Chapter 875: Chapter 873 Innocence (1)

When the car left the underground parking lot of the Han Family corporation, Han Jingnian knew the girl beside him wouldn’t be able to check into the Four Seasons Hotel, but he still pretended to be clueless and asked, "Heading to the Four Seasons?"

Xia Wan’an, fully aware that she had lost her ID and couldn’t possibly check into the Four Seasons Hotel, pretended she didn’t realize it and nodded her head several times with an "Mmm" sound.

Due to it being close to the evening rush hour, the road was slightly congested. A normally twenty-minute journey took a full forty-five minutes before they finally arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Entering the lobby, Xia Wan’an headed straight for the reception desk. Only when the receptionist politely asked her to present valid identification did she, seemingly struck by sudden realization, let out an "Ah."

Following her, Han Jingnian, with a face full of innocence, asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I was confused; all my documents are in my bag..." Xia Wan’an awkwardly scratched her head, "I can’t stay at the hotel. I’ll contact Lin Chen to see if he can arrange a place for me..."

As Xia Wan’an spoke, she took out her cell phone and pretended to look for a number, dialing what was supposedly Lin Chen’s number.

Already having instructed Zhang Cheng earlier to bombard Lin Chen’s phone with internet calls during this time, Han Jingnian stood by calmly, without interfering.

Xia Wan’an, hearing the continuous "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable" from her phone, muttered to herself, "What’s happening? Why can’t I get through?"

On the other side, Han Jingnian, thinking that Lin Chen’s phone was consistently busy, asked nonchalantly, "Can’t reach Mr. Lin?"

Xia Wan’an pretended to dial another number before responding, "Yeah, I don’t know what Lin Chen is up to."

Han Jingnian didn’t pick up Xia Wan’an’s thread, instead he asked directly, "Do you have other friends?"

Xia Wan’an shook her head, "I didn’t grow up in the country, and I only knew Lin Chen through older relatives..."

"So, Miss Xia has nowhere to go?"

Xia Wan’an bit her lip corner and said nothing.

Han Jingnian seemed to hesitate for a moment, wrestling with something before he finally said, "Well, if Miss Xia doesn’t mind, you can come to my place."

He paused, then, remembering that he knew the woman before him was Xia Wan’an, though she didn’t realize he already knew her identity, he added, "But there’s one thing I need to clarify first. I might install a surveillance camera at home..."

"Huh?" Xia Wan’an was stunned by Han Jingnian’s unexpected suggestion, "A surveillance camera?"

Facing Xia Wan’an’s shock, Han Jingnian calmly explained, "Yes, a surveillance camera."

Damn, what is Han Jingnian, this jerk, thinking? Is he afraid she’s going to steal something? Has he forgotten that the house had been transferred to her name, Xia Wan’an, last year? It’s her house!

In the midst of Xia Wan’an’s unrivaled fury, Han Jingnian spoke again, "Of course, it’s not to monitor Miss Xia; it’s to prove my innocence."

The anger quickly replaced by confusion, Xia Wan’an was even more baffled, "Prove your innocence? Mr. Han, what innocence are you proving?"

"Cleanness."

Xia Wan’an thought she had misheard. She blinked, and after a while, she blinked again. Then she heard Han Jingnian’s gentle voice once more enter her ears, "Proving my own cleanness. I’m afraid my wife will come home one day, see traces of another woman having stayed over, and be unhappy."
