Jiang Fulai tucked the blanket round Jiang He, whom he had kicked open, and then turned off the light.
Only then did he gently pick up his smartphone and leave the room.
The door was closed properly.
Jiang Fulai put the smartphone back into his pocket, went to the study to deal with some documents sent from the Jiang Family, and then returned to his own room, the whole house still vast and quiet.
He absentmindedly picked up the remote control to close the curtains, when suddenly he heard a lazy yawn coming from the smartphone in his pocket—
"You last longer than I do."
He was startled and looked down to light up the screen.
On the other end of the phone, Bai Lian was laughing lazily: "I'm going to sleep first."
The video call ended.
Jiang Fulai realized belatedly.
So there had been someone there all along.

Bai Lian got up a little later than usual.
Ji Heng, who hadn't been woken up by anyone for the first time, was slightly unaccustomed.
