Upon hearing Shen Yulin's words, Anna's face immediately flushed with a hint of red, and her eyes revealed a trace of displeasure. However, she still made an effort to control her emotions, trying to maintain a facade of calmness and elegance. At that moment, my heart was filled with confusion—why did Anna harbor such strong hostility towards me?
Afterward, we escorted the Staff siblings back to the hotel. Inside the car, I could no longer suppress my curiosity and leaned closer to Shen Yulin, lowering my voice to ask, "It seems like Anna has a significant prejudice against me. What is going on?" Shen Yulin paused for a moment in silence, then sighed helplessly and slowly explained, "Actually, when I returned to New York, I was all alone. At that time, Staff had intended to match me with Anna, but I politely declined. Perhaps that's why she sees you as a rival. But you don't need to worry too much; she's just being a bit childish." After hearing his explanation, my worries were somewhat alleviated.
Anna shifted her body forward, moving closer to her seat. Her actions seemed somewhat deliberate as she slightly opened her collar and leaned gently towards Shen Yulin. Her gaze fell on him with a hint of flirtation as she asked me, "Are you Shen's wife?" I silently nodded in response.
Anna continued, "Shen, life was so free and unrestrained back in New York. But since you returned here, why do you seem to have lost quite a bit of weight?" Her tone was filled with concern but completely ignored my feelings sitting in the passenger seat. A wave of displeasure surged within me, prompting me to turn my head and look out the window instead of at them.
Shen Yulin seemed to notice the change in my mood; his expression turned somewhat grim as he impatiently said to Anna, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and sit properly!" Anna clearly did not expect Shen Yulin to suddenly change his attitude and was momentarily stunned. She showed an expression of embarrassment and disappointment before reluctantly sitting back in her seat.
For the remainder of the journey, the four of us sat quietly in the car without speaking. As we approached the hotel, a small cat suddenly darted out from the sidewalk, recklessly crossing into the roadway like a headless fly. Shen Yulin instinctively slammed on the brakes. Caught off guard, I lurched forward; although I was protected by the seatbelt, the sudden impact still caused my stomach to be tightly pressed against it, resulting in a wave of intense discomfort that made me involuntarily let out a soft "ah."
Shen Yulin turned back anxiously to look at me and asked with concern, "Baby, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" I took several deep breaths in an attempt to alleviate the discomfort. After a while, feeling somewhat better, I shook my head at him to indicate that I was fine. Just then, Anna's cold voice came from the back seat: "Feeling uncomfortable from such a sudden brake? That's quite delicate." I turned my head to see Anna staring at me with disdain written all over her face, her eyes filled with contempt and mockery.
"Anna, you absolutely cannot be so rude!" Staff's voice was deep and powerful as he slowly lifted his gaze from his phone screen and fixed it firmly on Anna's face. The once charming and cute expression on her face now bore traces of stubbornness and dissatisfaction.
