Lu Mengjie felt her heart skip a beat upon hearing what he said. Somewhere inside her, maybe she had already known that he wouldn't lie to her. His words brought relief inside her. She was glad to hear them from him. A small smile appeared on her lips. "So… you choose to remain silent instead of telling me a lie?"

"... Yes."

She wanted to be mad at him but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do that. She sighed inwardly. She was about to say something when she suddenly heard the message ringtone that came from her phone.

"You should not be straining yourself like this, Liwei. Go back and sit on your chair." She lowered her eyes. Her brow twitched upon seeing the bulge between his pants.

Seriously… He really wanted to do more than a bath...

She shook her head to dismiss the thoughts that entered her mind. Her gaze traveled below his legs to check if there was blood on his pants. Luckily there weren't any wet spots.

Lu Mengjie assisted him in taking a seat back in the wheelchair. "Be good and stay."

Yong Liwei raised a brow. "If you want me to listen to you, you have to reward me with something."

"..." She didn't have to think of what kind of reward he wanted. It was already obvious enough. She flushed as she glared at him.

"Well?" He smirked sinfully at her. He always looked so sexy whenever he had a smirk on his face. It only made her restless.

"Depends on how you behave." She turned and went to get her phone from the sink. She checked on who messaged her and there she saw Si Hongqi's name on the group chat.

She opened the chat and read his message.

[Si Hongqi: I can't contact her as well.]

Oh? He tried to contact her? He must have read the previous chats since he was a member of the group.

[My parents will be checking on them later.]

[Si Hongqi: Your parents?]

Lu Mengjie paused to think. Was it right for her to tell him her parent's plans? If it was the previous her, she would have told him already but after what happened to her, she was rather hesitant to give others her full trust even if that person was her childhood friend. But… Si Hongqi was different… so was Han Xukun and her cousins. She didn't want to be a person who would always doubt others even if there was nothing to doubt about.

[They're going to visit the Bai family later.]

After sending that message to him without explaining much, she fixed her bathrobe after she read another message that came from Yong Liwei's assistant.

The doorbell was heard shortly.

"I'll go get it."

She didn't have anything to worry about since their place was highly secured after what happened. She had installed Kuro in the security system so she would easily be notified by him if someone else like Si Guanlin and some strangers came.

Lu Mengjie thanked Niu Jiachen for bringing the things she listed when she chatted with him earlier.

Returning to the bathroom, she saw that Yong Liwei was still there, patiently waiting for her. He had a familiar look on him, like that of their son's who had a 'Mommy, I behave, give me kiss' look. Except for Yong Liwei, she knew that it wasn't going to be just a kiss. It was going to be more than that.

She inwardly heaved out a sigh. She walked towards him and placed the paperbag on the floor.

"Why haven't you undressed yet?" She raised a brow at him.

"I was waiting for you."

"Huh. Waiting for me." She mumbled under her breath. It seemed like Yong Liwei would still want her to undress him.

And so, she knelt in front of him and began by unbuttoning his shirt. Lu Mengjie couldn't help but lick her dry lips under his heated gaze.

She slipped her hands behind his shoulders and caressed the silky firmness of his naked back. She was careful not to touch his wound on his back. She slowly took off his shirt before throwing them into the laundry basket. She could clearly see the sewed wound on his body.

"I'm not going to make love with you," Lu Mengjie said rather honestly as she began unbuckling his belt. She could feel her cheeks heat up and her heart speeding but she tried her best to look calm outside.

"Why not?" The huskiness in his voice sent chills down her spine.

"Because you're wounded." It was the truth. His legs were both stabbed and his body had wounds as well. "I want you to get well soon."

"So that you can finally jump on me?" Amusement was heard in his voice.

The blush on her face became darker. She paused from touching his pants to arch her neck, leveling her eyes on his face. "I told you, right? If you behave, I'll reward you."

"Then how do you plan on dealing with this?" He brazenly touched the growing tent between his legs.

She paused and gulped a bit. "T-there are other ways of dealing with that."

"Like?"

"You… you will have to teach me."

He chuckled deeply as he watched her finally unzip his pants. "Do you want me to stand to make it easier for you?"

Lu Mengjie was rather hesitant at first. She pursed her lips as she looked at the expression he was making. He was having fun alright.

"Fine."

She moved away and waited for him to stand up in front of her. It was easier to pull down his pants that way. She inhaled deeply to gather up her courage before exhaling. She moved in front of him and finally took off his pants, he was left with his boxers.

One last clothing…

When she finally took off the one last clothing on him, his hardened length sprung free in front of her as if greeting her.

She gulped nervously as she stared at it with wide eyes.

"What would you rather have first? Dessert or a nice bath?"

She could hear the playfulness in his voice. It was the first time she did so. She lifted her gaze to see the amusement on his perfect face. He was enjoying how flustered she was. She was sure of it.

Lu Mengjie pursed her lips once again. She suddenly remembered the nights they shared and how well he handled her. "Well" was an understatement. He was amazing. How his lips worked on her body and how it ignited the fire inside her. She could have just backed out but...He had a taste of her back then so now, she wanted to return the favor. "You will have to teach me how to eat the dessert, Mr. Yong."

"Mrs. Yong.." he paused in amusement. "It will be my pleasure."
