Chapter 111 The Temperature Rises

Afraid that he would chase her out, Mu Xia quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't disturb your sleep. I'll just sit in the living room. When the time's up, I…"

"Where's the hair?" Ye Sijue suddenly asked.

Mu Xia was stunned before reacting. She took off her shoes and retrieved a ball of tissue.

The strand of hair which she had secretly plucked from Situ Hai's head was wrapped inside.

Feeling relieved, she said, "Luckily, I was careful enough to hide the hair on my way here. I'm afraid that if I kept it in my pocket, I'd lose it accidentally."

As she spoke, she took out the hair and passed it to Ye Sijue.

He took it disgustedly and said curtly, "Wait." Then, he whipped out his phone and made a call, ["Send someone over. I need to conduct a DNA test."]

Luo Yi, who was on the other end of the call, widened his eyes. He asked in shock, ["No way! Did you fool around outside and get someone pregnant? You aren't that type of man…"]

["I'm not that shameless. Cut the crap and send someone over. I'm in the penthouse suite at Kyoto Hotel. Keep the matter hushed and tell the person to come over secretly."]

With that, he hung up the call.

Mu Xia subconsciously said, "Thank…"

Before she could even finish her sentence, Ye Sijue scratched his ears impatiently and interrupted, "I've told you not to say those two words, right? It's annoying."

She was speechless. "You're really such a…"

He's a kind man, but his style of speaking is really so unlikeable.

"What about me?" Ye Sijue raised his chin and stared at her.

"Nothing." Mu Xia shook her head. "I'm saying that you're a nice guy."

Ye Sijue snorted in disdain. "I don't like you, so you don't need to friendzone me by calling me a nice guy. I'm not a nice person at all."

Looking at him, Mu Xia shook her head and insisted seriously, "No, I really think that you're a nice person. If you're somebody else, I wouldn't have dared to come here."

Ye Sijue frowned.

「If she dares to go to someone else, I'll break her legs.」

Upon the thought of legs, Ye Sijue could not help but stare at Mu Xia's legs.

Her legs were so fair, slender and long that he had an urge to touch them and see how they felt like…

Suddenly, Ye Sijue had a feeling that the temperature in the room had risen.

Gulping, he instructed, "Wait in the living room. I'll take a bath first."

"Okay… You don't have to care about me at all. Just rest well. I'll leave after a while."

Not replying to her, Ye Sijue headed straight to the bathroom.

Mu Xia soon heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

Although she was initially sitting obediently, she started to become restless.

Being alone in a room with another man and listening to him bathing was quite strange to her.

Mu Xia could not help but stand up and pace around the living room. Soon after, the sounds of water stopped and she could hear footsteps coming from the bedroom.

As the footsteps became louder, her heart started to beat even faster.

Feeling frustrated, she clutched her right chest.

「What's going on? Why am I feeling nervous? It's not like anything's going to happen between us.」

However, the more she wished to calm herself down, the more rapidly her heart beat.

When the door was pulled open with a creak, Mu Xia's heart leapt to her throat.

She clenched her fists tightly and swallowed her saliva.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

"The person you've asked to come is here!" Mu Xia stood up, about to open the door.

"Wait!" Ye Sijue strode toward her.
