Deep Love For You - Chapter 25：This Man Is Horrid!

When the door to the bathroom closed, Banxia finally heaved a sigh of relief. She slowly slid into the warm water.

She was relieved, but Mo Chenyan had a completely different reaction on his end.

Having left the bathroom, he went downstairs and headed straight for the refrigerator.

He opened it and took a cooling cup out, then headed to the dining table to pour himself a cup of iced water and gulped it down quickly.

His breathing was deep and heavy, and even the iced water couldn’t calm his current state.

Mo Chenyan gulped down another cup of water and pinched his temple. He finally felt slightly better.

He remained downstairs for about 10 minutes before heading up.

The woman in the bathroom wouldn’t be done so quickly. Mo Chenyan walked to the bedside and got a pack of cigarettes from the drawer. He took a stick out and brought his lighter along to the balcony.

The night was dark and quiet, and the few stars that he caught sight of were especially bright.

He lit the cigarette and took a puff, his expression cold as ever.

The man stood tall and slender on the balcony. He was still in his white shirt and black tailored pants, exuding the same air of class. The light from his cigarette flickered against the dark of night.

About 15 minutes later, the woman in the bathroom called out to him tentatively. Mo Chenyan extinguished the stick and headed back in.

When he entered the bathroom this time, her hair wasn’t like before. She’d tied it up in a high bun, revealing her fair and smooth shoulders.

Banxia was sitting in the bathtub and looking up at him. She had no idea what he was thinking.

She smiled. “Mo Chenyan, I’m done showering.”

The man nodded and easily picked her up from the bathtub. Although his sleeves had already been rolled up, a huge portion was still soaked.

Banxia was sitting on the bed in her bathrobe. She quietly said, “You’re all soaked now. Go get a shower.”

Mo Chenyan nodded and headed into the bathroom. Soon after, she heard the sound of water running.

Banxia toweled herself dry and changed into her clothes while sitting on the bed.

When the man came out, her hair was down and she was in a satin nightgown. A pretty woman like her looked as if she had makeup on, even when she hadn’t.

Mo Chenyan was in a navy blue set of pajamas. He went to his half of the bed and lay down, taking in Banxia’s faint scent.

“You’ve had a long day, sleep early.”

Banxia turned off the bedlamp on her side after saying that and slid under the blanket. She then turned to face him.

She was saving him the trouble of pulling her towards him. But this intentional act of hers sparked something odd in his eyes.

It had actually already become a habit for him to pull her towards him every night.

“Good night, Mrs. Mo.”

Banxia smiled sweetly.

“Good night.”

…

It was already eight in the morning when she woke up the following day.

Banxia opened her eyes slowly and looked at the ceiling for a few seconds.

She then turned around and saw Mo Chenyan sitting on the couch. He was looking at his notebook screen expressionlessly.

“Mo Chenyan, aren’t you only home in the afternoon?” Banxia was shocked. “You’re not working in the morning too?”

“What are you going to do if I go to work?”

The man placed his notebook aside and said, “Aunt Li can’t possibly carry you.”

She was speechless.

It sounded strange coming from him.

“Then why didn’t you wake me?” Banxia looked at him in confusion. “If I just sleep on, you’ll stay here and wait?”

She thought of the Chinese saying: “The Emperor attends to politics in the morning no more.”

Mo Chenyan smiled as if reading her mind.

“Mrs. Mo, even if I’m the Emperor, you’re no Empress.”

Banxia knitted her brows slightly. “… What do you mean? Are you saying I’m ugly?”

“I never said that.”

He shook his head and appeared innocent.

Banxia clenched her jaw.

He carried her to the bathroom for her to wash up, and then carried her back to the bed when she was done. Before leaving, he even ruffled her hair.

“Aunt Li will send your breakfast up later. If you need water or anything else, just get Aunt Li to help you. Don’t walk about on your own. You need to rest well for these two days to recover, then we’ll be able to go and visit Grandpa and Grandma. Alright?”

“Mm.” Banxia nodded obediently and smiled. “Be careful on the road.”

“Mm, I’m leaving.”

He paused for a while before adding, “I’ve something for you when I’m back.”

Banxia was a little stunned as she watched him leave.

This man was horrid! How could he just leave her in suspense!

…

Ling Nian stood by the full-length window of her bedroom and drew the curtains. Her eyes landed on a black Lamborghini, but she didn’t take too much notice of it.

But when she went downstairs and took a second look at it, she found something off about it.

It wasn’t as if she lived in Jin Garden, why would there be luxury cars like this around…

The first person she could associate with a black Lamborghini was Li Hanchuan… What was this jerk doing here?

Ling Nian shook her head and walked past the car.

That was when she heard someone opening the car door, and then a man’s voice. “Ling Nian!”

She stopped in her tracks.

But it was only for a moment. She went on ahead thereafter as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

“Ling Nian, wait up!”

Li Hanchuan strode towards her quickly, then stood right before her, blocking her path. He glared at her coldly with his brows furrowed.
