"That is a good idea," Long Yu said after listening to Yao Ran's explanation.
"I just hope nothing happens before the wall is completed," Yao Ran replied.
While the villa's occupants were busy fortifying their homes, other survivors were searching for supplies.
Eight days later, when the workers finished the walls and began installing the power grids, someone unexpectedly visited Yao Ran.
"Is the owner of this villa at home?" A woman asked one of the workers.
During the project, the worker enjoyed two meals a day and had grown fond of Yao Ran.
Seeing the woman in expensive clothes, he asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are?" The woman frowned slightly at his dirty hands and took a few steps back before replying, "I'm the owner of the villa next door. I'm here to speak with the owner of this villa."
Noticing her disdainful expression, the worker felt annoyed but held back his anger. He replied politely, "Miss Yao is at home. Please wait here while I inform her."
"There is no need," the woman interrupted. "I will find her myself."
Before the worker could stop her, the woman walked into the villa. Afraid that his boss would blame him, the worker quickly went to find Shi Xuan in the backyard. When he arrived, he saw that Yao Ran was also there.
Approaching them, the worker said, "Miss Yao, a woman just arrived looking for you. I tried to stop her, but she ignored me and went inside."
Yao Ran frowned at his words and asked, "Do you know who she is?"
"She said she is the owner of the next-door villa," the worker replied.
Before Yao Ran could respond, they heard a woman's voice from inside the villa.
"Are you the owner of this villa?" the woman called out.
A second later, Long Yu's cold voice sounded, "Who are you? Get out now."
Hearing his cold tone, Yao Ran and Shi Xuan exchanged glances. It seemed the woman had bumped into Long Yu.
Turning to the worker, Yao Ran said, "Thank you for letting me know. You can go back to work."
"Alright." The worker nodded and left.
Once he was gone, Yao Ran and Shi Xuan headed inside. As they entered the sitting room, they saw the woman staring at Long Yu with interest. Unhappy with the way she looked at her fiancé, Yao Ran frowned and walked up to them.
When Long Yu heard her footsteps, he turned around and smiled. "Ran Ran, do you want to eat together?"
Standing beside him, Yao Ran asked, "Do you know this woman?"
Long Yu shook his head, "No. When I came down to find you, I saw her wandering around our home, so I asked her to leave."
