Su Kaiming wasn't too harsh on Su Rou. He didn't lock her in a dark room. The bed in the bedroom wasn't very fancy, but it was at least bearable to sleep on.
Su Rou sized up the bedroom. It was in the suburbs, and it was still early. If she ran along the direction of the streetlights, she might be able to hail a taxi on the main road.
Su Kaiming watched her as she looked around the room. Then he closed the door tightly. "Get a good sleep. Tomorrow... everything will come to light."
Su Rou didn't say a word. After Su Kaiming closed the bedroom door, she tiptoed to the door and pressed her ear against the door panel, listening intently for any movement outside.
It was nine o'clock at night. Normal people would be going to bed at this time. Su Rou listened for a while but heard nothing. After thinking for a moment, she decided to wait a bit longer.
There was a big clock on the bedroom wall. Su Rou stared at the time, waiting impatiently. When the clock showed nine forty, she heard Su Kaiming's footsteps approaching. Without hesitation, Su Rou lifted the covers and got into bed, then turned off the bedside lamp.
Creak—
The bedroom door opened. Su Kaiming peeked in and saw the darkness. "Asleep? That saves me some trouble..." After saying that, Su Kaiming closed the door.
Su Rou opened her eyes. The suburbs had one good thing: it was quiet. She could hear even the slightest sound. She heard Su Kaiming's footsteps outside. After a few steps, there was a soft sound of a door closing.
Su Rou sat up in bed and listened carefully. There was indeed no sound outside. It seemed that Su Kaiming had gone to sleep.
"If only I had gotten my driver's license after high school..." Su Rou murmured softly. Then she walked gently to the door and opened it as slowly as possible without making a sound.
It was pitch - black outside. Su Rou opened the door and walked out. All she had to do now was cross the living room and get out of the front door! She didn't even dare to turn on the light and could only feel her way forward in the dark.
But when she passed by the living room, there was unexpectedly a dark figure on the sofa. Su Rou stopped in her tracks. Just as she was about to see what it was, the figure moved slightly and said, "Xiaorou, where are you going so late at night?"
As the figure's voice fell, the door of the living room was opened. Su Rou was suddenly blinded by the strong light and squinted her eyes slightly. It took her a while to slowly open her eyes and look at Su Kaiming sitting on the sofa.
"You're not asleep?" Then what was that sound of the door closing she heard just now?
"How could I sleep?" Su Kaiming curled his lips. "Besides, if I fell asleep, wouldn't you just run away?"
Su Rou squinted her eyes slightly. "You're so cunning."
"Not at all. After you outsmarted me at the old mansion, I had to be on guard against you." Su Kaiming changed his posture and said leisurely, "As for the sound of the door closing just now, it was me closing the refrigerator door."
"..."
"How could I possibly let you go?"
Su Rou knew that she couldn't escape tonight. She bit her lip. There was no other way! Maybe she should take a gamble. She looked at Su Kaiming and then at the front door not far away. Then she suddenly ran towards it.
"!" Su Kaiming seemed to be caught off guard by Su Rou's sudden move. He paused for a moment before reacting. He jumped up from the sofa and chased after Su Rou.
Su Rou's hand had already touched the doorknob. She turned it hard and found that the door was locked. She unlocked it. Just then, Su Kaiming was almost upon her. Su Rou noticed a pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet beside her. They were Su Kaiming's. Without thinking, she picked them up and threw them at Su Kaiming.
Su Kaiming wasn't paying attention and was hit right on the forehead by his own slippers. He felt a sharp pain in his forehead, but he didn't have time to cry out in pain. He still lunged forward bravely.
Su Rou had just turned the doorknob. The cool night wind blew in. Before she could take a breath, she felt a pressure and a stabbing pain on her shoulder. Her body uncontrollably fell backward.
Su Kaiming grabbed Su Rou's shoulder to prevent her from falling. "Xiaorou, you really are a handful."
Su Kaiming pulled Su Rou into the bedroom. Then he took out a pair of metal handcuffs from his pocket. "If you had just gone to sleep obediently, I wouldn't have handcuffed you. But since you tried to run away, I have no choice. I'm sorry... this was your choice."
There was a sound of metal rubbing. Su Rou's hand was already handcuffed, and the other end of the handcuffs was attached to the headboard of the bed.
"Get a good rest."
"..."
The room was plunged into darkness. Su Rou shook her hand, and there was immediately a sound of metal clanging from the headboard.
"Damn it!"
...
The next day, Su Rou was lying in bed with her eyes open, her expression cold. When Su Kaiming came in, he saw Su Rou's empty - looking eyes. "What, didn't sleep all night? Are you looking forward to the result just like me?"
"..."
Su Rou didn't say a word. She didn't even want to talk to him. But Su Kaiming didn't care. He took out the key and unlocked her handcuffs.
"Let's go."
Su Kaiming held onto Su Rou tightly and drove to the hospital they had been to yesterday. But this time, in front of the private clinic, they saw Wen Haotian.
Obviously, Wen Haotian was a bit excited when he saw Su Rou. "You're here."
"Yeah, let's go in."
The three of them walked into the hospital together. When the doctor who had seen them yesterday saw Su Kaiming, he smiled obsequiously. "Mr. Su, the investigation report is here."
Saying that, the doctor took out a piece of A4 paper from the drawer. It was the paternity test result report.
Su Kaiming snatched it away. His eyes scanned the paper quickly. Then his eyes slowly narrowed, and the smile on his lips grew bigger and bigger. In the end, he burst out laughing. "Hahaha, hahaha!"
Su Rou stood in the corner, watching Su Kaiming's reaction coldly. Wen Haotian couldn't hold back either. He stepped forward and snatched the report. He looked at the words on it: The probability that the two parties are father and daughter is 90%! Is there a blood relationship? Yes!
"Haha!" Wen Haotian also laughed. "I knew it! I knew it!"
Saying that, Wen Haotian held the paper in front of Su Rou. "Su Rou, look. Now you should believe it, right?"
"..." Su Rou averted her gaze. She didn't want to look, but in fact, she already believed it.
"Can I take Su Rou away now?" Wen Haotian asked.
"Wait... Before that, I have something else to do!" Su Kaiming waved his hand and said.
