Jiang Tingyan glanced at Qiao Manman without saying anything. He closed the car door, and the passenger door opened, with Assistant Chen getting out of the car.

"Go and take my things into the villa," Jiang Tingyan ordered.

Assistant Chen carried out his orders, but Qiao Manman couldn't help but scrutinize the two of them.

Shouldn't the boss sit in the front passenger seat or the back seat, with the assistant driving?

How did this person become the boss driving for his assistant?

Ignoring the strange look in Qiao Manman's eyes, Jiang Tingyan walked up to her.

Just as he was about to speak, his gaze fell on the invitation card from the muscular man in Qiao Manman's hand.

Jiang Tingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, then he looked up and met Qiao Manman's blank gaze: "The loneliness of a young woman?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Manman immediately looked down at the card, then quickly looked up at Jiang Tingyan's expression.

Seeing the disdain in Jiang Tingyan's handsome eyes, Qiao Manman mechanically tossed the card behind her.

"No, you're mistaken. I didn't take anything."

Qiao Manman lied without batting an eye, earnestly trying to clear her name.

She never expected that a gust of wind would suddenly come from behind and blow the card into the sole of Jiang Tingyan's shoe.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Qiao Manman's eye twitch suddenly.

How could such an unprecedented thing happen?!

Not only Qiao Manman caught a glimpse of it, but Jiang Tingyan also saw it.

He glanced down at it, his voice dripping with sarcasm: "It seems the man in the photo has no intention of letting you go."

Qiao Manman was on the verge of tears, and too lazy to continue pretending, she gave a straightforward explanation.

"Dude, this looks like a GG (ghost)!"

Jiang Tingyan bent down, picked up the card, examined it from left to right, and then handed it to Qiao Manman.

"I'm not blind, I saw you holding this card just now, and now..."

A sarcastic smile curled at the corners of Jiang Tingyan's lips.

"Return the item to its rightful owner."

Qiao Manman felt as if hundreds or thousands of pounds of cotton were stuck in her chest.

I can't get my breath up, and I can't get it down!

She already said it, it's GG!

Anyone with eyes can see that it was found; how could it possibly be hers!

Qiao Manman gritted her teeth: "Brother Jiang, I told you, this is GG. I just picked it up and looked at it twice, like you did!"

Jiang Tingyan sneered twice: "You just said you didn't take it, but now you're admitting it?"

Qiao Manman was nearly driven crazy by the questions: "Isn't this to explain it to you?!"

Jiang Tingyan said in a calm voice, "Forget it, even if it's true, you won't admit it."

"After all, I've witnessed your ability to lie through your teeth today."

Just as he finished speaking, Assistant Chen arrived at Jiang Tingyan's side, dragging two suitcases.

At the same time, the front door opened, and Jiang Tingyan led his assistant Chen into the villa.

Qiao Manman stared blankly at his retreating figure: "Wait, what are you doing at my house?"

Jiang Tingyan stopped in his tracks, turned his head slightly and said, "Of course I'll live under the same roof as you, stepsister."

Jiang Tingyan emphasized the words "stepsister".

Qiao Manman stood in the wind, bewildered, watching Jiang Tingyan enter the front yard. If she remembered correctly, Jiang Tingyan only came over after they got married.

Why has the script changed now?

Jiang Tingyan came over early to be part of the family?!

Qiao Manman followed them numbly. Considering what Jiang Tingyan said when he left today, he was very likely here to demand an explanation from her.

Does that mean that if she gives an explanation, Jiang Tingyan will let her go?

It wasn't that she didn't want to live under the same roof as the handsome guy, but his imposing presence did make her uneasy.

It felt like he could corner her at any moment, leaving her in a dilemma.

The servants seemed to know that Jiang Tingyan was coming, as they not only stood in advance to greet him, but also prepared his room.

What troubled Qiao Manman the most was that Jiang Tingyan's room was right next to hers!

Qiao Manman felt a wave of dizziness wash over her; now they were truly seeing each other all the time!

She rubbed her forehead, watching the maid make up Jiang Tingyan's bed and come out.

The maid saw Qiao Manman and greeted her, "Miss, you're back."

Qiao Manman pulled Wang Sao to the side and asked in a low voice, "Wang Sao, aren't there any other rooms? Why were they arranged to put him next to my room?"

Aunt Wang replied with a smile, "It was the master's instruction. He said that the young lady and the young master would be like brother and sister from now on, and living next door would help them get along better."

Qiao Manman stared wide-eyed.

Could it be that Qiao Qinian still thinks things are simple?

Qiao Manman: "Sister Wang, how about we move him to the third floor..."

"The third floor is now reserved for husbands and wives."

Aunt Wang explained, "The master said that the study on the second floor will also be used by the young master from now on. If the young lady wants to use the study, she can go to the third floor and use it together."

After saying that, she nodded to Qiao Manman and walked towards the stairwell.

Qiao Manman felt a moment of dizziness.

There's something she can't understand right now.

Did Qiao Qinian stay with Jiang Tingyan from the beginning, or did Jiang Tingyan decide to come on short notice and easily persuade Qiao Qinian?

They even gave the largest study on the second floor to Jiang Tingyan.

Is this necessary?

Jiang Tingyan, who was sitting by the window looking at his phone, seemed to notice Qiao Manman's gaze.

He put down his phone and turned to look at Qiao Manman, who was standing in the corridor.

His dark eyes held a casual glance, and after meeting Qiao Manman's gaze for a moment, he looked away.

It was as if Qiao Manman was just a wisp of air.

The words "arrogant and disrespectful" clearly slapped Qiao Manman in the face.

Qiao Manman clenched her fists, walked to his room door, and gently knocked: "Jiang Tingyan, let's talk!"

"Not available," Jiang Tingyan replied calmly.

Qiao Manman forced a smile and went straight to the point: "Don't you want to know why I denied having a relationship with you?"

Jiang Tingyan pursed his lips and remained silent.

His indifferent attitude always made Qiao Manman feel like her blood was rushing to the top of her head.

"River……"

"Assistant Chen, it's a bit noisy, please close the door for me."

As soon as Qiao Manman uttered a single word, Jiang Tingyan instructed Assistant Chen to close the door.

Watching helplessly as the door closed in front of her, Qiao Manman laughed in exasperation.

Sometimes, when people are too polite, they are only compromising themselves. This statement is absolutely true!

Most importantly, it was Jiang Tingyan who initially said he wanted to talk to her, and now it is Jiang Tingyan who is turning her away.

If he refuses to communicate, then what's the point of his visit?

Is it just to make her unhappy?

But it doesn't matter, the people who managed to get here are the most anxious.

If he rejects her once, she'll reject him twice!

After Qiao Manman left, Assistant Chen relayed the message to Jiang Tingyan.

"Young Master Yan, Miss Qiao has already left."
