The consequences that Ni An envisioned were far too severe.

Mingyao comforted her, "There's no name on the photo, how would anyone know it's yours?"

"No one will know unless you admit it yourself."

Ni An blinked, and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

She was still a little worried and hesitated before saying, "But..."

Mingyao interrupted directly, leaving no room for argument: "There are no 'buts,' aren't I here for you?"

"If the photos are really leaked, I'll help you find a way."

With Mingyao's words, Ni An felt a little more at ease.

When she went to work in the afternoon, Ni An was still absent-minded, her mind preoccupied with the photos.

Undeterred, she searched again during her break, but unsurprisingly, she couldn't find the photo.

The day passed without incident, and Ni An dreamed of finding the photos.

The next day, she arrived at the company with dark circles under her eyes.

Mingyao was startled when she saw Ni An's ashen face. "You haven't been thinking about the photos the whole time, have you? You haven't been getting enough rest."

Ni An nodded sullenly, and after taking a sip of black coffee, she said helplessly, "I don't want to worry, but I can't help it."

"The photos disappeared yesterday, but nothing happened today, right?"

That's what she said, but Ni An was still feeling uneasy.

She wanted to look for more photos, mainly because the process of searching for photos could relieve her anxiety.

"Sister Su, could you come with me to look for photos after get off work this afternoon?"

Mingyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, I have a class reunion tonight, so I can't go with you to find it."

"All right."

In the time that followed, Ni An appeared to be in the spotlight, but in reality, she was distracted.

Mingyao saw it all, but felt helpless.

For Ni An, the photos are very important, so it's understandable that she can't let go of them.

Mingyao stopped paying attention to Ni An and started to busy herself with her own things.

Unable to relieve her anxiety, Ni An took advantage of a moment to slack off and sent a message to Lin Bin.

Ni An: [Honey, we still haven't found the photos. I'm so scared.]

Lin Bin replied instantly: "Don't be afraid, baby, it's just a photo."

Ni An: [Those are photos of our children! I don't want my colleagues to share them!]

Lin Bin: [Okay, baby, don't worry.]

Lin Bin: [I'll work with you to figure out a solution, okay?]

Lin Bin: [Baby, I love you. Don't be sad. It hurts me to see you sad.]

He sent several messages in a row, and Ni An's anxious face finally showed a few smiles.

Ni An sent Lin Bin a heart emoji, and her heavy heart felt much lighter.

Lin Bin sent another message: "Baby, as your other half, there are some things I should say."

Lin Bin: [I know my darling and Su Xueya are close, but one should always be wary. Perhaps she really did steal the photos.]

Ni An immediately replied: 【Honey, impossible!】

[Sister Su isn't that kind of person!]

Lin Bin: [Hey, have you forgotten what the cleaning staff said? People can be treacherous; you can know a person's face but not their heart!]

Honey, don't think I'm trying to drive a wedge between you and Su Xueya.

I'm just reminding you to be careful.

Ni An's newly recovered mood vanished instantly. She pouted and sent Lin Bin a message: "I'm angry, I'm not talking to you anymore."

She turned her phone upside down on the table, crossed her arms, and stubbornly refused to look at it again.

The phone kept beeping with message notifications, and Ni An's furrowed brows broke into a smile again.

Just as she picked up her phone to reply to Lin Bin's message, his call came in unexpectedly.

"You rascal, you still know to call me, huh?!"

As soon as the call connected, Ni An expressed her dissatisfaction in a voice that was half angry and half annoyed.

Lin Bin chuckled and said indulgently, "Didn't you upset my darling? Hurry up and apologize!"

"I don't care, honey, you're not allowed to say anything bad about my sister anymore, or I'll get mad at you!"

"Okay, okay, my baby is the most important thing in the world, I'll listen to whatever you say."

Just as the two were deeply in love, Ni An caught a glimpse of Ming Yao not far away.

Mingyao stared at her suspiciously, her gaze sharp and penetrating, as if she were about to pierce through Ni An.

Noticing Mingyao's sharp gaze, Ni An's heart jumped into her throat.

Before she could explain to Lin Bin, Ni An hurriedly hung up the phone.

She turned her phone away and gave Mingyao a dry laugh.

"Sister Su, why haven't you gone to have lunch yet?"

After lunch, my colleagues left the company one after another.

Only Ni An had little appetite and was left until the end.

She only dared to answer Lin Bin's call when she thought everyone in the company was gone.

Staring into Ni An's wandering eyes, Ming Yao became certain of her thoughts.

She strode over quickly, taking three steps at a time, and demanded, "Ni An, are you still in contact with Lin Bin?"

Mingyao was worried that Ni An was in a bad mood, so she came back to comfort her.

When I got back, I saw Ni An talking on the phone with a beaming smile.

As she approached, she heard her husband address her so affectionately, and her heart sank to the bottom.

The panic that Ni An showed upon seeing her further solidified Ming Yao's thoughts.

Ni An was surprised. "Sister Su, I... I've already broken off my relationship with Lin Bin. You've misunderstood."

Mingyao curled her lips into a cold smile, "A misunderstanding?"

"If it was a misunderstanding, why did you see me rushing to hang up the phone?"

Ni An felt a lump in her throat and couldn't utter a coherent sentence for a long time.
