Chapter 137: Is Miss Lu Satisfied with My Body? (9)
For some reason, she just felt that Mo Yuanxiu was really serious about helping her this time.
For whatever reason, she was very grateful.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled and suddenly bent over, pressing his face close to hers.
Their eyes met, and they were very close.
“Kiss me,” he whispered.
Her brows furrowed.
“This is the only way you can thank me,” he continued directly.
Lu Manman rolled her eyes.
This guy.
He was still such a womanizer.
Her gratitude vanished instantly.
“Pretend I didn’t say anything.” She turned to the side, putting some distance between them.
He shrugged and chuckled, then left.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“I’ve had a rough day, so I want to take a bath,” he said, then smiled deviously. “You can ask to bathe with me.”
Lu Manman glared at him.
“Just kidding.” Mo Yuanxiu left.
Lu Manman bit her lip. She and Mo Yuanxiu were never getting along anyway.
She took off the USB drive from Mo Yuanxiu’s computer and checked the time. It was already past midnight. Her father had called her a few times to ask when she would be returning. She had said that she was still working overtime in the company to handle her matters. But now, it was time for her to go home.
She got up and was ready to go downstairs to look for Qin Ao. But as she left the study, she remembered something and turned around to head toward Mo Yuanxiu’s bedroom. She pushed open the door and headed straight for the bathroom.
Then, she was stunned.
Mo Yuanxiu was stark naked in the bathroom as if he had just taken off his clothes and was getting ready for a shower.
His body was bare, and his skin was bronze in color. His muscles were like they had been carved by a knife, and his body was sleek and strong. And…
Her throat moved.
There was a strange look in her eyes. She was so embarrassed that she forgot to turn around.
Mo Yuanxiu did not seem like he wanted to hide it. Instead, he smiled and asked, “Miss Lu, are you satisfied with my body?”
She quickly spun around.
Her face was burning red.
From the moment she met him, she felt like her life was a mess!
“Miss Lu, have you thought it through? Do you want to take a bath with me?” His low magnetic voice sounded from behind her.
“I just remembered that the doctor told me not to let your shoulder get wet,” she said calmly as she took a deep breath. “It’s just a warm reminder. It’s up to you whether you want to heed the doctor’s advice or not. It’s getting late. I’ll get Qin Ao to go home with me.”
With that, she ran off.
Mo Yuanxiu smirked as he watched her leave.
He turned to look at himself in the mirror and then at the white bandage around his shoulder. He thought for a while and really did not shower and wet his shoulder. He picked up a wet towel and wiped his body clean. The more he wiped, the more amused he felt. For a seemingly long time, he had forgotten how it felt to be obedient!
After wiping himself clean, he put on his pajamas and lay on the bed.
Lu Manman and Qin Ao had left.
This small villa had always been quiet.
It was very quiet.
He picked up his cell phone and made a call.
The call went through after a while, but the person still sounded sleepy. “Ah Xiu.”
“Ye Heng, I’m back in Wen City.”
“What? Didn’t you say at least a week?”
“I came back once I was done with my stuff,” he said. “I just wanted to let you know. You can continue sleeping.”
“Ah Xiu.” He was about to hang up when Ye Heng stopped him. “You’re here for Lu Manman?”
“Don’t be such a busybody.”
With that, he hung up.
Mo Yuanxiu threw his cell phone aside, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
His body was already tired, but he refused to close his eyes. He stared at the dark ceiling above him.
It was the same every night. It’s as if he was already used to it.
…
Lu Manman was sitting in Qin Ao’s car.
When she went to call Qin Ao, he was already asleep. Upon hearing her voice, he got out of bed without hesitation and drove her back to the Lu family’s villa.
In the quiet car.
It was already past midnight, and the bustling Wen City was quiet.
She looked at the city streets which were still brightly lit. Images of Mo Yuanxiu’s naked body replayed in her head…
Figure. Muscle. That thing’s shape.
She felt as if something was lodged in her throat.
It was not that she had never seen a man’s body before. She had seen Wen Yun’s before as well. Wen Yun’s figure was not bad, but he lacked muscle!
Wen Yun was slimmer.
Of course, Mo Yuanxiu was not fat either. He was the type of man who appeared slim in his clothes but was muscular.
She took a deep breath.
She had no idea why she was comparing them!
Her face was burning!
However…
She narrowed her eyes.
The scar on Mo Yuanxiu had surprised her.
Although it was just a glance, she had still seen it clearly.
But why were there so many scars?
What had Mo Yuanxiu gone through to have such injuries?
Who was this man exactly?
