Chapter 263 - 263: Sleep-Deprived Senior Brother (1/2)

Bedsheets slipped out from her n.a.k.e.d frame. A quiet groan left her throat as the soreness in her body begin to make itself known upon trying to prop herself up. Lillie stared at the man beside him who slept peacefully with a content smile on his face.

She had the sudden urge to pinch his nose, but decided against it and let him sleep while she ventured towards the bathroom to soak her muscle with a warm bath.

Throwing in her favorite essential oil, Lillie dipped herself in, sighing as the warm water uncoiled her muscles.

Her phone then vibrated on the small table beside her. Wiping her hands dry, she look to see what it was.

[Anthony Bai and Ming Ting's relationship publicized!]

It was from the media.

Clicking her tongue, Lillie turned off her phone and sunk herself deeper into the water until her lips touches it. Last night, she dispatched another team of spies to watch over her cousin brother and Ming Ting.

Anthony had mentioned before that they were now living together, which was a good thing because it would make it easier for her spies to observe them in one setting.

Lillie then issued a retreat order to the spies she stationed at the Wei family's estate. Premonition churned her guts, telling her that she need to let the matter cool down before going back.

Those captured Azure Tortoise assassins might've caused the Wei family to be on guard, and thus, they might start searching deeper into the shadows for any lurking intruders.

If Wei Fang was really from the Underworld, then he's someone who held power to subdue even Azure Tortoise's people.

”Don't fall asleep.” Ethan appeared from behind and wrapped his arms around her torso, pulling her up from sinking any further.

”I wasn't,” Lillie denied, scooting forward to give him space in the bathtub. ”there's just something on my mind.”

He hummed, joining his wife in the warm water. Ethan positioned himself behind her in the bathtub and slid her between his legs, his strong arms coiling around her waist. He nuzzled her neck, inhaling the sweet scent of the essential oil on her skin.

Lillie relaxed her back against his chest, not minding his intrusion as long as he keeps his playfulness at bay.

Unfortunately, with an irresistible treat like her in his arms, resisting the desire to have a taste, had been difficult.

Her already fl.u.s.tered skin turned a darken shade of red when she felt something harden on her tailbone. ”Didn't we just...”

”You expect me to be calm in front of such enticing sight?” His eyebrow shot upward as if he heard something ridiculous. ”Impossible.”

”Well, you aren't having any.” Lillie said firmly. If this continues, then her legs might give up. He wasn't kidding when he said he'll punish her; gnawing her mercilessly like a beast eating a delicious piece of meat.

”As tempting it is to eat you this early, I wouldn't want to tire you out at a busy day.” Ethan sighed defeatedly, his neck touching the cold, marble tub.

”Shall I remind you that you still need to train? I finally had Senior Brother to give us his assistance.” She said.

Ethan's throat created a short grunt, not entirely pleased. ”What did you bribe him with this time?”

”Not a bribe, it's a formal negotiation.” She corrected.

”I find that hard to believe.”

For Lillie to not send hell at him for eating all of her sweet and turning her living room into a garbage pit, Death agreed that he will see to Ethan's training.
