Chen Yan was really out of options.

After all, who could blame him for being too strong?

Lu Man was completely exhausted, while Chen Yan was still in high spirits.

If not for Lu Man constantly begging Chen Yan to speed up, saying she couldn't take it anymore, Chen Yan probably would have made He Mengxue wait a bit longer.

From this, it was clear... the effects of the Constitution Potion were indeed formidable.

Previously, Chen Yan was just an ordinary homebody, but now his body had become so strong.

After feeling proud for a while, Chen Yan gradually gathered his thoughts. He began to ponder how to explain to He Mengxue and how to handle tonight's affair.

Now, with two women by his side, making either of them unaware of any abnormalities was incredibly difficult, almost like climbing to heaven.

At this moment, if there were a prop that could shuttle between two places, that would be perfect.

Thinking this, Chen Yan's gaze fell on his mobile phone, and he opened the game.

He wanted to see if the game would sense his thoughts as before and arrange a corresponding prop for him.

Five minutes later, Chen Yan gave up hope.

He always felt as if the game was making a face at him, with a look that said: "What are you thinking?"

With the game offering no help, Chen Yan could only rely on himself.

He didn't go to find He Mengxue first, but instead sorted Lu Man's soft body into a proper position, covered her with a quilt, and made her a bit more comfortable for sleeping.

Then, Chen Yan quietly called out to Lu Man twice, and seeing that she did not respond, he stealthily went to the inner room to put on the suit he wore this morning.

Next, he went to the study, ripped off a piece of paper, took a pen, and wrote a note.

After writing it, Chen Yan looked around the room, saw a window in the study, went over, opened the window, and then threw the note into a corner.

Subsequently, Chen Yan took the room card and quietly left the room.

Tiptoeing to close the door, Chen Yan left the hotel and headed straight to the nearby convenience store.

At the convenience store, Chen Yan directly bought a bottle of strong liquor and then stepped outside and gulped down a third of the bottle.

His constitution was now too strong; if he drank less, he would barely feel it.

Thus, he needed to drink more to act drunk.

After finishing the liquor, Chen Yan threw away the bottle and, feeling the alcohol's effects, returned to the hotel he shared with He Mengxue.

He took the elevator up, reached the room he shared with He Mengxue.

By then, the alcohol was starting to take effect. Chen Yan, using the buzz from the liquor, began to perform the "businessman who drank too much at a social obligation."

He drunkenly knocked on the door.

In a moment, a cautious voice from He Mengxue came from inside, "Who is it?"

Chen Yan said, "It's me."

Hearing Chen Yan's voice, the sound of someone getting out of bed rustled from inside the room.

In a moment, the door opened, and He Mengxue appeared at the doorway.

Seeing Chen Yan reeking of alcohol, her heart immediately went out to him as she said, "What happened to you? Why did you drink so much?"

Chen Yan, intoxicated, said, "No, nothing. It's just business socializing. Just drank a bit. I'm fine."

He gently embraced He Mengxue, then said, "Xiao Xue, I missed you."

Feeling Chen Yan's body heated from alcohol, feeling his strong embrace, hearing his sweet nothings, He Mengxue's face flushed.

She said, "Alright. I know. I missed you too."

Saying so, she gently supported Chen Yan and walked into the room.

Walking inside, she helped Chen Yan sit on the bed, then turned around to close the door.

Then, she boiled a pot of water with the kettle she brought, took out some honey from her luggage, poured a bit into it, and then brought it to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan, sticking to his act, received the water and was about to drink.

He Mengxue quickly exclaimed softly, "Oh, don't drink it."

Saying so, she took the cup from him, blew on it awhile, and gently told Chen Yan like coaxing a child, "You'll burn yourself."

"How much have you drunk?"

"Too much?"

Would a drunk person admit they drank too much? No.

Thus, Chen Yan quickly waved his hand, "Not too much. Just a few bottles."

He Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yan added, "White liquor."

He Mengxue suddenly choked.

She reproachfully said in pain, "Why did you drink so much? Don't care about your health?"

Chen Yan, embracing her, reassured, "It's fine. My body is strong."

He Mengxue sighed slightly, then continued to blow on the water.

After cooling the water, she helped Chen Yan and fed him the water.

Chen Yan silently finished drinking, then nodded and asked, "By the way, how did things go for you today?"

He Mengxue, while putting the water aside, said, "You need to rest now, not keep working."

Chen Yan replied, "It's okay, I'm very clear-headed."

Seeing Chen Yan insisting while drunk, He Mengxue helplessly rolled her eyes.

Although she didn't want Chen Yan to get too tired after drinking so much, she also worried that if she didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to sleep. So she simply started talking about today's events.

According to her,

She and Qin Ming went to Pang Wenbo's home and had a chat with Pang Wenbo. Pang Wenbo expressed that he would not leave the company.

Then, she and Qin Ming went to meet several other executives Qin Ming had successfully won over and trusted, to probe a bit.

This time, Qin Ming did not say it so explicitly. He just casually asked a few questions and exchanged feelings.

The results were very optimistic.

Thus, the siblings returned to their respective homes, satisfied.

Chen Yan's drunkenness was all an act. Thus, patiently listening to He Mengxue, he praised, "Good, you did well."

