"What's wrong?"
Seeing Ethan Jiang staring at her with a flushed face, Tina Shen looked at him suspiciously.
Although you are the kind of man I wouldn't even dare to disrespect in bed…
But the look in your eyes right now definitely feels like you have some ulterior motive.
Girls have to protect themselves when they're alone out here.
Key point: Don't let a man get ideas about your body!
"It's nothing."
Suppressing his flustered heart, Ethan Jiang's expression remained indifferent, his tone cold, though his slightly unsteady speech betrayed him. "Go get some rest."
With that, he stood up and walked toward the bedroom on the second floor.
What's wrong with him? This doesn't seem like a typical mood swing... Tina Shen furrowed her brows.
Something felt off about Ethan Jiang's behavior.
She followed him upstairs and asked, "Brother, where should I sleep tonight?"
Last time, when she had gotten drunk, she ended up in Ethan Jiang's bed.
Even if she was willing, he definitely wouldn't be.
"There are plenty of rooms."
Ethan Jiang's heart jolted, and he nearly lost control of his expression. His handsome, cold face showed clear signs of emotional turmoil. "You can wash up in my room first."
"Okay."
Tina Shen didn't think much of it and followed him into the master bedroom, heading straight to the bathroom.
As the sound of water filled the room, Ethan Jiang grew anxious again, his thoughts scattered. His face reddened.
He got up and took out the sleepwear he had bought earlier that day when he had gone shopping with his mother and mother-in-law.
He hesitated for a moment before walking to the bathroom door, wondering whether to knock.
Then…
"Brother, I don't have any clothes to change into."
At the sound of Tina Shen's voice, Ethan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "I bought some for you."
"Thanks."
The door opened, and Tina Shen reached out to take the sleepwear.
After a quick shower, her exhaustion faded significantly.
When she emerged from the bathroom, she saw Ethan Jiang leaning against the bedhead, looking at his tablet. Tina Shen casually asked, "What are you looking at?"
"The company reports." Ethan Jiang lowered his tablet.
"I'm going to bed." Tina Shen turned and walked out of the room.
Watching Tina Shen's retreating figure, Ethan Jiang let out a quiet sigh.
He had been nervous that she would insist on staying, and he wouldn't know what to do.
But after the tension eased, a feeling of loss crept into his heart.
What's wrong with me… Ethan Jiang froze in confusion!
Tina Shen found a guest room and decided to rest. She had no idea that Ethan Jiang's mind was in turmoil.
Exhausted, she quickly fell asleep and woke up to the morning sunlight streaming into the bedroom.
Every morning, Tina Shen thanked the heavens for giving her another beautiful day and cherished each moment of her new life.
Then a problem arose—how should she wash up?
Tina Shen groaned in annoyance, stepping out of the room.
She hesitated for a moment outside the master bedroom before opening the door and walking in.
By coincidence, Ethan Jiang had just woken up.
He was lazily stretching, the thick blanket slipping off to reveal his toned figure, his strong neck accentuating his masculine physique.
His messy hair framed his sharp, handsome face, and he rubbed his lips with his large hand, yawning.
Tina Shen stood frozen, staring at Ethan Jiang.
He had looked handsome as a boy, but now, as he matured, he had become even more striking.
Ethan Jiang shot Tina Shen a cold look, his handsome face like a layer of frost.
He was angry, and he was the kind of angry that wouldn't be easily soothed!
"Uh!"
Tina Shen awkwardly smiled. "Brother, I just wanted to wash up."
"Okay."
Ethan Jiang nodded, his face clearing up as he understood. "Go ahead."
Realizing her mistake, he understood that his sister wasn't trying to sneak a peek.
After Tina Shen finished washing up and came out, Ethan Jiang began thinking about buying some new toiletries. This routine wouldn't do for long.
As she entered the living room, Tina Shen realized there was still time before she needed to leave for work. Feeling a bit hungry, she made some congee, fried eggs, and prepared a few light appetizers.
Just as she was setting the food on the table, Ethan Jiang entered the living room.
"Breakfast is ready."
Tina Shen waved at him as she sat down to eat.
Ethan Jiang glanced at the simple meal on the table. Since taking over his father's company, he had rarely eaten breakfast.
The plain food warmed his stomach as he took a bite.
The light in his eyes softened, a subtle tenderness appearing.
Noticing Ethan Jiang watching her, Tina Shen looked back at him.
Ethan Jiang lowered his head.
The softness of him looking down was like the warmth of the sun melting the chill of winter!
As she left the villa, Tina Shen's mind was filled with questions.
Since last night, she felt that Ethan Jiang had changed. He wasn't as distant anymore.
How should she describe it?
It was as though he had suddenly become a gentle puppy.
And everyone knew that beneath a gentle exterior, there could be burning passion!
Tina Shen took a taxi straight to the Criminal Investigation Detachment. There was no need for her to report in; her reassignment to the special task force was well-known.
When she arrived at the team, Eric Niu and the others had already gathered.
The group headed straight to the victims' neighborhood to investigate the three new suspects.
The young woman was quickly ruled out.
Next, the middle-aged man was also cleared of suspicion.
Finally, the gardener was questioned and eliminated from the list of suspects.
This meant that the killer had likely acted alone.
But how had they brought the murder weapon in?
That afternoon, as Tina Shen sat in the victim's home, she stared at the gruesome bloodstained scene on the wall.
Why must I resort to abnormal methods to unravel this?
Tina Shen's face gradually became cold and resolute as her mind shifted into high gear.
What if… I'm the killer!
