Chapter 194 - 157. Could my remaining affection possibly be for someone else?

Chapter 194: 157. Could my remaining affection possibly be for someone else?

Mou Keyan hadn’t slept well all night.

Of course, this wasn’t solely because Mr. Lu had tossed and turned her from head to toe again, but also the immense anticipation she felt for her future life, which left her restlessly turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.

So much so that when she got up the next morning and stood in front of the mirror to wash up, she found herself with two dark circles under her eyes.

They were like traces of a conversation with the stars throughout the long night.

"Yo, didn’t sleep well last night, turned into a panda?"

"Huh?"

Before she had a chance to apply her "Magic" concealer, a head suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the mirror.

Lu Jincheng, with his upper body bare, wrapped his arms around her from behind, while moving a toothbrush up and down in his mouth.

"Annoying..."

The senior’s cherry lips lightly pursed, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, and her tongue grazed over her teeth, revealing a hint of rosy freshness.

Big beauties always carry the burden of being an idol.

Having someone brazenly point out the dark circles under her eyes made her blush, somewhat embarrassed.

But it was only with Lu Jincheng that she could break down the barriers of being an idol, calmly displaying her messy hair and the dark circles next to her bright eyes.

"Of course I didn’t sleep well, I was excited."

...

"Guan Guan, you’ve turned into a panda!"

The same question occurred in the nearby Jiangnan Garden Building 6.

Guan Yongyi’s home was a three-bedroom layout, with a bathroom spacious enough for both sisters to wash up at the same time.

And there it was, as Zhou Sinin had just put on a headband, she looked up and saw a listless Guan Yongyi appear in the mirror.

She rubbed her eyes, her eyelashes drooping on her eyelids, the dark circles clearly visible.

"Didn’t sleep well last night?"

"Huh?"

Guan Yongyi was still yawning when she heard her sister’s question; she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

It was over.

This was definitely not because of happiness.

She involuntarily took a deep breath, bit her lower lip, and all the sleepiness vanished.

Was it that obvious?

The short-haired girl took out two hair clips from her vanity box, clipped them on either side of her head, bowed her head, splashed cold water on her cheeks, then finally squinted her eyes and responded.

"Mmm... didn’t sleep too well, had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about?"

Zhou Sinin, appearing to have slept quite well, with her beautiful eyes sparkling and her unpainted skin radiantly fair, exuded vitality.

...

Guan Yongyi hesitated in her speech, not looking at her roommate in the mirror, spreading the toner over her face with both hands, continuing to keep her eyes closed.

"I can’t remember clearly, just that it wasn’t anything good."

Of course, she couldn’t possibly articulate those deep thoughts that had kept her up through the night.

"Don’t worry! Baby, dreams are often the opposite of reality."

Zhou Sinin giggled, having finished washing up she took off her headband, tossed her thick hair to one side, her voice soft and full of energy.

Stepping through her flip-flops towards the bedroom to change clothes, she left Guan Yongyi patting and tapping in the bathroom.

"Guan Guan, I’m heading out first~"

"So early?"

"The new store’s setup is going full-steam ahead, I have to hold a training session for the new employees today, showing up late would reflect poorly on the organization’s discipline."

"Boss Zhou is starting to act like a capitalist."

Guan Yongyi’s teasing voice came from the bathroom.

"Hahaha, stop flattering me. I might be a bit busy lately, I’ll come and find you later!"

Zhou Sinin stood in front of the full-length mirror in the master bedroom, smiling while answering, pursed her lips, stood on tiptoes, and leaned closer to her other self.

Today, in order to maintain a professional look, she had applied a simple office makeup; holding a classic lipstick in her left hand, the black and gold case featured a sleek bullet design.

YSL1966, a bright and striking red-brown color, a matte finish texture, like it was custom-made for the great female lead.

Zhou Sinin spun around in front of the mirror, feeling quite satisfied with her professional makeup and outfit.

"I’m off~"

"Mmm, it seems to be raining outside; drive safely."

So, she left Jiangnan Garden contentedly after saying goodbye to her friend.

Without having enough time to share more of her inner thoughts, she was off to one of Xiao Zhou’s other domains.

...

Thud!

The sound of the security door closing was dull, and the weather outside was gloomy.

Just like Guan Yongyi’s spirit that had plummeted to rock bottom.

The short-haired girl curled up on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

During Zhou Sinin’s make-up and dressing time, she had actually finished washing up long ago, but for some reason, she just wanted to hide alone in the bathroom a little while longer.

Letting the running water from the faucet continue endlessly.

Zhou Sinin was off to a meeting with the company’s new employees.

In addition to people from Jiang City, the new employees included many management professionals Zhou Yuanxin had poached from Shanghai City.

With a strong workforce and plentiful funding, "Golden Stone" coffee was set to spread over 50 or even more branches throughout the vast Jiang City.

This was something Guan Yongyi had been well aware of early on, but it kept spinning repeatedly in her mind.

Would Lu Jincheng go?

He probably would.

As a major shareholder, he would certainly attend the all-staff meeting.

After their heart-to-heart talk, it seemed Zhou Sinin had finally understood her own feelings.

So when they met again and started interacting anew, would there be any subtle changes?

Would it be like before?

She liked him, so...

What about him?

Did he like Zhou Sinin?

And, did he like...

At that moment, Mian Mian jumped onto the sofa, wagging its tail and meowing a few times; seeing her unresponsive, it slowly snuggled into the young girl’s embrace.

Its round chin tilted up, its azure eyes rolling, yet still unable to fathom her mother’s heart.

Guan Yongyi reflexively reached out her hand, symbolically rubbing the Ragdoll cat’s head a few times, her fingertips sinking into its dense fur.
