Yu Lili had just been dragged into the bathroom when she heard her phone ring outside. Without a doubt, a call at this hour could only come from Shen Zhilie.

This scenario called to Yu Lili’s mind the events that had transpired in the hotel the night before. She began to blush uncontrollably. When she looked up, she found Ou Ming staring at her.

His eyes were teasing and suggestive at the same time. He pulled her over and lowered his voice, asking, “Why is your face so red? What are you thinking of?”

Yu Lili glared at him. Without replying to his question, she snatched her hand back and said, “I’m going to pick up the phone.”

“Pick up the phone?” Ou Ming raised his eyebrows. With an air of arrogance, he smiled and asked, “We’re not going to bathe anymore?”

“Get the water going,” she said. “I’ll help you bathe in a moment.”

“Together. Why are you abandoning me?” Ou Ming held her hand, but it wasn’t to lead her into the shower. Instead, he pulled her onto the bed.

Ou Ming picked up the phone that was ringing incessantly. He smiled when he looked at it. “I thought it’d be Shen Zhilie.”

“It isn’t?” Yu Lili reached over. “Who is it, then?”

“Ye Qianqian.” Ou Ming tossed the phone to Yu Lili.

Yu Lili looked at her phone. Indeed, it was Ye Qianqian. She answered the call and heard Ye Qianqian sigh heavily over the phone. “Hello, Qianqian?”

“Lili! My life is so hard!” Ye Qianqian whined bitterly. She quickly began to spill all her grievances out. They ranged from Ye Youyou’s injury, to cursing at Shen Luo’an, and criticizing the Shen family as animals.

Toward the end of the conversation, Ye Qianqian asked Yu Lili to request for leave from the company on her behalf so that she could look after her sister. Only then was Yu Lili able to hang up the call.

In the bathroom, Ou Ming had already filled up the tub. As he unbuttoned his shirt, he walked over to Yu Lili. She had just hung up the phone and was feeling heavy-hearted.

Ou Ming arm weaved across her chest and wrapped around her waist. With his lips against her ear, he murmured, “It’s time to bathe.”

Yu Lili’s ear was tickled. She laughingly moved away. With a coquettish flair, she complained, “You have to let me get in.”

Ou Ming didn’t want to let go. Looking at her petite frame, he felt a tinge of regret. Had his arm not been injured, he would have immediately carried her into the bathroom, undressed her, and put her in the water. With the use of only one hand, there was no way he could carry her.

He had no choice be to loosen his hold reluctantly. His eyes trailed her body as he commented, “It’s grown.”

When Yu Lili heard that, she instinctively touched her hair by her ears. Just when she was about to speak, the cell phone rang again. This time, it was Shen Zhilie.

Ou Ming saw the name clearly on the screen. His brows rose.

Yu Lili looked at the phone, but she wasn’t in a hurry to respond. She sat on the bed and answered the call.

Ou Ming’s expression darkened. His plans to go into the bathroom had been interrupted. With each knee on either side of Yu Lili’s body, he lowered himself and pushed her onto the bed with his arm.

Yu Lili yelped out in surprise. At the same time, the call had just connected. The caller heard everything clearly. She quickly covered her mouth and glowered at Ou Ming.

Ou Ming acted as if he hadn’t notice her expression and commented out loud, “Is it Shen Zhilie? Answer the call then. We can continue later.”

Yu Lili stuck her foot out and gave him a hard kick, clearly annoyed. The way he said it made it seem as if they had been up to something.
