Although the system did not admit it, its tone made Xu Wanying even more convinced.
[Ha, so what if I guessed right? Xing Xiaoya is a woman of destiny. She's met Cen Shi now, and look how happily they're chatting. Cen Ying will soon come to like her resilient yet gentle-on-the-inside character, and might even want to adopt her as her goddaughter and bring her back to the Marquis's mansion.]
[As they interacted more frequently, they naturally ran into Jiang Chengli, and everything that followed fell into place!]
The two below seemed to have started chatting, and the system seemed relieved, no longer hiding anything, and simply revealed the storyline directly.
Xu Wanying pursed her lips and remained silent.
Soon after, Cen Ying turned and left, heading straight upstairs, leaving Xing Xiaoya completely bewildered.
Xu Wanying immediately launched an attack: [Hey, System, is this what you meant by Cen Shi liking Xing Xiaoya? They only exchanged one sentence, and she already likes him?]
The system, utterly unconvinced, replied: "Hmph, just you wait and see. Cen Shi definitely came up here for something else, like retrieving something for Xing Xiaoya. She'll be downstairs soon to continue her chat!"
The man was engrossed in his conversation with Yitong, completely oblivious to the sudden change in Li Chunlan's expression behind him.

"Where is Jinyu?" she asked.
“My little sister said she’s tired and is resting in the private room. Mother, why don’t we go in and keep her company?” Li Chunlan answered proactively, and even walked over enthusiastically, directly pulling Cen Ying’s hand to lead her into the private room.
Her movements were very urgent, clearly indicating that she wanted to stop Cen Ying from going downstairs.
Cen Ying raised an eyebrow. She already had a clue. The system had probably just revealed Xing Xiaoya's identity.
The three women—mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law—hurried to the private room and, after sitting down, began to chat about everyday things.
The system waited for a while, but there was still no further movement from Cen Ying. It immediately asked, puzzled, "[Wait, wait, why isn't Cen Shi coming downstairs? Xing Xiaoya is still downstairs!]"
