Chapter 11 Should I Scrub His Back?

Ji Huan's words, on the surface, were for Lin Tianyu's benefit, asked casually, but those astute eyes never left Old Madam and Lin Tianyu.

This stepmother, truly an impatient one.

Su Fanxing saw through Ji Huan's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but judge her inwardly.

At the moment, although her face didn't reveal much expression, she was weighing Ji Huan's suggestion in her heart.

Being Lin Tianyu's assistant was indeed a great opportunity to foster affection and trust, but this man, naturally suspicious and heavily influenced by the backstabbing circles of the wealthy, had just had her identity exposed. If she agreed with Ji Huan now, it would probably backfire.

This matter, in the end, did more harm than good.

However, just as Su Fanxing was about to refuse, Lin Tianyu took them by surprise by nodding in agreement.

"Since Tianyu agrees, then let's do it that way."

Old Madam doted on her eldest grandson and nodded this time.

Now, Su Fanxing didn't get the chance to speak; the matter had already been decided.

"Grandma, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Tianyu while doing my job well."

Su Fanxing looked obediently at Old Madam, hoping to take this opportunity to make a good impression.

However, it seemed to be ineffective.

Fortunately, she hadn't held much hope to begin with.

One must not be too aggressive in everything, or it will have the opposite effect.

This she understood.

The night was deepening, and Old Madam usually kept a regular schedule. Had it not been for Lin Tianyu's presence, she would have probably sent everyone away already.

Conveniently, Lin Tianyu spoke up to take his leave before Old Madam did.

Not until they left the Lin family mansion and got into the spacious luxury car did Su Fanxing drop the facade and returned to her true self.

This robotic, expressionless man may have issues with his leg, but his brain and eyes were extraordinary.

After thinking all night, she concluded with one sentence: to form an alliance with a suspicious person, one must never perform!

"You were going to agree to Ji Huan's suggestion? You clearly knew she arranged for me to be by your side to wait for an opportunity to steal from you. I was about to refuse."

Now in the car with no one else around, Su Fanxing could speak freely.

"About to?" The man's thin lips parted slightly, murmuring as he repeated the words that just slipped out of Su Fanxing's mouth. The look, as if contemplating something amusing, and the cold smile that curled his lips, sent a chill down her spine, "In the end, didn't you not refuse? I don't care what your motives are, but being my assistant isn't so easy. Watch yourself."

In conclusion, Lin Tianyu's eyes fiercely pierced Su Fanxing.

Just that one glance let Su Fanxing know that she could speak no more that evening.

Until she returned to the villa, Su Fanxing didn't open her mouth again.

Though she was silent, her mind never stopped. Ji Huan, that ruthless and cunning woman, slippery as an eel in sewage, as long as her foster parents were in her hands, she would not have peace day or night…

"Bang!"

A sudden loud noise jolted Su Fanxing, startling her.

The sound seemed to come from next door.

Could it be that Lin Tianyu had fallen?

No sooner had this thought flashed through Su Fanxing's mind than she got up from the bed and ran to Lin Tianyu's room.

The moment she opened the man's room door, she was stunned.

She had never imagined she would encounter such a provocative scene.

The cold, domineering, and proud young master was lying flat on the ground, without a stitch on!

This looked like he was about to take a bath.

But, wasn't he supposed to have a leg disability? The wheelchair was still at the bedside, yet he was at the bathroom door; how did he manage that?

Su Fanxing glanced briefly around the bedroom, her eyes filling with threads of doubt. Could it be that the young master could walk? Was all this an act?

As this possibility crossed her mind, another noise reached her ears.

Similar to before, it was made by Lin Tianyu.

It looked like he was trying to get up by himself.

However, because he lacked legs as a support, Lin Tianyu tried repeatedly but failed again and again.

"Young Master, don't be anxious, let me help you."

With a turn of her bright eyes, Su Fanxing stepped forward.

Psychological studies show that when people find themselves in a difficult situation and at a disadvantage, they are most likely to believe others.

This was her golden opportunity to gain Lin Tianyu's trust.

"Get lost!"

Before Su Fanxing could take another step, a low growl erupted in the bedroom.

This Young Master...

Really has a foul temper!

Without outsiders around, Su Fanxing didn't need to pretend. If it weren't for her adoptive parents, she wouldn't bother putting up with this attitude.

But 'get lost' was out of the question; she wanted to see how the Young Master, unable to stand on his legs, would manage to get up from the bathroom floor by himself!

Watching the woman nearby adopt a lazy posture and continue standing there as if admiring something, a gaze full of anger and murderous intent shot out from his dark pupils.

With it, a strong aura spread out.

However, these had no effect on Su Fanxing.

They didn't interfere with her enjoyment of the show one bit.

Once, he failed, twice he failed, three times...

Watching the Young Master persevere fail after fail, Su Fanxing's face showed concern, but inwardly she reveled with glee, "Young Master, your body is precious unlike mine. Anyway, I'm now your wife in name, so why not let me help you bathe?"

Su Fanxing said and directly took a step.

"If you dare come over, I'll break your legs!"

With a simple sentence that seemed to be squeezed from Lin Tianyu's back teeth, it was filled with menacing energy.

Hearing this, Su Fanxing actually did stop.

Rarely obedient.

"Push the wheelchair over here."

Lin Tianyu tried again and spoke up once more.

"Alright."

Su Fanxing had no objections to this command.

Just now, she had only wanted to deflate Lin Tianyu's pride a little bit; if the man truly wanted her help, she would naturally be willing.

After all, her plans for the future necessarily involved Lin Tianyu's cooperation.

Although Lin Tianyu was naked at the moment, because he was lying on the floor, certain important parts were perfectly concealed. Su Fanxing boldly pushed the wheelchair over to Lin Tianyu, then backed away and considerately closed the bathroom door.

From the reflection on the door, Su Fanxing didn't expect that even with his leg condition, Lin Tianyu's body was still so agile that he got up from the floor with ease.

Soon, the sound of running water echoed from the shower, and Su Fanxing casually strolled around Lin Tianyu's bedroom waiting for him to come out.

"Su Fanxing, come in."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, causing Su Fanxing to stiffen.

"Young Master, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly," she responded after a moment, her face revealing a hint of wariness.

Hadn't this man just told her not to help him bathe? What did he want now?

"Help me scrub my back."

The man spoke again, Lin Tianyu, usually reserved in words and deeds, reduced his sentence from five words to four, his tone unmistakably im-patient.

Scrub his back?

Upon hearing this, Su Fanxing was taken aback, her heart aflame with anger. Did this damn man think she was a bath attendant?!

Just as Su Fanxing was about to refuse, she was silenced by a chilly word.

"Investment."
