This action made Yue Yao take a deep breath and then close her eyes.

This was the scene she had been longing and hoping for. Now, after several months of getting closer and understanding each other more, she didn't feel as pessimistic about the future. She had more anticipation and didn't have the mindset of "missing this opportunity means missing out forever."

At this moment, she felt that no matter what Li Yan did to her, she would happily accept it with great anticipation. But when the camisole was lifted, she noticed his big hand didn't follow through; he seemed to be purely admiring at close range... Being stared at so closely made Yue Yao a bit embarrassed.

"I'll head out first."

"Okay." Yue Yao replied softly, saying little but confident that Li Yan would be cautious not to let Zhang Yurong see him when he went out.

Li Yan came out from the guest room and hadn't encountered Yurong; when he reached the restaurant downstairs, he saw her already there.

"What took you so long? Haven't you changed clothes a long time ago? How did you end up slower than me?" Yurong was in good spirits, asking him as he came downstairs.

Li Yan sat down casually and said, "Hehe, you're the one who needs to go to work early. If I go early with you, it'll just make people suspicious. Besides, don't women spend a lot of time on grooming and changing clothes? I didn't expect you to finish so quickly."

"You're just lazy!" Yurong glared at him. For someone in her position, even if she's naturally beautiful, she can't go to work without any makeup. Proper grooming is necessary, but for her, mainly fixing her hair, applying makeup, and as for clothes, she was quick at putting on her professional attire, without much need to choose.

"Where's Yue Yao?" Li Yan had lost control earlier, and now, facing his wife, he felt somewhat guilty.

Yurong shook her head, saying, "Yue Yao doesn't need to go to work. She needs more rest now and doesn't need to wake up early like us. I've told Aunt Liu to heat up her breakfast when she wakes up."

"Oh."

Li Yan began eating breakfast.

Watching Li Yan, Yurong seemed to have a feeling of rediscovering him. Firstly, the things he said last night had a good enlightening effect, philosophical, with a panoramic vision and mindset no lazy, unambitious person would have!

Although the company first screens candidates based on education level, Yurong herself doesn't have any prejudice against low education. Because in her father Zhang Tianyi's generation and even earlier, the first-generation entrepreneurs, many hadn't received higher education yet succeeded in the commercial world, even dominated a region. They undergo experiences in society, life, and commerce that school can't give, learning from others, summarizing from personal experiences, acquiring systematic knowledge through continuous study and self-study.

Even Li Jiacheng from earlier times didn't attend school, and Ford, the founder of Ford Motor, was even sued for lacking the culture to lead the company. Facing doubts and a pile of questions testing his capabilities, he said he only needs to press a button on his desk to have the most professional person answer those questions. Why would he need to understand and answer them individually?

Even Yurong's own leadership abilities weren't acquired from school but developed, self-taught, explored, and accumulated through work step by step. And Li Yan's calmness when faced with problems is entirely different from helpless resignation! Now, besides seeing his leadership skills, she thinks he has a layer of mystery. Only he knows what he did last night.

"What are you staring at?" Li Yan looked up, feeling a bit uncomfortable being gazed at.

While eating breakfast, Yurong asked, "Why did you think of monitoring other company executives? Why suspect them? I didn't think of this."

"Trust people you use, don't use those you distrust. You're familiar with them, you trust them. They're a team united around you to assist you. Suspecting them is indirectly suspecting yourself." Hearing the suspicions lie in this area, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and naturally answered. "As for me, I'm not familiar with them, so how can I trust them? Also, I like imagining problems from a worst-case scenario to ensure the best results. Strategically speaking, regarding Zhou Shiru's matter, it's unlikely to be concealed well until the last moment. Possibly someone helped cover it up in some link."

"Really?" Yurong murmured to herself, "Perhaps. I can't be too complacent. I shouldn't be overly confident in myself."

"It's unrelated to you. Your position requires you to trust them; otherwise, you can't get things done. I, on the other hand, have no pressure, and even if I guess wrong, offending people is not a concern, so I can be reckless."

"But I have some suspicions…"

"Suspicion about what?" Seeing Yurong stare at him, Li Yan showed a sincere smile, not avoiding her gaze.

"I suspect that the person who hacked into others' computers is you! Are you a hacker?"

Facing this suspicion, Li Yan was amused. He had always been intrigued by Guan Ziyi and 5261941's hacking skills, but since hacking isn't something that can be learned overnight, he could only admire from afar. To his surprise, due to the scene on Lin Fenni's computer, his wife misunderstood him as a hacker. He immediately thick-skin defaulted: "Haha, hehe… Seems like the weather is nice today!"

Nice weather! Zhang Yurong was speechless. Is this trying to change the subject or admitting?

"It's really you? You wouldn't hack into mine and Yue Yao's computer to view our privacy, right?"

Uh… Li Yan was sweating a bit. Why think in this direction? I did it to help you this time! A tiny bit of vanity can't compare to the weight of blame. "Well… Actually, it was my friend. I'm not that skilled personally. I'm also not interested in hacking into your computers. One is all work documents, the other is novel drafts. I can guess there's nothing private to see. Besides, if I wanted to check your computers, I could sneak a peek when you're not around; why would I need to hack?"

Yurong looked at him without speaking further. Maybe he had a point, but… to hack multiple computers simultaneously in a short period and show him the screens requires extraordinary skills, right? Such hacker friends aren't easily made. And to help instantly at any critical moment, such friends aren't ordinary either?

"Any other doubts?" Seeing her silent, not knowing what she was contemplating, Li Yan softly asked.

Yurong looked at him in that state and smiled lightly: "No doubts, just curious. If you're willing to tell me, I'd love to know how you met such an extraordinary hacker friend. Maybe we can hire him as a computer security consultant for our company."

"Well…" Li Yan didn't anticipate her curiosity about this, unlike yesterday's Zheng Yixuan was ready with an answer, thinking carefully about how best to respond.

"Don't tell me it's someone you met at a nightclub?" Yurong looked at him with a teasing smile, suddenly suspecting Zheng Yixuan might indeed be his good friend!

"No! How could it be at a nightclub? Hackers are, of course, met online."

"Online? Hacker tech forums?" Yurong continued probing.

With no choice for reasonable explanation, he had to mention 5261941 as a friend who shares videos. Not knowing if 526 at this moment might be sneezing all over.

Seeing her without further words, Li Yan smiled, saying, "See, how about just regarding your husband as a hacker and admire me a bit? Why insist on breaking the pot to get to the truth when the truth is less exciting than fantasy?"

"Can't be bothered to talk to you." Yurong snorted lightly. She had to rush to battle today, not in the mood to analyze much. She quickly finished breakfast and left before Li Yan.

After Yurong left, Yue Yao happened to come downstairs. Meanwhile, Li Yan received a message from Zhang Yurong: "You deliberately say things disgustingly on purpose! I already know your truth!"
