Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Things Go Against Wishes
When Ye Shu parted the curtains, she was brimming with courage, but as soon as she truly entered and saw the man lying at the edge through the mist, his sturdy back exposed, her confidence deflated completely.
The words “marital infidelity” penetrated irresistibly into every cell of her body, fernting, roaring.
They made her want to turn around and flee this place uncontrollably.
However, she couldn’t run!
She would have to apologize to Sheng Shaochen later, repay him many tis over.
But saving Ye Zifeng was her only chance, she had no other chips to gamble with, so she absolutely couldn’t miss it.
...
Ye Shu took a deep breath, the air was filled with the pleasant scent of sandalwood.
It brought a slight calming effect to her mind.
Step by careful step, she approached the man.
The closer she got, the faster her heartbeat beca, so fast it felt like it could leap out of her throat at any mont.
From the dragon-head nozzle suspended in mid-air, hot water constantly flowed down.
Falling into the hot spring, it created a splashing sound that seed to strike her heart, making her nervousness increasingly apparent.
She didn’t know if it was the heat from the hot water or her excessive unease, but a fine layer of sweat broke out all over Ye Shu’s body.
Sticking to her T-shirt, it was indescribably uncomfortable.
Naturally, she reached out to tug at the collar of her shirt, trying to alleviate the stifling heat.
Under the ornate lights, reflections danced inside her clothing.
The mist swirled around her with each step she took, stirring up whorls of vapor.
She looked like a celestial woman who had mistakenly descended into a fairyland, clean and translucent, beautiful like a watercolor and ink painting.
Ye Shu walked around the semi-circular goose egg-shaped bank, all the way to the man’s front.
Just standing there in front of the man.
The man was sprawling at the edge, his face handso as waves but obscured by heavy mist, not very clear.
Next to him was a handcrafted sandalwood tub, its edge draped with a dry towel.
Ye Shu thought, should she try to wipe off the wet hair of the man who seed to be sound asleep?
She crouched down, picked up the pure white towel, and was about to wipe the man’s damp hair.
Her gaze suddenly froze!
In the midst of the steam, the man’s angular face beca more and more defined before her eyes.
Sheng Shaochen?
Ye Shu gasped in shock, the towel in her hand dropping and landing on Sheng Shaochen’s head and face.
Sheng Shaochen grunted softly, waking from his slumber, with his hand on the pure white towel, he appeared annoyed and started to remove it.
Ye Shu, startled, got up to run.
But because she was too panicky, she kicked the sandalwood tub.
The tub was kicked more than a ter away, striking the stone wall with a loud noise.
Sheng Shaochen fully awoke, pulled the towel from his head, threw it aside, and looked over with a grim face following the noise.
When he saw Ye Shu, his brows deeply furrowed.
Though Ye Shu was already turned away from him, she could still feel two lines of sight like concentrated fire, threatening to burn a hole through her back.
At this mont, she strangely felt the illusion of a wife caught cheating, busted by her own husband.
Her calves were disobedient, unable to run a single step.
She desperately straightened up, hoping that Sheng Shaochen had not seen clearly that it was her.
But unfortunately, it was contrary to her wish!
Sheng Shaochen’s hoarse voice chased after her from behind, echoing in the empty hot spring room.
“Mrs. Sheng really has her ways, to even find this place? Or should I say, does Mrs. Sheng often sneak around to places like this?”
