Chapter 18: Chapter 18 He Should Be More Greedy!

"I... I fell asleep? Did you carry me back? Oh gosh, that’s just... that’s just so embarrassing!"

Ye Li was too nervous to lift her head to look at Yanci. She jumped out of bed, hung up her down jacket, and then dashed into the bathroom without looking back, "I’m so tired, I’m going to shower first, okay?"

Bang!

The bathroom door closed.

The bedroom quieted down.

Yanci turned and glanced in the direction of the bathroom, unable to resist curving his lips into a slight smile.

He had thought she might be more adept at this game, but it turned out she was not even like paper.

At best, she was like a snowflake, melting upon the slightest touch!

The softness his fingertips had touched resurged, deepening the light in his eyes.

He should be more greedy!

If he were greedier, he could have captured that soft and delicate part of her.

And then, he would see her panic as she broke out of her pretend slumber.

He clenched his hand as if he was grasping that slight touch in the palm of his hand.

The sound of water filled the air, and he imagined her standing beautifully and eternally under the shower, with the warm water sliding down from her blushing cheeks.

Yanci suddenly stood up and walked to the window.

He quickly reined in his wandering thoughts, yet his body involuntarily responded.

A flash of annoyance flickered through his eyes.

Inside the bathroom, only after Ye Li finished her bath did that tinge of embarrassment quietly settle down.

She grabbed a towel to dry off and was about to wrap herself in a bathrobe when she froze, arms outstretched.

Afraid Yanci would see her flushed cheeks and realize she had been pretending to sleep, she had rushed into the bathroom as swift as lightning.

But she had forgotten something crucial!

She hadn’t grabbed her bathrobe!!!

This was really... the end of her.

Was she supposed to go out wrapped in just a towel?

It was late at night; would Yanci think she was trying to seduce him?

Covering her face and whimpering for a while, Ye Li resigned herself to the situation and knocked on the bathroom door, "Yanci? Yanci, are you there?"

Silence from outside.

"Yanci, I..."

Before Ye Li could prepare herself emotionally to ask him for help normally,

the bathroom door buzzed open.

The warm orange light from the bedroom leaked through a gap.

His figure was obscured by the wall and unclear.

Only his hand reached out, offering her the bathrobe.

"Thank you!"

Relieved, Ye Li snatched the bathrobe from his hand and quickly closed the door with a bang.

Whew...

Her gaze fell on the snow-white bathrobe, but her mind was filled with images of him preparing to undress her.

Ye Li looked up and saw her glistening eyes and flushed cheeks in the mirror.

Her heart started pounding rapidly again.

She couldn’t keep thinking like this!

Shaking her head, Ye Li cast away all those romantic thoughts and the fantastical notions that made her heart race, changed into her bathrobe, wrapping herself tightly, and stepped out of the bathroom with her hair dried.

Yanci was putting on his coat.

Ye Li paused, "You’re going out this late?"

"You go to sleep first."

The thought of her pretending to sleep to avoid being alone with him weighed on him.

Yanci’s eyes darkened slightly, "I have plans with some friends, I’ll be back late."

"Oh."

Ye Li nodded.

Her obvious relief was palpable.

Yanci could almost feel the little person inside of her heaving a long sigh of relief.

He turned and pushed the door open.

The Maybach sped out of the alley and, after about ten minutes, stopped in front of a quiet little building.

At the end of the corridor in a suite, when Yanci entered, the card players at the table all paused and looked up.
