During the conversation, Zhou Cui’an lifted her head cautiously to glance at Murong Yumeng. Though she didn’t articulate her request, the implications were quite clear.

Across from her, Murong Yumeng maintained a smile but remained silent, leaving Zhou Cui’an feeling increasingly uneasy.

She couldn’t fathom what thoughts lurked behind Murong Yumeng’s gentle facade. Despite her outward kindness, Zhou Cui’an felt a discomfort in her presence, even an impulse to depart immediately. Under Murong Yumeng’s gentle gaze, she felt utterly exposed, devoid of any secrets.

Time seemed to stretch until the waiter finally interrupted the awkward silence by serving the coffee.

Murong Yumeng took a sip before slowly speaking, “So, you want my help, don’t you? How exactly do you expect me to help you?”

At the beginning of her sentence, Zhou Cui’an felt a glimmer of relief, but as Murong continued, she found herself momentarily stunned. She believed she had been explicit in her request: she wanted Murong Yumeng 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 Yumeng were hardly acquainted. Even her invitation today was predicated on the pretext of Ye Leng’an’s presence. Otherwise, she suspected Murong Yumeng wouldn’t have given her the time of day.

Seemingly oblivious to Zhou Cui’an’s discomfort, Murong Yumeng 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 mention anything about a fiancé.

“What? You didn’t know?” Murong Yumeng covered her mouth, blinking. “I assumed you’d be aware since you’re roommates!”

“When Leng’an was in the dorm, she never mentioned 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 came from wealth.

Furthermore, despite being from the capital, Ye Leng’an had never invited her roommates over, even after a semester had passed.

“No big deal!” Murong Yumeng 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 Yumeng’s words. “Senior Sister Murong, what do you mean?”

Murong Yumeng 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 gleamed after she heard that. “But Leng’an doesn’t seem like she’s from an ordinary family!”

Although she trusted Murong Yumeng wouldn’t deceive her, it seemed improbable. Given Ye Leng’an’s behavior and demeanor, she seemed well-educated, distinct from ordinary families.

“Oh, that’s true.” Murong Yumeng nodded, a tinge of regret on her face. “Leng’an indeed hails from a wealthy family, but some mishaps occurred later, causing financial strain. However, since meeting her fiancé, her life has improved.”

Sugar daddy!

Murong Yumeng’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 Yumeng discerned her thoughts. A glint of darkness flashed in her eyes, though her expression remained neutral. “Something on your mind?”

“Nothing.” Murong Yumeng’s interruption halted Zhou Cui’an’s train of thought. Hastily masking her emotions with a smile, she said, “I got distracted by something else just now, sorry, Senior Sister!”

“It’s fine.” Murong Yumeng 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 Yumeng pondered briefly before suggesting, “I know of some 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 immensely grateful for your help. How could I be picky? Thank you so much for your help.”
