Qiu Tong felt her body heat up, even her breathing was hot.
Jin Yang’s fingers seemed to be playing a melody on her skin. Qiu Tong had no choice but to obey.
She hooked her arms around Jin Yang’s shoulders and wrapped her slender legs around his waist.
Jin Yang panted heavily. Just as he was about to enter her, someone knocked on the door.
Qiu Tong’s eyes instantly cleared up and the heated atmosphere was interrupted. Chen Jia’s voice came from outside. “Brother Yang, there seems to be a problem with the air conditioning in my room. Can you help me take a look?”
Jin Yang took a deep breath. Seeing that Chen Jia had no intention of leaving, Qiu Tong raised her leg and kicked Jin Yang’s waist.
She looked at Jin Yang with a dark expression. “Hurry up and help your Chen Jia.”
Qiu Tong walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
Jin Yang scratched his head in frustration. He walked to the door in his pajamas. When Chen Jia saw him, her eyes were filled with surprise. “Am I disturbing you?”
In the bathroom, Qiu Tong listened to their conversation. She was so angry that her scalp went numb. She wished she could go out and expose Chen Jia’s fake identity.
Jin Yang closed the door gently and Chen Jia stole a glance inside.
The messy bed sheets and the scent of love in the air were difficult to conceal. Qiu Tong’s kiss mark was still on Jin Yang’s neck.
Chen Jia narrowed her eyes silently and followed Jin Yang closely. In a light voice, she said, “I think Miss Qiu seems to hate me very much. Did I do something wrong? If I am causing trouble in your lives, I can find a place to move out tomorrow.”
“It’s alright with Uncle Jin Tao. Don’t worry, I’ll explain on your behalf.”
Chen Jia lowered her head as she said those words. Jin Yang called Ke Le and the other mercenaries over. They went to Chen Jia’s room to check the air conditioner and found that it was just that the remote control did not have a battery. Ke Le stared at Chen Jia with a meaningful look. “It’s just a small matter. There’s a brand new battery in the drawer.”
“Even if you can’t handle it yourself, you can ask us for help. You don’t have to bother Boss and the rest, right?”
Ke Le’s tone was filled with annoyance. Chen Jia tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously. She bit her lips and didn’t answer.
Jin Yang shook his head at Ke Le and left after giving Chen Jia a few instructions. When he returned to Qiu Tong’s room, he realized that the door had been locked from the inside. He knocked on the door several times but did not hear any reply. A pillow and blanket had been thrown in the corridor. Jin Yang sighed and carried his things to the guest room next door. He took out his phone and sent a message to Qiu Tong, but she did not reply.
Late at night, Qiu Tong stared at her phone screen several times. She flipped open her laptop in frustration.
The information found on the phone in the hotel had been recovered and sorted out. Qiu Tong checked the details sent to her.
The program designed by Qiu Xingyu had indeed recorded the contents of the calls for about 10 seconds. The voice changer made the conversation difficult to hear. Qiu Tong turned the volume to the maximum and could vaguely hear him say, “There’s been a change in the plan. We can’t let them know.”
Qiu Tong’s thoughts were in a mess. She grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled on it.
Who were they? What did they know?
Ye Luan could shed light on many of the questions, but Qiu Tong didn’t want to force him, so the situation was in a stalemate…
That night, Qiu Tong stared at the ceiling. She slept for a few hours before the sun rose outside the window.
At nine in the morning, Qiu Tong walked out of the room looking exhausted. She planned to make a nutritious breakfast for the children. When she reached the kitchen door, she saw that Chen Jia was already busy inside. There were egg tarts and butter cake in the electric oven, and a nutritious porridge was cooking in the pot. Chen Jia even made jam and cheese sandwiches, completely upgrading the family’s breakfast.
Qiu Tong stood at the entrance, silently watching her.
Cheng Jia heard some noise and turned. She gave a brilliant smile. Ms Qiu, you are up?”
“I was just about to wake you all up. I didn’t know if you guys liked Chinese or Western breakfast, so I prepared a bit of each.”
Qiu Tong frowned as she watched her carrying out the hot milk.
Chen Jia noticed her gaze and smiled. Her eyes were filled with lingering affection as she said, “Brother Yang has a sensitive stomach. If he doesn’t drink some warm milk for breakfast, he’ll suffer from stomach pains the rest of the day. This is specially prepared for him. If you like, I can make you another cup.”
Chen Jia opened the drawer and found the cheese and jam.
Qiu Tong asked in a low and hoarse voice, “How did you know those things were there?”
Chen Jia paused for a moment. “Because I have the same habit. In the past, I liked to keep random things in the second drawer. I forgot that this is your home. I didn’t expect our habits to be so similar.” Her seemingly casual words reminded Qiu Tong of Jin Yang’s familiarity with the kitchen.
With so many clues and coincidences pieced together, it was inevitable that Qiu Tong would come to certain conclusions.
Jin Yang came out of the guest room and hugged Qiu Tong by the waist. “Can you let me return to your room tonight?”
“The guest room next door is very cold. I can’t sleep without you.”
Jin Yang spoke those sweet words in an especially natural manner, not caring that there was another person in the kitchen.
Hearing their conversation, Chen Jia’s fingers instantly turned red when they touched the edge of the milk pot.
