CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 248 YOU SHOULD BELIEVE ME

Studio?

Xing Chen frowned, his black eyes darkening slightly.

He thought she would obediently wait outside.

"You can leave now."

"Yes, young master," Housekeeper Wu responded and retreated.

Left alone, Xing Chen glanced at the two bowls of steaming soup on the table.

He had no intention of drinking them; he understood his mother’s intentions.

That night, the first time he drank this soup, he realized.

But...

As his gaze flickered, he unintentionally glanced at the note on the table.

It was a few words Fu Jingxuan had left for Ran Xiangsi.

Clearly provoking Ran Xiangsi.

So, does this mean Ran Xiangsi’s identity is already exposed?

Thinking of this, Xing Chen threw down the towel and strode out of the room.

In a few minutes, he reached the door of Ran Xiangsi’s studio, only to find it locked.

To provide Ran Xiangsi with a peaceful working environment, it was equipped similarly to Rongsheng Technology.

The door here was also made with the highest-grade electronic lock.

If Ran Xiangsi had locked it from the inside, it couldn’t be opened from the outside.

This was unlike Xing Chen’s own bedroom, which had a spare key.

Xing Chen stood at the door for a moment.

An unusual light flashed in his eyes.

What is she doing inside? Why does she need to lock the door?

Xing Chen didn’t say anything, just took out his phone and sent a message to Ran Xiangsi.

[Open the door]

When Ran Xiangsi received the message, she was trying to hack the hotel server.

She glanced at the message casually, then stopped her work, bit her lip, and replied.

[I’m working]

The two of them, cold and distant, not speaking, only communicating through texts.

But Xing Chen’s message instantly unsettled Ran Xiangsi’s heart.

She clutched her phone and walked quietly to the door.

Xing Chen’s message — does it mean he’s outside now?

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Xing Chen’s voice from outside.

With restrained anger and endurance, "Ran Xiangsi, open the door."

He spoke directly, making Ran Xiangsi purse her lips in grievance.

She should be the one angry, right? Yet, he spoke to her in that tone...

Taking a deep breath, Ran Xiangsi awkwardly said, "Ping’an just called, saying the hospital results are out."

"..." There was a sudden silence outside the door.

Inside, Ran Xiangsi waited for a while without getting a response, feeling a bit heartbroken.

She mentioned the hospital, couldn’t he explain a little?

It would only take a few words to clear things up, why couldn’t he just speak?

At this moment, Xing Chen was indeed outside the door.

He roughly understood why Ran Xiangsi was upset, "You don’t trust me?"

She must have suspected him, which is why she locked herself inside.

His little wife had quite the temper.

But... he liked it!

Ran Xiangsi listened but didn’t make a sound.

She was trying very hard to trust him, but... the human heart doesn’t stop thinking just because you want it to.

You can guess anything, but the human heart is always unknowable.

Separated by just a door, it felt like an endless sea, dividing the two hearts.

Deathly silence.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Xing Chen’s voice sounded again outside the door, "You should trust me."

It was a statement, heavy and almost suffocating.

Ran Xiangsi listened, her heart jolting fiercely.

Then, the sound of footsteps gradually fading away...

He left.

After saying just a few words.
