Ye Xingguang was enraged. “How are you still shameless enough to say that? If you hadn’t suddenly shouted, would I have been so startled that I couldn’t hold the cup steadily?”

She wanted to get up and go back to her room to apply a cold towel on the scalded areas, but Ye Junqing pressed her down. “Sit down. Don’t move!”

“What do you want?”

“I asked you to sit down and not move, so just sit still. Why are you asking so many questions!”

Ye Junqing scolded her fiercely, turning around to look for the burn ointment on the table in the living room. The man, who rummaged through two drawers and found the burn ointment, saw Ye Xingguang standing up as soon as he turned around and he gave her a cold, threatening look. “Don’t you dare move again.”

Ye Xingguang: “…”

When she saw the man walking over with the ointment, she shut her mouth in time and reached out her hand. “Thank you.”

Ye Junqing glanced at her, but he didn’t give her the ointment. Instead, he opened the lid, as if he wanted to apply the ointment for her.

Ye Xingguang was embarrassed. The scalded areas were on her thighs and she found it a little embarrassing. She said awkwardly, “I’ll do it myself.”

“You can’t even hold a cup of water steadily. What can you do properly?” Ye Junqing didn’t give her a chance to do it herself. Seeing that her skin was red, he felt displeased and annoyed.

When the ointment was applied to the scalded areas, it felt cool.

Ye Xingguang told herself to forgive the man’s annoyed tone for the time being.

Although the man’s expression looked very sullen in the light, his facial features were too beatiful. She couldn’t help but be mesmerized by him. Even though he sounded rude, he immediately found the ointment for her and even meticulously applied it for her. It was quite remarkable.

After confirming that he had applied ointment on all the scalded areas, Ye Junqing’s expression finally eased.

When he looked up and realized that the woman was looking at him, his eyes turned cold. “What are you looking at?”

Ye Xingguang collected herself. “Thank you.”

Ye Junqing suddenly froze. She had never thanked him no matter how well he treated her in the past. And now, he had only applied some ointment for her. Why did she have to thank him?

Ye Junqing was probably not quite used to it. He stood up and said with a cold expression, “I didn’t do it for you! Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

“Then why did you do it?”

Ye Junqing said coldly, “In case the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau say that I’m abusing you when they come for a home visit!”

Ye Xingguang: “…”

As if he was afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, Ye Junqing said with a cold voice again, “Why aren’t you going upstairs? Why are you still sitting here? Didn’t I tell you that you have to take the initiative to avoid me when you see me?”

“…” This man is really…

Ye Xingguang went upstairs and returned to her room. She immediately locked the door, climbed into bed, and covered herself with the blanket, going to sleep.

However, Ye Junqing sat in the living room for a long time, deep in thought while feeling annoyed. When he went upstairs, he wanted to push open the door to his bedroom but felt that there was resistance. He grabbed the door handle and pushed it hard twice as he frowned slightly. It was locked?

Who was inside?

…

The next morning, when Ye Xingguang woke up naturally, she subconsciously wanted to grab the pillow on the bed. However, after looking for it for a long time… Where was the big pillow that was usually placed on the bed?

She yawned as she searched for it. Then, she was dumbfounded!

There seemed to be something wrong with this room?

She remembered that the design in her bedroom was more feminine and gentle, but there was nothing gentle about this room. The furnishings were all revealing the masculinity of men, and the only thing that was gentle was the ceiling of the bedroom.

The ceiling of this bedroom was exactly the same as the ceiling of the mermaid swimming pool. The effect during the day was slightly worse. Lying in bed and looking at the ceiling at night, one would definitely be able to drift off in the starlight…

However, before Ye Xingguang had time to admire it, her head had already exploded. This… wasn’t her room?

Whose room was that?
