Chapter 2294 - 2295: I Have My Limits Too 3

"It stinks," Wubai said with a smile.

"Does it really stink?" What should she do, she felt mortified!

Wubai patted her tense little face and urged her to get up: "I’ll run the water, wait here, I’ll carry you to take a bath later."

"You’ll wash me?"

"Or do you want to wash yourself?" Wubai asked in return.

Little Ai bit her lip: "I’ll... I’ll try. I’m just afraid my leg will touch the water."

"Silly girl, even if you want to wash yourself, I can’t let you be alone in the bathroom. What if you slip and fall again? I can’t bear that," he said, his gaze gentle beyond words, an irresistible allure for Little Ai.

At that moment, she felt so happy.

...

Wrapped in warm water, Little Ai felt drowsy.

"Do you want to use a face mask?" Wubai, sitting on a chair by the bathtub, glanced toward the masks on the shelf above the sink with interest.

Little Ai opened her eyes, seeing Wubai’s intoxicating smile, drawing her deeper and deeper.

"I do."

"Hold on." Wubai stood up and brought over two masks, he applied one on her first, then did one for himself, and moved a lounge chair over to lie beside her.

The bathroom was steamy, like a sauna.

Neither spoke, quietly closing their eyes and enjoying the comfort.

Suddenly, Wubai burst out laughing, recalling something amusing, chatted with her: "Do you remember that year you insisted on making honey egg white masks, forced me to do it with you, and we both ended up with allergic reactions, our faces looked ruined, we didn’t dare to go out for days."

Thinking of that embarrassing incident, Little Ai said: "You still remember, that was because the honey expired, it wasn’t my fault for making the mask."

She had heard from other classmates that DIY masks were better than store-bought ones, plus she had just moved to Wubai’s place not long ago, still felt constrained, and didn’t dare spend recklessly, saving whenever possible, but ended up causing his allergic reaction, she remembered Wubai didn’t speak to her for days, she was so nervous, afraid he’d kick her out.

After the bath, the two shared the same bed.

That night, Wubai received a call, at three in the morning, the phone rang multiple times until Little Ai nudged Wubai awake. Drowsily, he uttered "Hmm?", and then lifted his head, seeing the phone flashing on the table, went "Oh," picked up the call: "Hello?"

"Get people to Miami immediately, something happened to Sheng Sheng!"

Wubai jolted upright: "What happened?"

Zun Zun said over the phone: "Sheng Sheng and I were handling some business in Miami, he got ambushed and captured, I’m trying to find him, get people over here within 5 hours."

Wubai quickly got out of bed, the call not yet ended, as he dressed he asked: "Any idea who did it?"

"I suspect it’s the Yuan family retaliating!"

"Last time they teamed up to set Yuan Shao up, causing the Yuan family to lose their only heir, there’s been no movement for so long, we’ve been cautious for months without any sign, they must have been planning this for a while, now Sheng Sheng is in their hands, I dread to think of the consequences."

Wubai already dressed, "Should we tell Dad?"

"I wanted to hide it, but now..." Zun Zun hesitated.

Wubai resolutely said: "I’ll tell Dad, this could be big or small, but Dad is much more experienced than we are."
