Not long after Xia Li left, the sound of splashing water in the pool stopped.
Wang Yuyan looked up and caught sight of Jiang Cheng getting out of the water with agile movements. Droplets of water trickled down his firm muscle lines, past his well-defined abs, and disappeared into his swim trunks.
For a moment, Wang Yuyan felt as if she had returned to the time at the Luxury Hotel.
She quickly stepped forward, picked up a large bath towel nearby, and wrapped him up tightly.
Her fingertips inadvertently brushed against his slightly cool skin, and her voice carried a hint of a smile: "Mr. Jiang, take it slow, don't catch a cold."
Hearing the way Wang Yuyan addressed him, Jiang Cheng looked at her with some surprise: "What did you call me?"
"Mr. Jiang, of course. I am currently your private butler."
Jiang Cheng let her continue, looking down at her with a hint of a smile at the corners of his eyes.
He reached out and patted her perky buttocks: "Butler Wang, long time no see."
Wang Yuyan knew that Jiang Cheng didn't mean those words literally.
He meant that he hadn't seen her in her role as a butler for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Cheng playing along with her role-play, Wang Yuyan stood on her tiptoes and lightly ran her fingers across his abs.
She suddenly leaned close to his ear, her voice soft and seductive: "Long time no see. I haven't seen you for so long that I was so excited I bit my tongue just now. My tongue hurts a bit now. Could I use your abs as an ice pack?"
"An ice pack using just abs is useless... you need something icy to hold in your mouth..."
Her fingertips were still clutching a corner of the towel, and a shy light flickered in her eyes, afraid Jiang Cheng would refuse. She added, "I have a surprise for you."
With such a provocation, Jiang Cheng stirred: "Oh? What surprise?"
At this question, Wang Yuyan felt a bit embarrassed.
The thought that had surfaced when she caught a glimpse of Xia Li's necklace earlier now rose clearly again.
She couldn't stay by his side forever; she would have to leave this Courtyard House in a few days sooner or later.
Although Jiang Cheng hadn't said anything, she couldn't just keep overstaying her welcome.
After thinking this, her eyes instantly took on a hint of allure as she looked at Jiang Cheng: "You've heard of Victoria's Secret, right?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately: "What?"
"It's that brand with the Supermodel fashion shows," Wang Yuyan bit her lip, a flash of mischief in her eyes. "When I was in Sweden, I specifically bought a few pieces. I've been wanting to wear them for you. Yesterday was too rushed, but now... do you want to go inside?"
With that said, Jiang Cheng understood instantly.
How could he not know? He had looked very closely when he went to Great Britain last time.
Why did he say that? Mainly because the styles created by the designers were suited for those of the 'hairless' variety.
Anyone with a lot of body hair wouldn't look good wearing them.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a bit worried about Wang Yuyan.
Jiang Cheng was just that kind of person; he had to act immediately on whatever came to mind.
Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
This was probably what they call 'compulsive penetration disorder.'
Now that his 'compulsive penetration' urge had kicked in, his hands also began to verify the situation.
Upon confirming, a small Nike-swoosh-shaped smirk, which hadn't appeared in a long while, instantly curled onto the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth.
This... is quite interesting.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had discovered her little scheme, Wang Yuyan's face turned even redder.
After a muffled groan, she bit her lip and looked at Jiang Cheng with a charming expression.
That's right, to match those unique designs meticulously crafted by the designers, she had specifically gone to a beauty salon today.
She hadn't just done a 'refreshing system' treatment; she had even given herself a good maintenance session, fading the dark circles under her eyes that had been caused by Jiang Cheng's tossing and turning over the past few days.
At this moment, her skin could be described as fresh, smooth, white, and very tender.
To be fair, the time she spent by Jiang Cheng's side wasn't much; compared to couples living together, it should be considered quite short.
Although she had already accepted that there would be other Girls around Jiang Cheng.
But after finishing the refreshing treatment and beauty session today, she truly felt that having many Girls around Jiang Cheng was a benefit.
"How is it? Is it a bit different..."
But having had a taste was one thing, and Jiang Cheng didn't want to spoil the fun.
With a low chuckle, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the changing room, his steps hurried yet steady.
"I actually don't want to see it," he turned his head, his eyes filled with a smile so deep it wouldn't dissipate, his voice a bit husky. "I just finished swimming and I'm a bit tired. I want to go lie on the bed with you."
Wang Yuyan's cheeks instantly burned hot. As she was pulled forward by him, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a sweet, soft arc.
Before the two of them could even walk out of the pool area, a set of hurried footsteps approached from afar. Wang Sheng's figure appeared at the entrance of the corridor, but he didn't dare come in.
Seeing Jiang Cheng walk out, he didn't look up either.
Keeping his head down and not looking at Wang Yuyan, he spoke: "Young Master Jiang, there's unusual activity outside! It's people from Xu Zhi's side..."
"He's come to Kyoto?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng ask in front of Wang Yuyan.
Wang Sheng replied: "Yes. As far as I know, his plane flew in from Pengcheng at three in the afternoon, and he brought people with him. They are currently moving around nearby. Should we..."
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Since they've come, there's no reason to let them leave. I'll go rest for a bit first. You invite them to come in and sit for a while."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng directly put his arm around Wang Yuyan and walked toward the inner room.
"Yes, Young Master..." Wang Sheng responded. The moment he turned around, the aura around him instantly turned cold. The previous urgency vanished completely, replaced by a chilling air of killing intent.
Wang Yuyan couldn't help but glance back. Although she didn't know what 'killing intent' was, she could feel that Wang Sheng's current aura was somewhat terrifying.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she tugged at Jiang Cheng's sleeve, asking in a low voice: "Did something happen?"
