Since she wasn't at home, Qiao Wanwan, who wasn't sleeping very soundly to begin with, woke up quickly.

The man beside her opened his dazed eyes. "What's wrong?"

Qiao Wanwan kissed his cheek. "It's okay, I'll go check on him. You can continue sleeping."

She got up, put on her bathrobe, opened the door, and saw the bodyguard standing in the doorway. "What happened?"

"Madam, did I wake you up?" the bodyguard reported. "I just saw a dark figure trying to open your door. It probably didn't know I was protecting you from the shadows. As soon as I appeared, it ran away."

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "But I locked it from the inside."

"Madam, that person is holding something in his hand, most likely a key or something similar."

"So, it's very likely someone from the Huo family..."

The bodyguard nodded. "Madam sent Ruan Tang to prison, so the Huo family naturally resents you, which is why we have to be careful."

"I understand." Qiao Wanwan composed herself and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go and rest now. You don't need to stay here anymore."

"But what about your safety and Master Zhan's safety...?"

"I have my own plans, so don't worry. Sleep peacefully."

"Yes, madam."

Qiao Wanwan returned to her room, opened the box and fiddled with it for a while, before quickly lying down next to Zhan Jingting and falling asleep again.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a scream woke her up from her sleep again!

"ah--"

Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes again, turned on the light, and saw Su Yimo come in through the glass door of the terrace, currently covering her face in despair!

Zhan Jingting also woke up, "What happened!"

Qiao Wanwan put on her bathrobe, glanced at the time, and stepped forward to ask, "Miss Su, it's four in the morning. Why aren't you sleeping? What are you trying to do by sneaking into the room where my husband and I sleep?"

Su Yimo lowered her hand and glared at her resentfully, "This is the Huo family home, which is also my home. I can go wherever I want, anytime!"

"I'm here to treat your grandfather's illness, so I'm a guest after all. I never knew that the Huo family's upbringing allowed guests to enter their rooms and disturb their rest at any time. This has truly broadened my horizons."

"Qiao Wanwan, don't be so smug! I don't believe you can cure any diseases! You're just trying to make it sound mysterious!"

Qiao Wanwan tilted her head. "Whether I can cure diseases or not is none of your business. You've already disturbed my rest. Apologize immediately and get out. I won't hold it against you."

"You want me to apologize?" Su Yimo laughed. "Who do you think you are, to ask me to apologize!"

Qiao Wanwan ignored her and opened the door directly.

Hearing the noise, Huo Shiqian happened to come out of his room and asked, "Madam Zhan, why do I think I heard Momo's voice?"

"Yes." Qiao Wanwan shrugged helplessly, "Miss Su broke into my room in the middle of the night, I don't know what she wanted to do."

Huo Shiqian was furious and strode in, where he indeed saw Su Yimo!

"Su Yimo, what are you doing!" Huo Shiqian demanded. "Who gave you permission to barge into a guest's room in the middle of the night!"

"Brother, you should ask Qiao Wanwan what she did to me!" Su Yimo pointed to the mechanism on the ground. "I was attacked as soon as I came in! This thing sprayed something in my face, and I don't even know what it is!"

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "I feel very unsafe staying at someone else's house, especially two hours ago when my bodyguard said someone was trying to break into my room. So I set up traps next to the doors and windows so that they would be triggered if anyone broke in without permission."

Huo Shiqian looked at her approvingly, "Madam Zhan is very smart."

"Brother, whose brother are you anyway? How can you side with her!"

"Madam Zhan is right," Huo Shiqian said seriously. "Mo Mo, when did you learn these sneaky things? How can you just enter someone's room without permission? Especially at four in the morning!"

Su Yimo said matter-of-factly, "This is the Huo family home. As the daughter of the Huo family, I can go wherever I want and whenever I want!"

"How did you become like this?" Huo Shiqian looked at her with disappointment in his eyes. "Mo Mo, you weren't like this before."

Su Yimo was both angry and aggrieved. "You weren't like this before! You used to love me the most, and you would never side with outsiders to scold me! You changed first!"

"I'm discussing the matter at hand with you now," Huo Shiqian said seriously. "Madam Zhan is someone I invited to treat my grandfather; she's a benefactor of the Huo family. Is sneaking into her room in the middle of the night how you treat your benefactor?!"

"Brother, why do you always side with outsiders! You're so biased towards her, you always take her side!" Su Yimo wouldn't listen at all. "I hate you so much! I never want to talk to you again!"

After yelling, Su Yimo ran away crying.

Qiao Wanwan crossed her arms and watched the farce unfold with a blank expression.

Huo Shiqian closed his eyes briefly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't keep a close eye on my sister and disturbed you."

"I apologize for disturbing you." Qiao Wanwan was a little unhappy. "My husband needs a lot of sleep and cannot be woken up in the middle of the night. What Miss Su did is really unreasonable."

"I'm very sorry," Huo Shiqian said helplessly. "I'll find a way to send her away first, and I won't let her bother you anymore. It's getting late, you should rest first, and we can talk about it when it's light."

"good."

Qiao Wanwan poured Zhan Jingting a glass of warm water and took out a pill. "Take your medicine before you go to sleep."

Zhan Jingting looked at her unhappily, "I told you, there's no need for the Huo family to get involved in this mess, but you wouldn't listen."
