  With a cold expression, she casually picked up her clothes from the floor and put them on whilst heading into the bathroom.

  When she reached the door of the bathroom, she could smell the faint scent of a medicinal fragrance.

  Thinking that she must have smelled wrong, she snapped into a daze for a moment before pushing open the door of the bathroom.

  The bathtub was already filled with hot water.

  There was a light green layer of liquid resting on the surface of the warm water, and thick smoke was curling up in the air from it.

  The whole room was filled with this scent.

  It was faint but exceptionally soothing and comfortable to smell.

  There was also a sticky note pasted on the edge of the bathtub.

  The handwriting on it was exactly the same as the one for yesterday’s ginger soup. The cursive writing was beautiful and the message was very brief.

  [Medicated bath, for a fast recovery]

  Tan Bengbeng tightened the grip of the sticky note, feeling an ulterior motive behind his words.

  The reason she was feeling uncomfortable all over was all thanks to him.

  Tan Bengbeng simply threw the sticky note into the bin and entered the bathroom.

  She actually rather liked the medicinal scent that filled the bathroom.

  Although she did not ask, she could vaguely feel that Qi Yan was rather learned at concocting medicine.

  The medicated oil that he had passed to her previously and the herbs in the garden, plus, the medicated bath now…


  It was as if he could do magic, and produced many things she never expected.

  But, after searching around in the house, she did not find any place where medicinal herbs were kept. Were these herbs all freshly collected from his garden?

  Tan Bengbeng reached out to scoop up a few pieces of the leaves that were floating on the water to carefully survey.

  After recognizing these herbs, her gaze flickered.

  As she confirmed that Qi Yan wasn’t out to harm her, she took off her clothes and slowly entered the bathtub…


  The combination of the warm water inside the bathtub and the faint medicinal scent was enough to completely soothe one’s nerves.

  After rinsing herself in the bathtub for some time, Tan Bengbeng felt her body becoming much lighter.

  She no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.

  The effect of Qi Yan’s medicine always seemed to be miraculous.

  She shut her eyes and slowly rested against the edge of the bathtub. Just when she was about to lie inside the bathwater for a little longer to rest, she suddenly heard the sound of a wheelchair’s movements from the corner of her ear.

  It was like a sudden reminder for her.

  Her nerves that had been soothed by the medicated bath, instantly tightened.

  It suddenly came to her that she had not locked the door of the bathroom. The door had already been opened by someone from the outside.

  Qi Yan was sitting in the wheelchair with a sinister look in his amorous eyes. His eyes were fixed intensely on the bathtub, where she was lying completely naked…


  His sudden appearance made Tan Bengbeng unable to hide herself in time.

  She simply remained where she was, staring blankly at him.

  When she eventually noticed his gaze growing deeper, with a strange look flashing in his eyes, Tan Bengbeng finally realized that she had completely exposed her body.

  She lowered her head to look at her completely naked body, then raised her head again to look at Qi Yan still staring at her.

  The first thought that flashed in her head was if it would be faster for her to put on her clothes, or to stab his eyes.

  After rationally analyzing the situation, she came to the conclusion that whatever she was to do now would be too late.

  Facing his intense gaze, she still couldn’t help but eventually frown and remind him,

  “I’m bathing. You should shy away. This is basic respect for a woman.”


  How could this despicable hooligan act so self-righteously?

  Qi Yan frowned in a sinister manner and remarked, “By staring at you and not shifting my eyes away, I’m giving you the greatest respect already. If you were to strip naked in front of me and I didn’t have any reaction at all, I’m afraid you’d take things too hard.”


  “!!!”


  He always had an abundance of warped reasoning.

  It was the same when he had previously announced boldly, “I was the one who saved you, and I’m the one who slept with you as well. You don’t have to thank me, and I won’t be responsible for you as either.”


  In his world, he seemed to be the one controlling everything.

  He only had to consider whether he liked something or not, and not whether it was right.
