Han Pengcheng heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Le Yao walk out with the vegetables in her hands, he hurriedly went forward and took the plastic bag. He even smiled. “Second Sister.”
“You’re sensible now. You know how to welcome me, but why didn’t you go downstairs?” Le Yao raised her hand and patted Han Pengcheng’s head. “Let’s go. I’ll make hotpot for you today.”
“Hehe.” Han Pengcheng smiled. “I was just about to go down.” Then, he glanced in the direction of the stairs and hurriedly pulled her into the house to close the door. However, his heart was still in his throat because he saw Liao Hu standing at the stairs, looking over sinisterly.
“What’s wrong?” Le Yao looked back at Han Pengcheng. “Did something happen? You’re acting strange.”
“No… no…” Han Pengcheng hurriedly smiled. “Perhaps my schoolwork has been too heavy recently and I’m not used to it…”
Le Yao didn’t say anything else. Instead, she changed her shoes and walked in, but she frowned slightly. “Someone was here?”
“No…” Han Pengcheng hurriedly shook his head. “Why would anyone come here?”
Le Yao’s expression darkened slightly, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she carried the groceries to the kitchen. “Clean up the table.”
Han Pengcheng went over to clean up the dining table. Only then did he realize that there were two clear footprints on the sofa and mud marks on the coffee table. He immediately felt terrible, but he couldn’t explain it. He could only take a rag and mop to clean up.
During the rest of the meal, Le Yao did not ask him anything else. She only asked him about his studies and then how he wanted to spend the new year.
Han Pengcheng slowly relaxed and only said that he had not thought about it.
After dinner, Le Yao packed up and was about to leave. “Think about how you’re going to spend the winter break. Come with me during the new year if you’re willing.”
“Okay.” Han Pengcheng nodded.
“I’m leaving.”
“Second Sister. ” Han Pengcheng hurriedly stopped her.
“What’s wrong?” Le Yao turned around.
“You came here on your own?”
“Am I supposed to bring a lot of people over?” Le Yao frowned.
“No, that’s not what I meant. I mean it’s not safe for you to be alone at this time of night.” Han Pengcheng picked up his coat. “I’ll send you back”
“Hehe, no need.” Le Yao patted his shoulder. “You just have to study hard and be a good person. Don’t worry about me.”
“Then I’ll send you into the elevator.” Han Pengcheng was still a little worried.
Le Yao didn’t say anything, which was considered tacit agreement.
After watching Le Yao walk into the elevator, Han Pengcheng heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around to return to his room. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Liao Hu. He really hoped that he could leave Xiling City. Anyway, he had money in his hands. He would find a place to hide his ident.i.ty and live a good life. He didn’t want to wander around here.
Liao Hu didn’t leave at all. He had been hiding in the stairwell. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but he couldn’t leave at all. There were bodyguards waiting at the entrance of the condo. He wasn’t sure if he would be recognized, so he could only hide at the stairs on the third floor for the time being and wait for an opportunity.
He waited for two hours.
It wasn’t until Le Yao left that he heaved a sigh of relief. He was freezing to death.
Le Yao walked out of the unit door and looked back. If she wasn’t wrong, Han Pengcheng was lying. Before she went over, a man had just left.. Who could it be?
