Chapter 689 Bathing Shen Qingling looked up at Lu Xuexue sitting opposite her and said in a calm tone:

"As soon as Zhao Shuo left the airport, he was taken away by a few spoiled brats."

Lu Xuexue was sipping a glass of warm water when she heard this. She paused slightly, looked up at Shen Qingling with a knowing look in her eyes, and asked softly:

"Is it that Wang Teng?"

She had told Shen Qingling about meeting Wang Teng that day.

“Yes, it’s him.” Shen Qingling nodded, tapping her finger lightly on the phone screen to close the notification interface.

"And then there's his henchman who always wears wire-rimmed glasses; when the two of them get together, nothing good ever comes of it."

As she spoke, as if she had thought of something, she shook her head slightly, a hint of disdain in her eyes:

"However, to be fair, Wang Teng is not as simple-minded as he seems. He is very meticulous and has a keen eye for observation."

"He must have guessed something, knowing that Zhao Shuo had a grudge against Gu Luo some time ago, which is why he went to find Zhao Shuo specifically," Shen Qingling added, her tone certain.

She understood Wang Teng's mind all too well; he seemed like a playboy, but in reality, he was the best at leveraging power and finding stepping stones.

Lu Xuexue put down her water glass, placed her slender fingers lightly on her knees, thought carefully for a moment, then looked up at Shen Qingling and analyzed the situation incisively:

"They want to use Zhao Shuo as a stepping stone to get in touch with Gu Luo first, and their ultimate goal is to get close to you, right?"

After all, it was no secret that Shen Qingling had traveled across half of China to pursue Gu Luo, and it was her family background that those spoiled brats really wanted to curry favor with or exploit.

Listening to Lu Xuexue's clear and accurate analysis, Shen Qingling looked at her with even more admiration.

She originally thought Lu Xuexue was gentle and intelligent, but she didn't really understand the intricacies of these circles. She never expected her to see things so clearly.

Shen Qingling nodded slightly, her tone carrying a hint of approval:

“That’s right, you’re absolutely right. That’s exactly what they’re planning, trying to use Zhao Shuo as a pretext to get involved with me.”

"As long as they can get in touch with me, they can do even better in the capital... Although they all come from good families, they are still low-class playboys at home."

The sounds of Gu Ximan and Luo Shuling laughing and joking came from the bathroom, a stark contrast to the serious analysis being conducted by the two people in the living room.

As the setting sun gradually slanted westward outside the suite, its rays streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows of the two figures on the floor and adding a touch of undercurrent to the seemingly peaceful afternoon.

On the other side.

The bathroom was filled with warm, milky steam, like a soft veil, enveloping everything in a hazy glow.

In the spacious jacuzzi, the water ripples, reflecting the pink light from the ceiling lamp.

As for why it's pink, don't ask. It's just a rich person's little whims.

After taking off her clothes, Luo Shuling immersed herself in the water first, and the warm water immediately embraced the girl's curvaceous body.

She leaned against the smooth wall of the tub, the water level just covering her delicate collarbone. Below that was her full, undulating silhouette, partially visible beneath the ripples. Further down, through the clear water, one could see a slender, supple waist and the full lines of her hips and legs.

She raised her hand to lift her wet, long hair, and water droplets slid down her swan-like neck and rounded shoulders, disappearing into the deeper ripples.

The girl's hair used to just cover her ears, but now it's grown longer and is almost up to her shoulders.

"Xiao Man, take this!" Luo Shuling smiled and suddenly scooped up a handful of water, splashing it at Gu Ximan, who had just cautiously peeked in.

The water is still a bit hot.

It is common knowledge that girls' bath water is much hotter than boys' bath water.

Those of you who have girlfriends, and who shower with them or shower behind them, understand.

"Ah!" Gu Ximan exclaimed softly as warm water splashed onto her fair skin.

Not to be outdone, she immediately retaliated, using both hands to create an even larger wave of water.

Unlike Luo Shuling's more graceful curves, Gu Ximan's figure is fuller, with the youthful firmness unique to young girls.

As it moves, its body stretches out like a fish underwater, its flat abdomen, straight long legs, and exaggerated curves in front of its chest all creating a captivating silhouette in the shimmering water.
