Gu Shuxin hadn't expected Shen Nian to be so perceptive. The moment Shen Nian turned her head, she ducked out of sight in a panic.
Shen Nian looked in that direction but saw no one, so she turned back to Chu Yunze with a smile and shook her head.
"It's nothing."
'I thought I felt an unfriendly gaze on me just now, but when I looked, there was no one there. Maybe I was just imagining things. After all, this place is very safe.'
"Then let's go!"
"Okay."
Shen Nian nodded and started to leave with Chu Yunze. As she glanced back one more time, she saw the faint silhouette of a woman standing around the corner she had just checked.
'Looks like I wasn't mistaken after all. That hostile stare must have come from her.'
'Someone unfriendly toward me, right here at the Chu residence... In my mind, only one person fits that description.'
