Her journey into Leng Yejin’s mansion was a smooth-sailing one. No one stopped her or made things difficult for her. Aside from the legions of guards who were standing sentinel in the courtyard, the entire mansion was so quiet that a person would be able to hear the sound of a pin dropping. Tong Lu chuckled internally. Even God was on her side.

As Tong Lu went up the stairs, she tried her best to make as little noise as possible, so she walked on tip-toes. If someone else were to see her right now, they would think that she was a thief.

“Why are you being so sneaky?”

A man’s deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out from the top of the stairs. His voice was cold and domineering, and Tong Lu was so shocked that she went into a daze and missed a step. She started falling down the stairs.

“Ah…”

A figure dashed towards her and reached out, steadying her waist with his hand. She had not recovered from the shock as she raised her head and met eyes with a pair of profound orbs. His gaze was cold and dangerous, like a phantom in the night. The moment she discerned the man’s face, she was more frightened than shocked.

‘Illusion. This must be an illusion. Wasn’t he on top of the flight of stairs just now? How did he get to the bottom of the flight of the stairs in the blink of an eye? Even teleportation would take a longer time.’

Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows. ‘Why are you so frightened? What took you so long to come here?”

“You… you… weren’t you upstairs just now…”

“I’ve been down here all along. Your scream was so loud that it could be categorized as sound pollution. I’ve just saved you from falling. Aren’t you going to thank me? Growing up, did no one ever teach you basic manners?”

Leng Yejin started throwing accusation after accusation at her, and Tong Lu became so confused that she had forgotten all the questions that she wanted to ask him.

‘It’s strange, though. If he’s been downstairs all along, who’s the person who was upstairs just now, then?’

Tong Lu raised her head, and she saw Secretary Yu standing at the top of the flight of stairs. She scratched her head. Did she mistake Secretary Yu for Leng Yejin just now?

Tong Lu shifted her gaze away. She realized that she was still in Leng Yejin’s arms, and that their faces were merely inches away from each other’s. She could smell the scent of his body. She immediately blushed, and her heart was beating rapidly.

“Thank… thank you. By the way, can you let go of me first?”

Leng Yejin breathed an internal sigh of relief. She probably would not have any more suspicions after this. He had not taken things into consideration before saving her just now, causing him to almost expose his secret. But why did she look like she had just seen her prince charming right now? It was as if flowers were blooming in her heart. And she had the audacity to pretend that she wanted to be away from him by asking him to let go of her!

Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you sure that you want me to let go of you instead of hug you tight?”

Tong Lu nodded furiously.

Leng Yejin snorted and withdrew his hand. Tong Lu’s body immediately started falling again. She cried out in shock and immediately tried to grab Leng Yejin’s hand. But Leng Yejin knew what she was going to do and mercilessly raised his arm.

In a moment of desperation, Tong Lu grabbed the strap of his nightgown.

Leng Yejin was about to tie up his nightgown when he realized that Tong Lu was still clutching the strap tightly. He had no choice but to bend down.

“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t do it intentionally.”

“Aren’t you going to let go yet?” Leng Yejin gritted his teeth.
