Steaming in the sauna, twisting the waist while singing, and suffering ultimate social death in front of Gu Jinzhou-A Pequena Namorada do Chefão Obsessivo é Doce, Fofa e Irresistível(Doce Xiaobei)

Silver Lake Manor features a sauna room, located right next to the four-hundred-square-meter swimming pool.

Su Ruanruan cast a greedy glance at the sparkling, cool-yet-warm pool, then resignedly walked into the sauna. She needed to steam away the smell of alcohol clinging to her skin and strands of hair.

Gu Jinzhou, however, was quite fresh.

After swimming a few laps in the pool, he sat on a lounge chair holding his laptop to handle trivial official business.

His slender, clean fingers tapped on the keyboard from time to time. A white bath towel was wrapped loosely around his waist, the wet, sculpted muscles of his abdomen clearly defined, and his impeccably handsome profile possessed a perfect, ascetic charm—like a walking human hormone.

"I love to take a bath~ My skin feels so good~"

"I am ready~ I am ready~"

Wearing a pink silk bathrobe, Su Ruanruan hummed a tune and stepped briskly out of the sauna room.

Her smooth, jade-like toes were pinched into casual sandals, her swaying figure twisting from side to side, and her plump, curvaceous buttocks visibly shook the silk bathrobe into a soft arc.

The silk neckline dutifully wrapped around her fair and lovely chest, but she couldn't help singing and swaying her waist, rendering her fair and alluring cleavage faintly visible—manifesting a tangible, soft sexiness.

"Gourd Baby~ Gourd Baby~"

"Seven flowers on a single vine~"

"A tiny vine is my home~ La la la la~"

As Su Ruanruan passed by the swimming pool, she felt as though she had forgotten something. When she stopped her wildly swaying waist and looked back at a certain man smiling brightly—

"Ah ah ah ah!!!"

She had actually forgotten that Gu Jinzhou was waiting for her right here.

Social death.

This was literally a tenth-degree social death.

Her delicate, tender toes, flushed with a faint pink hue, curled up in nervous tension.

"Gu Jinzhou, oh, you just saw nothing and heard nothing."

"Unfortunately, I am a very healthy male; I heard it, and I saw it too."

Covering her blushing face, Su Ruanruan hurried away.

Gu Jinzhou caught up with her in three or two strides, tucked her slender, soft waist into the crook of his arm, and carried her back to the bedroom.

Su Ruanruan attempted to struggle, her slender, fair calves kicking wildly into empty space, but the disparity in strength between her and the man was too vast. She gave up resisting and went completely limp, playing dead like a lifeless salted fish.

Gu Jinzhou’s deep, elegant, and magnetic voice sounded: "Darling, I think it is quite necessary for me to demonstrate my strength to you, otherwise you will always mistakenly think I am inferior to other men."

"I did not! Do not twist my words!"

"Protest invalid."

The domineering and willful young master had never been one to wrong himself in such matters. To devour his sweet and delicate little darling, let alone hiding under the covers—even if she hid in a cold and austere prison cell, the young master would still chase after her to 'devour' her.

"Since we worked so hard tonight, will I make a baby?"

"...Gu Jinzhou, shut your mouth... You took the contraceptive shot, how am I supposed to make a baby?"

The moment Su Ruanruan opened her eyes, she saw Mu Xin'er. Her gaze was slightly dazed, completely unsure of what day it was.

After steaming in the sauna last night and helping Gu Jinzhou make 'pancakes,' she was both exhausted and thoroughly satisfied.

"Xin'er, why are you here?"

"Last time I almost miscarried and was kept at home to recuperate. The doctor and Third Brother Gu finally relented, so the very moment they did, I rushed out to play with you!"

"Oh... Then I'll ask for leave from the crew. Actually, I probably don't even need to ask; there's nothing scheduled for me today." Su Ruanruan rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Please, Miss Mu Xin'er, go wait in the living room and spare me a little private space to wash up and change."

