Mrs. Yang spoke in an even tone, undetectable of joy or anger, but Yang Yuran panicked.
Because it was obvious that the question wasn't directed at her, she turned her head towards where Mrs. Yang was looking and murmured with her lips in exasperation, asking the cause of the disturbance: "What are you doing down here?"
Qin Muyu's moderately thick lips moved slightly first, responding to her in kind with a lip message: "I came to handle this."
Then the tall man approached with composure, meeting Mrs. Yang's scrutinizing gaze with an elegant, slight smile as he introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Qin Muyu, a double Ph.D. in finance from Columbia University, currently working at the same company as Yuran. We worked overtime late today, and I took her out for a quick meal. I apologize for bringing her home so late."
Yang Yuran couldn't help but give Qin Muyu a thumbs-up secretly; his way of speaking was unmatched.
