Gong Ning's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she didn't look at Xiao Yiting and his sister again.

She turned her head and gave Aunt Rong a sweet, soft smile, "Aunt Rong, I'm so hungry, I want to eat~"

"Everything is ready, Miss, please come with me to the restaurant!"

Gong Ning blinked, and as she walked past Yan Jingzhou, she deliberately straightened her back, glanced at him calmly and composedly, and then looked away with composure.

Her expression was so calm it couldn't be calmer; she seemed to be simply giving him a normal good morning greeting with her eyes.

Her steps quickened, and the tips of her ears involuntarily turned a few streaks of fiery red.

No, she can't look him in the eyes right now...

Upon looking at it, my thoughts uncontrollably drifted in a certain direction related to color...

Tsk, stop!

Yan Jingzhou pursed his lips slightly, a tender and affectionate smile fleeting across his eyes.

Gong Ning's nonchalant attitude made Xiao Yisheng's face turn somewhat uneasy.

But Xiao Yiting remained calm and composed, sitting on the sofa as if he were an observer, with a gentle and affectionate smile on his lips.

He was as approachable and kind as he was when he was governor of Hsiao.

Xiao Yisheng looked at his unassuming demeanor and suddenly lowered her eyes.

Yes, she needs to be smart to protect everything she has now.

Keeping a low profile is the first step.

Thinking this way, Xiao Yisheng slowly calmed down and tried to soften his expression.

The living room was quiet, but the atmosphere carried a subtle sense of tension and impending doom.

Xiao Yiting wore a relaxed smile, as if he were strolling in a garden, and the confidence emanating from him seemed to tell everyone that this was his home turf.

Yan Jingzhou's eyes were indifferent, just as he usually did when facing outsiders; his gaze was like a frozen pool, cold and devoid of warmth.

His thick brows were filled with a chilling frost, and his incomparably handsome face was indifferent, his emotions unreadable.

Xiao Yiting's overbearing attitude was nothing less than a silent declaration of war against him.

However, what appears to be a declaration of war is actually...

Yan Jingzhou's deep eyes were filled with a calm and composed demeanor, as if he had a complete grasp of the overall situation. His thin lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of inexplicable amusement.

Is it overestimating one's own strength like throwing an egg against a rock, or is it being overconfident and self-assured?

There are many ways to test someone's strength, and Xiao Yiting chose the simplest yet most effective method.

Once the other party is shaken by his seemingly arrogant provocation, they will become arrogant and disdainful.

The side that loses its composure first will lose.

Xiao Yiting paused slightly, especially when he saw the all-knowing curve at the corner of his lips.

For the first time, Governor Xiao, who was always calm and composed and never rushed when faced with major events, felt a stifling sensation in his chest, like a punch hitting cotton.

His gaze lingered on Yan Jingzhou's indifferent face for a few moments before he abruptly withdrew his arrogant and smug demeanor, and the smile on his lips became more distant and aloof.

He had long heard of Yan Jingzhou's decisive and ruthless style of doing things...

Seeing you today...

Xiao Yiting's lips curved into a wider smile, and a chilling aura emanated from his lowered eyes.

He underestimated his opponent!

Xiao Yisheng's face, which was not in good condition to begin with, gradually turned deathly pale and ashen.

Her body trembled slightly, and she desperately wanted to leave this oppressive and suffocating place.

When two powerful forces clash, innocent bystanders suffer as a result.
