Su Lu didn’t know what she was thinking. Perhaps it was because his slightly red eyes were too harmless, and his harmless gaze was too gentle.

She nodded. “Okay.”

Bo Jingshen continued to look at her with a deep gaze.

He didn’t know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with her obedient nod.

Bo Jingshen had no intention of leaving immediately. It was as if he knew what Su Lu was thinking, so he quietly waited for dawn with her.

However, Su Lu ultimately did not see the sunrise. The weather was bad, and the clouds were thick, obscuring the view.

She felt somewhat disappointed.

Perhaps she didn’t have the fate to see the sunrise. She had come here many times with Bo Jingshen in the past, but she had never seen a sunrise.

This made Su Lu somewhat obsessed with watching the sunrise at the Lover’s Corner Sunset Viewing Platform.

“Come again next time. When the weather is good. Let’s go back to rest first. You haven’t slept all night,” Bo Jingshen comforted in a low voice and sent a text message to the driver.

Not long after, the driver arrived and drove them back to the hotel.

Upon returning to the hotel, Su Lu went to the room and took a bath.

Cheng Youran called. She had been busy every day, but she managed to find some time to chat before her ward round.

Su Lu was initially silent, but after giving it some thought, she felt the need to confide in someone.

Youran was undoubtedly the most suitable person. She was gentle, rational, calm, and restrained.

However, Cheng Youran, who was usually so rational, calm, and restrained, couldn’t maintain her composure after hearing Su Lu’s words.

Her voice became almost a few degrees louder. Just by listening to it, one could feel that her blood pressure seemed to have risen quite a bit.

“What did you say?!” Cheng Youran exclaimed, her voice filled with agitation. “You said you agreed to his request?!”

“Yes, I agreed,” Su Lu replied.

“You… What the hell…” Cheng Youran cursed, her anger exploding. “Are you out of your mind?”

“Oh well.” After some contemplation during the journey, Su Lu had calmed down considerably and could even smile and joke. “Life rarely offers a chance for me to be mad.”

“Shut up!” Cheng Youran snapped.

Su Lu kept quiet in embarrassment. She pursed her lips and said in a softer voice. “Youran, please don’t be angry.”

Cheng Youran took a deep breath, frustratedly saying, “Su Lu, you’re twenty-seven! Not seventeen! Not even twenty-two!”

“I know,” Su Lu replied softly.

“Then why are you humiliating yourself like this? You don’t have time to recover if you keep hurting yourself. You’re not young anymore.”

“I know,” Su Lu repeated those two words.

Cheng Youran fell silent, remaining quiet for a long time.

She knew Su Lu was never a foolish person. On the contrary, she could see many things. To some extent, she was even more rational and calm than Cheng Youran. She seemed to be able to calm down in any situation.

But she saw everything clearly and yet walked into it without hesitation. There must be a reason… A reason that compelled her to do so.

Cheng Youran didn’t need to think twice. She knew Su Lu was doing this for Bo Jingshen.

Cheng Youran sighed. “You’re really… If one day you end up tormenting yourself to death…”

Su Lu smiled. There was no hint of fear in her voice, only a faint smile as she replied, “If that day comes, would you help me collect my corpse.”

After ending the call with Cheng Youran, Su Lu rose from the bathtub, draped a bathrobe over herself, and stepped out.

And then she was startled.

“How did you…” Su Lu looked at the man sitting on the sofa in the suite.

Bo Jingshen raised his chin at the service staff. “Put the luggage in the cloakroom.”

“Alright,” the waiter replied respectfully.

Only then did Su Lu notice that the waiter had also entered, carrying a suitcase and placing it properly in the cloakroom.

Bo Jingshen took out a few bills from his wallet and handed them over as a tip. “Thank you. Close the door.”

The door closed with a click.

Su Lu struggled to react. “You… the room…”

“I canceled it,” Bo Jingshen said.

His deep eyes had already regained clarity, and there was no longer the drunkenness from before.

“If I remember correctly, you agreed to maintain a relationship with me?”

Su Lu pursed her lips tightly and looked at the man’s wicked smile. “In that case, why did I still book an extra room?”

Su Lu was powerless to refute.

She stood in place for a moment and gradually accepted this fact. After all, she had spoken so fearlessly and recklessly on the phone with Youran earlier.

She couldn’t slap herself in the face so quickly.

Su Lu blinked and came back to her senses. She asked softly, “Would you like to take a shower?”

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

Su Lu’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his raised eyebrows. She realized that she had made a mistake!

No, that’s not what she meant at all.

She genuinely thought that after his heavy drinking last night and the restless night spent by the seaside, even though he hadn’t vomited, he must have been uncomfortable. She thought he needed to take a shower to wash away the scent of alcohol and the sea breeze.

But her words seemed too easily misconstrued as a hint.

To be honest, she did not mean that.

“Sure, wait for me,” Bo Jingshen said, a faint arc forming at the corner of his mouth.

After getting a change of clothes from the cloakroom, he went into the bathroom.

There was still some steam in the bathroom, and the steam was wrapped in the same fragrance as Su Lu’s body.

Although he had already sobered up, he felt somewhat intoxicated again.

Initially, Su Lu felt a bit awkward due to the misunderstanding just now. She wanted to wait until he came out of the shower and explain herself.

However, after a sleepless night, she was too exhausted and couldn’t possibly wait for Bo Jingshen to finish showering.

She snuggled into the soft sheets, sinking her face into the plush pillow, and drifted off into a deep sleep.

Bo Jingshen was wearing a dark blue bathrobe. When he came out of the bathroom with a towel of the same color, he saw a woman sleeping soundly on the white bed.

Half of her face was buried in the pillow, and her long hair was spread out on the pillow, but it did not look messy. Instead, it exuded a sense of softness. Her petite body sank into the big bed. Coupled with her small face that was sleeping soundly, she looked as comfortable as she was sleeping on clouds.

Bo Jingshen stopped drying his hair. His eyes darkened, but there was no desire.

There seemed to be a subtle tenderness concealed within his gaze, so deeply hidden that it was barely perceptible.

Even though she was no longer the young woman in her early twenties from five years ago, at this moment, it seemed as if time hadn’t passed for her.

It was as if at a glance, she still resembled the young woman who used to sleep soundly beside him like a child.

Suddenly, the sound of a vibrating phone broke the silence.

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…

But it wasn’t his phone that was vibrating.

Bo Jingshen glanced at her phone, which was lighting up with an incoming call on the table by the window.

Then, he looked back at the woman on the bed, who seemed to have been disturbed and was no longer sleeping peacefully.

Without much thought, Bo Jingshen quickly walked over, picked up the phone, and swiped to answer… Huh? Why did he answer?

A woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “President Su, President Su, help!”
