The man suddenly held on to the door frame when he reached the room, refusing to barge in further.
“What’s wrong?”
“I think we should bathe together.”
In the end, she did not have a chance to soak long inside the bathtub before her period came.
The woman lay on the bed, curled up lazily in his arms as he blow-dried her hair. His embrace was warm and comfortable, surpassing the use of any heating pad.
“What do you want for dinner?” he asked.
“I can eat anything. Hey, you just pulled my hair.” She purred coyishly.
The man turned off the hairdryer and used his hand to soothe down her crown of glory.
“Is your tummy still hurting?”
“It’s bearable.”
“What do you mean by ‘bearable’?”
She used to roll around in pain whenever she had menstrual cramps.
She looked up and shot him a glimpse of mild ludicrosity. “It’s my tummy. Why do you care?”
Something was still bothering her as she switched the topic. “Oh, how are you going to answer to Old Master Lin after killing off his grandson?”
Lin Jingxuan was, after all, still the offspring of the Lins. The old man would definitely notice something was amiss if his grandson was untraceable for a long period of time. A tough fight might ensue.
“You don’t have to worry about this.” The man was playfully twirling her tresses around his fingers intermittently as he answered her.
She lay quietly in his arms and looked at the handsome man over her head.
This man was hers.
With him around, no matter was too big to handle and no problem too difficult to solve. There was nothing that he could not handle or deal with.
Why had she been so blind in her former life? Why had she ditched this exceptional man and hooked up with a jerk instead?
“Am I that good-looking?” His gaze was indulgent when he asked her this question with a smile.
“Definitely,” she replied without hesitation.
“Good. I’m yours.”
Her lips curled up into a beaming smile.
Yes, he was right. He belonged to her and her alone. This perfect man was for her eyes only.
Under the soft, dim lights, the man sitting upright on the bed was about to hug his woman to sleep. However, his phone suddenly rang on the bedside table.
She picked up the call and was about to speak when a spunky female voice was heard from the other end.
“Brother Jiangye, I’m returning to the country soon. Do you want to pick me up?”
The woman on this end was startled. Glancing quizzically at her man, she asked the caller, “Are you looking for Mo Jiangye?”
“Who are you?” Breaking into a scream, the girl on the other end reacted with apparent shock when she heard a lady answer the phone.
“Who the hell are you? Why do you have Brother Jiangye’s cell phone?”
She put the phone on speaker mode and stared hard at the man next to her. Who is this woman and why is she addressing you so intimately?
Huh? The man, who was not in a hurry to explain, merely gave her a bemused smile.
She did not let up. Who is she?
She had never seen another woman with him except her, let alone a female companion who spoke to him on such an intimate level. However, he showed no sign of wanting to refute or clarify her doubts.
The woman started to get agitated. “I don’t care who you are or what you want, but I’m warning you. Stay away from Brother Jiangye. He’s not someone you can claim as yours.”
The woman on the bed casually tossed the phone aside. “Who are you to give me a warning?”
She received a hostile reply. “I’m warning you as his girlfriend!”
