Chapter 171 Eager to draft a proposal as soon as possible, Sage brought her laptop to the adjacent guest room to avoid bumping into lan After several hours of work, she realized she couldn't do it. After all, she had not personally gone to gather information, so she couldn’t cup with the necessary data. Everything she wrote felt wrong.

Sage felt a shadow looming over her as she wondered whether she should visit Collin tomorrow. Looking up, she was surprised to see lan standing next to her.

Sage was about to close her laptop, but lan had already seen what she was doing and asked aloud, “Why are you collecting data from Professor Braun's research institute?” She realized there was no point in hiding it now that he’d seen it. “I think their drug has potential. I'd like him to givethe distribution rights,” she explained.

“Huh?” lan frowned. “What's gotten into you all of a sudden?” “I'm sure you invested in their institute because you believe their research has potential, right? So why can’t | be interested in it?” she asked.

He glanced at her. “Professor Braun's situation isn’t as simple as you think. Please don’t get involved in everything you cacross.” In short, he was accusing her of getting involved in his project to spite him.

“I'm dead set on getting it,” she snarled. “Don’t you dare stop me!! lan suppressed his anger. “The drug hasn't even been launched yet. No one can guarantee its success. What will you do if it doesn’t turn out to be profitable?” “It’s alright. | have you to backup 1 don’t hit the jackpot.” Sage grinned. “After all, you did say that we're in this together. Your money is mine too.” lan was at a loss for words. “You sure are banking on a long shot.” “Of course! Why wouldn't | rely on you when | can? I'm not stupid, you know?” Sage responded confidently. She wasn't afraid of him making a first.

After all, her goal was to prevent the distribution rights from falling into the hands of Ivy or Henri. Everything else was secondary.

“Anyway, what brings you here?” She changed the topic.

lan replied calmly, “It's getting late. I'm here to remind you to go to sleep. I'm a light sleeper. I'm afraid you'll wakeup if you go to bed later.” Sage was itching to snap back at him. If he was such a light sleeper, he could always just go back to his room. Why did he have to sleep with her in the master bedroom? After all, Grandma hadn't installed any surveillance cameras. There was no way she would know where he slept.

However, she bit her tongue, powered off her laptop, and returned to the room.

lan trailed behind her at a steady pace. It made her feel as if he were an eager puppy who had been waiting for his busy owner to join him in bed.

Sage took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. lan had already laid down on the bed and closed his eyes when she emerged from her shower.

Sage deliberately dawdled. She took her tmoisturizing her skin and blow-drying her hair. Sage only crawled into her blanket when she suspected Tan had dozed off.

In the past, when the couple shared a room, she either slept on the chaise lounge or was too drunk or tired to notice lan was next to her on the bed.

But now, she could feel his breath and smell his scent since she was in the sbed with him. Only a blanket separated them.
