door behind her was pushed open.

Ye Qingran was stunned and shrieked instinctively, “Ah!”

Chu Yan was astonished to see a naked back when he opened the door again.

The back looked smooth and slender.

The sparkling and translucent water droplets dripped from the soft hair onto her shoulders and slid down along her slender back, disappearing in a place that he could only imagine.

The visual impact was too strong.

Ye Qingran quickly put on her clothes and tried her best to appear calm. “Brother, is there anything else?”

Chu Yan looked embarrassed. “I came back to say that you don’t have to rush. You can come down after you blow-dry your hair.”

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

Ye Qingran stood there in a daze for a while.

Her reaction just now seemed to be a little too much.

After all, for a man, revealing his back was no big deal.

Was Chu Yan shocked by her strange reaction?

Ye Qingran blew her hair dry and changed her clothes before going to the study.

Chu Yan was sitting on the sofa in the study.

When he saw Ye Qingran come in, he pushed the documents on the coffee table toward her.

The sofa was about the same height as the coffee table. Ye Qingran sat cross-legged on the carpet and flipped through the contract.

A few minutes later, she asked Chu Yan, “There’s no problem. Can I sign it now?”

Chu Yan picked up a pen and handed it to her.

However, when Ye Qingran reached out to take it, Chu Yan moved it away.

He asked, “Your birthday is November 11th?”

There seemed to be a hidden meaning in his words.

However, Ye Qingran looked as if she did not understand what he meant. She smiled and said, “Yes, are you shocked by the coincidence?”

Chu Yan said, “But the birthday on your ID card is not this day.”

Here came the question. She continued to smile and said, “Yes, in order to let me go to school a year earlier, my mother registered my birthday three months earlier than the real one.”

Chu Yan was silent.

He did not say anything else and just handed the pen to her.

After ye Qingran signed it, she reached out her hand in a friendly manner and said, “Brother, it’s a pleasure to work with you.”

Chu Yan glanced at her hand but did not shake it. Instead, he picked up the contract. “Send your bank account number to my phone.”

Chu Yan was now her source of wealth, so she didn’t get angry. She withdrew her hand and made an OK gesture. “No problem.”

Just as she was about to leave, Chu Yan stopped her. Ye Qingran looked at him. “Brother, is there anything else?”

Chu Yan’s pitch-black eyes stared at her. He was silent for a long while before asking casually, “Who are you?”
