Chapter 24

As for Xiang Lu, a supporting female character, her final ending is that she realizes she didn't really like Lu Yanshi, and only assumed she would marry Lu Yanshi because of the marriage contract. In the end, she falls in love with someone else, finds peace, and wishes the male and female leads well.

Oh, and of course, there's Qi Yang. As the biggest villain, Qi Yang targets the male lead in various ways in the early stages, but later falls in love with Shen Anya. Then it's another drama of the protagonist and villain fighting for the female lead, and in the end, the villain sacrifices his life for love and the female lead.

In any case, these supporting characters are just there to pave the way for the great love between the male and female leads; they're nothing more than tools.

Meanwhile, Café.

Their hands accidentally touched under the table. Shen Anya immediately withdrew her hand, her ears turning slightly red, and she hurriedly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

The lighting was dim, the environment quiet, and the atmosphere ambiguous.

"I heard you broke off your engagement with Sheng Mingzhou?" the boy suddenly asked.

Shen Anya nodded and replied softly, "My parents lifted the ban."

Have you considered breaking off the engagement?

"I will..."

"Anya! I've bought everything, let's go back!" Before Shen Anya could answer, Xiang Lu.

As if she had done something wrong, she hurriedly stood up, "Okay, okay, let's go back then."

"Anya," Xiang Lu, linking her arm with Anya's, "I told my parents I'm going to your house tonight and sleep with you!"

Shen Anya instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Okay, but my room is a bit small, you might not be used to sleeping there."

"How could that be? What are you talking about! It's not like I haven't slept with you before, how could I not be used to it! Don't worry, it won't happen!"

When Xiang Lu arrived at the Shen Family, she finally understood what Shen Anya meant by "not being used to sleeping there"!

Chapter 24

◎Both siblings were cheated on◎

"Anya, is this really your room? Your princess room?"

Xiang Lu stared in disbelief at this simple, cramped room, which didn't even have a Shen Anya -in closet! This wasn't a room at all; it was more like a storage room!

How could this have happened? She only went abroad for three months, what exactly happened during that time?!

Shen Anya maintained her smile, "Mom and Dad said that my sister has suffered a lot outside, and she likes the princess room, so I gave it to her."

"It's okay, it's the same for me wherever I stay. This room is just a bit small and doesn't have a walk-in closet, but it has everything else I need..."

"What do you mean, 'same'!" Xiang Lu's eyes were red with anger. "This is a guest room Anya, do you even know what a guest room is? How is the place where guests stay the same as the place where family members stay? Don't you have any other rooms in your house? How can you stay in a guest room!"

Shen Anya: "A guest room is still a room, I think it's fine."

"Shen Anya!" Xiang Lu full name in anger. Did this person even understand what a guest room was?! Guest rooms are for guests! Was the point even the room itself?! She understood! "Was it that woman who cried her heart out to your parents, and that's why they forced you to give up the room? Yes! That must be it! That woman is too cunning!"

"Anya, don't be afraid, I'll go out and talk to your aunt right now!" Xiang Lu said, rolling up her sleeves. "I'm so angry! I have to have a serious talk with your parents! What were they thinking, letting their own daughter stay in the guest room while their illegitimate daughter gets to stay in the princess room!"

"No, Lu Lu!" Shen Anya quickly grabbed Xiang Lu. She didn't bring her here so she could go and settle scores with her parents!

"Lu Lu, don't go. I don't want Mom and Dad to argue about this. They're caught in the middle and it's really difficult for them. If giving up my room can ease their burden, there's nothing wrong with that."

"You!" Xiang Lu was furious with her, feeling a mix of anger, heartache, and helplessness. "You're such a good person, always thinking of others, and that's why things have turned out this way!"

She's different; she can do whatever she wants!

Having made up her mind, Xiang Lu, "Anya, it's okay, no matter what, you still have me! By the way, didn't you say last time that you broke off your engagement with Sheng Mingzhou?"

"I've already found you a handsome guy. He's three years older than us, but he's definitely reliable!"

Shen Anya smiled and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiang Lu winked and chuckled, "Hehe, he's my brother!"

"I carefully selected and kept this one! Don't let my brother's age fool you; he used to be the most handsome guy in Jingbei, and he's just as good-looking as Qi Yang!"

"Come on! Get your phone out, I'll send you his contact information right now!"

Shen Anya smiled and took out her phone.

"Where's Lu Lu? Didn't she stay last night?"

During breakfast time, Zhao Huizhen saw Shen Anya come out of her room alone and asked her a question out of curiosity.

Shen Anya glanced at the group of people eating breakfast, then raised her voice slightly, "No, she said she couldn't get used to sleeping in a small bed, so she went home."

Zhao Huizhen fell silent, her brows furrowed. Just when Shen Anya thought she would feel guilty, Zhao Huizhen frowned and said, "Then why don't you sleep in the last room upstairs? Isn't that room already renovated?"

Shen Anya stumbled slightly.

"That room was renovated the day before yesterday," Shen Ting'an said, subtly observing Shen Anya. "Aren't you moving up?" He paused. "Or do you prefer the guest room on the first floor?"

"Cough cough--" Shen Anya choked on her milk in fright, her face flushed red, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on her back. "No, no, Dad, I forgot."

"I'm used to living on the first floor, and I forgot about it since I hadn't been up to the second floor," she quickly added.

Shen Ting'an ignored her explanation and his expression grew even colder. "Of course, we have no objection if you want to stay in the guest room indefinitely."

Shen Anya's face instantly turned pale, then she panicked even more. "No, Dad, I really forgot. I'll move in today."

Seeing her so flustered, Shen Luoluo couldn't help but laugh. [Oh dear! Would you say she messed up?]
