Ning Ran sensed something different about Ding Fei when she met the latter.

She looked haggard, and her eyes were bloodshot. Her already stiff face looked more frightening than usual.

What puzzled Ning Ran the most was that the hatred in Ding Fei's eyes seemed less intense than it used to be.

The resentment emanating from her was less overpowering as well. That was the most significant change.

Clad in loose-fitting pajamas, she was seated on the massage table in the sauna, and her hair fell messily over her shoulders. She wore no makeup, not even lipstick.

That puzzled Ning Ran, too.

Ding Fei had always thought of Ning Ran as her enemy. At the very least, she had always imagined the latter to be her arch-nemesis.

Not wanting to be outdone by Ning Ran in any aspect, she always made sure she was well-dressed and dolled up whenever she met the former.

However, that day, she presented herself before Ning Ran in a casual and indifferent manner. She even looked rather wretched, which was highly unusual.

“Thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.”

The first words that popped out of Ding Fei's mouth astounded Ning Ran even more.

Did she just thank me? I can't believe Ding Fei said that. Did the sun rise from the west today? Or did she misspeak? Something's not right. Is she plotting another evil scheme? Why else would she be this courteous?

However, Ning Ran was not afraid, for Qiao Zhan was on the other side of the door. He did not join her in the room simply because it was an area for female patrons only, and his presence was not permitted.

“Why are you so anxious to see me?” Ning Ran asked abruptly.
