Chapter 98

Qin Lao laughed: "Not marrying means there isn't anyone he truly likes."

"If he lets Xia Xia down, he's truly blind," Qiao Nainai huffed.

"No one can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart; it's all up to the young people, and we can't interfere even if we want to," Qin Lao saw it clearly.

When one is young, whether or not one likes someone depends entirely on personal preference.

Qiao Nainai sighed, "Sending Xia Xia to him is all I can do; as for the rest, it depends on him."

In fact, she could see that the two young people only came together because of her, and there was actually no affection between them.

This was what worried her the most.

——

Just as Shu Xia walked out of the main gate, she saw Qiao Muting's car.

The car windows were rolled all the way down, and Qiao Muting was sitting in the back seat, his bottomless eyes looking toward her.

Shu Xia's heart skipped a beat from that look of his.

Could it be that he had misunderstood her again?

Thinking that she was the one who asked Qiao Nainai to call him, and then made them go stay at the Hot Spring Villa?

Qiao Muting got out of the car and opened the door, "Get in first, it's still a twenty-minute drive to the Hot Spring Villa from here."

"Okay, thank you," Shu Xia sat inside.

The two sat side by side, each on one end, with a large empty space in between.

At this distance, both had their own space.

Inside the car, neither of them said anything.

They arrived at the Hot Spring Villa very quickly.

Qiao Muting took Shu Xia to the villa's restaurant, and after the two finished dinner, they stayed in a villa that had a private hot spring pool inside.

Just after entering the villa, Qiao Nainai's call came through.

"Have you two soaked in the hot spring yet? I had someone send clothes over for you; hurry up and go soak. You've been tired all day, soaking in the hot spring before bed will definitely be very comfortable."

"Remember to take photos for me."

Qiao Muting had it on speakerphone, so Shu Xia could hear everything Qiao Nainai said clearly.

Just as Qiao Muting hung up the phone, the doorbell rang.

He went to open the door, and then he had two bags in his hands.

The bags were pink and blue; one could tell at a glance which bag belonged to Shu Xia and which one belonged to him.

He handed the pink bag to Shu Xia, "Go change."

Shu Xia took the pink bag, "Okay."

They each returned to their rooms.

It was fortunate that they were staying in a villa with many rooms, so they didn't have to stay in the same room, and changing clothes was more casual.

However, thinking about soaking in the hot spring with Qiao Muting, Shu Xia always felt a bit awkward.

After putting on the swimsuit Qiao Nainai had prepared, she stood in front of the mirror, hesitating whether to walk out.

It wasn't that the clothes didn't fit; it was that they fit too well!

Her body's curves seemed to be even more accentuated, looking even more shapely.

She had never worn anything so sexy before, let alone appearing in front of Qiao Muting dressed like this.

Unfortunately, there were no other swimsuits to change into.

After only a moment of hesitation, Shu Xia decided there was nothing to be awkward about.

Whatever she wore, as long as she appreciated it herself and was happy, that was enough; even if she were to stand naked in front of Qiao Muting, he wouldn't spare her a second glance, so what did she have to fret about?

Besides, she also wanted to soak in the hot spring to relax.

The hot spring pool was not very large, capable of holding about seven or eight people.
