Chapter 8: Someone’s Showering?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Welcome home, Chairman Li.”

“Welcome home, Chairman Li.”

As the car entered the estate, the household staff were wide-eyed. They could not believe their eyes—Li Shengxiao was carrying a woman upstairs.

Once the pair disappeared, the discussion started.

“I think I saw a woman in Chairman Li’s arms. Or did my eyes fail me?”

“I saw it too. It was definitely a woman.”

“Chairman Li personally brought a lady back? Who is she? What’s her background?”

“I don’t know. Her face was shielded so I didn’t have a clear look.”

 The discussion by the staff discussion did not affect those upstairs.

In Li Shengxiao’s bedroom, the woman on the bed slowly came to.

Heavy with sleep, Rong Yan’s brain took some time to process what had happened. The memories slowly returned to her.

She had run into Shi Mufeng and Rong Weiwei at the entrance of KZ Entertainment and there was an ensuing spat that led to Shi Mufeng running after her. Then, Rong Weiwei had pushed her onto the road as a car turned the corner.

She was involved in an accident.

This…

Rong Yan rose from her position on the bed and surveyed her surroundings. There was the sound of water splashing coming from the bathroom.

Someone was showering?

Rong Yan pulled aside the bed covers and checked her clothes. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found her outfit unchanged.

Fortunately, she was not taken away by Rong Weiwei.

Otherwise, she might have ended up in a prostitution ring after a mysterious disappearance during the car accident.

If not Rong Weiwei, then who brought her here? Why was her lips throbbing? Did she fall on her face?

Rong Yan touched a finger to her swollen lips. She tidied her clothes and got out of bed. She waited at a spot she deemed safe—near to the door—and waited for the person to exit the bathroom.

Finally, a man walked out in a bathrobe. His identity was revealed by the bright lights of the room.

The man emerged from the darkness with a silver-gray towel draped over his shoulder. He had a broad chest, slim waist and long, muscular legs. His figure was better than a runway model’s.

Fresh out the showers, water droplets rolled down his neck and Adam’s apple, traveling lower into…

The man oozed class.

He was blessed by the gods, his appearance stole the gaze of everyone in the room.

Rong Yan was struck by lightning when she saw his face. She shrieked, “Li Shengxiao?”

F*ck!

Why was Li Shengxiao here? Was she hit by Li Shengxiao or did he find out about her plans and was here for revenge? Rong Yan’s emotions were like a roller coaster—her heart thumped wildly in her chest.

A range of expressions crossed Rong Yan’s face and the impassive man could not help but cock an eye. He stared at the woman and asked, “We know each other?”

Rong Yan was unclear about the situation so she gave the safest answer. “The chairman of the Li Corporation. I may not have a lot of general knowledge but I’ve watched the news. I saw you on the television.”

Li Shengxiao thought they had crossed paths but her answer made sense.

He was not sure if he could trust her. He gave her a towel and said, “Shower.”

Rong Yan stiffly took the towel and did not move.

The tall man passed her. He took a seat on the couch, a safe distance away from her. “Relax, I won’t do anything. Once you’re done with the shower, the staff will apply some medication. Your arm is injured.”

With the pressure lifted, Rong Yan’s muscles relaxed. At the staff’s directions, she escaped the bedroom.
