A god-level beauty system? But I'm already a god-level beauty!

Mu Jingyan and Shen Ye stood outside the door, while Qin Xian stood inside.

Neither of them spoke; they simply stared at each other silently.

The air seemed to freeze.

The silence was particularly oppressive, like an invisible net that enveloped everyone.

Time passed by, second by second.

After a long silence, Qin Xian finally broke the deadlock.

"Hehe, you're back?"

The woman said coldly.

Her tone was flat, devoid of any emotion; she was simply stating a fact.

"Um."

Mu Jingyan nodded gently and lowered her eyes.

"Come back and pack your things."

"......."

Qin Xian gazed at her daughter for a long time.

His gaze slid across her face and then landed on Shen Ye behind her, his arms, which were crossed over his chest, shifted slightly.

Shen Ye became alert.

He thought she was about to attack, so he reached out and pulled Mu Jingyan back.

He blocked half of his body from her.

But Qin Xian simply turned her body to the side and made room for her.

Her movements were very natural, as if she were inviting a guest into the house.

Seeing Shen Ye's wary movements, she smiled.

"He also said that he and my daughter are just ordinary friends."

Her voice was somewhat sarcastic, but she quickly switched back to a calm, expressionless demeanor and said:

"Go in."

Mu Jingyan and Shen Ye both stood at the door for a moment, stunned.

Clearly, they had not expected Qin Xian to react so calmly.

I had thought that even if she didn't physically attack me, she would at least erupt in a hysterical tirade.

They might even make things difficult for them, preventing them from entering the house.

But now...

"What are you standing there for?"

Seeing the two people who didn't move, Qin Xian raised an eyebrow.

"I still have work to do, I don't have time to waste with you guys."

Her tone remained indifferent.

"Hurry up and pack your things, then leave."

Mu Jingyan took a breath.

She grabbed Shen Ye's sleeve and strode inside.

As she passed by Qin Xian, she glanced at her mother.

Qin Xian was also looking at her.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Mu Jingyan couldn't see through the emotions in those eyes.

Those eyes were calm, without any ripples.

She couldn't figure out what her mother was thinking.

All she could do was clutch Shen Ye's sleeve tightly and walk stiffly toward her room.

Shen Ye stayed close to her, remaining vigilant at all times.

His gaze swept across the living room, observing the surrounding environment.

The living room is very large and luxuriously decorated.

The sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet—all the furniture was arranged neatly.

Several paintings hung on the wall, and a few potted plants were placed in the corner.

The entire space was very clean and spotless.

But there was a chill in that cleanliness.

It's more like a showroom than a home.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Mu Jingyan's room.

Mu Jingyan reached out and pushed open the door.

The scene inside the room took Shen Ye by surprise.

It wasn't because the room was messy, or for any other reason.

Instead, the door to this room is transparent.

It's the kind of transparent glass door where you can see what's going on inside from the outside.

And it's not just the door.

The wall between the room and the hallway is also semi-transparent.

People passing by in the corridor could vaguely see the shadows in the room.

Shen Ye walked into the room and looked up at the ceiling.

Then his brows furrowed.

A camera was installed on the ceiling, pointing directly at the center of the room.

The camera is small, but it's clear that the flashing red indicator light is working.

Shen Ye couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Living in such a space with no privacy, the two sisters must be under tremendous pressure...

You have to be careful about your words and actions at all times, as your every move is being monitored.

If Shen Ye were to live here, he probably wouldn't be able to stand it for long.

Mu Jingyan walked to the wardrobe, squatted down, and began to tidy up her clothes.

Her movements were slow, as if she was stalling for time.

Shen Ye stood aside, watching her busy figure.

The girl's shoulders shrugged slightly, looking somewhat forlorn.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Jingyan turned her head to look at him, her big eyes slightly red.

"It's nothing," she said softly.

"I'm just... a bit sentimental."

Shen Ye didn't speak; he knew what she was thinking.

"Thank you for your hard work, and thank you Huanhuan for your hard work too..."

He said softly.

For some reason, when Mu Jingyan heard the words "You've worked hard," she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

It felt like something inside me had shattered.

She tried to hold back, but tears still welled up uncontrollably.

The girl stopped what she was doing.

She squatted there, head bowed, shoulders shrugging.

"If you want to cry, just cry. It's okay."

Shen Ye also squatted down.

He pulled the girl into his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"I'm here."

Mu Jingyan finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She buried her head in Shen Ye's shoulder and burst into tears.

Tears soaked Shen Ye's shoulder.

She choked back tears as she said, "I thought my mother would hit me and scold me when she saw me come back..."

"But at least it proves that Mom still cares about me..."

"But now..."

She wouldn't even say a word to me...

Shen Ye did not interrupt her.

Let her cry out all the grievances in her heart.

After a while, Mu Jingyan's crying gradually stopped.

She stepped out of Shen Ye's embrace and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"Feel sorry......"

Her voice was still choked with sobs.

"I'm fine now."

Shen Ye looked at her red eyes and sighed.

Stop thinking about your mother and think about yourself first.

His tone was very serious.

"You've suffered so much, now you should be thinking about how to live a good life in the future."

"Instead of worrying about these things."

Mu Jingyan kept her head down and didn't say anything.

She knew Shen Ye was right.

But some things always require an adjustment period...

..............

After packing their things, the two prepared to leave.

From the moment they entered the door, the two never saw Qin Xian again.

Her door was tightly closed, and she could hear voices coming from inside, as if they were having an online meeting.

Mu Jingyan walked to Qin Xian's door.

"Knock knock—"

She knocked on the door.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

She said it softly.

Without paying attention to whether Qin Xian had heard him or not, he turned around and left the house with Shen Ye.

"Oh......"

Qin Xian chuckled softly from inside the room.

It's good that you're gone...

If the two daughters had simply run away from home, Qin Xian would have already sent people to bring them back on the first night.

But she didn't do that.

Because the two daughters went to Shen Ye's house.

"Jingyan..."

Qin Xian leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on a spot on the ceiling.

"I hope that next time you come back, you can bring Mom some news she wants to hear..."
