Seeing such a tempting Ni Yongruo, Li Chuan felt like he could barely breathe.
Especially those smooth, delicate legs beneath the white bathrobe, they were like works of art.
Feeling Li Chuan's intense gaze, Ni Yongruo's heart couldn't help but race. She lowered her head, brushed her messy hair, and softly said, "Do you... want to go in and wash up too...?"
"Wash! Of course, I'll wash! A good wash! It's great to wash completely clean!" Li Chuan chuckled and then walked into the bathroom.
Five or six minutes later, Li Chuan came out of the bathroom bare-chested, showing his perfect pecs and abs, with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Seeing Li Chuan's perfect muscle lines, Ni Yongruo finally understood why her aunt was so fascinated by him.
Which woman wouldn't be mesmerized after seeing him?
That kind of physique is simply the creme de la creme in the eyes of women!
Her heart was also pounding fast.
"Do you like it? Want to come up and touch it?" Li Chuan noticed Ni Yongruo's gaze and couldn't help but laugh. "If you like it, you can not only touch it, but also taste it."
Ni Yongruo rolled her eyes. "You're so sleazy! I never thought my aunt would like your type!"
"Why is this sleazy?" Li Chuan naturally lay beside Ni Yongruo, a faint ambiguous smile on his lips, his gaze fearlessly falling on her fair and full chest. "Actually, if you don't like to use your mouth, you can let me lick you instead!"
"Get lost, get lost!" Ni Yongruo extended her art-like jade foot, aiming a kick at Li Chuan's backside, but he caught it effortlessly.
Ni Yongruo's heart skipped a beat. "You... let go of me immediately!"
"Don't move." Li Chuan gently massaged the tender sole of her foot. "I can tell you've been anxious these past few days, causing liver fire to rise. Let me massage you to relax your meridians and reduce the liver fire."
Ni Yongruo: "Massage if you want, but why is there drool at the corner of your mouth? Are you a foot fetishist?"
Li Chuan picked up Ni Yongruo's other jade foot, inhaling the light fragrance unique to virgins, and then took a deep breath. "What I'm infatuated with is not feet, but the blossoming lotus under the moon."
Ni Yongruo's heart was in turmoil. She didn't expect Li Chuan to start waxing poetic.
"What, could it be that you've fallen for me?" Ni Yongruo teased.
Li Chuan: "Are you willing to be with me?"
Ni Yongruo was momentarily speechless. Her smile gradually faded, she turned to look out the window, and sighed: "Li Chuan, I have to admit, I admire you, you're impressive, but I can only say, it's impossible between us."
Li Chuan remained unconcerned: "Impossible? How would you know it's impossible if you haven't tried?"
Ni Yongruo said nothing more.
As every second and minute passed, the sky gradually darkened. Only when Li Chuan stopped his actions did she turn around and casually turn off the light in the room.
"It's so dark now, let's sleep."
Li Chuan slid under Ni Yongruo's covers. "Yes, it's time to sleep."
Ni Yongruo took a deep breath. "Don't you want something to happen between us?"
Li Chuan feigned ignorance. "What do you mean happen?"
"Stop pretending! Keep pretending!" Ni Yongruo teased.
Li Chuan sighed helplessly. "That bottle of red wine from earlier is hitting me now, my head is all foggy, I really don't know what you're talking about?"
Ni Yongruo blushed, her face shy. "I mean... doing what you did with my aunt... Tonight... I could be yours..."
Truth be told, Ni Yongruo's personality is relatively conservative.
All along, Ni Yongruo hoped to give her body to her husband on their wedding night.
But today, she wanted to indulge for once!
She wanted to learn from her aunt.
Li Chuan felt no emotional stir. "Do you really mean that?"
Ni Yongruo felt as if she'd been humiliated, she pulled off the quilt and sat up. "What else would it be! I just showered, now I'm in bed with you, do you think I'm just teasing you?"
Li Chuan remained calm. "Is that truly what you want?"
Ni Yongruo stiffened her face: "Li Chuan! What do you want to say! Just say it! No need to beat around the bush."
Even though she spoke confidently, her eyes carried a hint of guilt.
"Click!"
Li Chuan turned on a small light and then sat up against the headboard. "Miss Ni, what you're saying is not your true feelings."
"I can assure you, if I genuinely took you tonight, by tomorrow morning when I wake up, you'll probably have left, right?"
"Heading down the road to the underworld, isn't that so?"
Ni Yongruo was stunned, her eyes moistening. "As expected! You rascal! I really can't hide anything from you."
In fact, when she came to Su Bei, she never thought she would be sold by her uncle!
The thought of having to marry a fool made her want to die.
She never imagined she would be stabbed in the back by her own family.
So, she thought of Li Chuan, and in desperation, drove to Wulin County.
Moreover, her aunt secretly sent her a message, telling her to find Li Chuan when things became absolutely dire!
She had no idea what Li Chuan could do for her.
Finally, she thought about asking Li Chuan to help her become a real woman.
After this night, she wanted to leave this world.
This world, which had disappointed her so much.
Li Chuan tenderly wiped the tears from the corner of Ni Yongruo's eyes, then said, "Honestly, I really like you and want to have you."
"In Jiangzhou City, I already wanted to be with you!"
"I admit I'm a scoundrel, but I'm a scoundrel with principles."
"I don't like to, nor will I force anyone to do what they don't want to do."
"Miss Ni, if you're willing to trust me."
"I can assure you, I'll help you get rid of this trouble."
Ni Yongruo smiled wryly. "I know you've changed now, but this matter isn't as simple as you think. So, don't get involved."
Ni Yongruo knew Li Chuan was capable, but she didn't know his true potential.
Li Chuan chuckled. "It seems Miss Ni still doesn't want to trust me."
Seeing Li Chuan's confident smile, Ni Yongruo suddenly felt extremely relaxed. She didn't know why, but she nodded. "Alright, I trust you!"
Li Chuan reached out, playfully ruffling Ni Yongruo's hair. "So, you can just peacefully be the Ni Family's eldest lady, and don't worry about anything else."
With that, Li Chuan turned off the light. "Sleep."
Ni Yongruo leaned close to Li Chuan's ear, softly whispering, "What, you're really just going to sleep like that?"
