Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mo Li clenched the gift box in her hands, her gaze fixed on Gu Zi who was settling the bill. The shopkeeper, a plump middle-aged woman with trendy curls, looked at Gu Zi with sparkling eyes, as if she had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

“Ah, so you’re the new house owner,” she said warmly. “I thought I hadn’t seen you before. Congratulations on your move, miss. Do remember to visit us often!”

Perhaps it was the sight of such a beauty that made the shopkeeper raise her voice in excitement. Mo Li, overhearing the conversation, felt a sudden panic. Gu Zi was now a resident of this neighborhood? How did that happen?

Even if Gu Zi’s man was wealthy, money alone couldn’t buy a house in this neighborhood. Could it be that they had rented a place because Gu Zi was so eager to return to the city? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

This was a possibility, and not a good one for Mo Li. She looked again in Gu Zi’s direction. Gu Zi was already leaving, pushing her cart away, leaving Mo Li with the sight of her beautiful, captivating figure. Mo Li’s gaze involuntarily turned hostile and malicious.

Even though she kept reminding herself that seeing Gu Zi as an enemy would make her own path to success more difficult, the flames of jealousy were uncontrollable, burning in her heart. This was Gu Zi’s fault. Why did she have to return after marrying into the countryside?

Mo Li had hoped to keep her distance from Gu Zi, but now it seemed she had no choice but to confront this formidable enemy. But how could she, with her own talents, looks, culinary skills, and education, possibly compete with Gu Zi?

Her gaze fell subconsciously on the gift box in her hand, and a cold smile played on her lips. “If I can’t defeat her with my own strength, why not try to use someone else’s?”

Sun Qi immediately pouted, looking somewhat displeased. “Mo Li, we had an agreement. You would regularly update me on Gong Zhan’s whereabouts. How could you not tell me? Have you… have you fallen for him too? Are you trying to steal him from me?”

The warning in the young girl’s tone was clear. In her eyes, Mo Li was a sister to be played with and used, but she could never be a romantic rival. What could Mo Li possibly compare to her with? They were not on the same level.

Sun Qi didn’t directly express her disdain for Mo Li’s commoner status, but it was all in her eyes. Mo Li saw it clearly, and it stung.

Mo Li had once harbored a small fantasy that Sun Qi might consider her a true friend. But in that moment, she understood that Sun Qi only saw her as a servant, a lapdog…

In a few seconds, Mo Li’s heart grew colder and more determined. But on the surface, she quickly put on a good-natured smile, grabbing Sun Qi’s hand and explaining urgently, “Of course not, Sun Qi. I would never betray you. In my eyes, you’re the most noble princess. Alright, your words reminded me that I shouldn’t hide anything from you.”
