Chapter 553: Someone Is Inside the Room (1)

Su He sucked in a cold breath and reflexively wanted to scream. However, the person inside the wardrobe had predicted this and quickly covered her mouth first.

The lighting was dim inside the wardrobe. At first, Su He did not have a good glimpse of the person’s actual face inside the wardrobe. When he leaned out and covered her mouth. Su He finally saw his face clearly.

Su He’s pupils shrank. She looked incredulously at the person who was not supposed to appear here.

“It’s me. Don’t shout.” Ye Yan’s deep and attractive voice rang out, and it snapped Su He out of her daze. At the same time, she was once again convinced that the person in front of her was not a hallucination!

When Ye Yan noticed that Su He was no longer as terrified and shocked as she was in the beginning, he hesitated for a while before he asked quietly, “I’ll let go of you now. Don’t scream, okay?”

Su He blinked. She pondered it over for a brief moment before she gave a nod. Only then did Ye Yan slowly pull his hand away from Su He’s mouth.

As soon as Ye Yan pulled his hand away, Su He reflexively took two steps back. The next moment, she looked like she remembered something. She turned her head around and looked at the tightly shut door. When she was convinced that her scream had not attracted the attention of the people downstairs, she silently heaved a sigh of relief.

Ye Yan saw each and every one of Su He’s moves. He knew that no matter how Su He covered herself up on the surface, she actually still cared very much about him. Otherwise, she would not show concern for him if his appearance would be exposed at this moment.

Subconscious actions always revealed a person’s thoughts.

At that moment, Su He did not realize that her actions had revealed her innermost thoughts. By the time she shifted her attention away from the door, only then did she remember her current state. Her heart clenched, and she instinctively retreated.

Su He’s mind descended into a storm because of Ye Yan’s sudden appearance. As such, Su He did not notice her heel slowly slipping into the rug, and the decorations on top of her slippers had hooked onto the rug’s edge. As a result, when Su He took her steps back, she lost her balance and fell backward.

“Be careful!” Ye Yan’s expression changed. He scurried out of the wardrobe, stretched out his hand, and pulled the falling Su He into his arms.

The accident happened all of a sudden and caught the two off guard. Ye Yan gave everything he had to protect Su He in his arms.

A dull thud rang, and they fell on the rug. Ye Yan’s back landed on the floor, but Su He was protected in his arms.

Thankfully, the rug was very soft. Ye Yan did not feel too much pain. After the initial shock, Ye Yan quickly looked down at the person in his arms and asked anxiously, “Did you hurt yourself?”

Su He was still trapped in the lingering shock of the sudden fall. She snapped out of her trance when she heard Ye Yan’s words and said in embarrassment, “I’m fine. Could you please let go of me now?”

Ye Yan sized Su He up. When he was convinced that she was not hurt, only then did he carefully help her to sit down and reluctantly let go of her.

Su He moved to the side right away. She was so embarrassed that she did not dare to look Ye Yan in the eyes. She then simply looked for a topic to talk about. “What brought you here? Besides…” Why did he appear inside her room’s wardrobe?

Ye Yan found it hard to answer Su He’s first question.

Originally, Ye Yan had intended to take a look at Su He and then leave quietly once he was assured that she was safe and sound.

However, just when Ye Yan was about to leave after seeing her, only then did he realize a very serious matter. The reason he was able to enter the Su family mansion so smoothly and find Su He’s room was entirely because of Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin.

But by the time Ye Yan saw Su He from a close distance, the two had already departed. How was he going to find them and ask them to return and bring him out?

The mighty President Ye had always thought things through carefully and meticulously. He only wanted to see Su He once inside the Su family’s home. As a result, he had devised a series of infiltration strategies but had neglected to devise a means of escape.

As the saying went, love was something that could lower one’s level of intelligence. Even someone as meticulous as Ye Yan was no exception.

However, how could he simply tell such embarrassing things to others? Especially not to the woman whom he cared about. If he told her this, her impression of him would be greatly affected!

Just as Ye Yan was debating how to respond to Su He’s question in order to keep his good impression in her heart, someone suddenly knocked on Su He’s door.

The two people inside the room were caught by surprise. Su He was the first to react to this. She shouted stiffly at the door, “Who… Who’s there?”

A response soon came from the outside of the room, “Xiao Qi, it’s me, Jifeng.”

When Su He and Ye Yan heard Su Jifeng’s voice, their hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

“Urm… Jifeng, what do you want? I-I am going to take a shower.”

“I came to deliver something to you. Xiao Qi, open the door for me, will you? Xiao Qi?”

“Oh, Jifeng, please wait for a while. I’m coming.” Su He knew her older brother’s temperament well. She naturally knew that it was not easy to change his mind once he had made a decision. It would not work if she refused to let him enter. Therefore, she quickly voiced out to hold Su Jifeng back while turning her head around and looked at Ye Yan, “Jifeng is here. Hide yourself now!”

As Su He was saying this, she quickly surveyed her room and realized that the only place to hide Ye Yan besides the wardrobe was…

“Jifeng, why are you here?” Su He forced a smile as she opened her room door and saw Su Jifeng waiting outside.

Su Jifeng looked past Su He and discreetly took a look at her room. He then smiled faintly. “I noticed that you didn’t eat anything today except breakfast. Therefore, I had the kitchen helper prepare a bowl of your favorite tremella lotus seed soup. You could have it before going to bed.”

Su He saw Su Jifeng holding a bowl of tremella lotus seed soup in his hand. She wanted to reach out for it, but Su Jifeng moved away from her.

“You are pregnant. It’s best for me to take it in for you.”

The smile on Su He’s face turned stiff. She smiled dryly and said, “N-No need. I’m not that frail.”

As Su He was saying this, she wanted to reach out for the bowl, but Su Jifeng moved away from her again.

Su Jifeng grinned as he looked at Su He. “Of course, I know you are not that frail. But I’d like to see you finish it myself. Or, perhaps, there’s something inside the room that I’m not supposed to see?”

“N-No!” Su He quickly refuted him. Right after she spoke, she realized that she had overreacted, which made her appear as if she was indeed hiding something in her room. She quickly added to rectify the situation. “I just feel… a little embarrassed.”

“What’s so embarrassing about it? It’s not like I have never been in your room before. Is there anything else that I have not seen before? Move aside and let me in..”
