Chapter 293: When Did You Come In?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unwilling to let go of the rare time alone, Shen Yaowei first dragged Huo Junhan around the streets and only returned after lunch.
After returning to the courtyard, she stayed in the study. Shen Yaowei stayed with Huo Junhan until they finished their dinner before returning to her room to take a shower and change.
Warm fog lingered in the room. Shen Yaowei’s long black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders. She placed her hands on the edge of the bathtub and rested her head on it. Her eyes were half-closed, and she looked sleepy.
Seeing Shen Yaowei’s fair face turn red, Zi Yun walked over and reminded her gently, “Miss, if you’re tired, come out. Wipe your body and you can rest.”
Shen Yaowei stood up and splashed water on her face from the bathtub. “I’m not sleepy. I just don’t understand why 1 keep feeling that my Ninth Imperial Uncle is a little different today, but I can’t say what’s wrong.”
Nuan Ying wiped Shen Yaowei’s back with a cloth towel. She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart that her Miss was really a stunner. Even her back view was perfect. “Did you think 1 couldn’t tell? 1 just feel that His Highness is even gentler to Miss than before and listens to Miss on everything.”
Shen Yaowei tilted her head gloomily. “I can’t say. Anyway, 1 keep feeling that my Ninth Imperial Uncle is a little different from before.”
“Miss, you’re thinking so much. I’m afraid you’re going to have a dream tonight. Nuan Ying, come with me to get some calming herbs and soak them in the bathtub for Miss.” Zi Yun called out to Nuan Ying and opened the door. Before she could walk out, she saw Huo Junhan standing outside.
Huo Junhan had clearly just taken a shower and changed his clothes. His long hair was still slightly wet and draped casually behind him. He was less cold and more lazy and casual than before.
Zi Yun and Qiao Nian were both shocked. The words “Your Highness” were already in their throats.
Huo Junhan didn’t even look at the two of them. He avoided them and entered the room.
Zi Yun and Nuan Ying smiled at each other and closed the door considerately.
In the room, fog lingered, and the faint sweet fragrance of a young girl taking a bath spread in the air.
After Huo Junhan entered the room and saw Shen Yaowei, his eyes darkened.
Shen Yaowei didn’t notice it at all. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it quietly. “Nuan Ying, come and massage my shoulders. My shoulders are a little sore.”
Huo Junhan didn’t say anything. He walked behind Shen Yaowei and extended his hand.
The man’s broad palm was completely different from the woman’s. The moment it touched Shen Yaowei, it was as if she had been electrocuted. Her small body couldn’t help but tremble.
Covering her chest, she turned around and looked behind her. When she saw Huo Junhan’s handsome face through the layers of smoke, she suddenly couldn’t think straight. “Junhan, when did you come in?”
“I just came in.” Huo Junhan saw Shen Yaowei’s eyes widen like an innocent rabbit. She looked at him eagerly and waved. “Come here.”
Shen Yaowei’s face was so red that it looked like blood. She didn’t know why Huo Junhan had called her over, but her body leaned over honestly.
Huo Junhan reached out and massaged Shen Yaowei’s shoulders.
Shen Yaowei had never been treated like this by Huo Junhan before. For a moment, she didn’t know if it was enjoyment or torture. Her small body stiffened, and she didn’t dare to move.
“Did I use too much strength and hurt you?” Huo Junhan’s voice was low and pleasant to the ears of Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei lowered her head like a little quail, wishing she could shrink into the water. “It’s alright.. It’s quite comfortable…”
