Although Feng Qingqing could perceive what Aunt Gu was thinking, there was nothing she could say at that moment. She simply smiled and remained silent.
Seeing that Feng Qingqing had declined, Aunt Gu did not press the matter further. She felt it would be inappropriate to shamelessly continue prying into her future plans. After a few more polite exchanges, the two parted ways.
On the way to the State-run Restaurant, Feng Qingqing’s expression remained indifferent. The nonchalance she had displayed in front of Aunt Gu was gone. Being a woman herself, she had naturally understood the subtext of Aunt Gu’s thoughts, but some things were not as simple as Aunt Gu imagined. In particular, the mastermind behind this affair was no ordinary person—it was the head of the Fang Family himself.

Moreover, she had no desire to involve herself with a family like that.
