Because of a friendly help, my relationship with Yan Yang suddenly became much closer.

Now if we work overtime together until late at night, we often exchange some work-related issues.

Occasionally working overtime too late, with no subway available, Yan Yang would also actively offer me a ride.

However, considering the fact that he already has a fiancée, I have always refused each time.

But Yan Yang didn't know, he thought I was avoiding suspicion, so our relationship suddenly became distant again.

That day, I missed the subway again due to overtime and had to take a taxi home.

But tonight for some reason, there was a long queue for taxis, with dozens of people ahead.

Just then, Yan Yang drove out, seeing me alone on the roadside, he honked twice: "Get in, I'll take you."

At this point, I didn't care about avoiding suspicion anymore, I just ran and got into his car.

"Thank you, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to wait."

At this moment, Yan Yang glanced at me and said, "Have I offended you recently?"

"Oh, no. Why do you say that?"

"Then why do you always act like you're avoiding me when I offer you a ride?"

Because I have boundaries, unlike your fiancée who lacks them.

I have boundaries!

But I definitely can't say that.

I thought about it, any explanation seemed a bit forced, so I decided to be honest and said, "Actually, I know your identity."

Yan Yang was somewhat stunned, "What identity?"

"You are the chairman's son, right? And you also have a fiancée in an arranged marriage. So, for a married man like you, I often hitch a ride with you back, which is not very appropriate."

Hearing this, Yan Yang was somewhat amused and puzzled, "I am indeed the chairman's son, but did I tell you I have a fiancée?"

"Isn't it true? When Li Qi graduated, she told everyone she was getting married soon. She even said her fiancé is the prince of Southwest Investment."

Yan Yang was somewhat surprised, "You know Li Qi?"

"Yes, I know her, and our relationship is quite close."

But what Yan Yang said next caught me off guard.

"My family and Li Qi's family are indeed close friends. My parents did discuss the arranged marriage with Li Qi's parents. But when they asked for my opinion, I refused. My parents respected my decision and didn't bring it up again. As for how Li Qi's parents told her, I'm not sure. But the arranged marriage is purely a groundless rumor."

"???"

So the marriage proposal was entirely Li Qi's wishful thinking?
