"Atao, to be honest, I was indeed a little angry and sad because Brother Xun married someone else, but that's all in the past. I still love Brother Xun, so of course I won't blame him. He was only seduced by someone with ill intentions and was momentarily blinded by greed... But I really can't stand Yi Yi's pretentious behavior. Look at her, she stole my man and is still so at ease, bossing us around all day long. I can let it go myself, but I'm afraid that she's nice to you all on the surface, but who knows what she'll say to Brother Xun in private, asking him to stand up for her."
"That's right. If she hadn't said something to the young master, he wouldn't have scolded me so early in the morning. I didn't do anything wrong! That woman is really shameless!"
Knowing that Atao had completely fallen into her trap, Xia Bingqing sighed in feigned frustration and said, "Sigh, what can we do? She's the young mistress, the lady of the house. If she wants someone to have a hard time, she can just say the word and that person will suffer."
"Why? Is there no justice in this world? A shameless woman who steals other women's boyfriends can live so well, while we, who earn our living with our own hands, have to put up with her! I refuse to believe that if she can use despicable means to seduce men and drive others away, then so can we!"
“Atao, the fact that you think this way shows that you still have potential. A happy life is something you have to strive for. I’m already disheartened and don’t want to fight for anything anymore. But you’re different. You’re still so young and so beautiful. You really should plan for yourself. Look at you, you’ve worked all day and sweated so much. Why don’t you go take a shower and dress up nicely?”
"Getting dressed up... It's so late, what's the point of getting dressed up? Young Master is already asleep."
"Opportunity favors the prepared mind. If you are not always prepared, you will only be able to watch it slip away when it comes."
Upon hearing this, Atao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then, Miss Xia, according to your suggestion, how should I prepare to seize the opportunity and attract the young master's attention?"
"It's not too late yet, and Brother Xun might come out of the room in a little while. You should take this opportunity to take a shower, change into some pretty and sexy clothes, and put on some beautiful makeup, especially the foundation I gave you. Dress up nicely and appear in front of Brother Xun. Nighttime is when people's willpower is weakest. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can attract Brother Xun's attention."
"I... Miss Xia, do you really think I can do this?"
"Of course you can. You're so beautiful, even I, a woman, would like you, let alone Brother Xun."
Hearing Xia Bingqing's words, Atao felt a surge of joy. She hummed in agreement and, forgetting all the work she still had to do, rushed into her room.
It wasn't until Atao entered the room that Xia Bingqing let out a cold snort and revealed her true colors.
"What are you? You think you're so great just because I praised you a couple of times? You really think you're as beautiful as an angel. Oh well, you walked right into this mess, so don't blame me."

As night deepened, everyone in the villa slept soundly.
Only Atao, with a restless heart, was pacing back and forth in the bedroom hallway, wearing a black lace nightgown that revealed a large expanse of her back, with exquisite makeup and a thick layer of foundation on her face and neck.
