Seeing Xue Zimu's serious and anxious face Qi Yan frowned, recalling that Bai Xinlan had gone to the Xue Family today, he asked: "You aren't willing to have the wedding next month?"

Xue Zimu was stunned and saw Qi Yan's sullen expression. He shook his head and smiled, "No, I'm worried about something else."

Hearing Xue Zimu's denial, Qi Yan's face eased, "Are you thinking about the college entrance form?"

"Not this..."Xue Zimu spoke with a hesitant smile: "I'm also undecided about this, but I'm worried about another thing." Then he stopped taking.

He and Qi Yan seemed to get along well, but their relationship can't be described as friends. Also, Xue Zimu had never taken the initiative to help the other in his past life, and to speak about it now left a bad taste in his mouth.

Qi Yan didn't speak or turn the camera towards the cat, obviously waiting for him to continue.

After a while, Xue Zimu plucked up his courage to ask: "There is one thing I want Young Master Qi's help with..." He paused and saw that Qi Yan didn't show any signs of rejection, then continued: "Xue Li has a project and wish to collaborate with you. I want..."

"For me to agree?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows. Xue Zimu had addressed Xue Li disrespectfully, so he felt the other shouldn't have any kindness to help Xue Li.

Sure enough, Xue Zimu hastily shook his head, "No, I want to know if you can make Xue Li unable to work on this project. It would be best if you can snatch this for the Qi Family."

Qi Yan was astounded, "What project?" It's not enough to just not help Xue Li, but also want him unable to keep it. Could it be that this project was very profitable?

Qi Yan didn't look down on Xue Zimu, but Xue Zimu was only a recent high school graduate. His ability to accurately judge the prospects and yield of a commercial project would be low. Qi Yan was worried that he was swindled by Xue Li to believe this project was great. But, if this really was a money-making project, how can Xue Li deliberately give him a portion of the soup?

Xue Zimu heard a trace of doubt in Qi Yan's tone, and just as he was about to explain it, the other said: "Forget it, you're in the Xue Family right now. Maybe someone will suddenly break-in, it's not convenient to say too much. I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll talk in person."

"Ah?" Xue Zimu froze and realised that Qi Yan was referring to when Yao Yue had intentionally broken into his room whilst they were talking. His overall impression of the Xue Family was obviously not good and felt their conversation could be heard by them. Xue Zimu unconsciously smiled and asked: "Will it affect your work?" He heard that Qi Yan was a workaholic.

"It's fine, I've already arranged it for tomorrow. There's no impact." Qi Yan spoke whilst holding up the kitten for Xue Zimu to see. "And it's time to bring it to the hospital for reexamining."

"Hn," Thinking that Qi Yan's main purpose was to bring the cat for a check-up, Xue Zimu stopped refusing and nodded: "Then we'll meet up at the pet clinic tomorrow, no need to pick me up."

"It's okay, I'll pick you up." In order to not let Xue Zimu disagree, Qi Yan simply changed the subject, "Is the marks out?"

"......" Xue Zimu found out every time Qi Yan decided on something, there was no room for rejection. He helplessly smiled and replied: "No." Although there's no result yet, he stilled had an impression of his score from his last life, with his level, there's no problem reading complex questions.
