Su Xiaonuan was lost in thought, even though she clearly remembered that there had been a power outage last night.

Unable to find a place to sleep, she climbed into Zhan Xiaoling's bed, and that's where the rest of the story begins.

To find out what happened.

Su Xiaonuan chuckled and pulled Guo Zilan along, "Aunt Guo, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Guo Zilan thought for a few seconds and shook her head: "My husband is sick and hospitalized. General Zhan told me to go to the hospital at seven o'clock and I won't get back until eleven o'clock. There is electricity at home."

There's clearly electricity at home, so why is Zhan Xiaoling lying to me? What's his purpose?

Su Xiaonuan put her right hand on her hip and picked up her phone. A familiar voice came from the other end: "Long time no see, Mrs. Zhan. You miss me so soon?"

Hearing Zhan Xiaoling's voice, Su Xiaonuan asked suspiciously, "Zhan Xiaoling, there's clearly electricity in the house, why did you lie to me?"

Zhan Xiaoling put down the expensive pen, crossed his legs, and leaned lazily back in the leather chair: "You don't know if there's a power outage at home, I'm very busy."

Zhan Xiaoling denied lying to her, so Su Xiaonuan shouted, "Come back! I won't let you get away with this!"

"We've only been apart for two hours, and you already can't bear to part with me?" Zhan Xiaoling slapped the table repeatedly with his right hand, teasing Su Xiaonuan in a playful tone.

"You big-headed devil, you bastard tricked me into signing this! You're despicable and shameless! What's in the agreement?" Su Xiaonuan pressed for details.

When Zhan Xiaoling lied to her about the power outage at her house, a slight smile appeared on his icy face: "Just be prepared and pay the rent on time."

Hearing Su Xiaonuan's insults coming from the phone, Zhan Xiaoling hung up and chuckled.

He glanced at the document on the table, picked it up and looked at it: "You were so stupid, so easy to fool."

He thought the little girl was quite clever, so he used a strategy of retreating to advance.

It was so easy to get the little girl to obediently sign the document.

With this written agreement as evidence, I won't be afraid of the little girl rebelling against me in the future.

Last night, I finally managed to get the little girl to go back to the master bedroom on her own, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

Cheng Qing came in carrying the documents and saw Zhan Xiaoling secretly covering her mouth and smiling.

Not wanting to bother him, I stood awkwardly to the side.

This was the first time I'd ever seen Zhan Xiaoling smile so brightly.

Upon noticing Cheng Qing's arrival, Zhan Xiaoling's handsome face immediately turned serious: "What is it?"

Cheng Qing placed the documents on the table: "Young Master, the meeting will begin soon."

Zhan Xiaoling was in a good mood. He got up, shook out his coat, and walked away with light steps.

The company's senior management was already waiting in the conference room.

Upon his arrival, the whispering meeting room instantly fell silent.

At the start of the meeting, senior management reported on the company's performance for the quarter.

Through remote monitoring, Zhan Xiaoling saw Su Xiaonuan lying on the sofa, pouting her little mouth, and occasionally moving her lips.

She must be cursing herself. Su Xiaonuan suddenly stood up from the sofa: "Aunt Guo, when will the locksmith arrive?"

Hearing Su Xiaonuan calling her from the living room, Guo Zilan ran out of the kitchen: "I'll call him now and get things sorted out as soon as possible."

Guo Zilan took her phone and went outside, while Su Xiaonuan continued to lie on the sofa watching TV.

No matter what, I must find someone to open the door to my room today; I cannot allow Zhan Xiaoling to mock and ridicule me.

He clearly got a huge advantage, but then he turned around and demanded that I take responsibility for him.

Another hour passed, and it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Still no locksmith came to the house, so Su Xiaonuan went outside anxiously.

It was too cold. Su Xiaonuan didn't want to wait outside. The chilly wind blew in like sharp knives, slapping against her fair and rosy cheeks.

Su Xiaonuan asked Guo Zilan why the locksmith hadn't come after so long.

Guo Zilan smiled kindly: "Young Madam, I called him."

"Aunt Guo, call him now and ask him if he has time today?" Su Xiaonuan was very anxious.

Guo Zilan immediately took out her phone: "Master, when are you coming to my house?"

An unfamiliar voice came through the phone: "Something came up and I can't come. Please find someone else."

Guo Zilan didn't have time to ask the other party why they hadn't come to her house.

The other party had already hung up the phone. Guo Zilan froze for a few seconds, then slowly raised her head and saw Su Xiaonuan staring at her, waiting for the result.

Dissatisfied with the matter, Guo Zilan awkwardly held her phone and followed behind, asking, "Young Madam, should we ask Luo Jing to go out and look for him?"

"No need," Su Xiaonuan said, getting up to go upstairs.

Guo Zilan continued preparing the dishes in the kitchen, hoping the little girl wouldn't throw a tantrum.

Su Xiaonuan stood in the stairwell on the second floor and saw Guo Zilan go to the kitchen.

They sneaked down the stairwell, took the elevator to the basement, and rummaged through the storage room.

This isn't an important room; the door is usually closed.

Su Xiaonuan searched inside for a while and found a pair of pliers.

Gather all the tools, carry them to your chest, take the elevator to your room door, all you need to do is unlock a lock, right?

The family members are too timid to step forward and open the room for themselves; why not just do it themselves?

Su Xiaonuan took the needle-nose pliers and started to pry open the door, only to find that it was a smart lock that required a password and facial recognition to enter.

She had no idea about the password, so these methods wouldn't work. Su Xiaonuan removed the screws.

I had just removed the first screw when the house alarm went off.

Su Xiaonuan looked up and saw that the alarm was coming from the monitor above her.

Su Xiaonuan put down the pliers in her hand and glared angrily at the alarm: "Stop ringing."

When the alarm goes off, it will attract the housekeepers.

If I get caught, I'll have to call that jerk back home.

She didn't want to continue sleeping in the same bed with Zhan Xiaoling and let that old man laugh at her.

Su Xiaonuan turned and went to the bathroom in the master bedroom. It was very clean and there was nothing inside.

The sirens outside were still blaring. Su Xiaonuan came out and stood in the corridor.

Seeing the pliers on the ground, and with a glimmer of hope and curiosity, he picked them up and threw them at the alarm.

Because the alarm was high up, the needle-nose pliers missed him the first time.

Su Xiaonuan ran over, picked up the needle-nose pliers, aimed, jumped up, and threw them over.

The extremely loud alarm instantly fell silent, and Su Xiaonuan revealed a bright smile: "I'll take you back to the manufacturer for repairs."

When she turned around, she found Luo Jing and Guo Zilan standing behind her.

The three people looked at each other without saying a word.

Su Xiaonuan laughed awkwardly: "Brother Luo, hello Aunt Guo."

Luo Jing glanced at the alarm, stared at her for a few seconds, unsure of what to do.

Guo Zilan stammered, "Young Madam, what are you doing?"

Su Xiaonuan bent down to pick up the needle-nose pliers on the ground, turned her head to look at the alarm she had broken: "It's so noisy, send it back to the manufacturer for repair."

Arriving at his room, he continued removing the remaining screws.

Seeing Su Xiaonuan trying to pry open the door again, Guo Zilan was furious but dared not speak out.

Because she didn't handle things well, she angered the little girl, who actually tried to pry open the door herself.

Luo Jing stood to the side, barely daring to breathe, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and call the young master?"

Guo Zilan glanced at Su Xiaonuan: "Would it be more appropriate for you to do it?"
