Her back slammed against the wall, the man’s strong arms propped by her neck carrying an invader’s breath.
Li Shengxiao’s gaze was fixed on her blushing lips, he took a deep breath, suppressed the surge of heat in his lower abdomen, and let go of her, “It’s nothing.”
That moment, he almost lost control of himself.
This had never happened before.
His temples throbbed with pain from the deliberate suppression; it was time for his medication, but he had not returned to Country Garden today, and the medicine was not on him.
Li Shengxiao furrowed his brows, his slender fingers pinching the bridge of his nose.
Rong Yan saw his pale face, and although she didn’t want to get involved, she still supported his arm, “Are you feeling unwell?”
He looked to be in great pain!
Li Shengxiao’s temples buzzed, and that familiar sensation was coming on again.
His tall figure swayed and he distanced himself from Rong Yan, mustering the strength to say, “I’m fine, probably just tired. A shower will do me good. Could you get the bathrobe I left on the sofa for me?”
He brought a bathrobe, so why didn’t he just shower at home? She’d been acting as his maid for so long!
Rong Yan’s mood swung quickly, and she readily agreed, “OK.” She walked toward the living room.
The sound of water could also be heard from the bathroom.
After an hour of being a bathroom cleaner, her back ached, her legs cramped. It was a pity that it wasn’t time to rest yet!
Rong Yan sighed, resigned to quickly clean up the house again while he was showering. Especially the often-scattered small bros, she quickly picked up.
She even threw the bra she had hidden in the bedroom into the washing
The washing machine started rumbling to life.
Rong Yan stretched her neck and straightened her bent back to return to the living room.
The sound of water could still be heard in the living room.
“Huh, still showering?”
This damn shower was taking way too long!
She couldn’t help but walk to the bathroom door and knock, “Mr. Li, I’ve hung your bathrobe outside. You can get it yourself later.”
Aside from the sound of water, there was no other sound inside. Rong Yan frowned slightly, “Mr. Li? Can you hear me?”
Inside there was still only the sound of water, not a single response!
Rong Yan stopped in her tracks completely.
Her voice wasn’t soft, and even with the noise of the water, he should have been able to hear her.
Rong Yan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door again, “Mr. Li?”
There was still no response from inside, but she heard a very faint groan mixed with the sound of water.
She didn’t knock again, instead, she burst the door open and charged in—The scene in the bathroom stunned her!
The man, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat slumped in front of a large aquarium, his clothes drenched, the wet white shirt transparent enough to clearly reveal the honey-colored muscles beneath it, with water dripping from his dark hair. His face was so pale it looked bloodless, as if all the blood had been drained, and his handsome, almost divine face was contorted in pain. His right hand was clenched tightly over his heart, indicating the severity of his self-inflicted grip to endure the agony. Yet even so, his suffering did not seem alleviated in the slightest, not even his thinned lips escaping being bitten until they bled..
The entire scene was filled with a forbidden aesthetic, utterly dazzling.
Rong Yan was momentarily dazed by the sight before her.
She quickly came to her senses, darted forward, and supported the drenched man, “Li Shengxiao, what’s wrong with you?”
