Mu Ya'an glanced at Gong Juncheng quietly, then sat down beside him, not daring to speak.

Her hands, which were placed at her sides, clenched slightly, and her expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

She still clearly remembered that Gong Juncheng had once said that if Sheng Xia returned, she would have to step down.

Now that summer is back, it's time for her to step down.

Gong Juncheng sat on the sofa, his expression turning cold and somber.

The maid came out of the restaurant and saw that Nie Jingchen, who had just been there, was gone, and the atmosphere between Gong Juncheng and Mu Ya'an was very tense.

She paused for a moment, then spoke cautiously.

"Miss Mu, sir, lunch is ready."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an nodded gently, her gaze falling on Gong Juncheng, and said softly.

"Juncheng, dinner is ready. Let's go eat."

Upon hearing this, Gong Juncheng glanced at Mu Ya'an with a sharp gaze, his expression turning cold and stern.

"Mu Ya'an, what do you want?"

Upon hearing Gong Juncheng's words, Mu Ya'an paused for a moment, her expression froze.

"I do not want anything."

The meaning behind Gong Juncheng's words is now very clear.

She took a deep breath, bit her lip lightly, and looked intently at Gong Juncheng.

"I lack nothing now."

She doesn't want anything now, she just wants to stay by Gong Juncheng's side.

If she were to ask what she wanted, this man would definitely kick her out.

Gong Juncheng noticed that Mu Ya'an was looking at him intently, with a hint of pitifulness in her eyes. He frowned slightly, and his expression changed.

"Didn't you say you wanted an office building? I just bought one, I'll set it up as your studio."

Mu Ya'an paused for a moment upon hearing this.

She stared intently at Gong Juncheng, her expression somewhat stern.

"I……"

"That's it."

Gong Juncheng looked at Mu Ya'an with a cold expression, and immediately took over Mu Ya'an's words and spoke.

He directly gagged Mu Ya'an.

She looked quietly at the heartless man before her, moved her lips, and finally pursed them before speaking softly.

"it is good."

After answering Gong Juncheng's question, she turned and walked towards the dining table, her feelings extremely complicated.

She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an, walked to the seat opposite her and sat down. Throughout the entire process, they did not exchange a single word.

After finishing his meal, Gong Juncheng got up and left.

Upon seeing this, Mu Ya'an's expression became more somber.

Her gaze remained fixed on Gong Juncheng's departing figure, her feelings a complex mix.

After she finished her meal, she walked from the dining room to the living room, where she could hear Gong Juncheng's car leaving.

The maid's gaze fell on Mu Ya'an, and seeing that Mu Ya'an's eyes were fixed on Gong Juncheng as he left, she had an unusual feeling.

They hadn't argued at all, yet their relationship suddenly became so strained, which was truly puzzling.

"Miss Mu..."

Mu Ya'an nodded, her gaze falling on the maid, and said in a low voice.

"Sister Hua, I may have to move out of Lanhe Garden."

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, the maid's expression changed, her gaze fell on Mu Ya'an, and she whispered.

"Miss Mu, why do you want to move out of Lanhe Garden?"

Mu Ya'an smiled slightly, her gaze falling on the maid, a slight upturn at the corner of her lips, and said in a low voice.

"Because the true owner of Lanhe Garden has returned, I have to give up my position."

As Mu Ya'an spoke, a bitter look flashed in her eyes.

The maid was stunned by the sound.

She glanced at Mu Ya'an, took a deep breath, and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

She had no idea that things would turn out this way.

Gong Juncheng has a fiancée and has not returned to Beicheng for many years. Now he has suddenly returned, and Mu Ya'an is also moving out of Lanhe Garden.

Does this mean that Gong Juncheng's fiancée is coming back to marry him?

Hearing Mu Ya'an's words, the servants all became nervous.

If the new mistress is difficult to get along with, they're likely to suffer a lot of mistreatment.

Having served Mu Ya'an before, the new mistress is bound to mind.

"Miss Mu, can't you stay? The master didn't intend to kick you out, did he?"

Mu Ya'an's expression changed slightly as she listened to the maid's words, and a heavy look flashed in her eyes.

"It probably won't be long before he kicks me out of here."

As Mu Ya'an spoke, she gazed into the distance, her expression darkening, and said in a low voice.

“Over the years, I’ve stayed by his side, but nothing has changed. Now that Miss Shengxia has returned to Beicheng, nothing will change either. So, Sister Hua, you don’t need to try to persuade me anymore.”

Over the years, she has lost herself in Gong Juncheng's presence.

She didn't know what she could do to change things between her and Gong Juncheng.

The maid paused for a moment upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words.

Just as she was about to say something, Mu Ya'an's phone rang.

She glanced at her phone, paused for a moment, and saw that it was a call from Lu Xueqi.

Mu Ya'an stared at the number, momentarily stunned.

At the last gathering organized by Gong Juncheng, they exchanged contact information, but they haven't been in touch since.

Lu Xueqi is no longer the hostess who used to accompany Gu Moxuan; she is now a well-known female celebrity in China.

When she was "Night Enchantress," it was Lin Qingran who helped her, so from the beginning, Mu Ya'an was not too close to Lu Xueqi.

Seeing Lu Xueqi calling her, Mu Ya'an answered the call with a puzzled expression.

"Hello."

"Hello, Miss Mu, I am Lu Xueqi."

Lu Xueqi's voice was gentle and kind, but Mu Ya'an frowned when she heard it.

"Hello."

She answered in a calm voice.

"I know it is you."

Lu Xueqi paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

“Miss Mu, I just saw Mr. Gong with a woman. That woman had a child with her. I made some inquiries and found out that the woman is Sheng Xia.”

"I heard that Sheng Xia and Mr. Gong were engaged. Now that Miss Sheng has brought a child back, their engagement must be off. Miss Mu, I think you would really like to know this news."

Mu Ya'an was stunned when she heard the voice.

Did Shengxia bring a child back?

Upon hearing this news, the expression on her face was exceptionally complex.

"Yes, I was also surprised when I saw it, but it was a bit far away, so I didn't hear what they were talking about."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an frowned and said in a low voice.

"Ms. Lu, our relationship isn't close enough for us to share gossip. I'll hang up now."

Mu Ya'an instinctively didn't want to get involved in anything related to the height of summer.
