After their "Massage-turned-makeout session" ended, they tidied up and turned to serious business. Li Yuchen had also sent a voice message. The two of them listened to it together.
"Grandma, Dad is really making progress with my Goddess now. But we need your help. Let's just say Dad is totally clueless about dating. I mean, I can definitely do better than him. He does the weirdest things!
"If we can cooperate and help him, then I'd have a loving mother and you would have a wonderful daughter-in-law. I have been helping him already, but it's not enough. So let's work together."
Zhang Heying and Li Qianye looked at each other after the voice message ended. Zhang Heying spoke first,
"Old man, I think you need to suspend management lessons and give your son dating lessons instead. That son of yours is good at everything except what is important!"
"You're right, Wifey. I need to do something." Li Qianye said, hating the iron for not becoming steel.
"I have another idea. Call Li Chuanmo now and let's tell him we're coming to visit. We can stay for a few days and show him what dating should look like."
"Ah, that's a brilliant idea! Wifey, you're really smart!"
"Of course, whose wife am I?" Zhang Heying said smugly.
Zhang Heying sent her grandson a reply, while Li Qianye dialed Li Chuanmo's number.
When he picked, Li Qianye said, "Chuanmo, we plan to come to your house tomorrow and spend a few days with you guys."
"Father. Did something happen?" Li Chuanmo had just finished with his work in the main study and was on his way to see Pei Yueran. He sat down again when he saw his father's call.
'Nothing, we're only trying to save your love life', Li Qianye roasted him inwardly.
Outwardly, he said, "Nothing much. We have missed you and want to spend sometime with you. Besides, your mother is still worried about Ran'er, and we want to see her."
They didn't plan to tell him the main purpose of their visit yet. They wanted to see for themselves the true state of their relationship, without any exaggerations.
Li Chuanmo furrowed his brows. He was not sure he wanted them to visit now —he still wanted to spend more time alone with Pei Yueran. But he couldn't say no to his parents.
"Alright then. I'll tell Yueran and Xiao Chen. We will be expecting you.
"Good. See you tomorrow Son."
"Okay Father."
After he ended the call, Li Chuanmo made his way to Pei Yueran's room. He knocked. At pei Yueran's soft "Come in", he pushed the door open.
"It's you."
"Yes, were you expecting someone else? How are you today?"
"Sort of. I was hoping it was Jiahui. I need her help to wash my hair. I'm fine, just that my scalp is itchy." Jiahui was the worker specially assigned to Pei Yueran to bring her food, help her go to the restroom, and help her with other things, especially when Li Chuanmo was not around.
"Oh. I can help you with that if you like." Li Chuanmo said on a whim.
"You?" Pei Yueran looked sceptical. No matter how she looked, she just couldn't imagine Li Chuanmo gently washing a woman's hair.
"Sure. I can do it."
"Okay, I'll be in your care then."
Pei Yueran stood up and Li Chuanmo helped her to the bathroom. Although the wound on her thigh was healing well, she was still limping slightly.
When she was properly seated on a stool facing the mirror, he stood behind her and put a towel around her neck.
"I'm starting now."
He took the water spray and wet her hair, then poured shampoo in his hands, rubbed his hands together and lathered her hair.
He then massaged her hair gently. Her hair was very soft and shiny. He loved the feel of it. As he massaged the shampoo into her scalp, the shampoo's rich lavender scent diffused throughout the bathroom.
The smell, the gentleness and the pleasant sensation that came from her scalp being soothed made Pei Yueran so comfortable that she made a sound of pleasure.
That sound startled Li Chuanmo, who was holding the water spray. It went off by accident, spraying both of them with such force that they were fully wet in seconds.
The shock of the water made Pei Yueran jump up. But unfortunately her injured leg buckled, and she fell against Li Chuanmo, causing him to fall as well.
Both of them landed on the floor in a heap, but Li Chuanmo managed to get Pei Yueran on top of him, to cushion her from falling too hard.
Everything happened within a few seconds.
Pei Yueran felt as if her internal organs had changed places due to the fall, but fortunately, her wound did not burst open. She maintained her position on Li Chuanmo, trying to catch her breath.
Li Chuanmo had fallen heavily, but he only sustained a bruise. Both of them laid on the bathroom floor, just breathing.
Then Pei Yueran looked at Li Chuanmo and started laughing. They were both wet, and Pei Yueran still had shampoo foam in her hair. She found the entire situation hilarious.
Li Chuanmo, who wanted to ask her if she felt pain anywhere, sighed in relief. He then started laughing as well.
Pei Yueran made as if to stand up, but Li Chuanmo gently pressed the back of her head. He looked at her, as if seeking her consent.
She gave a tiny nod.
When their lips were about to touch, there was a knock on the door. It was Jiahui.
"Miss Pei, I came to ask if you need anything?"
Pei Yueran sprang away from Li Chuanmo so fast that she pulled on her injury. She gasped in pain.
Li Chuanmo, who was still grumpy over the fact that they had been interrupted, reacted immediately he heard her cry of pain.
He barked at the door, "No, she doesn't need anything. You may leave."
Jiahui couldn't believe her ears. Was that the Master just now? He sounded so angry, did she just interrupt something?
Hot! Incredible!!!!
Jiahui scurried away to go and tell her fellow workers the explosive news.
