Lu Huan's personality is like a cat's; her curiosity always comes at a price.

For example, right now, she could have just left, but she insisted on going over to see if Gu Zhendong was angry, so she curiously approached Gu Zhendong and asked, "Husband?"

The house behind him was brightly lit, and the light shone on Lu Huan, casting a long shadow on the water's surface, creating ripples as the water rippled.

As Lu Huan bent down, Gu Zhendong, with a smirk, suddenly turned around and, before Lu Huan could react, grabbed her ankle with one hand, revealing a triumphant smile, "Didn't I catch you?"

She offered herself to him!

Gu Zhendong's palm was very warm as he gripped her ankle. The coldness in her ankle numbed her nerves, leaving her momentarily numb. She just stared blankly down at her ankle, then at Gu Zhendong, and exclaimed, "You!"

With a sudden pull of his wrist, Gu Zhendong caused Lu Huan's body to tilt into the pool. With a splash, Lu Huan landed awkwardly in the water.

Gu Zhendong put one hand around her waist, pinning her against the pool wall and trapping her in his arms. "Was splashing water fun just now?"

Um... could she please not answer this question?

Regardless of the answer, the outcome for her is unlikely to be good!

Suddenly, she realized that inviting Gu Zhendong to the hot springs was a mistake. The man's eyes were fixed on her, so aggressive, as if he wanted to devour Lu Huan alive.

Having done so many things with him, Lu Huan knew his gaze better than anyone else.

Could he be planning to have a hot spring play session?

Her heart pounded wildly, and the thought of running away arose in her mind. She pretended to cough, "Cough cough, I'm suddenly a little thirsty, I'll go back first!"

"You think you can just leave after provoking me? You think it's that easy?" Gu Zhendong squinted at her, biting her pink earlobe. "You'll have to put out this fire before you can leave!"

"I wasn't flirting with you!" Lu Huan retorted softly, lowering her head and not daring to meet the man's burning gaze. She just wanted to play around with him, but who knew he would take it so seriously.

"Let me go!" Lu Huan pushed him, but the man in the water didn't move, only the water surface was rocking violently. She made an excuse, saying, "I need to go in. It's too cold in here. If you don't let me in, I might catch a cold!"

Gu Zhendong knew she was making excuses. She had been soaking in the water for so long without being afraid of catching a cold, but now that she was in his arms, she said she would catch a cold. Was she trying to fool him?

Gu Zhendong smiled, "Perfect timing to do something that generates heat!"

"I don't want to!"

Before she could finish refusing, Gu Zhendong pinched her chin, kissed her lips, and sealed her words of refusal.

Whether or not to take it is ultimately up to the individual.

The two of them usually indulged themselves at home. Gu Zhendong had dragged her to the shower more than once, but they were both standing up. Lu Huan couldn't take it after a while, so he had to finish quickly and then move the battlefield elsewhere.

Such a large pool has one advantage: Gu Zhendong pinned her against the pool wall, and the water surface swayed violently with their movements.

In the empty courtyard, Lu Huan clenched her teeth, afraid that others would hear her voice, and dared not make a sound.

The water was more exciting than she had imagined, and Lu Huan couldn't handle it at all. When he came in, he brought a lot of water in with him. Lu Huan couldn't help but let out a soft moan, bit his shoulder, and urged him indistinctly, "Gu Zhendong, are you done yet?"

"It's only just begun, how can it be over already?"

Just beginning?

I really want to lock this jerk out tonight and let him sleep there. He's so mean, he just keeps bullying people.

The man used more and more force each time. It was Lu Huan's first time doing it in the hot spring water, and she couldn't take it anymore. Soon she started crying and begging the man, "Husband, can we go back?"

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to help but make a sound and let the people next door hear, which would be embarrassing.

Gu Zhendong replied coldly, "No, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

After being tossed and turned countless times by Gu Zhendong, Lu Huan felt weak and exhausted all over, and didn't want to move at all.

Gu Zhendong wrapped Lu Huan's body in a bath towel and carried her into the bathroom.

While I was washing her body, I couldn't resist and did it again.

Lu Huan was so angry she wanted to curse, "Gu Zhendong, you're a bastard!"

Gu Zhendong hummed in agreement, "You're that bastard's wife!"

Lu Huan: ...

Unable to argue with him, unable to out-argue him, and even weaker than him, Lu Huan felt so wronged that she just wanted to cry.

...

Before going to sleep, Lu Huan buried her face in Gu Zhendong's arms and cried, "If I can't go skiing tomorrow, it'll all be your fault!"

The original plan was to go to the ski resort at noon so I could sleep in.

When Lu Huan woke up, the sun was out.

Fortunately, after a night's rest, Lu Huan felt no abnormalities and breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Zhendong said worriedly, "If you're not feeling well, just rest at the hotel today. You can go skiing tomorrow."

Lu Huan glared at him fiercely, "You have the nerve to say that? Are we here to have fun or... you know!"

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have gone out to play during New Year's Day!

"Last night, wasn't it you who seduced me first?"

"Nonsense, I didn't!"

You invited me to go to the hot springs with you!

"..."