"With your probing today, now I am relieved."

After saying this, he added, "Zhang Yonghao has asked to meet me tomorrow."

"I agreed."

"Zhang Yonghao asked you out?" He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan somewhat surprised, "For real?"

"What does he want?"

"Did the matter of Qin Ming and me visiting those executives get exposed?"

Chen Yan shook his head, "It shouldn't have. There was nothing unusual when he called."

"Why then?" He Mengxue puzzledly thought.

Thinking it over, she suddenly looked up, suspiciously staring at Chen Yan and asked, "Chen Yan... are you lying to me? You said you had a wine party today and need to go out, and tomorrow you need to accompany Zhang Yonghao."

"I called you five or six times tonight, and you didn't answer."

"You aren't hiding something from me, are you?"

Chen Yan reached out and firmly slapped He Mengxue's perky bottom.

He Mengxue involuntarily exclaimed.

Chen Yan chided, "What are you always imagining?"

"What could I possibly be hiding from you?"

"Otherwise, I'll send you a video tomorrow."

He Mengxue said, "No need. I'll come with you instead."

Chen Yan hesitated for a split second, "Okay. No problem."

Seeing Chen Yan agree so readily, He Mengxue suddenly doubted: was she overthinking?

Next, it was a repeat of the previous few nights, the two took a bath together, then lay in bed, embraced, chatted for a while, and fell asleep.

After He Mengxue fell asleep, Chen Yan gently got up, put on his clothes, and tiptoed out of the room to the neighboring hotel.

He stayed there for a while, softly called out to Lu Man a few times, and making sure Lu Man, due to being too exhausted, slept deeply, Chen Yan returned to the study.

He picked up the note from the floor.

The note roughly said there was a company matter, Chen Yan was going out to handle it. It told Lu Man to sleep first, and he would be back soon.

Having put this note in his pocket, Chen Yan wrote another note.

This time, the note said: Chen Yan went for a run, and asked Lu Man to call him after she got up.

After writing, Chen Yan threw it into a corner of the room again, then left the room.

The reason for throwing it in the corner was so that if Lu Man got up, it could buy some time.

And if Lu Man couldn't find him later and called him, he could use this note to explain.

After exchanging the notes, Chen Yan hurried back to He Mengxue's hotel.

Quietly opening the door, he went in.

After changing clothes, Chen Yan lay back beside He Mengxue and then drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Chen Yan was awakened by an alarm.

He checked the time; it was 8 AM.

He Mengxue was also woken by the alarm, sleepily snuggling into Chen Yan's arms and muttered, "Why is there an alarm?"

Chen Yan gently patted her back, soothingly saying, "It's okay. I set it for morning run."

"I'll go run and then come back with breakfast for you."

"Okay~~" He Mengxue cooed again, snuggling into Chen Yan's arms.

Chen Yan, smiling, continued to pat her back, holding her until she fell asleep, then gently let her go and got out of bed.

Without washing up, Chen Yan directly changed into casual wear, then went out running to the neighboring hotel.

Reaching the hotel room, Chen Yan first checked on Lu Man, finding her still asleep.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then went to the study to tidy up the notes.

This note said [running], which could mean [night running] or [morning running], allowing him to explain whichever way he chose.

But since Lu Man hadn't woken up, everything was unnecessary.

After cleaning up his preparations, Chen Yan went to the bathroom, washed his face, then picked up his electric toothbrush, and while brushing his teeth, walked towards the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Lu Man was still sleeping.

It seemed, last night Chen Yan had indeed worn this girl out.

Actually... this was also part of the plan.

Approaching Lu Man, Chen Yan gently pinched her nose.

Feeling her nose being pinched, Lu Man cooed playfully, then swatted at Chen Yan's hand, "Stop it. Let me sleep a bit more."

Chen Yan, while continuing to brush his teeth, said, "Okay. You sleep more. I need to go to Headline Technology today to talk with their boss. I probably won't mess around during the day, so you rest well in the hotel."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, smelling the minty toothpaste scent, Lu Man slightly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Yan.

Seeing Chen Yan sitting by her bed brushing his teeth, she nodded, waved, and snuggled back into the blankets, "Go on, go on."

This woman was like a cat.

Happy to be clingy when joyful, usually quite independent, uncaring about the "owner's" comings and goings.

So, Chen Yan didn't mind.

He again smiled and pinched Lu Man's nose, then stood up and left the bedroom.

After straightening his clothes, Chen Yan left the room, then ran to the convenience store, bought breakfast, and smoothly returned to the room he shared with He Mengxue.

Chen Yan might have disturbed He Mengxue when he left, so when he returned, He Mengxue was already up and washing.

Seeing Chen Yan return, He Mengxue didn't notice anything unusual, merely peeking her head out from the bathroom and asked, "Back?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes. I'm back."

The rest of the morning passed very calmly.

After 10 AM, Chen Yan and He Mengxue tidied up a bit, then had Jiang Xiaoyun join them as they went to the dining place arranged with Zhang Yonghao.

Chen Yan was genuinely curious as to what the "Strong Buy Card" actually was and how it made Zhang Yonghao willingly transfer his shares to him...
