However, she still couldn't figure out how he got to her room. She nudged Ye Muchen beside her, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "Sleeping like a log. He seems like a shrewd person, how could he be fooled like that?"
Jiang Hua wasn't stupid, of course. No one could sleep so soundly. She didn't know who did it, but she knew it must be someone from her family, trying to force her and him to be together. Thinking of this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but chuckle, glanced towards the door, got out of bed, walked to the door, and turned the handle.
Sure enough... it was locked. This made her even more certain that something fishy must have happened yesterday.
She glanced at the wall clock in the bedroom, calculated the time, and realized it was almost time for Gu Yiming to arrive. She looked at Ye Muchen, who was still fast asleep, then at herself, and then at him, feeling a pang of panic. A man and a woman alone in a room together was bound to cause some speculation. If Gu Yiming misunderstood, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had eight hundred mouths.
He walked to the window and looked at the height of the window. It wasn't too high or too low, but if Gu Yiming came and found that he was nowhere to be seen, and only Ye Muchen was lying there disheveled, then it would be a foregone conclusion.
A gentle breeze brushed against Jiang Hua's cheek, making her more alert. She slumped against the wall, feeling utterly powerless, and slid down to the floor. For the first time, she felt this utterly helpless; her mind was a jumbled mess, and she didn't know how to function. Glancing at Ye Muchen's disheveled appearance, Jiang Hua decided she needed to calm down.
She quickly got up and went over to clean him up, making sure he was alright. After checking him over to make sure there was nothing that could cause misunderstanding, she seemed to relax and quickly climbed to the corner of the wall, obediently hugging her feet like a well-behaved student.
Jiang Hua appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was pounding. She was both excited and afraid. What if Gu Yiming didn't believe her? Then she'd be in deep trouble no matter what! Just thinking about it gave her a headache. She hadn't really lied to him about anything, so it shouldn't be a problem, right...?
If she wasn't mistaken, Gu Yiming should be back soon. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her lips and stood up timidly, looking out the window. She estimated the height and thought that if she jumped down, she shouldn't be in any serious danger. With that thought, Jiang Hua got up and jumped to the window.
Turning her head to look at Ye Mucheng, who was sleeping soundly in bed, she felt a pang of unease. If she remembered correctly, nothing should have happened yesterday. How could someone have suddenly appeared first thing in the morning?! The thought was enough to make her head spin. She couldn't help but sigh and obediently jumped down from the window, standing in front of Ye Mucheng to examine him. If Gu Yiming saw her like this, he'd probably be furious...
Would it be useful to argue with him...? Maybe...? Of course, whether it will work or not remains to be seen. After all, she's not the female lead, and life won't give her VIP treatment. If he won't listen to her explanation, she'll have no choice but to find evidence to prove her innocence.
Thinking about this, Jiang Hua felt extremely frustrated. It was the first time she had been schemed against like this and she was powerless to resist. Unconsciously, she walked to the door and prepared to open it. The moment she tried to unlock it, it confirmed Jiang Hua's guess. The door was locked from the outside and it was impossible for her to break free from the inside.
This person really went to great lengths, trying to trick her into jumping out the window and then implicitly admitting to her infidelity. If this person doesn't hate her, Jiang Hua should twist her head off. She sighed in frustration, sat down by the door, and stared intently at Ye Muchen on the bed. She truly admired how this heartless person could sleep so comfortably! It seemed someone had deliberately gotten him drunk last night and moved him to her bed while she slept.
Then lock the door from the outside, leaving her with no way to escape. She only has two choices: either jump out the window, which would be tantamount to admitting guilt and running away out of a guilty conscience; or obediently wait in the room to be seen by Gu Yiming, leading to a misunderstanding and divorce.
"Who is it?!" Jiang Hua clutched her head, racking her brains. She considered all the faces she had seen last night, each one seemingly hiding themselves flawlessly, leaving no trace for her to discover. "I hope I don't find out who it is!"
After speaking, she glared resentfully at Ye Muchen, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and couldn't help but want to grab him and treat him cruelly. The thought of her innocence being severely tested made her feel like a wilted eggplant, utterly listless.
Suddenly, a sentence came to mind: one should trust the person they love more, and trust Gu Yiming more. Someone as smart as him must know that he must have been wronged! Thinking of this, Jiang Hua felt calmer and more confident than ever before.
Who is the man she likes? It's Gu Yiming! That guy is smart enough to know something's wrong and will believe in her without hesitation.
She's definitely going to be the winner in this gamble! Now she needs to stay calm and wait for Gu Yiming to arrive so everything will be easier to negotiate.
She was going to gamble on whether Gu Yiming truly believed in her!
Jiang Shiwan was absolutely right, because Fei Yiming really did arrive very quickly. Fei Yiming was originally tidying up his things, but he rushed over because of a phone call from Jiang Shiwan. At that time, Jiang Shiwan had already prepared everything and was just waiting for her to call Fei Yiming to ask him to come and check on Jiang Hua's situation. So Jiang Shiwan called Fei Yiming.
Fei Yiming saw his phone ringing and didn't answer at first because it was Jiang Shiwan calling. But Jiang Shiwan kept calling. Fei Yiming was a little annoyed because he didn't know what Jiang Shiwan wanted to do by calling him. But he picked up his phone and said, "Jiang Shiwan? What do you want by calling me? If there's nothing wrong, then there's no point in calling me. Hang up."
Fei Yiming wanted to hang up the phone, but Jiang Shiwan wouldn't let him. She looked at her phone anxiously and said, "Wait a minute, don't hang up. I'm here to talk to you about something. Jiang Hua has locked herself in her room, and I can't find the key. I wanted to ask if you have a key. If you do, could you please open the door for her? She's been locked in there for a while now."
