Chapter 17: Hotter Than Her

That night, as Tang Xin took a bath, she thought for a moment… and added some fragrant essential oil into the bathtub.

Didn’t the concubines in imperial palaces always soak in baths with flower petals?

The essential oils in her bathroom were all naturally extracted and very healthy.

She was about to go sleep with the big boss…

Although the last time she had slept with Yue Yuze, she’d been drunk and remembered nothing, not even whether she smelled good or not… This time, she had to make sure she smelled amazing.

“If I’m going to sleep with him, I might as well give it my all…”

Either don’t do it, or do it thoroughly.

There were only two options.

“Oh, right… This time, I have to make sure he remembers to use protection. But…” She thought about it and figured Yue Yuze might not be prepared. So, as she bathed, she considered subtly hinting at him?

With that thought, she reached out for her phone nearby, opened Yue Yuze’s contact, and hesitated. Although she had never actually called him herself, she did have her “husband’s” number.

Holding the phone, she hesitated before typing, erasing, and finally editing a message before sending it.

Ding—

Yue Yuze had just finished his shower. As he walked toward the bedroom, towel-drying his hair, his phone buzzed on the desk.

He walked over and picked it up. The screen was still lit.

The sender was marked as: Tang Xin.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. His long fingers swiped the screen, opening the message.

“Mr. Yue, are you really asking me to come to your room? Um… have you prepared? You know, the kind that ensures I won’t have any worries afterward…”

After reading the message, the curve of Yue Yuze’s lips deepened. He leisurely typed a reply:

“If I’ve decided to give you something, naturally I won’t leave you with any trouble.”

After sending the reply, he opened his contacts, scrolled down, and stopped at a name marked Shen Yan. He clicked it and dialed…

Meanwhile, Tang Xin finished her bath, blow-dried her hair, and returned to the bedroom before checking her phone.

Seeing Yue Yuze’s reply, she sighed softly. “This scumbag male lead has no shame at all… He’s so… so… blunt!”

Ensuring she had no worries afterward… So he had already prepared protection?

It seemed Yue Yuze wasn’t acting on a whim but had planned this for a while.

Now, the choice was hers… go or not go?

It was a simple two-choice question without a definitive right or wrong answer.

As she blow-dried her hair, she hesitated.

Sleeping with him once was still sleeping with him. Twice was also sleeping with him. Countless times… well, that was still sleeping with him. So why not one more time?

Might as well test whether the male lead she had written really was as… thrilling as she had imagined.

“Wow, looks like I have no shame either… wahhhh~~~~~”

She tugged at her sleeve shyly.

Once she completed the little beauty’s mission, she could return to her own world. At that point, wouldn’t Yue Yuze just be… someone she left behind without looking back?

“Hehehe…” Wasn’t that how people described scumbags?

Applying that to herself… didn’t quite fit, right?

Never mind, better to be someone with principles.

After finishing her hair, she changed into her pajamas.

Just then, the clear voice of the little beauty system echoed in her mind:

Ding! Random task issued: The transmigrator must seduce the male lead or engage in intimate relations with him. Completing this task will grant a random reward package. Prizes are also random.

Reminder: If the task is not completed within an hour, it will be considered forfeited.

Tang Xin perked up, excited. “Little Beauty, what kind of prizes might there be?”

Little Beauty: Prizes are random, but they’ll definitely benefit you. Time is running out. Will you take on this task?

Tang Xin stood up, resolute. “Of course I will! Just let me… let me change into something sexy!”

With that, she headed to the closet.

Her current pajamas were too conservative—her style.

But the original owner of the body had prepared several seductive nightgowns to tempt the male lead. Besides the one worn the first night, there were still four or five sets she hadn’t used.

She chose a pure black, sexy nightgown.

It had a deep V-neck and a thigh-high slit. Calling it seductive was an understatement—it was outright revealing.

After changing, she strutted out of her room, heading toward Yue Yuze’s.

Dressed provocatively, she walked with exaggerated confidence, as if on a catwalk.

Little Beauty: Ding! Reminder: Even if it’s just seduction and not actual intimacy, the transmigrator must at least kiss or hug the male lead. Tasks that are too perfunctory will be deemed failures.

Tang Xin: …

Is there really a need to be this serious?!

As it turned out… yes, there was.

When she knocked on Yue Yuze’s door, he opened it himself. The moment he saw her in her nearly revealing outfit, his sharp brows arched, and his dark eyes deepened. Without a word, he reached out, yanked her into the room, and slammed the door shut with surprising force!

“Tang Xin, you…” His gaze fell on her, cold and scrutinizing.

“Mr. Yue~~” Tang Xin leaned closer, rising slightly on her tiptoes. Her soft, moist lips brushed against his thin, attractive ones.

His lips were thin and sexy—hotter than hers.

Yue Yuze froze for a moment. A tingling sensation spread through his body, momentarily numbing his nerves. His rationality resisted, but his body reacted uncontrollably, a searing heat rising within him. Even his mouth felt parched, as if craving something.

Her soft lips lacked any distinctive flavor, yet the kiss intoxicated him, leaving him wanting more…

He reached out and gently gripped her soft waist, but clarity returned to his mind. He quickly pushed her away. “What are you doing?!”

Dressed so provocatively, entering his room only to kiss him…

“Tang Xin, are you trying to seduce me again?!”

Tang Xin blinked, confused. “But… but didn’t you tell me to come to your room?”
