Chapter 4023: The Genius t.i.tle is Exaggerated (3)

Preoccupied with thoughts about her sister Huo Mian, Lu Yan wasn’t in the mood to take food from An.

As she turned the wheel on her watch, she gestured to him with her forefinger that she didn’t want to eat.

Then she walked out, leaving An standing where he was.

He put the roast sweet potato back into his pocket carefully, keeping it warm for Lu Yan in case she’d get hungry later.

An’s gesture was endearing, but it did nothing to ease Lu Yan’s mind right now.

All kinds of thoughts and feelings swirled in Qin Chu’s mind; he had been like this ever since Huo Mian left.

At Sky Blessing Court.

Zhixin was a deep sleeper and could sleep through a thunderstorm.

But Bella was a light sleeper; besides, she was more alert after Huo Mian and Qin Chu told her to be watchful.

At midnight, she was woken up by a strange sound.

Turning on the flashlight on her cellphone, she walked downstairs in her pajamas.

Yang Meirong and Jing De’s room was on the first floor.

The moment Bella got to the first floor, she b.u.mped into Yang Meirong who was walking out of her room.

“Mom, how come you’re out, too…?”

“Did you hear that strange sound, too?” Yang Meirong looked at Bella in terror.

Bella nodded and was a bit fearful.

“Mom, what was it?”

“I don’t know. It seemed to have come from the kitchen…”

Mustering their courage, they walked toward the kitchen cautiously.

Before they reached it, a cold voice came from behind them.

“What are you doing?”

They looked back together and saw Jing De walk out from the bedroom.

His expression was gloomy with sullen eyes.

“De, didn’t you hear that strange sound?”

“Do you mean the birds I bought during the day?”

“Birds?” Yang Meirong was surprised.

“Yeah, I bought several birds from the market and plan to give them to Pudding and Little Bean.”

Jing De’s face and voice were still cold; one couldn’t see any kindness from his face.

“I see. Then it must have been the sound from the birds. I thought a thief broke in…”

Believing Jing De’s words, Yang Meirong walked back.

Resigned, Bella had to turn back and go upstairs.

“Bella, go back to bed. You and Zhixin need to go to work tomorrow,” Yang Meirong instructed her daughter-in-law.

“Okay. You go back to bed, too, Mom.”

As Bella walked upstairs, she glanced back at the kitchen with a weird feeling in her heart.

She didn’t think it was a sound from a bird; it sounded shrill.

Now that her mother-in-law had believed that guy’s words, she could do nothing about it.

It seemed Sister Mian and President Qin were right; this guy wasn’t what he was pretending to be, and she must watch him closely.

Yang Meirong and Jing De returned to their bedroom and fell asleep again.

At two o’clock in the morning, Jing De walked into the kitchen stealthily and no one knew what he did in there. But when he came out, he had blood on his lips and a creepy smile in his eyes…

Meanwhile, Huo Mian landed from a helicopter and then travelled on a mountainous path for a long time in an ORV.

During the b.u.mpy ride, she protected her belly carefully, fearing to hurt her baby.

Finally, the ORV drove slowly to a group of bamboo cottages and stopped in an open s.p.a.ce.

Zhao Qingya had been waiting for her. Today, she had purposefully put on a red long dress, looking seductive with heavy make-up.

When the car door opened and Huo Mian got out of the car slowly, Zhao Qingya chuckled smugly, “Whoa. Look who’s here. Tsk, tsk… Aren’t you our genius doctor?”
