Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gently casting a light shadow on Anna's peaceful sleeping face. After a while, she slowly woke up, stretched herself, and slowly sat up in bed. Anna rubbed her eyes, put on her slippers, and headed to the kitchen to prepare a delicious lunch.

When she went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, she found it was completely empty, with almost nothing to eat. Desperate, Anna poured herself a glass of rich milk and sipped it while pondering her next move. After a moment, she made a decision—she would go to Sam's Club and stock up on food and daily necessities.

Anna then sat down on the sofa in the living room, opened her laptop on the coffee table, and logged into her stock trading account. Suddenly, she remembered a news report she'd seen the previous day, which said that gold prices were expected to rise sharply in the near future. Without hesitation, Anna poured all the funds in her account into buying gold stocks, hoping to capitalize on this opportunity.

After finishing these things, Anna drank the milk in her cup in one gulp, picked up her car keys, and walked out the door. However, not long after she stepped out of the house, Zheng Qi drove up to her door. After parking the car, he quickly walked over and pressed the doorbell, but there was no movement from inside. Zheng Qi pressed the doorbell several more times, but still no one came to answer.

Seeing this, Zheng Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried. He took out his phone and called Anna, but no one answered. Zheng Qi frowned, wondering where Anna had gone. Suddenly, another person appeared in his mind - Jinglei, Anna's good friend.

So, Zheng Qi immediately called Jinglei. The call was quickly connected, and before Zheng Qi could say anything, Xu Jinglei's clear and pleasant voice came from the receiver: "Qi Shuai, what can I do for you?"

Zheng Qi quickly said, "Miss Xu, please do me a favor."

Xu Jinglei asked curiously, "Hey, what's the matter? Why are we so anxious?"

Zheng Qi explained, "I just called your sister Anna, but no one answered. I'm a little worried about her. After all, she drank quite a bit last night. Can you help me contact her?"

After hearing this, Xu Jinglei couldn't help but tease, "Hey... Qi Shuai, what's wrong with you? Are you interested in our Anna?"

Zheng Qi smiled sheepishly and answered frankly, "Hey, to be honest, I did fall in love with Anna at first sight. But no one answered her phone calls, so I wanted to ask you for help..."

After listening to this, Xu Jinglei asked seriously, "Brother Zheng, are you serious or just playing around? Anna is not the kind of girl who can be treated casually..." Zheng Qi took a deep breath, then answered solemnly, "Jinglei, don't worry! I am absolutely serious this time!" His tone was firm and sincere, as if he was making a solemn oath to Xu Jinglei.

Xu Jinglei nodded slightly, indicating that she believed him, and then said, "Okay, in that case, I will help you invite her to have dinner together at Wangjiang Pavilion in the evening. But you have to reserve a seat first, and then send me a message, and I will tell her the details." Zheng Qi hurriedly thanked him gratefully: "Thank you so much, Jinglei! I'm really sorry to trouble you." After that, he quickly hung up the phone, turned around and asked his assistant to quickly reserve a suitable seat.

At the same time, Xu Jinglei also called Anna and asked with concern, "Nana, where are you now?" At that moment, Anna was pushing a shopping cart filled with various goods and carefully selecting items at Sam's Club. Hearing her friend's call, she put a fresh steak into the shopping basket and replied with a smile, "Jinglei, I'm at Sam's Club. We're almost out of food at home, so I came here to buy some."

Xu Jinglei smiled and said to her, "Hey, I'm treating you to dinner tonight at Wangjiang Pavilion!" Anna was a little surprised and curiously asked back, "Oh, why are you so generous today? You suddenly thought of treating me to dinner? Aren't you planning on going to spend time with your sweetheart?" Xu Jinglei remained calm and replied, "Don't ask so many questions. Just remember to come. The time is 6 pm sharp, and the location will be sent to your phone..." Anna replied crisply, "Okay!" and hung up without hesitation. She was pushing a overflowing shopping cart filled with all sorts of goods: fresh fruit, delicious snacks, and daily necessities. After Anna reached the checkout counter and paid, she laboriously packed her purchases into several large bags. Looking at the heavy bags before her, Anna felt a headache coming over her. It was so hard to carry so much stuff! At that moment, someone suddenly called out, "Anna!" She instinctively turned around and saw Wang Xiyi walking quickly toward her, accompanied by Chen Jiaxin. Seeing these two people, Anna suddenly felt a little annoyed, wondering why she had run into them here.

Seeing this, Wang Xiyi hurriedly abandoned Chen Jiaxin and rushed forward, trying to grab Anna, but Anna nimbly dodged. Helplessly, Anna put her bag on the ground, quickly pulled her phone from her pocket, and quickly dialed a number. A waiting tone echoed from the other end. Before long, the call was connected, and Zheng Qi's cheerful voice rang out, "Anna, what's going on?" Anna said coldly, expressionless, "You've got ten minutes to get to Area A of the Sam's Club underground parking lot!" Without waiting for a response, she hung up.

Seeing this, Wang Xiyi, who was standing by, came over and asked with concern, "Anna, who were you calling just now?" However, in response to Wang Xiyi's inquiry, Anna just replied coldly, "It's none of your business!" Then she ignored him, turned around and lowered her head to tidy up the bags at her feet.

Seeing Anna turning to leave, Wang Xiyi reached out to grab her, but just as his arm was halfway extended, he was stopped by Chen Jiaxin beside him. Wang Xiyi withdrew his hand awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Anna, um... where are you living now? If there is no suitable place to live for the time being..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Jiaxin anxiously: "Yes, Anna! If you have no place to live, you can come to our house. Xiyi and I are very welcome to you..."

However, Anna just gave them a cold look and replied stiffly, "Thank you, but you don't need to. I have a place to stay. Besides, I'm waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up. You should go and do your own things first." Hearing this, Wang Xiyi's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Anna, how come you suddenly have a boyfriend? Didn't you just break up with me? This is too fast!"

Chen Jiaxin, who was standing nearby, interrupted at this moment and said in a tone that seemed gentle but actually contained a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, maybe Sister Anna met her true love when she was in London..." Anna sneered after hearing this, stared at the two of them sharply, and fought back mercilessly: "Huh, I'm not as tasteless as you! You were secretly together behind my back, and even got married! You kept it a secret from me, the so-called 'official girlfriend', and I almost became the third party who destroyed other people's families and stole their love!" After hearing this, the two were embarrassed!
