Tang Yizhou did the same thing, intruding in the shared bath and scooting closer to Xu Jiaqi's side to stick to her. He latched his hand over Xu Jiaqi's shoulder boldly, tugging to pull her closer to him.

Xu Jiaqi giggled at the man's obvious desire, and leaned her back against his sturdy chest, folding her legs to the side and letting her long hair flow into the clean water.

"How relaxing. Tang Yizhou, would you do me a favor and massage my shoulders?" Xu Jiaqi swept all of her hair to one side, fully exposing her lithe back to the man's sight.

Tang Yizhou licked his lips unconsciously, as the sight before him was akin to a dessert waiting to be eaten up.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure to do so." Tang Yizhou replied, placing his hands on the woman's shoulders and carefully nudging on the right spots. He started with low pressure, afraid that Xu Jiaqi would feel too much pain. He wasn't aware of the extent of his power, so he feared hurting her.

It wasn't until Xu Jiaqi told him to apply more strength that he actually began to rub her flesh and draw out some sounds from the other person. Her stiff body from working, added on to the increased comfortability of the hot bath, made it all so perfect for her.

A heaven on Earth.

It was truly the peak of luxury. The suite utilized the best technology advancements, and the price point for the property was naturally extremely high.

Getting to enjoy this kind of thing, Xu Jiaqi was once again reminded of her love for power and money.

Xu Jiaqi smirked, treating the whole scenario as a spa that was exclusively held for her. The perfect man was right beside her, taking part in the experience.

There was a speaker installed into the bath compartment area, and the controls were right in their arm's reach. An array of song selections, ready for them to pick one out of the many tracks to play through the speaker. A gentle melody flowed into their ears, acting as the perfect background music just enough to not make it awkward between the two of them.

Sitting together, dipping their bodies inside the bath. Most of the time, they did not speak, and instead let the soft music be the only content for their ears to enjoy. Silence was bound to be excruciating for others, but for the two of them, the serenity of everything just made it even better.

There was no need for words to be spoken, just being with each other was enough.

After spending some considerable time enjoying the relaxing bath, they got out and changed into nightwear. Though she was still underage, only a few hours from escaping the category, there was nothing that could prevent Xu Jiaqi from taking out bottles of alcoholic beverage that the suite provided for them, ready to be drunk up.

Even though Tang Yizhou wanted to refuse at first, who could possibly bear to reject Xu Jiaqi once she set her mind on doing something?

Thus, they drank. In fact, this wasn't the first time they had drank together like this. Prior to this, Xu Jiaqi had once again coaxed him to indulge in her drinking habits. 

But that time was different. 

Today, the scene carried a different tone to it. The tension that loomed over the room couldn't be described into words.

______

The clock hit midnight. A sign for Xu Jiaqi's age rounding up to exactly eighteen. 

The affairs that happened between them was indeed immoral by the laws of others, but both of them didn't question such things in the slightest, rather choosing to just follow their thoughts and choices.

Tang Yizhou had prepared a well made surprise beforehand. It was nice and simple, just as the other party wanted. If he was allowed to, he would've wanted to make a whole banquet to celebrate her coming of age because that was just how precious he saw her in his eyes. 

She deserved it all, the treasure to mankind that fell into his hands out of sheer luck. 

"Happy birthday, Qiqi." Tang Yizhou held Xu Jiaqi in his embrace tightly, savoring the moment that would become unforgettable for the two of them.

Xu Jiaqi's rise to becoming an adult, and what that would entail for the two of them and also their plans towards the future. Particularly when they talked about the villains that implicated Xu Jiaqi. 

When Tang Yizhou became enraged at the information he had found about those parties, Xu Jiaqi consoled and calmed him down, saying that everything would come to light eventually. The time span she gave, after calculating it, was a month from her eighteenth birthday. 

Who knew what the woman planned? She did not tell him about it, nor was he going to press her about the matter. He knew that it was part of her privacy, a tragedy that concerned her happiness and wellbeing. The ultimate choice should be given to her and nobody else, thus he didn't plan to interrupt her choice. 

Even so, he couldn't help but feel angered. By now, Song Ziyi, Zhao Xinran's boyfriend, was also a villain in his eyes. How he treated Xu Jiaqi that day, he saw it all. Tang Yizhou realized that Xu Jiaqi did not comment about Song Ziyi in the slightest, as if he wasn't part of her plans at all. 

From that point on, he began to cause trouble for the rash young master, making sure that his family connections would be hindered and thing wouldn't end up very well for them. It was the only thing that he could do- the bare minimum that Xu Jiaqi accepted. 

Now that she was an adult, he wanted to see her plunge the villains into the pits of hell. Exacting her revenge, a well deserved comeback to those poisonous folks. 

"En. Thank you." Xu Jiaqi sighed in bliss as she downed a shot of strong alcohol. A red flush was already present on her face from the alcoholic content she took in, but it didn't matter for her. 

It was a shame that this body's alcohol tolerance was not as great as she wanted it to be. The drinks were a delicacy that would be a shame to skip over. 

However, all of that said and done.. The time had come. 

Tang Yizhou should have noticed the change in tone as well. Wasn't this the promised day? The day that they would finally be able to.. lift up the ban that they posed to themselves. 

Xu Jiaqi stretched out her claws, preparing to dig them into the feast that was Tang Yizhou. 

She stood up from her sitting position, coming over to Tang Yizhou and carefully taking away his own wine glass, placing it gently on the table they sat by. 

Her long fingers dragged themselves against his skin, her face closing up on the man's neck and leaving playful bites that would soon develop into marks the next time the man looked at a mirror. 

"The one and only present for my birthday.. It's time to open up the gift, hn?" Xu Jiaqi narrowed her eyes, one hand placed on the man's chin, the other reaching to the nether region. 

Releasing the loose ties of their night robes, Tang Yizhou's peerless body was revealed. Replicating the event, Xu Jiaqi took off her clothes as well, making it the second time that they had stripped down like this in just a few hours. 

This time, however, things would escalate further than just an innocent, happy bath bonding session. 

Xu Jiaqi pressed her soft body against his own, widening up her legs in order to allow access to movement. The sofa they were sitting at was made from a particularly smooth material, wide enough for them to maneuver around with their movements. 

The cold breeze of air hit Tang Yizhou's manhood. The little guy had been rising from the moment this entire scene began, because he fully knew what was about to happen. His breath hitched as he felt her fingers wrap around the delicate organ and pump it up and down gently. 

"Do you remember when I said that I was dangerous from the moment we first met?" Xu Jiaqi laughed, her voice sounding like a gentle chime of bells. "I'm going to show you why."

"Qiqi, no matter how dangerous you are.. I'm willing to go through it all." Tang Yizhou held Xu Jiaqi's arms tightly. "I will accept every single inch of you.. I'm yours to have, dear." 

If the past Tang Yizhou was told by someone that he would be speaking these cheesy lines in the near future, he would probably jump in disbelief and claim bullshit. But right now, in this pristine, private moment, Tang Yizhou's mind was filled with Xu Jiaqi and her presence alone.

Never once had he thought that he would one day experience these kinds of emotions, but he did.

A clear obsession tracing a path in his life that he would never be able to turn back from.
