After An Yin entered the bedroom, she was still in a state of confusion.
Her legs weakened, and she sat directly on the carpet, hugging her knees. Her eyes darted around, noting that the room was just as it had always been, clean and tidy. An Yin guessed that soone must clean it every day!
At this mont, she rembered what the man had just said.
There are clothes in the wardrobe for changing!
An Yin dragged her exhausted body up and headed to the walk-in closet. Inside the transparent full-length glass cabinet, it was filled with all kinds of clothes, from inside to outside, top to bottom. An Yin only felt that all these clothes before her were making her a bit dizzy.
Could soone have lived here? These beautiful clothes she saw belonged to that person, right? An Yin couldn’t help but think.
She couldn’t just wear soone else’s clothes without permission.
At this mont, An Yin couldn’t bring herself to imagine that these clothes would have been placed there for her by Bao Shaojin.
After leaving the closet, she went straight to the bathroom. Her ankle, which had been grabbed by the man, was still faintly aching, and just thinking about his hands touching her feet made her feel repulsed and unable to resist the urge to scrub the areas that had been touched by that sleazy man.
An Yin stayed in the bathroom for a full two hours before she slowly made her way out.
After washing up, she washed every piece of clothing she wore and even used a hairdryer to dry all of them inside...
By the ti she ca out, she was utterly drained, feeling dizzy. Looking at the enormous bed, she thought she’d just rest for a minute...
Then go to the study as Bao Shaojin had ntioned.
As she climbed onto the bed and sank into the soft mattress, all her strength seed to drain away. She tried hard to keep her eyes open, telling herself over and over again: Shaojin is waiting for in the study, I must get up, get up, get up...
Within less than a minute, her clear eyes slowly closed, and her entire body lay flat on the bedspread, her face turned to the side, looking as if she was sleeping soundly!
On the other side.
In the study, the bright lights illuminated every corner.
Sitting at the desk, Bao Shaojin held a phone in one hand, clearly in the middle of a call, while he just quietly listened. The other hand held a cigarette, tapping it against the edge of the ashtray.
Whatever the person on the other end said made his expression grow colder, his lips pressing into a thin line, and his cold eyes emanated a faint sense of detachnt and hostility.
"Mr. Bao, in this matter, it seems only that girl nad Shi Qing is innocent, as for Miss An, she..." Assistant Lin didn’t continue his sentence.
But from his earlier report on the entire process, Bao Shaojin could easily deduce that An Yin was ddling unnecessarily and caught the man’s attention because of it.
Yet, it wasn’t exactly about being noticed; this troubleso little girl practically threw herself into the trap.
Clearly, she was the weaker one, yet she tried to save others, only to nearly get herself into trouble in the process!
Bao Shaojin couldn’t imagine how such a kind-hearted girl, with no strength to defend herself and driven purely by a passionate spirit, with such naive and innocent behavior, managed to stay unhard until today - it was simply a miracle!
Assistant Lin on the other end didn’t dare to hang up the phone, but seeing Bao hadn’t given any further instructions, he tried again, "Mr. Bao, what should be done about Zeng Shun?"
Zeng Shun was the man who had taken Shi Qing to the hotel room.
From the mont Bao Shaojin received An Yin’s location, it took Assistant Lin just a few minutes to get all the information about the hotel room Zeng Shun was in, as well as details about Zeng Shun’s family situation.
Bao Cheng recalled the scene in the bathroom, where Zeng Shun, wearing only briefs, was aggressively pulling at the little girl’s clothes, his eyes filled with unrestrained desire.
If he hadn’t arrived in ti, the outco would have been self-evident.
Thinking of this, Bao Shaojin’s heart tightened, and in the next second, he coldly said, "Teach him a lesson."
"Got it, Mr. Bao!" said Assistant Lin, understandingly, without further questions.
After the call ended, he habitually glanced at the ti on his phone.
It had been two hours since she went to bathe.
He rembered having told her to co find him in the study after her bath.
Did she not hear clearly? Or did she not care at all?
Bao Shaojin didn’t dwell on it, standing with a steely presence, walking toward the outside.
He exited the study, reached the hallway, and within a few steps stood at the door of An Yin’s room. He reached out, knocking with a serious expression.
No response.
There wasn’t a single sound from inside the room.
Recalling the girl’s many unreliable actions, Bao Shaojin reached out, his thumb brushing the top of the door lock, and the door slowly opened.
If An Yin knew that the doors here couldn’t keep Bao Shaojin out even if she locked them, her timid nature would surely make her too scared to sleep!
Once the bedroom door was open, in the center lay the girl curled up on the bed, her sleeping posture forming a ball as if she were in a womb, her small body wrapped into an oval shape.
Bao Shaojin had imagined many possibilities.
Had she gotten into so other mischief? Or hurt herself and didn’t dare to co see him out of sha? Never did he expect that she had simply fallen asleep.
He walked over with large strides, seeing her eyes tightly shut, her long dark hair spread across the white sheets, creating a stark contrast between black and white.
The girl’s brows furrowed slightly, as if dreaming of sothing unhappy, even her eyelashes trembling lightly, revealing that her sleep was not restful.
Her nose was high and her nose tip round.
Bao Shaojin’s gaze quickly landed on her red, tender lips, which didn’t seem dry at all, as if moistened, and under the illumination of the light, they shone brilliantly with a silvery-white luster, tempting one to approach, to touch...
In her sleep, she seed like a fairy fallen to the mortal world, exuding an aura of purity and flawlessness.
Bao Shaojin only felt a sudden surge of unease throughout his body, a feeling that stiffened him.
As a man, he clearly understood where this feeling ca from...
His expression turned grim and cold, and the way he looked at An Yin grew increasingly obscure.
She is Bao Cheng’s girlfriend!
Every ti he saw her, he made sure to remind himself of this, yet as soon as this thought erged, a dreadfully terrible idea suddenly arose within him.
The mont this idea sprouted, he imdiately regained his senses. As the head of the Bao Family, always maintaining rationality and never acting on impulse was a lesson he had to learn from a young age!
Bao Shaojin collected his dark expression, took a step back, and turned off the lights for the little girl in the room.
His stormy eyes lingered on the girl in the darkness, for a long ti...
