Yang Fan was admiring the plants in the attic when he received a message from Little Mother.
"Turn off the light and find a place to hide for now."
Yang Fan did as he was told but still had some doubts in his mind.
He was really starting to suspect that his guess might be spot on.
Perhaps Little Mother really wanted him to force himself on his sister-in-law, to turn something tentative into a fait accompli.
But, Yang Fan didn't have the audacity to do it like Little Mother did.
He was very worried that his sister-in-law would get angry and run away from home, disappearing into the vast sea of people.
Ye Tong wasn't bound by any marriage engagement; there was only a verbal promise.
If she chose to leave, there would be nothing holding her back. One step, one lift of her leg, and she'd be gone.
As Yang Fan felt uneasy and tense, a series of footsteps came from the old hallway and at the same time, he received another text from Little Mother.
