The next day.

Yu Guanguan woke up from her sleep.

The sun was shining brightly, and the spot next to the large bed was already empty.

She washed up, got out of bed, and went downstairs to the living room.

"Guan Guan, you're up."

Lou Manyue was sitting in the restaurant waiting for her. When she saw her, she immediately stood up. "Brother Jingzhou said you were exhausted yesterday and told me not to disturb you. Did you sleep well?"

"Um."

Yu Guanguan nodded and glanced around the living room. "Where's Quan Jingzhou?"

"I went to the company."

Lou Manyue said, pulling her to sit down in the restaurant, "I'm going back to the Quan family mansion today. Last time I heard that the old man was sick, and my brother has been urging me to go and see him. Do you want to come with me?"

"I think I'd better not go," Yu Guanguan said. "After all, that old man dislikes me so much."

"But we can't keep avoiding each other like this."

Lou Manyue said, "Actually, I think Grandpa Quan has started to accept you. Why don't you come back with me? Anyway, I'll be leaving soon. If you're not comfortable here, we'll come back immediately."

Yu Guanguan was vaguely tempted by her suggestion.

Actually, Lou Manyue's words made some sense; she was going to marry Quan Jingzhou sooner or later.

Sooner or later, I'll have to meet those people from the Quan family mansion.

This constant avoidance is definitely not a solution.

Moreover, as the head of the Quan family, Quan Jingzhou also bears inescapable responsibilities.

After marrying Quan Jingzhou, she became the legitimate young mistress of the Quan family, and necessary social engagements were unavoidable.

Yu Guanguan recalled the legend of Cassiopeia.

The queen in that story is wholeheartedly assisting the prince in governing the country.

She chose Quan Jingzhou, and she was going to love those responsibilities along with him.

Thinking this, Yu Guanguan nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Okay. Then I'll have the servants prepare some tonics, and we'll set off immediately."

As Lou Manyue spoke, the two went upstairs to change their clothes and headed towards the Quan family mansion.

**

The Quan family mansion was not far from their villa; the two of them arrived in less than twenty minutes by car.

From the outside, this rustic villa looks old, yet it exudes a sense of solemnity and the passage of time.

"Guan Guan, we've arrived."

Lou Manyue stopped the car, reminding Yu Guanguan beside her.

"Oh, okay."

Yu Guanguan breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at the solemn villa in front of her, feeling a bit apprehensive about returning home.

After all, Quan Chengping's disgust for her was still fresh in everyone's mind.

Even though he now says he has accepted her, Yu Guanguan still doesn't want to face that stern old man.

She thought for a moment and said to Lou Manyue, "Manyue, how about I wait for you here?"

Aside from Quan Jingzhou, her impression of the Quan family members wasn't actually very good.

"Why? We're already here," Lou Manyue said. "If you don't want to see Grandpa Quan and the others, then come to my room with me. I lived here when I was a child, and I still have my room."

"All right."

Yu Guanguan took a few deep breaths, got out of the car, and followed Lou Manyue into the villa.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing her arrival, Quan Chengping did not fly into a rage as usual. In fact, he nodded to her calmly, "Yu Guanguan..."

"Quan..." Yu Guanguan really didn't know how to address Quan Chengping, so she could only use the most formal form of address, "Old Master Quan."
