Chapter 892: 892, Young Master Xiao sleepwalked again

Su Family’s villa.

Jiang Yi sat on the sofa in the bedroom, lost in thought when suddenly a series of footsteps came from outside.

She immediately stood up and went out.

As expected, Su Yanyan was wearing a pink dress with bare shoulders and an open back, about to go downstairs.

“Yanyan, where are you going again?” Jiang Yi hurriedly asked.

“To meet a friend.”

Jiang Yi said, “It’s your birthday today, don’t go out. Mom will take you to buy a gift later, and tonight we’ll celebrate with your dad and grandpa…”

“I’m an adult, what’s there to celebrate? Just give me a red envelope, and besides, a friend asked me out today, I don’t need you guys.” Saying this, Su Yanyan quickly went downstairs.

Jiang Yi stood there, frowning deeply.

After a while, she hesitated and took out her phone to dial Su Yuntang’s number.

It rang several times before being picked up, and a man’s indifferent voice came through, “What is it?”

Enduring, Jiang Yi asked, “The station isn’t busy today, is it?”

“What’s the matter?” Su Yuntang asked.

“Did you forget? Today is Yanyan’s 19th birthday.”

“… Is it?” Su Yuntang had really forgotten, “I’ve been too busy with work recently, I didn’t pay attention to the date.”

Jiang Yi said, “It’s fine, come home early in the afternoon. We will go out to eat as a family to celebrate.”

“It’s fine to eat at home,” Su Yuntang said.

“It’s Friday today, there’s no need to get up early for work tomorrow, and when was the last time our whole family went out to eat together? Or do you have social engagements tonight?”

“…” Su Yuntang was silent for a while, then said, “Alright, you make the reservation, I’ll go there directly.”

“Alright, then I won’t disrupt your work, goodbye.”

“Wait a minute.” Su Yuntang suddenly called out to her.

Jiang Yi asked, “What is it?”

“Did someone come to the house to deliver something today?”

Hearing this question, Jiang Yi said, “Yes, a waiter from a club said you left something there, and they just delivered it.”

“In that case, help me keep it for now.”

“Sure,” Jiang Yi quickly said, “Who sent this to you? I checked, and this pen seems quite expensive.”

“A friend,” Su Yuntang said indifferently, “Alright, I’m busy with something here, I’ll hang up now.”

“… Okay.”

The call was hung up.

Jiang Yi sat there, but a mocking smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Su Yuntang, are you lying to me now for Ya Jin’s sake?

**

In the afternoon, when Su Yuntang received a WeChat message from Jiang Yi, he was somewhat stunned.

Soon after, Jiang Yi’s call came, “Husband, did you get my message?”

Su Yuntang said, “I got it.”

“That’s good. You didn’t reply to me; I thought you were busy again. I booked a private room at the club for six o’clock tonight. You can come straight from the TV station after work, and I’ll have the driver take us there together.”

Su Yuntang frowned, “Why go there?”

“Do you think it’s too expensive?” Jiang Yi said with a laugh, “It’s Yanyan’s birthday only once a year, and I wanted to find a nice place for the whole family to have a good meal together. I didn’t know where to go at first, but then I saw the business card the waiter left in the morning. I checked, and this club has a high online rating, nice environment, and private rooms well-suited for family gatherings, so I booked this one.”

“Is it necessary to go to a club for just a family meal?”

“But I’ve already reserved the private room, it’s really hard to book a spot here…”

Su Yuntang: “…”

A few seconds later, he compromised, “Fine then.”

**

At six o’clock in the evening, Su Yuntang arrived on time at the club’s private room, only to find Jiang Yi there alone.

“Where’s Dad and Yanyan?”

“Dad said it was too hot and didn’t want to come out, and Yanyan has been playing outside all day. She drank quite a bit this afternoon and was still not up when we were leaving.”

Su Yuntang: “…”

“I saw it was about time, and thought we haven’t had a meal alone together in a long time, so I didn’t cancel the reservation.”

With that said, Su Yuntang had nothing else to comment, so he just sat down.

The server came in quickly to serve the dishes.

The per capita consumption level at this private club was not low, and the chefs were all famous, making the dishes exquisite and delicious.

Yet, the two of them ate very quietly, with only the sound of cutlery intersecting, the private room was as calm as could be.

When the server came in to bring the dessert, Jiang Yi raised her eyes to look at her husband across the table, “Yuntang.”

