C134 (2/2)

Just as he walked to the corridor outside the study, and just as he closed the door, before An Qingruo could take two steps, in the next second, the light in Lu Shijia's room three meters away suddenly lit up.

An Qingruo was startled by the sudden light, she stood in her original position, and before she could react, An Qingruo's closed door to the bedroom was pushed open, and Lu Shijia's tall figure in a nightgown slowly walked out.

Their gazes collided.

An Qingruo's heart heavily thumped loudly. Her ten fingers that hung by her side could not help but nervously grab onto the corner of her clothes.

His mind was instantly thrown into chaos!

Wasn't Lu Shijia already asleep? It was already so late, what was Lu Shijia doing suddenly by walking out of his room!

Unfortunately, she was hit by Lu Shijia! If Lu Shijia found out that she was sneaking out of Lu Yaozong's study room so late, she would really be finished!

It was already past one in the morning, and he had sneaked into Lu Yaozong's study by himself once again. No matter how he explained, he seemed to have ill intentions.

Therefore, should she immediately kneel down and beg for mercy from Lu Shijia, then tell him how big of a progress she had become in An Qingruo's place, and wait for Lu Shijia's punishment or find an excuse first?

As An Qingruo was in a panic, she was thinking in her mind. In the next second, Lu Shijia's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet corridor.

”It's already so late, why are you still not sleeping? What are you doing standing in the corridor like a fool?” Lu Shijia frowned slightly as he looked at An Qingruo who was standing stiffly in the corridor.

Although An Qingruo reacted quickly, but the moment Lu Shijia walked out of the room and met An Qingruo's gaze, Lu Shijia saw a flash of panic and fear on An Qingruo's face!

looked at Lu Shijia as if he had seen a ghost!

Moreover, it was already the middle of the night, yet An Qingruo suddenly came out in the corridor. Lu Shijia immediately felt that something was amiss, and his brows knitted even more tightly.

Lu Shijia's voice pulled An Qingruo back from her thoughts, An Qingruo secretly pinched her own palm, the pain made An Qingruo calm down.

One thing Lu Shijia could be sure of was that he did not personally see her coming out of Lu Yaozong's study room.

Thinking about that, An Qingruo tried her best to maintain her expression, so that she would look extremely natural and smile at Lu Shijia, but her mind was actually working frantically. She was silent for a while, and in the next second, An Qingruo tried her best to stabilize her heartbeat, and a bit of Xiao Ronglai appeared on her face: ”Um … ”Big brother, the toilet in my room is blocked. I went to the toilet in the guest room, but just as I walked out of the study, I met big brother.”

Adjacent to Lu Yaozong's study was an empty guest room. Although this reason sounded really crappy, it was already the best excuse that An Qingruo had thought of after a long time!

Listening to An Qingruo's explanation, Lu Shijia's slightly furrowed brows did not loosen. With a sharp and probing gaze, he suddenly looked towards the door of the study behind An Qingruo.

Lu Shijia's gaze stopped at the door for two seconds, before shifting to the tightly shut guest room at the side of the study.

When An Qingruo saw Lu Shijia's gaze, the heart in his chest started beating even faster.

He also didn't know if Lu Shijia believed what she had said just now.

The atmosphere seemed to have frozen over, and it was after a long period of silence, to the point where the unease in An Qingruo's heart grew even more intense. She finally could not endure such silence as she secretly pinched her own palm, trying her best to keep calm as she looked at Lu Shijia, ”Big Brother, what's wrong … Is there a problem? ”
