Chapter 10 - Chapter 9: She Moves In... And Everything Falls Apart

Lu Zeyan had survived many disasters in his life.

A hostile takeover at twenty-three.

A board coup attempt at twenty-five.

A media smear campaign last year.

But nothing—nothing—prepared him for Xu Yinyin, moving into his penthouse.

It began with a suitcase the size of a refrigerator.

Then came a second. Then… a hot pink beanbag chair.

Then… a full karaoke machine.

"Why do you have a karaoke machine?" he asked flatly.

She grinned. "I like to scream-sing when I'm emotionally unstable."

"…You're emotionally unstable?"

"Oh yeah. Like, professionally."

That Night

She took the guest room.

Or at least, she was supposed to.

At 2 a.m., she barged into his room wearing unicorn pajamas and holding a frying pan.

"Zeyan. I heard something."

"It's probably the sound of my sanity dying."

"No seriously! What if someone broke in? What if it's an assassin? Or a squirrel with a grudge?!"

He stared. "…Do you need sleeping pills or an exorcist?"

"Both. But for now, I'll sleep here."

And just like that, she dove onto his bed, stole his blanket, and passed out.

Lu Zeyan, the youngest billionaire in China, lay next to her like a hostage.

He didn't sleep at all.

The Next Morning

She cooked breakfast.

Sort of.

There were eggs. There were noodles. There were rainbow sprinkles.

Zeyan walked into the kitchen, stopped, and blinked.

"Did you just… make instant noodles with whipped cream?"

Yinyin beamed. "Gourmet fusion. I call it 'chaos noodles.'"

"…I call it food poisoning."

Later That Day – At Work

She arrived at LUX Group in her signature style:

• Bright yellow power suit.

• Glitter heels.

• Carrying a bag of chips.

Everyone stared.

She winked at the receptionist. "Mrs. Lu has arrived."

The poor girl fainted.

Zeyan walked in behind her, looking like a man on the edge.

The board members had questions.

Investors had panic.

And HR had no idea what her job title even was.

But despite everything, one truth was undeniable:

Xu Yinyin made Lu Zeyan less cold. Less robotic.

Some even saw him smile—for the first time in years.

And in a quiet moment, as she snuck him a candy during a boring meeting…

Zeyan thought to himself:

She's ruining everything I built…

And I don't want her to stop.
