Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Leave in Time
Soon, he pressed down hard on Li Yanling’s body.
Li Yanling couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
But she quickly realized that they were in her own home, and it would be disastrous if someone overheard them, so she also lowered her voice slightly, trying her best not to make any noise.
However, Liu Zheng didn’t stay still, constantly touching her all over.
She said with feigned annoyance,
"Stop it, what are you doing? Weren’t we supposed to sleep? With you moving around so much, I can’t fall asleep at all."
After she said this, Liu Zheng just smiled and whispered in her ear,
"Really? Don’t you like it? If you don’t like it, then I’ll stop moving."
Once Li Yanling heard this, she immediately burrowed into the quilt, feeling embarrassed.
"Hey, why would you ask me that..."
Soon, neither of them could hold back.
In the midst of their passionate encounter, both finally drifted off into a deep sleep.
But unexpectedly, when Li Yanling opened her eyes the next day, a knocking sound at the door rang out the next second.
As she prepared to get up, she realized that there was a big man still sleeping beside her.
Liu Zheng had overslept and hadn’t had the chance to leave.
Seeing this scene, she naturally became very nervous. She had never imagined such a situation would occur. Her mind was in a flurry, thinking that it must be the elders at the door, and mainly worried about what to do if they were discovered.
She quickly shook Liu Zheng awake and asked in a low voice,
"Why didn’t you leave?"
Upon hearing her words, Liu Zheng finally woke up from his drowsiness.
As he opened his eyes, he was still somewhat baffled, not quite sure where he was.
But when he saw Li Yanling’s face, he instantly came to his senses and realized he had never expected to be here.
"Oh no, I’ve overslept."
At that moment, he finally understood the situation.
And just then, the voice of the elder from outside the door rose,
"It’s already this early, why haven’t you gotten up to cook yet? How much longer are you going to sleep?"
She said this while knocking on the door.
Li Yanling replied hurriedly,
"Okay, okay, I’ll get up now; just wait a moment."
Liu Zheng also promptly got up from the bed with a jerk.
But when he was about to escape through the window, he found that it was already busy with people coming and going outside, and leaving at this time would definitely be noticed.
With a helpless face, he pointed out the window,
Li Yanling, upon seeing this, could easily understand what he was trying to say. Faced with this situation, she indeed felt somewhat helpless.
"How much longer will you be? I need to get something, why are you locking the door?"
Hearing these words, the hearts of both of them naturally began to beat faster, almost jumping out of their throats.
In that moment, Liu Zheng also lowered his voice and asked,
"So what should we do now?"
"Forget it, just hide in the wardrobe for now."
Looking at it now, aside from this place to hide for a moment, there really was no other place to hide.
Liu Zheng was indeed feeling very uncomfortable.
He had slept so soundly last night, mainly because the beauty was in his arms—how could he possibly not have slept well?
And he quickly ducked into the closet.
The people outside continued to urge impatiently.
"What on earth are you doing? Why have you taken so long to open the door? I need to get something, you wretched woman, how much longer will you drag this out?"
At that moment, Li Yanling straightened up the sheets a bit in front of her, then went to open the door.
She deliberately pretended to have just woken up and said,
"Sorry, I really did sleep a bit too long, maybe because I caught a chill from the breeze last night, I’m feeling a bit under the weather."
After hearing this, the elder looked at her with half-belief and half-doubt and did not go inside.
How could she not be afraid at this moment?
After all, such an incident had occurred, taking everyone by surprise.
Now, with the elder looking at her with such a strange gaze, she was very worried, afraid the elder might have noticed something—after all, the elder had lived so many years and certainly had much more experience than her.
Seeing the elder continue to gaze at her with such an odd expression, Li Yanling could barely hold back and thus finally asked,
"What’s wrong? Is there something on my face? Weren’t you going to go in and get something?"
At this very moment, Liu Zheng, through the slit of the closet door, could see the scene outside fairly clearly.
Seeing this scene, how could he not worry?
He could not understand what the old lady meant by standing there for so long, and why she gazed at Li Yanling with such a look.
At this moment, his heart couldn’t help beating faster and faster—if in a moment his presence was detected, it would be dreadful.
So at this moment, he tried his best not to make any noise and was extremely cautious.
Until the elder finally spoke up.
"Didn’t you say you were sick? You seem to have a much better complexion today than in the past few days."
Startled by these words, Li Yanling opened her mouth, unsure of how exactly to reply.
After being refreshed through the night, her complexion was certainly rosy.
After a good while, she replied with a forced smile,
"Perhaps it’s because I got a good night’s sleep last night, although I still have a bit of a headache now."
The elder, upon hearing this, did not press on but instead went into the room to look for something.
Unexpectedly, after rummaging through a nearby cupboard, she discovered that the things she was looking for were gone.
At this moment, unable to help herself, she raised her hand to lightly scratch the back of her head, and after looking around the room, she spoke,
"Didn’t I put it in this cupboard before? How come it’s gone?"
Quickly, Li Yanling approached her and asked,
"What’s wrong? What are you looking for? I can help you search."
Without saying anything, she immediately went to the side of the closet.
Seeing this, Li Yanling’s heart was already in her throat.
And at that moment, Liu Zheng inside the closet, peering through the door slit, could also see the scene outside; how could he not be anxious?
Just as the elder was about to raise her hand to open the closet door.
