Chapter 146: Misunderstanding

************

Mei Xing slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings. She was met with the sight of opulent decor and lavish furnishings, a far cry from her humble abode.

As she sat up, the soft silk sheets slid down her bare skin, revealing souvenirs from the previous night. Her mind was foggy, but the memories of the previous night came flooding back.

The passion, the intensity and intimacy, the tender moments.

Mei Xing gazed around the room, taking in the grandeur until her eyes landed on Lu Aotian. He was watching her with an amused gaze, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Mei Xing's cheeks flushed as she averted her gaze to the breakfast tray of food at the foot of the bed. Her mouth watered at the tantalising sight.

"Good morning, beautiful," Lu Aotian greeted as he tipped her chin towards him. Mei Xing quickly pulled back, her hand flying to cover her lips.
