Velvet Chains of a Tycoon

As the door swung open, she was completely stunned—under the spray nozzle, a man's naked body.

Although it was just his back, Qin Ran's mind instantly conjured up a string of idioms—tall and robust, well-proportioned, broad-shouldered, and narrow-hipped.

She wondered if he had an eight-pack abs in front.

While lost in thought, a wet piece of clothing was suddenly thrown at her, landing directly on her head.

Everything went dark.

"Get out!"

The sudden roar of a man's voice, like a lion's angry growl.

Qin Ran pulled the wet fabric off her head and quickly turned around, scrambling out of the master bedroom.

In the guest room, she felt something warm on her nose. She grabbed a tissue to wipe it, only to find—damn, she was actually bleeding from her nose.

It was just a man's naked body, and it wasn't as if she hadn't seen one before—damn, she really hadn't!

She had neither eaten pork nor seen a pig run.

The main issue was, didn't the man say he wouldn't stay here often?

Why did he come on the first day she moved in?

And, if he was in the bathroom, why didn't he close the door to the master bedroom?

This was the aftermath of a rushed marriage; you never knew the other person's habits.

Although the man was both cold and violent, it had to be admitted that his physique was top-notch.

In the bathroom, Qin Ran had left, but Lu Sheng was furious!

That damn woman, how could she not knock before entering?

To barge into someone else's bathroom without any sense of shame?

His body had been seen by that woman just now.

Even though she was his nominal wife and hadn't done anything indecent, it still made him extremely uncomfortable.

"I should have known that marriage would bring so many inconveniences..."

Lu Sheng punched the wall.

Moreover, could Qin Ran have done this on purpose?

Because earlier, she had asked about their marital duties, indicating that she wanted to pounce on him, a real slut.

But tonight, he couldn't prove that Qin Ran had done it intentionally, which frustrated him.

After bathing, he grabbed a robe and put it on, then went to the living room.

Qin Ran was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone. When she heard the sound, she looked up and saw Lu Sheng, involuntarily frowning.

"Mr. Lu, could you please wear pajamas after bathing?"

Lu Sheng was handsome and tall, with a strong build. The robe barely covered his chest and eight-pack abs, making it hard for any woman to ignore.

Only she, with her strong mental fortitude and lack of interest in looks, could resist. Any ordinary woman would have pounced on him.

"How was I supposed to know you'd be sitting on the sofa in the living room?"

After retorting, Lu Sheng quickly tied the sash of his robe, covering most of his chest.

Having another woman in the house was indeed very inconvenient.

Before, he could just wrap a towel around his waist and walk around the house after a shower.

"It's my fault, I'll go back to my room."

Qin Ran stood up and, before reaching the guest room, turned back and asked, "Can I borrow the master bathroom for tonight? The public bathroom doesn't have curtains, so I can't use it."

Lu Sheng: "..."

He had forgotten that the curtains in the public bathroom had been torn down and not yet replaced. The housekeeper was busy and probably hadn't had time to buy new ones.

This apartment was bought last week to deal with the rushed marriage. The previous owner hadn't lived there, and he had only changed the soft furnishings.

The bathroom was his private space, and it had never been invaded before.

But getting the housekeeper to buy new curtains now was impossible.

Besides, calling the housekeeper would reveal his true identity.

Having another woman in the house was truly inconvenient.

Seeing Lu Sheng didn't respond, Qin Ran frowned and asked again, "Is it not possible?"

If it were winter, going a night without a bath wouldn't be a big deal, but it was summer!

And it was the sweltering month of August. She had been running around all day and even carried two heavy bags back, her clothes soaked with sweat.

Lu Sheng was too cold; even though it was hot, his presence made her feel like she was in the dead of winter.

"Fine, but don't leave any seductive items in the bathroom."

Women these days used all sorts of tricks to get into a good man's bed. Especially since this one was a slut, he had to be careful.

Qin Ran's mouth twitched, "What do you mean by 'seductive items'?"

Lu Sheng was taken aback, then glared, "Like stockings, underwear—don't leave a single thread in my bathroom."

"OK, got it!"

Qin Ran rolled her eyes. She didn't have any such things to leave behind.

Her clothes were all cotton, and silk was too expensive for her.

Taking her sleepwear, she went to the master bathroom and locked the door immediately.

Even though the man showed disdain, she still remembered the safety manual.

Hearing the lock click, Lu Sheng sneered.

This woman was just putting on an act, trying to appear virtuous when she was clearly a slut.

In the bathroom, Qin Ran looked at the black-and-white decor and the minimalistic men's toiletries.

On the sink, there was a white toothbrush holder, a tube of toothpaste, a bottle of mouthwash, and a razor.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Lu Sheng used a manual razor.

In the shower area, there was a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of body wash, both brands she had never seen before, likely for men.

Sweating profusely, she set the water temperature quite high.

The scalding water poured over her head and body. She applied shampoo and scrubbed vigorously.

She had oily hair, and while she could wash it every other day in winter, in summer, she had to wash it daily.

As she was scrubbing her hair, she suddenly felt a warm flow. Her body froze.

Her period was supposed to start in three days, why had it come early?

Oh, period, why did you have to sneak up on me like this?

She stood there, dumbfounded, letting the hot water pour over her.

After about a minute, she snapped out of it and quickly finished her bath.

Stepping out of the shower, she scanned the bathroom, her gaze finally landing on a box of tissues on the tatami mat.

She couldn't stay in the bathroom forever; she needed to address the situation.

She reached for the tissues, only to find—why were they moist towelettes?

Oh, my God, was Lu Sheng so perverted that he only had moist towelettes in the bathroom?

How was she supposed to deal with this emergency with moist towelettes?
