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

"Xu Cheng, I need you to help me investigate something that happened fourteen years ago." Yu Yunting, wearing a bathrobe, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the large trees and lake in the distance.

No. 16 Yunsong Bay is situated on high ground in this bay area, so even from the second floor, he could see the pine and sycamore trees outside, as well as Yunsong Lake not far away. However, night had already fallen, and the lake looked pitch black, with only a few faint lights dotting the lakeside.

"Okay, boss, what would you like to check?" Xu Cheng's voice came from the phone.

"I want to know, fourteen years ago, around July, which of the Jian sisters went missing at Maple Mountain?"

"Fourteen years ago... that's too long a time; it might take some time. Otherwise, my work..."

"You need to continue following up on the projects you're currently working on."

"Oh……"

"There's no rush. Once the collaboration you're in charge of is progressing smoothly, I'll approve a few days off for you."

"Okay, I'll try to find out more about it when I have some free time."

"Wait, there's one more thing I'd like you to check." Yu Yunting gripped his phone tightly. "I want to know if Jian Aiying has a small red birthmark near her armpit."

"Who?"

"Jane Eileen's older sister."

"Oh...I understand." Although he had never met this person before, Xu Cheng knew that she was the boss's deceased fiancée.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Yunting looked at his furrowed brows reflected in the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Was this a trap set for him by Jane Ailing?

Were those photos arranged by someone beforehand?

Yu Yunting frowned and fell into deep thought.

Even if she had the photos displayed, the content of those photos couldn't be faked. He had met both sisters; the little girl with the bright smile and the peace sign bore a resemblance to her now.

She also resembles the girl he met at Maple Mountain in his memory.

In the photo of the three siblings, Jian Aiying is indeed standing in the middle, and Jian Ailing is standing next to her. Although the two sisters look somewhat alike, their differences are still quite obvious when they stand together.

The girl in the middle of the photo was wearing a vest dress, and logically speaking, if she really had that small red birthmark, the dress couldn't have completely covered it.

Could it be that Jane Ailing photoshopped it? She's a photographer herself, so she's very good at this kind of thing.

Even if the photos can be faked, and Jason's testimony can be pre-arranged, what about the red string?

It couldn't be that she put it in the bottom drawer beforehand, knowing he would definitely open it, could it?

If she really intended to display that red string, she should have placed it in a more conspicuous place.

Or perhaps even if he didn't actively open the drawer, Jane Ailing had already prepared another script to make that red rope appear before her eyes?

But the probability of him entering her room was extremely low. He had visited the Jian family very few times, and had never stepped into her room.

She couldn't possibly prepare all of this after the wedding, waiting for him to one day walk into her room and "discover the truth," could she?

Yu Yunting looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass again, a rare look of confusion and bewilderment appearing in his amber eyes.

But as she said, he may already have his own answer in his heart.

He just didn't know whether he should trust his intuition; he had always been someone who liked to look at evidence before making a conclusion.

A knock on the door behind him suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and Jane Ailing walked into the room.

She changed into a set of short-sleeved pajamas and long pants, wrapping herself up completely.

Those big, dark eyes held a hint of unease and caution, making them completely different from the carefree, smiling little girl in the photo with her eyes squinted.

This was the first time Yu Yunting had called her over since she was kicked out of the room last time.

At this moment, Jian Ailing felt somewhat lost, but she knew she couldn't disobey him anymore. Especially after telling him such a big lie, she still felt a little guilty facing Yu Yunting.

"I'm not feeling well today. If you'd like, I can use my hand or..." Jian Ailing lowered her head, walked up to Yu Yunting, and reached out to untie his bathrobe.

"No need." Yu Yunting held her hand, stopping her from moving.

Jane looked up at him with some confusion.

"It's late, let's go to sleep." After saying that, Yu Yunting turned around, changed his clothes, walked to the bedside, and lifted the blanket.

Jane stared at him blankly, then followed him to the bedside.

What does that mean?

Did I specifically call her over just to sleep?

Forget it, this is easier for her.

Jane Ailing also lifted the other side of the blanket and slowly lay down.

Yu Yunting raised his hand and turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness in an instant. After a while, Jian Ailing slowly began to notice the faint moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains.

His bed is so big that if two people sleep at each end, as long as they don't snore, it can even be used as two single beds.

Jane heard some noises coming from the other side, and then his large hand grasped hers.

Yu Yunting pulled her forcefully into his arms.

When I crashed into his chest again, he no longer felt as dangerous and terrifying as before; instead, he appeared calm with a hint of unease.

"Jane Ailing, can I trust you?" Yu Yunting lowered his head, burying his face in her hair. The familiar, faint fragrance wafted into his nose, a long-lost feeling that made his body relax without him even realizing it.

Jane swallowed hard. She was already feeling guilty for lying, and now that he asked her that question, her heart started racing even more.

"...What do you mean?"

"Everything. The things I saw in your room, the things you said, the promises you made to me."

"Hmm..." Jane buried her face in his clothes, not giving a very direct answer to the question.

Yu Yunting stroked her hair and quickly closed his eyes.

Jane turned over, found a comfortable position, and slowly fell asleep.

In the past few days, Jian Ailing had a feeling that Yu Yunting's attitude towards her had subtly improved.

Although the change wasn't very obvious, as the person involved, she could still sense it to some extent. For example, he came home for dinner more often and would also take the initiative to care about her work and life.

But Jane always tried to reduce her contact with him, intentionally or unintentionally, because only she knew that she was just a Cinderella wearing fake glass slippers.

The older sister impersonated that girl, and now she's been exposed. It's only a matter of time before she's exposed again for impersonating her.

At that time, Jane Ailing could not imagine the fury that Yu Yunting would feel.
