Chapter 89 He voluntarily slept with Yan Lingyu

Before Wu Yang could even process what was happening, his hand had already entered the numbers.

With a "click," the box opened.

"Brother Yu, how did you know?"

Wu Yang asked blankly.

"There was a scene in the story just now where a maid was carrying mooncakes."

Mooncakes correspond to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

"It's hidden so deep, never mind, let's see what's inside first."

Xiao Mushen reached inside and found a red candle. He looked it over twice.

Is this the first clue?

An Shixia said with absolute certainty, "No, light it and shine it on the bed."

The prop lamp has a slot for a match, just big enough to light a candle.

The narration started again.

The candlelight cast its dim glow on the bed, gradually revealing a line of text. What was it?

Suspenseful music followed immediately, carrying a hint of urgency.

The lights on the wall of the secret room suddenly illuminated the entire bed, and rows of text appeared in front of the group.

Young Master Yang said this was a gift he made himself, so I must keep it safe. Where can I hide it so it won't be discovered? I know, under the bed!

The plot continues step by step, suspenseful and terrifying. An Shixia keeps thinking, but her body remains clung to Yan Lingyu, never letting go.

Yan Lingyu kept his arm around her waist, secretly pleased. He didn't participate much in solving the mystery, only occasionally mentioning clues.

It took the group more than an hour to get through the checkpoint.

The sky outside was still bright, a stark contrast to the darkness inside the secret room. An Shixia quietly released Yan Lingyu: "Shall we go back?"

Yan Lingyu noticed her movements and felt a little regretful. He had hugged her for so long today and was reluctant to let her go.

"Aaaaaah!"

A scream suddenly came from the exit, and the group immediately covered their ears.

"Why does that voice sound so familiar..."

Xiao Mushen suddenly muttered something, then his gaze fell behind him, and he took a step back in fright: "My god, a ghost!"

An Shixia's heart tightened, and she clung to Yan Lingyu again: "What the hell?"

"There's no ghost, it's the woman who was following us just now."

Shen Tongtong was very brave. She stared at the "ghost" for a long time before she could figure out who it was.

An Shixia immediately looked over.

Zhou Xuerou, who had just been dressed in haute couture, was now lying on the ground with her hair disheveled, and there were two red handprints on her white dress, a stark contrast to her previous appearance.

"Ahhh! Young Master Yan, help! There's a ghost!"

Zhou Xuerou let out a sharp scream and crawled towards Yan Lingyu.

She searched the haunted house for over an hour but encountered nothing but ghosts. She was even dragged into an empty house and stayed there for a long time, unable to get out.

Zhou Xuerou still trembles when she thinks about the fear she felt at the time.

Even the ghosts in the haunted house couldn't bear to scare her anymore, and quietly opened the door for her.

She scrambled out, thinking she could finally catch up with Yan Lingyu, only to be thrust into the next round...

Zhou Xuerou's makeup was ruined by crying, making her look a bit ugly. Yan Lingyu pulled An Shixia back two steps and said, "Let's go."

Zhou Xuerou had no strength left. She watched helplessly as the group walked away, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up inside her.

My aunt said she was the most beautiful among the younger generation, so she raised her from a young age to be an outstanding woman, saying that only in this way could she be worthy of the Yan family and bring the Zhou family to a higher level.

She was very careful with her words and actions from a young age, and dared not eat too much, for fear of becoming ugly.

But today I actually made such a fool of myself in front of Yan Lingyu.

She felt a bit overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

Would Yan Lingyu still find me attractive?

Zhou Xuerou didn't dare tell her aunt what had happened today, because she was afraid her aunt would give up on her.

She gritted her teeth, forced herself to stand up, went into the bathroom to clean herself up, and then put on makeup again.

I can't appear in front of Yan Lingyu today.

My phone screen lit up; it was a message from my aunt: "How's the progress?"

Zhou Xuerou bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "He still hasn't responded to me."

[Useless! Can't you think of any other way? You slept with Yan Lingyu willingly; no man can resist a beautiful woman. I'll give you another week; I want to see results.]

Zhou Xuerou gripped her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand, Auntie. I will."

The Zhou family recently wanted a piece of land, which was in the hands of the Yan family and would be auctioned off in a week.

She had to get Yan Lingyu to give her that piece of land, otherwise her aunt would have someone else take her place, and she didn't want to lose her current comfortable life.

"Hahaha, Zhou Xuerou's expression is hilarious."

Xiao Mushen smiled the whole way, unable to stop himself whenever he thought of Zhou Xuerou crawling on the ground.

"She always had a fake smile, I thought she didn't have any other expressions. Oh dear, I forgot to take a picture."

Wu Yang felt a pang of regret upon thinking about this, and even considered going back to take more photos.

An Shixia poured cold water on the idea: "If you go back now, she'll probably be gone. I want to ask, why do you all hate her so much?"

As An Shixia spoke, her gaze lingered on the two of them.

Xiao Mushen's smile froze on his face; he dared not say anything.

"Well... I just can't stand her, I think she's too fake."

An Shixia narrowed her eyes: "Is that so?"

Wu Yang nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, we just can't stand it."

An Shixia snorted and turned to Yan Lingyu: "If they won't tell, you will."

Xiao Mushen and Wu Yang gave Yan Lingyu a look that said "good luck" before quietly leaving.

Wu Yang retreated halfway but then ran back and pulled Shen Tongtong away.

Yan Lingyu looked completely innocent: "I don't know why they hate it either."

"Yeah?"

An Shixia stared intently at Yan Lingyu, her gaze slightly fierce.

Yan Lingyu found her extremely cute and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Maybe she's just too annoying."

"Yan Lingyu!"

An Shixia's tone was also fierce as she slapped the hand that was pinching her cheek.

“She keeps running into me, but I ignore her. Then she talks to Xiao Mushen and the others. I guess they're annoyed too.”

"A chance encounter? I can't see it..."

An Shixia had already believed it in her heart, but when she thought about how Yan Lingyu had tricked her today, she couldn't help but throw a little tantrum.

That's right, she saw through Yan Lingyu's intention in suggesting going to the haunted house!

That repressed, brooding guy needs to be made to get anxious.

"Xiaxia".

Yan Lingyu tentatively called out to her.

An Shixia ignored him and took a few steps forward, but kept an eye on his movements out of the corner of her eye.

Yan Lingyu didn't hesitate for a second and caught up with him: "I should have told you earlier, it was my fault."

"If we hadn't met today, were you planning to keep quiet all this time?"

An Shixia continued walking, but spoke up in response.

"I won't pay attention to her, but... if something like this happens again, I'll tell you first, okay? Don't be angry, okay?"

An Shixia wanted to laugh at her serious explanation, but she put on a stern face: "No, unless..."

"Unless what?"
