Chapter 24

***

Su Hang slammed his bedroom door closed. He took off his suit jacket and tossed it to the ground as he walked. He rushed into the connecting bathroom, turned on the shower, and gave himself an ice-cold shower in this early winter season.

As the cold water washed over his body, it extinguished his sudden desire and finally let Su Hang breathe a sigh of relief. Putting his back against the bathroom wall, Su Hang closed his eyes and began to reflect.

J-just now...just now he almost...almost...to Shen Xi...

Su Hang opened his red-tinged eyes and once again warned himself: You and Shen Xi have been married for only two months! Don't be too anxious, being too anxious would scare her.

But damn it, just the thought of her blushing face, her teary expression, the way she bit her lips...Su Hang returned under the cold spray of the shower.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Shen Xi sat on the sofa as the door slammed behind her. Shen Xi looked at the tightly closed door and felt that she had just experienced the saying 'don't even try to understand the mind of a man.'

After a silent sigh, Shen Xi took off her other high-heel, baring her two white-jade feet. She stood up, intending to go upstairs and felt the long hem of her dress graze her medicine-covered right foot. Shen Xi thought of the way Su Hang meticulously coated her foot with medicine and couldn't bear to waste all his hard work. Shen Xi bent down and held up her long skirt, revealing her smooth legs. She continued to walk up the stairs.

Back in her room, Shen Xi opened her closet door to find some pajamas. When she finally attempted to remove her dress, Shen Xi realized that her dress was tied up with a ribbon on her back. For the sake of beauty, the ribbon was winded in a very complicated pattern and was very troublesome to untangle.

Shen Xi tried to undo the ribbon herself several times, but she couldn't find the correct knot. A little annoyed, she looked at herself in the floor-length mirror in a huff. Finally, Shen Xi carefully went downstairs with the skirt of her dress still in her arms. She walked towards Su Hang's room, and after a moment's hesitation, she knocked on his door.

Su Hang, who had just put on a bathrobe, heard a knock on his door. Surprised, he hastened to tie the belt of his robe and quickly opened the door.

"Hi!" Shen Xi awkwardly smiled.

"What's the matter?" Su Hang looked at Shen Xi, who was still wearing her gown.

"That...Mrs. Zhang is already off-duty." Shen Xi was too embarrassed to directly ask a man to untie her clothes. She always thought such actions were like an innuendo or a hint.

"Ah??" Isn't Mrs. Zhang off-duty every night? Su Hang was puzzled. He asked: "Are you hungry?"

"No." Shen Xi hurriedly shook her head. Gnashing her teeth, she finally said: "My...my dress...Mrs. Zhang helped me put it on. The ties are at the back, and I-I can't untie them."

Shen Xi was so embarrassed she lowered her head. Although everything that was supposed to happen already happened in their last life, Shen Xi still felt her words were too provocative just now.

Su Hang trained his gaze at the top of Shen Xi's head and desperately tried to control his overactive imagination. Then, with a hoarse voice, he said: "Then...I'll untie it for you."

"Thank you!" Shen Xi happily raised her head, her shining eyes inadvertently electrifying Su Hang. She then cheerfully turned around.

The bodice of her dress fits her quite well. At a glance, Su Hang could see Shen Xi's beautiful neck, followed by a pair of butterfly bones covered in shimmering tulle. Su Hang could feel the heat he had just managed to tamp down rise again.
