She had lowered his chances of having a psychological shadow because of that party in Dongshan Court, but what if he accidentally met the male lead and female lead’s children, especially their daughter? He might blackened earlier than he had in the novel’s timeline.
“That place isn’t good?”
“Yeah, the people that live there only look good on the outside. Don’t be fooled by their facade. They might all be perverse psychos! You saw that person that tried to stop us from leaving yesterday. He’s already at that age, but he hasn’t formed a normal family yet. There’s definitely something wrong with him. When you see someone like him, keep your distance.”
In a certain villa in Dongshan Court, a person that was examining his company’s statements suddenly sneezed for seemingly no reason.

“Do you know that place really well?”
“Good enough.” After all, the original owner had grown up in Dongshan Court.
“Oh,” Su Han coldy answered, but his thoughts went in a different direction than Su Ran’s.
This woman probably knew about that place because of her job…

The next day, Su Ran wanted to do her part as a fake mother by scrounging up some sort of breakfast for Su Han. But by the time that Su Ran looked up from her pile of music compositions, Su Han had already gone to school by himself.
It made sense. The original owner used to work at night and sleep during the day. So, Su Han wouldn’t have the habit of waking up “Su Ran” before going to school.
However, this morning was different from the original owner’s memories. Su Han had gone to school, but he had left behind a hard boiled egg on the table for her.
Aiya, what a good child. Not only was he completely independent and she didn’t have to worry about him, he thoughtfully made enough for breakfast to leave a share behind for her!
Su Ran was touched by his gesture.

Su Ran didn’t know what the original owner had been thinking in treating this sensible villain so poorly and wanting Su Han to just disappear from her life. Anyways, Su Ran didn’t think having him as a roommate would be a problem. Once she was focused on composing music, she wouldn’t notice anything that was happening around her anyways. And, Su Han was a quiet person.
They could harmoniously live under the same room with each person focused on his and her own work.
There was only one thing that Su Han did that Su Ran found a bit unbearable. Every night, from 9 to 10 PM, Su Han would rigidly sit on the couch in the living room instead of going to sleep. He wasn’t sitting there reading a book or anything.
“Umm, Su Han ah, how about you go to sleep?” Su Ran couldn’t resist asking.
Su Han, who had been called out, slightly paused before stiffly answering Su Ran, “I’m not sleepy.”
Sigh. She didn’t care if he was sleepy or not, but why did he have to sit there and stare at her as if he was guarding against a thief?
Even though Su Han was holding a Rubik’s cube, she could see that it was just a prop for him. This kid would sneak a look at her every ten seconds, then he would look at the door.
“You…” Suddenly thinking of their conversation from two nights ago, Su Ran asked, “You’re not here to see when I’m going out, right?”
Su Ran had just wanted to tease Su Han and ease the mood.
However, as soon as she said those words, a trace of sheepishness appeared on Su Han’s face. He looked a bit like a child that had been caught red-handed by a parent.
“I’m not!”
Su Ran deliberately teased Su Han by saying, “Okay, okay. You’re not. No need to get so stirred up.”
This villain usually acted mature beyond his age. It was rare to see such an amusing expression on his face.
“Or could it be…” Su Ran intentionally batted her eyelids at Su Han and dragged out the rest of her words when she said, “You don’t want me to go out?”
Hearing Su Ran’s words, Su Han froze in silence.
However, his silent expression had already said it all.
“You…” After a long time, Su Han finally spoke. It was as if his words were coming from his throat. “Don’t go to that place anymore.”
