Duan Ye wandered around the second floor for a while, and finally went into the study, where he carefully inspected the entire room.
Nanxing is very guarded and likes to hide things, but her habits are different from Ye Nuan's.
Ye Nuan only likes to hide small things under her bed, but Nan Xing might do something big if he has the means.
Soon, Duan Ye found a cup on her desk.
The pattern on it was custom-made. Duan Ye looked at it carefully again and again before he realized that the pattern was actually his initials.
Duan Ye's lips twitched, and he immediately spun the cup.
The dark room slowly opened behind him.
Duan Ye walked inside. It was a dark room of about 20 square meters. There were many nails on the walls. It was easy to see that there used to be a lot of things hanging here, but now they were all gone.
He began to wonder what had been hanging here before.
Duan Ye crouched down, turned on his flashlight in the darkness, and took a picture of the darkroom. After searching carefully to make sure nothing was missed, he left the darkroom.
The study was filled with books and documents in the drawers, but Duan Ye still couldn't find any useful clues.
With dawn approaching, he quickly put everything back where it belonged and went downstairs.
There weren't many rooms on the first floor, only four. One was for the nanny, one was for Qi Yue, and the other two were guest rooms. He thought there probably wouldn't be anything left on the first floor, but he still searched those two rooms.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
Duan Ye returned to his room.
Duan Ze's car was hidden in the darkness. He watched as the curtains in the master bedroom were drawn back up, and then...
Duan Ze glanced at it worriedly, then drove away.
Although they couldn't find anything all night, they still gave it a try, and to their surprise...
Not long after Duan Ze left, Duan Ye was still standing by the window, not going to the bed. He just opened his phone and looked at the photos of his family of four in the album, a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
But he didn't stay there for long. He switched his phone's system back on and went to bed, enveloped in the cool night air.
The bed was large enough for him and Nanxing to sleep comfortably. Duan Ye never slept in an elegant manner and never cared about the distance between them, but at this moment, he could only lie on the edge of the bed and was too lazy to even cover himself with a blanket.
Not long after Duan Ze left, the power came back on at home, and Duan Ye drifted off to sleep.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Nanxing woke up. She subconsciously glanced at her side and found that Duan Ye was still sleeping, but he was not covered by a blanket and was far away from her.
Nanxing was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to go over directly, but then she seemed to remember something and didn't move for a moment. Instead, she gently took her own phone, then tiptoed to his shoulder and snapped a lot of photos.
Nanxing was having a great time, and later she became even bolder, trying to get close enough to kiss him.
Just then, Duan Ye opened his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Nanxing was so startled that she dropped her phone, which hit her face. She then gave him a very resentful look and said, "What else could I be doing? Of course, taking pictures."
Just as Nanxing was about to hug him again, Duan Ye woke up from his drowsiness, sat up and got out of bed: "I don't like taking pictures."
Nanxing missed her again, which upset her. But she thought that since he was already by her side, she should take it slow and slowly try to find their memories. So Nanxing held back.
"Okay, then we'll film less in the future."
"After we finish eating, I'll take you somewhere."
Duan Ye: "Where to?"
Nanxing smiled mysteriously: "Go with them, and you'll find out."
Nanxing also got out of bed, and Duan Ye went straight into the bathroom.
Watching Duan Ye's retreating figure, which he avoided at all costs, Nan Xing's doubts remained. She rolled her eyes, but instead of following him inside, she left the bedroom.
"Aunt Zhang, come here."
Aunt Zhang quickly went over: "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Did you go out last night, sir?"
Aunt Zhang was taken aback: "How would I know? I went to bed very early last night. What's wrong? Why doesn't Madam just ask the Master?"
Just then, Qi Yue was busy in the kitchen. She was about to ask a few questions when Duan Ye came out.
"Qi Yue, what were you doing wandering around the corridor in the middle of the night last night? You scared me half to death..."
Nanxing looked at Duan Ye on the stairs: "Did you see Qi Yue last night?"
Duan Ye nodded: "I heard some noise last night and came out to check. She said you told her to patrol the night?"
With that, Duan Ye went downstairs and walked towards Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was washing vegetables when Duan Ye took the basket from her. With his other hand, under their watchful eyes, he deliberately patted Qi Yue's shoulder and smiled gently: "Xiao Yue, go and get some sleep first. Leave the kitchen to Madam."
Nanxing's expression immediately turned cold.
Qi Yue: "Sir, let me do it."
Duan Ye carried the shopping basket further away, smiling as he put his arm around Qi Yue's shoulder: "You worked hard last night, it's better if I do it..."
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened in surprise at their ambiguous posture.
This...this...you dare to pull and tug like this in front of the lady?
What kind of behavior is this?
Nanxing strode over and pulled Qi Yue out of Duan Ye's arms.
Qi Yue was still confused: "Madam..."
Seeing Qi Yue like this, Nan Xing was furious: "You don't need to go to work today, go back to your home."
Qi Yue murmured a reply, then took off her apron and walked outside.
Duan Ye clicked his tongue: "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? I just feel that Qi Yue is working too hard and I wanted to share the burden..."
Nanxing rolled her eyes at him: "You're quite the chivalrous one."
Duan Ye jumped around wildly on Nan Xing's trigger points: "Did Qi Yue cook all the food yesterday? I thought it tasted pretty good. She's such an honest person, and she's been with you for so many years. Don't be unreasonable."
Nanxing was so angry that her whole body was trembling slightly: "You've taken a fancy to Qi Yue?"
Duan Ye: "Hey, don't you dare slander me."
At this point, Duan Ye didn't say anything more, but just smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind Nanxing's ear: "You promised me you'd cook for me, so I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Duan Ye ignored Nan Xing's murderous glare and walked straight out.
Nanxing was so angry that she threw the vegetable basket down. Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.
However, halfway there, Duan Ye returned, poked his head out, and asked Nan Xing, "When is Qi Yue coming back?"
Nanxing was furious: "She'll never come back!"
Duan Ye was somewhat surprised: "Don't let me ruin their livelihood, or I'll feel really bad about it."
After saying that, Duan Ye left directly. When he passed Aunt Zhang, he greeted her happily: "Good morning, Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang's face was extremely pale, and she didn't dare to reply.
