Lu Chuanhan's eyebrows moved, and the next second he felt a soft body pressing towards him again.

There were even arms wrapped tightly around his waist.

"Chen Suinian!" Lu Chuanhan said in a deep voice, somewhat displeased.

He was about to push Chen Suinian away, but suddenly he found that the palm pressing on his waist seemed to be trembling slightly.

"What's going on? Was there an unexpected power outage?" Chen Suinian said with a slightly nervous voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuanhan found that although Chen Suinian's voice was calm, there was still some uneasiness in it.

Is she afraid of the dark?

"Yeah." Lu Chuanhan let out a soft response from his throat.

Chen Suinian thought Lu Chuanhan was angry, and realized that her current reaction was a bit inappropriate, so she stiffened her throat and reluctantly added:

"I, I didn't stand firm just now."

Chen Suinian stood up straight, trying to push Lu Chuanhan away and distance himself from him.

At this time, the old house was dark, only the noisy voices of the servants could be heard.

Chen Suinian took a few steps back.

The sudden darkness around her still made her legs feel weak.

What Chen Suinian fears most is this sudden darkness.

Just when she took a deep breath to calm herself down, a warm palm grabbed her.

Lu Chuanhan's arm moved slightly, bringing Chen Suinian back to him again.

Chen Suinian staggered forward a few steps, and the cold fragrance of the person in front of him rushed into his nose.

"Stand still." Lu Chuanhan said slowly.

Chen Suinian's fingertips were ice-cold. He was obviously very frightened, but he still had to pretend to be calm.

"The servants have already gone to find backup power, and it will be restored soon."

Chen Suinian lowered his eyes and stood obediently next to Lu Chuanhan.

She felt the warmth on the back of her hand, spreading bit by bit on her skin.

Boom!Boom!

Perhaps it's because darkness deprives vision, making other senses particularly sharp.

Chen Suinian felt as if there was some sound expanding infinitely in his ears.

At this time, someone around him had already taken out a flashlight to illuminate it. Chen Suinian narrowed his eyes slightly and prepared to take a step back to distance himself from Lu Chuanhan.

But at this time, Lu Chuanhan was still observing his surroundings and didn't pay much attention to the subtle expression on Chen Suinian's face.

Just feeling that she had taken a few steps back when she noticed him, Lu Chuanhan thought that Chen Suinian was still afraid, so he put his arm around her waist and pulled her back into his arms.

"The call should come soon."

Lu Chuanhan even spoke to comfort him, but he didn't notice how close he and Chen Suinian were at this time.

Chen Suinian glanced at Lu Chuanhan with complicated eyes, and said softly: "I'm fine."

Lu Chuanhan looked at Chen Suinian in his arms and realized the intimate gesture between them.

It seemed that as soon as he lowered his head, he could kiss the top of Chen Suinian's hair.

Seeing the light of the flashlight shining towards them, Lu Chuanhan and Chen Suinian stepped back in unison and distanced themselves from each other.

Some things seem to have become tacit secrets in the dark.

Lu Chuanhan closed his palms, and what he suddenly recalled was the soft body in his arms just now.

At this moment, the lights in the living room flickered several times.

Chen Suinian breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought a call was about to come, she suddenly felt a palm touching her back.

The next second she was pushed out hard.

Chen Suinian stumbled forward and hit something with his elbow.

Click!

It seemed like something had broken to the ground.

What a coincidence, the lights in the villa were restored at this time.

Chen Suinian looked down and found that the broken jade sculpture beside his feet was the landscape jade sculpture that Lu Pingzhou had just given to Mrs. Lu.

Not only Chen Suinian, but other people in the Lu family also noticed this scene.

Lu Pingzhou's expression changed instantly.

"what are you doing!"

He rushed over in one stride. If Chen Suinian hadn't dodged in time, he might have been pushed by her and staggered.

Chen Suinian's face became a little gloomy, recalling the person who pushed him from behind just now.

There seemed to be a lingering fragrance on the tip of her nose.

"What kind of peace of mind do you have, you actually broke the things I gave to the old lady!"

The second child's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he stared angrily at Chen Suinian in front of him.

Gradually, his eyes moved to Lu Chuanhan next to him.

Could it be that the couple, Lu Chuanhan and Chen Suinian, joined forces to suppress him?

He gave this jade sculpture so that his son could enter the Lu Group. Now that the jade sculpture is broken, wouldn't everything he did be in vain?

"There's a power outage, why don't you just stand still and still walk around? I think some people are obviously jealous, maybe they do it on purpose."

Lu Xiaoxiao was originally sitting on the sofa full of resentment. Now that she saw Chen Suinian getting into trouble, she immediately became excited and started to add insult to injury.

Facing the suspicions of others, Chen Suinian remained calm. He even walked directly towards the jade sculpture that had fallen to the ground, reached out and picked up a fragment.

As if facing a formidable enemy, Lu Pingzhou walked over to stop Chen Suinian: "Go, go! What else do you want to do!"

He took a deep breath, and just when he was about to use the topic to make trouble for Lu Chuanhan, Chen Suinian's calm voice came slowly.

"This jade carving is fake."

Chen Suinian looked at the jade carving fragments in his hands, frowned and said.

"What did you say?" Lu Pingzhou originally thought proudly that he had caught Lu Chuanhan's hand, but in the end he heard these words.

Lu Pingzhou was stunned for a moment, and then a look of anger appeared on his face:

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a jade sculpture that I spent a lot of effort to buy from a private collector, but in the end you blithely said it was a fake?"

Chen Suinian smiled faintly: "The jade carving you bought for grandma is indeed real. The fake one I said is the one I broke now."

She put the fragments in her hand on the table nearby. "If you don't believe what I say, you can send these fragments for inspection. These are not valuable jade at all. They are dyed with some chemical means."

Chen Suinian could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with these jade stones.

She is still confident about identifying jade.

Lu Pingzhou's face turned pale: "What do you mean..."

In fact, there is no need to take this jade carving out for testing. Since Lu Pingzhou bought this landscape ornament, he has touched it dozens of times a day. He has long been familiar with the texture of jade material.

He had just picked up a few pieces of broken jade and noticed something was wrong.

"There was a sudden power outage in the villa just now. Maybe someone took this opportunity to replace the jade sculpture, and someone pushed me from behind, causing me to accidentally break the jade sculpture."
