Ah! Ah! Ah!

This must be an illusion, the person in the video was not her.

She had dozed off yesterday after getting drunk and did not do anything…

Feeling parched and guilty, Zheng Yan switched off the computer, flustered.

Before she could return to her senses, she heard someone knocking on the door.

The butler’s voice came from outside the door, “Missy, Miss Nian is here.”

Bam—!

When she heard that Nian Xiaomu had arrived, Zheng Yan stood up from her chair and in her haste, she knocked against the table. It was so painful that her face turned ashen.

She quickly recovered and instructed the butler. “Do not allow her to come in here. Serve her some tea and get her to wait for me in the living room. I’ll be there in a short while!”

As she spoke, she reached out to turn on the computer. Her heart was throbbing frantically and she was just about to copy the screenshots she had captured onto the USB drive when she heard the butler’s reply.

“But Miss Nian is already here.”

“…”!!

Zheng Yan was so terrified that she almost jumped but she quickly recalled that she had locked the door.

No one was able to enter the room.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she hastily closed the footage on the computer and arranged the photographs. When she was sure that everything was in order, she reached out to turn off the computer.

She patted her cheeks and made sure that nothing on her face would give her away before she walked to the door of the study room and opened it.

The moment the door opened, Nian Xiaomu stepped past the butler and entered the room.

She brushed past Zheng Yan without looking at her. Her eyes darted left and right around the room as though she was a police dog but she did not see anyone else. She started sniffing…

“Xiao Mumu, what are you up to? You’re behaving like a dog.” Zheng Yan stood at the door and stared at her, bewildered.

Nian Xiaomu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.

“The cheek of you to question me. What were you up to in the study room just now? You seem like you have a guilty conscience and you certainly took your time to open the door. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that you were hiding a man in here and did not want to be caught. I wanted to take a look for myself…”

“…”

Zheng Yan was not hiding a man in the study room—she was hiding a man in her computer.

And it was something not suitable for the young.

The moment she recalled the footage she had just seen, Zheng Yan’s face flushed instantly.

“Oh my, I was just kidding. Look at how red your face is, are you really hiding a man in the study room?”

Nian Xiaomu’s eyes lit up and she turned to walk towards the bookshelf.

She had searched the entire room, even behind the curtains.

There was no one.

So why was Zheng Yan so shy?

And she was shy with a guilty conscience.

Something was amiss…

“Okay, stop this nonsense. There’s nobody in my study room. What would you like to drink? How about some fruit juice?” Seeing that there was no objection coming from her, Zheng Yan turned to instruct the butler to get a glass of fruit juice.

She was just about to pass the USB drive to Nian Xiaomu when Nian Xiaomu suddenly pounced on her as a cat would pounce on its prey—a mouse.

Zheng Yan was so startled that she staggered backward, still holding the USB drive in her hand.

Her back came into contact with the door frame just as Nian Xiaomu reached out to grab her collar open.

“This is indeed a hickey…” Nian Xiaomu saw the mark on her neck clearly and her mouth gaped in shock.

Her eyes widened and she wanted to continue inspecting Zheng Yan’s chest.

“Xiao Mumu!”

Zheng Yan snapped to her senses. She quickly placed her hands in front of her chest and turned around nervously.

“What are you doing, why are you groping me? I like men. Even if you were to seduce me, I wouldn’t be tempted by you!”

Zheng Yan tried to make a joke so she could change the topic.
