Ling Xue instinctively leaned back, the elevator lights flashing faster and faster.
In her extreme fear, Ling Xue took out her phone from her bag, intending to call property management. She held it tightly, but for some reason, it suddenly slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor.
This made Ling Xue even more terrified.
Ling Xue dared not pick up the phone on the floor, completely out of options. "Who's playing spooky tricks?"
Ling Xue yelled loudly, then quickly hid in a corner.
Time ticked by, the elevator remaining stationary, its lights still flickering.
The crackling sounds gradually subsided, and Ling Xue slowly regained some courage. She slowly straightened up, intending to pick up her phone. Su Dan Fiction Network
But just as Ling Xue's fingertips were about to touch the phone on the floor, she felt the elevator lurch violently.
Ling Xue's body was thrown uncontrollably to one side. On the elevator wall, directly in her line of sight, appeared several blood-red characters.
[Dare to disrespect Yun Shuu again, and don't blame me for sending you directly to hell!]
Ling Xue stared at the characters, her breath catching. She then involuntarily closed her eyes.
Familiar footsteps reached her ears. Moments later, Ling Xue completely lost consciousness.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xue woke up again, still with lingering fear as she looked at the familiar surroundings.
"Sister Ling, are you alright? Have some water."
Suddenly, a hand rested on Ling Xue's shoulder. Startled, Ling Xue instinctively retreated to the side.
Ling Xue hugged herself, timidly raising her eyes, only to realize it was Yu Sheng in front of her. "Why are you here?"
"I saw that the lights in your apartment hadn't turned on for a long time, so I thought something might have happened to you. Then I found you in the elevator."
Yu Sheng kept a close eye on Ling Xue's emotions, afraid of disturbing her.
So the footsteps she heard before losing consciousness were his.
Ling Xue calmed down, recalling the sounds she had heard before passing out.
"How did you get into the elevator?" After some time, Ling Xue's arms, which had been wrapped around herself, gradually relaxed. However, she still didn't approach Yu Sheng, nor did she dare to meet his eyes.
"I just pressed the up button as usual. Did something happen?" Yu Sheng, afraid of getting too close to Ling Xue, placed the cup of water he was holding on the table.
"What did you see after you entered the elevator?" Ling Xue suddenly looked up, meeting Yu Sheng's gaze.
"Nothing."
Yu Sheng replied, perplexed. He still felt a lingering fear remembering Ling Xue collapsing in the elevator.
Ling Xue suddenly lunged towards Yu Sheng, grabbing his collar. "You really didn't see anything? Then why do you look so nervous?"
Yu Sheng blinked, then reacted, not pulling away from Ling Xue. "I was just worried about you."
As Yu Sheng spoke, the sharpness on Ling Xue's face gradually disappeared, and her hand gripping Yu Sheng's collar slowly loosened.

"Where are you going?"
In the dead of night, Mu Qi gently moved Yun Shuu Nian from his body to lie beside him. However, as soon as Mu Qi moved, Yun Shuu Nian suddenly grabbed Mu Qi's arm.
"Have some water." Mu Qi's hand reached from behind Yun Shuu Nian, encircling her shoulder. He placed a kiss on her forehead.
Yun Shuu Nian blinked and responded, "Oh."
Mu Qi patted Yun Shuu Nian's head again, then turned and went out.
Seeing Mu Qi disappear at the doorway, Yun Shuu Nian got out of bed, put on her shoes, and quietly followed him downstairs.
Mu Qi paused midway, then continued towards the center of the living room. He poured two cups of water and turned around.
"Weren't you thirsty?" Mu Qi looked at Yun Shuu Nian, who was hiding furtively in the corner, and lifted the cup of water in his hand.
The sneaky Yun Shuu Nian hadn't expected Mu Qi to turn around so suddenly, nor did she expect to be discovered so easily. Yun Shuu Nian's body stiffened, and for a moment, she could only stare blankly at Mu Qi.
Mu Qi frowned slightly, put down his own cup of water, and walked towards Yun Shuu Nian.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qi raised his left hand and gently caressed Yun Shuu Nian's cheek.
The cool temperature on her face made Yun Shuu Nian shiver. She then hastily took the water from Mu Qi's hand.
"N-nothing."
Yun Shuu Nian didn't hold the cup steady, and some water spilled.
After Yun Shuu Nian finished drinking, Mu Qi took her empty cup and used the sleeve of his pajamas to wipe away the water she had spilled on his hand.
After placing Yun Shuu Nian's cup on the table, Mu Qi took a few sips from his own cup. Then, he hooked his arm around Yun Shuu Nian's waist and led her upstairs.
Once they were both lying in bed, Yun Shuu Nian possessively wrapped one arm around Mu Qi and placed one leg over him.
Mu Qi didn't object. He let Yun Shuu Nian rest her head on his arm and then closed his eyes.
Yun Shuu Nian looked at Mu Qi's breathtaking side profile with a complicated expression, wondering why she, who had merely wanted to catch Mu Qi meeting Ling Xue in secret, ended up feeling so awkward and embarrassed herself.
...
The next day at noon, Yun Shuu Nian woke up and groggily looked beside her.
Not seeing Mu Qi, Yun Shuu Nian's heart initially sank with a jolt. She then immediately got up and rushed towards Mu Corporation.
"Oh, young madam, you forgot your lunch," Aunt Ning said as she watched Yun Shuu Nian's fleeting silhouette, her tone urgent.
About ten minutes later, Yun Shuu Nian burst into Mu Qi's office.
Seeing Mu Qi sitting at his office chair, with the figure Yun Shuu Nian didn't want to see nowhere in sight, Yun Shuu Nian's expression finally relaxed.
However, soon, Yun Shuu Nian's face turned grim again.
"Mu Qi, did Ling Xue come in this morning?" Yun Shuu Nian stepped forward, grabbed Mu Qi's tie, and made him look at her.
Mu Qi obediently turned his chair to face Yun Shuu Nian. "No."
As Mu Qi finished speaking, Yun Shuu Nian immediately reacted. "No, I'm not asking you. I'm going to ask the front desk."
Seeing Yun Shuu Nian about to go downstairs again, Mu Qi instinctively followed.
Yun Shuu Nian sensed him after a few steps and turned back, frowning as she pushed Mu Qi back.
If the front desk saw Mu Qi, who knew what nonsense they would speak.
Mu Qi watched Yun Shuu Nian's figure gradually disappear.
At that moment, on the other side of the screen, the executives who were far abroad were in a complete uproar.
