Yu Huiyin was smiling brightly in the bath. She was not some demure lady, and she was actually testing Xi Jingyu by dropping her clothes and bathing when he was present.
They were going to be living together for a long time; she needed to know what his personality was like. If he had peeked, she would be annoyed and dislike him, but he had been proper and not even tried to peek. Hence she was feeling more goodwill towards him.
But she needed to know what his limits were. When was he going to lose control? Why had he picked her?
She was not so silly as to think that a tycoon like him had fallen for her at first sight. Was it merely because she was his savior? Was it because she was poor, so she could not revolt? Was it because he was attracted to her face?
Although she could not figure out why she could still think what to do about it, if Xie Jingyu was not attracted to her, it would be for the best. Then what they had would be purely a business deal, and she would be feeling much more at peace.
Deciding to sacrifice herself a bit more, she decided to test Xie Jingyu again by not taking the clothes he had prepared for her, but wrapping a bathrobe loosely around her body.
She exited the bathroom, her skin having a healthy flush from the warm water, her hair wet as drops of water slipped down her beautiful neck and entered the cleavage on the front, which was displaying a bit of her soft peaks.
Seeing such a sight, Xie Jingyu was stunned, he felt his throat instantly dry out, his adam's apple bobbed, and heat erupted in his body heading southwards.
Was this little girl seducing him? Should he pretend to be strong and play hard to get, or should he just gobble her up already? She was practically offering herself to him, looking like this!
Yu Huiyin was unaware of the effect her appearance caused to Xie Jingyu, as he was keeping a straight face throughout the entire process.
If she had looked a bit downwards, she would be so shocked and embarrassed that she'd not know what to do with herself due to the tent in his pants, but she was only looking at his face, which seemed to suffer from facial paralysis.
Sighing a breath of relief, Yu Huiyin came to the conclusion that Xie Jingyu had no interest in her. That he merely wanted to use her as a pawn, and that her body would be safe.
Thinking like this, a brilliant smile spread across her face. If that was the case, then she did not mind their teamwork any longer. It was just a job like any other.
The brilliant smile stunned Xie Jingyu, who was already feeling troubled about whether or not to make a move, but when he came to his senses, she had already turned around and went to the closet to find clothes.
Xie Jingyu was simply too restless. He knew that he could not act on his desires, as it would scare her, and thus he hurried into the bathroom. He needed to kill the fire in his body.
Stripping off his clothes in a hurry, he rushed under the cold water, but the scent of Yu Huiyin hung all over the bathroom, every breath he took was full of the same gentle shower gel he had smelled on her just moments before.
After coming out of the walk-in closet, Yu Huiyin could not see Xie Jingyu anywhere, but she heard the splashing of water from inside the bathroom and instantly knew that he was taking a shower.
She could not help but find it slightly odd. Why would he need a shower? There was still a bit of time before evening, so it was an odd time to wash up. With her, it was due to the red wine that had been poured onto her hair and face, but what about him? Why did he suddenly need a shower?
Was he a neat freak? Because he had helped her wash her hair, he too needed to clean himself?
Unable to think of any other reason, Yu Huiyin accepted this as the answer.
She looked at the big bed and could not help but lay down on it. It was big, soft, and comfortable.
The pillows were soft like cotton, the blankets warm and not at all heavy.
Without realizing it, after laying down for merely a few moments with closed eyes, she drifted off into sleep.
It took Xie Jingyu a sizeable amount of time to get out of the shower. He had not brought any clothes with him inside, so he had a towel around his waist as he exited, wishing to see Yu Huiyin's reaction. But upon looking around the room, his eyes landed on the sleeping beauty on his bed. A smile broke out on the man's face.
The bed was his. The house was his. Now this woman was his too. She could forget everything about him setting her free again. The more time he spent with her, the more likable he found her. Although he was not sure about what kind of feelings he held towards her just yet, they were definitely positive.
Looking at her sleeping face, he shook his head, gently caressed her cheek before he turned around and entered the walk-in closet to find some clothes for himself.
When he came back out, he saw that Yu Huiyin was still sleeping on the bed, and he slowly went over, rustling her slightly.
"Wake up, dearest," he said, "we need to have dinner soon; you can sleep again afterward."
Yu Huiyin woke up, feeling slightly disoriented, but his words made her mutter under her breath, "do you think I'm a pig?"
