She leaned back slightly in her seat, her long, fluffy, and smooth black hair casually cascading down her face. Her small, delicate face was partially obscured by strands of hair, making it appear even more exquisite and petite. Her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards in a gentle smile. The sunlight streaming in from the window cast a soft glow on her face.
Gu Qingyan stared blankly, unable to resist reaching out to gently stroke her hair. Shen Zhi Qiu frowned slightly but then let go, suddenly smiling sweetly. In her sleep, she was like a gentle fairy, but unfortunately, when she was awake, she was like a hedgehog with its claws outstretched.
"Uncle Chen, when did she change?" Gu Qingyan asked Shen Zhi Qiu, his tone somewhat helpless.
Uncle Chen glanced in the rearview mirror and clearly sensed the change in the young mistress. He cautiously spoke up, "Young Master, actually, before Miss Xiao returned to the country, the young mistress was very good to you. To be honest, what girl isn't jealous, especially Miss Xiao..."

"Let's do it another day, I have something urgent to attend to today. You can try going with your friends first. Now that you're back in China, you should make sure to stay in touch with your friends back home." Gu Qingyan didn't linger, quickly walked out of the villa, and drove away.
Xiao Wanqing felt a lump in her throat. She hadn't expected Gu Qingyan to reject her. Her nose suddenly stung, and tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped away her tears and looked up at the upstairs room with resentment.
