Chapter 3 She Followed Si Mo_1

As soon as Xia Yiwan started soaking in the cold water, she felt chilled to the bone.

But now, she felt a wave of heat rising from her feet. The effect of the drug that was earlier suppressed by the ice-cold water was now acting more violently than before.

Xia Yiwan put her hands on the man's chest to push him away, but failed as she was weak.

Despite her mind trying hard to restrain, her body seemed to be more honest.

"Sir..." someone started talking next to them.

"Get lost!"

Si Mo slightly turned his head and coldly spit out the words.

Even though the man's voice was soft, it carried an incomparable gravity and dangerous aura.

The interrupter startled and backed down, having the courage neither to approach nor to stay.

The man's withdrawing thin lips made Xia Yiwan feel an empty void in her heart. She couldn't help herself and raised her toes to kiss him.

Si Mo sighed lightly, gazing down at her flushed face, then scooped her up and headed towards a villa in the distance.

After the rain had cleared,

The bright and warm sunshine, streaming in through the lightly veiled patio doors, shone onto the bed, casting dazzling shadows.

After a long while, the ash-colored quilt moved, revealing a head of jet-black hair.

Shortly after, Xia Yiwan's petite face appeared. A faint sound of water flowing was heard – "swoosh" in the distance.

Was it raining outside?

Xia Yiwan opened her eyes in confusion. As her slightly blurred eyes focused on the bright window beside her, she gasped in shock.

The modern minimalist style decoration, luxurious chandelier, the abstract paintings...

This wasn't her room!

Xia Yiwan sat up hastily.

The quilt slipped off, leaving her suddenly cold. Looking down, her mind buzzed in shock.

"Cousin, have a glass of juice," the woman gleefully offered.

Then came the man's lewd grin, the fat-faced, big-eared man sneered, "Sweetie, be a good girl. As long as you make me happy, I guarantee you and your sister will be famous overnight."

The freezing pool water, the annoying Si Mo, and fragments of conversation flashed in her memory.

Xia Yiwan's face went pale.

Everything that had happened last night was beyond her imagination...

The sound of running water in the bathroom suddenly stopped.

Startled, Xia Yiwan quickly got out of bed, picking up her clothes from the floor while fighting discomfort.

She hadn't finished dressing when she rushed to the door.

Just as her hand was on the doorknob, a sound echoed from behind.

The bathroom door opened, wafting out a fresh woody fragrance.

"After using me, you want to leave?" A chilly, calm voice sounded from behind.

Xia Yiwan froze, and after hesitating for awhile, she slowly turned around.

The man stood not far from her, donned in black shirt and black trousers. Though the color was dark and low-key, it gave him an incomparable noble aura.

Especially as he stood in the sunlight, his body outlined in a golden glow, resplendent as a divine dwelling, making it hard for anyone to look directly at him.

Xia Yiwan lowered her gaze, took a deep breath and said, "I didn't use you. It was just a mutual benefit."

"What do you mean by 'mutual benefit'? Miss Xia, perhaps you might want to elaborate."

The man's eyes were dark and his tone was bland, making it difficult to distinguish what kind of emotion he was feeling.
