Chapter 2 Shush! Don’t Utter a Sound!”

• “Ugh....”
• A weak groan resonated from the hot spring.
• Lin Xiaoxue’s heart skipped a beat yet again. The commotion outside had woken up the man.
• She turned around and discovered that she had hid herself deep at the end of where the screen laid. She was no more than five steps away from the man who had awoken.
• Coincidentally, the man’s head was tilted in her direction. Through the hot steam, she could feel his gaze on her.
• If the man was to question her, he would undoubtedly draw Ye Yifan’s attention to this place. Her life would then be over.
• Without pondering too much, she ripped off her wedding gown and kicked off her left shoe as she crawled to the hot spring.
• “If she can’t be found in the garden, then she has to be in one of these rooms.”
• Ye Yifan’s voice sounded again.
• When she reached the edge of the water, Lin Xiaoxue gritted her teeth and slid in.
• “Boss, this one has a ‘Do Not Disturb” sign.”
• The man who had said this was right outside the door. They were about to come in.
• “I’m looking for my bride! Is that good enough of a reason?!” Ye Yifan insisted.
• “....”
• There were no longer any words of hesitation.
• A corner of the curtains was pulled open. A stream of light from beyond the corridor illuminated the hot spring area.
• At the same time, Lin Xiaoxue mustered all her strength to quickly near the man. Without waiting for him to respond, she glued herself onto him.
• “Ah!” The sudden bodily contact with that person prompted pain from the critical wound to radiate across his body. Even worse was that cool, petite hand had cruelly covered his mouth. All of a sudden, he could not breathe.
• “Shush! Don’t utter a sound!” Ling Xiaoxue nervously whispered into his ear.
• Out of survival instinct, the weak Gu Luochen grabbed the petite hand and struggled to pry it from his mouth.
• The scent of sweet blood further thickened the damp atmosphere.
• “You....”
• The man ripped her hand away. Just as he was about to speak, the men from outside stepped inside the hot spring house. Without thinking, Lin Xiaoxue sealed his lips with hers, silencing any sounds that he was about to make.
• “Hmph?” The man man weakly grabbed her by the shoulders. Afraid that he would fight her and ruin everything, she pressed tightly against his body and grabbed his head which was about to turn away.
• Who.... is she? How dare she....
• Gu Luochen was livid and embarrassed. He wasn’t one who admired women often, but he was now very frail. He was in her control.
• Her scent penetrated his nostrils. It was fragrant and fresh. Both of their lips were cool as they
• When her mouth slightly opened and their soft lips were locked, he could taste an indescribable sweetness from her. At that moment, Gu Luochen’s body shivered. He froze in the water, unable to move.
• Lin Xiaoxue was already extremely nervous. As she kissed the stranger in front of her, she warily eyed in the direction of the door. Using the light, the man who had entered could faintly make out a couple kissing heatedly in the water. Somewhat stunned, he then subconsciously stepped out. However, the hand that grabbed onto the curtains hesitated and held on.
• Please, hurry up and leave!
• Lin Xiaoxue inwardly prayed.
• “Boss, look!”
• “What?”
• “The insignia on this sign has five arrows! This must be.... Someone from that clan must be in there.”
• The one who had spoken had lowered his voice in fear.
• The curtains dropped again, and the private hot spring house was filled with steam once more.
