Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Such Thick Skin

"Cough cough... cough cough..." She propped up her upper body, coughing nonstop.

"Haha..." Rong Shaoze’s loud laughter rang out from above. He embraced her from behind and teasingly said, "You don’t need to be so tense, I’m not doing anything to you. Do you know how beautiful you looked just out of the bath? A beauty after bathing—I’ve seen this for the first time today."

"You..." Lin Xinlan clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed with anger.

He leaned down to kiss her cheek and said ambiguously while nibbling at her ear, "Woman, let me tell you something. If you’re not fast enough to run, you’d better not choose to flee when you’re in front of a man who has designs on you. Otherwise, your actions will only further arouse a man’s desire... you should know, if you run, you’re sending him a message to chase."

"..." Lin Xinlan’s face flushed an even deeper shade, not from embarrassment, but from fury!

She felt that she was being toyed with by Rong Shaoze; just now, she truly had been in a sorry state.

At this moment, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into and never have to see him again.

Trying to calm her anger, she said indifferently, "Let go of me, I’m done washing, and I want to rest."

"You haven’t even started washing, how can you be done? If you’re tired, just lean on me and sleep. You sleep yours, I’ll wash mine."

"...Let go of me!" Lin Xinlan struggled fiercely, exasperated. How could she express her rage so that he’d take the hint and leave her alone?

Her disgust and rejection were so apparent. Couldn’t he see it, couldn’t he feel it?

Was he blind or deaf!

"Stop moving!" The man suddenly growled lowly, his voice harsh and deep.

Lin Xinlan stopped moving; she was so angry she didn’t even want to speak.

Weary, she leaned against his body and asked coldly, "Rong Shaoze, what on earth do you want?"

"I don’t want anything special, just to help you bathe." He said this while gently scrubbing her skin with a bath sponge.

Lin Xinlan asked speechlessly, "Can you not see my disgust and hatred for you? I detest you so much, why won’t you stay away from me? Given your personality, you should be punishing me for my unreasonable behavior towards you, then keeping your distance, showing your dissatisfaction, or ignoring me for a few days, right? But why are you being so thick-faced now? I can’t help but suspect you have multiple personalities."

Rong Shaoze’s eyes darkened for a moment before his lips curled into a tender smile.

He pinched her chin and kissed her fiercely, then said with a laugh, "Woman, I’m glad you understand me so well. In the future, we will spend more time together, and you will come to understand me even more deeply. Rest assured, I will show you different sides of me, letting only you into my inner world."

"..." She felt like vomiting, seriously!

Lin Xinlan really had no energy left to argue with him, her eyes drooping, her expression listless—she no longer spared him a glance, nor did she utter another word to him.

As she grew quiet, Rong Shaoze became cheerful, joyously continuing to bathe her.

He treated her with the care of a newborn baby, holding her, carefully washing her, not missing any part of her body.
