Just at this mont, a noise ca from outside the door, followed by the sound of a key being inserted into the lock...
Shi Keke almost subconsciously lifted her gown and started walking towards the inside of the room.
Click—
The door was opened by soone.
Shi Keke had to stop in her tracks, as she was still so distance from the room. If she continued to walk further inside, her back would undoubtedly be exposed.
After stopping, she quickly turned around to face the newcor, her body slightly rigid.
Upon entering, Shi i gave her a faint glance, "What’s wrong?"
Probably sensing that sothing was amiss with her, his gaze was dark and heavy, and his voice low enough to feel oppressing.
"Nothing..."
Shi Keke acted as if nothing was amiss, smiling carelessly.
Shi i humd and stood still, gesturing towards her, and said in a deep voice: "Co here."
Shi Keke stood still and did not move: "You go downstairs and wait for , I need to go back to my room to grab my bag, and also use the restroom."
"I said co here." His voice dropped even lower.
In such a situation, nobody would comply, let alone the always strong-willed Shi Keke.
Fortunately, the bathroom was right next to her on the right. She observed the distance with her peripheral vision and, after confirming there was no risk of a mishap, she sidestepped into the bathroom and locked the door.
After entering the bathroom, she imdiately opened the storage cabinet above the washbasin. Fortunately, she had put a set of clean clothes there after her bath last night, otherwise, she would have been utterly embarrassed today.
But to her surprise, the clothes that she had placed inside were gone. After searching through it, she found only so clean towels and bath towels.
Not finding any clothes in the storage cabinet, she had to go to the inner part of the bathroom to look, but still did not find any suitable clothes to wear.
"Shi Keke, I’ll give you one minute. If after one minute you don’t co out, you’ll bear the consequences."
A tall silhouette reflected on the bathroom’s frosted door; Shi i stood outside with one hand casually placed in his pocket, his posture relaxed.
His voice was neither cold nor hot, but it was very threatening.
"I went for a morning jog and got all sweaty. I wanted to try on the gown just now to see if it fits, but ended up sticking to my sweat. I can’t possibly attend grandfather’s birthday banquet in a sweaty gown, right? Brother, let take a shower; just give five minutes."
Shi Keke’s quick thinking was quite strong, dispelling all the crises with just one sentence.
This approach had two benefits for her: one, it provided a reasonable excuse for her sudden entrance into the bathroom, and two, it gave her an appropriate reason for not wearing that gown.
When she saw the silhouette disappear from the door, Shi Keke imdiately stripped off her gown. After taking it off, she checked her body in the full-length mirror and casually took a tape asure to gauge her waist and chest size.
No wonder she couldn’t zip up the dress, her chest had grown an inch; no wonder she always felt that her bras have been getting smaller recently...
In order not to arouse Shi i’s suspicion, she still took a quick shower. Then, she soaked the gown in the laundry basin and wrapped a clean bath towel from the storage cabinet around herself.
When Shi Keke ca out of the bathroom, Shi i was sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette, blowing smoke rings in her direction.
Being seen in such a state by him, Shi Keke remained calm because, at least now, she was decently wrapped in a towel, unlike before when she couldn’t put on her clothes, bare and exposed...
