Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

She hesitated for a long time before replying: 【Goodnight~】

Shen Yan smiled when he saw her reply. The girl was naive and he couldn't rush things. Now that they were neighbors, they had the advantage of proximity. He put his phone on the bedside table, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

On the other side, Lin Jiaqian tossed and turned, while Shen Yan saw his missed calls, which he never ignored. She had been waiting for thirty minutes, but he hadn't replied.

She wanted to call again, but had no excuse, and in frustration, she threw her phone aside.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off.

The next day.

Shen Yan walked to the door of Bai Qianqian's villa and rang the doorbell. A maid opened the door. "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your young lady." Shen Yan was carrying a bag.

"May I ask your surname, sir? I need to go in and ask you something." The maid didn't dare to let him in on her own.

"No need, just give this breakfast to her for me. My surname is Shen." After he finished speaking, he handed the breakfast to the maid and turned to leave.

Before the maid could say anything more, he had already left. The maid had no choice but to take the things and walk into the villa, just in time to see Bai Qianqian coming downstairs. "Miss, this was given to you by a Mr. Shen."

Upon hearing the surname Shen, Bai Qianqian knew it was Shen Yan, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. "Where is he?"

"I didn't dare let him in. I told him I needed to come in first and ask, and then he left," the maid answered truthfully.

"Okay, it's alright, just give me the things." Bai Qianqian took the things and saw that the outer packaging indicated it was from a famous restaurant in Kyoto. She liked the breakfast from this restaurant very much.

"Miss, have you made any friends here?" Aunt Zhang asked gossipily upon hearing this.

"Um... he's Ye Ting's brother. He visited me often when I was hospitalized last time," Bai Qianqian explained.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Ma could tell that her young mistress had a good impression of this Mr. Shen. She smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Shen has done his homework and knows that the young mistress likes to eat breakfast at this place."

"Aunt Zhang~" Bai Qianqian blushed for no apparent reason, "It might just be a coincidence."

"Well, coincidentally, out of so many breakfast shops, he just happened to choose this one." Aunt Zhang smiled kindly. It would be nice if Miss Qianqian could find a man who likes and cherishes her, she thought to herself.

"Aunt Zhang, you're making fun of me. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to eat breakfast." Bai Qianqian said embarrassedly, taking her breakfast to the dining room.

She took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Shen Yan: 【Thank you for breakfast.】

Shen Yan: [You're welcome, I'm glad you like it.]

Bai Qianqian: [This breakfast place doesn't offer delivery, and it's quite far from here. You didn't go all the way there just to buy it, did you?]

Shen Yan: [I'm willing to travel any distance as long as you're happy.]

Bai Qianqian truly regretted asking such a question. Seeing this answer, her heart suddenly started racing. Was it what she thought it meant? Did he... buy it specifically for her?

She didn't know how to answer, her mind was in turmoil, so she just started eating breakfast.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Shen Yan didn't send any more messages, giving her some time to process them.

After having breakfast, Bai Qianqian went to school. The neighborhood wasn't far from the school, but it was more than a 20-minute walk away, so she took the bus every day, which only took one stop.

Her family arranged a driver, but she felt it was unnecessary. She just wanted to keep a low profile while studying here, and besides, she really liked this kind of life.

He Jiaojiao was walking to the corner of the school when she saw Bai Qianqian get off the bus. She quickly and secretly took a picture. She didn't expect that Bai Qianqian was so poor that she would take the bus to school. Judging from her clothes, they were so plain and simple that they were not designer brands at all.

Bai Qianqian's clothes are all custom-made, while He Jiaojiao has never even had the chance to come into contact with this brand. Her world consists only of those common and well-known luxury brands.

She immediately sent the photo to Lin Jiaqian: "Bai Qianqian's family isn't well-off; she takes the bus to school."

Lin Jiaqian hadn't slept well all night and ate breakfast with panda eyes. She only perked up a bit after seeing the message. Turns out she was just a poor loser. How could she be worthy of Shen Yan? It seems she must have known about Shen Yan's family background to seduce him. She wanted to climb the social ladder and become a phoenix. Dream on!

"Jiaqian, what's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?" Lingxia noticed that she looked listless.

"N-nothing, I didn't sleep well last night. I've eaten, I'm going to school now." Lin Jiaqian was afraid that Ling Xia would notice something was wrong, so she made an excuse to leave.

She got into the car and then texted He Jiaojiao: "You deliberately made an excuse to go to her house after school tonight. I want to know where she actually lives? I strongly suspect she's living with my brother."

He Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, the progress is so fast?"

Lin Jiaqian: [This kind of woman is desperate to snag a rich husband, so of course she'll be very proactive.]

He Jiaojiao: [Okay, I'll take care of it.]

After sending the message, He Jiaojiao put her phone in her bag and jogged over. "Qianqian, good morning."

"Jiaojiao, good morning." Bai Qianqian smiled.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" He Jiaojiao asked casually.

"I've already eaten," Bai Qianqian replied as she walked.

After a long day of classes, He Jiaojiao finally made it home.

Seeing Bai Qianqian packing her things, she quickly went over and said, "Qianqian, can I come to your house for dinner tonight? My parents are out socializing, and I don't like eating alone."

Bai Qianqian didn't know how to refuse, so she could only agree: "Okay."

"Qianqian, you're so kind. Let's go then." He Jiaojiao took her hand and led her outside.

As they walked onto campus, they ran into Gu Zhihua and her friends.

"Sister-in-law," Bai Qianqian greeted.

Gu Zhihua glanced at He Jiaojiao before turning to Bai Qianqian, "Qianqian, would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

"No need, I have a friend coming over. I'll invite you and my sister-in-law to dinner another day," Bai Qianqian said.

"Okay, let's go then." Gu Zhihua smiled. She always felt that He Jiaojiao didn't seem like a good person.

The group walked to the school gate and then went their separate ways.

"Let's take the bus. The school is one stop away from my house," Bai Qianqian said.

"Okay." He Jiaojiao smiled, but inwardly she was thinking, "I really benefited from Bai Qianqian's help. This is the first time I've ever ridden a bus in my life."

The two got on the bus, and Bai Qianqian helped her swipe her card. He Jiaojiao sat on the seat with a look of disgust. The bus really did have all sorts of smells.

She finally managed to get off the bus after a long struggle, and she thought to herself, if she had to do something like this again, she would definitely have to ask Lin Jiaqian for some kind of reward.

She followed Bai Qianqian, thinking that she must be living in a small, run-down rental house.

Unexpectedly, she arrived at an upscale residential area. She thought to herself, "I didn't expect Bai Qianqian's parents to love her so much, even selling everything they own to let her live in such an upscale neighborhood."