Su Yuntang lifted his head, “What is it?”

“Which private room were you in with your friends last night?”

Su Yuntang’s expression changed slightly, but he still answered, “The room opposite.”

“That side seems to have a better view, overlooking the club’s back garden, but not from here, you can only see the road.” Jiang Yi seemed to be talking to herself, “No wonder when I was booking, the server told me the private rooms here are slightly cheaper. The ones opposite are the SVIP rooms, only reservable with the club’s SVIP gold card…”

Su Yuntang sipped his red wine, not really paying attention, until…

“Coincidentally, Mrs. Zhou and the others are having a gathering tomorrow, I think the environment here is really nice. Yuntang, give me your friend’s contact, I want to borrow his SVIP card here.”

Su Yuntang frowned deeply, “What do you want to do?”

Jiang Yi’s smile remained unchanged, “I’m supposed to provide the location this time, so I thought…”

“How many times have I told you, you’re not in the same circle as those women. Forcing your way in and pretending to be something you’re not, is it interesting?”

Jiang Yi looked at him, her smile gradually stiffening, “Do you think I enjoy puffing up my face to look fat? Do you think I like making fake friendships with them? Do you think I’m doing all this for myself? I’m doing it all for you, for this family! Your TV station’s biggest advertiser is managed by Mrs. Zhou’s husband, and for all these years, if it weren’t for me maintaining our relationship with her, do you think the Zhou Family would keep investing in ads for several consecutive years…”

“I don’t need you to do this.” Su Yuntang stood up abruptly, “Without the Zhou Family, there will be other companies; the TV station doesn’t need your…”

“In the end, you just don’t want to borrow the card from your friend, right?”

Su Yuntang frowned deeply, “I just don’t need you to do these things, and you don’t have to maintain any relationship with them…”

“But I’ve already made the arrangements.” Jiang Yi pressed on, “It’s just borrowing your friend’s name to reserve a private room, is that so difficult?”

Su Yuntang looked at her, his jaws clenched tightly together.

“If you feel embarrassed, give me his number, I’ll talk to him myself.”

Ever since they got married, Jiang Yi had stayed at home, supporting her husband and educating their daughter.

Su Yuntang was rather patriarchal, advocating for the man to be the breadwinner and the woman to handle household affairs, and Jiang Yi had always complied with him.

Through twenty years of marriage, the couple had always treated each other with respect. Whenever there was an issue, she would always listen to his opinion first. This was the first time she had suddenly taken such a firm stance…

Su Yuntang was irritated and his expression darkened, “I can’t afford to lose face like this!”

Jiang Yi remained silent.

Su Yuntang thought she realized her mistake and reached for his glass of red wine, just about to drink.

“Huh.” Jiang Yi suddenly let out a light laugh, “Your friend… that’s Yan Shunhua, right?”

Su Yuntang’s face changed.

The red liquid in the glass also shook violently.

Jiang Yi looked down, took her handbag, “This is a gift she sent you, I brought it over for you.”

Upon seeing the purple box, Su Yuntang set down his wine glass, his face growing cold.

“Aren’t you going to open it and take a look?” Jiang Yi offered the box to him.

Su Yuntang did not speak or reach out for it.

So, Jiang Yi opened the box herself, then picked up the exquisitely diamond-encrusted pen, “A high-end custom-made pen from European brand Simple, with an elegant and delicate design, and luxurious diamond accents, making a pen a symbol of luxury for the successful gentleman…”

Finally, Su Yuntang spoke, “How do you know it was from her?”

“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it at all.”

Su Yuntang sighed as if to explain, “Recently the TV station has been discussing a partnership with her. Yesterday, we only met once, and the meeting here was just to ask what really happened back then…”

“And then?” Jiang Yi interrupted, “Do you want to know why she didn’t die back then? Or do you want to ask why she betrayed you?”

When it came to “betrayal,” the recently softened expression on Su Yuntang’s face turned cold again.

“Why would she give you this?” Jiang Yi was relentless, “A pen worth several hundred thousand RMB, just given away like that? What exactly is she trying to do?”

“How should I know?”

“What did you both do last night?”

Back and forth, Su Yuntang became somewhat displeased.

His face darkened, and he stood up from his chair, “It seems to me you really didn’t want to have dinner today. Since that’s the case, why bother wasting money here?”

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

Jiang Yi was stunned, but quickly got up and chased after him.

Outside, she finally caught the man, “Yuntang, I was wrong, please don’t be angry.”

