"I'll just take a quick cold shower; you can step out."
Mai Xiaomai said.
"No way! You can't take a cold shower! You must come home with me and take a hot one!"
"What if I say no?"
"Then I will have to use force!"
Having said that, Qiao Chutian actually reached out, scooped her up along with the towel, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
Mai Xiaomai struggled and kicked...
Qiao Chutian slapped her on the buttocks, "Keep still or I'll smack your butt!"
Mai Xiaomai didn't dare to move anymore!
Initially, because she had been suddenly drenched in cold water, her body felt cool throughout, but now having been smacked on the buttocks, she instantly felt a burst of warmth, as if her blood was boiling...
After Qiao Chutian carried her out of the bathroom, he saw a blanket on the bed and picked it up, wrapped her in it, and then carried her downstairs like that.
