"Xiaonuan, we’re sisters having a conversation. Do you really need so many people around us? Are you truly afraid I might hurt you?"

Xia Xiaonuan realized that Xia Xinmei had mastered playing two roles so distinctly, which indeed impressed her.

Usually, her style was very fashionable, with exquisite makeup and luxury brands adorning her from head to toe, and an air of arrogance in her gaze.

But as Jiang Xue, she’d transform into someone with straight black hair, light makeup, an innocent look, and hidden scheming.

Before, she never connected the two, but now looking at Xia Xinmei and thinking of Jiang Xue, she noticed that some of their actions were quite similar at times.

When serving coffee, they habitually touched the rim of the cup, smiled while touching their chins, and every smile started with the corners of their lips curling up, never reaching their eyes.

Xia Xiaonuan smiled and said, "Actually, I don’t want to either, but you know the Crown Prince. Now, whenever I see anyone, these bodyguards follow, and I can’t do anything about it."

Xia Xinmei’s expression turned somewhat grim.

Nangong Yaoling...

She couldn’t understand what was so great about Xia Xiaonuan that Nangong Yaoling would pamper her so much!

She went through so much trouble, even disguising herself as his first love, yet couldn’t win his heart. In the end, whenever something happened to this woman, Nangong Yaoling would rush to her side without hesitation.

Xia Xinmei suddenly felt like a failure; as if everything she wanted in life, she never got. No, it seemed like anything she wanted, Xia Xiaonuan would snatch away!

She placed her hand on her waist.

She curved her lips into a smile, "Xiaonuan, you said earlier that you had something to tell me. What is it?"

Xia Xiaonuan glanced at the bodyguard beside her.

"A few days ago, I saw Jiang Xue... she came to me, begging for mercy. She said the Crown Prince already knows her true identity..."

Xia Xinmei’s face changed.

"You... you saw Jiang Xue?"

"Yes, Jiang Xue begged me tearfully. Actually, she isn’t really Qiqi. And this, Young Master already knows. That’s why she came begging to me."

Xia Xinmei’s hand trembled slightly holding the coffee cup.

The aroma of coffee filled the air, and Xia Xiaonuan saw all her tension and panic clearly, only knitting her brows slightly.

As long as Xia Xinmei could retreat in the face of difficulties, as long as she stopped stirring up trouble, she really hoped everything could become the past.

Now, she just wanted a peaceful life.

"Really?" Xia Xinmei feigned calmness, looking at Xia Xiaonuan. "You didn’t have to tell me all this? Still, I’m really happy for you, but if Young Master knows, he should be furious!"

"She often goes to a place called Lizi Beauty Salon. Speaking of which, I wonder if you’ve been there?"

Xia Xinmei was shocked.

She stared wide-eyed at Xia Xiaonuan.

At this moment, she finally believed it; Xia Xiaonuan knew everything.

So, does Young Master know too? No, if the Crown Prince knew this, then... then... she’d be doomed!

But what does Xia Xiaonuan mean by telling her all this?

Is she asking her to back off? Meaning the Crown Prince doesn’t know yet, and she’s just warning her?

Thinking of this, Xia Xinmei’s expression slightly softened.
