Chapter 1231: Chapter 1372: All Exuding a Lazy Elegance

The more she wanted to sleep, the more she couldn’t fall asleep.

After all, with Chu Mucheng taking a shower in the bathroom, how could she possibly calm down and go to sleep?

But time passed by, twenty minutes, half an hour, an hour...

Uh, why hasn’t he come out yet?

It’s just a shower, does it really take that long?

What’s going on?

Tao Zhixiang was a little worried, glancing at the time now and then, feeling somewhat restless.

In the end, Tao Zhixiang came to the bathroom door, wanting to knock but hesitating.

The thought of Chu Mucheng being inside, still naked, ultimately made her too embarrassed!

She stood by the door and listened, but found the bathroom inside was silent, not even the sound of running water.

Tao Zhixiang frowned, puzzled, what on earth was he doing?

Why no sound?

What was he up to?

Tao Zhixiang was getting uneasy, knocking on the bathroom door.

"Chu Mucheng!"

No one responded from inside, and Tao Zhixiang frowned slightly.

"Chu Mucheng?"

Tao Zhixiang raised her voice a little, standing by the door waiting for a while.

Still no sound.

This time, Tao Zhixiang was getting anxious.

Goodness, could he have fainted in the shower?

An unexpected thought flashed through Tao Zhixiang’s mind, and the next second, her hand was already on the bathroom doorknob, instinctively opening the bathroom door.

The scene that greeted her made Tao Zhixiang feel a flash in front of her eyes, a momentary dizziness.

What did she see?

In the elegant white porcelain bathtub, Chu Mucheng sat there comfortably, his arm leisurely resting on the edge, his head slightly tilted back, leaning against the bathtub’s rim.

And the water in the bathtub flowed over his chest, gently rippling, the entire bathtub exuding a lazy elegance.

Although this apartment was a second-hand purchase back then, the refined remodeling wasn’t timely, yet all the wallpaper on the walls had been changed, and all the furniture was renewed. Even the bathtub in the bathroom was personally selected by Chu Mucheng.

Soaking in this exquisite bathtub was definitely an enjoyment.

Chu Mucheng had actually heard Tao Zhixiang calling all along, but he hadn’t responded.

In fact, this was his way of probing, because he wanted to know if he stayed inside for a long time, would that woman... worry about him, would she get anxious?

So, he was waiting too!

Tonight, he had waited for her so long, with bottled-up anger and grievances, but under her few words, all his anger vanished.

Thinking of that moment, even Chu Mucheng found it unbelievable.

He fully believed what she said.

She hadn’t defended herself much, but he knew she was telling the truth!

It’s really strange that he trusted her so much.

That kind of feeling... left him unable to explain or understand.

Actually, at that time, he was really saying things out of anger, because while he was speaking those words, there was clearly a voice in his heart telling him she wasn’t like that!

But in the heat of the moment, he still said hurtful things!

After saying them, he did regret a bit, but he couldn’t take them back.

When he heard her say that person was just her colleague, he was quite happy.

Only, when she said she wouldn’t give him a green hat sort of thing, he felt really stifled!

A green hat?

The thought of her with another man made his chest feel unbearably suffocated.

He wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!

Hearing the door open, Chu Mucheng slowly opened his eyes, seeing Tao Zhixiang’s stunned expression, unable to help but smile.

"Come here!"
