Chapter 134: Funeral
White mist rose from the surface of the water, while high-end, dark grey marble walls were streaked with condensation.
Xu Si leaned against the smooth backrest of the bathtub, lazily holding the phone receiver. Her soaking wet hair was draped behind her ears, the clay mask washed from her face, revealing a delicate, full forehead and a strikingly beautiful face.
She exercised diligently, her body possessing a sculpted perfection.
In the hazy steam, she listened to Anshi report on the recent project progress, letting the hot water cascade over her delicate collarbones, washing away her fatigue.
However, just as she was about to get up, footsteps sounded from beyond the frosted bathroom door. Soon, a tall figure stood by the door, raised a hand, and gently tapped twice with the back of two fingers.
"Discussing work? Impressive," Pei Zhen’s voice was toneless. "I had someone bring over some clothes for you. Pick whatever you like; if you don’t like them, we’ll get another batch."
Anshi, on the other end of the call, immediately fell silent.
Xu Si wanted to cover the receiver, but her hands were dripping wet. After a moment’s thought, she gave a soft "Mm."
The person outside the frosted door seemed to chuckle softly before raising his voice.
"Sweetheart, come out soon. I’ll be waiting for you tonight."
With that, the footsteps leisurely departed.
What kind of misleading words were these?
