321 Showing a Guilty Conscience
On the next morning, Wei Jun Hao and his wife left their room early and headed to the coffee house for breakfast.
In the middle of this meal, Wei Jun Hao recalled that he had forgotten to bring some documents and told his wife that he would be going back to their room.
As he was about to reach his room, Wei Jun Hao noticed a slight movement from next door. All of the sudden, the smile on his face stiffened. Seeing Bai Qi and his niece came out together from the door made him unable to react.
This... what is going on?
The couple seemed to be talking about something when Bai Qi finally noticed that there were someone else a few steps away. There was a brief glint in his eyes. Then, he politely greeted that man, “Uncle. Good morning.”
Zhang Li Xue stiffened when she heard his words. She turned around slowly and finally saw her uncle standing in front of her. A wave of panic came over. Zhang Li Xue wondered if this was the moment when she would get caught with Bai Qi.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Noticing Zhang Li Xue’s reaction, Bai Qi gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
Zhang Li Xue forced a smile and called. “Uncle. Good morning.”
“Good morning.” Wei Jun Hao coughed. “I forgot some documents.” There was an awkward smile on his face. “Your aunt is already in the coffee house. You guys go ahead and join her.”
.....
“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue was more at ease when her uncle did not ask any questions. She glanced at Bai Qi and spoke, “Then, we’ll be going first.”
Wei Jun Hao nodded. He turned around and finally entered his room. Through the peephole, Wei Jun Hao watched as the couple walked past his room. Then, he took out his phone and dialed his wife’s number.
Zhang Yu Ying was in the middle of eating some pastry when she noticed the call.
Her brow furrowed, wondering why would her husband call her at this time.
Zhang Yu Ying put down her pastry and wiped her hand and mouth with a napkin. She picked up the call and spoke, ” Hubby, what are you doing? You can’t find the documents? Didn’t you leave it on the desk?”
“No. This isn’t about the documents. Ying Ying, you won’t believe what I saw.”
Zhang Yu Ying heard her husband’s excited voice and became worried. “What is it?”
Wei Jun Hao took in a deep breath. “I think, Li Xue and Bai Qi are staying in the same room.”
There was a long silence on Zhang Yu Ying’s part. Her lips were slightly ajar as she tried to process this information.
“Wife, are you listening?”
Zhang Yu Ying finally snapped out of her trance. “What did you say?” She was beginning to think that she was having a hearing problem.
“I was about to enter our room when I noticed the movement from Li Xue’s room. Then, I saw them coming out of the room together. You say... don’t you think that the two of them are... together?”
Zhang Yu Ying quickly analyzed the situation. “Or, it could be that you are overthinking. Perhaps, Bai Qi came to her room and wait as she get ready. You know how it is with us women. We’ll take time to get ready.”
Wei Jun Hao frowned.
His wife’s words made sense, but Wei Jun Hao did not think that it was the case.
Judging from Zhang Li Xue’s reaction, that girl seemed to have a guilty conscience.
Wei Jun Hao was a lawyer and had met a lot of people in his career. He thought that by this time, he should have already understood someone’s thought by reading their expression.
Zhang Li Xue was clearly showing a guilty conscience.
Moreover, that girl had only reacted that way upon noticing that he had seen them coming out of the room together.
He had also been young once. He understood these things.
“But... Ying Ying, what if I’m right?”
Wei Jun Hao had thought that his wife would be worried. After all, her brother had reminded them to keep their eyes on this niece. Therefore, his wife’s reaction surprised him a little bit.
“So what if you are right?” Zhang Yu Ying laughed softly. “How old is Li Xue? She’s someone who knows what is good and what is bad. I trust her.”
Wei Jun Hao pondered over her words and heaved a long breath. “You really don’t mind?”
“Hey, I am Li Xue’s cool aunt,” Zhang Yu Ying spoke. “Of course, I will support her in whatever she wanted to do. Besides, I think Bai Qi is a good person.”
Wei Jun Hao chuckled. “Aren’t you afraid of your brother?”
“Why would I be afraid? Anyway, he doesn’t need to know what we know,” Zhang Yu Ying said. “As long as no one said a word...”
“I won’t say anything.”
Zhang Yu Ying laughed. “Un. I know. Anyway, hubby, even if my brother knows something, you will stay by my side and protect me, right?”
The corner of his lips began to twitch. Wei Jun Hao could already imagine just how Zhang Yu Han would punish him if he knew that he was keeping a secret about Zhang Li Xue.
However, he really could not say anything. Otherwise, he would destroy his good relationship with his niece. It was better to follow his wife’s suggestion and pretend that they know nothing.
“Alright. Stop thinking too much,” Zhang Yu Ying spoke. “Have you found your documents yet? Come over quickly. There’s a group of men ogling your wife.”
Wei Jun Hao became anxious when he heard his wife’s words.
His wife was too pretty. It would not be the first time someone hitting on her.
“I’ll come down soon.”
Zhang Yu Ying smiled. “Un. Just take your time. Anyway, Li Xue and Bai Qi will be here in a while.”
The call ended.
Zhang Yu Ying placed her phone on the table and saw her niece and her boyfriend walking over. She waved her hand and waited for them to come over.
After her conversation with her husband, Zhang Yu Ying could not help but observe the couple a little more. Subconsciously, the corner of her lips tilted up.
“Aunt, why are you looking at me like that?” Zhang Li Xue was quick to notice that something seemed wrong.
“Like what?”
“You’re smiling...”
Zhang Yu Ying laughed. “What’s wrong with me smiling?”
“Aunt, it was a little creepy.”
The corner of her lips began to twitch. Zhang Yu Ying heaved a breath as she reminded herself that she should not let this girl know that her husband had called her a while ago. “Nonsense. I was just happy that Bai Qi’s application process went smoothly.”
“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. Naturally, she did not suspect anything wrong with her aunt’s words.