Where was the aggressiveness that Jiang Yi had just now?

“I know, Ya Jin did such an embarrassing thing back then, you hate her, how could you possibly have anything to do with her again… It was just me being petty, Yuntang, but it’s because I love you too much. You didn’t tell me yesterday, and then this morning the server mentioned that the gift was from Miss Yan. I immediately thought of you… You know I can’t keep things to myself, but I really wasn’t trying to question you, I just wanted to help you.”

Looking at Su Yuntang’s expressionless face, Jiang Yi continued, “What she did back then was her own fault. She probably faked death because she was too ashamed to come back, especially since it was so humiliating. She wouldn’t have changed her name otherwise. Yuntang, I was wrong, I was just afraid she came back on purpose to seduce you, scared that your old feelings would reignite…”

“What are you talking about?” Su Yuntang rebutted, “She was caught in bed with another man while pregnant with Wanwan, I saw it with my own eyes. How could I possibly forgive her? Let alone have any old feelings for her?”

“I know,” Jiang Yi said, clinging to him with a pitiful look, “I trust you completely, but I fear she has not given up, especially now that you’re the station manager, and after all, she was the one who did you wrong. She might be trying to make it up to you, that’s probably why she wants to meet and give you gifts…”

“She’s already married and has a daughter. We both have our own families now, can’t you just stop overthinking it?” he finished, then added, “She didn’t even come yesterday, and as for this pen… I’ll find an opportunity to return it to her.”

“Okay,” Jiang Yi nodded eagerly.

**

The next day.

While having breakfast, a courier came to the house.

In front of Jiang Yi, Su Yuntang had the courier take the gift box, the delivery address was Yan Shunhua’s company address.

The following two days of the weekend were calm and tranquil.

When the new week arrived, Su Yuntang went to work on time every day, and Jiang Yi’s mind gradually settled.

——Divider——

“Chairman.”

In the living room, Yan Shunhua came back to his senses.

“This is the gown you participated in designing before. The designer hurried to finish it and has delivered it. Please take a look first,” Mary said with a smile.

The designer and staff stood aside, opening the mobile wardrobe.

Hanging inside was a stunning starry gown, with a spaghetti strap style and cascading skirt, yet its light fabric gave it an ethereal, otherworldly elegance.

Yan Shunhua approached and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

The staff member beside him asked, “Would you like to try it on? If any of the sizes are off, we can make adjustments.”

“No need,” Yan Shunhua said.

The staff found it strange.

After all, if you looked at Yan Shunhua’s body measurements… they didn’t seem to match this dress.

Could it be a gift for someone else?

It must be.

The style of this dress is leaning towards the younger crowd…

After Mary left with the designer and the staff, Yan Shunhua stood there watching the dress, until a little girl’s voice rang out…

“So pretty!”

Wendy ran out of the room, her eyes wide with delight at the sight of the lovely dress.

Yan Shunhua asked with a smile, “Wendy, do you think this dress is very pretty too?”

“Yeah!” Wendy nodded vigorously, instinctively reaching out to touch it…

“Don’t touch!”

Startled, Wendy’s little hand froze mid-air.

Yan Shunhua walked over and pulled her hand back, “Wendy, this dress is a gift for your sister, you can’t touch it, okay?”

Wendy nodded, half understanding.

She couldn’t touch her sister’s things…

Yan Shunhua then took out his phone and took several pictures before sending out a message.

Soon enough, Huo Jingshen called.

“…for the past twenty years, I haven’t been there for Wanwan, nor have I ever celebrated her birthday with her. I really want to give her this dress and watch her wear it on her birthday… Even if she doesn’t know it’s from me, I don’t care.”

Huo Jingshen said, “If that’s the case, just give it to her directly.”

“But she doesn’t want to see me at all…” Yan Shunhua said, “Ashen, can you deliver the dress to her for me? Just say it’s from you…”

“What she dislikes even more is deception.”

That statement left Yan Shunhua somewhat at a loss for words.

“Haven’t you been to the film studio these days?” Huo Jingshen suddenly changed the subject.

Yan Shunhua replied, “Wendy arrived, and I really couldn’t bear to leave her alone in the villa. So I haven’t been to the set these past couple of days. The main scenes have been mostly shot anyway, and the remaining shots are mostly location work that the assistant director and cinematographer can handle.”

“In that case,” Huo Jingshen said, “Axui’s wedding is at the beginning of next month, you can come with Director Gu.”

