Chapter 6, Ye Huang, foolish Huang! Hahaha!

"Scared now?" Ye Huang scoffed, "Where was your fear when you were cursing me?"

"You cursed me first!" Bai Xiao retorted defiantly.

A playful smile lurked on the corner of Ye Huang's mouth, "So what if I did?"

Bai Xiao felt a flutter in her chest, no longer having the strength to argue back.

His nose was about to bump against hers, his breath was invasive, familiar yet strange.

Bai Xiao's heart tightened, she leaned back as much as she could, leaning back so far it felt like her back would break! Finally, she conceded, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have cursed you."

Her voice was soft and light, but carried an undertone of reluctance, imperceptible to others, but all too familiar to Ye Huang.

Ye Huang watched her, she hadn't had time to change clothes, under her long dress there was nothing. She leaned back so intensely that the contours of her bust were prominently outlined.

They seemed so full, they must feel amazing...

"Young Master Ye Huang, I really was wrong. Please be gracious and step back," Bai Xiao implored with a hint of appeasement in her tone.

After so many years, she was still good at playing it by ear. When she couldn't win an argument, she'd fight, and if she couldn't win a fight, she'd run, slippery as an eel.

Ye Huang stepped back, and Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, straightening up.

Damn it, her back and waist ached! The aftermath she didn't suffer last night had come back to haunt her now!

Ye Huang's gaze flickered, a faint smile formed on his lips, but just for a few seconds before it disappeared. Bai Xiao, busy with her aching back, didn't see it.

"I need to shower, you can choose to stay or go."

As Ye Huang finished speaking, he walked into the shower and turned on the faucet, beginning to take off his pants.

"I'm leaving!"

Bai Xiao sprang up and dashed out of the bathroom in a second. No more soreness in her waist, no more pain in her back.

Ye Huang stood under the shower head, savoring the sting of the cold water, his icy facial expression slowly cracking in the water and eventually morphing into a gentle, alluring smile.

...

When Bai Xiao left the airport last night, she had her luggage with her. But now, she had searched all over Ye Huang's room and couldn't find it.

Had she lost her suitcase?

Could she have been robbed or attacked last night?

How could she remember nothing; had she developed amnesia?

Bai Xiao held her forehead, looking at herself.

Great, she had nothing to change into.

The dress she was wearing...

Bai Xiao tugged at it. As a fashion designer, she knew the dress was expensive and quite presentable. The problem was, she had no underwear to wear!

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiao grabbed Ye Huang's phone from the nightstand, turned on the flashlight, and started searching under the bed.

One way or another, she couldn't have arrived at the Ye Family's house last night with nothing on! Her clothes had to have been hidden by that bastard, Ye Huang.

Ye Huang, foolish Huang! Hahaha!

This new nickname sounded good and suited Ye Huang perfectly, Bai Xiao felt like applauding her own ingenuity.

Ye Huang came out of the bathroom with a bathrobe tied around his waist, drying his hair with a towel in his hand.

Suddenly, something caught his eye.

Bai Xiao was on the floor, with her butt in the air, searching for something under the bed. The position was funny, yet somehow tantalizing.

He'd been holding back his thirst and had spent a whole night just "putting on the covers, purely sleeping" with her. Since 5 A.M., she had been teasing him, and Ye Huang was struggling to maintain his composure!

He tossed the towel aside and walked towards her...
