The next morning, when Qiao Muer woke up, the seat next to her was empty.
If she hadn't raised her hand and touched it, and hadn't seen the huge diamond ring on her left ring finger emitting a dazzling light, Qiao Muer would have really doubted whether everything that happened last night was an illusion.
Yue Zheng last night was... very different.
It was no longer sharp and cold, no longer made her feel uneasy, but instead brought a comforting warmth.
No, she must be overthinking it!
Qiao Muer suddenly remembered what Yue Zheng had done to her in the hotel bathroom yesterday. She shook her head, reminding herself not to make excuses for Yue Zheng or to let her imagination run wild.
Shaking off the warmth that shouldn't exist in her mind, Qiao Muer got up from the bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, her attention was attracted by the things on the bedside table.
It was a sapphire necklace, which Yue Zheng had snatched from her neck yesterday in the hotel and used to threaten her.
But now, it just lies there quietly.
Before she could even open her mouth, Yue Zheng took the initiative to keep her.
A hint of surprise flashed across Qiao Muer's eyes, and suddenly she couldn't guess Yue Zheng's intention.
She reached out and picked up the sapphire necklace, looking from left to right, her fingertips touching the deep-colored, cool-touch gem to confirm that the necklace was authentic.
Yue Zheng did not replace the necklace with a fake one, but directly returned the real necklace to her.
So, this means no longer threatening her
Just as Qiao Muer was staring at the sapphire necklace in a daze, the old housekeeper knocked on the door in a low, hoarse voice: "Miss Muer, are you up? Um... If you are awake, you'd better come downstairs and take a look."
Go downstairs
What happened downstairs
Qiao Muer immediately put down the necklace in her hand, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

Early this morning, two luxury cars were parked outside the Qiao family's old house.
In fact, considering the family background and status of the Qiao family, having a few luxury cars parked outside the old house was nothing uncommon.
But the two luxury cars parked in front of the Qiao family's door today are particularly eye-catching.
Because the owners of these two cars come from two famous families in China.
The Huo family has deep backgrounds in both the military and political circles, and is said to have already started arranging a blind date and marriage with the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.
And there is the Lu family, a top family that has been on good terms with the Qiao family for generations and has an equally unfathomable background.
The next heirs of these two families all appeared at the Qiao residence at this time, and the reason for their appearance was for the same person.
Because these two people had not said hello in advance, they all came to visit directly early this morning.
As a result, the atmosphere in the Qiao family's old house became a bit awkward.
…
When Qiao Mohan and Su Qing saw Huo Shaoyi, they were about to let him in and have a good chat with this young man who might very well marry their daughter.
Behind Huo Shaoyi, Yue Zheng, who was wearing a dark suit, with black hair and blue eyes, followed him into the gate of the Qiao family.
At that moment, Qiao Mohan's expression suddenly darkened.
Alan on the side gnashed his teeth secretly.
Su Qing was still the most stable. Although she was also angry three years ago because Yue Zheng had secretly had a relationship with Mu'er and left Mu'er in public.
But Yue Zheng was, after all, the child he had loved.
Yue Zheng has called Su Qing godmother since he was a child, and Su Qing also treats him as her godson and loves him dearly.
Su Qing stopped her husband and son, and said to Yue Zheng gently, "An An, why are you here? Come on, sit down first... Godmother hasn't seen you for a long time."
Su Qing's gentleness and kindness made Yue Zheng's cold blue eyes flicker slightly. (To be continued)