“Alright.” Yan Shunhua understood his meaning, “Thank you, Ashen.”

“No need to thank me,” Huo Jingshen said, “I just don’t want her to end up with regrets like you.”

“What do you mean?”

“I have social obligations now,” Huo Jingshen was not willing to discuss more, “You should rest early as well.”

“…Okay.”

**

In the corridor of a business lounge.

Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, about to head back to his private room.

“Jason.”

Hearing that familiar voice, Huo Jingshen stopped in his tracks, then turned around.

The woman standing in the corridor was Dong Manjiao.

Still dressed to kill, with her bright red lips and noticeable smile.

Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes slightly, “When did you arrive in Nancheng?”

Dong Manjiao laughed, “After I found out Fu Xihan brought your sister to Nancheng, I followed.”

She moved closer slowly, “They live in the same complex as you, and to think they have a five-year-old son. Turns out, that little guy is your sister’s and Fu Xihan’s son, which means…”

She thought for a moment, “In the words of the Chinese, would that little guy be your nephew?”

Huo Jingshen’s expression was indifferent, “This is not where you should be, I advise you to go back sooner rather than later.”

“I really didn’t expect your little wife to actually forgive you. It seems she’s even more naive than I thought, or… is she just pretending to be dumb? After all, with your looks and conditions, her being with you is a stroke of luck that comes once in eight lifetimes…”

Huo Jingshen glanced at two bodyguards dressed in black not far away, retracted his gaze, still calm and detached, “Manjiao, I’ve said you have two options, either continue being friends with me, or…become enemies.”

“But I don’t want to do either.” Dong Manjiao said, leaning closer, her beautiful eyes swirling with charm, whispering ambiguously, “I only want to be your woman…”

Before she could get close, Huo Jingshen stepped back and quickly turned around.

Dong Manjiao called out, “Don’t think that just because we’re in Nancheng, I can’t take action!”

The man didn’t look back, and went straight into the private room.

Dong Manjiao stood in the corridor, her face tight.

Then she said, “Nineteen.”

The bodyguard called Nineteen immediately came over, respectful, “What would you like to instruct, Miss?”

“Follow the plan, start by giving Fu Qi some trouble first.”

“Received.” The bodyguard quickly took the order and left.

Dong Manjiao’s red lips curled into a smile.

Jason, do you really think I don’t dare touch Su Wanwan?

I just don’t want to break the harmony between us for now.

But I have to stir up some trouble first, then you’ll know…that this time I’m serious.

**

After the socializing was over, Huo Jingshen returned home to find Su Wanwan taking a bath.

The crystal light shimmered, a variety show played on the television, and KO squatted on the carpet, seriously watching the TV screen.

Hearing the door open, he immediately stood up from the carpet and howled at him.

Huo Jingshen narrowed his dark eyes, “Out.”

The dog took a step back but didn’t leave.

Huo Jingshen walked to the wardrobe, raised his hand, leisurely began unbuttoning his shirt, rolled up the sleeves, and then unbuttoned the collar as well.

Finally, he unbuckled the belt at his waist, turned around, and pulled it taut in the air.

“Woof!”

KO barked just once, then ran out, tail tucked, scared by his master.

Huo Jingshen shut the bedroom door, then locked it.

So when Su Wanwan came out wrapped in a bath towel, blinking, she asked, “When did you get back?”

She had just heard the dog barking outside and thought KO was causing trouble again…

Huo Jingshen walked over and took her into his arms, “Baby, give me a kiss.”

Su Wanwan frantically pushed him away, “You stink, all I can smell is alcohol!”

“It was only a bit.”

Recently, there had been a lot of business socializing at the company, and this was not the first time he had come home late reeking of alcohol.

Su Wanwan glared at him, “All you ever do is socialize, tell me, were you drinking with men or women tonight?”

“Men.”

But Su Wanwan suddenly moved her face closer, carefully sniffing him like a little dog up and down his body.

Huo Jingshen: “…”

As expected.

“`

“There’s the smell of women’s perfume!” Su Wanwan felt like she was Sherlock Holmes!

She had never really done this kind of inspection before, but on a whim today, she actually smelled perfume!

Huo Jingshen had no choice but to say, “Probably got it on me without noticing.”

“Ha, you can get it on you even without letting a woman near you?” Su Wanwan didn’t buy it.

