Chapter 48 Fear of the Dark



Lu Xiaoman's looks are comparable to Qiao Lianyi's, but the difference is that Qiao Lianyi takes the route of a pure goddess.

Lu Xiaoman, on the other hand, went for a mature and sexy look. Her eyes were adorned with exquisite makeup, and when she blinked, they seemed to be radiating charm.

Her lips, painted with bright red lipstick, resembled a blooming rose, captivating the heart.

Qin Bai was somewhat surprised; he had thought Lu Xiaoman was just an ordinary-looking woman.

No matter how beautiful the other woman was, Qin Bai didn't care. He just wanted to wait until tomorrow and then let her go back.

To deal with Qin Bai, Lu Xiaoman had actually put on makeup for once, which was quite unusual for her. She thought Qin Bai would be completely captivated by her.

Qin Bai merely glanced at it, his expression remaining perfectly calm, without the slightest change.

This greatly disappointed Lu Xiaoman, who secretly gritted her teeth, feeling that Qin Bai was like an ancient tree that had stood for a thousand years!

Outside, every man who sees her gets excited, but what about Qin Bai?

What's this?

"You'll rest in this room tonight. Remember not to wander around at night, it could cause misunderstandings."

Qin Bai pointed to the second bedroom and said to her.

But Lu Xiaoman wasn't really there to stay overnight; she never forgot her purpose, which was to get Qin Bai out.

Qin Bai definitely won't go out at night, so there's only one chance.

That meant she would play the victim and get Qin Bai to agree to take her home.

As long as Qin Bai can get out, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoman put on a pitiful look: "I...I'm afraid of the dark when I'm alone."

Afraid of the dark?

Qin Bai's expression was somewhat strange.

"If you're afraid of the dark, how did you get here?"

Keep in mind that it's pitch black outside, and everyone's phones are out of battery, so people are probably using flashlights as little as possible.

He didn't see any flashlight on Lu Xiaoman, which meant she had come in the dark.

Lu Xiaoman cursed inwardly, "I said I was afraid of the dark. Shouldn't a normal man comfort me or even invite me to sleep together?"

Are you even a man?

She used this trick before and it always worked, but it was completely useless against Qin Bai.

"I'm more afraid of those people than the dark."

Lu Xiaoman said.

"I'm curious, if you stayed at home, they shouldn't have been able to get in, right? How did you get out?"

In the heat of the moment, Qin Bai was not given time to think.

Now that he had it, Qin Bai noticed something was amiss.

Lu Xiaoman immediately said, "I saw them from upstairs. They came upstairs with flashlights, so I guessed they were looking for me. I was scared to be alone, so I went out and hid upstairs first."

"While they were knocking on the door, I quickly ran downstairs to find you."

This explanation is reasonable enough, but Qin Bai was speechless. Why didn't you just stay at home? Why did you have to run out and even come here?

Just as Qin Bai was arranging for her to stay in the second bedroom, Lu Xiaoman's stomach suddenly growled.

Her face flushed. She had only eaten some snail rice noodles for lunch and hadn't eaten anything for dinner. It was already late at night, so she was naturally hungry.

Lu Xiaoman didn't say anything, but Qin Bai still took out a compressed biscuit and handed it to her: "Eat it, this is your dinner."

"Thanks."

After Lu Xiaoman received it, she ate it in small bites.

This compressed biscuit, in the past, would have been enough for at most one meal.

But now, this one compressed biscuit can last her three or four meals!

After Lu Xiaoman moved into the second bedroom, Qin Bai returned to his own room and locked the door.

In this way, even if Lu Xiaoman had any bad intentions, she wouldn't even be able to get in the door.

Not only that, in the bedroom, Qin Bai was eating a sumptuous dinner, while Lu Xiaoman could only gnaw on compressed biscuits.

If Lu Xiaoman knew, she'd probably be furious.

Sitting on the edge of the bed in the second bedroom, Lu Xiaoman quietly took out a cell phone.

This is the cell phone that Jiang Haochang got from Cao Fengjiao. He asked Lu Xiaoman to bring it so that they could contact each other more easily.

After all, having a mobile phone makes communication much more convenient.

"I've successfully entered Qin Bai's house and am currently staying in the second bedroom. What should I do next?"

Lu Xiaoman sent a message.

Jiang Haochang quickly responded: "Find a way to sneak into his room. As long as we can lure him out, it doesn't matter if we sleep with him."

"In my heart, you will always be the purest and most beautiful, my darling."

Upon seeing Jiang Haochang's words, Lu Xiaoman smiled; she was willing to believe her man's words.

After all, her heart will always belong to Haochang. So what if her body has slept with other men?

Lu Xiaoman made up her mind to launch a night raid after Qin Bai fell asleep.

However, after waiting for a while, she arrived at Qin Bai's door only to find that she couldn't open it!

Lu Xiaoman was furious. What kind of man is this? Locking the door in the middle of the night?

Shouldn't I be the one locking the door?

She was truly speechless. Qin Bai's behavior had surprised her in many ways, and now she couldn't even get into Qin Bai's room.

At this point, she couldn't just knock on the door; that would make her intentions too obvious.

However, before going to sleep, she felt she needed to thoroughly check Qin Bai's house to see if there was a place to store food.

After all, their targeting of Qin Bai was partly for his food.

If there isn't much food, then it would be a loss.

After checking, Lu Xiaoman found something strange; she couldn't find anything at all, as if the whole house was empty.

"No, he must have kept all the food in the bedroom. No wonder he locks the door when he sleeps at night."

Lu Xiaoman suddenly realized that Qin Bai's bedroom was also closed during the day, so she guessed that Qin Bai's bedroom was locked even during the day.

This caution left Lu Xiaoman somewhat helpless.

In this way, she would have no way of knowing how much food Qin Bai actually had.

"Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, Qin Bai got up in the morning and was about to eat breakfast as usual when he suddenly thought of something.

There was a strange woman in my own home.

In this way, he would not be able to bring out his lavish breakfast.

Left with no other choice, he could only deliver some of today's food to Sister Lu so that she could continue preparing lunch and dinner.

However, just to be realistic, he would give a slightly smaller portion each day than the previous day.

This means that his food supply is also decreasing.

Sister Lu is a good person, that's true, but Qin Bai won't reveal his trump card easily. Only he knows how much food he has; no one else can know!

Xia Lulu didn't suspect anything; on the contrary, she thought it was normal. If Qin Bai gave her the same food every day, she would feel something was off.
