“Because I was diving, of course I couldn’t hear you.” He curled his lips, his dark eyes carrying an obvious hint of flirtation, “Su Zixi, is it that you care about me this much?”

“No! I… I was just concerned about you out of humanitarianism!” Su Zixi felt stifled. “Since you’re fine, I’ll leave now, so I don’t interrupt your bath…”

Su Zixi’s eyes were a bit glazed, as she dared not look down.

Beneath the clear water, the man’s body was undoubtedly naked! She had realized it just as she rushed to the edge of the bath. Worrying about his safety back then, she hadn’t paid attention.

But now, embarrassment and shame almost drowned her!

Especially since the man’s hand was firmly gripping her waist… Today she was wearing clothes that exposed her waist, which meant his hand was touching her skin directly… The ambiguous touch seemed to pass through her entire body, rendering her immobile.

“Since you’re already wet…” His voice turned slightly hoarse as his gaze fell to her chest, “Why not soak together?”

Su Zixi’s top was a short T-shirt, now drenched and clinging to her skin, making her proud bust fully exposed. Inclined as she was, it made it even easier for his unabashed eyes to take it all in.

Her long, delicate neck and exposed chest were covered in water droplets, adding to the sensuality.

Most importantly, this woman was straddling him.

Her thighs trembled with nervousness and shame, touching his naked body… He Jingyao wanted nothing more than to pull her beneath him and kiss her fervently.

“No need!” Su Zixi’s face flushed bright red. “Um, Mr. He, could you please let go of me first…”

Soaking together? She’d rather die!

Besides, she now had every reason to suspect he did it on purpose.

If he was just taking a bath, why was the water in the tub so clear, without even a speck of foam?

Even if he was diving, she had called out twice. Even if he were underwater, it was impossible he hadn’t heard a thing, did he think she didn’t understand physics?

Most importantly, knowing she was waiting outside, why did he still take a bath… It was obvious he did it on purpose to make her worry and lure her in!

As Su Zixi thought about it, her watery eyes now held a hint of accusation.

He Jingyao smiled slightly and said innocently, “I can let go, but you will fall.”

“No, I won’t!” Su Zixi stated firmly.

He Jingyao released his hold obediently, but at the same time, his legs parted under the water.

As a result, just as Su Zixi was about to get up, she fell again. This time, her entire body lay against his, their bodies tightly pressed together without any gaps!

Su Zixi’s eyes widened, staring blankly at the handsome face close by, as if she couldn’t believe what was happening.

He Jingyao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his dark eyes deepening.

Her dazed expression at that moment ignited a burning desire within him.

He Jingyao spoke in a low, hoarse tone, “I told you you would fall. Do you believe me now?”

Su Zixi felt like crying.

What an idiot she was, really, knowing full well the man was doing it on purpose, why did she so confidently think she could leave the bath… Why didn’t she foresee his mischief? Why!

For now, He Jingyao simply held her waist with one hand, while the other gripped her hip… His searing hand seemed intent on consuming her whole.
