Xu Chencan had even told him that she felt that her mother did not leave for no reason. There must be some unknown secret behind this.

Now he could get to the bottom of this.

He kept the photo album and picked up the phone on the table, dialing a number, ”It's me. Investigate the history of the Xu Family, focusing on the birth mothers of Xu Qiming and Xu Chencan.”

After hanging up, a knock came from the door.

”Enter.”

The door opened and Auntie Ling walked in. ”Sir, dinner is ready.”

”Where's Madame?” Chu Lingyu stood up and asked as he walked out.

”Madam said that she had been in the hospital all day and needed to change her clothes. She has already returned to her room to take a bath.” Aunt Ling answered respectfully.

Bath?

Chu Lingyu's footsteps paused, ”Which room is she in?”

”The second one is on the left side of your room.”

Chu Lingyu looked in that direction, and his eyes gradually turned dark.

He said to Aunt Ling, ”You go down first. I'll go eat with Madam later.”

”Alright.” Aunt Ling turned around and went downstairs.

Chu Lingyu waited until Aunt Ling had completely disappeared around the corner, then turned around and slowly walked towards Xu Chencan's room.

He took the knob and twisted it slightly, and the door opened.

A faint sound of water could be heard from the bathroom in the bedroom.

The clothes Xu Chencan was wearing when he returned were placed neatly on the bed.

It seems that doctors have not only an obsession with cleanliness, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He opened the cabinet under the dressing table, took out a soft and clean towel, and placed it on the bedside table. Then, he sat down on the sofa and took out a book from a nearby shelf to read.

There was a silence in the room.

Xu Chencan thought that the bathrobe and towel would be in the bathroom cabinet. But when she finished her shower, there was nothing inside.

He had to dry his hair and go to the bedroom. There was no one there.

”Crack!”

Just as Xu Chencan opened the bathroom door, Chu Lingyu raised her head and looked over.

Their gazes met, and the corners of Chu Lingyu's lips curled up. Xu Chencan let out a terrified cry, and quickly hid back into the bathroom, hugging her shoulder as she panicked.

”You … Why are you here? ” She was shy and embarrassed, and her whole face was flushed.

”I came to bring you a bath towel.” Chu Lingyu took the towel and walked out of the bathroom, ”Open the door, I'll give it to you.”

”You … You... Close your eyes! ” Xu Chencan had never been naked in front of the opposite sex before. Thinking back to the scene just now, she was still flustered and helpless.

Chu Lingyu smiled silently, ”Alright.” He closed his eyes.

Xu Chencan quietly opened the door a crack. When she saw that he had closed his eyes, she heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly took the towel from his hands, thanked him, and closed the door, drying her body.

”You're welcome.” Chu Lingyu turned to leave.
