As Fu Qingxiao descended the stairs in a royal blue, dark-patterned ice silk French bathrobe, his jet-black hair still glistened with tiny water droplets, he looked at Yun Xinyan, who was elegantly drinking coffee in the living room.

Her slightly wavy long hair fell gracefully on both sides, but her face showed a hint of loneliness.

Fu Qingxiao suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He had gone to take a shower alone, leaving her here, which seemed somewhat inappropriate.

After all, she was just a girl.

Fu Qingxiao walked over, her voice not as cold as usual, and asked, "Are you all alone?"

She raised her face, her eyes still seeming somewhat confused, and then nodded obediently.

Fu Qingxiao felt even more guilty and said, "I left in a hurry just now..."

“You have a lot of books here. My aunt showed me a few just now. They were so wonderful, but I read them too fast and they were all finished.”

"..."

So, her dejected and uneasy appearance just now wasn't because she was left behind, but because she had finished reading the book.

So, the book is more important than him?

Fu Qingxiao felt a vague, inexplicable emotion stirring within him, one that even he himself couldn't quite grasp.

"It's getting late." Yun Xinyan closed her book and stood up gracefully. Fu Qingxiao watched her leave with a strange feeling in his heart, but then he saw that she did not go outside, but went upstairs instead.

"Where are you going?" Fu Qingxiao called out to her.

She turned her head gracefully, her gaze flickering, stirring up ripples of emotion.

"My aunt just said that since we're going to get married anyway, there's no need to be so formal, so she'll let me sleep in your room."

"!!!"

Yun Xinyan had already gone far away, but her image kept appearing in his mind. Her eyes and brows still held a hint of beauty and affection, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

By the time he came to his senses, the woman had already disappeared around the corner.

As if he had thought of something, he ran quickly to the bathroom and, sure enough, heard the sound of running water coming from inside. His beautiful figure could be vaguely seen on the bathroom glass.

His body stiffened involuntarily, and his breathing became somewhat heavy.

He withdrew his gaze and hurried away, but accidentally bumped into something and made a sound.

The sound of flowing water gradually stopped, and Yun Xinyan's charming voice, still carrying a hint of moisture, asked, "Who?"

Fu Qingxiao was about to hurry away when a sweet voice rang out from the bathroom again: "Could you do me a favor?"

"What?" The emotions he had just suppressed surged up again, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"Mr. Fu, is that you?" Her voice was tinged with a hint of anticipation.

"Lend me a bath towel." Her voice was languid.

"..."

That pesky little devil!

Are you sure she didn't do it on purpose?

This made Fu Qingxiao's heart seem to leap with joy, just like her slightly rising tone.

"Hold on."

Fu Qingxiao took a brand new bath towel from her wardrobe, walked to the door and said, "It's at the door."

A slender, fair arm stretched out, glistening with moisture, making it even more alluring.

Her slender fingertips brushed against his as she took the towel, sending a tingling, electric current from her fingertips to his heart.

It left behind a beautiful tremor.

"Thanks."

She answered after taking the towel inside.

"Did Mr. Fu use it?"

This is the first update, there's more to come!
