Ruan Qing listened and silently glanced at the person beside him. Although he couldn’t see the man’s appearance, it didn’t hinder Ruan Qing from liking this type of person.
He had seen many people who were interested in him due to his good looks, but this was the first time someone’s interest wasn’t on him but on his “husband.”
Ruan Qing didn’t have any aversion to someone who didn’t like him, as at least he didn’t need to worry about the other person having ulterior motives.
However, the original owner certainly wouldn’t have liked this man.
The man in front of him was too direct in his intentions, showing no intention of concealing his motives. It was deliberate, deliberately expressing his affection for Yang Tianhao in a blatant way, attempting to drive a wedge between their relationship.
A very crude attempt at manipulation, so obvious that anyone could hear the insincere tone.
The original owner wasn’t foolish; he could naturally discern it and understand Chen Sihan’s intentions. But even so, the original owner would still feel uncomfortable.
Because when it came to Yang Tianhao’s love for him, the original owner had never been certain. This insecurity had deeply rooted within him.
“I don’t mind,” Ruan Qing lowered his gaze slightly. A hint of discomfort and vulnerability appeared on his face. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his misty eyes welled up with tears, giving him a somewhat pitiable look.
Clearly, he wasn’t as indifferent as he had stated.
Chen Sihan stared fixedly at the misty eyes and tear mole on the young man’s face for a few seconds. His gaze then slowly fell to the slender and fair neck of the young man.
Due to the casual outfit the young man was wearing, the neckline was neither too high nor too low, revealing half of his collarbone. It was delicate and alluring, making one’s imagination run wild.
He wanted to tear off the young man’s clothes and see what lay beneath.
Chen Sihan’s throat moved involuntarily. His eyes narrowed for a moment, as if he was suppressing something.
But his voice remained unchanged, as if he had just breathe a sigh of relief, “Then I’m relieved. If Sister-in-law doesn’t mind, that’s good.”
In the bedroom, Yang Tianhao immediately clenched the doorknob, wishing he could go out and tear that shameless man into pieces.
He didn’t need to think to know that his wife was feeling upset right now. After all, he was so delicate and sensitive.
Yang Tianhao’s expression turned icy cold. Chen Sihan, was it?
Noted.
Since he liked “Yang Tianhao” so much, then he would grant him his wish.
Yang Muqing calmly glanced at the man who was radiating cold air all over his body, not saying a word, standing quietly by the side.
The sound of breaking the doorknob wasn’t quiet at all. Both individuals in the living room heard it. Chen Sihan looked puzzled in the direction of the bedroom and asked, “What’s that sound?”
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment and replied slowly, “It’s probably the cat.”
“Maybe something got broken.”
Chen Sihan glanced around and didn’t find anything related to a cat. He lowered his gaze to the sofa but didn’t see a single cat's hair.
Clearly, this wasn’t a household with a cat.
The sound from the bedroom couldn’t have come from a cat.
Chen Sihan looked at Ruan Qing and casually inquired, “Is my sister-in-law the only one at home now?”
Ruan Qing hesitated before nodding, “Yes.”
Chen Sihan’s eyes narrowed slightly at the response. Only one person...
He glanced at the seemingly blind young man before him, then quietly stood up.
Silently, he walked towards the bedroom that had just made the noise.
Ruan Qing naturally noticed Chen Sihan’s movement, but he didn’t stop him, even pretended not to notice.
The previous owner had only been blind for a few days, and his perception ability wasn’t that great. Besides, Chen Sihan’s voice was very soft. It would be strange if the murderer hadn’t noticed.
Moreover, this was the result of Ruan Qing’s guidance. He was looking forward to what would happen next.
It would be best if the murderer was found directly and then confronted.
However, to avoid getting caught up in it, Ruan Qing said to the empty sofa, “Just have a seat for a moment. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Without waiting for a response, he stood up and headed in the direction of the water dispenser, feeling his way.
The water dispenser was right next to the kitchen door, and the kitchen door was very close to the front door.
Even if something uncontrollable happened, Ruan Qing should be able to open the door and run out for help in time.
After all, Ruan Qing hadn’t locked the door just now; he had only closed it slightly.
Now was dinnertime, and there were quite a few people outside. As long as he ran out, he should be able to get help.
Ruan Qing didn’t believe the murderer would commit murder in broad daylight. It would be too easy to expose himself. Other players would figure out who the murderer was with a simple investigation. The quest couldn’t be that simple, and the murderer wouldn’t reveal himself easily. There must be rules and restrictions to the killings.
If the murderer was discovered, it meant that his relationship with the murderer would be completely exposed, and his situation might become even more difficult.
I must find time to visit the hospital again, to see if my eyes could recover faster.
Otherwise, he would be too passive in this instance.
Ruan Qing walked slowly, as if he couldn’t move conveniently due to not being able to see, but in reality, he was just waiting, waiting for Chen Sihan’s actions.
