My Superstar Wife Is So Popular-Chapter 859 - 857: What Is This?

Wen Qiao had a habit of ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door in sets of three.

After three knocks, when no one came to open the door, Wen Qiao knocked again three times: "Sister Yao, are you up?"

The only response she got was the echo in the hallway.

Usually, if Jiang Yao had work the next day, she would wake up earlier than Wen Qiao and come over to wake her up.

But today, Wen Qiao had already finished washing up, and there was still no sign of Jiang Yao.

Wen Qiao pressed her ear against the door, listening intently for a while, but alas, the soundproofing of the security door was too good, and she couldn’t hear anything.

"Could she still be asleep? That’s not possible..."

Wen Qiao knocked harder on the door twice, and after waiting for two or three minutes, still no one came to open the door.

Could something have happened?

All of a sudden, the news from the internet about incidents with women living alone flooded into Wen Qiao’s mind. She shuddered, quickly flipping open the cover of the password lock on the security door to enter the code and go inside.

Just as her hand touched the password keypad, the door was opened from the inside.

Jiang Yao appeared behind the door, still half-asleep: "What’s up? Why the rush early in the morning?"

Seeing Jiang Yao perfectly fine in front of her, Wen Qiao let out a sigh of relief: "Why did you take so long to open the door? I thought something happened to you."

"What could possibly happen at home?" Jiang Yao tugged at her pajamas, then asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I came to call you for break—hey?" Wen Qiao’s voice suddenly took a turn as she noticed a small red mark faintly visible at the collar of Jiang Yao’s shirt. She took a step forward, leaned in, and reached out to pull at her collar: "Is that a hickey?"

Jiang Yao froze for a moment, then casually brushed away Wen Qiao’s hand that was reaching for her chest, calmly pulling up her collar: "What hickey? I just spilled water on my chest when I couldn’t hold the cup steady yesterday."

Wen Qiao’s eyes widened in disbelief: "I’ve never been burned by water before, you can’t fool me."

"Who’s fooling you? Just because you’ve had hickeys before, you think everything looks like a hickey." Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at her: "If you still don’t believe me, I’ll pour hot water on you at your place later, you can compare."

Wen Qiao quickly clutched her collar: "No need, I believe you."

She took a step back: "Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, come over for breakfast."

Saying that, she turned and went back to the opposite door.

After the door across had completely closed, Jiang Yao suddenly relaxed.

This is so exasperating, how can this kid have such sharp eyes?

Just as she was about to close the door, she felt a tightness around her waist and was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.

Jiang Yao was startled and instinctively looked towards the opposite side, then quickly closed the door.

She slapped the hand around her waist: "Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Ye Shengnan’s chin nudged against Jiang Yao’s shoulder: "Who was knocking just now?"

"Qiaoqiao called me over for breakfast."

Ye Shengnan tightened his arms around Jiang Yao: "What about me?"

Jiang Yao pondered for a moment, tilting her head to look at him: "Shall I order takeout for you?"

"....."

"Don’t look at me like that, then I won’t go." Jiang Yao turned around to face Ye Shengnan: "I’ll stay here and eat with you, okay?"

Ye Shengnan looked at her, moved his lips, and the question he was about to ask was swallowed back down when he saw the cautious look in Jiang Yao’s eyes, "I’m afraid not."

"Why?"

Jiang Yao couldn’t help but get nervous, was he angry?
