Chapter 36

But as soon as that heat source moves away, she can’t help but want to press against it again.

This sensation feels like it’s driving her crazy.

At the last moment, Luo Wan suddenly feels weightless.

Immediately, she’s lifted up and carried towards the direction of the bathroom.

Luo Wan opens her eyes, looking at Sheng Qing in confusion.

She sees him smiling softly.

“Little clingy cat, I’ll finish washing first.”

Hearing his words, Luo Wan blushes deeply.

Embarrassedly, she buries her face in his smooth chest and mumbles, “Coming in and being so affectionate right away, I thought it was you.”

“You thought I would come straight in.”

Luo Wan buries her head without saying a word. After a moment, she shyly says, “Actually, occasionally not washing isn’t a big deal.”

After saying this, she feels Sheng Qing’s chest shake.

Blushing, Luo Wan doesn’t understand why he’s laughing again.

“It seems like my wife has been starved these past few days, hence being so impatient today.”

“Don’t worry, wife, husband is very efficient. Won’t make wife wait too long.”

“You women are the most delicate, can’t be careless about such things.”

Luo Wan feels utterly embarrassed. How did she become this image?

She was just afraid that the two of them would take too long in the bathroom.

Thinking back to last time, her body is still trembling.

Sheng Qing carries Luo Wan into the bathroom.

Due to the time constraints, there’s no water in the bathtub.

So, he directly places her under the showerhead, standing beneath it himself.

The overhead showerhead is turned on, water pouring down.

Both of them are soaked from head to toe.

Luo Wan’s wet hair sticks to her cheeks, her body constantly washed by the water. In the warm yellow light of the bathroom, she looks fatally attractive.

Sheng Qing is moved.

The two of them stick closely together.

A few minutes later, Luo Wan is forced to lean over the washbasin.

The man lovingly strokes her slender waist from behind, then bends down, twists Luo Wan’s head, and breathlessly kisses her lips.

After a moment, he lets go, letting Luo Wan look at herself in the mirror in front of the washbasin.

The sound of the showerhead’s water fills her ears, and Luo Wan feels like she’s going crazy, not daring to open her eyes to look at the mirror.

“Baby, open your eyes.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Luo Wan, please,” she grumbled.

“You look beautiful now, quickly open your eyes and take a look,” Sheng Qing whispered coaxingly in her ear. “Quick, look at us.”

His assault was too intense, half coaxing and half threatening.

Luo Wan had no choice but to obediently open her eyes.

Her round eyes seemed to contain water.

The scene in the mirror was too messy, and Luo Wan’s heart was about to jump out of her chest. She quickly closed her eyes again.

The shower in the bathroom was never turned off.

After two hours, Luo Wan was exhausted.

Even the final cleaning was done by Sheng Qing.

He held her in the bathtub, cleaning her as if she were a child, with exceptional care.

When washing certain areas, although Luo Wan felt embarrassed, she had no strength left and could only close her eyes, her face flushing red.

After washing up, Sheng Qing carried Luo Wan to bed and went to the study himself.

Sheng’s headquarters had just moved back to the country, and there were still a pile of things to deal with at the company.

And tonight, there was also a charity auction. He wanted to surprise Luo Wan.

In the study, Xu Zheng was already waiting.

He had just gotten off the plane and was immediately ordered to go to the company. After handling some matters there, he took the necessary documents and headed to Xiyuan.

He hadn’t even had time to drink water on the way.

But the CEO, who had ordered him to hurry, made him wait in the study for almost an hour.

Xu Zheng quietly arranged the documents and then reported on the company’s affairs.

After Sheng Qing got a general understanding of the situation, he let Xu Zheng leave.

In the bedroom, Luo Wan fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Exhausted from the fight last night, coming back late, and waking up early this morning, she didn’t feel like moving at all now.

She slept straight through until two in the afternoon.

Or more accurately, she was awakened by hunger at this time.

Her stomach growled incessantly, and Luo Wan had to endure the soreness of her body as she went downstairs to find something to eat.

Aunt Li had been keeping the food warm and quickly brought it to the table when she saw Luo Wan coming downstairs.

As Luo Wan sat down to eat, she saw Aunt Li hurrying upstairs.

Soon after, there was movement at the staircase, and the tall and upright figure of a man appeared.

After chewing and swallowing her food, Luo Wan asked, “Didn’t you go to the company?”

She thought he had.

This guy has been abroad for a few days, so he should be busy when he returns.

In response to Luo Wan’s questioning gaze, Sheng Qing calmly sat down at the dining table, picked up a new set of chopsticks, and started eating.

Luo Wan widened her eyes, glanced at the clock hanging on the living room wall, and then observed the man’s elegant eating manner.

“It’s already past two, and you haven’t eaten yet?”

She had fallen asleep from exhaustion, but he hadn’t.

The man just indulgently glanced at her, urging with concern, “Hurry and eat, it’ll get cold later.”

“I just went to call Young Master, and he said he was afraid you’d be bored eating alone, so he wants to wait for you to eat together,” Aunt Li chimed in with a smile.

The feeling of being cared for in this way warmed Luo Wan’s heart.

Having someone wait for her like this made her feel a little embarrassed.

Looking at the man obediently, she said, “Actually, you don’t have to wait for me. Just wake me up next time.”

Sheng Qing glanced at her and pinched the slightly guilty girl’s face affectionately, saying, “Little lazy pig, you can’t even be woken up.”

“It’s not like that…”

Before Luo Wan could finish her retort, she stopped herself.

Glancing at Aunt Li beside her, she blushed and lowered her head to continue eating.

The embarrassed look on the girl’s face made the man next to her smirk.

Aunt Li looked at the young couple with love in her eyes.

She had watched Young Master grow up since he was a child. He had always been aloof, rarely moved by anything. Especially after the accident that claimed the lives of the Master and Madam, Young Master became even colder.

This was the first time she had seen Young Master’s face light up because of someone’s words or actions.

It seemed Young Master had fallen.

Seeing Luo Wan’s face turning red, Aunt Li tactfully excused herself and left.

After the two finished their meal, Luo Wan had mostly recovered.

Though she still walked a bit strangely, she could move at least.

Sheng Qing then took her directly to Jerry’s styling studio.

Thinking about the charity auction tonight, where only the elite of A City attended, men aimed to make connections or expand their business while women attended in elegant attire.

As one of the top stylists in China, Jerry had the ability to turn decay into magic.

When he saw Luo Wan, his eyes widened.

But when he noticed that Luo Wan was dressed casually, his eyebrows almost furrowed into a peak.
