The sound of the door opening jolted Chen Yulan out of her daze, sending a fresh wave of panic through her.

She braced herself, not knowing who to expect.

"Oh my... What a mess..." The voice was unmistakably Xie Meirong's, tinged with a delight as she took in the chaotic state of the room.

"Wei, wait!" Chen Yulan's voice was a mix of confusion and fear, her heart racing as she saw Zhang Wei turn to leave at Xie Meirong's arrival.

Her plea fell on deaf ears; he didn't even pause, his departure only heightening her anxiety.

Boom!

As the door shut behind him, Chen Yulan's complexion grew even paler, if that were possible. 'He was... so sure...' she thought, her mind racing with dark thoughts and fears.

Xie Meirong, unfazed and even more provoking, shrugged. "If you want to jump, go ahead, do a backflip. I won't stop you. In fact, I'm here to help you," she stated smiling, with a twisted enjoyment.
