Chapter 826 - Caught red-handed (1/2)
Yue Ling stood outside the guest bedroom door with a slightly pursed lip. She stares at the closed door for a long second before murmuring.
”That's odd...”
She and Lu Tian had arrived home not too long ago. They even stopped by Elegancy to buy lunch for everyone. However, when she met everyone, she realized that Liu Shan and Xu long were not present.
She then learned from Ju Suo and Lian Ni Shang that the two assistants were still sleeping. Of course, they left out the drinking all night part out.
She raises her hand to knock on the door again but stops herself.
”Maybe they're not hungry and still sleeping.”
”Ah, boss, I thought that was you. What's wrong? Are they not answering?”
A voice sounds from the living room, and Yue Ling turns her head to the person. She sees Lin Hui poking his head in from the hallway first, then walks over to her.
She smiles a chuckle and shakes her head in response.
”No, they must have had too much to drink.”
Lin Hui stops at her side and stares at the door. He also had drunk last night, but he and Qi Li were up before Alpha Team and Wolf Team arrived.
He didn't think he needed to wake up some grown men and went ahead with his unfinished tasks.
However, when the two escape doors and living room window was put back together, he overhead Gui Zhongmin and Shaofeng's conversation.
He came inside with the intentions of waking up the two men but saw his
boss heading towards the rooms.
Not wanting to get in trouble of partying inside his boss's house, he quickly jumped into action.
”They must not have heard you.”
He chuckles and turns to look at Yue Ling. He felt terrible for drinking in her home while she was away. However, wanting to be a good subordinate, he quickly comes up with an idea.
”Boss, no need to be polite. This is your home.”
* Thud!
His last word fell, and a loud noise resonates from inside the room. He jumped at the sound but quickly laughed.
”See. They're already up.”
Taking the sound as a sign, he reaches for the door handle. He doesn't bother to knock and turns the knob since there was no look from inside.
He doesn't look inside but addresses his attention fully on his boss.
”See, what did I tell you? They didn't hear you knock.”
Yue Ling was baffled by Lin Hui's carelessness, but she also didn't think much about why Liu Shan and Xu Long didn't open the door. She watches the door open, expecting to see nothing out of place. However, the more the door open, so did her eyes.
Lin Hui took notice of her expression and frowns in confusion. He turns around to see what shocked his boss to the core.
”What is it?”
And like her, his eyes gradually widens with his mouth. Not in shock but in pure horror.
”Oh... my... God...”
No wonder Yue Ling looked like she received the shock of her life.
Inside the room, Liu Shan found his shirt but could only put one arm through the sleeve. Next to him was a shirtless Xu long, who couldn't find his shirt anywhere. Both men were as pale as a ghost and frozen in place like criminals caught red-handed.
However, the most shocking thing was the two assistants trying to get a scared Liu Ye inside the closet.
Anyone who saw this scene would think it looked like a cheating husband was trying to hide his mistress from his wife.
”Uh...”
Yue Ling stares at the three people in bewilderment. After what felt like an entire day had gone by, she finally came to her senses. She cast aside all impure thoughts and composed her expression.
She clears her throat and walks away after giving an order.
”Come to the study room in five minutes.”
”...”
Watching her walk away like she didn't see anything, Lin Hui's mouth twitches, wanting to smile. However, he held himself back and looked at the three men inside the room.
