Just as Lu Lichen finished speaking, the bathroom door opened from the inside.

Ye Xiaoxia wore conservative pajamas. Her long hair was tied behind her head and there seemed to be water droplets on her body. Her small face was flushed red and her skin was so white that it seemed to be able to pinch water.

She was looking at him now with a slightly alarmed look in her eyes.

"You …" Just as Ye Xiaoxia wanted to speak, she saw Lu Lichen holding his phone and making a call, she quickly covered his mouth.

While Ye Xiaoxia was taking a bath inside, she occasionally heard people talking outside. Anxious, she turned off the water and wiped the water on her body a few times before putting on her pajamas.

When she saw Lu Lichen, she suddenly rejoiced over his decision to wear a set of conservative pajamas.

"What's wrong? Is there anyone on your side? "

Just as Lu Xiuyan was about to tell Lu Lichen his name, he suddenly heard a woman's faint voice coming from the other side.

Lu Xiuyan knew that this uncle of his was not a womanizer. He was almost thirty years old and still hadn't gotten married yet and didn't have a girlfriend.

However, from the voice just now, he could tell that it was definitely a woman.

"Yes." Lu Lichen's gaze was still fixated on Ye Xiaoxia's body, and he said in a deep and fiery voice, "It's your aunt."

He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but when he said the word 'aunt', his voice became slightly deeper, causing others to be unable to figure it out.

Ye Xiaoxia's face immediately turned red when she heard the address. It wasn't because she was shy, but it was her first time being introduced like this.

When Lu Xiuyan heard this, he was stunned at first, but then laughed out loud: "Looks like Little Uncle you're enlightened. Who is this aunt, do I know you? Did you bring it home for your grandparents to see? "

"You don't know her, so you haven't brought her back yet." "Yes," he replied.

After hearing his answer, Ye Xiaoxia's entire body became so stiff that he did not know if he should go back to bed or just stand there and wait for Lu Lichen to finish listening to the call.

"Then when I return, you must let me see aunt." Although Lu Xiuyan was not too happy with his own matters, he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his uncle had finally gotten a girlfriend.

"Alright."

"Then I'm hanging up. Go back and busy yourself." As he finished speaking, his smile became somewhat ambiguous.

Lu Lichen did not comment, and just hung up after answering. Looking up, he saw that the little woman was still standing in front of the bathroom door, both hands moving the clothes in front of her as if she didn't know what to do.

Somehow, when he saw her like this, the anger he had accumulated in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late? Are you going to stand there and be a door god all night?" He said lightly.

Ye Xiaoxia bit her lower lip: "I will go to another room to sleep."

When Lu Lichen returned here, she knew that this was his room. She could not ask him to sleep elsewhere, so he had to speak first.

However, after hearing these words, Lu Lichen's expression suddenly darkened. "You either stand here all night or come over to sleep.

She actually dared to despise him?

Why didn't I see her so resistant last night when I took the initiative to deliver it?

An extremely faint bitterness swept across Ye Xiaoxia's face. Ever since she married him in the Civil Affairs Bureau, she should have accepted this kind of matter, right?

In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the huge bed. Lying on it, he didn't move at all.

Although she was still stubborn, she still gave in. How much of it was that she was not willing to be ignored by him. In any case, she would obediently listen to him.

Lu Lichen stood up from the sofa with satisfaction, walked to the wardrobe, took his pajamas and entered the bathroom.

About twenty minutes later, the bathroom door opened and the sound of deep footsteps slowly approached the bed.

Ye Xiaoxia's tightly shut eyes trembled slightly, and her body gradually stiffened as well.

Ye Xiaoxia was very afraid of what Lu Lichen would do to him, or even … If Lu Lichen truly requested for her help, she discovered that he actually had no way of resisting.

In terms of strength and responsibility, she couldn't refuse.

Ye Xiaoxia's entire body tensed up, she felt the surrounding space caving in gently, following that, a strange Qi enveloped her petite body, and there was even a heavy arm gently resting on her waist, gently pulling her into her embrace.

The man's actions were extremely natural, but Ye Xiaoxia was so nervous that her entire body was trembling.

"Don't be afraid …"

His warm breath came out from behind Ye Xiaoxia's ears, and his magnetic voice seemed to give her comfort.

Just when Ye Xiaoxia thought that he would take another step forward, he suddenly hugged Ye Xiaoxia and fell asleep.

Ye Xiaoxia didn't even dare to move a muscle in his embrace, afraid that her actions would arouse the desire of men.

Ye Xiaoxia also fell into a deep sleep during the latter half of the night. She had finally confirmed that Lu Lichen would not do anything to his tonight.

However, after Ye Xiaoxia's even breathing was heard, the man behind her opened his shiny black eyes.

A warm, fragrant and soft jade was in his bosom. As a normal man, if he could fall asleep like this, it would mean that he wasn't a man.

It was not that he did not care whether she agreed or not, but what he was more afraid of was the look in Ye Xiaoxia's eyes after that.

When he hugged her today, he could already feel that she was extremely against his approach. However, this was a very normal thing for her.

After all, she had just experienced a family incident, and after what happened last night, it was only natural that she would have some conflict with men.

Ye Xiaoxia applied for a leave of absence from the company, so she would not go to the Global Times until she settled her father's matters.

She had thought it would take some time to retrieve her father's body, but unexpectedly, Lawyer Wang had called her the next day to inform her that she could go to the funeral parlor.

Ye Xiaoxia was startled for a moment before she hung up the phone and rushed to the funeral home.

The matter seemed to have gone extremely smoothly. She had heard from Lawyer Wang that because of her father's special status, this matter would definitely drag on for a long time. She never would have thought that he would be able to bury her father safely after the night.

When Ye Xiaoxia rushed to the funeral home to see Lawyer Wang, she raised her questions.

"Didn't you say that you need time? "Why are you so fast?"

"I heard that a big shot above has spoken." Lawyer Wang did not know the specifics of the matter, but that was all he heard. However, it was a good thing to be able to bring Ye Ming Sheng back so early, wasn't it?

Ye Xiaoxia was astonished. A big shot?

The Ye Family was already at this time, why would there still be someone that would be willing to help them?

But just when Ye Xiaoxia was unable to think through it, a man's face suddenly flashed across her mind, causing her heart to jump, it can't be …

Could it be Lu Lichen?

The name of Young Master Lu was even better than the mayor in A City, but now that Ye Ming Sheng had collapsed, there were countless people who wanted to step on his back, so they didn't want to think about help anymore.

Then, the only person who could withstand the pressure from the officials below the mayor and the other rich families was Lu Lichen.

Yesterday, before receiving the certificate, Lu Lichen had said that he would help her. She didn't think that what Lu Lichen had said was actually true.
