In this private hot spring, the two sat opposite each other, enjoying a rare serenity.

  At this moment, the night sky in Malang city was completely silent.

  Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the peaceful atmosphere combined with the warmth of this hot spring makes it feel like they're in the clouds.

  Vivi felt a faint coolness on her face, then she opened her eyes and whispered, "This place is really great!"

  Tom stared at her for a moment, showing a smile in his eyes. "Yeah, you like it?!"

  Vivi didn't speak, but reached out to wash her shoulders.

  She looked a little innocent and childish, and the warm color of the floor lamp was reflected in her bright eyes.

  Not long after, the waiter brought two trays of warm Sake from the room.

  Tom waved his hand to signal the waiter leave, then took the glass and handed it to Vivi. "This is alcohol from Japan, taste it."

  After hearing the voice, Vivi averted her gaze. In her eyes, Tom's smile looks very handsome and pleasant.

  Maybe the scenery was too beautiful and the current environment made her think that Tom looked handsome.

  Vivi pursed her lips, took the glass from him. She took a sip, and nodded pretentiously. "Hmmm… Delicious, and though the alcohol is a little strong, it's still sweet!"

  When the voice fell, Tom immediately delivered the entire tray in front of her. "I'll give you all!"

  Such behavior was completely instinctive.

  He thought, as long as Vivi liked it, he would give it to her.

  Vivi thanked him and didn't refuse Tom's kindness.

  It was rare for them to be able to relax in a hot spring, and Vivi didn't want to waste time thinking about all kinds of things.

  In this way, Vivi drank Sake from cup after cup, and Tom looked at her.

  The Sake that Vivi drank had a lower alcohol content than usual, it should be intoxicating.

  Vivi drank more than 2 cups, then looked at Tom. "Aren't you going to drink also?"

  Tom shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted the water. "I like strong alcohol, I don't like sweet ones!"

  Vivi nodded clearly, but Tom's handsome face refused to leave her mind.

  The young generation from this big family in Surabaya all seem to be superior.

  As for Tom, who was usually arrogant, it was easy for people to overlook his good looks because of his behavior.

  The atmosphere continued to be silent, and Vivi felt a little embarrassed.

  She put the glass back on the tray and it collided with Tom's eyes. The two almost said at the same time.

  "You……"

  "You……"

  Vivi laughed awkwardly. "What do you want to say?"

  Tom changed his posture, lay on his back by the pool's wall, and asked in a deep voice, "Did your mother often urge you to get married?"

  "Not often!" Vivi was taken aback by his question, but still patiently explained, "Besides, I'm not young anymore. As a parent, she always hoped that I could settle down soon."

  "Have you ever thought about finding a boyfriend?" Tom asked as he slowly raised his head and looked lazily at Vivi.

  After hearing this, Vivi smiled bitterly and sighed anxiously. "It's not easy! I don't have many friends around me. Apart from Lilia, I only have a few close former co-workers, and none of them are married."

  "Actually, it's not that I don't want to, but reality is harsh sometimes, I can't find the right one for me yet. Now I'm busy working, almost every day I just work and come home to sleep. Moreover, most of the men I know are my colleagues in the company. Marriage is not a simple thing, if it is not based on love, in the end, it will all turn into a tragedy! Therefore, I can't rush it!"

  Vivi had a thorough view of marriage.

  She also had the feeling of a young girl who wanted to fall in love and marry her prince, but time was cruel, so she became more aware of how bitter life was.

  If there is no love, how can people talk about marriage!

  Now, how many people are running around for a living every day, their financial circumstances don't even allow them to find a partner in their life.

  She rarely spoke about such a thing to an outsider, but she still did.

  Tom's questions, coupled with a few cups of Sake, gave her the desire to speak.

  In this world, no one likes to live alone!

  But too many people are forced to endure loneliness!

  Her eyes reddened, then she looked at Tom after she stopped talking, and laughed at herself again after a few seconds.

  "Did I say too much? Really, it might be difficult for a young master like you to understand my thoughts since I came from lower classes of society. If I explain something, don't take it too seriously. All of this is just a test of my life!"

  This was the first time Tom had heard a woman's thoughts.

  He doesn't have too many burdens in life thanks to his superior background, this makes him always think that everything he likes can be achieved easily.

  Listening to Vivi's words… he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

  This emotion came so quickly that he was caught off guard.

  When he reacted, he realized that he was already close to Vivi's face.

  On this lonely night, Tom was propping up the wall with one hand, and inches away from Vivi.

  Moreover, his other hand was unconsciously pressed against the woman's cheek.

  The cold night wind gradually brushed against their faces, bringing a hint of coolness to them.

  Tom and Vivi faced each other. The man stared deeply into her clear eyes, his throat rolled slightly, and he lowered his head uncontrollably…


  Then—


  Tom was pushed away by Vivi.

  Her speed and strength caused Tom to fall into the hot pool uncontrollably.

  His leg injury still hadn't healed, and he couldn't stabilize his figure for a while. After trying several times, he couldn't stand up properly.

  Asshole!

  He had to drink a few sips of pool's water because of her!

  Vivi was dumbfounded, only then did she remember the fact that Tom was having a hard time moving.

  Then she hastily pulled him out of the pool, and when she looked closely, Tom's face turned red!

  However, before she could speak, Vivi quickly got out of the hot spring pool, left an apology, and ignored the water dripping down her body as she ran back to the villa.

  At this time, Tom was lying by the pool to catch his breath. He almost thought he would drown in his own villa!

  This damn woman….!……

  Vivi slipped back into the room in her bath towel, locked the door, and sighed heavily.

  Her heartbeat was beating rapidly, and she was filled with an unspeakable feeling, which left her flustered.

  Was Tom trying to kiss her just now?!

  Were the two of them consumed by the atmosphere?!

  Vivi clutched her chest, her eyes flickered, and she was confused!

  She wished she could explain what had been going on in her mind, but certain images constantly refuted her intention.

  To be honest, if she didn't react quickly, maybe they would actually kiss each other.

  What confused Vivi was that she didn't hate Tom's approach!

  It was clear that she was deeply disgusted by the man's dark history when she first met him, but why did she have this kind of feeling today?!

  Vivi was very panicked, she was very afraid that this would mess up the balance she kept inside.

  She and Tom are definitely not the perfect match!
