Fan Xinglan just couldn’t understand: "Why are you thanking me? There’s no need to be so formal."

Except for the beginning, when Yun Qiqi was still unfamiliar with them and would say thank you, she had been interacting naturally with them since then.

Hearing her say it again suddenly made everyone feel a bit out of place.

But soon they didn’t dwell on it, and Young Master Mao quickly said: "By the way, Little Sister-in-law, Sister Yubing is coming back from M Country, arriving tomorrow. Shall we go to the airport together to pick her up?"

Yun Qiqi frowned, her small face puzzled: "Who?"

Another person directly said: "You don’t know Sister Yubing? Oh, I almost forgot, you have no memory. Anyway, she’s Fan Xinglan’s sister, and we’ve all met her before, we’ve even played together."

Only Fan Xinglan and Fu Lifei, who knew about the grudge between Yun Qiqi and Fan Yubing back then, wished they could cover someone’s mouth and drag them away.

Especially Fan Xinglan, whose expression didn’t look good. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, said nothing, just carefully glanced at Yun Qiqi.

Afraid that she might remember the past and hold a grudge.

Ever since the incident that almost harmed Yun Qiluo back then, Fan Yubing hadn’t come back for two years, nor appeared in the group.

The rest of the troublemaking group still missed her a bit and were looking forward to seeing her, unaware of the strange expressions on Fan Xinglan and Fu Lifei.

After listening, Yun Qiqi was dazed for several seconds, then responded with a faint "Oh."

Her cold and pale little face showed no expression.

Her attitude was written all over with detachment.

She didn’t participate much in the conversation after that, nor did she touch the food.

Fan Xinglan couldn’t help but pull Fu Lifei aside: "Little Sister-in-law seems a bit unhappy today, and was quite distant towards us. Could she have remembered something about my sister?"

Fu Lifei was still calm: "Probably not, and besides, that incident was a long time ago. Little Sister-in-law isn’t someone who holds grudges, and she even forgot Brother Yan, so how could she remember Sister Yubing."

Fan Xinglan thought it made sense after hearing it, but still felt guilty.

To this day, he felt guilty about his sister tricking the Little Sister-in-law into the tiger’s den back then.

He scratched his head: "Am I overthinking? But Little Sister-in-law really seems off today."

Until they were about to leave, Yun Qiqi hadn’t communicated much with them.

When Yan Yan got off work, he saw her sitting there alone, her whole being exuding an aura of coldness and detachment. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He went over, pulled her into his embrace, feeling the girl stiffen for a moment, and then unconsciously lean against him softly.

"Little Gua, I have to go on a business trip to the neighboring city tomorrow, want to come with me?"

Yun Qiqi’s eyes showed a hint of struggle, but in the end, she subconsciously followed her heart: "Mm..."

She tightened her grip on the arm wrapped around her waist, not wanting to leave him.

Not seeing him for a few days made her feel uncomfortable.

Particularly uneasy, but she couldn’t pinpoint where the unease was coming from, a kind of inexplicable fear.

Only by his side did she feel the safest.

Yet, there seemed to be another voice inside her resisting him.

While she was still in a daze, struggling, Yan Yan naturally put her into his car and took her back to the Yan Family to sleep with him.

Thus, Shi Yunshen, who was waiting to talk to her and check on her condition, waited all day without seeing her return to the apartment.
