Lu Xi rarely talked back to Ye An. She moved closer to Ye An, grabbed his sleeve, and smiled as she curved her eyes slightly. "Let's discuss something."

Ye Yan still kept his hand on his chin. He lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Lu Xi's obviously flattering smile, his expression was calm, his deep brows seemed to have seen through Lu Xi's intentions, "Tell me about it."

"In the crew of my previous drama, there was a girl who was under house arrest by her sponsor. She wanted to escape, but no one was willing to help her."

"What does this have to do with you?" Ye An stared at Lu Xi, "Is it your turn to meddle in other people's business?"

"I didn't want to get involved in it originally." Lu Xi didn't want to expose his relationship with Su Ran, so he could only make up an excuse, "But she's so pitiful. If I don't help her, she might be killed by that man. After all, we are colleagues, and I really want to help her."

"If you want to help, just do it. Why are you looking for me?" Ye An was unmoved. The light fell on him. Even the softest light instantly melted into his black shirt, blending into his sinister look.

"But the person who imprisoned her is Fu Siyu, who is very powerful in the imperial capital." Lu Xi shook Ye An's sleeve and began to flatter him. "In this world, besides you, who else can rescue someone from Fu Siyu? I heard from others that you are very powerful."

Ye An sneered and pushed away Lu Xi's hand that was shaking his sleeve. "You also know that he is Fu Siyu. You want me to provoke Fu Siyu for a strange woman. Do you think I would do such a losing deal?"

"Please." Lu Xi looked at Ye An seriously, with obvious pleading in his eyes, "As long as you can promise me, I will definitely listen to you in everything in the future. If you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west."

Ye Yan raised the corners of his lips with a sinister smile, "You listen to me, and fighting with Fu Siyu, these two things do not constitute any bargaining chips in my eyes."

Lu Xi also knew that there was little hope of asking Ye An for help, but when he heard Ye An say such words with his own ears, Lu Xi was still a little sad.

But the sadness only lasted for a moment. Soon, Lu Xi cheered up. Su Ran was still waiting for her to rescue her. Since Ye An disagreed, she would think of other ways.

Lu Xi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he took the time to ask Ye An, "Are you going to sleep tonight? If so, I'll go take a shower."

Lu Xi's reaction at this time was completely beyond Ye An's expectations.

He thought that Lu Xi would cry, break down, and completely draw a line between herself and him, but Lu Xi, who was usually confused, was very calm at this moment.

Calm, it made him feel uncomfortable.

Ye An's eyes darkened slightly, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously, "No sleep."

"Okay, I'll go up first."

After saying that, Lu Xi turned and went upstairs.

Based on the time they had spent together, she knew that Ye An was a man of his word. Since Ye An was unwilling, there was no need to waste time on him.

Back in the bedroom, Lu Xi first contacted a private detective and asked them to help find the truth behind the nurse.

Then she opened her phone, ready to use Su Ran's account to do some "suggestive" things, using the pressure of public opinion to bring Su Ran back into the public eye.

However, the power of capital is quite strong, especially top capital like Fu Siyu.

Su Ran’s accounts on all major official platforms were banned for a week. She was not banned, but she did not dare to act rashly.

After all, Su Ran only has her to rely on now. If she alerts the enemy, Su Ran will be completely doomed.

Ye An was unwilling to help, so Lu Xi settled for the next best thing and contacted Lan Cheng and Cen Shen.

Even though Lan Cheng and Cen Shen have not yet reached the status and position they had in the original novel, one of them is in a top university or a top hospital, and the other is a rising business star in Jiangcheng. They have more connections than she does.

By the way, there is another person.

Su Ran's account and Lu Xi's account password are shared. Lu Xi naturally knows that Su Ran often chats with Mr. Fu.

Although she was not sure whether Mr. Fu would believe it, she had to take a chance.

Lu Xi sent Su Ran's current situation to Mr. Fu through the short video platform, and then began to calculate how much money he had left to withdraw.

At this time, footsteps were heard at the door. Lu Xi put the phone under the pillow and turned back, "Didn't you say you wouldn't sleep tonight?"

"Leave me alone?"

“…” I was very angry, but the most important thing right now was not to be angry with Ye An.

In order to save time, Lu Xi just lay down and didn't want to waste any more words with Ye An.

But the more obedient she was, the deeper Ye An's frown became.

He walked over, lay down beside Lu Xi, and turned his head to look at Lu Xi.

She closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, but she was not asleep and looked like she didn't want to talk to him.

Ye An's eyes became increasingly gloomy. "Why are you so angry? Is it because of your colleague?"

"I'm not in a bad mood. I'm just accompanying you to sleep." Lu Xi still had his eyes closed.

Ye An lifted Lu Xi's chin and applied a little force. Lu Xi felt pain and finally opened his eyes, looking at Ye An unhappily.

"Fu Siyu is much more dangerous than he looks." Ye An is not someone who would explain things to others, but at this moment, he patiently explained to Lu Xi, "He has a deep background, and even I dare not confront him head-on."

"Since your colleague chose to hide under Fu Siyu's wings, it is her fate to bear this backlash now. Why are you interfering?"

Seeing that Lu Xi remained silent, Ye An reached out and tapped Lu Xi's forehead, "Did you understand what I said?"

"Got it." Lu Xi had read the original novel after all, so he certainly knew how profound Fu Siyu's background and abilities were.

But that was Su Ran, how could she just give up on Su Ran?

"That's good to know." Ye An released Lu Xi's chin, "Go to sleep obediently, and I'll consider giving you a raise tomorrow."

"Okay." Lu Xi yawned vaguely, "You have to treat me to a delicious meal tomorrow night."

Hearing Lu Xi say this, Ye An knew that she had listened to him, and he responded, "Okay."

The next morning, when Ye An left the villa, Lu Xi was trying on clothes in the room. Seeing that he was about to leave, she reminded him not to forget to take her out for a big dinner in the evening.

Perhaps because he rejected Lu Xi's request last night, Ye An was more lenient towards Lu Xi's other requests that could be met.

He promised Lu Xi that he would come back in the evening to pick her up for a good meal.

However, when he finished work in the evening and called Lu Xi to ask what Lu Xi wanted to eat in the evening, the call was not connected.
