Out of misfortune cos fortune, and this is precisely the situation at hand.
Suppressing the excitent and thrill bubbling inside her, Dong Xin Yan replied in a hushed tone, "Okay, Housekeeper Zhang."
Previously, she could only sneak upstairs, but now she had an open and honest reason. Dong Xin Yan straightened her back quite a bit, quickly made a cup of coffee, and carried it upstairs.
She didn’t head to the study first but instead moved towards the bedroom.
The dicine was exactly on the table in the bedroom!
Reaching the bedroom door, she paused for a mont, took a light breath, glanced around to ensure no one was there, and gently turned the bedroom door lock.
As the bedroom door opened bit by bit, Dong Xin Yan slowly poked her head inside. A wall lamp illuminated the room with a dim light, and it was very quiet.
There shouldn’t be anyone here...
With this thought, Dong Xin Yan stepped cautiously inside. She quickly approached the table, which was still cluttered with various dicines. Dong Xin Yan hurriedly set down her coffee, took out her phone, and activated the cara function. She picked up each dicine box, snapping photos of the nas and ingredients.
Unexpectedly, just after taking a few photos, a noise suddenly ca from behind her.
Her hands froze, her heart pounding fiercely, Was there soone in the room?
Sure enough, the next second, she heard the bathroom door opening, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and Dong Xin Yan panicked. The only person who could be in this bedroom was Gu Ningyi... If he saw her...
She imdiately pocketed her phone, placed the dicine box back on the table, and bolted for the door. However, just as she reached the doorway, she rembered she hadn’t taken the coffee. Secretly annoyed, she quickly darted back to grab it and continued her escape.
But in her haste, she wasn’t careful, and her feet tangled, sending her body sprawling forward.
The coffee in her hand flew out in an arc, crashing to the ground with a sharp clink, and spilled all over, while Dong Xin Yan fell to the floor, grimacing in pain.
The noise startled her, and a cold, harsh voice ca from behind, "Who?"
Frightened, Dong Xin Yan forgot her pain, scrambling to her feet and dashing out of the room as fast as her limbs could carry her.
At that mont, only one thought echoed in her mind: Don’t... don’t get caught!
As she ran outside, the footsteps behind her were already in pursuit. Fear shook her heart, and she gritted her teeth, running desperately. She intended to run downstairs, but before she reached the stairs, the tall figure had already erged from the room. Dong Xin Yan swerved and headed toward the terrace instead.
The terrace was spacious, with several human-sized potted plants. Once Dong Xin Yan reached it, she quickly found a corner behind one of the plants and crouched down.
Almost as soon as she hid, Gu Ningyi stepped onto the terrace.
Dong Xin Yan swallowed cautiously, trying to hide further in, silently pleading, don’t co over, don’t co over...
Gu Ningyi walked in slowly, his steps light yet seemingly treading on her heart, and Dong Xin Yan instinctively held her breath.
The shadow cast on the ground crept closer little by little, and Dong Xin Yan’s heart rose higher and higher.
