Ning Fan realized he had to open the door quickly, otherwise, once the time was up, it would be game over!
So, he reached out and touched the doorknob.
Who knew that Xu Xiaoqing, this little girl, would suddenly lift her head from in front of the mirror and lean toward the door?
Admiring Xu Ruolan's enchanting figure in the bathroom.
Xu Xiaoqing, her eyes sparkling with little stars, said, "Whoever gets to marry a beauty like my sister is really blessed!"
Ning Fan immediately withdrew his hand, his face twisted into a bitter smile, damn it, little girl, get away from me!
In the bathroom, Xu Ruolan smiled and shook her head.
Xu Xiaoqing didn't move away, still standing by the door, which frustrated Ning Fan greatly.
"Sis, what do you think of Dummy?"
"... Xiaoqing, what are you thinking? He's just a shameless rogue."
Xu Ruolan's voice contained a hint of helplessness, Ning Fan might be skilled, but he always liked to act like a rogue...
Ning Fan was on the verge of tears, if he didn't get out soon, he would really become a super shameless rogue.
He dodged Xu Xiaoqing and, twisting his body behind her back, fumbled around, and finally felt reassured as his hand grasped the doorknob.
Very slowly and extremely carefully, he unlocked the door.
Xu Xiaoqing moved slightly, turning directly toward Ning Fan, reaching for a towel.
Though Xu Xiaoqing's figure was not as good as Xu Ruolan's, she was still campus beauty level, naturally also impressive!
As she turned, she faced Ning Fan directly, causing him a moment of bewilderment.
Damn, this is way too close!
Only ten seconds left!
Nine seconds... Eight seconds...
Ning Fan, resisting the urge to nosebleed, continued on with the "earth-shattering" task at hand.
Just as Xu Xiaoqing grabbed the towel and turned around, the door finally opened slightly, and Ning Fan suddenly darted out.
As soon as he left the room, Ning Fan became visible!
Without hesitation, Ning Fan disappeared like the wind, rushing into his own bedroom.
He collapsed on his bed, breathing heavily, and said dejectedly, "That was a close call!"
The moment Ning Fan left, a gust of wind caused the bathroom door to swing wide open.
Xu Xiaoqing saw the bathroom door open and was instantly startled, screaming out loud.
"Ah... there's a ghost!"
Xu Ruolan, stunned by Xu Xiaoqing's scream, then asked curiously, "What happened, Xiaoqing?"
Xu Xiaoqing, looking panicked, said, "Sis, there's a ghost, the bathroom is definitely haunted."
Saying so, she rushed into the bathroom and directly collapsed onto Xu Ruolan, burying her head into her chest.
After feeling the warmth from Xu Ruolan's body, Xu Xiaoqing looked slightly less scared, but her face was still pale.
Uncertain of the situation, Xu Ruolan patted Xu Xiaoqing's back, comforting her, "There are no ghosts, Xiaoqing. Look, what did you see?"
Only then did Xu Xiaoqing look up at Xu Ruolan, still frightened and said, "Sis, I saw the bathroom door open little by little..."
Xu Ruolan instantly felt uneasy, quickly wrapped herself in a bathrobe, all the while comforting Xu Xiaoqing.
Xu Xiaoqing didn't even have the courage to walk out of the bathroom.
Xu Ruolan smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, there are no ghosts in this world. Don't scare yourself. Let's go outside and see."
Both of them were wrapped in bath towels and walked out timidly. When they reached the outside of the bathroom, they only saw the wide-open door and nothing else.
Xu Ruolan looked helplessly at Xu Xiaoqing and smiled, "Little girl, have you been watching too many ghost movies? You think it's a ghost because you didn't close the bathroom door properly?"
Xu Xiaoqing didn't feel at all that she had seen things incorrectly.
Moreover, she had clearly locked the door, so how could it have been opened?
"Impossible, I locked the door. The ghost movies aren't as eerie as what I saw!" Xu Xiaoqing argued unconvincedly.
Xu Ruolan gave a shrug and no longer paid attention to what Xu Xiaoqing was saying, simply reassuring her not to overthink.
Ning Fan was in his room, gasping heavily several times as he finally recovered from the shocks he had experienced and said casually,
"Wasn't it a wild idea for me to use invisibility to sneak off to pee? I almost couldn't get out!"
Ning Fan relaxed for a while.
At that moment, Ning Fan received a message; upon seeing it, he flicked his phone to the side.
"Mr. Ning, are you free tonight? I've been feeling a bit down lately, could we go out for a drink?"
It was a message from Xu Rongfei. He had just seen Xu Rongfei that morning, and she was already sending a message inviting him out for a drink so soon.
There must be some conspiracy involved. He didn't want to go.
Therefore, Ning Fan ignored the message.
A while later, another message arrived, again from Xu Rongfei, and this time her tone was even more earnest.
"Mr. Ning, I'm feeling a bit unwell right now; could you check on me?"
Ning Fan typed several characters on his phone and then sent them off, still politely declining.
But then, his phone rang—it wasn't a message this time but a call from Xu Rongfei.
Facing the relentless bombardment from a mature woman, Ning Fan admitted he had no resistance and, therefore, reluctantly answered the phone.
Xu Rongfei requested in a deep yet gentle tone, "Mr. Ning, did you receive my message? I need you to check on my illness; it's genuine this time. Could you come and have a look?"
Ning Fan smiled and said, "I only know how to treat illnesses."
Xu Rongfei chuckled, "Of course, it's about the illness. Mr. Ning, where did your mind go?"
That evening, Ning Fan followed the address given by Xu Rongfei.
When he got close, he realized that the area consisted of luxurious, meticulously crafted buildings, the price of which would be several million in Zhonghai City.
Although the environment of such residential buildings was good, how could a person like Xu Rongfei live here? Wasn't her husband from a wealthy family?
Ning Fan didn't think too much and continued walking towards the specific address.
Suddenly, he stopped. Below the corresponding residential building stood a woman dressed in a purple long gown that smoothly hugged her shapely curves.
Accompanied by her mature visage, she was the very epitome of sensual allure, almost mistakable for a noble lady heading to a significant evening banquet.
Many people who saw this scene couldn't shift their gaze away, occasionally glancing up at the woman.
"What's the matter? Do I look good?"
The person Ning Fan saw was none other than Xu Rongfei, dressed in an opulent evening gown.
Ning Fan awkwardly looked at Xu Rongfei, realizing he had been tricked. Xu Rongfei's meticulously dolled-up appearance hardly seemed like someone feeling unwell.
Moreover, it was so late already, and with the somewhat revealing evening gown, wasn't she worried that the night breeze might give her a cold?
Perhaps even if she weren't unwell now, if she stayed here a bit longer, then went upstairs, she would be?
