Mu Ya'an pursed her lips, and seeing Gong Juncheng's serious expression, she smiled faintly and said softly.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking with you. Of course, if you want me to move in, that's fine too."

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, Gong Juncheng's expression grew even colder and more somber.

After Mu Ya'an finished speaking, her gaze fell on Gong Juncheng, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She wanted to ask him something about Reina, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

After all, in Gong Juncheng's mind, any woman around him was taboo if she asked him about her.

Mu Ya'an didn't want to cause herself any trouble, so she remained silent.

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an and said in a cold voice.

"Do you have anything else?"

Mu Ya'an pursed her thin lips and said softly.

"never mind."

"Sister Hua has prepared dinner shortly. Let's go downstairs for dinner."

Gong Juncheng glanced coldly at Mu Ya'an, then nodded and followed her downstairs.

After the meal, Gong Juncheng returned to his study as usual.

Mu Ya'an paused for a moment when she saw Gong Juncheng return to his study.

A moment later, Gong Juncheng came downstairs. Seeing Mu Ya'an sitting on the sofa watching TV, his face darkened, and he immediately said something.

"You've been to my study?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an pursed her lips, her eyes changing slightly, and said in a low voice.

"Yes."

Gong Juncheng looked at her with a cold and sharp gaze, his eyes filled with a strong warning.

"It seems you didn't take what I said to heart. I told you not to touch my things without permission."

Mu Ya'an never expected that Gong Juncheng would discover her just because she picked up a photo casually to look at it.

A hint of melancholy crossed her face. Then she looked up at Gong Juncheng and said softly.

"I did see it, but it was just a few photos of Miss Sheng. Even if you hang Miss Sheng's photos in the living room, it won't matter."

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, Gong Juncheng's eyes flashed with mockery, and he then spoke in a cold voice.

“Miss Mu, you’re really joking. This house was originally prepared for Sheng Xia. Where her photos are placed has absolutely nothing to do with you.”

"Where I put it doesn't depend on your mood, it's only with your permission, understand?"

Mu Ya'an noticed that Gong Juncheng was always so sensitive when it came to topics related to midsummer.

She didn't dare mention anything about summer in front of him.

Seeing Mu Ya'an fall silent, Gong Juncheng's expression grew increasingly grim. He glanced at Mu Ya'an indifferently and then turned to walk upstairs.

Mu Ya'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Gong Juncheng go upstairs, the maid came downstairs and whispered.

"Miss Mu, who is Sheng Xia?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an paused for a moment, her expression showing surprise.

These are all servants who have been with Gong Juncheng for some years, yet they don't even know who Sheng Xia is?

Mu Ya'an frowned slightly, her eyes showing a hint of heaviness.

"You don't know Sheng Xia?"

Mu Ya'an pursed her red lips slightly, thinking that these people probably didn't know much about Gong Juncheng's business.

When Gong Juncheng mentioned "Night Charm" to her, they all looked blank.

It's obvious that this isn't related to Gong Juncheng's businesses.

Mu Ya'an glanced at the servant, then spoke softly.

"Miss Shengxia is Juncheng's fiancée."

The maid's expression changed upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words.

Her expression showed slight surprise, then she looked Mu Ya'an up and down and said softly.

"Miss Mu, do you know Mr...."

After the maid finished speaking, she pursed her lips and fell silent.

Looking at the maid's expression, Mu Ya'an spoke in a soft voice.

"I know what you want to say. Actually, back in Beicheng just now, I was also looking down on myself like that."

As she spoke, a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes, and she said softly.

"But because this man is Gong Juncheng, I don't care anymore. Even if I have to stay by Juncheng's side without a name or status for the rest of my life, I'm willing."

She paused for a moment, bit her lip lightly, and said in a low voice.

"However, Miss Sheng has someone she likes and may be dating a boyfriend right now, so I think I will never follow Juncheng without a name or status in this lifetime."

The maid understood after hearing Mu Ya'an's words.

Gong Juncheng has a fiancée, but they don't like each other.

Gong Juncheng cares about Mu Ya'an, and Mu Ya'an likes Gong Juncheng.

Although it's unclear what the misunderstanding was between them.

However, after spending time with Mu Ya'an, the maid came to approve of Mu Ya'an's character.

No one can tolerate verbal attacks like those from Gong Juncheng unless they genuinely like him.

“Miss Mu, the gentleman actually prefers to keep many secrets to himself, but he is a very good person.”

"Miss Mu is a very good person, so you two can definitely be together."

Mu Ya'an listened to the maid's words, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She thought that the maid would look down on her for following Gong Juncheng without any official status.

After all, during their previous conversation, the maid had always expressed deep hatred for the mistress.

Her current actions are no different from those of a mistress.

The maid saw Mu Ya'an smile slightly, moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed it back.

She had seen Mu Ya'an's photo in Gong Juncheng's study.

Gong Juncheng always cherished that photo, so he wouldn't allow anyone to touch that drawer.

But this should be a secret deep in Gong Juncheng's heart.

The maid knew that if she spoke up, she would definitely be punished by Gong Juncheng, so she chose to remain silent.

"Miss Mu, I'll go downstairs to attend to my work now. If you have any questions, please let me know."

Mu Ya'an nodded gently, sat quietly on the sofa, glanced upstairs, and seeing that Gong Juncheng hadn't come down, got up and walked towards the stairwell.

She reached the top of the stairs, and her phone rang in her pocket.

She looked down and saw that it was Aunt Li calling.

Mu Ya'an stared at the screen for a moment, then quickly regained her composure, turned around, and went back to her room to answer the phone.

She had previously said that after settling everything in Beicheng, she would bring Aunt Li over as well.

After arguing with her grandfather that day, Mu Ya'an forgot about the incident.

Aunt Li worked for the Mu family her whole life; she was never married, had no children, and never had a husband.

Mu Ya'an couldn't bear to see her alone in H City.

After returning to the house, she answered the phone immediately.

"Aunt Li."

"Miss, how have you been lately?"

Aunt Li's voice sounded somewhat aged, and Mu Ya'an's eyes suddenly welled up with tears upon hearing it.
