While thinking about this, she realized with self mockery that he would be done any moment now.

It would be such a waste of a perfect chance.

With a swish, she turned her head and flashed a quick glance over, then turned back in fear of being found out.

"What was that? I didn't even see anything." She mumbled.

She turned her head again, luckily he had his head facing away from her.

Her eyes landed on his wide shoulders and she swallowed hard.

'I didn't expect him to look more muscular with clothes off.' She thought, her gaze lowering to his well sculptured back.

He let go of the shower head. His hair was all wet, and water kept dripping down back from it.

How seductive...

A tiny sneak peek gradually turned into a lustful scorching gaze, and Mu Zhichen turned his head.

She turned just in time. 'That was close.'

Although it was a shame that she couldn't watch him any longer, at least she didn't completely waste this opportunity.

Mu Zhichen finally left the bathroom after a long time, in a bathrobe.

The upper part of his chest was visible through it.

Lu Meili bit her lip when she saw him. Those had to be at least six pack abs... or maybe eight.

"I ran you a bath."

"You're done. I'll take a bath now." She literally fled to the bathroom.

Mu Zhichen glanced at her disappearing back, letting out a restrained chortle.

He knew that she was waiting for him to turn his back before she could undress.

Meanwhile, Lu Meili had long set her mind to use the tub. But as soon as she entered the bathroom, she felt a little cold. Glancing in the direction of the shower, there was no steam.

Wait, he took a cold shower?

No wonder when he left the bathroom just now, she thought he looked like he was cold.

As for why a man would take a cold shower at such a time, she wasn't too innocent to know.

But, he was married!

She stepped into the bathtub.

The warm water relaxed her senses and she couldn't help thinking about him.

All while, he had been accommodating all her wishes. He tolerated her very stupor...

But she realized just now that it was one-sided.

While he was patient with her, she never took his feelings into consideration.

She closed her eyes and relaxed, but opened them with a start a moment later. Why did it feel as though she was being looked at?

The man was currently sitting on the bed after changing into pajamas.

He was reading a book he got from heaven knows where, trying not to look in the direction of the bathroom.

Of course he wouldn't dare. He knew that it would only make him uncomfortable. It had taken quite a long while to calm his discomfort.

However, the woman still felt paranoid although each time she looked over at him, he was minding his own business.

Perhaps this was her retribution for peeking at a bathing man.

...

When she was done taking a bath, she dried her hair and changed into a showy red lacy nightdress that was quite showy. It left her full breasts half exposed and only covered her thighs halfway. It accentuated her slim waist and since she was still a little flushed from the hot bath, she looked even more attractive. The underwear beneath the nightdress was so provocative that she would have been better off not wearing it.

Don't get her wrong- she was not trying to seduce anyone. That was just the most decent piece of clothing around.

Earlier she had asked Small Xixi to prepare some clothes for her to change to and have them delivered in the suite. Who knew that the perverted girl's taste would be so 'exciting'?

The other nightdresses were even worse, and the clothes she ordered online would be delivered in the morning.

She could only make do with this for now.

Sighing, she took her phone and played a romantic song.

Mu Zhichen had no words to describe this situation. After changing into such clothes, she was playing such a torturous song. Was this an invitation of sorts?

"I owe you a dance from two nights ago." Lu Meili said timidly and took his hand.

Mu Zhichen let her pull him from the bed. "I thought you would be too tired after the day's activities."

The girl placed her hands on his shoulders. "I'm refreshed from the bath."

Mu Zhichen tried to look away from her chest.

Was she overestimating his self-control?

"The wedding was much better than I ever dreamed off." She said, smiling so much that her eyes were like crescents.

"It was all thanks to you." She added.

"It was little effort on my part." Mu Zhichen was modest, although his tail would be wagging up a typhoon if he had one.

The dance continued slowly and in silence...

Until Lu Meili lost her footing and fell against his chest.

He was steady and didn't topple over, but he clearly felt her body press against him.

"Enough dancing. We should go to sleep." He used up his remaining sense or rationality to say this.

If she provoked him one more time, she would only have herself to blame if something dangerous happened to her.

Lu Meili nodded and hurriedly climbed onto the bed. Just now, she felt a bump on his lower body when she fell onto him. He was...

Amid her blushing, she saw him head for the bathroom again.

'Another cold shower?' She thought.

This wouldn't do. They were sharing a bed and they were married now. This fact alone was enough to trigger any man's desires.

Would he have to spend the night in cold water?

In a swoosh, she rushed over to him and hugged his back.

Mu Zhichen jolted when he unmistakably felt that pair of bumps on his back. His breathing spiraled out of control. "What are you doing?"

Lu Meili went round and stood in front of him, hugging his neck. "Zhichen, we are husband and wife now."
