Song Yunshu was unusually calm.

Even when facing Huo Cen, she was not inferior.

Huo Cen couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.

After a while, Song Yunshu remained standing in the room in her original position. While Huo Cen leisurely tapped his fingers on the armrest beside him.

After a long time, he put down his legs and stood up.

“Sign it.”

Song Yunshu was stunned for two seconds before she immediately turned around and signed her name on the last page of the document.

Then, she folded the contract and handed it to him with both hands.

“I’ve already signed it.”

Huo Cen did not even look at it. He reached out to take it and walked straight out of the bedroom.

When he stood at the door, he suddenly thought of something and raised his hand to gesture in a certain direction.

“The bathroom is here. Take a shower and sleep.”

With that, he left the room.

When Song Yunshu was alone in the large room, her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the floor.

The floor was covered with a thick carpet, so she did not feel cold even if she stepped on the ground barefooted.

She heaved a sigh of relief only after she sat down. She raised her hand and gently rubbed it against her forehead.

Her hand was covered in a cold sweat.

Huo Cen seemed like an unremarkable person, but in just a short while, she still felt the pressure from someone in a superior position.

Song Yunshu was genuinely afraid that if Huo Cen did not agree to her request, she would not know what to do.

As the saying went, an arm could not win against a thigh.

Her small arms would not be able to resist Huo Cen. If he was really unhappy with her, he could pinch her to death.

After Song Yunshu recovered, she glanced at the only bed in the room.

The feeling of panic did not diminish, but instead intensified.

As soon as she thought about how she and Huo Cen would be living under the same roof for the next period of time, she felt the chill on her back intensify.

After Huo Cen left the room, he went straight to the study next door.

He put the divorce agreement signed by Song Yunshu into the safe under the table in the study.

At the same time, after putting the documents away, his gaze involuntarily fell on another kraft paper bag on the lower level.

He reached out and took out the paper bag, opened the cover page, and took out the documents inside.

Song Yunshu’s name was written on the ultrasound report on the front page.

The date was two days ago, the day Song Yunshu went for a physical examination to confirm her pregnancy.

Huo Cen’s expression was calm as he scanned through the contents of the test report one by one. His expression remained unchanged.

He neatly folded the report and put it back into the safe.

He locked the safe, stood up, and turned off the lights.

He left the study.

All the movements were done in one go.

Everything was quiet as if nothing had happened.

Huo Cen took a quick shower in the bathroom in the corridor on the second floor before returning to the bedroom.

When he returned to his room, it was still quiet.

The light in the direction of the bathroom was on, but no sound came from inside.

Huo Cen walked into the room and listened for a while with a frown.

Seeing that there was still no sound from the bathroom, he walked to the bathroom door.

He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

“Song Yunshu?”

Huo Cen’s voice was as cold as ever, but at the same time, there was a hint of inquiry in it.

“Hey, I’m here.”

Suddenly, the girl’s voice came through the door.

After confirming that she was safe, Huo Cen did not say much and prepared to turn around and walk toward the bed.

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out, he heard the helpless and pitiful voice of the girl in the bathroom again.

“Um, can you borrow a piece of clothing from someone? I don’t have mine here, I forgot…”

When Song Yunshu entered the bathroom, she had completely forgotten that she didn’t have her own clothes here.

At that time, her mind was full of the fact that she would be living under the same roof as Huo Cen tonight. It wasn’t until after she finished her shower that she discovered this terrible fact.

Song Yunshu had been in the bathroom for almost ten minutes now, and the only thing she had on hand was the evening gown from before.

However, her clothes were stained with the smell of smoke and alcohol. Although the length of the towel was just enough to cover her body, she really couldn’t go out like that.

And now, upon hearing Huo Cen’s presence, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw.

She almost knelt to him.

It was still quiet outside the bathroom without any movement or sound.

Song Yunshu waited for a while, but she still didn’t hear any movement outside. She wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked two steps toward the door.

She placed her hand on the doorknob and was about to peek outside. But then, she was suddenly covered by a black object.

“Take it.”
