Fu Xiaoya suddenly asked, "Have you seen many girls drive? Maybe you've even ridden in their cars?"
This question caught Qin Huaichen off guard, and he quickly explained, "No, no, I've only ridden in my mom's car." He explained earnestly, acting in a manner as if he was afraid his girlfriend would get jealous.
Fu Xiaoya thought Qin Huaichen was so silly, completely different from the arrogant image he portrayed to the outside world.
"Cough cough." Fu Xiaoya had initially wanted to tease Qin Huaichen, but she couldn't continue now and simply said, "I'm going to sleep."
Qin Huaichen watched her and said, "Sweet dreams."
Fu Xiaoya closed the door, covering her rapidly beating heart. She felt that the online ranking of "the most desirable man to sleep with" was truly well-deserved. He was too enticing, too capable of inciting one's criminal desires. Just standing there, Qin Huaichen exuded an irresistible charm.
Fu Xiaoya jumped onto the sofa and rolled around on it, filled with excitement. She could still feel the warmth of Qin Huaichen's touch on her fingertips. She slapped her own face and said, "Fu Xiaoya, are you going crazy? Wake up, don't fall into temptation."
But another voice in her mind said, "But I really want to succumb. He is so alluring, so captivating, and I like him so much."
"But he's willing to entrust his life to me. He can trust me unconditionally." Fu Xiaoya muttered to herself, conflicting thoughts battling in her mind.
Just then, her phone, which had fallen on the ground, rang. It was a WeChat message from Qin Huaichen.
"I forgot to buy you new clothes when on the way back. Can you take a look here and see if there are any clothes you like?" Then he sent a link of a clothing store.
Fu Xiaoya clicked on the message and recognized the brand. It was a top-tier niche luxury brand, where the only flaw in their clothes was their high price.
But Fu Xiaoya remembered that this store was peculiar. It had fixed operating hours of only eight hours a day and closed on schedule. By now, it should have already closed.
"Will the store still make deliveries at this time?" Fu Xiaoya asked.
"Yes, go ahead and choose."
Then he sent another message: "It's my store."
Fu Xiaoya had an epiphany; it made sense why the clothing store had the same style as Qin Huaichen's. She tapped on the link and found a wide selection of clothes that catered to her basic needs. She added a set of pajamas, a dress for the next day, and some underwear to her cart.
However, when she was ready to check out, she couldn't locate the checkout button. Fu Xiaoya messaged Qin Huaichen, "Where can I check out? I've been searching for it."
Qin Huaichen replied, "You don't need to worry about that. Go wash up first. The clothes will be delivered to you shortly."
He intentionally withheld the information about the checkout location, and Fu Xiaoya couldn't help but feel that he was doing it deliberately!
Qin Huaichen sent another message, "The bath towels and toiletries are in the first cabinet of the bathroom. They are all brand new."
Fu Xiaoya entered the bathroom and saw a crystal cabinet filled with toiletries. She started to suspect that her room was equipped with surveillance cameras. Otherwise, how could Qin Huaichen be so familiar with her room? Just in case, she turned off all the lights in the room and checked every corner through the camera, but there were no signs of infrared. How did Qin Huaichen know then?
Just as she was thinking about it, Fu Xiaoya's phone lit up again. Qin Huaichen seemed to understand her doubts and explained, "Every room here is the same. The password for the cabinet is the last six digits of your ID card, which you used for check-in. Everything inside is safe and clean, so you can use it with confidence."
Fu Xiaoya was speechless, thinking that she had been overthinking.
Fu Xiaoya messaged Qin Huaichen, "How much are the clothes? I'll transfer the money to you."
Qin Huaichen replied, "They're not expensive. If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a meal."
Fu Xiaoya glanced at her phone. Although she didn't buy many clothes, it would definitely amount to tens of thousands of dollars. Treating him to a meal in exchange for clothes that were worth tens of thousands of dollars made her feel rather shameful.
Fu Xiaoya replied, "Then let me treat you to a few more meals."
"Sure." He couldn't ask for more.
Fu Xiaoya smiled and turned off her phone before turning it back on to reread their chat history. As she read, she started to doubt her own sanity and quickly put down her phone to wash up.
Fu Xiaoya didn't know if Qin Huaichen had timed it perfectly or if it was just a coincidence, but as soon as she finished blow-drying her hair, the doorbell rang.
Fu Xiaoya tidied her hair and deliberately lowered the towel, revealing the enticing cleavage on her chest. She looked at herself in the mirror, satisfied with her alluring appearance.
