Chapter 459: I’ll Give You a Chance to Explain
She scanned her surroundings and confirmed that no one else was paying attention to her.
Nan Miaomiao sneaked in and opened the suitcase.
Why was she acting like a thief?
She was just helping her friend get a bottle of medicine!
After entering CEO Pei’s tent, Nan Miaomiao first looked around. This was the first time she had seen the inside of their tent.
How magical! From the outside, it looked like an ordinary tent. She did not expect the space inside to be so big!
It wasn’t luxurious, but it was very clean.
The items were arranged neatly and orderly. All the supplies were for two people. A white thermos was placed next to a simple coffee cup. Beside it was a slender eyebrow pencil. The beanbag sofa was for Su Ji, and the bed and blanket were not for two people.
Nan Miaomiao envied those who could sleep in a tent every day.
However, she soon noticed the suitcase beside her.
At the same time, in the woods.
The leaves rustled, and half of the moonlight was blocked by the dense leaves above their heads. The fluorescent eyes of wild beasts in the bushes were brighter than the moon.
Su Ji raised her phone and studied a cluster of white mushrooms growing on the tree trunk.
The island received a lot of rain all year round and the climate was humid, which was very suitable for mushrooms to grow.
However, the cluster in front of her had poison.
“Actually, you don’t have to come with me. Your arm is broken, so you can’t help me carry anything…”
Before Su Ji could finish, Pei Huai grabbed her wrist. She turned around and her back hit a tree trunk. It hurt a little.
He pressed his lips onto hers, and his dark eyes blended into the night.
The air in Su Ji’s mouth was sucked out. Pei Huai used his healthy arm to push her lips up.
A pair of big fluorescent eyes popped out of the bush, and then another.
Spring had come, and the animals were learning.
“Did you eat the poisonous mushrooms? Someone might come…”
Su Ji finally pulled away, but before she could finish her sentence, Pei Huai kissed her again.
He had been controlling himself for many days.
The leaves of the tree Su Ji was leaning against rustled loudly. The night was cool but the atmosphere was hot and humid.
Su Ji relented, so she did not waste her energy on meaningless resistance.
After lingering for a while, Pei Huai pressed his palm against the tree trunk and lowered his face to look at her. Their foreheads touched.
His voice was low and hoarse. “Do you think I’m here to pick mushrooms with you?”
Su Ji seemed to have thought of something and lifted the bag in her hand. Inside were the edible mushrooms she picked along the way. The bag was placed between them and the mushrooms inside were crushed.
Seeing that his girlfriend was about to throw a tantrum, Pei Huai planted another kiss on her forehead as if he was comforting her. “We can make mushroom soup tomorrow morning.”
“Beep beep”
“Beep beep”
At this moment, Pei Huai’s phone rang.
Pei Huai calmly took out his phone from his trousers pocket. He glanced at it and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was a sin to disturb a couple.
The alarm in the tent was also ringing loudly. The sound was much louder than Pei Huai’s phone, immediately attracting the attention of the guests in the camp.
The guests surrounded the tent. Pei Huai, who rushed back, took a step forward and lifted the tent curtain.
What they saw at that moment was Nan Miaomiao clutching Su Ji’s suitcase. She was panicking and her hands were quickly searching for a way to turn off the alarm, but she happened to be fiddling with the bag of pebbles!
Everyone:
Li Shuguo said, “Miaomiao, why are you in CEO Pei’s tent?”
Jiang Cuiqin said, “you even opened Su Ji’s luggage. What are you doing?”
Nan Miaomiao had yet to react. When she saw Su Ji coming over, she hurriedly called out to her, “roommate, quickly help me turn off the alarm!”
As soon as she found Su Ji’s suitcase, she tried the password. Sure enough, it was the same as the initial password. It opened easily, but in the next second, an ear-piercing alarm rang, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
Su Ji walked to her side and squatted down. She opened the inner lining of the suitcase and pressed a button. The alarm turned off and the surroundings finally quieted down.
Nan Miaomiao patted her chest guiltily. “You scared me. Why did you put an alarm in the suitcase?”
This time, Su Ji did not speak. The tall man outside the tent said in a low voice, “to guard against thieves.”
Nan Miaomiao’s pupils constricted, and she quickly turned to look at Pei Huai.
Only then did she realize that not only Pei Huai, but all the guests outside the tent were staring at her with a very strange gaze.
Cao Zhuzhu did not watch the previous episodes, so she did not know what they were talking about, but she had an idea.
Lu Shang’s expression was solemn.
Nan Miaomiao panicked. She sat down on the ground, her hand propped up on the side. She pressed on something hard. It was the bag of pebbles..
Casar narrowed his eyes, and Xiao Ken’s expression was filled with disgust. He said, “Ms. Nan, so it’s really you. I knew that Lu Shang was protecting you last time! I should have been more alert when you asked me where Su Ji went. Fortunately, there was an alarm. Otherwise, you would have destroyed the evidence!”
Hearing that, Nan Miaomiao seemed to have finally realized something. She threw the bag of evidence to the side. “Why are you looking at me like that? You don’t think I’m here for this, do you?
At this moment, Nan Miaomiao thought to herself that it was over.
She had gone against Su Ji in public several times before, so when this incident happened, people immediately suspected her.
More importantly, even she could not think of anyone else who would do that.
“Ms. Nan, ” Casar looked down at her condescendingly. “What’s your explanation?”
“I…” Nan Miaomiao turned around and met Su Ji’s eyes.
Su Yi looked at her and said slowly, “I’ll give you a chance to explain.”
Nan Miaomiao shook her arm gratefully. “Roommate, believe me. I’m not here to destroy any evidence. I’m here to borrow your medicine! No, it wasn’t borrowing, I was going to pay you back later!”
Ji Xi looked at her. “Are you hurt?”
Nan Miaomiao waved her hand. “It wasn’t me. It was Sonya! She had a big bruise on her hand from making the hemp rope today!”
Wang Yi said, “it’s just a bruise. It’s not something that requires first aid. Why don’t you wait for her to come back before asking her for it? Entering someone else’s tent without permission and opening their suitcase was indeed too suspicious.”
Nan Miaomiao explained, “Sonya’s hand was hurt so badly that she couldn’t even speak. I was afraid that her wound was infected, but Xiao Ken said that Su Ji wouldn’t be back for another hour. I couldn’t wait any longer, so…”
She thought it would be okay if she told the truth. After all, if it were anyone else, they would have done the same thing.
However, even though she spoke so sincerely, the guests did not have much of a reaction.
Nan Miaomiao was confused, but then she saw Sonya looking into the tent with concern. “Miaomiao? What’s going on?”
Most importantly, Sonya’s hand had already recovered.. Although she looked anxious, she looked very relaxed, completely different from the way she was sweating from the pain just now…
