In the neighbouring roo on her bed She didn’t see in pyjamas; she had just a set of purple lace underwear on Her boso out of the fabric,visual Down below, the lace persisted in keeping important parts concealed The contours of her body were faintly visible, alluring and fantasy-inspiring Her sleeping posture was elegant yet quietly so

Xia Lei gaze turned away fro’s body and swept over the rest of the room, then suddenly went back and stopped on her bedside

A person was lying belly-down on the floor!

Tight-fitting black clothes blended in with the darkness of the room If it were not for Xia Lei’s eye, which could catch the tiny changes in light, he would not have spotted that person!

The black-clad person lay quietly on the carpet by the bed and the person’s botto Xia Lei’s direction The bu the waist look even sli of the black-clad person’s gender - it was a female thief

THe sound he had heard earlier -black-clothes-wearing fe’s bedroomand sneaked into her room She had probably laid herself flat on the floor because Liu Ying hadin her sleep and startled her

Xia Lei’s voice caht away!”

“Say it!” The female thief put ’s skin A s’s could not think any one!”

If it were anyone else, he or she would have run downstairs right away to give chase but the one the fe to fool was Xia Lei She did not know that whatever she did had not escaped Xia Lei’s eyes!
