Qin Youbei looked at herself, disheveled indeed, and realized that she had no choice but to clean up, so she didn't bother with the formalities with Uncle Wang and followed him to the bathroom he mentioned.
The bathroom Uncle Wang referred to was large, with areas for both showering and soaking. On a raised platform next to the bathtub, there was even a bottle of red wine and a wine glass. The decoration was gaudy yet lacked elegance and finesse.
This kind of opulence could be seen throughout the villa; Qin Youbei didn't think much of it, locked the room from inside, and began to clean herself up.
The ticking of the clock on the wall marked the passage of time, second by second.
In the yard, seeing Gu Xiao coming out of the swimming pool, Uncle Wang hurried over with a towel and handed it to him: "Young Master, dry off."
Gu Xiao took it, wiping off the water as he walked inside the house.
Uncle Wang followed close behind with quick, short steps.
