Chapter 282: Let Me Apply Body Lotion for You

Is this a tease?

Probably, maybe, perhaps… yes?

Xu Mo's wet‑hair style is so handsome it's almost cheating.

And on top of that, Xu Mo is wearing a bathrobe— even more cheating…

So Yang Jingxuan gets more and more turned on the longer she looks.

She even gets the urge to force herself on him.

"I just got off work, been busy all day and exhausted, thanks for the fruit you sent," Xu Mo smiled as he took the fruit salad that Yang Jingxuan had brought him.

After the polite exchange, he casually placed his hand on the door handle.

He thought he'd close the door once Yang Jingxuan left.

But Yang Jingxuan had no intention of leaving at all.

She not only didn't want to go, she wanted to find a chance to get in!

"I walked all this way to bring you fruit, I'm a bit thirsty—let me come in and have a drink," Yang Jingxuan said excitedly, rubbing her small hands.

She doesn't dare to force herself, but she has the nerve to linger and keep looking a few more times!

"Aren't you living in the villa next door? It's only a few steps away!" Xu Mo's face was full of confusion as he pointed with his finger at the distance between the neighboring villa and his own: "Is… far?"

"Far!" she said, giggling, and slipped through the door from under Xu Mo's armpit.

She walked to the coffee table, casually grabbed a bottle of water, and glug‑glug drank it down.

She kept drinking while staring at Xu Mo.

She wasn't lying; she really was a bit thirsty.

Mainly because Xu Mo had just finished his shower, and after seeing him she felt her mouth dry.

"Did you just finish showering?" Yang Jingxuan asked.

"Yeah, just finished."

"After a shower you should apply body lotion, otherwise your skin gets all dry. It must be inconvenient for you to do it alone—how about I apply the lotion for you?"

Xu Mo: "???"

What kind of lewd talk is that?

What the heck is 'helping with body lotion'?

Putting something on the body… isn't that basically an oil massage?

"Never mind, I don't have a habit of using body lotion," Xu Mo politely declined.

"After a busy day, aren't you tired? Let me massage your muscles to relax you," Yang Jingxuan continued.

Massage muscles?

For a moment, Xu Mo couldn't figure out which "chicken" Yang Jingxuan meant, nor what exact massage method.

Just then.

Yang Jingxuan's phone rang.

She pulled out her phone and saw a video call from her mother.

"Oh no, my mom's calling!" Yang Jingxuan was initially a bit flustered, but as soon as she saw Xu Mo standing opposite her, she instantly calmed down.

What's there to be afraid of?

Xu Mo was right there beside her.

It's just a video call; it can be easily faked.

"My mom called me on video; can you help me out?"

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Mo's answer, she cheerfully dragged him onto the sofa, then seized the chance to slip into his arms, deliberately messed up her hair, pulled her clothing a bit off her shoulders, and then answered the video call.

"Hello, Mom, why are you calling so late?"

"Why did it take you so long to pick up… Xiao Xu is also here! Are you… busy? Then I won't disturb, you two get on with it, haha, get on with it! I'll call another day!"

She said that and, without waiting for Xu Mo or Yang Jingxuan to reply, hung up directly.

Originally, Yang Jingxuan's mother just wanted to video chat to see her daughter.

But once the video connected, she saw her daughter curled up in Xu Mo's arms, still in his bathrobe, hair a mess, clothes disheveled.

Clearly… she had been busy crafting a little figurine earlier.

She's been through it, what doesn't she understand?

Yang's mother was very pleased, thinking to herself that her daughter finally had an epiphany!

Crouched in Xu Mo's arms, Yang Jingxuan was a bit excited, her little face flushed, her big eyes blinking at Xu Mo.

What Xu Mo didn't know was that...

At this moment, countless little deer were racing wildly in Yang Jingxuan's heart.

They were about to make her dizzy.

Is this what a fluttering heart feels like?

Xu Mo is perhaps a bit too handsome today…

"If you keep writhing in my arms, I won't be so polite," Xu Mo said, staring at Yang Jingxuan.

Under normal circumstances, he's a decent person.

He can hold himself together.

But the current situation is clearly abnormal.

Yang Jingxuan writhing in his arms—what man could stand that?

"Then you won't be polite!" Yang Jingxuan's mouth curved slightly upward, her tone seemingly a bit expectant.

After speaking, she closed her eyes and slowly lifted her chin.

In the next instant, she didn't even wait for Xu Mo to act.

Yang Jingxuan suddenly opened her eyes again.

"No, I got my period today… can't today."

Xu Mo: "???".

He was numb.

Is there even that?

"Hehe, I just forgot about this and only just remembered…," Yang Jingxuan scratched her head.

Then she slipped out of Xu Mo's embrace.

She left the villa dejectedly and returned to the neighboring house.

Little did she know, her actions had already been captured by a scheming person.

Inside a nanny car parked outside the villa, a paparazzo was hidden.

He stared at the video just captured on the camera with an excited expression, his face full of excitement.

"This is big news! Yang Jingxuan sneaking in and out of some man's house at midnight… got rich, got rich!"

At this point, Yang Jingxuan was at least considered a star.

Because of this episode of Sky Eye Operation, she attracted many fans.

Her news could be sold for money.

So this paparazzo often lurked here to film.

Before this, what he filmed was only some useless stuff.

He didn't expect to capture a huge scandal today!

Just the part of Yang Jingxuan entering the door could be sold for a good amount of money.

The money spent bribing the villa's security to let him in wasn't wasted.

At least it was worth the price of the ticket!

……

The next day.

A news item topped the trending searches.

"A certain popular variety‑show female star entered a mysterious man in a bathrobe's house at midnight!"

In the comment section under the trending search, it was filled with Onlookers.

"Isn't that Yang Jingxuan and Xu Mo?"

"Whoa, did they get together?"

"Does Xu Mo now live in a villa? Where's the ordinary office worker we were promised??"

"Living in a villa to chase stars, Xu Mo, you betrayed us office workers!"

"This villa looks familiar… seems like where I live?"

"My home is also here! Xu Mo actually lives in the same villa district as me?"

"..."

Because of this trending search.

Early in the morning, a crowd gathered at the gate of Xu Mo's villa.

These were all residents of the complex; they had all watched the program, were Xu Mo's fans, and came to get photos and autographs.

7:30 am.

Xu Mo was woken up by the sound outside the window.

He pulled back the curtain and was stunned.

What the heck???
