The whole bungalow was eerily quiet.
Tang Nuan's heart squeezed. Like a thief, her footsteps became more careful.
When she reached the bottom of the steps leading to the front door, the phone in her bag suddenly rang. In the quiet bungalow, the sound was particularly piercing.
Tang Nuan quickly pulled out her phone from her bag. She was just about to turn it on silent when she heard the woman's voice coming from inside the house. "Who is it?"
Tang Nuan was so scared that she held her breath. She didn't dare answer as she hastened her steps toward the door.
Just as she walked into the courtyard, the street lamps in the courtyard lit up in unison, and the electric gate to the courtyard, which had been left open, slowly closed.
Tang Nuan looked around in panic. Before the door behind her was pushed open, she quickly turned around and walked toward the front door in a leisurely manner.
Since the woman inside the house had noticed that someone was in the yard, if she insisted on walking toward the front door, she would only let the woman know that she had heard her talking on the phone.
Therefore, the best solution was to pretend that she had just arrived and meet the woman like she hadn't heard anything.
Tang Nuan tried her best to calm herself down. When she reached the steps leading to the front door, it was pushed open from inside, and the woman's carefully drawn face appeared.
Tang Nuan didn't wait for the woman to speak. She smiled at her and greeted her politely as usual, "Hello."
The woman stood at the front door with one hand on the wall. She stared at Tang Nuan's face for a long time like she was studying something.
Tang Nuan tried her best to maintain the calmness on her face.
After about half a minute, the woman said gently, "You're here."
"Yes." Tang Nuan smiled again.
The woman saw her smile and returned her smile. She turned to the side to let Tang Nuan into the house. "Come on in."
Tang Nuan was afraid that the woman would see through her act, so she walked up the steps without hesitation and entered the house.
The woman tossed her a pair of slippers and walked toward the dining room. About two minutes later, she returned with two cups of steaming water. She saw Tang Nuan standing at the front door and smiled softly. She pointed at the sofa and said, "Have a seat."
"Thank you." After a pause, Tang Nuan walked forward and sat down.
The woman placed a glass of water gently in front of Tang Nuan. She gestured for Tang Nuan to drink before pointing at the direction of the bathroom. She stood up and walked in.
The woman stayed in the bathroom for a long time before she came out.
She walked to the sofa and glanced at the cold water in front of Tang Nuan. "Why aren't you drinking it?"
Tang Nuan smiled and shook her head gracefully. "I'm not thirsty."
The woman smiled as if she believed him. She didn't say anything and sat down in front of Tang Nuan in a dignified manner.
The room was silent for about ten minutes before Tang Nuan asked, "Are you looking for me because of Song Qingchun?"
After a pause, Tang Nuan added, "Don't worry, I promise you'll hear the good news tomorrow night."
"That's great." The woman picked up the glass of water before her and took a sip. After she put the glass down, she turned around and smiled at Tang Nuan.
She seemed to be satisfied with Tang Nuan's promise, and the light at the bottom of her eyes was gentle.
