After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

That night, Yu Yunting forcibly carried her back to his room, and they spent such a crazy night together... It's entirely possible that the earring was left in his room.

It's still early, he shouldn't be back yet.

Jane decided to go to his room to look for him.

She closed her own door and tiptoed to the room next door.

She was the only person on the second floor; there was absolutely no need for her to be so secretive.

Jane Ailing pushed open Yu Yunting's door and then gently closed it again.

Even though she knew he wouldn't be back anytime soon, her heart was still racing.

After all, Yu Yunting had warned her not to enter his room casually.

There was definitely none on the bed. Jane lay on the carpet, looked under the bed and at the table, then went to look at the sofa and the small table.

But it seems there's nowhere to be found.

Jane was somewhat unwilling to give up. She turned on her phone's flashlight, knelt down on the ground again, and carefully examined the underside of the large bed, inch by inch.

"What are you doing?" A male voice suddenly rang out behind her, startling Jian Ailing so much that her head hit the corner of the bed.

"Ouch..." She clutched her head in pain, and after a while, she slowly turned around and looked up at Yu Yunting.

Yu Yunting stood behind the door, taking off his watch while looking down at her.

"I...I came to look for something." There was no point in hiding it. Jane Ailing stared at him wide-eyed. "Have you seen my yellow earring?"

"Last time... it must have disappeared when I stayed overnight here." She raised her head high, her doe eyes looking clear and lively, but also seemingly mixed with a bit of helplessness.

"Never seen it before," Yu Yunting replied without hesitation.

As he spoke, he walked into the room, placing his tie and watch on the table.

Seeing that Yu Yunting didn't ask her to leave, Jian Ailing braced herself and searched boldly again. She found that there was indeed nothing under the bed, and then got up somewhat resentfully to leave.

"Where are you going to wear earrings?" Yu Yunting suddenly asked.

"Uh... I just told my mom I'll be home for dinner tomorrow." Jian Ailing turned to look at the man sitting on the sofa. "I'll be going now."

"I'll go with you."

Jane Ailing was stunned.

If she had visited Minghua Villa only a handful of times during their years of marriage, then Yu Yunting had visited her home even fewer times.

Jane Ailing hadn't expected him to offer to go back with her.

"What, you don't welcome me?" Seeing that she didn't answer, he asked again with a mocking tone.

"That's not what I meant." Jane Ailing's expression quickly returned to normal. "Then I'll tell Mom to prepare more food for tomorrow."

Could it be... that Yu Yunting is worried that if he returns to the Jian family, he might run into Zhou Ze'an?

After all, Zhou Ze'an and Jian Sen had a good relationship, so it wasn't surprising that he appeared at the Jian family home. It was because Zhou Ze'an often visited the Jian family home since he was a child that Jian Ailing gradually became familiar with him.

But she didn't dare ask him why. Unless absolutely necessary, Jian Ailing felt she shouldn't bring up Zhou Ze'an's name in front of Yu Yunting, lest she upset him.

Jian Ailing, who had just recovered, still looked a little haggard. Before heading back to the Jian family, she took some time to put on makeup.

With Yu Yunting also coming tonight, she could already imagine that her family would be on high alert.

When Jian Ailing told Wang Shuqin on the phone that he was coming with her, she felt that her mother took several seconds to process it.

It wouldn't be good for them to go to the Jian family separately, so Jian Ailing and Yu Yunting agreed to go to Tianheng headquarters to find him first, and then go together.

Last time, Jian Ailing registered at the front desk as a supplier before going upstairs. This time, she couldn't very well say that she was there to see Yu Yunting, so she simply didn't go upstairs and took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot to wait for him.

Looking at the time, Yu Yunting realized it was almost time to get off work.

Jane asked Xu Cheng where his car was parked, and then planned to walk over to the Bentley to wait for him.

But as she walked toward the car, Jane saw a man and a woman talking.

The two looked somewhat familiar, and she had to get closer to see clearly that they were Zeng Ying and Xiao Lin.

It wasn't yet time to leave work, and in the quiet parking lot, even the slightest sound was amplified. Zeng Ying heard her footsteps and turned around warily to look at her.

Upon seeing that the person who came was Jian Ailing, Zeng Ying was initially surprised, then curled the corners of her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.

She walked toward Jane Ailing, her high heels making a crisp sound in the empty parking lot.

"The brand department doesn't have any shooting work today, right? What are you doing here?"

Ever since that day at the party, Zeng Ying seems to have stopped pretending in front of her.

"We are waiting for Yu Yunting." Jian Ailing's tone was also not very good.

"Heh, you got caught flirting with Zhou Ze'an, and now you're begging for your brother's forgiveness?" Zeng Ying sized her up. "I didn't expect that you, who look so innocent on the outside, are actually such a promiscuous woman at heart."

"I didn't..." Jane Ailing subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after a moment she gave a self-deprecating laugh and turned her head to the side.

Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to explain. The Yu family simply harbored a deep prejudice against her; whatever she did was wrong. Even if she tried to explain earnestly, they probably wouldn't listen.

"Zeng Ying, I don't understand why you're so hostile towards me?" Although she hadn't seen Zeng Ying often during the years she'd been married to Yu Yunting, Zeng Ying always addressed her as "sister-in-law" very politely and behaved very properly. Even though Zeng Ying sometimes spoke in a way similar to Jiang Yurong, often using sarcastic or sarcastic remarks, their overall relationship was peaceful.

Why did she suddenly lock herself in that small room? I clearly didn't provoke her that day.

"Hmph..." Zeng Ying sneered, not answering her question directly, "I just don't want to see you in Tianheng Building. This is my place."

"Your place?" Jane Ailing found it somewhat amusing. "I'm here to work. You're making it sound like I'm trying to take something from you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ailing could sense that Zeng Ying's expression changed slightly and became very ugly.

A series of past events suddenly flashed through her mind, and Jane Ailing stared wide-eyed, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

The day Zeng Ying locked her at the construction site, she happened to be in Yu Yunting's office fulfilling their "agreement." She didn't go into the meeting room, but had she already discovered something?

And then there were the times she'd intentionally or unintentionally flaunted in front of her that Yu Yunting was willing to buy her lots of expensive jewelry. At the time, Jian Ailing thought she was trying to express how much her brother doted on her. Now, thinking about it carefully, could she have meant something else entirely?

Jane Ailing and Jane Sen have always had a simple brother-sister relationship. She has never had any romantic feelings for her brother, so she has never thought about the relationship between the Yu family siblings in that way.

However, the Yu family's situation was more complicated than hers. Zeng Ying was only the Yu family's adopted daughter and had no blood relation with Yu Yunting.

Could it be that she...
