Becoming Audacious After Marriage: Madam, Please Keep A Low Profile Chapter 23

Apologize?
Hmph, Li Nana was scheming against him. Li Beichen believed that she had called to tune in on the good show.
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he picked up the call only to hear a sweet voice came from the other end.
"Second Brother, the greeting gift I've prepared for you and Sister-in-law is pretty good, right?"
"I spent a fortune on that bottle of vodka. My heart aches thinking of it."
"Nana, are you more anxious than Old Master for me to have a child?" Li Beichen's gaze subconsciously glanced towards the bathroom.
"No, it's just that life is short. If you're cold in that aspect, Second Brother, you can't deprive my sister-in-law right? Besides that, you cannot deprive the future kids of our family."
Li Beichen was helpless. He reached out to rub his glabella and said, "Nana, what do you want me to say about you? Not only did you master that stuff, but you're also not even embarrassed while saying it."
"Then I'll take it that Second Brother is praising me." Li Nana played with a tuft of hair by her ear and rolled around on the bed. "Second Brother, when are you bringing Sister-in-law back to the old residence for me to meet?"
"Soon."
They chatted for a while more before hanging up.
The sound of running water in the bathroom had already stopped. The huge villa was quiet for a moment. It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop on the ground. However, Shi Yuxuan still had not come out.
As Li Beichen flipped through the newspaper, he felt even more irritated, and the rustling sound of the paper was especially loud. He even felt that it was very noisy, so noisy that he could not calm down at all. He simply threw it aside and stopped reading.

He glanced at his watch coldly. It was two in the afternoon.
Because of this woman, not only did he abandon the company's matters, but he also did not get to eat until now. She was simply a scourge.
"Shi Yuxuan?" Li Beichen called her unhappily but she did not respond.
"Shi Yuxuan?"
This woman crossed Li Beichen's bottom line again and again.
Everyone in the Yuzun Group knew that the powerful president never repeated his words. But just now, Li Beichen had shouted twice.
Did she get too comfortable in the bath and forget where she was?
Li Beichen had always been a clean freak to the point that he was notorious for it.
It was already her limit to let her take a shower in the bathroom. Not only did she not know her limits, she was even enjoying it?
With a dark face, Li Beichen loosened his collar, took off his suit jacket that cost hundreds of thousands, and threw it on the sofa. With an imposing aura, he strode with his long legs and headed to the second floor.
"Bang!" The bathroom was a mess. There was water everywhere but there was no one.
Where did that woman go?
———
Shi Yuxuan was wrapped in a towel. The cold water slid down her skin and dripped onto the simple yet luxurious floor. She tiptoed and carefully opened the wardrobe in Li Beichen's room.
Her expression changed.
Oh God, they were all suits.
Was Li Beichen a man?
Shi Yuxuan had thought that he would more or less have needs in that aspect. It would be understandable if he had kept a mistress in his house, but he did not even have any woman's clothes at all.
She could only wear his clothes now.
Removing the towel, Yuxuan wrapped it around her body and put on his white shirt. When the shirt of the 1.84-meter-tall man was worn on her body, it covered the top part of her body that was partly hidden and partly visible.
After she buttoned the last button on the shirt, she put on a suit jacket.
However, after putting it on, she felt that there was a wind reaching her on the lower part of her body.
Just as she was looking for her pants, the doorknob turned with an audible click.

His chest glistened with water droplets dribbling down the glowing bronze skin. Resting, his strong muscular back against the rocks on the lake side, head lulled backwards, onyx eyes closed in utter salvation."Your spying on me is utterly useless young tulip." Ink eyes opened, resting upon my little frame making me freeze."What are you thinking? You have got this one chance....run away." He offered his eyes watching my each and every movement like a hawk."I am a prisoner sire, I have heard stories....tales of how war prisoners are mercilessly butchered if they are caught and I can't afford to die....not yet...I have someone to feed and I will do anything for them.""Anything?" He asked in eerily calm voice. I nodded slowly a lump forming in my throat as my eyes glistened with tears with the scenes of men using my eighteen year body flashed infront of me making me tremble.Water splashed around as he rose to his full height inside the lagoon, his eyes solely focused on me, his feet moving forward, closing our distance altogether."Azarios" I stiffened, my eyes snapping to his in utter surprise as I heard the name leaving his plump lips.His identity, the name which echoed throughout the dynasty making every living soul shudder.KillerCommanderBeastHe was the commander of Gladiators.Azarios, the Gladiator of Ambrose."You will be the bride of mine." "You are my enemy, my contender, the person I hate with everything....every fibre in my soul." she fumed."Too bad then... you are the person I love with every cell in my body."*No toxic relationship*
