Seeing his darkening eyes, Ni Sitian, fearing he might hold a grudge later, quickly changed the subject: "Did your sister just return to the country yesterday?"

Xu Tingchuan didn't answer, but squinted and asked, "You really believe what Qin Mubei said?"

"No, no." Ni Sitian quickly shook her head, anxiously explaining, "I know he was deliberately trying to sow discord. It's not that I believe him, I..."

Seeing her anxious and flustered expression, Xu Tingchuan lowered his head and kissed her again, his teeth slightly parted to suck and bite her lips. This kiss was somewhat domineering, with an irresistible force.

Ni Sitian went from being stunned at first to slowly wrapping her arms around his neck and responding awkwardly.

As their lips and teeth intertwined, Xu Tingchuan's hand gradually slipped inside her open back, touching the back clasp of her bra, and deftly unhooked it with his fingers.

As soon as the little cutie inside loosened her grip, Ni Sitian snapped out of her daze, froze for a moment, and then grabbed Xu Tingchuan's hand.

"Mrs. Xu, let's continue what happened last night, hmm?" Xu Tingchuan looked at her with dark eyes, his nasal voice incredibly sexy.

"I...I want to take a shower, I smell like alcohol," Ni Sitian said softly.

"Alright." Xu Tingchuan released Ni Sitian, and just as Ni Sitian was about to stand up, he picked her up horizontally and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Let's shower together."

Ni Sitian wrapped her arms around his neck, her face flushed even more. She wanted to object, but he had already strode into the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door closed, hot water flowed into the bathtub, and steam swirled in the bathroom, making Ni Sitian feel warm all over.

She was so shy that she buried her head in Xu Tingchuan's chest and refused to lift it up.

Xu Tingchuan chuckled softly, took off his and her clothes, carried her into the bathtub, then sat behind her, encircling her in his arms, their skin touching intimately.

Ni Sitian was a little flustered and didn't know what to do. She leaned against him stiffly, and after feeling something hot, she was so embarrassed that her face almost blushed.

“Xu Tingchuan…” She didn’t know why she was calling him; her mind was blank at that moment.

"Hmm?" Xu Tingchuan gently sucked on the back of her neck, his hands squeezing out shower gel, and began to wander restlessly over her body.

She tensed up, instinctively reaching for Xu Tingchuan's hand, her voice soft: "I...I'm scared."

"Relax, it's just a shower," Xu Tingchuan whispered, biting her earlobe.

Trusting him, Ni Sitian slowly loosened her grip, took a deep breath, and tried to relax as much as possible.

Xu Tingchuan found her shy appearance incredibly cute and couldn't resist the urge to devour her whole.

However, fearing he might frighten her, he chose to be patient and first did his best to tease her body until she softened.

He turned her around so she was facing him, hooked her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

As the bathroom temperature rose, the kiss became increasingly passionate and uncontrollable, and Ni Sitian succumbed to it, feeling weak.

Suddenly, a sharp pain brought Ni Sitian back to her senses. She frowned slightly and let out a soft moan.

Before she could prepare herself, the pain became increasingly intense. She opened her mouth and bit Xu Tingchuan's shoulder, letting out a low whimper.

Xu Tingchuan held her close, feeling a pang of heartache. He paused, hesitating whether he should continue.
