We really can't let them in.

If she were to walk to the window, she would surely discover something, which would likely wake up her family and lead them to Du Wei. Then, the fact that she was hiding a man in her room would become common knowledge.

Yan Yirou covered her mouth and yawned: "I'm going to sleep. Even if it's leaking, you can wait until dawn before coming back."

After saying that, she closed the door.

Security captain: "..." So, is the young lady just playing with them?

Another security guard asked, "Captain, what do we do now?"

"Didn't you hear what the young lady said? Go back to sleep!"

The security captain turned and left.

Inside the room, Yan Yirou pushed open the door to the walk-in closet, walked back to the bed, picked up her phone, and said, "Fourth Young Master, are you still there?"

Gu Shiyi's voice came through the phone: "Miss Yan, the Fourth Young Master is in a meeting. Please wait a moment."

Yan Yirou frowned and asked, "How long is 'a moment'?"

Gu Shiyi wasn't sure of the exact time either, so he could only say, "The meeting is over."

Does that mean if the meeting ends in three or four hours, she'll have to wait for three or four hours?

Yan Yirou really wanted to curse the male lead's ancestors.

"Do you know why Fourth Young Master wanted to see me? I'll tell you now if I know, or you can tell him later."

"Miss Yan..."

Before Gu Shiyi could finish speaking, Yan Yirou interrupted him: "It's getting late. I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow. I have an appointment with your fourth young mistress."

In order to get a good night's sleep, she had to bring up Shangguan Wu.

Gu Shiyi on the other end of the phone felt completely overwhelmed.

Can he say it's related to the fourth young mistress?

What if Yan Yirou tells him a secret she shouldn't?

Gu Shiyi asked in a consultative tone, "Ms. Yan, would this be alright? Please keep your phone on, and I'll call you again after the meeting?"

"It would have been better to do this earlier."

Yan Yirou handed the phone back to Du Wei and asked, "Can you leave without anyone noticing?"

Du Wei nodded: "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Miss Yan. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the window. Just as he was about to open the window, he noticed someone below and quickly stepped back.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Yirou instinctively felt that nothing good was coming.

Du Wei frowned: "There are people guarding down there."

Yan Yirou's eyelids twitched.

Thinking of something, she immediately went to the window and drew the curtains. She walked back and forth twice before saying to Du Wei, "Leave through the window of another room."

"good."

Du Wei went to the door, pressed his ear against it to listen for any sounds outside, and only after confirming that no one was there did he open the door and leave.

Yan Yirou followed behind him with an empty water glass in her hand.

I thought he would go downstairs, but he went upstairs instead. Was he going to walk from the roof?

That's exactly what Du Wei thought.

Yan Yirou went downstairs to get water. As soon as she reached the first floor, she saw the security captain standing against the wall, as if he was waiting for someone.

It seems they're convinced there's someone in her room!

Yan Yirou didn't say anything and walked towards the water dispenser.

The security captain kept watching her slender back.

Yan Yirou noticed it, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She didn't turn around, but poured herself a full glass of water before turning and walking towards the stairwell.

Yan Yirou passed by the security captain without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, the security captain suddenly said, "Miss, my men saw someone in your room through your window. If you are being coerced, please stay on the first floor. I will go up and catch the pervert for you. I hope you will prioritize your safety."

Yan Yirou stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him: "There's no one in my room. I just got thirsty and got up to drink some water, but I ran out of water in the room, so I came downstairs to get some. He probably saw me."

The security captain wanted to say something, but Yan Yirou didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Don't ever say that the other security guards are your people again. You are all security guards hired by the Yan family, and you are members of the Yan family."

"..."

The security captain was speechless for a moment.

Yan Yirou looked at him coldly: "You're not saying anything, is there something you want to say?"

The security captain suddenly regretted calling out to the young lady.

But he had worked for the Yan family for more than ten years. Even if he hadn't made any great contributions, he had certainly put in a lot of hard work. The young lady actually warned him like this in front of his subordinates. Wasn't this clearly inciting his subordinates to rebel against him?

"I have no objection," the security captain replied, bowing his head.

Yan Yirou then asked him, "Did you remember what I just reminded you of?"

The security captain didn't expect her to persist, and his face turned somewhat ugly. He continued, bowing his head, "I'll remember that."

Yan Yirou said, "Then please repeat it."

The security guard behind the security captain suddenly looked up and stared at her in shock.

Yan Yirou saw it, but could only pretend she didn't.

If she could stall the security captain, the chances of Du Wei leaving silently would be much greater, and she certainly didn't want Du Wei to fall into the hands of the security team.

The security captain repeated Yan Yirou's words, his voice growing colder, clearly indicating that he was holding back his anger.

Yan Yirou lingered for almost ten more minutes before pretending to yawn: "I'm sleepy. Let's stop here for today. You guys go back to sleep too. It's okay if you have to work the night shift."

"Since we are responsible for the safety of the Yan family, we will absolutely not slack off or conceal any truth."

After the security captain finished speaking meaningfully, he led his men toward the villa entrance.

When Yan Yirou returned to her room, she received a thank-you text message from Du Wei, and knew that he had left safely.

She sat on the edge of the bed for ten minutes, but when she didn't receive a call, she simply lay down and went to sleep.

Yan Yirou was woken up by her alarm clock at six o'clock in the morning.

Gu Shiyi did not call.

After washing up, Yan Yirou went out to the old house for breakfast.

As I walked to the entrance of the old house, I ran into Yan Yixuan.

Yan Yixuan smiled and linked arms with Yan Yirou, deliberately asking, "Sister, I heard there was a man in your room last night. Was he your future brother-in-law?"

After Yan Yixuan finished speaking, she giggled like a mother hen.

Yan Yirou cursed under her breath. If Gu Yunzhen hadn't been stirring up trouble and sent Du Wei to find her in the middle of the night, she wouldn't have been misunderstood!

"Your future brother-in-law is still in my mother-in-law's belly, please don't ruin my reputation, thank you."

Yan Yixuan's lips twitched. Did her cousin want to take advantage of a younger man?

"Who is the man in my sister's room?"

"I've already said I don't have a man anymore, why are you still asking?"

Yan Yirou suddenly pulled her arm back, looking at her with an incredulous expression: "Oh, you didn't do this on purpose, did you? You want to see Grandma criticize me, think I'm a person without self-respect and self-love, and give up on me, this disobedient granddaughter, so that you can show off yourself and get Grandma to marry you off to Ji Xianli, right?"

Is her cousin a mind reader? She seems to know everything her cousin is thinking and can even blurt it all out!

A hint of guilt flashed in Yan Yixuan's eyes.

But for her own happiness, Yan Yixuan retorted, "Sister, don't you dislike Brother Xianli? Then why can't you give him to me?"
