She frowned for a moment, thinking deeply.
But then she shook her head.
'Maybe he's just thinking too much.'
And with that, Gu Jin pushed away all the thoughts that had made her heart flutter.
She focused.
She still had a mission.
Xia Wei must be eliminated, once and for all.
......................
Meanwhile, in another room across the Xia Mansion…
Xia Wei was sitting on her bed. Her phone was in her hand, and she was talking in a low, calm voice.
"Yes. Tomorrow night. Make sure everything is ready. There can't be any mistakes."
A quiet voice answered from the other side.
"Understood."
She hung up the call.
The room was dark and silent.
Xia Wei leaned back and stared at the ceiling.
Her expression wasn't cruel. It wasn't angry.
It was… tired.
She whispered to herself, "I'm not doing this because I hate her. I'm not even jealous."
She closed her eyes slowly.
"I just… don't want to disappear."
