Throwing himself into the bathtub filled with hot water, Xiang Huan closed his eyes, trying to relax himself.
But it can't be done.
The first experience of foreign object invasion was not a good one.
Coupled with everything that happened tonight, Xiang Huan wiped the moisture from his cheeks, hoping that it was just a dream.
Unfortunately, her mother's late-night call quickly forced her back to reality.
Pan Ning asked her daughter how she was tonight on the phone, talking a lot.
To sum it up, I ask, is there any chance?
The water in the bathtub began to get colder, and Xiang Huan's mood also dropped.
This time she didn't hide it from her mother and told her what she and her only son did in the Japanese food store.
Pan Ning was on the other end of the phone, her pupils shaking.
But as a veteran, she quickly calmed down and asked her daughter a key question.
"So is he wearing that? You're not taking any medicine, right?"
Xiang Huan felt the corners of his eyes burning, "I'm not wearing it, and I'm not taking any medicine. I should have emergency contraception at home. I'll take it later."
"Eat whatever you want!" Pan Ning's voice was sharp. "It seems that this kid is not as smart as his father. He gave you a chance so easily. You are not allowed to take medicine."
Xiang Huan stood up from the cold bath water, "Mom, do you know what his name was before he was recognized by the Cheng family?"
"what is it call?"
Xiang Huan laughed self-deprecatingly, "His name is Xiao Ye, and he was just released from prison a few days ago."
Pan Ning's pupils on the other end of the phone were shaking again.
After a while of silence, Xiang Huan heard his mother speak, "This is actually good news. Do you feel... does he still care about you?"
Xiang Huan's eyes were full of fatigue and decadence.
She forced her tone to sound normal, "You should be thinking about it. Even if it doesn't work, I will make it impossible for him to leave..."
Pan Ning was quite satisfied with her daughter's answer.
In the afternoon, Xiang Huan drove to the brand furniture store he represented.
She won the agency rights of the high-end furniture brand "Fanxi" three years ago and is now preparing to open a branch.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the store manager personally greeting customers. Although customers could only see his back, Xiang Huan recognized him immediately.
It's Narino.
When the handsome salesman in the store saw that the boss was arriving, he immediately came over with a smile and asked Xiang Huan if he wanted to drink coffee.
Narino, who was looking at the bed, heard the noise and moved his eyes over.
Xiang Huan told the handsome salesperson to prepare two glasses of iced American style. After that, he walked towards Chengye and called Mr. Cheng with a smile.
"I came here to take a look. I want to change into a comfortable big bed. My mother said you opened this store." Chengye's face was not as enthusiastic as Xiang Huan's, and his tone of voice was obviously arrogant.
The store manager walked away wisely, leaving space for his boss and customers.
"I'm used to sleeping on hard boards. Now that I'm married, the bed is so soft that I can't sleep on it. It's not as good as the tabletop in the Japanese food store last night..."
Chengye stopped talking and stared at Xiang Huan meaningfully.
Xiang Huan pretended not to understand, "Then the bed is not good for you. You should change it to a suitable mattress. However, I don't have any that are too hard in the store. The ones used for display are all of moderate softness."
"Do you like things that are neither soft nor hard?" Narino bent down and pressed the cushion on the bed next to him.
Xiang Huan took the coffee delivered without comment and gave Cheng Qi a cup.
"I'm not used to drinking this stuff. Why don't you go sit in my car for a while? I have ice-cold Coke in my car." Narino raised the car key in his hand.
Xiang Huan followed him to the underground parking lot. As soon as he got into the car, Narino started the car.
"I want to go to your house and see how you sleep, for reference."
After returning home, Xiang Huan just led him to the door of his bedroom, and the next second he was pulled hard and fell onto the mattress.
An iceberg-like figure loomed up from behind her.
There is no prelude or kissing at all, just get to the point.
Xiang Huan was unable to be immersed and empathic, and because this was a humiliating gesture in her mind, she finally couldn't help but speak out.
Called stop.
Not hearing any verbal response, Xiang Huan only felt the breath on his neck becoming increasingly cold and unbearable.
At this moment, the afternoon sun outside the bedroom window was still very strong, shining through the glass onto the big bed.
The people and objects on the bed were completely invisible.
It wasn't until the room became dim that the number of people on the mattress changed from two to one.
Xiang Huan endured the pain and sat up, hearing the sound of running water in the bathroom mixed with the sound of people talking on the phone.
After she wrapped her nightgown around her body, Narino walked out of the bathroom.
He picked up the clothes and pants scattered on the floor and put them on again. He didn't even look at Xiang Huan during the process, and only said something while he was putting on his socks.
"At eight o'clock tomorrow night, Cheng Tianyu has prepared a welcome party for me. You and your mother can come over."
Xiang Huan was a little surprised, but he quickly asked subconsciously, "Tell me what you will wear tomorrow night, so I can cooperate with you."
Narino raised his face in shock.
"What does it have to do with you? My female companion tomorrow night is not you."
