Following the butler's gaze, Mu Qian looked up and saw that Long Jingyan had already walked in.

A man with excellent looks, excellent physique, and top-notch qualities in every aspect.

Wherever they appear, they are a beautiful sight.

"Shallowly".

Long Jingyan called out affectionately, his eyes fixed on Mu Qian.

Unbeknownst to them, there was another person sitting in the living room.

"Why are you here today?" Mu Qian asked, puzzled. "Didn't you say you were going on a business trip yesterday?"

"It was canceled at the last minute," Long Jingyan explained. "I just happened to be passing by this area, so I brought some pan-fried buns from your favorite place."

"The one at the intersection of South Street?" Mu Qian's eyes lit up, revealing her true foodie nature.

"Mmm." Long Jingyan's voice was full of doting affection.

The two chatted in a very pleasant atmosphere, like a couple deeply in love.

"I haven't had breakfast either, would you mind if I joined you?"

Xu Ningyan, who was just working diligently, has now stood up, pushed up his glasses, and a wicked aura spread across his face.

Long Jingyan's gaze shifted from Mu Qian to Xu Ningyan.

The gentleness that had just been there had now turned into coldness and distance.

"Long time no see, Brother Yan," Xu Ningyan greeted him first.

If that hadn't happened more than a decade ago...

Xu Ningyan's surname is not Xu; he should be called Long Ningyan.

He should become one of the heirs of the Long family, just like Long Jingyan.

Xu Qingfeng was expelled from the Long family because he did something forbidden.

Ultimately, the fact remains that Long Jingyan and Xu Ningyan share the same bloodline from the Long family.

Caught in the middle, Mu Qian clearly sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat strange...

However, she felt like an outsider.

It was as if there was a thin dividing line between me and Long Jingyan and the others. Even though we were very close, I couldn't hear what they were saying very clearly.

Mu Qian frowned, as if she wanted to raise her hand to express something.

The raised hand became transparent again.

Just like when you wake up and the sun shines through, instantly illuminating your arm.

The arm became transparent.

"I……"

Mu Qian asked herself, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Her voice finally caught the attention of Long Jingyan and Xu Ningyan.

They all looked at her...

At the same time, panic and confusion appeared in both of their eyes.

Then, Mu Qian saw them both rush towards her, "Qianqian."

"Xiao Qian!"

Suddenly, everything went black for Mu Qian, and she collapsed heavily to the ground.

Just as they were about to make intimate contact with the ground, Long Jingyan reacted quickly and caught them.

His brows were furrowed, "Qianqian, Qianqian..."

No matter how they called out to her, they couldn't wake Mu Qian up.

Long Jingyan could no longer calm down, picked up Mu Qian and started to walk out.

Xu Ningyan stopped her, "Where are you taking her?"

"It's none of your business." Long Jingyan's voice was chillingly cold.

Xu Ningyan showed no intention of moving aside. "Brother, wake up."

"Mu Qian is already in a vegetative state, almost like a dead person."

"Why do you need to enter her dreams and create these empty dreams for her?"

"You're not deceiving her, you're deceiving yourself."

Xu Ningyan's words tugged at Long Jingyan's heart.

He raised his foot and kicked Xu Ningyan hard in the stomach. "Shut up."

Xu Ningyan took the kick hard, but still stubbornly continued, "I know, she is everything to you, she is your life."

"But the people of the world are innocent. Why must you make them all die with her?"

"Hand her over. Our world needs her. Only she can keep our world alive."
