After Lin Xiyue had showered, she found that there was no change of clothes.
The suit had been torn and stained with the man's blood.
She wrapped herself with a bath towel, opened the door a crack, and secretly stuck her head out, looking around her for Bai Chen's figure.
Bai Chen, on the other hand, shouldn't face her in front of the large French windows. It was dark outside, making him look like a fairy in the dark.
"That... I finished my shower and didn't have any clothes on. " Her head slowly drooped down, and her cheeks slowly turned red. Her eyes moved around, and she looked like an embarrassed little girl.
Bai Chen had already turned around the moment she spoke. Seeing her like this, he thought that this girl was really interesting.
He smiled, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "I've sent for some clothes, but they're still on the way."
Slowly, Lin Xiyue walked out of the bathroom. She wasn't wearing any shoes, and her feet were small and cute.
Her entire body was wrapped in a towel, and there were still places where the water had not been wiped clean. The droplets on her hair made a beautiful curve along her neck, slowly falling into the spring light before her chest, concealing themselves.
She suddenly raised her head, her cheeks were pink with a tinge of redness, and her lightly furrowed brows were open and creased.
"Thank you for saving me today, I'm very grateful." Her small lips pursed and her whole face was like a bun.
"No need to thank me. You're a classmate of Bai Xiang's, so it's just a small matter." He was calm and collected.
She slowly raised her drooping head, as if she had made a great decision, and went over and put her white, delicate arm around him, her head against his chest. He was so tall.
Lin Xiyue wanted to hear his heartbeat, but her body was still trembling, her small mouth was tightly closed, and the hand behind her had unknowingly grabbed his shirt so tightly that it was creased.
She could clearly hear her heart beating rapidly and her face slowly turned red. This was the first time she was so active towards a man.
Lin Xiyue didn't dare to look at Bai Chen's face, afraid that he would show deep feelings of rejection or disgust.
The rabbit in her heart was jumping up and down, jumping up and down. Just as the rabbit was about to jump to its death, she heard a voice from above her head, "I don't like active women."
Then he reached out and took her arm, and she drew back, blushing still more, ashamed and reluctant to speak.
She had already thought it through. Even if she could escape for a while, not for a lifetime, even if she could escape from this disaster, Lin Yuan would still give her to someone else as a bargaining chip.
Rather than keeping himself in a state of crisis, it was better to find someone who could suppress Lin Yuan.
In her current state, the most likely target was Bai Chen.
The most powerful man in Heng City, this was the only chance she could seize.
But now that she had been rejected, she felt embarrassed about it and didn't want her even if she stuck with it.
She kept staring at her feet, frowning.
"Ding Ling …" "Ring, ring …" The sudden ringing of the doorbell broke the stalemate.
The assistant Wu Xin who just entered sensed the strange atmosphere, which was very dangerous for an outsider like him. He quickly handed the clothes to Lin Xiyue.
"You really don't want me?" Holding the clothes in her hands, she mustered up the courage to look at Bai Chen. Her eyes were as clear as water.
Bai Chen's pair of eyes that were as deep as ink were staring at her, causing her hair to stand on end.
"You're the same age as Bai Xiang, right? I'm older than you by ten years? Aren't you afraid that Bai Xiang would do this to you …? "
Before she could finish, her expression turned even more unsightly.
But in her present situation, she had no choice. What else could she do?
