Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Previously, Lin Xiaowan had told Huo Zheng that Lu Yingxin was a little enthusiastic. At that time, Huo Zheng had sensed that something was wrong so he asked his assistant to investigate Lu Yingxin. Later on, when his assistant was reporting the results of the investigation to him, his assistant had mentioned Lu Yingxin’s relationship with Old Master Li.

Lu Yingxin could not even be considered a lover of Old Master Li. Their relationship was purely a transaction. One gave money and resources while the other sold herself.

Huo Zheng also knew the other party did not live in Xilin Imperial Garden. Old Master Li had provided her with a house in another high-end neighborhood.

Unfortunately, Huo Zheng did not recognize Lu Yingxin. Otherwise, he would not have had any interaction with her at all earlier.

However, it had to be said that the results of the investigation did not have any issues related to Lu Yingxin’s character or morals. Moreover, her background was quite clean, and she graduated from a famous university.

Despite that, Huo Zheng was still prejudiced against Lu Yingxin. In any case, he did not plan to tell Lin Xiaowan about these things since it would only make her feel troubled.

“It’s nothing. Most people in the entertainment industry are not simple. It’s best not to get close to them. When you make friends, you have to be discerning. Do you understand?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement. She knew that the entertainment industry was chaotic. Although she did not pay much attention to celebrities, she had seen quite a few ridiculous headlines about celebrities.

As soon as they entered the room, Huo Zheng urged her to take a hot shower.

She did not bring a change of clothes or pajamas with her, and Huo Zheng did not want her to wear the hotel’s robe. As such, he called the concierge and asked for someone to buy them for her.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan had just hung up her clothes when an idea appeared in her head. She walked over to Huo Zheng who was running a bath for her before she hugged his waist. Then, she deliberately said in a delicate and pretentious voice, “President Huo, I really didn’t mean to come into your room! Please let me go!”

Huo Zheng glanced at the hands around his waist and gulped. Then, he said cooperatively, “No. Who knows if you did it intentionally?”

Seeing that he was cooperating with her act, she grew even more enthusiastic. She moved closer and said, “President Huo, what must 1 do before you’ll let me leave?”

Huo Zheng felt his blood surge seeing the woman in front of him enthusiastically role-playing. He pulled her into his arms and said, “What?

Didn’t you think of the consequences before entering my room?”

“No, don’t do that! I, I have someone 1 like. President Huo, please don’t do this,” Lin Xiaowan said, pretending to struggle and refuse. She pretended to cry, but she could not hide the smile on her face at all. She was clearly enjoying herself.

“Someone you like? Who do you like?” Huo Zheng asked. He said these lines smoothly as though he had heard them before. He trapped her with one arm while he lifted her chin with his other hand before he continued to say, “You can only like me.”

Lin Xiaowan could not help but laugh out loud. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his throat before she said, “Actually, I’ve liked you for a long time. I was afraid that you wouldn’t like me so 1 came up with this plan. I…”

Before she could finish her words, Huo Zheng, who could no longer endure it, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard.

Lin Xiaowan was kissed until she was out of breath. She gripped the front of his shirt tightly, and her body leaned against his softly. When she regained her senses, she was already sitting on his lap.

Huo Zheng’s hands moved around her body as he kissed her ear. A teasing smile could be seen on his face as he whispered in a low and hoarse voice, “You’re getting bolder.”

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

With that, Huo Zheng forced himself to calm down. He quickly carried her into the bathtub and said, “Soak in there for a while.”

Lin Xiaowan’s skin was slightly red. Her face was also red, and her eyes were slightly teary from being kissed so hard. As she sat in the bathtub and looked at him expectantly, Huo Zheng felt like he was going to die, and it took a lot of effort for him to walk away.

Initially, Huo Zheng thought that the hotel had sent someone to bring the new clothes over. To his surprise, it was room service. The hotel employee had brought a pot of brown sugar ginger tea.

“Hello, Mr. Huo. Miss Lu from Room 1104 ordered a pot of brown sugar ginger tea and told us to send it to your room.”

Huo Zheng’s face was expressionless. He placed the pot of tea on the cabinet near the entrance. He had no intention of letting Lin Xiaowan drink it. However, after taking two steps, he paused. He lifted the lid of the pot and saw that there was also poached egg in the brown sugar ginger tea. Thinking that the tea had been sent to the room directly from the kitchen and that Lu Yingxin had no contact with it at all, he decided to let Lin Xiaowan drink it. After all, it could indeed ward off the cold. There was no harm in giving her some.

With this, Huo Zheng brought the pot of tea to the bar and kept it warm.

At this time, the doorbell rang again. This time, another hotel employee came to deliver the clothes. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒏𝙚𝙩

When Huo Zheng finally returned to the bathroom, Lin Xiaowan was about to fall asleep. She asked sleepily, “The clothes are here?”

“Yes.”

After placing the clothes in the disinfection cabinet, Huo Zheng walked over. Looking at the yawning Lin Xiaowan, he asked, “Are you sleepy?”

“Not really. It’s just that you were gone for a long time, and I was bored.”

Huo Zheng smiled slightly. After he stepped into the bathtub, he dropped a kiss on her neck and said, “You won’t be bored now…”

“Wait… We’re still in the bathtub…”

He held her waist and pulled her into his arms as he said, “It’s fine…”

She held onto his arms, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

All in all, Huo Zheng was very satisfied with their bath.

When everything was said and done, Huo Zheng helped Lin Xiaowan put on her pajamas before he carried her to the bed. She leaned against him softly and quietly. Seeing how cute she was, he lowered his head and kissed her again.

At the same time, Lin Xiaowan smelled a sweet fragrance in the air. She asked, “What’s that smell? Did you buy something delicious?”

“Lu Yingxin sent a pot of brown sugar ginger tea over. Do you want to drink it in bed or in the living room?”

Lin Xiaowan decisively chose to stay in bed. As soon as Huo Zheng placed her on the bed, she sighed comfortably. Then, she complained, “My knees and waist hurt…”

The surface of the porcelain bathtub was hard after all.

“I’ll massage them for you later…”

Huo Zheng hugged and coaxed her for a while before she finally stopped complaining. After that, he heated the brown sugar ginger tea before bringing it to Lin Xiaowan.

Lin Xiaowan listened to the sound outside and said, “It’s still raining, and the wind is really strong. Previously, when the weather was bad, Little Chestnut would sleep with us. 1 wonder if she’ll look for Aunt Wu tonight.”

Little Chestnut was very clingy with Lin Xiaowan. If Lin Xiaowan was not around, it would look for Huo Zheng. Only if the two of them were not around would it look for another person.

“Eat the poached egg as well,” Huo Zheng said. At the same time, he sat on the edge of the bed and massaged her knees slowly. He did not forget to say, “Your feet are sticking out of the blanket again. You have to keep them warm.”

Lin Xiaowan did not pay attention to his words at all. She held the small bowl and brought the poached egg to her mouth. Then, she said, “There are two of them. I’ll give you one..”
