Turning her face away, Shi Yuxuan fanned herself. “It’s so hot. It’s too hot.”

“Bear with it.” Li Beichen frowned even more deeply, his cold and deep eyes sweeping across her face.

Shi Yuxuan did not say anything. She only felt his vision turning dark.

Within minutes, she was sobbing loudly. Almost unconsciously, she stretched her leg out and it landed on his lap.

Li Beichen glanced at her unhappily. With just one glance of his, there was a sense of oppression that one could not hide from.

Shi Yuxuan realized that she had taken a step too far and quickly pulled her leg back.

“Why are we not there yet…” She mumbled to herself as she curled up into a ball and leaned against the corner of the car. To make herself more awake, she pinched her arm a few times with a lot of force. Anyone would feel pain when they saw it, and Li Beichen was no exception.

He lifted his thin lips and looked down at her.

This woman had exceptional self-control.

The Bentley slowly entered Mount Yanlan and arrived at the capital of Huadu.

Li Beichen got out of the car, immediately carried Yuxuan in his arms and walked towards the villa.

In order not to complicate matters, Mother Wu and the five or six teachers who were invited to the villa to teach Shi Yuxuan etiquette were asked to leave.

Only Li Beichen and Yuxuan were in the huge villa.

She felt terrible. Her entire body felt like a furnace, yet she could not break out in a single sweat.

Yuxuan sobbed softly, her voice unclear, but she tried her best to maintain her last vestiges of rationality. “Put me down, I’ll walk by myself.”

If she were to be left alone with the man in front of her again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This woman actually knew her place.

A baleful smile appeared on Li Beichen’s face as he put her down.

However, Yuxuan’s entire body was burning horribly and her legs were unsteady. Inadvertently, she fell onto the floor. While the fall was not painful, it caused her head to buzz.

She felt increasingly dizzy as she asked, “Li Beichen… Where… where is the bathroom?”

Her voice was extremely hoarse.

As she struggled to get up from the ground, she felt that small stars were circling above her head.

Was she really able to go to the bathroom herself in this state?

Li Beichen frowned. Then he simply grabbed her arm and dragged her into the bathroom.

“Splash!” The cold water recklessly washed over Yuxuan’s skin, and the comfort in that moment calmed her down.

She tucked her slightly curled hair behind her ear and raised her head slightly, letting the cold water wash over her skin. Her face was so red and her tightly pursed lips were like cinnabar.

Realizing that he was looking at her, Li Beichen frowned in disgust.

The next moment, he slammed the bathroom door and strode out.

When the door closed with a bang, Shi Yuxuan’s heart trembled. She had never seen a man change his attitude faster than him.

As the cold water washed over her skin, Yuxuan’s anxious body slowly calmed down.

After that, she simply soaked her entire body in the cold bathtub. The feeling of being submerged in water made her feel really refreshed.

3She had to admit that her self-control was commendable.

Li Beichen crossed his long legs and leaned against the sofa. The sound of water splashing in the bathroom clearly reached his ears.

At that moment, he felt extremely frustrated, and he reached out to loosen his tie. As if he was trying to distract himself, he picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Li Nana.

Was she taking the initiative to apologize before he approached her to settle the score with her?
