As Nan Chen stood in front of the closet, the fragrance became stronger.
He was almost certain that person was inside the closet, as he felt like he could smell her breath.
All he had to do was open the door, and he would see her.
Zhen Lunlun who stood next to him was on the verge of breaking down from the stress. He couldn’t understand why Nan Chen would be searching for her in this room.
Wasn’t he falling asleep? Why did he suddenly come rushing in? How did he sense it?
Perhaps he should just have his name changed to Holmes Nanchen, or Conan Chen instead?
“Uncle, I didn’t really tidy this room well. If you want to rest, please use the next one……” Zhen Lunlun said weakly.
Nan Chen didn’t say a word, but his body was exuding a chilling aura. The air in the room felt like it was frozen.
Zhen Lunlun saw Nan Chen’s tightly clenched fist and dared not say another word.
He didn’t understand why Nan Chen would be so angry.
Even Nan Chen himself didn’t understand why.
He felt the anger in his heart reaching its limits. It was like a volcano in his chest that would erupt at any time.
But, it couldn’t just erupt, so he could only clench his fist as he told himself to calm down.
As expected of Nan Chen, he quickly held back even when he was on the brink of losing control, and loosened his clenched fists.
He then walked out of the room.
Even from behind the closet doors, Ning Ran could feel the coldness from the man outside.
She could only close her eyes tightly with her fingers crossed, praying for Nan Chen to not open the closet door.
Ning Ran felt like she was going to collapse from relief when she heard Nan Chen’s footsteps fade away.
She didn’t know if she was sweating profusely from the heat in the closet or the fear of being found by Nan Chen.
When she finally heard the door close, Ning Ran relaxed herself completely as she panted heavily.
No one has ever given her so much pressure, and the person who did had never said a word to her nor come face-to-face with her.
Even so, the pressure that he exuded was so great that Ning Ran felt like she would break from it.
“He’s gone, you can come out now.” Zhen Lunlun called out to Ning Ran as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Ning Ran opened the door and crawled out of the closet.
“Thank goodness, he didn’t find you.” Zhen Lunlun said.
“How did he end up here? Wasn’t he in the living room?” Ning Ran asked.
“I don’t know, I thought he was asleep. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and just ran in here. I was scared to death!”
“So he sleepwalked in here?”
“No. He walked right up to the closet you were hiding in, stopped, and looked very angry. I don’t know what happened to him either.”
“Do you think he already knew I was in there?” Ning Ran said worriedly.
“I don’t think so. If uncle Nan had found out that you were in there, he’d have opened the closet door for sure!”
Ning Ran nodded, but she still felt that Nan Chen had already found her.
It was just a gut feeling though.
“Alright, I have to go now, it’s getting late. Good grief, even playing a game with you brought such a huge risk.” Ning Ran picked up her bag and got ready to leave.
“Why don’t you stay here for the night? You can sleep in that room.” Zhen Lunlun said.
