Chapter 10 Go to Sleep Well_1

Perhaps alerted by the sound of the door, she suddenly froze in place.

She eventually regained her senses and slowly lifted her head. Her innocent little face was greeted with the sight of Lu Ming, standing at the door with a stern face. It took a moment before she reacted and let out another shriek.

Lu Ming's eardrums trembled from the shrill noise. He looked downward to find his toothbrush and shaver drifting in the water on the floor, wading alongside the water flow.

Similarly, bottles of soap, shampoo, and shower gel were floating around in the tub with the water.

"..." Was this woman planning to use up every last drop of shower gel and shampoo in just one bath?

His face darkened further as he roared, "Are you planning to flood the whole house?"

"..." Jing Yiren trembled in response, scanning for her clothes, but they were out of reach.

The floor was so slippery that she had fallen into the water several times. Now, like a terrified deer, she remained stationary at the edge of the bathtub. Flushed with embarrassment, she was entirely exposed to his eyes.

It was just pure curiosity! She had never seen many of these things before, so naturally, she was curious to explore them.

She found that the water could be hot and cold at the same time, unlike her previous experience where she would either have to bathe in the Qinghua Pool or wait for a maid to boil water for her.

Who knew that the water would overflow if left unattended? The noise of the overflowing water stopped when the outlet was submerged, and she was distracted by the various bottles and containers beside the tub.

The contents of those bottles tasted sweet like milk, and she couldn't resist licking them, even though they didn't taste good. She accidentally dropped one into the water, leading to a series of bubbles floating up. Excitedly playing with the bubbles, she completely forgot about the overflowing water.

Lu Ming stepped through the water into the bathroom, turned off the faucet, and then rinsed her with the showerhead.

"It's so cold... so cold!"

Shivering from the cold while her face burned beet red, she was utterly exposed to a man.

Lu Ming grabbed a towel from the side, forcefully lifted her up, wrapped her in it, and then hauled her back into the room like a little chick before tossing her onto the bed.

Pointing at her nose in warning, he said, "If you make another mess, I will kick you out!"

"..." Jing Yiren shrunk into the covers and promptly nodded. She dared not provoke him again.

With that, Lu Ming turned around, stormed out, and slammed the door behind him.

Now alone in the room, Jing Yiren felt somewhat tired after all the commotion.

She popped her head out from the edge of the bed, blew out the bedside lamp, and went to sleep. But for some reason, the damned light just wouldn't go out, no matter how hard she blew, leaving her huffing and puffing.

Resolving to get rid of it, she gave a mighty swat, 'Bang!' followed by a soft 'Ting, ting,' and the light was gone.

Finally, she could sleep.

Jing Yiren fell asleep before she even noticed, and by the time she woke up, it was already daylight. The flooded room had been cleaned up.

She'd had a lot on her mind the previous night and decided that today she would have a serious talk with her 'Uncle.'

After all, it was quite embarrassing that a man had seen her completely naked. Shouldn't she confront him and make him take responsibility?

But she was already his wife. How did he need to take responsibility?

But she was so pure in heart! She was merely 14 and had never even held hands with a man other than the Emperor, her uncle.

God! How could she be so tormented?

Just as she was thinking about it, the door to her room was pushed open, and a woman she didn't recognize stepped in.
