But fortunately, this time, before her clouded judgement caused her to make a big mistake, Jin Di had already walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
2The room grew quiet again, but the image of Jin Di's naked chest was still lingering in her mind.
2She noticed that his smell still lingered where he'd lay on the bed.
2It was like cigar smoke and wine mixed together. Beneath that, an inexplicable lemon-like aroma, a very clean and pleasant smell.
2And not like Ziyi's smell at all.
2But...the more of it she smelled, the more she started to like it...
2The sound of the shower drifted in from the bathroom. She did not know whether he had let her off the hook out of kindness, seeing that she was unwilling, or whether he really wasn't that interested in her at the moment.
2Either way, it seemed as though he wouldn't be doing anything to her tonight.
2She silently breathed a sigh of relief. Still, this whole situation was exhausting.
2This man was far too unpredictable.
2Every time she confronted him, she felt as if she was being played by him!
No matter what, their relationship was just a contract.
As long as she kept her heart safe and waited for him to tire of her, everything would be okay.
2'That's right, Zuo Aiai,' she thought to herself, 'Just keep your heart safe.'
2Don't provoke him, and no matter what, certainly don't fall in love with him...
2As long as she stuck to that, she would be fine.
2When Jin Di came out of the bathroom, he saw Zuo Aiai's slim body relaxed on the bed in deep sleep.
2He walked to the side of the bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, as well as the wet tears at the corners of her eyes. His eyes darkened slightly.
He reached out to hold her little hand on the duvet...soft, so soft, almost as if there were no bones in it at all...
2Just as he expected.
2This woman was his antidote. No matter how he touched her, he would not have any reaction.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. For the first time in a year, he was in a good mood.
Zhang Qiao's medical plan was very clear. As long as he spent more time with her, the symptoms of his allergic reaction might become lighter and lighter.
Perhaps in time, he would become just like an ordinary man.
So this little woman was very important to him. His diagnosis and the treatment method was not strict, so he hoped that professionals would not delve too deeply into it.
2And in return, he could give her everything she wanted: love, money, a glamorous life.
2But the only thing he would not give her...
was love.
2Because he did not love her, and he wasn't in any hurry to fall in love. She was his antidote, that was all.
2When Jin Di walked out of the room, the Butler had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
2Jin Di put on a bathrobe and told him lazily, "I will be staying in the other master bedroom tonight."
2"It's ready, sir."
2---
2When Zuo Aiai woke up, the sun was already shining.
2She wanted to keep burrowing into the comfortable big bed. She was on the verge of drifting back to sleep before she suddenly remembered what happened last night and sat up as quickly as if she'd been burned.
2She quickly looked around the room and did not find any trace of Jin Di sleeping there.
2She was relieved. It seemed as though he was, if nothing else, a man of his word.
2When she walked out of the room, the housekeeper was already waiting for her. She learned from the housekeeper that Jin Di had left very early.
2She was shocked for a moment, but soon heaved a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to school. When she walked to the courtyard, the Butler asked her kindly.
"Miss, do you need a driver to take you to school?"
2She recalled the car that Jin Di took yesterday. If it was driven to the school gate, the news of her being a mistress would probably spread in less than ten minutes.
2"No need... I'll take the bus."
