Chapter 747 - Not the first time (1/2)

As the sky darkened into the night, stars awoke from their slumber to join the moon. Inside the shared bedroom of Yue Ling and Lu Tian, the retired model stood in front of the bathroom door. She had changed out of her clothes and was wearing a simple white robe. Her long dark hair flows down her shoulders to her back and she stares at the slightly ajar door.

She struggles with a hard gulp and raises a hand to open the door. However, the moment her palm touched the doorknob, she doesn't turn it but remained in a place like a statue.

”How did it turn out like this?”

Her words fell in a murmur as she didn't dare to take another step from her position.

After Lu Tian carried her up the stairs, he placed her down in her closet room. He told her to wait while he prepares the warm bath for her.

And like an obedient child, she did as she was told.

When the bath was ready, he came back to let her know and left after telling her to come in when she is ready.

She could only nod her head without a word and watched him leave before getting undress.

However, now that she is standing in front of the bathroom with only a robe on, she was regretting the idea of informing him about wanting to take a warm bath.

”Why did I have to say it for him to hear?”

Her shoulders tremble as she sobs, but there were no tears for her shed. She raises one hand and clutch the front of her robe and inhales a deep breath. At the same time, she could feel the pounding of her heart like can explode in any second.

She was indeed nervous as this was her first time doing this. All the other times, it was Lu Tian who would ninja his way inside while she was bathing or showering.

Only, this time, it was her turn to be the ninja.

She inhales another deep breath and pushes the door open as she tries to coax herself.

”You got this, Yue Ling. This is not the first time you bathe with him.”

Her movements were careful and slow like she was a burglar sneaking into the home of a rich man.

As she entered the bathroom, she closes the door and made sure not to make a single sound. She was afraid that the aloof man inside would suddenly turn around and shatter all the courage she had gathered.

She stretches her neck forward and looks around the steamy room until she spotted Lu Tian.

He was already sitting inside the bathtub with both his arms resting on the rims. However, seeing that his back was turned to her, Yue Ling sighs in relief.

She lightly pats her chest as if to soothe her pounding heartbeat.

”Do you plan to stand there and enjoy the view only?”

”…”

Lu Tian's deep voice suddenly sounds from ahead and made Yue Ling flinch in surprise. She looks back at him and sighs in relief again when she saw that he still had not turned around.

However, what she did not know is that Lu Tian had long heard her footsteps.

He was aware that she had stopped outside the bathroom and was contemplating whether to enter or not. He wanted to go out and tell her to come in but decided to wait and see what she will do.
