Chapter 63: The Little Thief Has No Eyes

  He drove her back to the apartment building.

  Ning Meng leaned to one side, saw that he was tapping the steering wheel with his hand, looked around, furrowed his brow, and thought to himself, probably something else wasn't pleasing this great Buddha. Hmph, a common problem of the rich.

  "Thank you, drive slowly." She stood by the car window waving goodbye, smiling just right. But the car didn't speed away as expected, instead he suddenly turned off the engine and got out of the car.

  "Manager Guan, you..." She was stunned and looked at him walking towards the stairs, then hurriedly chased after him.

  The eighth floor, with over a hundred steps of stairs. Before, she had never felt that the corridor was narrow, but now it seemed cramped everywhere because of the addition of a tall and large man. She finally reached the door and let out a sigh of relief.

  "I've arrived, you can go back now..."

  He grasped the door frame, saying faintly, "This staircase is too high, climbing it makes me very tired, and... that dish earlier was too salty... stop blocking my way, hurry up and open the door to let me have a drink of water."

  No one asked you to climb, Ning Meng muttered to herself, thinking that the room shouldn't be too messy, Su Mei had always been neat and tidy, and would clean up before leaving the house.

  She pushed open the door and was completely stunned. The room inside was a bit unusual, as if someone had been there before, Guan Xuan looked around and quickly walked to the window, searching around, her face looking quite difficult. She stood behind him and took a look, and indeed, there were climbing footprints by the window.

  She let out a cry of grief and rushed to take a look at the two rooms. Oh no, the clothes were all over the place, the miscellaneous items in the drawer were scattered on the floor, it was like a wolf's lair. Fortunately, there was nothing valuable in the house that could be stolen. But thinking about the thief entering here as if it were an uninhabited territory made her shudder with fear.

  Back in the living room, Guan Xian sat on the sofa, leisurely drinking mineral water. She didn't even bother to greet him and quickly called Su Mei.

  "Plum, our home has been robbed."

  Su Mei's voice was like a thunderbolt, piercing through the air, "Damn it, which family's thief is so blind, what does he want to steal in such a poor place?" This guy has been influenced by those urban night talk girls since he entered the magazine company, and even his tone of voice has become much louder.

  "When are you coming back?" Ning Meng thought it would be better if someone accompanied her.

  Sumi sighed, "Sister, I'm now hundreds of kilometers away, how can I rush back? It's all because of that weird editor, letting us run to the countryside for an interview, and now the car has broken down, still no solution till now. Tonight, we have to stay in a hotel."

  It's really depressing, being a small worker is indeed helpless.

  "She helplessly said, 'Let's discuss it again when you get back.'"

  "If you're scared at night, go to Jiang Jing's place and sleep over." Su Mei reminded her from the other end.

  Jiang Jing that guy today TV station organized tourism, this moment still do not know hiding in a carefree place. Hung up the phone, she moved to the sofa and sat down, like a deflated balloon.

  But someone's complexion was even uglier than hers. He snorted, "When I told you this place wasn't safe before, you didn't believe me. Now look what's happened, it's only when something goes wrong that you start panicking."

  She thought of his nagging expression at the beginning, and felt a bit out of breath, saying, "Originally wanted to change as soon as the rental period was up, who would have thought that the little thief would take a liking so quickly."

  After a while. A sigh in her ear, he patted her hand and said, "Go find two sets of clean clothes, go to my place to stay... tomorrow I'll find someone to fix your window."

  "But...," she thought for a moment and proposed, "Why don't I go back to school and stay overnight?"

  "It's too far away, it'll take at least an hour to get there from here. And tomorrow morning isn't there a meeting in the office? I remember you said I have to arrive half an hour early." He gave her a sideways glance and raised his eyebrows, saying "Are you worried that I'll make mistakes? Humph, don't think about all sorts of nonsense...I'm not so hungry that I'll eat anything..."

  Ya ya de, hua li li de mi shi.

  Translation:

  Ya ya's, beautifully despised.

  Ning Meng followed him downstairs while resentfully thinking, but she couldn't remember who took the initiative to pounce on her and lick her that night.
