Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 Just Checking the Goods

With the help of Sister Wu by the side of Nanshan Lake, Gu Xiangyi finally managed to carry Xu Xiangbei into the car. Then, she also moved the things her sister needed to pack into that Land Rover Range Rover Evoque.

Finally, the three of them slowly left the lakeside of Nanshan in the twilight.

Gu Xinyan sat in the car, calmly watching the night through the car window.

Her mind was swirling, could the unconscious man beside her really help her stand firm again?

If she truly stood firm, would she have to devote herself to him?

At this moment, Gu Xiangyi resumed her swift and resolute style, and the Land Rover Range Rover in the night seemed like a waving black flag, slowly moving away.

They returned to Spring Villa.

Gu Xiangyi helped her sister up the stairs, and finally put Xu Xiangbei on the sofa in the hall. Seeing Xu Xiangbei still deeply asleep, Gu Xiangyi went straight up to the third floor to help her sister Gu Xinyan tidy up the room.

The night shrouded the earth.

The Gu sisters finally completed the grand feat of moving. Gu Xinyan, weary from the journey and her mind tangled with thoughts, took a bath with her sister's help and lay down on the bed early.

Gu Xiangyi, after a busy day, sat in the living room on the third floor. Recalling everything from today, it felt like a dream.

Moving back to this Spring Villa, not sure if it's good or bad?

Shaking her head, Gu Xiangyi got up and went to the third-floor bathroom.

It must be said that this villa rented by Xu Xiangbei, while not exactly lavish, had a distinct and elegant decor. In this third-floor bathroom, there was also a large bathtub.

For Gu Xiangyi, who loves cleanliness and bathing, after a busy and tiring day, comfortably lying in the bathtub without thinking about anything was truly an enjoyment.

For today, Gu Xiangyi was also very tired.

She lay directly in the bathtub and closed her eyes.

The warm water surrounded her body, allowing every cell in Gu Xiangyi's body to relax. She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead.

Thinking of her grandfather's illness and the current predicament of the Xiangyi Group, Gu Xiangyi heaved a heavy sigh.

The night gradually cloaked the land in darkness.

Xu Xiangbei, who was lying on the sofa on the first floor, finally had his eyelashes twitch slightly. Earlier by the Nanshan Lake, he had twice used his Inner Strength in succession, causing him to faint. After such a long time, Xu Xiangbei finally came slowly to his senses.

He stood up and looked at the brightly lit hall.

However, there was no sight of Gu Xiangyi or Gu Xinyan.

A bit confused, where did those two stunning beauties go?

Shaking his head, Xu Xiangbei headed up the stairs to the first floor. He wanted to see if Gu Xiangyi was upstairs, and if the two sisters had safely moved in.

Sighing, he blamed himself for being too arrogant today.

Otherwise, if only he hadn't forcefully unleashed such overwhelming Inner Strength.

How could he have capsized in the gutter?

The second floor was pitch-dark.

Xu Xiangbei headed straight to the third floor.

The light in the hall on the third floor was on, but looking around, no one was there.

Looking around once more, only the light in the bathroom was on.

Xu Xiangbei saw that the bathroom door was surprisingly open, so he walked in on his own.

The orange light in the bathroom was quite beautiful.

However, when Xu Xiangbei walked into the bathroom, he found a more beautiful and captivating figure in the bathtub.

Gu Xiangyi was soaking in the bathtub, resting with her eyes shut. Her face still had some mist from the recent bath, and her graceful, snow-white neck looked so enchanting.

Time seemed to stand still.

Xu Xiangbei stood there at the bathroom door, observing the captivating view in the bathtub.

Finally, Gu Xiangyi in the bathtub realized what was happening.

She opened her beautiful eyes and saw the face that incited indignation. Only then did she realize she hadn't closed the bathroom door when she entered.

This had given the man before her an unintended chance to enter the bathroom unnoticed, creating this awkward situation.

Despite her usually resolute nature, Gu Xiangyi's personality had a hint of carelessness. Adding to the fact that she was utterly exhausted today, she had completely forgotten to close the bathroom door.

This bastard, clearly exhausted from overusing his strength, should have been asleep until tomorrow morning!

However, the situation between the two of them was indeed somewhat awkward right now.

A blush quickly spread on her pretty face, her heart was slightly chaotic. But Gu Xiangyi saw the man in front of her still looking at her greedily.

She finally took a deep breath, calming her restless emotions.

She looked up at Xu Xiangbei and glared fiercely, asking coldly, "Have you seen enough?"

"Seen enough?" Xu Xiangbei's eyes slightly shifted, smiling wickedly as he retorted, "How could it be enough? How could anyone get enough? Even if I looked for a lifetime, it wouldn't be enough."

Such a captivating view, how could it ever be enough?

Humph!

Gu Xiangyi snorted coldly, truly shameless.

"I know what you're thinking, but you'd better not have such delusions now," Gu Xiangyi shrank herself further into the water, chiding coldly, "But you haven't even cured my sister's leg. I won't let you succeed. If there comes a day when you help my sister stand again, then we'll talk."

"Oh, such deep sisterly affection."

Xu Xiangbei stood at the bathroom door and spoke leisurely, "Woman, there's no one in this villa to protect you two sisters."

Gu Xiangyi's chest heaved with anger, glaring at Xu Xiangbei, for the first time feeling a bit of regret and fear.

Had she been too rash, just bringing her sister into a stranger's home like this?

Moreover, she and her sister Xin Yan were such stunning women.

How many men in this world could resist?

However, Xu Xiangbei smiled slightly, forcefully suppressing the evil thoughts within. He turned and left the bathroom.

"I just came to inspect the goods, that's all. I'm going downstairs to cook something, I'm hungry."

Outside, Xu Xiangbei's calm words floated in, finally allowing Gu Xiangyi, who was planning to sacrifice herself to the wolf, to breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease.

This man didn't seem to be as bad as she had imagined?

Wasn't he?
