Shen Wanci was awkwardly held in his arms, her wet hair dripping incessantly. After a long while, she finally stopped coughing and looked up at the culprit before her, "How did you get here?"

Her eyes were red and irritated from the hot spring water, with long, curled eyelashes still dotted with droplets, making her look extremely pitiful at this moment.

Makes one want to...

Bo Jingzhou pursed his lips, and after a long pause, two words surfaced in his mind.

bullying.

Shen Wanci's eyes hurt and her throat felt uncomfortable. She had wanted to soak in the hot spring to relax, but almost choked to death. Her stomach was full of resentment, and her voice sounded displeased: "How did you get in here?"

She remembered that she had locked the door, didn't she?

Bo Jingzhou didn't speak, only giving her a disdainful look, clearly mocking her foolishness. However, his attitude was still restrained, not showing it too obviously.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Wanci's anger grew even stronger, "How can you be so shameless, barging into someone else's private hot spring without permission."

"This hot spring is too much," she said, turning to walk towards the shore. But before she had taken two steps, the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Despicable?"

Bo Jingzhou leaned in, his cool lips pressing against hers. He covered her skin with his calloused hand, his voice hoarse: "We're husband and wife, what's so indecent about taking a hot spring together?"

Shen Wanci's face flushed red, her body stiffly leaning against him.

Being so close and wearing such thin clothes, their accidental touches made them both aware of each other's changes...

Bo Jingzhou felt the slender waist in his hand tense up, as rigid as a piece of wood. He lowered his eyes to see that the woman's beautiful face was flushed red, and coupled with the mist's haze, her skin looked soft and delicate, making him unable to help but feel restless.

His eyes were deep and fathomless, as if shrouded in darkness. He stared at her red lips, closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing. After a long moment, he managed to control the surge of desire welling up inside him.

Shen Wanci didn't provoke him at this time. After all, being able to stay calm and collected in such a situation was either a sign of being a gentleman or having some kind of physical ailment.

Obviously, Bo Jingzhou is neither of the two.

She quickly returned to the original topic, frowning and asking, “What brings you here?”

"Have a bath."

This damn cheating dog!

Shen Wanci cursed inwardly, directly exposing Bo Jingzhou's clumsy lie: "There's a private bath in your room."

The man's lips curled up into a playful smile: "I like shared ones, they're more lively."

Then go next door, there's a bunch of people, it's as lively as can be.

Shen Wanci took this opportunity to push away Bo Jingzhou, walked a few steps to the edge, picked up the bath towel from the shelf beside her and wrapped herself tightly, then supported the edge and climbed up.

She went into the changing room to change her clothes. Bo Jingzhou's gaze lingered on her until her figure was completely blocked by the door of the changing room, then he retracted his gaze and let out a 'tsk' sound with his cheek muscles bulging.

Shen Wanci changed her clothes and came out of the dressing room. She didn't greet Bo Jingzhou, and left coldly.

As she returned to her floor, she saw Chen Xu waiting at her door from afar.

"Miss Shen, Mr. Bo asked me to bring your luggage down."

"Thank you."

Shen Wanci took the luggage handle from the other person's hand, ignoring Chen Xu's hesitation, and brushed open the door and went in.

The next morning, before seven o'clock, she was woken up by a persistent knocking at the door. She wanted to ignore it, but the person outside wouldn't give up. Grumbling, she got out of bed and went to open the door with as much noise as possible.

Outside the door stood Bo Jingzhou, wearing a crisp and expensive black shirt and trousers that were ironed to perfection. He was impeccably dressed from head to toe.

Shen Wanci propped the door open, with no intention of letting anyone in. She had messy hair and a clear look of annoyance on her face: "What's up?"

Bo Jingzhou: "Let's go eat."

She blinked, wondering if she was sleepwalking and hallucinating. "I'll call room service in a bit," she said, about to close the door.

The man glanced at her, then pushed the door open and walked in. His strides were long and heavy, clearly showing his displeasure: "And Mr. Chen and the others, you have ten minutes to clean up."

Shen Wanci understood. This was to call her to perform, not a kindhearted invitation to dinner.

Although I was too tired to even want to go, thinking about that million dollar reward, I still took my clothes to the bathroom.

Ten minutes was too rushed, she only simply applied a layer of sunscreen and didn't wear makeup.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen were already there.

After a night, the bruise on Mr. Chen's nose, caused by Shen Wanci smashing him with her phone, was more obvious. It was purplish and swollen, and at first glance, all eyes were drawn to his nose.

Bo Jingzhou was taken aback, "Chen Zong, what do you mean by this?"

Mr. Chen rubbed his nose sheepishly, a sharp pain shooting through it. He quickly pulled his hand back. "I slipped in the bathroom last night and accidentally hit my head on the bathtub," he said.

When he said this, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.

If he hadn't run into Shen Wanci in the elevator last night and hadn't been emboldened by alcohol, even if he had intentions, he wouldn't have made a move on her these past few days.

But because of last night's incident, he was still a little guilty and specifically asked his assistant to check. Shen Wanci and Bo Jingzhou did indeed sleep in separate rooms and weren't even on the same floor.

This doesn't look like a normal couple at all!

There is no media reporting outside that Bo Jingzhou is married, and even rumors only emerged recently, but those who spread the rumors cannot provide any substantial evidence, so it's still uncertain whether they are husband and wife.

This result gave Director Chen more confidence, and even the look in his eyes that fell on Shen Wanci was more unrestrained than yesterday.

Bo Jingzhou glanced at him, with a somewhat ambiguous meaning, as if scrutinizing him, "That General Chen should be more careful. Look at your injuries, quite serious. Have you seen a doctor?"

Mr. Chen awkwardly smiled twice, and the impact of the airflow hit his wound, making him wince in pain: "I've seen it, it's not a big deal, just take some time to heal."

Shen Wanci watched the play while leisurely eating breakfast. After finishing, everyone made an appointment to go play golf.

The stadium wasn't too far, and I had just eaten breakfast, so strenuous exercise right away wasn't a good idea. I decided to walk over instead, just to help with digestion.

Shen Wanci didn't want to attend the social gathering. She decided to be a salted fish, absolutely disgusted by that sleazy man. Even speaking another word to him made her feel sick!

She deliberately slowed her pace, falling behind after a while and maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far, yet not conspicuous.

She gazed at the ornamental trees lining the road, her thoughts drifting aimlessly, unaware that someone was approaching nearby...
