Ever since Bao Shaojin left, An Yin returned to the bedroom with a heavy heart. In her rush to find Bao Shaojin just now, she didn’t have ti to wash her clothes.
When she got back to the bathroom, she found that her clothes were missing.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
An Yin walked to the door and heard the voice of the maid.
"Miss An, lunch is ready!"
An Yin was startled for a mont and then realized it was lunchti. She opened the door and looked at the maid, appearing hesitant.
The auntie noticed her embarrassed look and thought of sothing, then spoke again, "Miss An, I’ve already washed the clothes from the bathroom. I will bring them over once they’re dry."
So they had been taken for washing. An Yin blushed, after all, her personal clothes were mixed in.
"Tha-thank you." An Yin stamred, her face turning red like a blooming apple, looking delicate and captivating.
"You’re welco." The maid smiled kindly.
An Yin stood there, overcoming her internal sha, mustered up the courage to look at her, and stamred, "Auntie, I’m not used to others washing my clothes. I’ll do it myself next ti."
Hearing her words, the maid showed a trace of hesitation. Thinking the young lady might be shy because of her personal clothes, she kindly advised, "Miss An, how about this: I’ll wash the outer garnts, and I won’t touch the personal items?"
"This..." An Yin wanted to refuse.
Seeing through her thoughts, the maid appeared anxious and said, "If you have to handle all these trivial matters yourself, Mr. Bao may bla , and I won’t have a good explanation." The maid wore a troubled expression as she spoke.
The maid didn’t want to make it difficult for An Yin, so she nodded in agreent, "Alright."
The maid was pleased to see her compromise, "When I was doing the laundry earlier, I took your phone from your pocket and placed it on the nightstand."
"Okay." An Yin replied.
Having said that, the maid left.
An Yin turned and took her phone as she left the bedroom. Passing through the hallway, she didn’t see the man, and a trace of disappointnt appeared on her face.
She entered the dining room gloomily.
Even though she was dining alone, the table was loaded with dishes, but normally resistant to food, An Yin found this al tasteless.
Her mind kept replaying the image of the man’s bloodstained hand.
"Buzz buzz..."
As she got lost in thought, the phone beside her rang.
An Yin put down her chopsticks, picked up the phone, and quickly answered when she saw the number on the screen.
"Keke..." Her eyes sparkled with delight, the joy on her face was unmistakable.
It had been so ti since they last contacted each other, and suddenly receiving the call left her worried, especially since today was Bao Cheng’s engagent day.
"Yinyin, how have you been lately?" Jiang Keke greeted, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Pretty good." An Yin blurted out, detecting sothing off in Keke’s voice, she cautiously asked, "Where are you?"
After a few monts of silence, the answer ca, "At Ah Cheng’s engagent venue."
An Yin held her breath, her heart tightened, "You, why did you go there?"
"Of course, to attend Ah Cheng’s engagent banquet," Jiang Keke said matter-of-factly, with a slight smile on her lips.
An Yin had no idea what Jiang Keke planned to do.
Watching the person you like get engaged right before your eyes is cruel to any girl, isn’t it?
"Keke, Bao Cheng is already engaged, what are you planning to do?" An Yin voiced her inner doubt.
"It’s just an engagent." Jiang Keke sneered, her words carrying a hint of mockery.
An Yin was speechless; this was Jiang Keke’s romantic affair, and she couldn’t force a breakup.
While An Yin was in a daze, she heard Jiang Keke’s weak voice from the other side, "Yinyin, can you do a favor?"
"What favor?" An Yin queried, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Please help buy a pregnancy test at the pharmacy."
"You, you’re pregnant?" An Yin exclaid loudly, her voice echoing in the whole dining room.
"Don’t make a fuss," Jiang Keke laughed reassuringly, "Once you buy it, bring it to Ah Cheng’s engagent location. I’ll send you the address on WeChat later. Don’t tell anyone about this, okay?"
An Yin sat stiffly, still in shock, hearing the caution in Keke’s voice.
"Got it," An Yin replied.
"I need it urgently. Can you co a bit earlier?"
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, An Yin put down her phone and finished the remaining bit of her al, then stood up and walked towards the hall.
The maid watched her anxious deanor and ca forward slowly, "Miss An, is there sothing you need?"
An Yin turned her head, looked at the maid, and said, "I have sothing to do and need to go out."
"This..." The maid looked at her with concern.
"Don’t worry, I’ll call..."
Before An Yin could finish, a deep voice ca from the entrance.
"Where do you want to go?"
Bao Shaojin strode in from outside, his tall and commanding presence approached An Yin, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, instilling an inexplicable sense of fear.
An Yin instinctively stepped back.
Bao Shaojin kept moving closer.
Until her back was against the wall, leaving An Yin with nowhere to retreat. She looked up, her clear bright eyes blinking at the man inches away.
Jiang Keke had said, no one must know about delivering the pregnancy test. An Yin lowered her head, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her dress.
"Speak, where do you want to go?" Bao Shaojin appeared intimidating.
They were very close, his deep voice resonated above her.
An Yin stood stiffly, directly seeing the man’s injured hand, bit her lip, and gently asked, "Did you redo the bandage?"
Attempting such a clumsy diversion, Bao Shaojin sneered coldly.
Seeing her anxious look, Bao Shaojin, in the end, didn’t insist on pursuing the topic further.
When An Yin noticed the man quiet, she held her breath, her face flushed red. When extrely nervous, she appeared even more jittery.
"It’s raining outside. Wherever you’re going, I’ll take you!" He was curious where she intended to go amid pouring rain.
The hint of sharpness in the man’s brows made An Yin montarily lose focus. Rembering Jiang Keke’s request, she raised her eyelids and cautiously looked at his proud profile.
"No need, I can manage by myself."
With him around, buying sothing like a pregnancy test would be inconvenient. An Yin contemplated.
"An Yin, are you hiding sothing from ?" Bao Shaojin’s dark eyes suddenly turned icy, staring at her thoughtfully.
