Chapter 554: Someone Is Inside the Room (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Jifeng refused to be rejected. Watching her older brother’s current expression, Su He knew that if she insisted on refusing to let him enter her room, he would only grow more suspicious. As such, she stood at the side and reluctantly gave way to him.
Su Jifeng entered the room in a flash. Su He hesitated for a while before she followed behind him.
The moment Su Jifeng entered through the door, he surveyed each and every corner of the room sharply. Su He was terrified.
“Jifeng… You want to see me finish the soup, don’t you? Give it to me. I’ll drink it now so you can go back to sleep.” Su He took the initiative to change the topic.
Su Jifeng averted his gaze and handed the soup to Su He.
Su He took the bowl from him without looking into his eyes. She stirred the soup before gulping it.
If not for the fact that Su Jifeng was on the spot, Su He would have had poured everything inside the bowl into her mouth so that she could finish the soup as soon as possible and Su Jifeng would leave early.
Su Jiefeng saw each and every of his younger sister’s moves. His suspicions grew stronger when he noticed Su He’s diffident look.
“Slowly drink. There is no rush. If you are still hungry, there’s some left downstairs. I’d scoop some up and bring it up to you.”
“Cough…” Su He nearly choked. She quickly shook her head and said, “No, there’s no need. I’m not really hungry. This bowl is sufficient on its own. I’m not able to eat as much at night.”
Su Jifeng nodded and did not say anything.
Right after he spoke, Su He no longer gulped the soup as quickly as she had before. Instead, she stirred the soup with a small spoon and drank slowly. When she drank, she took a small spoonful.
Su Jifeng saw her varying changes. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. However, the smile soon faded.
After some time, Su Jifeng abruptly raised a question, “Xiao Qi, what are you doing inside the room just now? I thought I heard the sound of something falling down and was caught by surprise. Thankfully, you were fine when I came upstairs.”
Su He’s expression changed when she heard Su Jifeng bring up the matter. She said desperately, “I… I accidentally knocked something down just now. But I am alright now.”
“Okay.” When Su Jifeng was saying this, he suddenly rose up and walked toward Su He’s wardrobe.
When Su He saw Su Jifeng rise up, she quickly stood up as well. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Su Jifeng walk toward her wardrobe.
Without giving it a second thought, Su He rushed to his front before he reached the wardrobe and asked nervously, “Jifeng, what do you want?”
Su Jifeng was gradually convinced with his own speculation when he saw Su He’s actions. He c.o.c.ked one of his eyebrows and smiled faintly as he said, “Xiao Qi, I want to see how many clothes you have in your wardrobe. Your belly is getting bigger by the day. I believe you are no longer able to wear your old clothes. Allow me to inspect them, and then I’ll ask Uncle Zhang to have the clothes prepared and delivered to you.”
When Su Jifeng was saying this, he walked past Su He and opened the wardrobe door. Su He quickly grabbed his hand and said, “No… There’s no need. I have sufficient clothes. Jifeng, have you forgotten that you have asked Uncle Zhang to buy me a large pile of clothes? I haven’t gotten around to wearing some of them yet! They are all new. There’s no need to buy for me anymore!”
“Oh, really? Then let me have a look.” Su Jifeng’s eyes sank when he noticed his younger sister’s extremely nervous look. “Or should I say, Xiao Qi, is there some secret inside your wardrobe that I’m not supposed to know?”
“Yes, that’s right!” Su He gritted her teeth as she played along Su Jifeng’s words. “Jifeng, I’m no longer a child now. I’m an adult with my own little secret. Likewise, you have your own secrets. You didn’t tell me everything, nor did you let me see everything. So… So I’m not going to let you see what’s inside my wardrobe.”
“Xiao Qi, your words make some sense.” Su Jifeng said in a low voice while stroking his chin.
Su He heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She gave a nod and said, “Yes. It’s good that you know. It’s already late. I need to wash up and take a rest. Jifeng, you should go back to take a rest as well.”
Su He pushed Su Jifeng out of the way to signal him to leave. However, Su Jifeng made the first move by grabbing her hand and saying with a smile, “But in my eyes, you are always a child. You should wait until you’ve matured a little more before keeping some secrets. Besides, I’m becoming increasingly intrigued by your secrets hidden inside the wardrobe.”
Before Su He truly understood the underlying meaning of Su Jifeng’s words, a black figure flashed in front of her. By the time she took another look, Jifeng had already gone past her. The sound of a click was heard, and he opened the wardrobe door.
“Jifeng!” Su He was shocked and let out a scream. She was about to rush over to stop Su Jifeng from seeing what was inside the wardrobe, but it was already too late.
There were a variety of clothes inside the enormous wardrobe including dresses, casual wear, formal wear, so on and so forth. However, it was a little… messy.
Su He widened her eyes as she looked at her own strewn-about wardrobe. It took her some time before she snapped out of her daze. She blinked her eyes, straightened her body and faked a cough before she said, “I told you not to see inside. Jifeng, why did you still insist on it? Look at that… that’s a real shame!”
Su Jifeng narrowed his eyes as he stared at the closet which was obviously unfit to house a person. He then closed the wardrobe door without leaving the slightest bit of trace. He turned his head around and said teasingly, “So this is the reason you didn’t want to let me open the wardrobe, huh?”
Su He’s face turned red as she nodded, “I’ve been feeling lazy these days. I was too lazy to straighten up my belongings after I flipped them over. Although this is something understandable, I feel… embarra.s.sed to show you how messy my room is.”
“It’s my bad. I know that you don’t like people coming into your room while you are pregnant. As such, I specifically instructed the servants not to enter your room when they are doing housekeeping, only to forget that you are already pregnant and may find it inconvenient to do certain things. Xiao Qi, don’t get too busy. I’ll ask them to clean up your room when you are not around.”
Su He breathed a sigh of relief when Su Jifeng actually trusted her. She gave a nod as she said, “Okay.”
Su Jifeng cast a final glance at Su He’s room before he showed her his mercy and said, “Alright. It’s already late now. You should take a rest. I’ll go downstairs now.”
“Okay! Jifeng, rest early!”
Su He heaved another sigh of relief when her elder brother had finally left her room. She closed her door and quickly dashed to her wardrobe. She opened her wardrobe and examined every nook and cranny. After searching the ups and downs of the wardrobe, she furrowed her brows when she realized there was no one inside.
Just when she was about to ask about Ye Yan’s whereabouts, a familiar voice rose behind. “I’m here.”
Su He reflexively turned her head around to look in the direction, only to see Ye Yan came out of the washroom!
