Chapter 358 - A Perfect Win (2/2)

“Aunt Zhao, I’m going take a shower and get changed. I fell accidentally just now.” Qin Sheng explained casually, and went upstairs to shower, after removing his jacket.

Right after Aunt Zhao closed the door and set about preparing lunch, the doorbell rang again. Thinking that is was Qin Ran, she went back to answer the door.

Nan Gong stood outside the doorway. Aunt Zhao was surprised to see her and asked, “Miss Nan Gong? Why are you here?”

People in Siheyuan were quite familiar with Nan Gong, knowing that she was the Foster Daughter of Qin Chang. They would address her as Miss Nan Gong, or Young Lady, sometimes in private.

Nan Gong asked furiously, “Aunt Zhao, where’s Qin Sheng?”

It was only now that Aunt Zhou noticed that Nan Gong seemed to be as messy as Qin Sheng. Her hair was in a disheveled state and she had mud and water stains all over her face and body. She was confused, “What on earth is happening here?”

“He is taking a shower.” Aunt Zhao answered honestly.

When she heard this, Nan Gong rushed directly upstairs without changing her shoes, and began searching for Qin Sheng, going from one room to another, on the second floor. She finally located him in a guest bedroom, by the sound of running water. She completely lost her mind right now and was determined to kill Qin Sheng in order to vent her anger, or at beat him senseless, if killing was an impractical choice.

So she stomped her way up to the bedroom in a fury, and pulled open the door of the bathroom without thinking. She thought that Qin Sheng was hiding inside intentionally out of cowardice, so she yelled, “Qin Sheng, get the hell out!”

Qin Sheng had expected Nan Gong to break in, so he did not lock the door, in an attempt to embarrass her once again. Yet much to his surprise, Nan Gong really burst in without any consideration, and he did not see that coming.

He was taking a shower for real, rather than hiding from Nan Gong. After all, he was soaked thoroughly from the snow.

Therefore, when Nan Gong dashed in, Qin Sheng had quite a fright. He covered up his private parts and shouted, “Oh, you pervert!”

Nan Gong sobered immediately when she heard this accusation, as she did not expect Qin Sheng to be actually taking a shower. The visual impact of a hunky guy in the shower was so overwhelming that she became flustered. After all, she was just a young virgin who had never seen a naked man before, and totally did not know how to deal with such situation. If she had been a married woman, she would not have fallen into Qin Sheng’s trap.

Nan Gong came around in a blink of an eye. It would be a huge disaster if anyone knew that she had seen his naked body. So she snapped back at Qin Sheng, “What the hell is wrong with you!”

Being the victim of the whole drama, Qin Sheng asked in a deliberately aggrieved tone, “Aren’t you going to avert your eyes?”

Nan Gong ran away as rapidly as her feet could move, even before Qin Sheng finished speaking. She blushed furiously, and left him calling out loudly from behind, “Hey, close that door from outside!”

Of course Nan Gong did not dare to come back and close the door. Qin Sheng did not burst into laughter till he was sure that Nan Gong was gone. Except for those little setbacks in the process, he had won a perfect victory today, so to speak.

Women are women, no matter what, especially the ones like Nan Gong, who were shy and easily embarrassed.

Qin Sheng went leisurely downstairs, dressed in clean clothes after a nice long shower, and much to his surprise, Nan Gong was still in the house, sitting on the couch, eating fresh fruits, watching TV, while chatting with Aunt Zhao.

Qin Sheng paused subconsciously, and Nan Gong rose soon after she spotted him.

Qin Sheng was scared and questioned her, “What do you want?”, guessing that this woman would not stop until she beat the hell out of him.

“How about you telling me?” Nan Gong sneered at him.

Having nowhere to hide, Qin Sheng could not help but grasp Aunt Zhao, like a life-saving straw and called for help, “Aunt Zhao, call my sister, tell her that Nan Gong’s going to kill me.”

Aunt Zhao thought the tit-for-tat between these two youngsters was no more than a drama for kids, so she said with a smile, “Mr. Qin and Miss Nan Gong, quit playing and come for lunch.”

Nan Gong had calmed down already. Knowing that she could not do anything to Qin Sheng in front of Aunt Zhao, but she gave him a ferocious stare, before following her into the dining room.

It was only now that Qin Sheng’s heart was at ease. “What a close call that was. I’d better stay far away from this woman, in case I get burnt.”