Lu Huan wanted to slap herself; she shouldn't have said that last night.

After filling her stomach, Lu Huan dressed neatly and prepared to go downstairs to the lobby to meet up with Yan Shi, Fu Hanshen, and the others.

After waiting downstairs for a while, Yan Shi and Fu Hanshen still hadn't arrived. Lu Huan idly tugged at Gu Zhendong's palm and said, "Why haven't they come down yet? Didn't we agree to meet in the lobby at 12:30 last night? Why don't we go up and check on them?"

"Let's make a phone call and see!"

"I just called, but no one answered, and they haven't replied to my messages yet!" Lu Huan showed him the call log. "Are they still sleeping?"

"That's possible!"

"Let's go up and take a look!"

Lu Huan pulled Gu Zhendong toward the elevator. The elevator opened with a ding, and as she was about to step inside after the people inside came out, she heard a surprised exclamation beside her: "Sister?"

Lu Huan didn't react at first, until the other person grabbed her hand. Lu Huan looked up at the person in front of her and saw that it was Lu Sangsang.

Lu Huan was also shocked. How did she end up running into her here? "What a coincidence!"

Lu Sangsang had a delighted smile on her face. "I saw on your WeChat Moments that you came here for fun. I didn't expect that we would be staying at the same hotel. It seems that we sisters are really in sync!"

Lu Huan chuckled. Who wants to be telepathically connected with you?

Yesterday I was thinking it was impossible to coincidentally be in the same place as Lu Sangsang, and today I bumped into her. I'm really unlucky.

But with Lu Sangsang's sincere smile, Lu Huan couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh, and casually asked, "Did you come alone?"

Mentioning this, Lu Sangsang blushed slightly, "No, I came with Chu Jun!"

Is Chu Jun here too?

As soon as Chu Jun was mentioned, he arrived.

Lu Sangsang spotted Chu Jun at a glance and waved excitedly at him, "I'm here!"

Chu Jun was waiting for Lu Sangsang in the lobby early in the morning, but he was sitting in the opposite position from Lu Huan, so they didn't notice each other.

The moment Lu Huan saw Chu Jun, she secretly glanced at Gu Zhendong out of the corner of her eye. What a coincidence!

Chu Jun was quite surprised to see the two of them there, but he quickly calmed down, called out "President Gu," and then turned his gaze to Lu Huan, "Huanhuan!"

The way he addressed President Gu was so unfamiliar, but Lu Huan's name came out very smoothly.

Gu Zhendong hadn't taken Chu Jun seriously at first, but hearing his provocative tone, an unnamed anger began to grow in his heart.

Lu Huan chuckled, "Are you all on vacation together?"

To outsiders, Chu Jun and Lu Sangsang were indeed a perfect match, and it was perfectly normal for a couple to go on vacation together. However, only the two of them knew the truth about their situation.

Chu Jun did not refute, so Lu Sangsang explained, "No, actually he had official business to attend to, so it can't really be considered a vacation."

He even takes her to work; what else could this be but a subtle display of affection?

Lu Huan smiled without saying anything, and Lu Sangsang then asked curiously, "Sister, are you going to the ski resort?"

Lu Huan had just nodded when Lu Sangsang said with a smile, "That's such a coincidence! We're going to the ski resort anyway, why don't we go together?"

"this……"

Lu Huan turned to look at Gu Zhendong beside her, her eyes pleading for help. How could she possibly get rid of Lu Sangsang and Chu Jun?

If Lu Sangsang still seemed to dislike him, he could easily break off all ties with her. But as the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and Lu Huan really didn't know how to deal with the overly enthusiastic Lu Sangsang.

However, if Gu Zhendong refuses, there won't be any major problems, since he's not one to enjoy being around others.

Gu Zhendong chuckled inwardly at Lu Huan's pleading look, but his face remained expressionless. "We made plans with other people, so we won't be joining you!"

The invitation to go skiing together was just a polite remark by Lu Sangsang. She wasn't too surprised when Gu Zhendong rejected it, since she didn't want to ski with Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong anyway.

Her purpose in coming on vacation was to cultivate a relationship with Chu Jun and make him fall in love with her.

The presence of Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong will only disrupt her plans.

"this……"

Lu Sangsang looked disappointed and bit her lip. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chu Jun beside her say, "It's alright. It's more fun when there are more people playing together."

Lu Huan looked at Chu Jun in surprise. When did he become so shameless?

They had already rejected him so clearly that even Lu Sangsang could tell!

Since Chu Jun had already said that, the two of them couldn't say anything more. After all, they would have to see each other again in the future, and it wouldn't be good to make their relationship too strained.

Lu Huan wanted to go up and call Yan Shi and Fu Hanshen, but just then Yan Shi hurriedly called, "We overslept, wait a moment, I'll be right down!"

Lu Huan: ...No wonder he doesn't reply to messages or answer phone calls.

"We've been waiting for you two, hurry up!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Twenty minutes later, Yan Shi and Fu Hanshen hurriedly came down.

She was initially quite happy, but when she saw Lu Huan with Lu Sangsang by her side, she was extremely surprised. Why was Lu Sangsang there too?
