The hands of two men simultaneously stiffened in midair.
The atmosphere instantly became excruciatingly awkward.
After another lap, Su Ge and Mu Zhenzhen got out of the water.
The two proud and haughty men had already taken seats on the poolside loungers, apparently not intending to pay attention to the little women, but as the little women walked ashore in their swimsuits, their ostentatiously eye-catching figures successfully captured the men’s unwavering gaze once again.
Both men instantly straightened up, grabbed the coats on the loungers, and walked towards their respective women.
Mo Xingyuan handed the coat directly to Mu Zhenzhen, who glanced at him, took it calmly, and put it on.
On the other hand, Chu Yihan personally helped Su Ge put on her coat. Seeing his slightly angry face, she smiled pleasingly at him, softening the man’s stern face instantly, his gaze filled with reproach yet doting.
Such a woman, failing to learn her lesson.
She had just gotten over a cold a few days ago, and yet, she’s back in the water.
"Mu Zhenzhen, you’re even learning bad habits!" Mo Xingyuan’s voice came from not far away, causing Su Ge’s complexion to change slightly as she looked at Chu Yihan with an aggrieved expression.
Chu Yihan’s face darkened as he indifferently gazed towards Mo Xingyuan. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
Mo Xingyuan didn’t show him any face and let out a low, cold huff, only to be met with Mu Zhenzhen suddenly speaking up, "Mo Xingyuan, shut up."
Mo Xingyuan’s eyes widened in surprise.
This woman...she dared to scold him?
"Xiao Ge, I’m going to change clothes first." Without giving Mo Xingyuan another glance, Mu Zhenzhen turned and walked away.
"Okay, go ahead, I’ll come right over."
Su Ge’s voice faded behind her. Mu Zhenzhen had just left when Shen Zhiyue happened to come by. Despite clearly seeing Shen Zhiyue, Mu Zhenzhen’s eyes quickly flashed with barely noticeable anger, completely ignoring her as she strode away.
Watching Mu Zhenzhen walk by, Shen Zhiyue deliberately slowed her pace.
She looked back, smugly at the departing figure.
Mu Zhenzhen, you will never win against me.
Even if Xingyuan keeps you by his side, it will always be nothing but torture for you.
By the poolside, Su Ge was already seated and drinking juice, with Chu Yihan right beside her, his deep phoenix eyes fixed on her.
"You came over, what about the guests? You should be entertaining them, not keeping me company." The man’s intense gaze never leaving her, Su Ge felt somewhat embarrassed.
"There’s no should or shouldn’t, I like being with you, it’s my right."
"Um...okay then." Su Ge looked down and smiled, the last bit of gloom in her heart dissipating like smoke on the breeze.
When a straight-laced man earnestly flirts, it’s truly irresistible.
"Yihan, Xingyuan, I thought you both were here for a swim."
Shen Zhiyue’s voice suddenly rang out.
Su Ge’s smile stiffened momentarily, only to see Shen Zhiyue cast a perfunctory glance at her and Chu Yihan, and then she walked over and sat down beside Mo Xingyuan, "Xingyuan, it seems I’ve worried for nothing."
Su Ge arched her eyebrows in confusion—what did Shen Zhiyue’s remark mean?
Can’t Mo Xingyuan swim?
Even if he can’t, why should she worry...
After all, he’s an adult who should be able to take care of himself.
"But Xingyuan, after that time, you haven’t been in the water again, have you?"
As soon as ’that time’ came up, Mo Xingyuan’s face, which had been clouded from scolding Mu Zhenzhen, relaxed instantly as he looked at Shen Zhiyue indifferently, "Hmm."
"It’s true that once bitten by a snake, you’re wary of well ropes for ten years, but it’s just as well, after all, I can’t always be by your side."
