Chapter 585 - She was regretting now.

Li Xue was back to Little Carnations soon. "Sister Margaret, did Shufen already return home?" She asked the moment she got her step into the house.

Sister Margaret shook her head, "No Madam, Sir has not returned yet. If you want, I can give a call to Secretary Gao and check the things". The old lady said with utmost politeness.

But Li Xue waved her hand in denial. "No, no, Sister Margaret. I was just asking to see how much time I have got to prepare a good dinner for them. It seems I still have time to prepare the things. What about WeiWei? Is she still taking her afternoon nap?"

"No, Madam! Little princess has already woken up from her nap and right now she is doing her homework in her room. Earlier she has said that she doesn't want to trouble Sir and Madam with her studies, so she wants to complete everything by herself" The old lady informed. She was really pleased to see the little one so sensible and thoughtful to her parents. Only if every child could be like her …

Li Xue nodded before gazing up in the direction of her daughter's room. "Mm … as always she has got us in her right thoughts. Okay, Sister Margaret, let's also not bother her. I will go change first and then come down to prepare the dinner for them. She said, before quickly getting up the stairs to make things quick.

Sister Margaret did not make any attempt to pause the lady, knowing the outcome of all her requests would just be the same. The lady would just not listen to her, so instead of making any failed efforts, the old woman moved to the kitchen to help her prepare the ingredients ready for use.

Upstairs, Li Xue went to keep her bag carefully on the side before moving into the bathroom to take a shower. Since the man was yet to come back home, she didn't bother latching the door of the room but perfectly locked the bathroom behind her.

Turning around, she walked to the sink to wash herself first. For some reason, she felt the air inside the bathroom a little warmer than normal. It felt unusual but she was too tired to think about it. The day has already been tough for her. Though earlier in front of Han Guoli, she has come all calm and perfectly arrogant, only she has known how tough it was for her to come out that way.

Though at that time she has feigned all her nonchalance and disinterest towards his evidence and confession, only she has known her reality of desperation for that confession and evidence. Without it would she even have any chance to prove herself rightful and innocent in the scandal from 5 years back? She shook her head before looking at herself in the mirror and then mumbled, "Nope, without it my comeback would have failed on the very first step, leaving me with no future at all".

Her hands softly moved over the tap, turning on the water and then dipping her head a little down to splash some water over her face, to calm herself. One after the other, she kept on splashing the water frantically. It was not easy to see the man who ruined her, again after so many years. All the flashes of the memories were back in front of her eyes, yet she has to pretend to be all strong and confident. It was tough to show yourself strong when you were clearly losing everything inside.

She was busy calming herself with the splashes of cold water when suddenly she felt something come snaking around her waist. Her movements paused and her breath got hitched when she realized she was not alone in the bathroom but the man has always been inside, in her oblivion.

Her eyes snapped open to look first into the mirror to confirm the thing but that only made her regret her audacity. Her flaming eyes met with his cold ones as it slowly and slowly travelled to look at his n.a.k.e.d firm muscled c.h.e.s.t and then to his well-ridged abdomen. The towel seemed dangerously hung low on his waist, but that danger looked so tempestuous that she no longer felt the interest in removing her gaze from him.

Seeing him like this in the mirror almost made her forget all her thoughts from before. She kept on looking at him. She never knew his body was this great until now. Now, she was regretting why she has not noticed him like this before. Or maybe she did notice his features before too but it has just been so long that she has forgotten how s.e.xy he looked at that time. 

"You were already at home. I thought you were not home yet", she mumbled as her eyes slowly and slowly got up to focus back onto his face, particularly his cold yet blazing eyes and then his thin but most beautiful pair of lips. Definitely, he was a sin to her eyes, yet she would never hesitate in committing him.

Amidst all her thoughts, she almost forgot to notice something important. She was yet in her badass costume from before and they were locked inside the bathroom with the man half-n.a.k.e.d and her being half wet.

"I was inside the bathroom taking a shower" Feng Shufen replied calmly. His eyes scanning her from top to bottom, the same way she was doing with him. But something was different in his way. His eyes looked a little more darker as if suppressing something inside his depths while at the same time searching for something on her.

Li Xue nodded, "Oh! Okay then … y - you enjoy your shower, I will take my leave," she said while unwrapping his arms from her waist.

But the moment she thought that she had unclasped his grip from around herself, the man pulled her more into himself, proving her ideas to be wrong?

"Wait!" He said, making the woman's heart thump in her c.h.e.s.t.
