Hearing no sound outside the door, Karen was sure Jin Fengnan hadn't followed her, so she pulled out her phone from her bag, "When my brother is asleep, I'll message you, be ready at any time~"
Seeing the last light go out, Li Xi, who was originally in the car, pushed open the door and walked up to the side door. With one pull, he opened it; this was the door Karen had left open for him earlier.
The side door led directly to the kitchen, which was pitch-black. To avoid alerting anyone upstairs, he didn't turn on the light but used his phone's flashlight to guide his way.
Accidentally kicking the recyclable trash can in the kitchen, Li Xi was startled and paused, clutching his chest.
He hadn't expected that a night with Karen would involve such risks. If Jin Fengnan discovered them, it would be quite embarrassing—truly speechless. There could never be a second time; he was here today only because he couldn't refuse her, he thought to himself silently.
