Chapter 1356: Bathroom

Jiang Yu felt guilty. He pulled her into the car, found a box of napkins and gave it to her. “Wipe with this.”

He rolled the windows up, afraid that she would catch a cold.

Xia Yingluo used a pack of napkins to wipe off the water stains on her body. She didn’t know what was added in the water, but it was sticky. Her hair was knotted, and her skin was very uncomfortable. She told Jiang Yu, “Find a hotel for me to go to. I’ll take care of it and go home.”

She didn’t want to go back like this and worry her family.

Jiang Yu glanced at her sideways. “Hotel? You and I are both stars, how could you open a room without your agent?” She would probably cause a huge stampede if she walked into the hotel lobby. “How about you come to my house first, I’ll buy you a set of new clothes.”

Xia Yingluo didn’t want to bother him too much and hesitated a little.

Jiang Yu seemed to read her mind and said, “It’s because of me that my fans messed with you. It’s normal for me to take responsibility.” That fan was probably angry that she was with him and yet still messed around with other men outside, and was even photographed kissing Wei Lingnan. Even if it wasn’t her fault, she still couldn’t explain it to the fan.

She looked up, and in the quiet car, the dim light of street lights streamed in.

She looked at Jiang Yu and asked softly, “Why are you so good to me?”

“I like you.” Jiang Yu replied softly while driving, “so I want to take care of you.”

Her eyelashes drooped and a faint shadow swept under her eyelids. “You don’t have to do this,” she said, “You know we’re just acting. Those scandals aren’t true.”

Jiang Yu said, “It’s okay, I’m willing to accompany you. I don’t need you to return anything.”

Being with her and guarding her made him very happy. Even if he knew there was another person in her heart, so what? Feelings were like a marathon race. Looking at the current situation, Wei Lingnan would be out sooner or later, and he was going to accompany her until the end.

He drove the Lamborghini steadily towards his apartment.

He had several properties in this city and had taken Xia Yingluo to a hidden high-end apartment with a quiet environment and no paparazzi. The two got out of the underground garage and quickly got on the elevator. They entered the apartment on the twenty-seventh floor.

Jiang Yu turned on the light.

Warm and bright light flooded the room.

Although he lived alone, it was very clean here. In the middle was a set of soft and large leather sofas. The floor was covered with fluffy mats.

Xia Yingluo said, “I didn’t know you were such a homely person.”

He chuckled. “Sit anywhere, take a rest. I’ll fill the bathtub for you.”

She quickly said, “How could I trouble you, let me do it myself. Where is the guest room?”

He didn’t want to force her, so he pointed her in the direction of the guest room and took out a set of men’s bathrobes. He said a little apologetically, “I usually have no guests here, so I didn’t prepare any guests’ clothes. I only have my own. But it’s very clean. If you don’t mind, you can wear it first. I’ll get my assistant to bring a set of female clothing here.”

She didn’t mind now that she was outside.

During Xia Yingluo’s bloody battle in her previous life, all the clothes on her body had been cut off and worn out. She was raised without any strictness and had mixed around with people of all trades all her life, so she wasn’t as coquettish as other girls. She took Jiang Yu’s bathrobe, thanked him, and walked into the bathroom in her room.

Jiang Yu looked at her back and smiled softly. He called and asked his assistant to send women’s clothing.

The bathroom was warm.

Xia Yingluo took off her sticky clothes and dipped her beautiful and slender body into the bathtub. These days, maybe because she was impregnated with the World Tree, she had lost a lot of weight. Her skin was pale and was even a faint unhealthy blue. Her ribs and veins were clear and looked a little shocking.

She frowned and slowly washed herself with water, wondering if the speed of replenishing energy would fasten.

In the palm of her hand, the gold-green mark hadn’t changed. Even if Wei Lingnan had filled her with so much energy last time, it was just to keep her from exhaustion. It hadn’t grown at all. Xia Yingluo knew that the World Tree would need more energy to grow in the later stages, but she didn’t know how she was going to obtain the energy then.

She frowned while thinking about the problem. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the reflection of the white tiles across her.

“Who are you?!” She was startled and turned suddenly.

In the steamy bathroom, a man was wearing a white and clean shirt. He was slender and elegant, and his pair of calm eyes were staring at her quietly. It was Wei Lingnan.

Xia Yingluo’s heart thumped like a drum. How did this person come in silently?!

She looked at him alertly, remembering that she was undressed. She quickly grabbed Jiang Yu’s bathrobe to cover her body.

Wei Lingnan grabbed her hand and took the bathrobe away, throwing it away like trash.

“What are you doing?!” she cried angrily. He held her wrists with the force of copper casting.

She struggled hard but still couldn’t break free. She glared at him, her eyes almost spitting fire.

The shower sprinkled mist-like water vapor in the air and fell on the two people’s brows. Wei Lingnan looked down at her, with a touch of irony in his eyes. “Why, you’re so clingy in front of me, but in the blink of an eye, you’re hooking up with another man?”

His voice was harsh, and she froze in anger. “Who clung to you!”

“If you didn’t, why did you fight with Ah Luo?” His eyes darkened.

Xia Yingluo remembered what happened in the studio’s dressing room during the day. She was furious and said with a sneer, “The vixen came to me for trouble. She should be bullied if she deserves it. Wei Lingnan, don’t overestimate yourself. Even if all the men on Earth… No, even if all men in the universe die, I won’t cling onto you!”

His expression hardened. He raised his hand and threw her against the bathroom wall.

She slid down the misty tile, naked. Her naked body slammed against the edge of the bathtub, and it hurt so much she thought her waist was broken. For a while, she couldn’t get up. Then, she felt her hair being pulled, and she was forced to raise her head to face his face close up.

“You’re looking for death.” He spat word by word.

He didn’t know where the irritability in his heart came from, but when he heard that she wouldn’t want him even if all men in the universe were dead…

The anger he felt almost devoured him.

But she was so pained that her sight was distorted. She gritted her teeth and sneered. “You’re the one looking for death. Wei Lingnan, you already have Gu Jinxiu, what are you doing behind her back? Who am I, you have already found your Queen, why did you come to provoke me?”

At first, she only wanted to rebuke him, but she gradually became aggrieved and her nose began to sour again.
