Ten minutes later, Fan Shixin entered with a small saw and An Xiaoning's luggage in hand.
The chains on her ankles were severed by the saw and she could finally move about freely again.
An Xiaoning stretched her aching legs and could not quite get used to being able to move them freely.
She squatted down in front of the luggage and took out her mobile phone and charger, after which she immediately put her phone to charge.
"I'm going to take a shower. You're not allowed to come in, " she ordered.
She then rummaged through her luggage to find her pajamas, only to discover that Gu Beicheng did not pack any pajamas into her bag at all. However, she figured that he could only fit her outerwear and garments into the suitcase, which was rather small.
"Alright."
"Do you have any pajamas here?" she asked.
It was extremely comfortable to sleep in long-sleeved clothing during the freezing winter.
Yet, Jin Qingyan deciphered her words differently and got the wrong idea.
"There's one in the bathroom, " he answered.
She did not quite believe him and walked toward the bathroom. She entered to discover that there were two matching toothbrushes, two towels, two bathrobes, and two matching pajamas.
He had sneakily prepared those items.
She then locked the bathroom door from the inside and began showering.
She wouldn't have realized what was hidden in the pajamas if she had not taken a closer look at it.
Although it seemed like a set of pajamas that consisted of a long-sleeved top and pants, it was, in reality, a long-sleeved night dress.
What an ingenious way of hanging the pajamas.
Unfortunately for her, she had forgotten to bring her undergarments in.
She then took a look at the underwear she had placed on the basin earlier to see that it had already been hand-washed.
She had no choice but to put on the pajamas before going out to take her undergarment.
She dried her hair in the bathroom before exiting.
An Xiaoning exited the bathroom with the washed underwear in hand and proceeded to hang it on the clothes rack on the balcony.
It was freezing cold outside and she hurriedly scurried back in, after which she closed the balcony door.
When she squatted beside her luggage to search for her undergarments, she abruptly discovered that they had gone missing, even though she had just seen them earlier!
They just vanished without a trace!
An Xiaoning knew for sure that Jin Qingyan was the one behind it.
She stood up and stared at Jin Qingyan, who was sipping on some liquor."Where are my undergarments?"
"How would I know? Didn't you bring any?" he asked with a look of innocence.
"Of course I did. They were just in my luggage earlier, yet they had gone missing all of a sudden. Did you hide them while I was in the shower?"
"Do you take me for a thief? I really didn't see it, " he denied vehemently.
"Drop the act, " she chastised.
Jin Qingyan chuckled in high spirits. He placed the goblet onto the table and said, "You can't even tell that I was just teasing you. Yes, I did hide your undergarments. Do you know why I did that?"
"Because you're sick in the head. I know what you're thinking without having to rack my brains."
Jin Qingyan stood up leisurely and undressed himself, as if she wasn't talking about him at all.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking my clothes off. Isn't that obvious? Must you really ask?" he gibed, batting an eyelid at her.
"You said you wouldn't compel me without my permission."
He nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, I did say that and I'll keep to my word. Rest assured, Madam. I won't touch you at all without your consent."
Still, I'd do what I can to seduce you!
At all costs!
Which woman in this world could enjoy such meticulous treatment from him?
She was the only one.
An Xiaoning stood rooted to the ground and watched as Jin Qingyan stripped down to nothing.
He then began pacing back and forth in front of her.
Being a thirty-year-old woman who had long since matured, An Xiaoning could not help but feel a little enticed by him. Should this go on, it was only a matter of time before things go out of hand!
He was indeed not compelling her. However, he was continuously trying to seduce her!
"Jin Qingyan, I think it's better that I move to the guest room."
"Is your willpower really that weak? Or are you afraid that you'd lose control of your hormones and pounce on me one day?" he teased with a smirk, which caused his dimples to show clearly.
"Who has weak willpower? I really don't know what we are now. If you didn't save my life, I wouldn't have allowed you to come so near me, " she said, crawling onto the bed.
In other words, she only agreed to move in with him because he had risked everything to rescue her.
She wondered if she was warning him or comforting him.
"The decision lies in your hands. You call the shots. You can consider yourself my wife or Yiheng's mother. I'd be willing, even if you only see us as friends with benefits."
"You... what do you take me for!?!" An Xiaoning snapped.
"You may take me for anything. I'm willing to accept any role. Well, I'm just sparing a thought for you. Don't you find it glorious to be friends with benefits with me? I'm wealthy, authoritative, clean, and I last long in bed. I'm such a dreamboat. You won't be taking a loss."
An Xiaoning immediately blushed red with shyness upon hearing his enticing words. She could not help but recall the revelry they had one night, wherein they both went all out in bed. It felt as if it took place only yesterday. This shameless scoundrel! she thought to herself.
She flipped to her side and said, "I didn't sleep well on the plane. I'm turning in now. Don't disturb me."
His hormones began raging as he watched her turn over. He could only look at but not touch her. What a terrible feeling it was!
He could not hold himself back at all.
He was a normal man who had sexual desires. Yet, he'd remained chaste for months, all for her sake!
He only got to kiss her on the plane. That was barely enough!
Jin Qingyan could not resist his urges and began moving his hands toward her. He tried hard to hold himself back with all his might, to no avail.
Jin Qingyan moved closer toward her and placed his arm below her head forcefully.
An Xiaoning turned around and chided, "Are you going back on your word now?"
Jin Qingyan embraced her tightly from behind and said, "Xiaoning, I can't seem to control myself..."
Upon sensing his warm, bare chest against her back, An Xiaoning's body stiffened; she was unable to keep her cool.
"Are you really going to go back on your word, then?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Qingyan moved his body away from her.
An Xiaoning smiled and closed her eyes.
The sky began to brighten gradually.
Jin Qingyan could not fall asleep at all and thus took the time to ponder over how he could satisfy his desires while at the same time appear to be keeping his promise...
After much thought, he put on his clothes and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Fan Shixin was in the midst of his morning jog when he chanced upon the shocking sight of Jin Qingyan. He ran toward him and asked, "Young Sir, you went through painstaking means to bring Young Madam home and yet you came out here early in the morning. Are you silly? You should be getting down to business in the room now. Aren't you missing out on a great chance by coming out here?"
