After lingering in the bathroom for half an hour, Lin Yixun finally changed clothes and came out.
At the moment she saw Leng Yixiu, her steps slightly paused. She didn’t know when Leng Yixiu had entered, but she had no time to think about it.
The man stood with his back facing her, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The air was filled with a strong smell of tobacco, and the ashtray by his side was already piled with cigarette butts. Clearly, he had been here for a while.
When did he learn to smoke?
In Lin Yixun’s memory, Leng Yixiu was exceptionally self-controlled. He didn’t smoke, and he rarely drank alcohol. Only during social gatherings would he occasionally drink a little.
The man seemed to sense her presence. He then extinguished the cigarette in his hand and turned around to look at her. His sharp gaze scrutinized her from head to toe, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Are you planning to sleep with me dressed ?"
The man pointed to the walk-in closet behind Lin Yixun and said coldly, "There are nightwears in the wardrobe."
Lin Yixun tugged at her lips in self-mockery, ultimately moving her feet and walking slowly towards the walk-in closet. The left side of the closet was filled with all women’s clothing, neatly categorized. One section was specifically for nightwear, which were all summer clothes, with no autumn or winter options.
It made sense, the room had underfloor heating and was like spring all year round. Even if it was freezing cold outside, one didn’t need to wear heavy clothing to sleep at night.
Lin Yixun randomly selected a silk camisole nightgown, turned around intending to go back to the bathroom to change, but the man’s cold voice came from behind, "Just change here."
Lin Yixun abruptly halted her steps, as if cast with an immobilization spell, staring blankly in place.
"Why bother being so secretive just to change clothes? Besides, I’ve already seen you naked before, haven’t I?"
Lin Yixun’s fingers tightly gripped the nightgown in her hand, trembling slightly due to excessive force. Leng Yixiu’s words reminded her of that humiliating night. How could he be so indifferent?
