Shen Wenran turned her gaze to the window.
As if on cue, a torrential downpour began outside the window.
—See? Bai Xiangyi is quite a good actress.
—Isn't it just that you want to stay? Do you need so many excuses?
Therefore, Shen Wenran calmly accepted Bai Xiangyi's words and said lightly, "Oh, Mom, it's raining so hard outside, and Grandpa is old and not in good health. Why don't you stay here? Anyway, there are plenty of rooms here. I'll have the servants vacate two more rooms."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiangyi was delighted and turned her gaze to Old Master Lu.
At this moment, Grandpa Lu nodded and said, "The rain is really too heavy. In that case, let's leave it here."
Shen Wenran gestured with her chin toward Wang Ma, who immediately went to tidy up the room.
Bai Xiangyi continued, "You don't need to worry about us. You all go and rest. You all have to work tomorrow, so get some rest early."
—See, see, they're making us go back to our rooms to rest.
—According to the usual tropes in novels, when we rest later, Bai Xiangyi and the old man will definitely be listening to what's going on inside by the door.
—If we hadn't made any noise, they would have definitely come and questioned us.
With a faint smile on her lips, she responded and then said to Lu Jinghuai, "Honey, it's getting late, let's go back to our room and rest."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinghuai followed him into the room.
Once the door closed, the two sat on the edge of the bed, looking at each other in silence.
Before she could speak, Lu Jinghuai said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Shen Wenran flopped onto the bed and said, "Oh, go ahead."
It's such a shame that I can't enjoy this big, soft bed all by myself tonight.
Lu Jinghuai went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Shen Wenran took out her phone and told Luo Anwen what had happened earlier.
Upon hearing this, Luo Anwen immediately sent a 50-second voice message.
She first denounced Lu Jinghuai's shamelessness, and then concluded with a single sentence.
"Actually, Lu Jinghuai is a dog, but he's really handsome. I dare say, in the entire Yun City, or even the entire Yan Kingdom, there is absolutely no CEO whose looks can compare to his."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenran couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He muttered to himself, "I'm not bad either."
Luo Anwen continued to chuckle in the voice message: "Yeah, yeah, you're not bad either. You two look like a perfect match, but it's a pity you just don't click."
Shen Wenran cannot deny this point.
"Yeah, he's just not attracted to me, there's nothing I can do. There are plenty of fish in the sea."
Luo Anwen seemed to be alone tonight, so she talked a bit more and chatted with her for a while.
Finally, he threw her a sentence: "Shen Wenran, you said you wasted three years of your youth on him, but you didn't even touch his body. After tonight, you won't have another chance."
"I guarantee that if you dare to make a move, not to mention one Lu Jinghuai, even ten of them would have to submit to you."
Instead of directly converting Luo Anwen's voice message to text, Shen Wenran selected voice playback.
Just as she was playing this clip, Lu Jinghuai happened to open the bathroom door and walk out.
Upon hearing the voice message, Lu Jinghuai's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.
Shen Wenran's heart pounded at this moment.
—Damn it, did he hear everything just now?
—Waaaaah, this is so embarrassing.
—However, Luo Anwen is right. She has been waiting for such a handsome man for more than three years without even touching him. It's a huge loss.
When she turned to look at Lu Jinghuai, she saw that this scoundrel was only wearing a bath towel when he appeared in front of her.
His hair wasn't completely dry and was hanging messily over his forehead.
This made his originally ascetic features instantly appear more arrogant and unruly.
Water droplets slid down his collarbone, and following the droplets downwards, you could see his perfect abs.
—Oh no, I'm going to get a nosebleed. When did this jerk develop abs?
—Damn, this man's face is handsome, and his body is amazing too.
It would be a waste not to eat it, it would be a waste not to eat it.
Lu Jinghuai heard her thoughts but showed no sign of anything amiss on his face.
Instead, he went straight to the bed and lay down.
Shen Wenran was startled by his actions and immediately got off the bed.
What are you doing?
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinghuai looked at her and uttered a puzzled "Hmm?"
She suddenly realized that the two of them were very likely eavesdropping at the door.
To prevent Grandpa Lu and Bai Xiangyi from using the same trick again and causing her unnecessary trouble, she has to play her part completely this time.
She immediately softened her tone: "Honey, wait in bed for a bit, I'm going to take a shower too."
After saying that, her cheeks flushed, her heart started pounding, and she went into the bathroom in a panic.
Only when the water fell on her did she feel her mind clear up a bit.
Damn it, she suddenly understood why the emperor stopped holding court after meeting a beautiful woman.
If she were an empress, with such a handsome man by her side, she would never hold court again.
She quickly washed herself clean and changed into a silk dress, a nightgown she already had at home.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but now, wearing a silk nightgown and looking at the low neckline, she felt insecure.
So she grabbed a bath towel to cover her front and then, like a quail, went to the bedside.
Once she reached the bedside, she put the bath towel down and tossed it on the bedside table.
