Half an hour later, Lu Jinyan stopped the car.

After getting out of the car, he stood in front of the small 12-story apartment building, frowning with disdain.

"You live in this little apartment?" he asked.

Wen Duoduo was already reluctant to let him know where she lived, and now that her little ’secret’ was exposed, she felt very displeased.

She glanced at him with irritation and said, "This apartment isn’t small, fifty or sixty square meters is already huge for just me, and an apartment with this kind of setup costs two thousand a month in rent!"

She pursed her lips, speaking with frustration.

Even a small sparrow has all the necessary organs; of course, I can’t compare to Master Lu Jinyan who grew up in a mansion.

Lu Jinyan tugged at the corner of his mouth lightly and said, "I offered you to stay in my apartment rent-free, but you didn’t want to, and instead you came to live in this tiny apartment. Do you have a tendency for masochism?"

"You’re the one with a masochism tendency! I already said I want to resign, yet you’re chasing after me asking me to come back to work; who’s the real masochist here?"

Wen Duoduo immediately retorted sharply.

"..." Lu Jinyan was at a loss for words.

True enough, thinking about it like that, it does seem to be the case.

He laughed at himself and said, "Since we’re on the topic, have you thought it over? Come back to work as my assistant; your resignation letter hasn’t been processed yet. Strictly speaking, you’re still my assistant."

He walked up to her, arms crossed, his amber eyes shining with an unusual brightness in the darkness.

When Wen Duoduo heard that her resignation letter hadn’t been processed, she was stunned.

"I submitted my resignation letter to the administration, how could it not be processed?"

Lu Jinyan smiled faintly and said, "Because I intercepted it."

"You intercepted it? Why!"

His words caught Wen Duoduo off guard, making her extremely uneasy. She looked at him angrily and said, "That was my decision, who are you to decide for me? Lu Jinyan, are you a pervert? Why insist on me being your assistant?!"

He lifted his eyes to glance at her and said nonchalantly, "So far, you’re the most cooperative and the one who satisfies me the most."

"But weren’t you disdainful of me before?"

"But you did a great job, more than capable of handling the work."

"But I don’t want to."

"But you have no choice."

He responded to each of her remarks and pointed out sharply:

"You just mentioned the apartment rent is two thousand, and the deposit is probably not small either. Deduct the moving expenses, and your few months’ salary at work can’t even cover a few months’ rent. Am I wrong? I know, you actually really need a job; otherwise, you wouldn’t have given up on your beloved streaming to apply for an office job at Curtis."

Wen Duoduo stared at him in disbelief, feeling irritated by his foresight.

She hated his sharp tongue and hated even more his ability to see through everything.

So infuriating!

"Whether I can afford to eat and whether I need a job have nothing to do with you! I will resubmit my resignation letter to the administration, and if you interfere again, I’ll never let it go!"

She finished speaking angrily, arms crossed with fury, and stomped angrily in her high heels towards the apartment complex.

However, just as she stepped into the elevator, thinking she would no longer have to see Lu Jinyan’s annoying face, suddenly an arm thrust in, blocking the door from closing.

When Wen Duoduo looked up, she saw Lu Jinyan stepping in with one long leg, then swiftly squeezing his whole body into the elevator.
