In the evening, Lin Hai walked to the villa's front gate when his phone rang. It was a call from Queen Qi.

"Queen Qi, what's up? Calling so late in the evening." Lin Hai pretended he was taking a stroll, his voice calm.

"Who were you calling just now?" Queen Qi asked, clearly his line was busy earlier while talking to Judge.

"Just an old comrade, what's up? Anything important? I've been missing you lately." Lin Hai chuckled as he spoke.

Queen Qi's guarded heart relaxed, as long as Lin Hai wasn't talking to another girl, it was fine.

For some reason, she found herself unable to control her feelings, becoming excessively attentive to everything about Lin Hai.

If Lin Hai was happy, she felt happy; if Lin Hai was unhappy, she always found herself involuntarily wanting to cheer him up, even carefully organizing her words before speaking.

"Is this what it feels like to love someone?" Queen Qi thought, a sweet smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

"Queen Qi, Queen Qi, why aren't you talking?" Lin Hai's voice from the phone interrupted Queen Qi's daydream.

Queen Qi quickly organized her thoughts and replied, "Are you okay?"

"You're acting strange today." Lin Hai asked back.

"I, it's nothing, I'm hospitalized. Suddenly thought of you and wanted to chat." Queen Qi said somewhat awkwardly.

Next to her on the hospital bed, Liu Piaopiao, with a deadpan expression, murmured, "What's so good about that Beast Lin, he's not even as good as our King Yan."

Speaking of King Yan, Liu Piaopiao's beautiful eyes sparkled with tiny stars, daydreaming about King Yan's domineering strike and his overwhelming and powerful figure clad in a black trench coat… so mesmerizing…

Queen Qi glanced at Liu Piaopiao disdainfully.

Her beautiful best friend Piaopiao, lips slightly parted letting saliva almost dribble out, where had all the decorum of a woman gone?

"Ah? You're hospitalized? What happened?"

Hearing the urgency and concern in Lin Hai's voice, Queen Qi's heart warmed, feeling cherished.

"It's nothing, just a minor accident while handling a case."

"Damn, who hurt you? Tell me, I'll make them kneel within minutes." Lin Hai's voice was rough and domineering.

Queen Qi's cheeks flushed with happiness; his words, though unrefined, nearly melted her heart.

"It's okay, the opponent was strong, but it's already settled." Queen Qi hurriedly said, worried that her beloved Lin might get too angry and hurt himself.

"Strong? Queen Qi, no matter how tough they are, I'd take them down. Remember Beast, oh no, I was once nicknamed 'Niubilin', able to burst a thousand men's chrysanthemums from afar, and capture someone's virginity within a blink from ten thousand miles away. If anyone dares mess with my Queen Qi, no matter how arrogant, they will kneel."

Lin Hai spoke without a hint of humility.

"Pfft," Queen Qi almost burst out laughing.

She used to find his words sleazy, but after spending more time with him, she found them endearingly cute.

Sometimes, a serious man is the most attractive, even if he says immature things, but the woman who loves him won't find it childish, instead, she appreciates it.

This is the greatness of a woman, inherently aligning to redeem a man's soul and cleanse his spirit.

"It's fine now, Lin Hai, don't get agitated, I need to rest now, good night."

"Queen Qi, I'll visit you when I'm less busy."

After hanging up, Queen Qi hugged her phone and drifted into dreamland, feeling blissful.

Lin Hai approached the villa and widened his eyes at the sight in the living room.

Shit, what's up with that black piece of underwear?

Lin Hai took a step forward only to step on a black stocking.

Sounds of running water echoed from the bathroom, apparently someone was taking a shower.

"You're back?"

The bathroom echoed with Ouyang Xiaoya's crisp voice.

Lin Hai opened his mouth, about to ask what was going on, when he heard Ouyang Xiaoya's voice again:

"Waited for you too long, hurry up and come in."

Click—

Lin Hai's jaw almost dropped.

What's the situation here? The fierce tigress is taking a bath and asking me to join...

Countless thoughts instantly surged through his mind.

"Stop dawdling, can you just come inside quickly?"

Lin Hai paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing: "The CEO has always kept our relationship ambiguous, and I, being such a fool, have never truly confessed."

"Now that she's my girlfriend, considering the openness of nowadays, many couples turn to 'bam bam bam' very soon after getting together, turning raw rice into popcorn, yet the CEO and I haven't even really held hands much."

"She must be hinting at something, yeah, definitely."

"She's a girl, so she's reserved and embarrassed to say it outright, hinting at it in this way instead."

Lin Hai's beastly thinking immediately interpreted it as the CEO wanting to "foster a closer relationship" with him.

"Forget it, might as well be a beast then, although I am a man of principles."

Lin Hai took a deep breath, gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

"Are you coming or not?"

The voice from the bathroom sounded again.

Lin Hai quickened his pace, after all, he's King Yan who has emerged from piles of corpses and seas of blood, what's there to fear about entering a bathroom?

Creak, the door opened.

Lin Hai walked in.

"Close the door, it's cold," the voice came.

Lin Hai looked in front of him; the bathtub was obscured by a pale yellow curtain, with water continuously splashing from the showerhead, revealing a beautiful figure intermittently under the heat lamp.

"Come here." Ouyang Xiaoya's voice came again, and she was scooping water with both hands.

"Shit! This movement is so tempting!" Lin Hai's nostrils almost burst with blood uncontrollably.

Lin Hai walked over, trying his best to control his rapid breathing, even feeling a bit at a loss. This was a goddess-level woman, just inches away, and only separated by a curtain.

"Scrub my back."

Hearing the commanding words from the CEO, Lin Hai finally understood, this was definitely to "promote relations" and "exchange feelings."

Picking up the bath sponge, Lin Hai took a deep breath, the precision of a first-class supreme expert, controlling his arms to not tremble, little by little, moving towards the CEO's white and jade-like back.

"Press harder."

Lin Hai quickly increased the strength, the fragrance wafting around his breath...

...

At the villa's living room, at this moment, Ruoshuang and Hua Hua walked in holding two bath sponges and a shower flower, just to hear voices coming from the bathroom:

"Press harder"

"Faster"

"Lower"

"Harder, faster...ouch."

Hua Hua and Ruoshuang instantly froze on the spot, looking at each other, utterly dumbfounded.
