"In that case, we have a hard time staying here tonight."

Hou Yiying persuaded Xiong Jiandong.

She had already figured out that if she repeatedly refused the kindness of Old John and his family, it would inevitably cause unexpected misunderstandings.

Xiong Jiandong, who is depressed in grief, is not completely repulsed by staying at Beverly 21 for one night. He could even think of taking this opportunity to ask Kent about the latest developments in the Van Lizhi drowning case.

His concern is that he has to worry about how he can live with Hou Yiying all night, and the two of them will live together as male and female lovers in an extremely embarrassing way, thus tarnishing her reputation of innocence.

And in the United States, if a pair of adult male and female lovers sleep separately, it is often considered incredible.

However, at this time, since Hou Yiying was generous and accepted the arrangement of the master's family in public, Xiong Jiandong knew that it was difficult for him to continue to object.

Kent led the two of them to the guest room, and when he left, he explained to Hou Yiying that if Mr. Xiong was unwell at night, he could be called to help at any time.

Nancy thoughtfully found a brand-new nightdress for Hou Yiying, and even the packaging had not been opened.

She enthusiastically introduced that this nightdress was designed by a Parisian fashion artist with a romantic and sexy style, and is now given to Hou Yiying as a meeting gift to thank her boyfriend Kent for saving her life.

The room is equipped with a separate bathroom with a double bed and two single sofas.

Hou Yiying closed the door, poured a cup of hot water for Xiong Jiandong, and brought it to him.

She asked, "How are you feeling now, are you feeling better?" It's best to take a shower and lie down right away. ”

"It's much better." Xiong Jiandong said, "It's better for you to go to bed, I'll just sit crooked on the sofa tonight!" ”

"Don't try to fight me!" Hou Yiying said, "You are a patient, of course you are sleeping in the bed, and I am standing on the sofa." ”

"Look at me, I'm going to look like a sick person now!" Xiong Jiandong smiled bitterly.

"Then why did you suddenly become very uncomfortable just now, and everyone was nervous about you!" Hou Yiying stared at Xiong Jiandong with a sharp gaze, "Seriously, I don't believe your excuse just now, it's because you drank too much." ”

"Of course, I don't suspect that you pretended it on purpose."

She added.

Xiong Jiandong was silent.

"If my guess is correct, you must have failed to restrain yourself because of these two things that Old John took out."

Hou Yiying said, and handed the gemstone necklace that Old John gave her to collect, as well as half a piece of paper with blood characters, to Xiong Jiandong.

"Moreover, I can still deduce that the owner of these two things is obviously just dead for more than two months, and the ashes are now buried in the Xishan Cemetery in the capital, Lu Zhichao's wife Lin Si'er. And Beverly 5, not far from here, is their residence in San Francisco, USA. And you, Xiong Jiandong, obviously know this for a long time. ”

"But there's one thing that I still can't figure out," Hou Yiying thought with a twisted eyebrow, "It's just that when you went to the flower shop before, why did you just get out of the car and set your eyes on Beverly No. 5." It's hard to imagine you've been to that French villa before. ”

"Please, can you explain to me what the hell is going on?"

Hou Yiying changed her tone and asked Xiong Jiandong with an earnest gaze.

"This ...... It's hard to tell. ”

Xiong Jiandong sighed with mixed feelings. His deliberate evasion, knowing that he was pale and powerless. The complex and blank eyes are full of melancholy, helplessness and sadness, as well as profundity.

Hou Yiying silently observed Xiong Jiandong, and suddenly another person appeared in his mind, who had also had such a very similar sentimentality.

"Do you know, Xiong Jiandong, I see your mood and demeanor at this time, like a person."

She finally spoke up.

"Who?"

Xiong Jiandong instinctively asked.

"Hua Nianping!" Hou Yiying answered word by word, very definitely.

She said: "It was after the Mid-Autumn Festival of last year in Huai City, because everyone mistakenly thought that you died because of the protection of the Wanshui Gate Dam, and then in the conference hall of Enyuan Group, a grand memorial service was held for the so-called sacrifice of you, Comrade Xiong Jiandong, and Hua Nianping personally delivered a eulogy. What he showed at the time was the sentimentality you have now. ”

"It's a pity that he has no bones," Xiong Jiandong said miserably, "I hope that God has mercy, and in the dark, the two of us have become one!" ”

"yes!" Hou Yiying's eyes lit up, and she said imaginatively, "Not only that, but I can even notice that many times, you can be the same as Hua Nianping in terms of tone and style of speech." ”

"It's really like you just said, what's going on with Hua Nianping, this ...... It's hard to tell. ”

Later, Hou Yiying actually brought out Xiong Jiandong's words of avoidance of himself just now.

Xiong Jiandong couldn't bear to see Hou Yiying, and continued to meditate on this, so he reminded her, don't forget that Kent said that he would send a very useful small device tomorrow morning, urging her to pack herself up and go to bed as soon as possible.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Hou Yiying understood that since Xiong Jiandong was indeed in good health, it was difficult to persuade him to go to bed, so he had to give Xiong Jiandong a quilt, and he leaned crookedly on the sofa if he was wronged.

Xiong Jiandong thought that Nancy had brought a nightdress over just now, and Hou Yiying might have to change it, so he turned his face in amusement and pulled the corners of the quilt to take the initiative to block his sight.

Hou Yiying took the nightdress that Nancy gave her, removed the packaging, and saw that it was a refined flesh-colored lace product, which felt soft and smooth.

She glanced at Xiong Jiandong's sofa, smiled secretly, and thought to herself that if such a provocative nightdress was really looked at by this man, she was not sure what kind of physiological reaction it would bring him.

In addition, Hou Yiying also has a very confident sense of security, that is, no matter what the circumstances, Xiong Jiandong will never dare to violate her.
