When did he become this gentle?
Shi Yuting sat behind her and saw the scar on her back. He could not help but lift his hand and caress that scar.
“Does it still hurt?”
Hearing that deep voice that was so gentle, Zuo Weiyi was shocked.
What was with this man? He was being too gentle.
She paused for half a second and answered, “Uh, not anymore.”
This scar was already one month old, it no longer hurt.
All of a sudden, she remembered something and turned her head to look at the man.
“Shi Yuting.”
“Yes.” He did not look at her. The focused look he had when he was washing her back was quite charming.
“Has your mother come back?”
“Yes.”
After hearing that, she quickly spun her body around, her face shocked. “Then, is it really alright for you to be with me?!”
She remembered that when she got back, Aunty Yu and Nuannuan wanted her to pretend to be a maid, implying that they did not want his mother to find out about them. Yet, they were sharing a bath now, would that not mean that their relationship was already exposed?
Or had his mother left?
As he heard her words, he looked into her eyes and raised his eyebrows. “Why would it not be alright?”
Zuo Weiyi paused.
Why was this man so indifferent?
“Aren’t you scared that your mother will find out about us?”
“Why would I be? It’s my right that I can keep any woman,” He smiled and kissed her on the lips.
Zuo Weiyi was still bewildered by his statement.
His ‘keeping’ must have meant ‘supporting’, right?
So he meant that whoever he was with, as long as they did not become his wife then it should be fine.
To simplify it, playing around? Yes. Marriage? No.
Half an hour passed and Shi Yuting really had not attempted to do anything, aside from the kiss just now.
After bathing and putting on her clothes, Zuo Weiyi was reminded of something.
Her birth control pills were still in the pockets of the outfit!
She quickly rushed to the bathroom and scoured for the pills in the pocket of the wet outfit, but the package was all wet.
Fortunately, the pills themselves were not affected.
When she exited the bathroom and wanted to put the pills somewhere else, she saw Aunty Yu entering and said to the dressed-up Shi Yuting, “Young Master, Missus wants to see you downstairs.”
Shi Yuting looked up as if he had already known the reason behind his mother’s request.
Looking at his figure leaving, Zuo Weiyi stood while thoughts quietly ran in her mind. She then headed to the bedside table and was prepared to place her pills in the drawer.
Yet, when she pulled open the drawer, it was all Shi Yuting’s belongings.
If she put her pills inside, he would notice it.
Wait, so what if he found out?
This was a safety precaution for him too!
She was not like the female celebrities on the news who used threats and schemes like pregnancy to wed a rich man.
As she thought of that, Zuo Weiyi put the pills in without hesitation.
Yet, when she was putting it in, her eyes caught a familiar box.
Was this not the box that had the couple rings?
If he had taken it back, did it mean that he knew about Jing Xinlei’s scheme and had decided not to give it to her?
She did not care, it was not her business.
When she was done keeping her pills in the drawer, her eyes caught something else before closing the drawer.
What was this?
She took out the small bag that looked like shampoo and stared at it for a long while.
