His clean scent shot up her nose. She held her breath as her heart thumped wildly.
Excitement.
She felt like she'd lost consciousness. Perhaps it was due to the fright of falling into the river or the feeling of suffocation underwater, she could not think of anything. She was startled and in a daze.
She could only remember the second before she shut her eyes. He rushed towards her like a warrior and held her in his arms tightly before they fell. His actions calmed her down and reduced her fear of being submerged in the water…
If there was one thing on her mind at that moment, it was bliss—she felt blissful that she wasn't alone.
As if unhappy with her distractedness, Mo Chenyan bit on her lips punishingly. Banxia frowned in pain. His agile tongue then quickly entered her mouth.
He held onto the back of her head, ran his fingers through her dripping wet hair and continued his passionate act.
Banxia was in a trance. She only came back to reality when she felt the air in her chest being sucked dry. She stared at him in shock and embarrassment.
"Ye Banxia, don't ever get distracted again!"
He warned her softly as he let go of her, with anger written on his face.
Banxia was stunned by his burning eyes.
Mo Chenyan saw water still dripping from her long eyelashes. She looked surprised and wronged, and coupled with her drenched clothes, it seemed as though she had been bullied.
His anger subsided as his lips twitched into a weird angle.
He carried her to the shore first before coming up. Water dripped from his white shirt and black pants. His ironed clothes were drenched and his short messy hair gave him a wild appeal.
Banxia stared at him and gulped anxiously.
There was something weird with how he looked at her just now…
Before she could figure it out, he carried her towards the mansion.
They left a trail of water from outside the mansion to the inside, from downstairs to upstairs, like it was proving something.
Mo Chenyan carried her to the bathroom and immediately reached out to undress her.
Still recovering from the shock, Banxia forgot to stop him. She only realized and shielded her body when she felt cold. "Mo… Mo Chenyan, my leg has recovered."
She stuttered anxiously.
He squinted at her, his eyes growing darker and naughtier. "So?"
"So I can wash myself!"
"Heh…"
He chuckled. Locking his gaze on her beautiful face, he said, "Mrs. Mo, you are burning bridges."
Banxia's eyes widened. "How am I burning bridges?"
"You discard your husband after your ankle has recovered, how is that not burning bridges?"
Banxia was stunned by his nonsensical explanation.
She walked under the shower and turned on the tap, allowing the warm water to wash her body. Even though it wasn't cold in May, the drowning feeling was still disgusting.
Not hearing any movements behind her, she frowned and turned around to have a look.
The scene before her gave her a shock. He was half-naked and was undressing his pants.
"Mo Chenyan, what are you doing?"
He ignored her stunned face and continued emotionlessly. "Undressing."
Of course she could see that he was undressing, but why was he undressing when she was showering?
He could just use another bathroom.
He continued undressing. Banxia exclaimed in shock and turned around to avoid looking at him.
He walked towards her, his deep voice booming beside her ear.
"Let's shower together."
A tinge of lust was present in his hoarse voice.
Originally, he wanted to give her more time to get used to him. However, he changed his mind—he was her husband, for life. Fulfilling his duty as a husband earlier would be better for her.
Banxia could feel her heart in her throat. Unsure if it was the hot water or something else, her face was burning.
Shower together.
Just showering together.
Banxia was flustered, her cheeks turning red as a tomato.
"Ah…"
She exclaimed again.
Banxia looked down to see his arm around her waist and another hand caressing her back. She quivered. "Mo Chenyan, you, my… my leg is fine, you don't… don't have to wash me…"
She was incoherent.
Banxia bit her lips. He didn't have to wash her even if her ankle hadn't recovered! It wasn't like her arms were disabled!
She could hear his deep chuckle at her ears. "Ye Banxia, are you really so naive to think that I only want to wash you?"
Immediately after, he pulled her towards him. Their naked bodies pressed onto each other, not leaving any gap between them. They could even feel each other's rapid heartbeats.
Banxia didn't think she was that naive either.
Even an idiot knew what was about to happen.
She knew she could not reject him. There was also no reason for her to reject him. It was normal for couples to do this. But she could still feel her body tense up.
Her legs turned weak as goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"Mo Chenyan…"
"Ye Banxia, I want you right now, mm?"
It wasn't a question. It was an order.
