Zi Chuan? Zi Chuan!! (5)

Qiao Lian stood at the threshold looking into the room.

The curtains were drawn shut and it was dark, so she couldn't make out what was inside.

She collected herself and took a deep breath, preparing to enter.

But at this point, Auntie Li's voice came from downstairs, "Madam? Where are you, Madam?"

Qiao Lian, who was about to step over the threshold of the room, now quickly retracted her foot and turned around.

The approaching footsteps along the corridor caused her to panic and shut the room door in a hurry. As she turned around, she saw Auntie Li had just come upstairs.

Aunty appeared startled to see Qiao Lian standing in front of the room. "Madam, you're…?"

Biting her lip, Qiao Lian paused and walked away from the door. "I was curious about what's inside."

Auntie Li's gaze shifted to the password coded padlock.

Only Sir knows the pass code, so Madam probably hasn't seen it.
