Chapter 279 - Incomplete Shirt

Su Jinyi subconsciously rubbed her eyes, feeling like she was a helpless child for a moment.

After so many years, she thought she was already strong enough.

When he lost his mother, when his fiancé was taken away by his sister, when he was abandoned by the Su family, when he thought it was all a scam to fall in love, when he endured the pain of going to the hospital alone at night, when he was almost raped, even when he was mistaken for the murderer …

She had relied on a power that she could not even imagine to withstand so many difficult times, but in this one second, she still felt that her life had suffered too many hardships and did not want to continue …

Su Jinyi gave herself three minutes.

Within three minutes, she was standing there with her eyes closed, trying to calm her heart.

Very quickly, she opened her eyes. Like countless times in the past, she chose to face the complexity of life head on.

She stepped forward, put the button in her hand, and studied it for a moment.

In her memories, she had probably seen this button before, but she really couldn't think of which piece of clothing was He Ruiting's.

She had no choice but to start rummaging through the wardrobe.

Although He Ruiting advocated simplicity, but there were quite a few clothes, with just the shirts, there were already more than a hundred of them.

Su Jinyi rummaged for a while and finally found the same button on a shirt!

She carefully removed the shirt and soon found that the second button was missing.

Then, she placed the button on the second button on the bathroom table. It fit perfectly.

This button was the one that fell from this shirt.

Su Jinyi held the button in her hand, placed the shirt back into the wardrobe, and left He Ruiting's room.

In the middle of the night, when He Ruiting returned from Fang Yuesheng's family dinner, he was thinking about how to deal with this troublesome old cunning fox.

When he passed by Su Jinyi's room, he did not even pause like usual.

He was such a man – the more brutal and dangerous the situation, the more it would arouse his fighting spirit.

However, when he returned to his room, he felt that something was wrong.

He Ruiting was a very sensitive person, and also one with extremely strong logical thinking.

He was extremely rational, yet extremely emotional. He had an extraordinary sixth sense —

He felt as if someone had come into his room.

Although the Nanny Lin would help him clean the room everyday, the feeling was completely different now.

He Ruiting sat on the sofa and looked around. After a while, the uneasy feeling disappeared.

After a simple wash, he laid down on the bed, but he could not sleep at night.

The threat that Fang Yuesheng posed made him nervous and he didn't dare to relax even a bit.

How could he prevent Su Jinyi from getting hurt, was what he cared about the most.

After an unknown period of time, he finally fell asleep.

He Ruiting had only slept for two hours before he woke up. It was already early in the morning, and the outside window was half dark.

He remembered his dress, but it was different from the rest of the clothes in the closet.

He Ruiting walked closer and frowned slightly. At first glance, this blue shirt looked nothing, but upon closer inspection, he realized that every button on the shirt had been meticulously fastened.

But his other shirts were hanging on hangers, unbuttoned.

He Ruiting realized that someone had touched the shirt before, and it confirmed the feeling he had felt earlier that someone had entered the house.

When he finished dressing and walked downstairs to eat breakfast, Su Jinyi still had not made a move, as if he was still holed up in his room.

"Nanny Lin, go call my wife for me." He Ruiting ordered as he was eating breakfast.

"... "Alright." Although Nanny Lin was curious, she still agreed immediately.

She went to the second floor and knocked on Su Jinyi's door.

"Madame, sir has called you down for breakfast."

Su Jinyi had already woken up. When she heard the voice of the Nanny Lin, she was shocked and quickly replied, "I'm still not up. I'll go down later."

"But …" Nanny Lin stood outside the door, he did not know why, but he did not leave. It was as if he was waiting for Su Jinyi to change his mind.

Su Jinyi who was in the room could not help but frown as he listened attentively to the commotion outside.

She finally knew why He Ruiting had sent the Nanny Lin to call her.

Firstly, she was extremely courteous to the Nanny Lin and could not bear to make things difficult for the elderly.

Secondly, Nanny Lin always had a beginning and an end to their work, so they had to complete the mission no matter what.

And right now, her mission was to successfully call Su Jinyi downstairs.

Su Jinyi, who had understood this, shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to open the door and say to Nanny Lin: "I will go down immediately.

"Then I'll wait here for my wife." Nanny Lin smiled gently.

The current Su Jinyi really wanted to roar at He Ruiting.

Because she did not want him to make things difficult for an old man because of the matter between the two of them.

After being in love with He Ruiting for so many years, Su Jinyi had never once lost to him.

Although she went downstairs, and knew that He Ruiting wanted to make her go downstairs, she did not take the initiative to speak.

After all, the thought of the button and the shirt was overwhelming.

As he sat on the table, Su Jinyi continued to eat her breakfast as if nothing had happened. She did not even look in He Ruiting's direction as she stared at the food in front of him.

She did not have much appetite, so it didn't take her long to be full.

"Nanny Lin, I won't help you pack up today. I still have things to do, so I'll head upstairs first."

With that, she smiled at Nanny Lin and prepared to walk up the stairs.

She could not understand how her husband had managed to get his wife to come downstairs for dinner, but they were sitting on either side of the table like strangers, not a word of conversation.

Why is that?

He Ruiting still did not react as he calmly drank the porridge.

But just when Su Jinyi was about to circle behind him and leave, he finally made his move.

"Jin Yi." He let out a low cry.

Just as Su Jinyi walked behind him, it was impossible for him to pretend that he did not hear it.

"What's the matter?" She could only respond concisely.

Undeniably, Su Jinyi was very surprised to hear this.

She couldn't imagine how He Ruiting found out …
