Miss Tang is also someone with a temper. Being constantly blocked by Sheng Jianan, she refused to be silent any longer. She met Sheng Jianan’s gaze without feeling inferior or superior, and with a slight smile on her lips, said, "Mr. Sheng, you’re worrying too much. I’m just afraid that if I see your handsome physique, I might get a nosebleed, which would pollute the environment. That’s not good."
Sheng Jianan’s grip on Tang Yanqi’s wrist loosened, and he stared incredulously at the person in front of him as if he were stunned. Tang Yanqi broke free from his restraint, stepped into the bathroom, and took a plastic wrap bag to cover her injured hand, as the doctor had advised her to avoid water contact. She filled the bathtub with water, prepared a bubble bath, and then undressed to get in.
Outside, Sheng Jianan was indeed quite shocked by Tang Yanqi’s words. How could a simple-looking girl like Tang Yanqi say such a thing?
To straightforwardly tell a grown man that seeing his body would give her a nosebleed—is that something one can say lightly? Could she be that open-minded? He refused to believe it.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, Sheng Jianan quickly collected himself and pushed open the bathroom door, which was locked.
As he looked at the doorknob, he smirked with amusement. She dared to speak so bluntly to him about a nosebleed, yet now she couldn’t leave the door unlocked?
This was Sheng Jianan’s house, and opening a bathroom door was incredibly easy. Tang Yanqi heard the commotion outside, but since she’d already locked the door upon entering, she continued with her leisurely soak. So when she heard the unlocking sound and saw Sheng Jianan standing before her, Tang Yanqi was startled.
The bathroom was brightly lit, and she was in the tub with nowhere to hide. Her face flushed instantly. At that moment, Tang Yanqi was extremely grateful that she was taking a bubble bath. The abundant foam on the water’s surface concealed her petite body beneath, leaving Sheng Jianan with only a view of her body from the collarbone up.
Sheng Jianan closed the door and leaned casually against the wall beside the bathtub. His gaze traveled from Tang Yanqi’s hair to her collarbone and then to her exposed arms—thin enough to snap in one go—and her collarbone, which was quite prominent.
As a normal man, he appreciated a woman’s beauty. Tang Yanqi’s collarbone and neck were quite attractive among women. But for some reason, while he agreed with this, a voice inside him questioned why this woman was so skinny. How could she be so thin? Where did all her food go?
Sheng Jianan bent down and sat beside the bathtub, his body leaning forward, drawing closer to Tang Yanqi. Tang Yanqi instinctively moved back, and her injured hand almost dipped into the water, but Sheng Jianan quickly grabbed her.
"Why are you dodging? Didn’t you just say you might get a nosebleed? Now why are you pretending to be shy?"
Tang Yanqi furrowed her delicate brows slightly. Please, speaking is one thing, and the mouth can run wild, but when it comes to actual action, it’s a different matter altogether, okay?
Her cheeks flushed, yet Tang Yanqi’s face maintained a calm appearance, gritting her teeth to avoid looking timid.
Sheng Jianan lifted his other hand and poked Tang Yanqi’s collarbone with a finger. "Tang Yanqi, you don’t seem to eat any less, so where did all your food go?"
As the man’s finger lightly touched her skin, Tang Yanqi felt goosebumps all over, her mind exploding with shock. Instinctively responding to Sheng Jianan’s question, she said, "It’s turned into poop, returning to the toilet."
