…

Upon returning to the villa, Ye Chen discovered that Shi Nian had not yet come back.

He originally intended to go to the study first, leaving Zhou Zheng to wait in the living room, and then bring Shi Nian to see him when she returned.

But suddenly, he thought of something and wanted to verify it in advance.

So he went straight up to the third floor and into Shi Nian's room.

He walked to Shi Nian's wardrobe, opened each compartment one by one, and found the cabinet where she kept her personal clothing.

Then, he took out a pair of pants from inside...

His hand trembled slightly, and the folded pants fell apart, revealing the panda pattern on them.

Then, he took the bag he had brought back from the car out of his pocket and shook it out.

Two identical lines, one on the left and one on the right.

Looking at the two items in his hand... Ye Chen didn't even need to ask Shi Nian to confirm; he was certain that the woman who knocked him unconscious was definitely Shi Nian!

"Shi Nian, it really was you... You hid it well..."

Just then, the door was suddenly opened from the outside with a "click".

Then, Shi Nian's slender and petite figure appeared at the doorway.

She had originally intended to walk in.

But then she suddenly saw a man in her room and stopped abruptly in her tracks.

When Ye Chen heard the door open, he turned to look at the entrance.

Their eyes met across the distance.

Shi Nian was stunned when she saw Ye Chen's familiar face.

"Uncle, what are you doing in my room?" she asked, frowning.

Wait, what is he holding in his hand?

Shi Nian's gaze slowly moved down and landed on what he was holding in his hand.

The things he was holding in both hands were actually hers...?!

Shi Nian's face darkened. "You're trying to steal my pants?"

Ye Chen: "..."
