Xing Bi peeked her head out of her room and found Nian casually seated on the couch with his fingers tapping on his phone. She cleared her throat and stepped out fully dressed, albeit her face still red with embarrassment from Nian's kiss. She kept her distance from Nian as she walked towards him.
Which made Nian lift his gaze and cock his brow with interest. "Why are you walking so farther away from me?"
"So that you don't get to do w-what you did inside!"
"What did I do?"
She glared at him. "Don't feign ignorance!"
"No, I am seriously asking about my crime, my dear because clearly, what I did in your dictionary and my dictionary is different."
She gasped at his shamelessness. "Y-you k-kissed me, you pervert!"
He chuckled. "How can you call your future husband a pervert? Am I not simply romancing my wife?"
"..."
"And…" he leaned playfully. "I could have done lots of things with you and if I had, you wouldn't have been able to even bring yourself to show your face out of the duvet~"
She hugged herself and shuddered.
What has this pervert planned!?
Her mind couldn't help but wander off to all sorts of unspeakable things Nian might have done to her body with him pinning her on the top of the bed.
His muscular body, his naked chest, his beastly expression to eat her up and his gaze filled with passion…
No, no! I am definitely not drooling!
She shook her head furiously and widened the distance between them.
I won't let myself be swayed away by this brat!
"Were you thinking of something naughty, my dear?" Nian exposed her inner intentions.
"Absolutely not!"
"I don't mind stripping naked in front of you~"
"..."
She smiled with a hint of anger. "I hope you had your fill of food before coming here because you are not getting any dinner here!"
Nian smiled. "Right now, I am feeling a different type of appetite inside me," he winked.
The redness from her cheeks traveled all the way to her neck at his shameless declaration.
He patted the space beside him on the couch with his palm and said, "Come sit here."
"As if I will after knowing your true intentions!"
"They were always my true intentions, but you were safe till now right?" He smirked.
"S-shut up!"
"Come on, sit already~ I want to show you something interesting."
Xing Bi cast him a suspicious stare. In the end, she did sit on the couch but kept her distance from him yet again.
Nian chuckled. "How can I show you if you are so far away?"
"Say whatever you want like this only!" She folded her arms and harrumphed.
I won't get fooled by your tricks again.
Nian sighed. "I thought I could show you some info on Sun Bai but…"
"Wait, Miss. Sun?" That instantly caught her attention. "What is it about her?"
"Something about her and Lu Bohai but such a bummer you are so far away to show you."
"...You can just tell me like this."
"It will be inconvenient."
Taking advantage of the information you hold! Shameless man!
Xing Bi grudgingly lessened the distance between them.
Nian pouted. "There is still an arms-length of distance between us. Super inconvenient."
She threw him another deadly glare but scooted closer to him once again helplessly. "This is fine."
"Nope. Still inconvenient to read."
"Liu Nian y-you-"
"Either agree to properly sit beside me or I will make you sit on my lap. Your choice."
"..."
"You are th-threatening me?"
"Pretty much," he shrugged.
Xing Bi jolted with the seriousness of him really carrying out his threat, so she promptly sat beside him without arguing any further.
"Tch. You should have resisted more so I could have brought you on my lap," he lamented.
"J-Just show me what you got!" It seemed as though she had exclaimed loudly but in reality, her voice was too hoarse to hear.
Nian chuckled with satisfaction and showed her the picture of a man she never saw before.
She frowned. "Who is this? Though he seems similar to…"
"Lu Bohai. He is his elder brother Lu Yin who died in an accident before."
"His elder brother as in the one with whom Miss. Sun was in a relationship, right?"
"Yup."
"I see. What about him?"
"It wasn't an accident."
She widened her eyes, stunned. "Not an accident? But here it says…that he died when he accidentally fell on a railway track in a subway when the train was coming."
"Somebody actually pushed him. So it wasn't an accident."
"Th-that's horrible! Who would kill him like that?"
"His own brother."
"Lu Bohai!?"
He nodded. "Lu Bohai and Lu Yin never had a good relationship and more so after Lu Yin started dating Sun Bai. Lu Yin later died by falling on the railway tracks. But he was actually pushed off. The subway was crowded so it was easy to feign a push in the wrong direction. I am pretty sure Lu Bohai liked Sun Bai too and killed him out of jealousy."
Xing Bi's heart was filled with rage.
"Miss. Sun…she lost someone so precious to him because of this murderer!" She glanced at him and asked, "But she should have broken all contact with Lu Bohai after Lu Yin passed away. Not like they had any good relationship either so why would she keep meeting him?"
"Because somewhere she also believes that his death wasn't an accident so she isn't cutting off all contact. There might be some other reason too. But right now, she isn't seemingly holding any pure intentions towards Sky."
She straightened up. "Is this about…"
"I read your chat with Hou Lin. Something about Sun Bai downloading some files to her personal device. I called Jun but he seemed to be busy so then I called Yunru and asked him to check. Sun Bai wasn't downloading just any files. She stored some story drafts into her device particularly belonging to Ai."
