Ning Zeyuan glanced casually at the inconvenient Si Yue, pointed to the villa a dozen meters away, and said, "Miss Shi, what a coincidence, I didn't expect we would become neighbors."
Shi Lan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and smiled, but she didn't believe his claim of coincidence at all.
What coincidence would lead him to spend money to maintain a green space that doesn't belong to him? What coincidence would lead him to become her neighbor? You know, the family that lived next door before really liked this place.
Having traveled through so many worlds, Shi Lan was no longer a naive child. Men looked at women they liked differently, and Ning Zeyuan made her feel that difference.
Si Yue glanced at the domineering and aloof Ning Zeyuan, then at the delicate and reserved Shi Lan, and suddenly realized that he was a bit superfluous standing there.

Shi Lan frowned as she watched him leave, feeling a mix of emotions.
Seeing Shi Lan's expression, Ning Zeyuan's deep eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to give a cold glance at the figure that had already walked away.
