Chapter 633: I’ll Help You Bathe

Effortlessly wielding the big bucket with a single arm, he showcased a powerful arc in the muscles of his limb. Su Wen would have needed both hands to carry the water-filled bucket herself, requiring two rests before bringing it in.

Pouring the water into the bathtub was no simple task; she meticulously used a water ladle, scooping it bit by bit. Without a modern bathtub, bathing came with its inconveniences.

However, that wasn’t the case now. Su Wen could sit and admire the handsome man serving her. Supporting her chin with one hand, she mimicked Zhou Hengyang’s confident posture on the bed. Propping up one leg with an elbow and holding a book he threw on the bed, she pondered, “Oh my G.o.d! What’s written in this?”

Despite being a university graduate, the content eluded her understanding. “Forget it! Stop acting cool!” she thought. Acting cool might attract unforeseen consequences.

“Good!” Zhou Hengyang checked the water temperature, effortlessly lifting Su Wen like a baby.

“What are you doing?”

“Helping you bathe! Be good and listen to me.”

Panicking, Su Wen kicked her legs wildly, attempting to break free, but Zhou Hengyang a.s.sertively grabbed her waist. “Don’t move. If you move again…” His last words contained a suppressed desire, his voice turning low and hoa.r.s.e.

Stunned, Su Wen stopped moving, extremely obedient.

Zhou Hengyang chuckled. “Wenwen, do you know what I admire most about you?”

“What?”

“You know your place!” His hot lips pressed against Su Wen’s ear as he murmured, “When it’s time to be obedient, you’re more obedient than anyone else. When it’s time to show off, you never miss the opportunity. You’re like a little fox that hasn’t grown up yet.”

Less calculating, more worldly and composed—how could he not love her?

Embarra.s.sed by the compliment, Su Wen blushed, unsure of what to say. There were only a few people who praised her like this, especially when it came from a man—it carried a different weight.

Zhou Hengyang’s heart nearly melted at her instinctive cute reaction. He wished he could hug her tightly forever.

“Do you think I’m praising you?” He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and deliberately said harshly.

“What? Isn’t it a compliment?” She was being praised. She was clever and resourceful, protecting herself and avoiding disadvantageous situations.

What’s wrong with putting on a front when you’re not entirely capable?

Isn’t that normal? It wasn’t embarra.s.sing!

She wasn’t like Little Aunt Zhou Yan, a proud daughter of the three evils of the Province. Su Wen was just an ordinary person.

“Ha! Just take it as a compliment!” Confidence was a good thing.

“Put me down. Hurry up, I’ll do it myself.” Su Wen’s body grew hotter as she was being hugged, making her feel uncomfortable. The hands that embraced her were warm, and his presence was overpowering. She couldn’t feign indifference.

As an actress, even she couldn’t concentrate on acting under these circ.u.mstances, revealing the strength of his presence.

“Be good, don’t move. I’ll help you shower.”

Zhou Hengyang put her on the narrow stool beside the bathtub. Su Wen used it as a makes.h.i.+ft step to reach the higher levels of the wardrobe, and it was quite unstable without something to hold onto.

To prevent any mishaps, she clung tightly to him, refusing to let go.