"Will do." Mu Xin'er stood at the doorway and said with a beaming smile, "When we soaked in the hot springs, is there any part of you I haven't seen? It's much too late for you to be shy now. But that little mole on your bottom is truly sexy; even as a woman, I can't forget it. Tsk tsk, Young Master Gu is certainly blessed."

Su Ruanruan: "?!"

No wonder Gu Jinzhou liked it so much... Ah ah ah, she was going crazy! Were there any normal people around her at all?

After sharing a brunch, the two set off to attend an art salon.

Mu Xin'er remarked, "The organizers this time are quite impressive, inviting many genuine artists. A lot of people in the circle are going."

Wearing her frog eye mask, Su Ruanruan drifted back to sleep, but afraid that Mu Xin'er would be bored, she hummed a perfunctory "Mm" in response.

Mu Xin'er continued, "Ruanruan, what was up with your Moments post yesterday? You've never been the type to hold grudges. Even if you didn't like the gift from the Su family, you wouldn't just trash it."

As a pampered little princess raised with utmost care by the Gu family, she possessed both poise and pride. Doing something tacky like venting her frustration on jewelry simply wasn't her style.

"I didn't trash it, I just didn't want to look at it, so I handed it over to my designer friend to handle. I like pink sapphires, while Su Lan'er likes blue sapphires. That necklace, both in color and design, was clearly meant for Su Lan'er, which is why she could mistakenly assume the blue sapphire necklace was bought for her by the Su family."

Pausing for a moment, a faint, clean smile tugged at the corners of her lips: "If the Su family didn't send me a sincere gift, I couldn't possibly force myself to wear it around my neck either. Ever since I returned to Jinzhou's side, I haven't held any expectations for the Su family. Jinzhou wouldn't like me wearing that necklace anyway, and anything he dislikes, I won't do anymore."

Driving the car, Leng Ming suddenly spoke up, "President Gu dislikes Miss drinking milk tea. Perhaps Miss should consider quitting it."

Aside from protecting Su Ruanruan's safety, he was also responsible for monitoring whether she ate junk food. However, when it came to personal dietary habits, how could a mere bodyguard possibly interfere?

Su Ruanruan: "...Only that is non-negotiable."

A life without milk tea is utterly meaningless!

Covering her mouth, Mu Xin'er let out a crisp giggle.

Today's art salon was held in an ancient castle. After presenting their invitations, Mu Xin'er and Su Ruanruan barely listened to any speeches or looked at many paintings, as they were entirely occupied with socializing with the people crowding around them.

The big news of Gu Jinzhou and Su Ruanruan's affectionate reconciliation had already passed, and given Gu Jinzhou's formidable influence, no one dared to gossip recklessly.

Currently, the hot topic in high-society circles was Mu Xin'er calling off her engagement with Rong Xiu.

"Mu Xin'er and Rong Xiu were childhood sweethearts. How did things end up with them breaking off their engagement out of the blue?"

"When I attended a gathering last time, a friend from a media company let it slip that Rong Xiu has become infatuated with a female celebrity."

"Rong Xiu's habit of cherishing jade and pitying the fairer sex isn't a new thing, but surely they wouldn't call off an engagement just for that."

"Perhaps this time it isn't just pity—perhaps he's truly fallen in love."

"Look at Mu Xin'er; her style is completely different from before. She used to be a sexy little firecracker, but now she's taken on a gentle and graceful persona."

"I think she's great like this. It spares those men from gluing their eyes to Mu Xin'er as if nobody else has a chest and legs except her."

"Huh, actually, I don't think her change in style is because of a broken heart. The clothes Mu Xin'er is wearing look suspiciously like maternity wear."

One had to admit, these refined, veteran socialites had remarkably sharp eyes.

In the restroom.

Xia Xinyou stood behind them, drying her hands with a paper towel, and said with a beaming smile, "Mu Xin'er, canceling your engagement banquet with Rong Xiu—could it be that Rong Xiu didn't just cheat with a female celebrity, but that you're actually pregnant with some wild man's spawn?!"
