When Lin Mengyao awoke, it was already dusk, and her head was in excruciating pain, as if it were about to explode.
She scanned the room and found herself still in her own room, lying beside the sofa. However, there was no sign of Lan Xin Ai on the sofa.
Her pupils narrowed slightly as she recalled the man's voice she heard before falling unconscious. It was unmistakably Xi Yemo's voice.
Fortunately, she sensed something off when she heard footsteps and had quickly taken a sip of the red wine that Lan Xin Ai had been drinking; otherwise, her feigned sleep would have been seen through.
But why did Xi Yemo come here? And where did Pei Nuo go? A swirl of questions filled Lin Mengyao's mind.
Could it be that Pei Nuo was discovered? Where is he now?
No, she had to go out and check.
As soon as Lin Mengyao opened the door, she saw two bodyguards standing at the entrance. Guilt-stricken and scared, she immediately thought of Pei Nuo.
