Chu Tianche walked out of the bathroom, covered in steam. The hot steam instantly blurred the air in the room and woke Chen Xiaoru from her daze.

He walked out with wet hair, with water droplets running down the ends of his hair, which sparkled brightly under the light.

The bathrobe was tied loosely around the waist, revealing the taut chest muscles. Water droplets were still hanging on the bronze skin, giving off a refreshing feeling as if he had just taken a shower.

He walked to the bedside and his eyes fell on Chen Xiaoru. Seeing that she was still at a loss, his brows slightly furrowed, but his tone slowed down a little:

"Sit on the stool."

Chen Xiaoru felt uneasy when he stared at her. She instinctively took a half step back, twisting her hands in front of her, her eyes wandering around, not daring to look him in the eye.

"President...you, what are you going to do?"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Chu Tianche seemed to see through her nervousness, and a faint arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of comfort:

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

As he spoke, he lifted a corner of the quilt, his movements casual and elegant, then lay down on his side, his tall body sinking into the soft bed, looking even more lazy.

He has been almost going crazy these days due to insomnia. His head is buzzing as if hundreds of bees are flying around, making him extremely irritable.

He wanted to try and see if the scent of gardenia that night was really that magical.

That night, he slept for a full eight hours, which was a complete dream for him!

Seeing that he did not make any further move, Chen Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the velvet stool beside the bed and sat down as he said. She kept her back straight and placed her hands neatly on her knees, looking reserved and uneasy.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the soft ticking of the wall clock. Chu Tianche closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes casting a faint shadow under his eyelids.

Chen Xiaoru secretly raised her eyes, and in the dim light of the wall lamp, she studied his profile. His facial features were sharply defined, his nose was high, and his lips were tightly pursed. Even in his sleep, he exuded an innate majesty.

Gradually, a faint and elegant fragrance of gardenia filled the room, like an invisible silk thread, entwining and lingering, and penetrating into Chu Tianche's nostrils.

His furrowed brow gradually relaxed, his breathing became steady and long, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, before finally sliding shut.

Before long, low and even snoring sounds filled the room.

Chen Xiaoru stared blankly at Chu Tianche lying on the bed. Her originally anxious heart was finally relieved, and was replaced by a kind of speechless feeling that was both funny and sad.

She couldn't help but complain in her mind: After all this time, all this noise and no action, all they did was make me sit around and watch him sleep! I thought something earth-shattering was going to happen, but this is it? This?

Chen Xiaoru watched him lying there quietly, breathing evenly and long, his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing, and she let go of all her defenses and aggressiveness.

She could even clearly see the tiny hairs on his face, and whispered in a low voice: I wonder how you maintain such good skin.

As I thought about it, my cheeks couldn't help but blush and my heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

Chen Xiaoru patted her face.

"Chen Xiaoru, you've made it big. You actually looked at a man for the entire afternoon."

“Bang, bang, bang!”

A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet corridor, as if it was going to knock the entire door down.

Chen Xiaoru was startled, her heart suddenly tightened, and she muttered in confusion: "Who is it at this time?"

She subconsciously looked back at Chu Tianche lying on the bed and saw that he seemed to be woken up. His brows were slightly furrowed and his eyelids moved, as if he was showing signs of waking up.

Chen Xiaoru didn't dare to delay and hurried to the door. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then reached out to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, before Chen Xiaoru could see who was coming, she felt a flash in front of her eyes and a burning pain on her face. Then, with a crisp "slap", a loud slap landed hard on her right cheek.

The huge force caused her head to tilt to one side, her vision went black, her ears buzzed, half of her cheek went numb instantly, and then it felt like a burning pain.

Chen Xiaoru only felt a "buzzing" sound, stars appeared in front of her eyes, half of her face was burning with pain, and it felt like hundreds of flies were buzzing in her ears.

She swayed and almost fell to the ground. She finally stood up with great difficulty.

This sudden slap stunned her. When she came to her senses, the anger in her heart suddenly surged up and made her eyes red.

She stared at the woman at the door who was dressed like a fairy. There was a hideous smile on her face that she hadn't had time to retract, which made people angry just by looking at her!

"Are you fucking sick?!"

Chen Xiaoru had never been humiliated like this before. Without a second thought, she cursed back, "How dare you hit me? Are you tired of living?!"

As soon as Chen Xiaoru said this, the woman was stunned at first, and then she covered her mouth and giggled as if she had heard a huge joke. The laughter was sharp and piercing, which made Chen Xiaoru even more angry.

"Hit you? I'm hitting you, you shameless vixen!"

The woman pointed at Chen Xiaoru's nose and cursed arrogantly, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? With your character, how dare you seduce Brother Tianche?"

Chen Xiaoru was so angry that she was shaking all over. She hated being called a vixen the most in her life! She stared at the woman intently, with only one thought in her mind: If I don't kill you today, I won't be named Chen!
