After her thoughts gradually returned, Ling Linyi slowly turned her gaze again in the direction of Li Xilian and Han Qiu. For some reason, she always felt that there was an unusually harmonious atmosphere when the two stood together. This feeling was very strange, as if there was an invisible tacit understanding between them.

However, after the previous incident, Ling Linyi had secretly made up her mind that this time, no matter what, she would keep a close eye on Li Xilian and would never let her be deceived in the slightest. This idea was extremely firm in her heart, as hot and unshakable as a burning flame.

Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, everyone had finished their sumptuous meal. According to their prearranged plan, Han Qiu and several other companions had reached the time to depart. However, Li Xilian chose to stay in the warm home with her sister Li Jin.

Li Jin was known for her meticulousness, able to discern the subtlest emotional fluctuations in others like a delicate thread. When she noticed Ning Changwei, a newcomer, all alone in this unfamiliar city, she couldn't help but feel a surge of pity. After all, Ning Changwei, unfamiliar with the place, was bound to feel uneasy.

So, Li Jin, with a slightly selfish motive, spoke without hesitation, "Chang Wei, I think you might as well stay in our specially prepared guest room tonight. You know, that room is equipped with an advanced sterile environment machine all year round! Just flick a switch, and it will instantly start up and begin operating, quickly creating a clean, comfortable, and safe living space. Not only that, the quilt cover and sheets on the bed are all brand new, they haven't even been used once!"

At this moment, Han Qiu and his group, who had been about to turn around and leave, stood there in a daze, as if under a spell, and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance to leave. Han Qiu and Ling Linyi both cast their gazes at Li Xilian, their eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.

At that moment, Li Jin, smiling, gently took Ning Changwei's delicate hand, as if protecting a rare treasure. Her gaze was filled with tenderness, as if it could melt any ice. And so, she led Ning Changwei slowly towards the guest room, each step light and steady. Clearly, she wanted to carefully and properly arrange a comfortable stay for this special guest.

Li Jinxue and Yu Shuangxue, standing nearby, were stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes. Their eldest daughter, always known for her coldness and arrogance, had now become so gentle and considerate! This sudden change left them both surprised and delighted.

Entering the guest room, Li Jin carefully removed a custom-made smart aroma diffuser from an exquisite box. The diffuser exuded a light, enchanting fragrance that was truly refreshing. Li Jin softly said, "This is a treasure I use frequently in my room. Not only does it smell amazing, it also has numerous health benefits. Gu Quqing gave it to me specifically, a full year ago! Placing it in the guest room will surely help you drift off to sweet dreams." As she finished her words, she reached out and gently placed the precious aroma diffuser on the exquisite table in the guest room.

Ning Changwei, standing nearby, noticed this and also moved forward curiously. She lowered her head slightly, approached the aromatherapy bottle emitting a faint fragrance, and took a gentle breath. With this movement, the tip of her nose moved involuntarily, making her look particularly small and cute.

"Wow, this smells so good!" Ning Changwei couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes sparkling with surprise. "Such a rich, pure woody scent! It feels just like... yes, exactly the same scent that Sister Li exudes!" As she spoke, her long eyelashes fluttered softly like butterfly wings, a hint of unconcealed joy and smile in her eyes. And just as she slowly raised her alluring yet pure face, the gentle moonlight, as if drawn by some mysterious force, filtered through the half-open window and gently fell upon her face. The bright moonlight, like a veil, cast subtle shadows across her sharply defined features, accentuating their already deep and captivating beauty with even greater depth and refinement.

Bathed in the dreamlike moonlight, she exuded an enchanting charm. Li Jin gazed upon the alluring Ning Changwei, a captivating urge that was hard to resist. She clenched her teeth, trying to suppress the unbearable itch that surged up from the depths of her heart.

Faced with such a scene, Li Jin's heart was like a turbulent sea, but she knew deeply that she must not let her inner emotions run wild at this moment. Therefore, she did her best to calm her mind and nodded calmly, expressing her tacit consent to the current situation.

However, what others could not know was that beneath that seemingly calm exterior, her heart had long been captivated by Ning Changwei. At that moment, her heart was beating wildly within her chest like a wild horse, as if it would break free from all shackles and fetters in the next second and rush towards the woman who haunted her thoughts and dreams.

Ning Changwei's smile deepened upon seeing this. She gazed at Sister Li, feeling that she was as innocent and lovely as a pure-hearted young girl, naive and unworldly. Naturally, she readily accepted Li Jin's kindness.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Xilian bore the brunt of Han Qiu and Ling Linyi's intense gazes. She pursed her lips, silently observing the two for a moment before unexpectedly relenting. "It's quite late tonight, so why don't you two stay here and rest up? I'll take you to the guest rooms now." She then slowly turned and led Han Qiu and Ling Linyi towards the rooms.

"Okay!" The two answered in unison, their voices clear and loud, as if to penetrate the silent night.

Han Qiu ran towards Li Xilian with the light, sticky steps of a cheerful little bird. Her delicate yet lovely appearance made people feel pity and love. Meanwhile, Ling Linyi seemed much more calm and composed. She followed Li Xilian slowly, her steps firm and powerful.

The three of them arrived at the guest rooms, all built to uniform standards and of identical size. Li Xilian first opened the door on the left, motioning Ling Linyi in, then led Han Qiu into the room on the right.

After entering the room, Li Xilian began to introduce the facilities and items within. The first thing that caught their eye was the brand-new toiletries, and Li Xilian patiently explained their uses and instructions one by one. Furthermore, there was also a state-of-the-art laundry washing and drying machine that could quickly and conveniently complete the washing and drying process in just one minute.

Of course there is also aromatherapy, which was customized by Gu Quqing for Li Xilian. It is another high-quality, cool fragrance that is very similar to the current Li Xilian.

Just as Ling Linyi was listening attentively and taking in all the information, she inadvertently looked up and found that Han Qiu had almost fallen on Li Xilian. Seeing this, Ling Linyi couldn't help but frown, and a hint of displeasure rose in her heart. She coughed lightly, trying to get Han Qiu's attention.

Hearing the cough, Li Xilian turned her head and saw Han Qiu standing nearby. She quickly reached out and gently pushed her away, saying softly, "Okay, it's getting late. You two should go to bed early." After that, she turned around with a smile and left the guest room and returned to her bedroom.
