Preoccupied with thoughts about her sister Huo Mian, Lu Yan wasn’t in the mood to take food from An .
As she turned the wheel on her watch, she gestured to him with her forefinger that she didn’t want to eat .
Then she walked out, leaving An standing where he was .
He put the roast sweet potato back into his pocket carefully, keeping it warm for Lu Yan in case she’d get hungry later .
An’s gesture was endearing, but it did nothing to ease Lu Yan’s mind right now .
All kinds of thoughts and feelings swirled in Qin Chu’s mind; he had been like this ever since Huo Mian left .
At Sky Blessing Court .
Zhixin was a deep sleeper and could sleep through a thunderstorm .
But Bella was a light sleeper; besides, she was more alert after Huo Mian and Qin Chu told her to be watchful .
At midnight, she was woken up by a strange sound .
Turning on the flashlight on her cellphone, she walked downstairs in her pajamas .
Yang Meirong and Jing De’s room was on the first floor .
The moment Bella got to the first floor, she bumped into Yang Meirong who was walking out of her room .
“Mom, how come you’re out, too…?”
“Did you hear that strange sound, too?” Yang Meirong looked at Bella in terror .
Bella nodded and was a bit fearful .
“Mom, what was it?”
“I don’t know . It seemed to have come from the kitchen…”
Mustering their courage, they walked toward the kitchen cautiously .
Before they reached it, a cold voice came from behind them .
“What are you doing?”
They looked back together and saw Jing De walk out from the bedroom .
His expression was gloomy with sullen eyes .
“De, didn’t you hear that strange sound?”
“Do you mean the birds I bought during the day?”
“Birds?” Yang Meirong was surprised .
“Yeah, I bought several birds from the market and plan to give them to Pudding and Little Bean . ”
Jing De’s face and voice were still cold; one couldn’t see any kindness from his face .
“I see . Then it must have been the sound from the birds . I thought a thief broke in…”
Believing Jing De’s words, Yang Meirong walked back .
Resigned, Bella had to turn back and go upstairs .
“Bella, go back to bed . You and Zhixin need to go to work tomorrow,” Yang Meirong instructed her daughter-in-law .
“Okay . You go back to bed, too, Mom . ”
As Bella walked upstairs, she glanced back at the kitchen with a weird feeling in her heart .
She didn’t think it was a sound from a bird; it sounded shrill .
Now that her mother-in-law had believed that guy’s words, she could do nothing about it .
It seemed Sister Mian and President Qin were right; this guy wasn’t what he was pretending to be, and she must watch him closely .
Yang Meirong and Jing De returned to their bedroom and fell asleep again .
At two o’clock in the morning, Jing De walked into the kitchen stealthily and no one knew what he did in there . But when he came out, he had blood on his lips and a creepy smile in his eyes…
Meanwhile, Huo Mian landed from a helicopter and then travelled on a mountainous path for a long time in an ORV .
During the bumpy ride, she protected her belly carefully, fearing to hurt her baby .
Finally, the ORV drove slowly to a group of bamboo cottages and stopped in an open space .
Zhao Qingya had been waiting for her . Today, she had purposefully put on a red long dress, looking seductive with heavy make-up .
When the car door opened and Huo Mian got out of the car slowly, Zhao Qingya chuckled smugly, “Whoa . Look who’s here . Tsk, tsk… Aren’t you our genius doctor?”
