He Jingyao had one hand on her waist and the other on her buttocks… His torrid palms felt as if they were about to incinerate them.

Meeting the man’s eyes, which were getting darker by the second, Su Zhixi felt her eyes cloud over!

They did so with shame, fury, and indignation!

“Young Master He, what exactly do you want?” She gritted her teeth.

“Only a bath.” He smiled lazily. “I know that you barged in ’cause you were worried, so I won’t blame you.”

Su Zhixi felt her chest ache from the anger.

He won’t blame me? Should I be feeling oh-so-grateful for that?!

“Then, can I please ask you to let go now?” The words were literally forced through her teeth.

“You will fall if I let go.” He sounded serious and had an innocent expression. “Wasn’t it like that just now?”

Su Zhixi felt like crying.

She wanted to say, If not for your sabotage, I wouldn’t have fallen!

Alas, would this shameless man admit to it? Would he? Would he? Would he?

“I won’t this time! I promise!” She glared.

“Okay, then.” He Jingyao smiled lightly and finally released her from his grasp.

She silently sighed in relief and struggled to climb toward the side of the bathtub. However, the moment she moved, she instantly froze.

A split second later, she quickly realized what that thing was!

She felt as though she had been struck by lightning! Her eyes widened in terror and uneasiness. Her body tensed up, and she dared not move an inch.

This man actually… He actually…

She instinctively turned toward him and spotted a hint of restraint in his lazy smile… as well as the immense and immeasurable lustful desires in his deep eyes.

She suddenly felt her throat turn dry.

What was more terrifying was—What should she do? She did not dare to move at all, yet the man beneath her was a ravenous wolf just biding his time. He could swallow her entirely at any moment!

Still, just because she did not move, it did not mean that the man would remain still either. With just the force from a mere chuckle of his, she could already feel that scorching presence again…

It was fortunate, though, that she was biting down on her lips and suppressing her urge!

The temperature seemed to rise slowly, and the lust in He Jingyao’s eyes became denser… His dark eyes were like a web as it prepared to capture and devour her!

No, this could not continue!

She knew that her cheeks were already flaming, but she still tried to keep her cool outwardly. She eyed the side of the bathtub resolutely, as though that was her salvation…

Alas, she soon realized another problem.

Her body was pivoted on the man and, hence, it was inevitable for her to have some physical contact with him…

If she wanted to lift her leg out, she would have to use her hands as the pivot. Yet the bathtub was too deep and she was unable to reach it. Her only choice was to press against the man’s chest.

If she attempted to move her torso out first, she would still need her legs to be the pivot… That was akin to giving this man a chance to do as he pleased. That was out of the question!

As he perhaps sensed her awkward position, He Jingyao’s lips turned up again.
