Chapter 1233: Chapter 1374: Soaking Too Long in the Bath Left Me Exhausted

At this moment, although Chu Mucheng’s tone wasn’t heavy and his voice wasn’t loud, it sounded like a heavy hammer in Tao Zhixiang’s ears.

Does he have something to say to her?

What could it be?

"Go ahead, I’m listening. I can hear you just fine standing here!"

Tao Zhixiang started to feel a bit nervous.

She just felt that whatever Chu Mucheng wanted to say to her wasn’t going to be good.

Besides, what was there left to say between them now?

Their relationship had already come to an end.

Tao Zhixiang’s stubbornness fell into Chu Mucheng’s eyes, and the blush on her face didn’t escape his notice either.

Chu Xici wasn’t the kind of person to give up easily.

"Are you embarrassed, huh?"

Amid the light mist, Chu Mucheng looked at her so casually, even the smile at the corner of his lips seemed to be shrouded in a hazy veil.

His words struck a chord with Tao Zhixiang, leaving her speechless.

How could she not be embarrassed?

He wasn’t wearing any clothes, just soaking in the water naked like that, how could she have the nerve to look at him, to get close to him?

So, standing here was already enough.

"It’s not like I’m deaf. If you have something to say, just say it, instead of straying into other topics!"

Otherwise, wouldn’t he digress again?

"Come over, get a little closer. I soaked too long and I’m feeling weak, so I haven’t got the strength to speak!"

Chu Mucheng’s voice suddenly became much softer.

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

Could this man really be so shameless?

Soaked too long and got weak?

Can’t muster the strength to speak?

Nonsense!

Just let him pretend!

"I’ll go get you a bathrobe!"

In the end, she had prepared a bathrobe for Chu Mucheng, even though she couldn’t be sure when he might come here. Yet... she still considerately bought him one.

In black.

Tao Zhixiang immediately fell for it because as soon as she saw that bathrobe, she suddenly thought of Chu Mucheng. The temperament of that bathrobe matched him very well.

"Don’t bother with the bathrobe! Just take a couple of steps over and come a bit closer!"

Chu Mucheng continued, and after saying this, he slightly raised an eyebrow: "If you don’t move a bit closer, then I’ll just soak here all night!"

Tao Zhixiang felt her blood boiling.

When did this man become so childish and learn to threaten her?

"I promise, I’ll go through with it. Of course, you can also choose to leave now and ignore me!"

Chu Mucheng continued speaking.

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

Why did she feel that this man was so shameless?

"Of course, if you think your conscience won’t feel guilty, feel free to leave me here!"

Chu Mucheng’s words made Tao Zhixiang’s temples throb.

This man... so malicious!

Leave him here?

He actually used words like that to describe it!

But, soaking in the water for too long is bad for the health. It could even make the skin wrinkle.

With reluctance, Tao Zhixiang walked two steps towards Chu Mucheng, finally reaching his side.

"Now will you tell me what you wanted to say?"

At this moment, he was lying in the water as a naked man, while she was still wearing pajamas, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, looking straight ahead, avoiding Chu Mucheng’s gaze.

Yet the wild rhythm within her heart simply couldn’t calm down.

Chu Mucheng’s thin lips curled up gently, and suddenly he raised his hand, clasping her wrist. His hand was wet with water droplets, dripping onto her hand, each drop feeling scalding hot.

His hand gently rubbed along her arm, seemingly an unconscious action, while his gaze was deep, eyes burning brightly.

"Actually, it’s nothing much, just that... bathing alone is too lonely. I want you to keep me company!"

With that, Chu Mucheng’s arm exerted strength, giving Tao Zhixiang a start. Before she could move away, she was pulled into the bathtub by him.
