This night, Cheng Feifei and her mother, could be said to have stayed up all night.

No matter how brave or broad-minded they were, in this small inn, they felt like they were trapped in a cage. Cheng Feifei was originally unfazed, but after her mother Cheng Xiuli repeatedly expressed her doubts, Cheng Feifei also became uncertain.

Who on earth is this Ye Xiao!

Around eight in the morning.

At this moment, Cheng Feifei, who was in the small inn, was even more anxious because, just half an hour ago, someone delivered breakfast to them. However, when Cheng Feifei asked where Ye Xiao was, the person delivering breakfast said that Brother Xiao had gone out for something.

As for what he was doing, the person didn't say a word.

The breakfast was naturally sumptuous, but neither Cheng Feifei nor Cheng Xiuli took a bite. It was a joke; to them, they felt like they were in a den of wolves. How could they have the appetite to eat?

"Mom, don't worry; they probably won't do anything to us." Cheng Feifei tried to reassure her mother.

Cheng Xiuli listened to her daughter's words and couldn't help but sigh. How could she not understand that these were words meant to comfort herself? She didn't respond, only sighed.

In fact, when Cheng Feifei was comforting her mother, she was also reassuring herself. Deep down, she didn't want Ye Xiao to be a villain, but whether Ye Xiao was a good person or not, she couldn't be sure. After all, Ye Xiao still hadn't shown up.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just as Cheng Feifei and her mother were worrying, the door was knocked again.

Cheng Feifei and Cheng Xiuli immediately looked warily towards the door.

"I'll go open the door!" Cheng Feifei said as she stood up.

However, she was pulled back by Cheng Xiuli, who said more cautiously, "Who could it be?"

Obviously, compared to Cheng Xiuli's fear, her daughter, Cheng Feifei, was relatively calm. Perhaps it was because Cheng Feifei was a bit of a troublemaker at school and had seen a lot.

"Mom, it's okay. Whether we open the door or not, it means the same." Cheng Feifei said as she walked directly towards the door.

Hearing her daughter's words, Cheng Xiuli sighed. Obviously, she felt a bit ashamed that her daughter was braver than she was. Moreover, this was, after all, someone else's territory. Even if they didn't open the door, could people not possibly come in?

Cheng Feifei walked to the door. Although she appeared calm as she walked to the door, her heart was pounding. To say she wasn't scared would be a lie.

Cheng Feifei took a long breath and then reached out to open the room door.

The door opened, and a young man wearing a thin black cotton jacket stood at the door, with a sunny smile on his face.

"It's you!" Cheng Feifei looked at the person in front, with a hint of surprise.

"Who else could it be if not me?" Ye Xiao looked at Cheng Feifei with a smile and said, "Have you had breakfast? The breakfast I bought might not be as good as homemade, but in this cold weather, it's good to have some to warm up."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words and looking at his expression, Cheng Feifei felt strange. Just a moment ago, she was thinking about what she'd do if Ye Xiao did intend to harm her.

But now, with Ye Xiao's gentle demeanor, besides being surprised, Cheng Feifei felt nothing else.

"This is..." Cheng Feifei noticed Ye Xiao carrying several bags of clothes and asked curiously.

Ye Xiao said, "Yesterday, I saw Aunt Cheng wearing pajamas. It might be inappropriate to go out like that, so I went out to buy some clothes for Aunt Cheng this morning. I don't know if they're suitable."

"You went out early to buy clothes?" Cheng Feifei said in surprise upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

Ye Xiao replied, "Of course, what else would I be doing out?"

At this moment, Cheng Feifei felt a warmth in her heart. Her earlier wariness of Ye Xiao disappeared.

"Thank you!" Cheng Feifei said.

Ye Xiao heard Cheng Feifei's words, smiled slightly, and then said, "No need for thanks. Just don't be so wary of me. However, going from being cautious to relaxed so quickly isn't good. If you run into someone truly malicious, you could be in trouble."

Hearing this, Cheng Feifei froze. Obviously, she was very curious. How did Ye Xiao know what she was thinking?

Seeing Cheng Feifei's shocked expression, Ye Xiao laughed and jokingly said, "Surprised? I actually have a mind-reading technique."

With Ye Xiao's words, Cheng Feifei was even more stunned, but by then, Ye Xiao had already walked down the corridor, leaving the dazed Cheng Feifei at the door.

Could he really read minds?

Looking at the bags of clothes in her hands, Cheng Feifei at that moment started to seriously doubt Ye Xiao's words.

"Feifei, are you okay?" At this moment, Cheng Xiuli couldn't help but step out and, seeing Cheng Feifei standing at the door, walked over in confusion and asked.

Cheng Feifei was pulled back to reality by her mother's words. She took a step back and quickly closed the door.

"Mom, he's a good person!" Cheng Feifei looked at Cheng Xiuli and said seriously.

Listening to her daughter's out-of-context words, Cheng Xiuli was also a bit puzzled and said, "What are you talking about? What's going on?"

Now Cheng Xiuli also saw the clothes in Cheng Feifei's hands.

Cheng Feifei quickly said, "These are clothes he bought for you. He said he saw you wearing pajamas, so he went out early in the morning to buy these and wants you to see if they fit."

Cheng Xiuli looked at the clothes and felt a bit strange too, but she didn't share Cheng Feifei's sentiment. Instead, her suspicion of Ye Xiao deepened — older people tended to think more than young girls.

However, this time, Cheng Xiuli was overthinking it. Ye Xiao had no ulterior motive; he had simply bought a few clothes. That's all.

Meanwhile, in a certain room at the inn.

"Mr. Xie, sorry for inviting you so early." Ye Xiao sat on a chair, smiling at Xie Jiantao, who stood with Wangg Yin and Zhou Hao.

Ye Xiao had indeed gone out to buy clothes for Cheng Xiuli earlier. At the same time, he had Wangg Yin bring Xie Jiantao to the inn. After all, if Cheng Feifei and her mother didn't see Xie Jiantao, they'd definitely be scared. Ye Xiao didn't want them to suffer unnecessary fear because of their circumstances!

Xie Jiantao, hearing Ye Xiao's words, quickly replied, "Mr. Ye, you're too kind. Mr. Ye, Feifei..."

Clearly, Xie Jiantao's primary concern at this moment was about these people, since Cheng Feifei was his biological daughter.
