Xuxu quickly covered her eyes with one hand . This was the second time she had seen him naked excluding the times when they were still kids .
Her face seemed to be on fire, and the mortifying thing was that she couldn't seem to get rid of the image of his beastly state in her mind . It haunted her like a spirit .
"Wen Xuxu, what ridiculous thoughts are you thinking of right now?"
His deep and hoarse voice was overflowing with masculine charm—he had suddenly right next to her .
Xuxu shivered uncontrollably as she instinctively moved a step away to dodge him .
"Where are you trying to hide?" Knowing that she was about to flee, Yan Rusheng wrapped his arm around her slender waist . He exerted some strength and pulled her soft body into his embrace .
He bent down and stared fixedly at this woman he had coveted and desired for a long time .

His eyes were filled with sheer determination .
Xuxu blushed shyly at his advances . But deep within her heart, her well-hidden feelings were pulsing as they began to stir .
From her first awakening of love, she had fallen hard for this young rascal who shone brilliantly like the sun . It was this very person who was embracing her so tightly right now .
It would be a lie if she said that she didn't harbor any expectations .
But . . . at the thought of their marriage, and their relationship in reality . . .
She became dispirited once more . She constantly reminded herself that their marriage was to fulfill Grandmother's final wishes, and she needed to produce grandchildren for the Yan family .
But now that they were about to embark into the next stage in their relationship, she actually cared and wondered if he had her in his heart .

She cared very much that her love for him throughout the years had turned into something more complicated .
"Ming Ansheng called earlier, you should call him back . " Xuxu dodged his gaze as she tried to escape from his arms at the same time .
Yan Rusheng originally had a mischievous and wicked smile . But it froze upon her words and his expression abruptly turned dark, resembling ominous dark clouds gathering before a storm .
The sudden transition of his expressions gave Xuxu enormous pressure . And it was frightening enough that she stumbled back a few steps .
"Are you alright?" she asked gingerly, looking worried about him .
Why did his expression change after I said that Ming Ansheng called?
Weren't they close friends? Did they have a fight recently?
Hearing her concerned voice, Yan Rusheng's expression softened a little . He turned to look at her with a tender gaze . "I'll call him now, so you should sleep first . "
He scooped up the clothes that Xuxu had placed on the sofa and grabbed his phone . He put them on while he made his way out .
His body seemed to be weighed down by a heavy burden .
What's troubling him?
Yan Rusheng shut the door after him, and Xuxu stared at it in a daze .
After snapping out of it, she sighed softly . Ming Ansheng's call allowed her to escape from that situation earlier, something that she was grateful for since she wasn't feeling ready .
She lay on the bed, still deep in thought .
She was still drinking the medicine that the Chinese physician had prescribed for her take every night . And she slept well each night with a glass of milk too .
She didn't read, neither did she use her phone . Her thoughts revolved around some random, trivial stuff and soon, she dozed off .
. . .
Around midnight, the door opened softly, and a tall figure entered the room .
Fearing that he might wake the sleeping woman, he removed his bedroom slippers and treaded carefully towards the bed .
Xuxu caught a whiff of alcohol in her dreams, but she was too sleepy to wake up .
The man's deep eyes glittered like obsidian in the darkness . He gazed affectionately at Xuxu who was sound asleep .
