It was already nine o’clock in the evening, the darkness of the night settling in around Ji Yunmiao as she returned to her place. With a sigh of relief, she stepped inside, the comforting familiarity of her home enveloping her like a warm embrace. Hastily kicking off her high heels, she made her way to the wardrobe, her tired muscles yearning for the solace of a hot shower.

Moments later, the sound of running water filled the air as Ji Yunmiao luxuriated in the soothing embrace of the shower. The warm cascade washed away the stress of the day, leaving her feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Wrapping her long hair in a towel, she emerged from the bathroom, her senses on high alert.

To her astonishment, the tranquility of her home was shattered by the presence of two unexpected guests. “Ah!” Ji Yunmiao’s startled cry echoed through the room, her heart pounding with a mixture of shock and apprehension.

Instinctively, she clutched at her bathrobe, the realization dawning upon her that she was not alone. Her bathrobe, typically worn loosely after a shower, now felt like a flimsy shield against the intrusion of the outside world.

But as her eyes darted around the room, she realized her mistake. Qin Lu, ever the gentleman, had averted his gaze the moment she stepped into view, sparing her any embarrassment.

Unbeknownst to him, his impeccable timing had spared him from catching a glimpse of her exposed form. His standards were high, reserved only for the woman he held dear, Nan Yan. To him, the sight of another woman’s body held no allure, only disdain.

Meanwhile, Nan Yan’s casual demeanor belied the tension in the air as she greeted Ji Yunmiao with a nonchalant “Hello, Miss Ji.”

Caught off guard, Ji Yunmiao’s mind raced with a jumble of conflicting emotions. Dread and fear gnawed at her, a reminder of her past defeat at Nan Yan’s hands. Though she harbored a desire to confront Nan Yan, to make her feel the discomfort she herself had endured, the thought of facing her adversary in person filled her with dread.

“How did you get in here?” Ji Yunmiao’s voice trembled with apprehension as she confronted Nan Yan, her eyes betraying a mixture of wariness and panic. Nan Yan’s response was as casual as ever, her words dripping with a sense of entitlement. “Of course, we came to see you,” she remarked, her tone leaving no room for argument.

And with that, the tension in the room reached its breaking point as Nan Yan made her move, leaving Ji Yunmiao to grapple with the unsettling presence of her unexpected guests.

“Ah!” she cried out, her voice echoing through the room as she braced herself for what was to come..