“Mm.” Huo Jingshen nodded, “Indeed, there was a woman who tried to make improper advances towards me…”

Su Wanwan: “…”

“But hubby guarantees, I didn’t let her get close, much less make any contact.” Huo Jingshen said this openly and confidently, without a hint of guilt.

All along, he indeed had behaved well, almost no scandal at all.

And when men socialize and drink, women are usually present at those occasions, even if Huo Jingshen is clean, it’s hard to ensure that other men won’t bring women with them.

“Fine.” Su Wanwan wasn’t the kind of woman to make a fuss for no reason, “Less socializing in the future, why earn so much money? Just enough to spend is fine.”

“Baby is worrying for hubby”

Su Wanwan snorted, “Go take a shower, you stink! Without a proper bath, don’t even think about getting in my bed.” After saying that, she started to turn around but her hand was grabbed.

“Together.”

Su Wanwan was speechless, “I’ve already bathed, you wash yourself.”

Huo Jingshen directly picked her up with one arm across her waist, “Then help hubby with a shoulder massage.”

“I don’t want to, massage your sister…” Su Wanwan struggled vehemently.

Inadvertently, the knot of her bath towel came undone.

Huo Jingshen’s eyes darkened.

Su Wanwan scrambled with her bath towel, “You rogue! You did that on purpose, right?”

What socializing?

What drinking?

He was clearly purposely abstaining from drinking and pretending to be crazy to have his way with her!

These past few nights she hadn’t been spared his harassment, nearly every day he wanted it, and he always shamelessly refused to wear a condom, it was simply…

Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.

Thankfully, in a few days, she was going to start working for the Gu Family, so she would spend less time at home.

Thank goodness, otherwise she would be dragged into doing that kind of thing every day.

She had heard that condoms aren’t 100% safe, and with his frequency, an accident was bound to happen…

Lost in her chaotic thoughts, Su Wanwan snapped back to reality only to find that she had been carried into the bathroom.

No choice, the enemy was too strong…

**

After a satisfying meal, a certain someone became even more gentle and patient.

After carrying Su Wanwan and showering her again, Huo Jingshen carried her back to the large bed in the bedroom.

All the lights were turned off, leaving only a projector light in front of the TV cabinet.

Projected onto the ceiling were patterns resembling stars in the night sky, slowly changing with the projector…

It was tranquil and peaceful.

Huo Jingshen looked up, “When did you buy this?”

Su Wanwan was almost asleep when she heard the question and lifted her head.

Then her eyes turned red.

Huo Jingshen didn’t hear a response and looked down at her, “Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

Actually, she wasn’t crying.

“`

Her little mouth pouted, eyes red, she looked both aggrieved and resentful… the picture of pitifulness.

When she heard his voice, she looked at him with accusatory eyes, “This was a gift from Weiyi.”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

Alright.

It was his fault for talking too much, he shouldn’t have brought it up.

From now on, he shouldn’t mention any strange new additions to the house!

But it was too late.

“Didn’t you say you’d have a friend check on Weiyi’s whereabouts? Have you checked? How is it going? It’s been over a month now, is your friend even competent?”

Huo Jingshen cleared his throat twice, “Fu Xihan’s men are on it.”

“Him?” Su Wanwan pouted, “If he’s not up to it, then find someone else. Surely he isn’t your only friend, right?”

Huo Jingshen said, “Don’t worry, he has a wide network. No news right now is good news.”

Su Wanwan, who studied journalism and communication, naturally understood the reasoning behind this statement, but still…

“From childhood to adulthood, Weiyi hardly ever traveled far. I remember just once, I think she was only 14, she ran off to Seattle alone to find Xiao Yebai… I only found out about that later, and it nearly scared me to death. But besides that one time, she really almost never traveled far, and even if she did go somewhere, she would be with Xiao Yebai…”

“This time she’s with a bodyguard, so you can relax.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

How could she possibly relax?

Huo Jingshen explained, “This Rong An isn’t an ordinary bodyguard, he’s a computer expert and a very famous international hacker, which is why every time we track their whereabouts, the information gets wiped out very quickly.”

This was also why Xiao Yebai had been unable to find them.

Of course, besides that, Huo Jingshen always felt that someone else was helping Mo Weiyi.

Because the information sent by Fu Xihan’s men was that Mo Weiyi and Rong An seemed to be using pseudonyms…

“So Weiyi doesn’t want us to find her, is that it?” Su Wanwan asked.

