The bathroom door opened, and she put her body down, bent down to turn on the bathtub faucet, adjusted the water temperature, and then stood upright!
Nanxi stood there, at a loss, "Lu Yinchu, you’re not going to..."
"That’s right, I’m going to bathe with you..." He raised his handsome eyebrow, his warm body closing in on her, trapping her between the wall and himself. At the same time, he skillfully turned on the shower head, smirking at her with a mischievous smile, "What? You have objections?"
Of course, she had objections. Very strong objections!
But what good does having objections do? They’re completely useless, okay!
...
The result of excessive indulgence was that when the two of them left the bathroom, they could only collapse exhausted into bed again, awakening once more in the afternoon!
When Lu Yinchu woke up, he, like nothing had happened, prepared a delicious meal for Nanxi. This was hard to tell whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner. After the exhausting work from last night to this morning, she needed a good replenishment!
Both of them quietly ate their meal. It was already past three o’clock in the afternoon. This made Nanxi very uncomfortable!
That’s when Nanxi’s phone rang. The name on the caller ID made Nanxi’s heart skip a beat!
She glances up at Lu Yinchu across the dining table. At the same time, Lu Yinchu’s gaze meets hers. Startled, she quickly stands up and says, "You keep eating, I...I’ll answer this call!"
Lu Yinchu appears indifferent, as though he hadn’t paid attention anyway!
Nanxi takes a deep breath as she walks towards her bedroom, a little nervous.
Lu Yinchu, behind her, purses his lips slightly. His expression is somewhat somber.
Closing the bedroom door and taking another deep breath, Nanxi finally answers the phone. "Hello?" Her voice is trembling as she speaks!
Because the caller is none other than Li Weihuan!
"Hmm, what’s wrong? Your voice sounds strange!"
"Hmm?" Nanxi replied with a laugh, "No, I...I’m fine! Anyway, why did you call me? What’s the matter?"
"Oh!" Li Weihuan’s voice paused for a moment as if to choose his words carefully, and then he began, "It’s , Nanxi, it’s been a while since we all got together. Tonight there’s a gathering, do you want to come?"
"Yes! What, you don’t have time?"
"No...well, it’s not that, it’s just..."
"Didn’t we say we’d be friends? And you also said you didn’t want to make everyone unhappy because of our past relationship. Moreover, Susu, Lanlan, Xiaobai, Zhang Mu, and Chenqing will be there too.... Although you’re married, it’s not too much to ask you to spend a little time with us, your friends, while also taking care of your family and husband?"
Hearing Li Weihuan say this, Nanxi feels a bit guilty about refusing again, so she agrees, "Alright, let me know the exact location and time!"
...
When Nanxi comes out, Lu Yinchu has just brought the soup he cooked from the kitchen. Despite the man’s obvious elegance, he somehow seems perfectly at home doing these things!
Taking a deep breath, Nanxi returns to the dining table and sits down. Lu Yinchu places the soup pot on the table and casually asks, "Who was that on the phone?"
"A... friend!" Nanxi responds, clearly nervous.
"Was it Yang Su? Or Lan Qiqi?"
"..." The only friends he could think of seemed to be them!
Lu Yinchu picks up the soup ladle, ready to serve the soup, and speaks nonchalantly, "Seems like it’s not then..."
"Cough!" Nanxi chokes, "Actually, Lu Yinchu..."
Lu Yinchu glances at her, "Do you want to confess?"
Nanxi is taken aback. She can’t escape from the man’s gaze and eventually surrenders, admitting, "Yes, it was my ex-boyfriend!" She quickly explains after, to avoid misunderstandings, "But you have to believe me, we’re just friends now. Purely friends!"
"Mm!" Lu Yinchu responds with a calmness that betrays no emotions!
He places a bowl of fragrant meat soup in front of her. "Try it!"
Nanxi is not convinced. "Lu Yinchu, don’t you trust me?"
"I do! But what did he want? You can tell me. I won’t get angry!"
"It’s a gathering! Our group is getting together. Bai Yuchuan, Susu, Lanlan will be there too..."
