"Undress."

Hearing that one command, Xiao Yunhua expressionlessly and monotonously began to unzip her dress before his eyes.

"What are you doing!?" He called out in shock, stopping her.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" She dryly said, continuing to unzip her dress. Zhou Feng could see her flawless, pale skin slowly starting to unravel from behind the dress. He raised his hand and she paused again, not bothering to fix her dress. He turned his head, and despite the heat beginning to overwhelm his body, demanded for her to go to inside the room.

"Keeping it classy..." she muttered. When she opened the door, she paused in astonishment. It wasn't a bedroom like she expected, but a bathroom!

"Go and take a shower." His cold voice resounded from behind her. "I'll put pajamas by the door when you're finished." Even though she was pale from crying earlier, her face turned rosy red at his words. So he hadn't said 'undress' for any type of pleasure, but meant for her to take a shower. In fact, if she hadn't been hasty, then she would've have misinterpreted his words!

She hadn't this embarrassed in so long! Not bothering to look behind her, she quickly went inside and closed the door. Her face was still flustered, but it had eased. Looking around, she found a large bathroom that was as big as her room in Wang Yaowan's mansion. Everything was prepared already: towels, hairdryer, etcetera. She didn't know why he needed so many things, but she assumed that they were already prepared for him.

He, the infamously coldhearted Zhou young master, would clearly have everything done for him.

She decided to stop thinking and turned on the warm water to pour on her. Standing underneath the shower, her tense muscles relaxed and she sighed in relief. A hot shower was exactly what she needed after the stressful day. Seeing the shampoo and other hygiene products, she used them without much thought.

But when the smell wafted through the air, she was shocked. It was his scent surrounding her. Xiao Yunhua didn't think her moment of impulse would lead to something that would be considered so scandalous. She bit her lips nervously at the image of Zhou Lang recognizing his brother's particular scent all over her. No matter the reaction, Xiao Yunhua knew that it wouldn't be anything good. Fervently attempting to scrub it off, it was too late. It seemed like she couldn't get away from him or his sandalwood smell no matter what! The masculinity of it all made her cheeks flustered.

Xiao Yunhua sighed and shut the water. Grabbing the towel, she wrapped it around her body and hesitantly peaked out of the bathroom door. Xiao Yunhua saw that nobody, not even Zhou Feng, was in sight, but she saw that he heeded his promise and pajamas were on the floor. Swiftly grabbing them, she wore the oversized clothes and his scent overwhelmed her again. Immediately, she was sure that these were his. But, unfortunately, she didn't have any undergarments to wear! Even though it made her uncomfortable, she had to endure for a while until she got home.

Even though the clothes were too big for her to wear, Xiao Yunhua luckily found a clip of some sort and used it to keep her pants from falling off. The whole action made her feel like she was a little kid, but she knew it would have been way more embarrassing if they fell off and flashed the poor man.

With her hair somewhat wet, she slowly tiptoed outside of the bathroom and decided to sneak around.

"Finished?" A voice startled her and she jumped, stumbling on her way. Fortunately, a pair of arms caught her immediately. She looked up and saw that Zhou Feng was intensely staring at her. Clearing her throat, she nodded and he released her from his grip.

She quietly thanked him for helping her and then sat down on an available sofa. An awkward silence loomed over and she suddenly began to panic. "Oh my goodness! I forgot to tell Ni Ming or Wang Yaowan about my location! They're probably worried sick!" She frantically looked for her phone before she realized that she didn't have it with her. Indeed, she had come to the Magnolia penthouse without any of her belongings. She asked to borrow Zhou Feng's phone and quickly dialed Ni Ming's number.

"Hello?" Ni Ming answered, to which Xiao Yunhua sighed in relief when she didn't hear the woman's tone to be panicky.

"Ni Ming, it's me."

"Little girl! Where are you!" Ni Ming exploded in anger. "We were worried sick! If the bouncer didn't tell us that you disappeared with your boyfriend, then we would've been worried sick!"

"Boyfriend?" Xiao Yunhua was surprised. She clearly did not leave with Zhou Lang?

"Yes, the bouncer said the Zhou young master, so we assumed—"

"You're right!" Xiao Yunhua interrupted anxiously. "I'm with Zhou Lang." Peeking at the side, she saw Zhou Feng's expression turn into confusion before resuming his cold expression. "I'll be home soon!"

"Little girl, the weather isn't looking so good!" Ni Ming's tone suddenly turned mischievously, "Why don't you stay over? I'm sure you're boyfriend wouldn't mind! And besides, it'd be fun to seal the deal!"

"I—"

"It's settled then!" Ni Ming cheerfully responded before Xiao Yunhua could reply, "We'll see you tomorrow!"

Then she hung up, leaving Xiao Yunhua and Zhou Feng to stare at each other. Clearly, by the look on his face, he had overheard their conversation. He had heard Ni Ming utter the words 'seal the deal!'

"You know," Zhou Feng smirked as his cold eyes warmed, "if it's you, I wouldn't mind sealing the deal..."
