Chapter 602

Qiao Muting felt guilty.

His gaze landed on Shu Xia.

Seeing her current appearance, which was somewhat enchanting and delicate, scenes from last night suddenly flashed before his eyes.

He couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart.

His throat bobbed.

His pupils deepened accordingly.

Relying on his height advantage, he walked up to Shu Xia in a few strides and lowered his head to kiss the angry woman.

Shu Xia was caught off guard; she hadn't expected Qiao Muting to kiss her without a word.

Just as Qiao Muting's hand, which was pinching her waist, was about to move lower, she grabbed his hand fiercely.

"Qiao Muting, can you control yourself?!"

The corners of Shu Xia's eyes were slightly red; she was truly afraid of this man. After he had her so many times last night, how could he still have the urge now?

Isn't he tired?

Her legs were still sore.

Qiao Muting kissed the red corner of her eye. "Don't think too much; it's just that the way you looked at me just now was truly bewitching, and I didn't want to let you down."

"You! Think! Too! Much!" Shu Xia's mouth twitched violently.

How had she never noticed before that he was so good at twisting the truth?

That was an accusation, not an invitation!

Men, hah!

"This month, don't even think about touching me again." Shu Xia was furious. She was so angry! Not only could she not go to work today, but she might not be able to go tomorrow either.

The marks on her neck were too obvious.

Qiao Muting's thin lips curled slightly, and he laughed out loud. "If you can't go out, then shall we have hot pot at the hotel?"

"I'm full of anger, I'm not hungry." Shu Xia returned to the bed, fuming.

Qiao Muting's cold, stern eyes were filled with doting light. "Then I'll change it to Western food."

Shu Xia shot him a cold glare.

It was as if she were saying, "Just try changing it to Western food and see what happens."

Qiao Muting suppressed a laugh and made a call. "Sichuan hot pot, send over every dish."

Hearing that Qiao Muting had ordered hot pot over the phone, the fire in Shu Xia's eyes diminished by half.

Shu Xuan was busy until five in the morning before going to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already eleven in the morning; the company had given him the day off.

After showering, he made breakfast.

While eating breakfast, he glanced at his phone.

There were several missed calls on his phone, all from Shen Anran.

She had called several times in a row; could something have happened to Anran?

This had never happened before.

He couldn't be bothered to finish his breakfast and immediately called back.

After only a few rings, Shen Anran answered the phone.

"Shu Xuan..."

Shen Anran's voice sounded as if she had been crying; it was tearful and even carried a sense of aggrieved helplessness.

Shu Xuan's heart tightened. "Anran, don't worry, did something happen? Tell me slowly; I'm right here and can help you figure out a solution together."

Shen Anran's originally panicked heart miraculously calmed down after hearing Shu Xuan's words, and even through the phone, she couldn't stop her tears from falling.

"Let's meet and talk; it's hard to explain over the phone. Can you ask for leave from your company today?"

Shu Xuan's tone was gentle. "I was busy until five this morning, and the company gave me the day off today. I'll come to find you."

"No... I'll come to find you." Shen Anran's tone was somewhat urgent.

Shu Xuan was a bit surprised, vaguely sensing that something very important must have happened.

He could feel through the phone that Anran was in a bad state.

He was very worried about her.

After about forty minutes, Shen Anran appeared before Shu Xuan.
