Because she knew that Young Master Gu Ningyi had a cleanliness obsession, if she claimed she was dirty, he likely wouldn’t touch her, right?
Gu Ningyi slightly raised his head, his dark eyes fixed on her, making her feel guilty and uneasy. Only then did he release her, step back a few paces, and toss a bathrobe to her.
Dong Xin Yan grabbed the bathrobe and quickly headed towards the bathroom, closing the door and locking it, finally daring to let out a big sigh of relief while leaning against the door.
This bath, Dong Xin Yan dawdled over for nearly an hour, then spent another half-hour wrapped in the bathrobe inside, unable to stop complaining to her reflection in the mirror. She was really stupid—talking about taking a bath knowing full well that after the bath, she’d still have to face Gu Ningyi.
If she said her period had arrived and it was inconvenient, couldn’t she avoid this crisis today?
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but scratch her head, wondering if it would work if she claimed she got her period now.
However, today she had already been caught in a lie once by Gu Ningyi. If she were caught again... Dong Xin Yan couldn’t imagine the consequences.
Her past experiences told her that if she angered this young master again, it definitely wouldn’t end easily.
After much deliberation, Dong Xin Yan could only resign herself to fate.
From the moment she sought him out that day, wasn’t she already resigned to her fate?
Dong Xin Yan spent over an hour in the bath, and Gu Ningyi didn’t rush her. Instead, he opened a bottle of red wine and leisurely sipped it while lying on the deck chair on the balcony.
As Dong Xin Yan exited the bathroom, she saw his elegant and leisurely posture.
The room’s light spilled outward, casting some shadows on Gu Ningyi’s face, highlighting his deep and distinct features, set against the starry night sky, creating a scene that resembled a serene and beautiful painting.
Although she really disliked Gu Ningyi, she had to admit, his appearance was truly enviable, and from a young age, he had used that face to captivate countless girls. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel·fiɾe·net
If she hadn’t known long ago about the vile person he was underneath that beautiful facade, she might very well have been ensnared by him too.
Thinking of all the vile things Gu Ningyi had done to her in the past, all of Dong Xin Yan’s thoughts vanished. To her, he was a jerk, a total jerk!
As Dong Xin Yan was inwardly cursing him, she didn’t notice when Gu Ningyi turned around.
Dong Xin Yan, with her petite figure wrapped in his bathrobe, looked like she was swallowed by it, appearing extremely delicate and exquisite.
She wasn’t wearing shoes, her bare feet white and plump, complementing her face that was flushed pink by the steam, like an angel fallen to the earth.
Gu Ningyi looked at her, and his previously calmed breaths suddenly became erratic again.
He lifted his chin towards Dong Xin Yan, his voice unintentionally hoarse, "Come here."
Dong Xin Yan pursed her lips, instinctively tightening the belt around her waist a bit, then lifted her foot and slowly walked towards the patio.
On the patio, there were two deck chairs; Gu Ningyi was lying on one, and Dong Xin Yan naturally headed to the other. However, just as she approached, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
The next second, she was pulled, falling into Gu Ningyi’s embrace, lying on top of him. His face was next to her ear, and as he spoke, the rich smell of wine wafted into her ear.
His voice was low, magnetic, carrying a hint of teasing and suggestion, causing Dong Xin Yan’s cheeks to instantly flush.