“It’s not that she doesn’t want you to find her, she doesn’t want Xiao Yebai to find her.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan pursed her lips, “Now that Weiyi has left, Xiao Yebai must be over the moon. Why would he bother looking for her?”

Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, “Is that so?”

“Of course!” Su Wanwan stated confidently, “No one’s nagging him all day long anymore. Plus, Weiyi even exposed his identity as the son of the Mo Family. Haven’t you seen on TV that they call him the youngest business prodigy in Nancheng? He’s riding high, probably there will be other women soon…”

Hearing this, Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow but showed no reaction.

As for the person they were discussing…

“Young Master Xiao, it’s getting late, it’s time to rest.”

In the Lishui Bay Villa, Aunt Zhou couldn’t help but speak out as a reminder.

In the brightly lit living room, Xiao Yebai had been sitting on the sofa watching TV since he came back.

What played was a noisy Korean drama…

Aunt Zhou remembered, this seemed to be the Little Princess’s favorite drama, called something like 1988.

But Young Master Xiao never watched dramas. He was always out early and back late, and even when he was home, he would be busy with work in the study. So why was he suddenly watching this tonight?

Not only watching, but he had also been watching until now, and it was nearly midnight…

“Young Master Xiao?” Aunt Zhou couldn’t help but speak again, “You should rest now, it’s already midnight…”

“I know,” Xiao Yebai interrupted her before getting up to go upstairs.

Aunt Zhou didn’t think much of it. She went over to turn off the TV, then turned off the lights and went back to her room to sleep.

**

On the stairs, Xiao Yebai’s gaze was steady; he slowly ascended to the second floor.

The lights were off, and the TV downstairs was quickly turned off, restoring complete silence in the surroundings.

In the dimly lit room, Xiao Yebai walked slowly to the master bedroom in his slippers, pushed open the door, entered, and then heavily collapsed onto the bed.

Head bowed, he turned onto his side, and his prominent nose slowly rubbed against the bed.

The familiar scent was inhaled into his nostrils, and the inner noise seemed to slowly return to tranquility.

…

He didn’t know how much time had passed when his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

His field of vision was filled with darkness.

After a few seconds of emotional fluctuation, Xiao Yebai quickly reached out habitually to touch the side of the bed, trying to find his phone.

But he grasped at nothing.

He sat up from the bed and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.

The clock showed that it was 2:20 in the morning.

Then he remembered that his phone was probably left on the sofa downstairs; he had forgotten to take it when he came up earlier.

Xiao Yebai got out of bed and went downstairs.

…

Aunt Zhou slept in a daze but suddenly heard noises outside.

Old age brings light sleep.

Having had quite a few similar experiences, she wasn’t surprised; she simply got up from bed quickly.

Sure enough, when Aunt Zhou wrapped herself in her clothes and reached the living room, she saw Xiao Yebai sitting on the sofa, with the drawers under the coffee table all opened. He was rummaging through them, seemingly looking for something.

“Young Master Xiao?”

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yebai’s movements immediately ceased.

“Young Master Xiao, what are you looking for?” Aunt Zhou asked.

Xiao Yebai drew his fingers back and stood up, then he slowly turned his head to look at her.

A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes—pitch black, profound, yet cold and undisturbed.

“…” Aunt Zhou simply watched him, silent.

A few seconds later, Xiao Yebai walked back upstairs.

Aunt Zhou shook her head.

It seemed that Young Master Xiao was sleepwalking again…

In fact, this was not the first time she had seen this.

When she had just been transferred here to help out, once Young Master Xiao had a falling out with the Little Princess, who had angrily moved to the school to live in a dormitory. That night, Young Master Xiao sleepwalked, and she happened to encounter him.

The first time, Aunt Zhou was somewhat frightened.

Because she had heard that sleepwalkers were not fully conscious and might do terrifying things they wouldn’t normally do…

But now, Aunt Zhou had grown accustomed to it…

As long as there was no danger, let Young Master Xiao sleepwalk if he wished, because aside from sleepwalking and occasionally spacing out, his demeanor was quite normal.

Especially during the day, he would wake up on time as usual, eat breakfast she prepared, then go off to work at the company…

Regular and diligent!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard again.

Aunt Zhou turned around and saw Xiao Yebai coming back down the stairs. He went to the sofa, gave it a glance, then picked up his phone.

Aunt Zhou: “…”

As the man went back upstairs, phone in hand, she walked over, tucked the opened drawers back in, tidied up the scattered items on top, then turned and went back to her room.
