[Main story complete] (My first completed work, so it's relatively amateurish. Chapter comments are open.)
If Bai Yilai hadn't gotten a whim to go to a bar that night, she probably would never have met An Siyuan in her life.
But An Siyuan's arrival was so sudden and merciless, barging into Bai Yilai's life without warning.
An Siyuan said she was a broke deadbeat with a million in debt.
Too bad her acting was truly awful.
Bai Yilai learned project operations, fundraising, and monetizing traffic from An Siyuan. More than once, she wondered how a broke deadbeat had picked up all these skills. Was An Siyuan really the good-for-nothing poor person she claimed to be?
It wasn't until Bai Yilai saw An Siyuan's bank balance that she completely lost it.
An Siyuan, a penniless deadbeat in name only, was actually a genuine rich second-generation heiress. Her WeChat balance alone started at a million.
When Bai Yilai exposed her, An Siyuan merely shrugged and said, "Now you know. Don't ask too many questions."
Bai Yilai thought of An Siyuan as a bottle of ink whose past she couldn't see, while she herself was a blank sheet of paper, still innocent of the ways of the world.
But when ink meets blank paper, it is bound to leave a mark that can never be erased.
So Bai Yilai leaned close to An Siyuan's face and whispered, "Boss An, why did you come clean?"
Did you realize I like you?
And do you, perhaps, have even the slightest improper thoughts about me too?

The romance moves slowly at first. More relationship-focused than plot-focused.
