Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sheng Nian stared at her with suspicion for a mont. Soon after, they heard the sound of the door handle being turned at the entrance.
Sheng Nian propped up her upper body to look outside. However, before she could adjust to the darkness at the door, a warm hand suddenly covered her eyes.
Then, that hand applied more pressure, forcefully pushing her head back onto the pillow.
Sheng Nian was about to say sothing when i Shu moved her arm down to Sheng Nian’s waist and gently pinched the soft flesh there.
Sheng Nian:”…” She really wanted to give this girl a good slap!
However, she chose to obey i Shu’s instructions for the ti being and closed her eyes obediently.
There was a carpet on a section of the floor near the room’s entrance, so Sheng Quan’s steps on it wouldn’t make any noise.
However, i Shu still detected the faintest, almost imperceptible sound.
As Sheng Quan drew closer, i Shu’s hand on Sheng Nian’s waist kept tightening.
Unknowingly, Sheng Nian beca sowhat nervous, and her tightly closed eyes began to tremble.
It seed that i Shu had sensed the tension in the person beside her. She gently moved the hand on Sheng Nian’s waist and gave her back a gentle pat.
In an instant, Sheng Nian tensed up, and all her attention was drawn to that hand. She even montarily forgot about Sheng Quan suddenly entering the room.
Footsteps could be heard in the room again, and this ti, Sheng Quan stopped right above i Shu’s head.
He bent down, carefully examining i Shu’s face, but he didn’t detect anything unusual.
On the bed, the two young girls slept peacefully side by side, and a faint blush even appeared on Sheng Nian’s cheeks.
Sheng Quan couldn’t help but glance at them for a mont, reaching out to smooth down the loose strands of hair covering his daughter’s face. Only then did he straighten up and exit the room.
But neither of the two girls in the room made any movents.
Originally, Sheng Nian had wanted to question i Shu, but i Shu pinched her waist again. She quickly realized sothing and obediently kept her mouth shut.
After a while, the room’s door was opened once more, and this ti, footsteps could be heard at the door.
When the door was securely closed again, i Shu finally lifted her eyelids.
Beneath her long eyelashes were a pair of icy-cold eyes that were brewing a storm.
Sheng Nian hadn’t received any signal from i Shu that it was okay to open her eyes, so she impatiently shifted her waist.
i Shu snapped out of her thoughts and realized that the person in front of her was still pretending to be asleep. She couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle.
She hid her amusent and suddenly had the urge to tease Sheng Nian. Once again, she touched her waist, not too lightly and not too heavily.
Sheng Nian imdiately dared not move.
However, she had a feeling of being taken advantage of.
A thought flashed through Sheng Nian’s mind, and she pretended to turn over, raising her hand as if to give i Shu a playful punch.
But her arm was caught in mid-air. Sheng Nian’s eyes snapped open, and she stared at i Shu with a glare. “I was trying to help you, and you’re still teasing ?”
“Miss Sheng, I just wanted you to stay still and not disrupt my thoughts. When did I tease you?” i Shu replied.
“You!” Sheng Nian was so angry that she sat up, and she looked like she wanted to kick i Shu off the bed. “You explain right now. Where did you go in the middle of the night? Why did my father suddenly co here?”
Upon ntioning this, i Shu’s smile suddenly disappeared.
“Because he found out that soone had sneaked into his study just now, and he suspects that person is .”
“Was it you or not?” Sheng Nian asked incredulously.
Under Sheng Nian’s astonished gaze, i Shu slowly nodded and admitted, “It was .”
Sheng Nian’s face imdiately darkened. She stared at i Shu intently, her voice tinged with frustration. “Do you realize that my father’s study contains confidential docunts of the Sheng family? What were you here for? If you don’t explain yourself, I’ll go tell my father right now that the person who entered his study was you!”
“Don’t get worked up, Miss Sheng. I brought sothing back, and you might find it interesting.” i Shu said as she opened her phone and showed her the photo she had found earlier. “Isn’t this woman your mother?”
Sheng Nian hastily snatched the phone from her, her face turning pale. Even her hands trembled slightly. “This… This is Lu Ming’s mother! But why does my father have a picture like this with her?”
The man and woman in the photo were clearly quite young, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old. At that ti, Sheng Quan and Sheng Nian’s mother probably didn’t even know each other.
“How could this be? What kind of relationship do they have?” Sheng Nian’s fingertips tightened on the phone, causing them to turn slightly pale.
i Shu was afraid that she would smash her phone if she lost her mind, so she quickly snatched it back from her hand and put it back in his pocket. “I don’t know what kind of relationship they have, but your father is definitely hiding so important secrets, and it seems like he’s being threatened, possibly related to your matters.”
Sheng Nian blinked her eyes, looking helpless as she turned to i Shu. “Is he in danger?”
“He’s not in imdiate danger,” i Shu replied with a self-deprecating smile. “But all the secrets he has worked so hard to hide will eventually be uncovered
by soone..”
