After Lin Yan confirmed this with the production crew member, she got Pei Yutang to take her to meet them.
On their way back, Pei Yutang, who was driving, exclaimed. “Daddy! I had no idea how talented you are! Besides being a terrific racer and actress, you can even sing?”
The corners of Lin Yan’s mouth curled upward. As long as the salary was right, there wasn’t anything she couldn’t do. She could even wail at a funeral if there was a need!
“Oh yeah, come to think of it, I’ve never heard you sing before. Daddy, shall we go out tonight? You can show me your talent at karaoke!” Pei Yutang suggested excitedly.
Lin Yan shook her head. “I’m not going.”
“Huh?” Pei Yutang was taken aback. Why would Lin Yan reject a treat?
“Daddy, I’ll treat you!” Pei Yutang explained to Lin Yan.
“I’m not interested in singing,” said Lin Yan with a shrug.
When Pei Yutang heard Lin Yan, he fell silent. She wasn’t interested in singing?
Then why would she accept the offer and sing the title song of Legend?
…
Lin Yan got out of the car when they reached Cloud Manor. Pei Yutang had some urgent matters to see to, so he left.
She went back to her room to wash up.
The past few days had been exhausting, so she fell asleep on her bed in no time.
…
When Lin Yan opened her eyes, it was already midnight.
She frowned as she lay on her bed. She hadn’t woken up naturally. She had heard some kind of noise outside.
It was very soft, and she had no idea where it had come from.
Lin Yan sat up and listened intently for nearly two minutes before flinching slightly.
It sounded like a baby crying pitifully.
When she was certain that a baby was crying, goosebumps appeared all over her body.
Why would there be a crying baby in Cloud Manor?
The cries didn’t sound like the cries of an ordinary baby. She found the sound eerie and scary.
Suddenly, Lin Yan recalled a horror movie she had watched some time ago…
At first, she thought that she had heard wrong or perhaps she was still asleep.
After she washed her face, though, that pitiful wail didn’t stop. Instead, it got louder.
Some time later, Lin Yan stood up and strode carefully to the door. She surveyed her surroundings but saw no sight of the baby. However, the cries continued to echo in her ears.
“Don’t scare me…”
Lin Yan felt a chill traveling down her spine.
Although she was brave, who wouldn’t be afraid in this situation?
Cloud Manor was completely dark. Pei Yutang and the others should be still out. Suddenly, Lin Yan felt that the entire mansion was eerie and frightening. Meanwhile, the cries had not stopped.
It was about 2 a.m. now. The only light in Cloud Manor was the light in the study right ahead.
Pei Yucheng’s study.
The more Lin Yan thought, the more frightened she felt. She immediately scuttled toward the study and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Pei Yucheng’s calm voice rang out from the study.
The door wasn’t locked, so Lin Yan entered.
…
Pei Yucheng, who was inside the study, was reading a document he was holding in his hand as he adjusted his spectacles calmly.
When he saw Lin Yan, a trace of surprise flitted across his eyes. He hadn’t expected her to be awake so late.
