Su Guyan could clearly see the deep reluctance and helplessness in Mei Hanqing's eyes when he said those words.

This made Su Guyan instinctively think that Mei Hanqing had encountered some issue.

Looking at Su Guyan's cautious expression, Mei Hanqing slowly revealed a faint smile on his face: "You're overthinking, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Now that I've acknowledged my ancestry, my societal status is probably higher than yours, right?"

Regarding this, Su Guyan couldn't deny it. If Mei Hanqing wished to go to Suhang and take over Jian Yunong's position, then Mei Hanqing would become the second Jian Yunong, and the next Real Estate Queen of Suhang would be Mei Hanqing!

As for her, Su Guyan, although she had some achievements, compared to being a Real Estate Queen, her weight was still somewhat inadequate.

"And I have more money than you, so what could possibly be the issue?"

Mei Hanqing smiled brightly and happily, like a blooming flower.

Even though what Mei Hanqing said made sense, Su Guyan didn't believe his words and continued to look him up and down suspiciously.

After scanning him up and down twice, Su Guyan slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration: "I hope I'm just overthinking."

"You are definitely overthinking," Mei Hanqing said lightly. "I was merely speaking out of emotion. After all, you make me very envious, or perhaps you make others envious too!"

Su Guyan slowly exhaled another breath of frustration and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather be you guys!"

Though Su Guyan made Mei Hanqing and others envious because she was part of Ye Xunhuan's past and accompanied him in his naive years, making it so he could never forget her.

She, Su Guyan, was like a thorn embedded in Ye Xunhuan's heart, completely fused with it.

But who could really understand what it meant to be part of Ye Xunhuan's past, what she sacrificed, and how she endured all these years?

It's entirely a matter of cold and warm self-awareness.

While Mei Hanqing and others weren't part of Ye Xunhuan's past, they met him in the most beautiful time of their lives and could be part of his future.

Moreover, they didn't have all those entanglements and grievances between them.

It's entirely a kind of mutual yet relative envy!

Mei Hanqing immediately understood what Su Guyan meant, chuckled softly, "But it was worth it for you, possibly in this lifetime, he will be most worried about you!"

"If it were before, perhaps it would have been me, but now it should be Qiu Ruoxi!" Su Guyan's face slowly revealed a bitterness.

Mei Hanqing didn't say much more on this topic, as it was a sensitive issue best left unspoken.

Then, Mei Hanqing changed the subject, "Alright, it's getting late, I should leave now, see you next time!"

"I'll invite you for afternoon tea another day!"

"I'll be waiting for you!"

Then Mei Hanqing got up and left Su Guyan's place, while Su Guyan escorted her all the way to the door.

After leaving Su Guyan's place, Mei Hanqing immediately exhaled a deep breath, while also panting heavily, as if she had just gone through some intense exercise.

Su Guyan was too smart and too sensitive, making Mei Hanqing wary of saying things she had originally planned to discuss.

If she had really spoken out, Mei Hanqing was almost certain that Su Guyan would have detected something!

After a few drawn-out breaths, Mei Hanqing slowly took out her phone and dialed Ye Xunhuan's number!

This time, Ye Xunhuan's call was quickly connected.

"Xiaoqingqing, why aren't you at the company?"

"I just went out to meet a friend," Mei Hanqing said softly, "Did you go to the company?"

"Yeah, I thought I could see you, but you weren't there. It's so disappointing!" Ye Xunhuan said forlornly, filled with a tone of grievance.

"Why do you sound so sweet today, have you eaten honey?" Mei Hanqing's face slowly blossomed into a sweet, happy smile.

"Don't you believe my words, Xiaoqingqing...?"

"I believe you!" Mei Hanqing said earnestly, "I believe everything you say!"

"That sounds a bit fake!" Ye Xunhuan said faintly, "When will you come back?"

"I'll be back soon," Mei Hanqing replied softly, "I plan to go to the mall and see, now that it's cold, to buy you a cotton coat or a cotton jacket!"

"You must be too busy to go shopping!"

"Can't I just take one from the company?"

The Royal Group is engaged in e-commerce and naturally has a clothing platform, including many international brands.

"That's not okay, the clothes I give you must be chosen carefully."

"Should I come over and try?"

"No need, I know your size," Mei Hanqing said softly, "Alright, I've said it, but now that it's cold, you must take care of yourself, don't get sick!"

"And remember, if you can't win in a fight, just run away, don't let yourself get all bruised and battered..."

"Don't worry, I know!"

Then Mei Hanqing hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mei Hanqing slowly exhaled a breath of frustration, and at the same time, her face was filled with bitterness.

It's not that she didn't want to see Ye Xunhuan, but she was afraid that if she saw him, she couldn't bear to leave him, couldn't harden her heart!

So she wants to see him but doesn't dare to!

...

The days in winter are very short, and by five, the night had already fallen, draping the earth in darkness.

Mei Hanqing sat at home, accompanying Su Bingzhi and Jian Yunong.

Due to a heavy snowfall, Su Bingzhi and Jian Yunong didn't leave Jiangzhong City, nor did they want to. After all, their daughter was here, and having just escaped danger, they wanted to be with Mei Hanqing.

Time slipped by in a flash, and before they knew it, it was eight-thirty in the evening.

At this moment, Mei Hanqing suddenly stood up and said to Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi, "Mom, Dad, I'm going out for a bit."

"You child, why are you going out so late?"

"I have to handle something, I'll be back soon," Mei Hanqing said softly, "You don't need to worry about me."

Saying that, Mei Hanqing walked out.

As soon as Mei Hanqing appeared downstairs, Ming Yue, who had been waiting, immediately appeared in front of her.

"Have you made up your mind, girl?" Ming Yue asked, getting straight to the point.

Mei Hanqing didn't answer immediately but instead turned to look at the brightly lit building upstairs, and said slowly, "Actually, I don't want to leave!"
