Shen Luo’an words hid a deeper meaning.

As he spoke, he kept his eyes trained on Yu Lili. Just as quickly, he looked away.

When Old Mrs. Shen heard what Shen Luo’an said, she became displeased and said, “Both Lili and Ou Ming are my guests!”

“I know that.” Shen Luo’an answered matter-of-factly and stood up. “Have an early rest, Granny. It’s late.”

Before he even finished his sentence, he had already turned and headed inside.

Old Mrs. Shen harrumphed and held Yu Lili by her arm. She said, “Just ignore him. That guy has always been eccentric. It’s been so many years, and he’s never changed. Sigh, it’s all that girl’s fault...”

Yu Lili was about to hear the juicy part. She looked toward Old Mrs. Shen. With as much sensitivity as she could muster, she asked, “Who?”

“Who else can it be? It’s...” Old Mrs. Shen was about to reveal it when she suddenly cut herself off and said, “Well, this is an internal family matter. Knowing about it will just add to your troubles. Lili, would you like to take a bath?”

Since Old Mrs. Shen wasn’t willing to divulge it, Yu Lili didn’t probe further.

Hearing Granny Shen change the topic, Yu Lili nodded her head and replied, “Where is Ou Ming’s room? I’ll bathe over there.”

“Sure. Go ahead. Remember to come back when you’re done!” Old Mrs. Shen led her to the room that had been allocated to Ou Ming and reluctantly walked off.

Yu Lili knocked on the door to announce her presence and turned the doorknob. When she turned her hand, the knob wouldn’t budge. The door had been locked from the inside.

She knocked on the door and called out, “Hubby, are you inside? Open the door.”

There was no reply. Just as Yu Lili took her cell phone out and was about to call Ou Ming, the door opened.

No lights were switched on, and it was pitch dark inside.

Shen Luo’an’s face appeared behind the door. He looked at Yu Lili. As if suggesting he was interested, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Were you looking for me, Miss Wen?”

Yu Lili was caught off guard and instinctively took a step back. For some reason, every time she saw Shen Luo’an, she always felt as unexplainable sense of danger. But, she did not rush to leave either. She looked ahead into the darkness and asked, “Isn’t this the room that was allocated to Ou Ming? Where’s Ou Ming?”

Shen Luo’an almost smiled and answered lightly, “I have no idea whether or not Ou Ming was inside before. I’m the one inside right now. If you’d like to come in, I have no objections either.”

This statement was made slowly and frivolously.

Yu Lili’s brows creased together in revulsion, but the words from her mouth remained courteous as she said, “I’m sorry, I might have gotten the wrong room. I’ll leave now.”

“Would you like me to go with you, Miss Wen?” Shen Luo’an asked.

“No!” Yu Lili’s voice was a little sharp. Her revulsion toward him intensified. She immediately felt that her reaction had been excessive and said, “I’ll find my way on my own. Thank you, Mr. Shen.”

As Yu Lili spoke, she quickened her steps, eager to escape as soon as possible.

Shen Luo’an watched Yu Lili’s back as she retreated and let out a laugh. However, his eyes bore a sinister and ruthless expression.

He closed the door and headed back inside. Facing the darkness in front of him, he asked, “Am I very scary? Ou Ming’s wife seems to be a little scared of me. And, so do you.”

In the darkness, a lone figure was curled up at the corner of the bed watching as Shen Luo’an approached. The figure trembled and pursed her lips but didn’t make a sound.
