Chapter 540 - 549: Hot Springs (6)
But the moment her fair feet stepped into the hot spring, it felt as if every current in her body was activated. Submerged in the warm spring waters, the fatigue that weighed on her seemed to ebb away slowly with the rippling azure waves.
The air in the mountain woods was fresh. Sitting in the spring, she looked up at the sky. It was hard to imagine that in a place as polluted as Shangcheng, there was still an area where one could see the heavens above. A gentle river of stars flowed overhead, with twinkling stars all around, dotting the sky like little night lights, enchanting and comforting.
She buried everything below her head in the hot spring, curling up as if tucked in a mother’s womb, and sat in the corner of the spring.
Her relationship with Yu Zexiao was truly a mess. At first, she had been determined to leave, especially when she thought that he had no affection for her at all, the urge to leave grew even stronger.
But now, Yu Zexiao had clearly developed feelings for her. And she... she liked him too. Although what Yu Zexiao did yesterday was over the top for her, aside from a little indignation over being deceived and a bit of embarrassment, she didn’t particularly dislike his actions.
It was over! In the past, if Yu Zexiao had dared to deceive her like that, she would have kicked him to the curb without a second thought! But now, she didn’t even know if she would still be able to reject him as firmly as before if Yu Zexiao were to make a suggestive move on her again...
What would she do if she agreed to Yu Zexiao? Would she seriously date and marry him, stepping out from behind the scenes to take center stage, or would she have to reveal her true background to him? Should she join him in facing the formidable wrath of the Situ Family?
