"ngxue, why aren’t you accompanying Mr. Elliott to go upstairs and change clothes?"
Wang Yixin quickly seized the chance to speak.
Mr. He glanced aningfully at Li Yanan and Zhenxin.
"No need, Miss He also needs to change clothes upstairs, why not let her take up as well."
As soon as Li Yanan said this, Lin Peipei from the fourth branch smirked mockingly at Wang Yixin from the second branch.
Her intentions were as clear as day, like Sima Zhao’s unspoken ambitions.
It’s a pity that he didn’t even spare a glance for her exceptionally beautiful daughter, it was truly laughable.
He ngxue’s face instantly turned pale, she bit her lower lip, at a complete loss.
However, Li Yanan didn’t even spare her a glance, keeping his gaze solely on Zhenxin.
"Zhenxin, what are you standing there for? Hurry and take Mr. Elliott upstairs to change clothes."
"I rember Bainian has a few sets here, we can use his for now."
Mr. He left no room for misunderstanding; his intention was already clear...
Zhenxin felt as if her back was being burned through by He ngxue’s gaze as she went upstairs.
Contrarily, Li Yanan beside her maintained a blank expression, not betraying any hint of emotion.
The He family villa was vast, with long corridors.
You could still faintly hear sounds from the dining room downstairs.
Zhenxin walked ahead of Li Yanan, her steps brisk, seemingly angry, though even she didn’t know why she was angry.
"Here we are, this is the room."
Even though He Bainian had moved out, so clothes were still left in the old estate.
As Zhenxin opened the door, before she could turn around to leave, a rush of heat surged from behind her, and then...
She was pushed into the room by Li Yanan.
"Are you crazy?" She heard a click as the door locked from the inside, and Zhenxin suddenly widened her eyes.
Her back was against the wall, and the strong sll of alcohol wafted around them.
"Help pick." Li Yanan clasped her waist tightly, making it impossible for Zhenxin to move an inch.
"Let go of ." Zhenxin was truly angry, they were at the He family residence, was he crazy to drag her in here?
If soone saw, how could she ever show her face again?
"Help choose one, and I’ll release you."
Li Yanan looked down at her face, perhaps afraid of being discovered, Zhenxin flushed like a boiled prawn.
Even the tips of her delicate, jade-like ears were extrely red.
"Are you serious?" Eager to escape the situation, Zhenxin raised her head, urgency gleaming in her clear eyes.
"Yes, I’m serious."
Li Yanan brushed aside the hair near her cheek, his deep gaze fixed on her flushed face.
"Then step aside."
Zhenxin looked at him warily, and only when Li Yanan truly let go did she exhale a temporary sigh of relief.
Walking to the wardrobe, she opened the door, blocking Li Yanan’s wolf-like gaze, allowing her to regain so composure.
"Blue or black?"
Holding up a shirt in each hand, Zhenxin asked for his preference.
Li Yanan glanced indifferently at the two shirts.
"You decide." He maintained his lukewarm tone.
"Then black."
Cautiously maintaining a distance from him, Zhenxin handed the shirt to him.
"Afraid of ?"
"Not afraid." Almost at the sa ti, Li Yanan heard Zhenxin’s retort.
A hint of a smile on his thin lips, but in the next second, he began unbuttoning his shirt in front of her.
Zhenxin was slow to react, and by the ti she saw his bare chest, she instinctively turned away, face burning.
"Li Yanan, you’re breaking your promise!"
She lowered her voice, filled with anger.
"The door’s right there, I’m not blocking you. Seeing that you didn’t move, I thought you wanted to watch change."
Zhenxin suddenly spun around.
Li Yanan so casually exposed his bare chest, his voice full of teasing.
"You..." Zhenxin glared at him, then angrily unlocked the door and headed to the next room...
Zhenxin unbuttoned her shirt, the strong sll of white wine making her frown.
This room was specially reserved by Susan He in case she ca back to live, conveniently arranged next to He Bainian’s room.
Casually dropping the shirt on the floor, the indigo dress in Zhenxin’s hand was just taken from the wardrobe.
For so reason, Zhenxin suddenly recalled ngxue’s gaze directed at Li Yanan downstairs.
Shy and bashful, clearly love-struck!
"nace!"
If it weren’t for eting Li Yanan and truly experiencing him, Zhenxin would never believe these words could apply to a man.
Especially with those captivating, srizing eyes!
Even as a widower, he couldn’t stifle the wave of admirers.
