Not long after, Feng Jin suddenly felt that her legs were not so painful anymore, and she could stretch them freely.
I wonder what kind of miraculous medicine he used that could make his wounds heal so quickly.
She looked up and met Mu Beichen's gaze, then whispered, "Thank you."
"Just thank me verbally?"
"Prepare water, I need to bathe and change." He turned around and sat down, raising his chin and pointing at her, saying matter-of-factly, "You... come with me."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin immediately became agitated: "Why should I? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'm not going!"
"On what grounds?" Mu Beichen curled his thin lips slightly, revealing a cold smile: "On the grounds that you deliberately tricked and let Su Yu's people go."
She bit her lower lip and glanced coldly at Mu Beichen. It seemed that these days it was really easy to owe favors, especially to someone as troublesome as Mu Beichen, someone you couldn't even touch.
Feng Jin followed him into the bathroom, wondering how to avoid him later. In a moment of carelessness, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her forehead, as if she had been hit hard by a copper wall. But when she looked up again, she realized that the copper wall that was pressed against her face was actually Mu Beichen's bare chest!
His tanned eight-pack abs were practically within reach; his physique was so perfect it was almost criminally tempting. This...this...
What exactly did she see?
Mu Beichen spread his arms on his own, a hint of coldness flashing in his beautiful eyes as he looked at the other person, and his magnetic voice entered Feng Jin's ears.
"Never taken off your clothes before?"
Feng Jin strongly suspected that this guy was deliberately using his good looks to seduce her!
She stared intently at his handsome features, and found herself unconsciously becoming nervous. In her haste, she closed her eyes and began to fumble around on his body with her hands, but she couldn't manage to untie his belt for a long time.
Mu Beichen frowned, feeling an unbearable itch all over his body, as if waves of turbulent water were about to surge out from within him.
After a long pause, he shouted, somewhat embarrassed and angry, "Feng Jin, open your eyes and look at me!"
Upon hearing the sound, Feng Jin was startled and immediately opened her eyes. Her dark, lively pupils swept over him, and she realized that he was only wearing a nearly transparent nightgown, with the collar open and revealing his bronze abs. For a moment, she felt an urge to pounce on him and give him a squeeze.
She quickly turned her head away, but her wildly pounding heart couldn't calm down. She became completely panicked and didn't even notice when Mu Beichen walked into the pool.
Looking at the man sitting quietly in the bathtub with his eyes closed, Feng Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Taking a closer look, she noticed that his skin was really good and his figure was quite attractive. Overall, he looked very charming.
Suddenly, she met Mu Beichen's gaze, a look as captivating as a demon's. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending to be nonchalant.
This deadbeat is actually quite good-looking. Come to think of it, keeping him as a pretty face isn't so bad.
She kept chanting incantations while stubbornly wiping his body, finally bringing this tumultuous psychological battle to a close.
Suddenly, Mu Beichen spoke calmly, "Be careful, don't just do it half-heartedly."
"Mu Beichen, don't go too far. If you think I'm not serving you well, you can get someone else to do it!"
She glared angrily at the troublemaking man in front of her, her anger flaring up instantly, and she didn't want to stay in this wretched place for another second.
"I went too far?" Mu Beichen waved his arm, instantly wiping away the water droplets on his skin, and sneered coldly: "It's not as far as you deliberately injured yourself and went easy on Su Yu's people. You dared to openly cause trouble right under my nose, Feng Jin. Do you really think I'm just a decoration?"
Forget it, I'm not going to bother with this scumbag. If I can't afford to mess with him, can't I at least avoid him?
Clenching her fist in anger, Feng Jin turned to leave, but was suddenly pulled hard from behind, causing her to slip and fall into the pool.
"Oh my god! Help! Help... I'm drowning!"
Feng Jin plunged headfirst into the water, swallowing several mouthfuls of water unexpectedly, which frightened her so much that she screamed repeatedly.
Mu Beichen crossed his arms in front of him, watching the woman thrashing about in the pool with a calm expression, his heart as still as a lake.
Daring to play tricks on him? Today, he'll make this woman taste the bitter fruit of her own actions!
At this moment, the servants guarding the door heard the commotion inside the room, and their minds immediately began to race with all sorts of thoughts.
"I never expected the prince to have changed so much. Even taking a bath can cause such a huge commotion. I wonder if the princess's delicate body can handle it."
After thrashing about in the water for a while, Feng Jin finally managed to get up. Unexpectedly, she found herself standing face to face with Mu Beichen, who was staring at her with a mocking expression, his eyes reflecting her disheveled state.
Enraged, she shoved Mu Beichen away and jumped out of the pool, fleeing the bathroom in a few strides.
Back in her room, she saw herself soaked to the bone in the bronze mirror, looking like a drowned rat. She sighed with a worried expression. Su Yu had sent Ye Qi to the Jing Prince's mansion tonight, only to have him caught red-handed by Mu Beichen. What's worse, after this incident, Mu Beichen would definitely be wary of her, making it even more difficult for her to leave in the future.
Out of desperation, she quickly made up her mind about another idea.
