The Goddess Villa was much quieter without the two young women, lacking its usual bustle.
Niu Yinyin had run off to the Shangguan's residence, while Shangguan Hong had gone to France to further her studies, leaving Shen Mengchen alone in the now serene Goddess Villa.
Upon returning to the villa, Ye Qiu found Shen Mengchen sound asleep. He didn't disturb her, knowing she hadn't had such a peaceful sleep for a long time due to her worries about Longjia. It was only after Ye Qiu's return that she felt safe enough to relax and leave the troubles for Ye Qiu to handle.
Ye Qiu greeted Liu Bo, took a phone call, and then headed to the designated location.
The call was from Li Jinglong, who had reached out to Ye Qiu as soon as he arrived in ZS City, persuading him fervently to meet.
