……

Sang Yu had a wad of money in her pocket and didn't dare to stay outside any longer. After making the call, she hurried back to the compound, planning to collect the cash first.

She came all the way upstairs and was about to take out the hidden money when someone seemed to have moved in the house.

During this time, Sang Yu had a lot of money on hand. She didn't dare to take it all with her, so she exchanged the whole money and put it in an envelope, and then stuck it at the back of the drawer. As long as she didn't take out the entire drawer, it would be fine. No one will find out there's anything in there.

The drawer at the bedside has always been dedicated to her. No one usually opens it, but she still does something wrong every time. Today she found that the small piece of paper she had sandwiched in the gap was missing.

Surprised, Sang Yu quickly pulled out the drawer and made sure that the envelope was still attached and the money inside was still there, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that the piece of paper had accidentally fallen, so she lay on the ground and started looking for it. Only then did Sang Yu realize that someone seemed to have cleaned the house. The most obvious thing was that the quilt on the bed was folded into small squares. You must know that Sang Yu The most he can do is lay the quilt flat, while Xi Zheng can fold it into tofu pieces. This is obviously because Aunt Sun has been here.

Seeing that the things were intact, Sang Yu guessed that no one had opened them, but she couldn't take it lightly.

When Aunt Sun brought the food to the table, Sang Yu pretended to mention it casually, "Have you cleaned the upstairs?"

Aunt Sun's back stiffened and she slowly turned around, "I went up to tidy up this afternoon. Madam, is there any problem?"

"I thought you were old and it was inconvenient to climb up and down, so the upstairs was cleaned at a fixed time. But today is not the day. As the hostess of this family, shouldn't I ask a question?"

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Sang Yu's suspicion is not unreasonable.

Aunt Sun lowered her eyes, "This..."

She was thinking about what to say when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure coming in from the door, so she said, "Sir, he always leaves early and comes home late recently. I was worried that I had missed some changes of clothes, so I went upstairs to take a look, and found that the house It was a mess, and I didn’t even fold the quilt, so I just tidied it up... Could it be that my wife is doubting me?"

Sang Yu saw that she was not asking for trouble, and she slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, "Where did you start talking about this?"

Aunt Sun suddenly panicked when she realized that she had said something wrong. Fortunately, Xi Zheng came over at this time, and she quickly turned her gaze away, "Sir, you are back."

As soon as Sang Yu raised her eyes, she met a pair of cold eyes, and her eyelids twitched.

Xi Zheng was usually taciturn, but he rarely showed such a strange look in front of her. What happened today?

Before she could think about it, Xi Zheng had already put his briefcase aside and looked down at An An, who came forward to greet him. His eyes were a little gentler and he asked, "What did you do at home today?"

An An rolled his eyes, "This is a secret and can't be told."

Xi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can't I say it too?"

These words immediately made An An anxious, and she could only look at Sang Yu for help. Obviously the latter knew the inside story.

Just when Sang Yu was about to speak, Xi Zheng reached out and rubbed An An's head, "Since it's a secret, I won't ask."

After that, he turned around and went to the bathroom, not even making eye contact with Sang Yu the whole time.

Naturally, Sang Yu couldn't have noticed this sudden coldness, but if she thought about it carefully, she hadn't offended him much in the past few days. There was no reason for Xi Zheng to have a grudge against her...

Maybe he was busy these days, so he was a little absent-minded... But at the dinner table, this strange feeling did not disappear.

She and Xi Zheng were not as close as a real couple, but they still knew how to work hard on the surface. They would not even look at her like they were today.

Sang Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed, but more importantly, she was still surprised. She was fine in the morning. Xi Zheng couldn't have suddenly changed his temper. Something must have happened.

After dinner, Sang Yu thought she could find a chance to talk to him, but as soon as she got upstairs, she saw Xi Zheng holding clothes and about to go out.

Sang Yu closed the door with her backhand.

Seeing this, Xi Zheng had to stop and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sang Yu took two steps forward, "Do you have time? I want to talk to you about the arrangements for the birthday party. Except for those friends in Baiyang, do you want anyone else to let you know?"

Xi Zheng pondered for a few seconds, "If you want to invite others, the things you prepared may not be enough. It's just a child's birthday, so let Baiyang get together with a few classmates."

"Indeed, they can't let go even if adults are present."

Considering Xi Zheng's financial constraints and his identity, Sang Yu didn't dare to be too ostentatious to avoid gossip, "I'm just worried that there are so many children that I can't take care of them. If something happens to me, I'm worried about it." I feel sorry for myself."

Although Xi Baiyang proposed to host the birthday party, it was Sang Yu who made the final decision on Xi Zheng's side. She had to ensure the safety of everyone present.

Xi Zheng raised his neck. Could it be that she wanted to back off?

Before he could speak, Sang Yu added, "I would feel more at ease if you were here."

Her direct gaze was like a feather caressing the tip of Xi Zheng's heart. No matter how hard his heart was, it would soften. Xi Zheng unconsciously softened his tone, "I didn't say I wouldn't come back."

Sang Yu's eyes lit up, but she still suppressed her emotions and said, "I see that you are quite busy these days, so I'm worried that you won't have time then. Now that I hear what you say, I have nothing to worry about."

Seeing her cautious attitude, Xi Zheng's fingers hanging by his side were slightly bent, and he lifted them forward a little, then paused as if he thought of something again, and said in a stiff tone, "Don't think so wildly."

Under the light, he looked at Sang Yu's beautiful face, and finally sighed, "I have to go to the factory again. Remember to lock the doors and windows when you go to bed at night. If you need anything, call me."

Although Xi Zheng tried hard to cover it up, Sang Yu still felt that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

As expected, Xi Zheng didn't come back after taking a shower. Sang Yu listened to the sound of the bicycle leaving, but her heart was still uneasy. If it wasn't because of the pressure at work, did someone say something in front of Xi Zheng?

With no clue at the moment, Sang Yu could only wait and see what happens. She didn't have much thoughts on it. Maybe one day when Xi Zheng finished the things at hand, he would have time to deal with her.

She had been tired for the whole day, thinking that she would still have to make egg pancakes in the early morning. Sang Yu also washed herself early and lay down on the bed to fall asleep.

It wasn't until the alarm clock rang that Sang Yu woke up from her sleep. She turned over and realized that she had fallen asleep in Xi Zheng's position. She immediately chased away the extra drowsiness.

Sang Yu was about to get up when she stretched out her hand and touched something hard under the pillow.