Knock, knock, knock...
As Zhenxin was thinking, there ca a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" She instinctively used the dress to cover herself, thinking it was Li Yanan coming to knock after changing clothes.
"Zhenxin, are you inside?" Could it be He ngxue?
"..." Obviously, otherwise, who was she talking to, a ghost?
"Is there sothing you need?" Her tone wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t warm, either.
"No, I knocked on Mr. Elliott’s door and there was no response." ngxue’s small voice ca through the door gap.
Does she have a problem? Li Yanan’s place was quiet, so why co here?
As she thought about it, Zhenxin’s eyes inadvertently glanced at the full-length mirror...
"Ah..." A short gasp...
"Zhenxin? What happened? Zhenxin?" ngxue pressed her ear to the door, unwilling to miss any sound from inside.
She had gathered the courage to knock on Li Yanan’s door but got no response.
Trying to twist the handle, it was locked from the inside.
Zhenxin’s eyes widened as a strong hand covered her mouth, not too forceful, yet restraining any sound.
The fitting mirror reflected the silhouettes of the couple embracing.
Previously unlocked, the balcony door also opened from the outside, the curtain gently swaying with the breeze, stirring up ripples!
"Are you going to tell her I’m here?"
Having changed shirts, Li Yanan murmured, lips curving, speaking in a whisper right by Zhenxin’s ear.
Zhenxin’s mouth was still covered by him, her long eyelashes fluttering.
The mont she saw Li Yanan’s figure in the fitting mirror, her heart was overwheld with fear.
Of course, she knew he had climbed from the balcony, but...
If he slipped, or if soone caught him...
How bold could this man be?
As ngxue’s knocking grew more insistent outside, Zhenxin finally resolved to shake her head.
She’d be crazy to tell ngxue Li Yanan was here with her!
"Obedient..." Li Yanan spoke to Zhenxin as if soothing a child, enraging her further.
Fortunately, he finally released his hold.
"I’m fine, once I’ve changed I’ll go downstairs, as for Mr. Elliott, if you’d like to find him, please knock on the next door."
Zhenxin’s voice was colder than before.
Part of the reason was that Li Yanan was holding her against him while she was only wearing a slip on her upper body.
Perhaps it was Zhenxin’s manner of speaking, but ngxue outside stopped knocking.
Even though, Zhenxin could still feel ngxue hadn’t left.
Because of this, her whole body stiffened as Li Yanan leaned down to sniff her ear, then...
"I like Mr. Elliott, can you..."
Suddenly, ngxue’s voice ca from outside the door.
She had co upstairs using the washroom as an excuse, so she couldn’t stay long, her voice trembling.
"Hiss..." Zhenxin drew a sharp breath as Li Yanan’s lips brushed against her bare shoulder.
"You like him, why co tell ?"
This was directed at ngxue outside the door, then Zhenxin turned to Li Yanan.
—What exactly do you want?
Silently mouthing the words, she couldn’t endure his constant ’harassnt’, her heart...
was about to leap out!
—Be with !
Li Yanan whispered in her ear, playing with her earlobe.
Her most sensitive earlobe controlled, every hair on her body stood in response, her body quivering.
—Are you crazy?
There’s a woman outside eager to be a stepmother, doesn’t he feel anything?
—Agree with , or else...
Li Yanan responded in kind, and after a pause, he looked towards the door.
"Because it seems, Mr. Elliott’s son likes you a lot..."
ngxue’s coquettish voice was immune to another woman like Zhenxin.
But quickly, she understood.
Perhaps these words weren’t just ant for her to hear.
Zhenxin tensed all over, because she suddenly felt Li Yanan lift her hair, and behind her...
The scars extending to her waist, even hard for herself to accept...
It’s better this way, if he saw those scars, surely he would lose all interest!
Yet...
As she thought this, the light kisses traveled from her shoulder to her neck and back.
Spreading densely.
Fireworks exploded in her head, Zhenxin braced herself on the mirror, her legs turning weak.
"Be with ." Li Yanan hugged her tightly from behind, as if to embed her into himself.
"Let go of ."
Zhenxin’s heart pounded erratically, clutching her dress tightly.
"Zhenxin? Are you angry? Why aren’t you speaking?"
ngxue knocked on the door again!
"Be with , or I’ll open the door and let her see what you’re up to!"
Li Yanan sensed her struggle and held her fast, speaking in an enticing whisper by her ear.
