Despite her attraction, Ningxiang was well aware of her place. She wasn't the chaste and virtuous top courtesan Shen Youyu; being able to spend a night with Xiao Lang was already quite an achievement.
Xiao Yu jumped into the bucket, closed his eyes, and decided to soak for a while to relieve his fatigue.
