Xiao Lin said, "Young Master, I took the photos and am sending them to you now."
He hung up first and immediately sent the photos to Tianyi's phone.
When he checked Tianyi's two pieces of clothing, he actually found them to be dirty and unwashed. He could smell them without getting close, and the odor made him feel nauseous.
The Young Master was a germaphobe. How could his own dirty clothes be left in Miss Sophie's room? He thought about it and couldn't help but suspect that the Young Master might have done something wrong while not in his right mind.
Alas, he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the photos on his phone.
"What are you looking at so intently?" Xiao Mei quietly walked up to him and patted him.
Xiao Lin quickly closed his phone and looked at her, saying, "Why aren't you busy in the kitchen at this hour? Haven't the evening meals been prepared?"
Xiao Mei had seen Xiao Lin holding his phone and staring blankly by the car at the entrance from the living room. She came out and walked up to him without him noticing, feeling that there must be something on his phone and determined to grab it to see.
"Don't change the subject. What were you looking at on your phone just now? Let me see too."
Xiao Lin clutched his phone and put it in his pocket, saying, "I wasn't looking at anything, just some matters the Young Master instructed me on."
When Xiao Mei heard it was something the Young Master had instructed, she stopped trying to snatch his phone and asked, "Is the Young Master coming back for dinner tonight? Did he argue with the Young Madam again?"
"I'm not sure." Xiao Lin shook his head blankly.
Xiao Mei complained, "You follow the Young Master in and out all day, how can you not know anything?"
"I can't manage the Young Master's affairs." Xiao Lin scratched his head and said, "Is there anything you need my help with? How about I help you pick vegetables?"
"No." Xiao Mei asked him again, "Then are you unable to manage it, or do you not know if they argued?"
Xiao Lin, cornered, had no choice but to say, "They probably argued."
"Alas, asking you is useless." Xiao Mei said, preparing to go back into the house.
Xiao Lin suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Last time the Young Master gave me two movie tickets. When do you have time? Shall we go see a movie?"
Xiao Mei glanced around shyly. Seeing no one, she let him hold her hand, lowered her eyes, and smiled, saying, "I'm so busy every day now, where would I find time for a movie? We'll talk about it later."
"We can watch the midnight show," Xiao Lin suggested. "By then, the Young Master and Miss will be asleep, and we can sneak out to watch the last show."
"Then I'll probably fall asleep in the cinema," Xiao Mei said with a smile.
"It's okay, the chairs in the cinema are comfortable. You can lean on me and sleep, I'll be your pillow," Xiao Lin also smiled at her.
Xiao Mei forcefully pulled her hand back, but her heart felt sweet as she said, "We'll see. Didn't the Young Master assign you something? Aren't you going to do it?"
"Then it's settled. I'll tell you the specific time after I exchange the tickets for the midnight show."
Xiao Mei nodded quickly and also went to get busy.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask her, "By the way, do you usually see Miss Sophie and... and the Young Master interacting?"
Xiao Mei stared at him blankly, not understanding why he would ask that. She said, "No. When the Young Madam isn't around, she sometimes eats with the Young Master and plays with the children."
"Oh, then it's nothing." Xiao Lin said, preparing to contact his friends at the bodyguard company.
Xiao Mei asked curiously, "Could it be that the Young Master and Miss Sophie have something..."
"No, no, I was just asking casually."
Xiao Mei didn't believe he was asking casually. She remembered something and said, "But I've noticed that when the Young Master isn't here, Miss Sophie doesn't eat much at night and doesn't like to spend time with the children. When the Young Master is here, she's particularly attentive. Also, she likes to wander around the kitchen and living room at night wearing very thin pajamas. I've encountered her once or twice. Once, it was so late that it scared me, and I almost thought it was a female ghost."
Xiao Lin listened to her and thought that no matter what the Young Master meant, it seemed Miss Sophie was definitely interested in the Young Master.
Xiao Mei boldly guessed, "Did Miss Sophie seduce the Young Master?"
At that time, she had wondered who Miss Sophie was dressing so thinly at night for. The men in the house were only the Young Master and Xiao Lin.
But Xiao Lin didn't live in the villa at night; he slept in the garage. So, it could only be the Young Master.
Xiao Lin still said he didn't know, but he reminded her, "Now that Aunt Chen is gone, if the Young Master and Young Madam are sometimes not home at night, and only you and Miss Sophie are at home, you should pay more attention to any strange behavior from her, and be careful yourself."
Xiao Mei hummed in agreement and said, "Okay. Honestly, you don't know anything. Those who don't know would think you're working in intelligence. You should be careful when you do things for the Young Master."
Xiao Lin pulled Xiao Mei and quickly kissed her on the cheek, then let go immediately.
Xiao Mei ran back into the house quickly, her cheeks flushed, not daring to look back at Xiao Lin.
After Xiao Mei went to get busy, Xiao Lin collected his thoughts and proceeded with Tianyi's instructions. It seemed Miss Sophie was indeed problematic.
...
Tianyi had a busy day. As night fell, Xiao Anjing entered his office again without knocking.
"Here are all the surveillance videos from backstage at last night's press conference. Take a look." Xiao Anjing placed a USB drive on his desk.
Tianyi didn't rush to watch it and asked, "Why haven't you left work yet?"
"You haven't left either. With the enemy at the gates, of course, I have to work overtime with you." An Jing sat in the chair in front of his desk and crossed his legs.
Tianyi raised an eyebrow and smiled at him, saying, "I plan to work overtime here all night. Are you really going to accompany me?"
"All night?" An Jing reacted and said, "Did you argue with Susu again over a few photos?"
"No, I just want to clarify some things." Tianyi looked at him and asked, "What do you think a woman's mentality is when she hides a man's clothes, even his underwear, under her pillow without the man's knowledge?"
An Jing let out a loud whistle and said, "Of course, she's fantasizing about that man. Who stole your underwear?"
"It's not mine," Tianyi denied with a cold face. An Jing's reminder made him realize that the clothes in Sophie's room were likely stolen by Sophie.
An Jing wasn't intimidated by his cold demeanor and teased him, "I only knew that some men have this kind of fetish. I didn't expect your charm to be so great that it could make women develop this kind of fetish. Who is it?"
"It's nothing. You can go now."
An Jing stood up but had no intention of leaving, wishing he could sit on his desk and said, "Besides Susu, I haven't seen any other women around you. Who else could be stealing your clothes and underwear? Oh, could it be your housekeeper, or Xiao Mei?"
Tianyi's face darkened. He didn't answer at all, picked up the USB drive, and prepared to view its contents.
