Sensing something amiss, Wang Chenning’s eyes snapped open.
Amid a woman’s gasp, the water in the bathtub rippled.
His eyes widened as he made out the slender figure before him. Wang Chenning was horrified. "How did you get in here?"
The woman had long, flowing hair and a healthy glow on her face. Who else could it be but that little vixen, Yang Xiaofu?
"How did you fall asleep?" Seeing that Wang Chenning had called out her name, Yang Xiaofu, who had been about to flee, had no choice but to turn back. Her face was bright red, and her voice was soft. "Were you that tired?"
"Soaking in the hot water... I just got so drowsy and must have drifted off without realizing it!" Wang Chenning looked down and instantly realized he was in trouble.
Although the bathtub was full, the water was crystal clear.
’If Yang Xiaofu had walked right up to the tub just now, then...’
’This is karma!’
’Wait, her sleeves were rolled up so high. Don’t tell me she actually touched something?’
"Well, you can soak a bit longer!" Yang Xiaofu picked up Wang Chenning’s clothes and sniffed them. "These reek. I’ll throw them in the washing machine for you!"
"But then I won’t have a change of clothes!" Wang Chenning exclaimed. "I’ll just wash them when I get home!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll get you a fresh set of clothes." With that, Yang Xiaofu walked out, hugging his clothes. "You soak a little longer. I’ll call you in a bit."
Wang Chenning was helpless and could only let her take his clothes. He couldn’t very well chase after her wearing nothing, could he?
He was no longer in the mood to soak. He hopped out of the tub and found a bathrobe to wrap around himself.
When he walked out, Yang Xiaofu had already changed and was ready to leave.
"I threw your clothes in the wash. I’m going out to buy you a change of clothes, so just rest for a bit!"
She hadn’t put on her outerwear yet, and her sweater was rather tight, making her exceptionally slender figure all the more alluring.
"Alright," Wang Chenning had no choice but to agree.
"Brother-in-law, you’re so naughty!" Yang Xiaofu covered her mouth, her face red as she stifled a giggle.
Wang Chenning quickly turned away. "It’s just a normal reaction. Nothing to make a fuss about!"
"It seems my brother-in-law is quite fond of his little sister-in-law." Yang Xiaofu walked up to him and deliberately brushed against him, teasing in a sultry voice, "Hee hee, from now on, we’re even, aren’t we?"
Wang Chenning quickly sat down on the sofa, grabbing a throw pillow to cover his front. He then urged her, "Enough with the brother-in-law and sister-in-law stuff. Hurry up and go buy me some clothes. I need to go home and rest."
Yang Xiaofu pursed her lips in a smile and stopped teasing him, walking to the door to change her shoes.
As she opened the door to leave, she threw out another line, "Brother-in-law, are people who study medicine all in particularly great shape? Since you know how to take care of your own body and all!"
Wang Chenning grabbed the pillow and threw it at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as he scolded, "Keep making jokes like that! Aren’t you afraid something serious will happen?"
Yang Xiaofu shrieked and quickly fled out the door.
A moment later, Wang Chenning received a text from Yang Xiaofu: "I took a photo for posterity. If you bully me next time, I’ll send it to my sister."
Wang Chenning resentfully texted back: "Then next time I’m treating you, I’ll take photos and videos too. We’ll see who’s afraid of whom!"
"Brother-in-law, nooo!" Yang Xiaofu immediately begged for mercy. "How about I delete the photo, okay?"
Then another message arrived: "I have no secrets from you anyway, Brother-in-law! As long as you don’t get my face, you can photograph anything else you want. Didn’t you say everyone looks more or less the same down there anyway?"
"I never would have guessed you were such a shameless pro. Just you wait, I’ll teach you a lesson next time!"
"Is Brother-in-law thinking of ’collecting’ his sister-in-law too?" Yang Xiaofu wasn’t scared at all, and her next text had even more of a pro’s touch. "If you’re thinking about it, you’d better work hard! My sister is prettier than me, and her figure is better too!"
"Say one more crazy thing and I’m blocking you!"
"Brother-in-law, nooo! I won’t do it again! I’ll be a good girl and go buy your clothes!"
About half an hour later, Yang Xiaofu returned.
She had bought him a change of underclothes, as well as an expensive Versace suit and tie.
As she handed the clothes to Wang Chenning for him to change, Yang Xiaofu asked playfully, "Brother-in-law, has my sister ever bought you clothes?"
Wang Chenning shook his head. "No. We’ve only known each other for a few days."
"Then does that mean I got your ’first time’?" Yang Xiaofu’s grin was as cunning as a fox that had just made off with a hen.
Wang Chenning ignored her.
He really couldn’t fathom it. The woman who had reacted so awkwardly during their first embarrassing encounter—and who had a sister with a total poker face—was actually such a master flirt that her skills amazed him. She could even give Luo Yuqing a run for her money.
"Brother-in-law, are you mad?" Yang Xiaofu had a mischievous look on her face.
Wang Chenning tossed the throw pillow at her again and went into the bathroom with his clothes.
He had to admit, the suit Yang Xiaofu bought for him fit perfectly, as if it were tailor-made.
After putting on the suit, Wang Chenning felt he looked even more handsome and cool.
Yang Xiaofu’s taste in style was similar to his. When Wang Chenning walked out of the bathroom in his new clothes, her eyes widened instantly.
"Brother-in-law, you look drop-dead gorgeous!" she said, deliberately clutching her heart in a dramatic gesture. "You’re way more handsome than any of the guys trying to woo my sister!"
"Get some rest." Wang Chenning ignored her deliberate fawning and left with his medical kit.
It was only after he got into the elevator that he remembered his old clothes were still at her place.
So, he turned around and went back.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing back?" Yang Xiaofu’s face lit up with excitement when she opened the door and saw him standing outside. "Couldn’t bear to leave your dear, adorable little sister-in-law, so you came back to keep me company?"
Wang Chenning gave her a look that said he couldn’t be bothered to deal with her. "I’m taking my clothes back. Are they washed?"
"I’ll go check!" Yang Xiaofu ran towards the bathroom.
As Wang Chenning sat back down on the sofa, he noticed Yang Xiaofu’s phone, which she had left there with the screen still on.
He glanced at it subconsciously, and his eyes widened when he saw the image on the screen.
’That woman... she really took a picture.’
A shiver ran down Wang Chenning’s spine. He immediately grabbed the phone and unceremoniously deleted all the photos.
Just then, Yang Xiaofu came out of the bathroom and saw him deleting the photos. She let out a cry and lunged at him.
"Don’t touch my phone!" Her pretty face flushed, Yang Xiaofu desperately tried to snatch the phone back.
But in her agitation, she ended up throwing her whole body onto him.
The feeling of a soft, fragrant body in his arms made Wang Chenning freeze for a moment.
He never expected that, while he was stunned, the woman would actually start getting handsy...
