A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 310 - 306: At the End of Every Path, He Awaits

Chapter 310: Chapter 306: At the End of Every Path, He Awaits

Mianmian had a hard time following Jing Jihan to H City. If Shi Su doesn’t sleep with her, the little one will definitely feel disappointed.

Besides, this is a hotel room, and even though there are suites next door, they are actually for other uses; there’s only this one bed in the room.

Luckily, the bed is big enough.

Sitting on the bed, Shi Su combed Mianmian’s hair and then lay down hugging her to coax her to sleep.

Mianmian buried her little head in her mommy’s arms, breathing in her scent and contentedly closing her eyes, with her small hands tightly hugging Shi Su’s neck.

After Mianmian fell asleep, Shi Su, who had been filming all day and would have to get up early to continue tomorrow, was also exhausted, almost unable to keep her eyes open after being tired out in the bathroom for so long.

Suddenly, the blanket behind her was lifted, and she turned back drowsily, still hugging Mianmian.

Jing Jihan lay next to her, Mianmian in her arms, him behind her. While she slept hugging Mianmian, his arm wrapped around her from behind, clearly intending to embrace the mother and daughter as they slept together tonight.

Too sleepy to fight it, and with only one bed in the room, Shi Su instinctively nuzzled her head against his neck and whispered, "Sleeping squished with mother and daughter, doesn’t it feel crowded to you?"

"Crowded where?" The man held her tightly, glancing at the little one already asleep on her other side. "This is a buy one, get one free deal — very profitable, very satisfying."

Shi Su couldn’t help but laugh, closing her eyes as she said, "After the New Year holidays, I’ll talk to the company about terminating my contract. By then, I might have to borrow your company’s lawyers for a few days."

"Alright, go to sleep." Jing Jihan kissed her forehead. "I’ll take care of everything."

If she was willing to leave the contract termination to him, settling it amicably would actually be easy. But since she wanted to go through the process herself, to resolve the contract she signed in an official way, he respected her desire for that experience and wouldn’t forcefully keep her under his wing.

But that didn’t mean he could truly let her face hardships without intervening.

The direction she wanted to head in would have its thorns removed for her.

Every path lay open before her, with him at the end of each direction.

"Mm... sleep..." Shi Su was drifting into a half-asleep state.

-

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the clean windows. Shi Su turned over, clutching the edge of the blanket, unwilling to get up.

An hour earlier, Jing Jihan had already taken Mianmian and driven back to Jiang City. She had woken up then, but he pressed her back into the bed to continue sleeping. She was indeed exhausted, so tired that she felt sore all over. It wasn’t until she received a call from Chujun that she forced herself out of bed; her entire body still felt boneless, and she just wanted to stay intertwined with her bed all day.

Finally managing to get up and go to the bathroom to wash up, she had just finished when she heard the doorbell ring.

Earlier, Chujun had called to inform her that the RV would pick her up in half an hour to take her to the filming location; there was no mention of anyone coming to knock now, and Chujun should be washing up at this time too.

This early, who could it be?

Yu Jing Group’s hotels had very comprehensive security measures, so Shi Su wasn’t really worried about other people or obsessed fans knocking on her door. She threw on a piece of clothing and went to open it, only to find Cherry Yang standing outside.

Shi Su raised her eyebrows slightly, exchanging a glance with Cherry Yang.

Cherry Yang was wearing the latest Chanel leather jacket from their autumn-winter collection, holding a luxury bag from the same brand. She glanced indifferently at Shi Su, who was wearing an off-white sweater inside, and without greeting her, walked straight into the room.

"Miss Yang, do you need something?" Shi Su stood by the door, not moving aside. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Cherry Yang looked at her again, with a meaningful tone, "I’m just here to see if you’ve hidden someone in your room."

Shi Su’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

Her first instinct was that this Cherry Yang, who had just become her manager a few days ago, was already having someone spy on her.

Unperturbed, she stood at the door, still not moving aside, "What do you mean?"

Cherry Yang scanned her up and down several times before speaking, "Someone saw a man leaving your room this morning, possibly with a child. Although it was just a glimpse, it did seem to be from this room. I came to confirm it."

"I’m really curious, who saw it?" Shi Su’s face revealed nothing; she merely smiled and said, "Since they came out of my room, they must have passed by in the hallway and elevator. Why don’t you ask the hotel to check the surveillance footage? Why cause a fuss here early in the morning? I’m about to head out to the set, and today’s scenes need to be shot quickly so we can hurry back to Jiang City. Surely Miss Yang can distinguish priorities?"

Cherry Yang’s face darkened.

If she could get the surveillance footage, would she need to come here?

Shi Su was always so mysterious and unreadable. As her manager, Cherry Yang had to find out exactly who she was with and what her background was, but Shi Su never revealed any of this information, so Cherry Yang had to investigate.

But the hotel wouldn’t hand over any surveillance records, not even confirming whether anyone had visited Shi Su’s room last night, and none of the staff would say a word.

Even though Cherry Yang found an old schoolmate who worked at the hotel, the fellow had agreed to help her check, but later claimed not to have seen anyone visit.

The person she sent indeed confirmed that they saw someone leaving, although it wasn’t very clear since it was so early and they only caught a glimpse through the peephole.

It seemed as though the man had vanished into thin air according to everyone at the hotel.

Just who was this mysterious figure? Was it possible to remain untraceable even if she spent money to pull surveillance or used connections?

Cherry Yang glanced at Shi Su again, "I just want to have a look inside. We’re both women after all, it shouldn’t be too much to ask to enter your room."

"You’re free to enter, but I’m just about to pack up because I’ll be checking out later, so don’t mind the mess." Shi Su smiled lightly and finally stepped aside a bit.

Cherry Yang quickly walked inside, checking around the bed area, the bathroom, and the suite, but found nothing.

Everything was clean and tidy, even the bathrobe that Shi Su had used was properly hung in the bathroom without any indication of anything unusual.

Except for a few clothes messily lying on the luggage on the floor, evidently not entirely packed yet.

Cherry Yang walked out, exchanging another glance with Shi Su, who was leisurely leaning against the door.

Shi Su smiled at her, "Done looking? Satisfied?"