Chen Sihan glanced back at the young man who was about to pour him water, then continued to silently walk towards the bedroom where the sound had just come from.
There were clearly table settings for three people on the dining table. The food was still warm, but there was no sign of anyone.
This scene didn’t seem like the people who were eating left due to something sudden.
It’s more like... they had hidden themselves.
If it was Yang Tianhao, there would be no need to hide, because this was his home. He was the master here.
And even if it were ordinary guests, there would be no need to hide.
But precisely after he arrived, people went into hiding.
At the time, when he knocked on the door, there was no response. No one opened the door, as if they were preparing to hide.
As if there’s some existence that shouldn’t be seen.
For example... a lover...?
Chen Sihan found this thought absurd.
Yang Tianhao was almost perfect, handsome in appearance, came from a good family, had a considerate and elegant personality, almost flawless, as if he could do anything.
According to reason, with such a husband, his wife wouldn’t possibly have an affair.
And from the earlier probe, it’s clear the young man loved Yang Tianhao very much, even to the point of feeling inferior.
Chen Sihan lowered his eyelids slightly. But... who said that infidelity must always be initiated voluntarily?
What if someone forced it upon him, or exploited a weakness, or captured something indecent on him, or used Yang Tianhao to threaten him? The young man might have no choice but to compromise, enduring it while feeling despair and sadness, but completely unable to resist.
Could only... be manipulated, enduring everything given by the lover.
Even the lover could take advantage of Yang Tianhao’s absence at home, directly entering and claiming everything that belonged to Yang Tianhao.
Including his beautiful wife.
If it were before, Chen Sihan would definitely take pleasure in others’ misfortune, and might even mock Yang Tianhao’s incompetence. But now...
Chen Sihan wanted something more... to become that person.
If he discovered the adulterer, could he also...
Chen Sihan’s gaze, profound and deep, reached the bedroom door. He slowly extended his hand and was about to grasp the doorknob to open the bedroom.
However, before Chen Sihan’s hand could touch the doorknob, the bedroom door unexpectedly swung open.
A child of about three years old walked out. The child’s hair was messy, and he rubbed his eyes with a sleepy look, as if he had just woken up.
As soon as the child finished rubbing his eyes, he met Chen Sihan by the bedroom door and immediately froze.
Chen Sihan lowered his head to look at the child before promptly and deftly covering the child’s mouth, preventing him from speaking.
Obviously, it didn’t sound at all like he had initially thought; the voice was most likely that of the child after waking up.
Chen Sihan had previously investigated Yang Tianhao and naturally knew that he had adopted a child.
And this child was undoubtedly the one Yang Tianhao had adopted.
Chen Sihan turned to look at Ruan Qing, who was pouring water. He released the child quickly, silently returning to the couch as if nothing had happened.
The child still seemed to be processing the situation.
Chen Sihan looked in the direction of the child and curiously spoke. “Oh? Is this the child of Sister-in-law and Brother Yang? So adorable.”
Because the child hadn’t made any sound and Ruan Qing had only heard the door opening, he wasn’t sure what was happening now. It was evidently different from what he had assumed.
Chen Sihan didn’t seem to have found the murderer. Did something unexpected happen?
Ruan Qing held a glass of water and turned back towards the couch with a puzzled expression. “What?”
The child glanced at Chen Sihan on the couch, then at Ruan Qing, and as he walked toward him, he straightforwardly asked, “Daddy, is this uncle a thief?”
Chen Sihan’s smile faltered upon hearing that, but the next moment he laughed and said, “Are you Brother Yang’s child? How could uncle be a thief? Uncle is your dad’s colleague.”
The child had already reached Ruan Qing’s side. He held his hand, then blinked at Chen Sihan, his voice full of innocence, “What does ‘colleague’ mean? Can’t a colleague be a thief?”
Chen Sihan revealed a sunny smile, as if patiently explaining to a child, “Yes, Uncle’s family is very wealthy. Your dad works at Uncle’s company, so he definitely wouldn’t steal anything.”
The child responded with a slow ‘Oh,’ his voice tinged with curiosity. “Then what was Uncle doing at the bedroom door just now?”
After the child’s voice fell, there was a moment of stillness in the air, as if the world had quieted down.
Ruan Qing tilted his head, his delicate face carrying a hint of puzzlement.
Chen Sihan’s gaze at the child darkened slightly; indeed, he truly lived up to being Yang Tianhao’s wild seed, equally detestable.
He originally thought a three-year-old child wouldn’t understand anything, but he hadn’t expected the child to actually ask directly.
Chen Sihan looked at the handsome young man, and in the next second, a pained expression appeared on his face, filled with guilt as he spoke, “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry... I lied to you.”
Ruan Qing looked somewhat puzzled in Chen Sihan’s direction, as if he didn’t quite understand what he meant by saying he had lied.
