Throughout the evening, Lu Xiao followed Cecilia and was introduced to many people. By the time the banquet ended and she returned to her room with Ares, she felt more exhausted than she did after a day of treating S-Class males in her consulting room.
'I guess being powerful and influential isn't as easy as it looks.'
Ares looked at Lu Xiao's weary expression, his heart aching for her. "If you don't feel like moving, then just rest."
"But I haven't taken a shower yet." Lu Xiao leaned against Ares, already feeling sleepy.
Her casual gesture made his heart melt. He swept Lu Xiao into his arms. "I'll bathe you."
Lu Xiao laughed, wrapping her arms around Ares's neck. Her warm breath carried the scent of wine. "In that case, Ares, you can only give me a bath. No funny business!"
Ares gazed at her. Her dark eyes, veiled with a misty haze, held an unexpected allure. He swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure. "I can't promise that."
