For a moment, Lu Yaozong wanted to see through An Qingruo's painstakingly crafted huge lie in front of her, but when the words reached his mouth, seeing the smile on Ruan Qingwan's face, Lu Yaozong hesitated.

Those words stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

In the next second, Lu Yaozong could not help but sigh, and raised his hand to pinch the center of his brows.

Ruan Qingwan couldn't help but frown when she saw Lu Yaozong's weighed down mood. She got up and held Lu Yaozong's hand, and asked with concern: ”Hubby … What's wrong? Are you hiding something from me? ”

Before Lu Yaozong could make a sound, An Qingruo, who was at the side, felt the heart in his chest instantly rise up into his throat.

His gaze could not help but subconsciously look towards Lu Yaozong while holding his breath, waiting for his reply.

That moment of hesitation just now had already allowed Lu Yaozong to decide not to tell Ruan Qingwan the truth behind this matter for the time being.

So when he heard Ruan Qingwan's words, Lu Yaozong grasped Ruan Qingwan's hand instead. With great difficulty, he forced out a smile towards Ruan Qingwan and comforted her: ”It's fine, don't think anymore. I'm just a little tired from socializing.”

Hearing Lu Yaozong's answer, An Qingruo's heart which was hanging in her throat finally stopped!

Seeing the tiredness that appeared on Lu Yaozong's face, Ruan Qingwan thought that Lu Yaozong was really tired, so she didn't think too much about it and anxiously looked at Lu Yaozong: ”Then quickly go upstairs to your room to rest.”

Lu Yaozong nodded his head, holding the Kraft paper bag tightly in his hand, he went upstairs with messy footsteps.

Lu Yaozong did not immediately return to his room, but first returned to the study room. He placed the wrinkled Kraft paper bag into the study room's safe, and after locking the door again, he turned around and left the study room to return to his bedroom.

As the night gradually deepened, the lights in the Lu’s Mansion were extinguished.

Seeing that it was already very late, and most likely everyone in the house had already gone to sleep, An Qingruo flipped open the blanket and got off the bed, then quietly opened the door and walked out.

Indeed, the lights in Ruan Qingwan's and Lu Shijia's room had all been extinguished, and only the slightly yellow lights in the corridor were still lit.

Lu Yaozong's study room had never been locked, so with a light turn, he opened the door to the study room.

He flashed into the study room, An Qingruo quickly closed the door and without daring to turn on the light, An Qingruo switched on the flashlight on her phone. She walked to the side of the desk and opened a drawer in it, rummaging through it one by one.

After flipping through the few drawers in the desk to the end, An Qingruo, unable to find the two Kraft paper bag s, couldn't help but frown. An Qingruo then quickly searched through the entire study room.

Thinking about that, An Qingruo frowned, her gaze sweeping around the entire study room.

She had searched through all the places in the study, there was no reason why she couldn't find anything. As she thought, An Qingruo's gaze landed on the safe in the corner of the study.

That's right! And there was this safe that she hadn't found yet!

The things inside those two Kraft paper bag must have been placed inside a safe!

Lu Yaozong had hidden it carefully!

The safe did not have any keys to it, so An Qingruo frowned as she wondered where Lu Yaozong would keep the keys to the safe. Suddenly, she remembered that when she went through the first drawer of the desk, there was a book that had a key in it, which was very likely to be the key to the safe!

Thinking that, An Qingruo hurriedly walked to the front of the desk, opened the drawer and took out the keys that she found earlier.
