The Apple of the Ruthless CEO s Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

In the bathroom, Li Yan was standing with his back facing the door as he did his business. When he heard footsteps ringing out from behind, his expression immediately turned cold. When he turned and saw the person who had just come, his expression was no longer icy. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of playfulness in his expression.

“My dear niece, did you specially come here to find me? Don’t you think that you’re being a little too eager?”

Qiao Mu was dumbfounded. She thought that Li Yan was only here to wash his hands. When she saw what he was doing, she quickly turned away, and there was a flush on her face.

Li Yan slowly buckled up his belt and flushed the toilet. He then turned on the faucet to wash his hands. His movements were elegant and natural, as if he did not mind Qiao Mu’s presence at all.

Only then did Qiao Mu turn back to face him. Even though it could be seen from the way she moved that she was angry, there was a smile on her face. She said with sincerity, “Uncle, I need to talk to you.”

“Hm? What kind of stuff do you need to talk to me about, to the point that you need to look for me in the bathroom so stealthily?”

Qiao Mu pouted. Was the thing that happened between them something that could be talked about out in the open?

Qiao Mu blinked her large eyes, and she cut a pitiful sight. “Uncle, you asked me to look for you on Monday. You must not go back on your words. You cannot deceive an innocent and naive teenage girl like me. Please be merciful and let me off the hook!”

An innocent and naive teenage girl? Li Yan smiled. This description did not fit her at all.

Qiao Mu could not decipher the expression on his face, and she said with an exaggerated tone, “If my stepmother finds out about what happened between us, I won’t be able to survive in the Qiao family anymore. They will beat me up. You can’t just watch while I’m abused to death like that, can you?”

“Oh? Will they treat you so cruelly?”

Qiao Mu nodded vigorously. “You have no idea. My stepmother is really horrible to me. She looks gentle on the surface, but she’s actually evil. She abuses me all the time!”

“How does she abuse you?”

“She deprives me of food and drinks!”

“Oh, no wonder you look like an underage girl even though you’re already eighteen. Puberty wasn’t nice to you.” As Li Yan said this, he shot a glance at Qiao Mu’s breasts.

Qiao Mu was rendered speechless.

He was the one whom puberty was not nice to, okay? He was the one who looked underage. Was it fun for him to insult her again and again?

Qiao Mu suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and nodded reluctantly. “Yeah, that’s why I couldn’t grow up well. So, please have pity on me.”

Li Yan rested a hand on the door behind Qiao Mu and leaned in toward her. “Did I say that I’m going to go back on my words? Why are you all worked up? Or are you just taking this opportunity to seduce me again?”

Qiao Mu pressed her back against the door and said in a hushed tone, “Uncle, you’re thinking too much. By the way… can you stay a bit further from me? I haven’t showered for two days, and my body is full of germs. You wouldn’t want germs on your body, would you?”

Li Yan did not mind at all. Instead, his smile became even wider. His eyes wandered around her body. “So, you didn’t shower this morning, and my scent is on your body even until now? Little thing, are you that reluctant to wash off my scent?”

“Li Yan!” Qiao Mu really could not take it anymore, and her face was bright red from his teasing. This was too much! He was such a shameless person!

Li Yan wrapped an arm around Qiao Mu’s waist, and their bodies were pressed against each other’s. He said behind her ear in a husky voice, “I won’t shun someone who belongs to me.”

Qiao Mu froze. Before she could ponder about the meaning behind his words, he suddenly brought his face closer to hers. In the very next moment, he kissed her!

He twirled his tongue around his mouth in a domineering and possessive manner, to the point that Qiao Mu was almost out of breath.

After a while, Li Yan slapped Qiao Mu’s a*s and let out a low chuckle. “If we don’t leave the bathroom now, even if I say nothing, people will find out about our affair.

‘Affair!?’

How could he use this term!? He sounded like she willingly got into a sexual relationship with him!

Qiao Mu really wanted to choke this man to death. Why was he always able to infuriate her so much with his words!?
