Time reversed, memories flashed...
Suddenly, four years ago!
***
Sitting on the white toilet, Gu Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief.
From Pear Blossom Town to Jing City, she had been on the bus for a whole day and night. When she got off, she didn't even have time to use the restroom before she was taken straight back here.
Here...
The first prominent family in Jing City, the Lu family!
Allegedly, her mother was the 'Young Mistress' of this family, a 'Young Mistress' who had been exiled at the age of twenty.
Sad? Ridiculous?
Upon arriving, Gu Qianqian didn't have time to marvel at the astonishing luxury of the Lu Mansion in Jing City. She just hurried into her 'own' room.
She pressed the flush button...
The sound of rushing water seemed particularly evident in the quiet space, instantly rousing the person who was asleep in the bathtub…
Lu Zhanbei, the Third Young Master of Lu.
Naturally, the bathroom, his private territory, was off-limits to others.
But...
He rose from the bathtub in annoyance, grabbing his pure white bathrobe from the side.
He opened the bathroom door and stepped out...
————————————-
Hearing the noise behind her, Gu Qianqian froze...
Unconsciously, she turned around. The depths of her misty eyes instantly collided with a… well… a sight.
It was an incredibly charming man.
He was in a bathrobe, the slightly short black hair on his head damp, but still stubbornly sticking up.
The waterdrops at the tips of his hair were crystal clear, adorning his rugged outlines...
Gu Qianqian blinked, her gaze lifted upwards, and plunged right into a pair of eyes as deep as oceans.
Their eyes met, a wave of inexplicable silence fermented silently between them.
The bathroom light was off, but something brighter caught Lu Zhanbei's attention.
A young girl, with a pair of eyes as dark as a black swan.
Just a fleeting glance at her, and he was smitten!
Her gentle eyelashes concealed her twinkling eyes, glittering like stars, illuminating one's heart...
Lu Zhanbei, silently examined the girl in front of him while frowning, and Gu Qianqian was likewise in silence.
Actually, she was... breathless...
Because she could have never expected that she would meet such a handsome guy in the restroom.
Lu Zhanbei's face was cool, handsome, and cold...
The bathroom light refracted on his sleek facial lines, making his face seem even more perfect.
His narrow phoenix eyes were restrained and deep, constantly flickering with an intimidating cold light.
The lines of his side face were perfect, a high nose, thin lips tightly pursed at the moment, around him, the chill was intense...
"I... I didn't know that there was someone else in here..." And an extremely attractive, opposite sex at that.
But isn't this her room?
And she was just...
However, this man was just taking a bath in the bathroom next door.
This realization made her unbearably embarrassed. Gu Qianqian's neat little face quickly turned red, then blazed with embarrassment: "I'm sorry! I'll leave right away..."
She hurriedly backed away, but misstepped and fell off the step…
