You also need to apply sunscreen when taking a hot spring bath.

"Did I scare you?"

Lu Han spoke softly, having anticipated Su Qingli's reaction.

These scars were indeed frightening, but fortunately, Shen Luoyan and Lu Xue didn't seem to mind them.

"These scars of yours..."

Su Qingli's face was full of concern as she approached Lu Han, gently touching his scars with her slender fingers.

Her hands were still a bit cold from being in the room for only a short while, causing Lu Han to instinctively tense his abdominal muscles.

"Did I hurt you?"

Su Qingli quickly withdrew her hand, her tone turning slightly nervous.

"No."

Lu Han answered her previous question, saying, "I had some tough years outside, and that's how I got these."

He remained casual about it; he truly disliked using his past hardships to gain sympathy.

"Does your father know?"

Su Qingli asked another question. Seeing Lu Han nod, she couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Lu Zhensheng.

Three billion wasn't enough; even three hundred billion wouldn't be sufficient.

Of course, this wasn't something that could be measured by money. Su Qingli said softly, "It's okay, I don't mind."

As if to prove she wasn't lying, she leaned over and kissed Lu Han's chest near his shoulder.

It was a round scar, much darker than the surrounding skin, likely left by a severe injury.

Lu Han thought Su Qingli was trying to comfort him and didn't think too much of it.

"Alright, we came here to have fun, let's not talk about unhappy things."

Su Qingli knew the truth wasn't as simple as Lu Han made it sound, but she didn't plan to press further. She bent down to retrieve sunscreen from her suitcase.

"Help me apply this."

She handed the sunscreen to Lu Han and sat on the bed, resting her long legs on his knees.

With both hands supporting herself behind her, her body tilted slightly backward, making her chest appear more prominent.

This bold move made Su Qingli blush. If Lu Han took advantage of the situation to touch her, should she cooperate or not?

However, she was a bit disappointed when nothing like that happened.

"Do we need sunscreen for the hot springs too?"

Lu Han laughed, thinking it wasn't necessary since they weren't going to the beach for sunbathing.

"Of course, we do."

Su Qingli explained, "Some of the hot springs are outdoors, and today's sunlight is strong. If we stay in the water for too long, there might be a color difference."

It's similar to how exposed arms get tanned during summer when wearing short sleeves.

Lu Han understood and thought women were quite meticulous, but he squeezed some sunscreen onto his hands.

When his large hands touched Su Qingli's legs, he could feel her slight tension, which quickly relaxed.

This was the first time Lu Han directly touched her long legs, and the texture was indeed good—soft and smooth like jade.

Though he had thoughts of taking advantage, he applied the sunscreen very attentively and carefully.

He even included her cute, tender toes, which seemed to tremble slightly from the tickling sensation.

"Can you... kiss it?"

Su Qingli shyly asked.

Lu Han's hands seemed to have a magical effect. Watching him caress her legs so delicately, Su Qingli felt her heart melting.

She was willing to let Lu Han enjoy her legs, but she felt this level of intimacy wasn't enough and wanted closer contact.

"What?"

Lu Han looked up, wondering if he had heard correctly.

"Kiss... my leg."

Su Qingli bit her lip, feeling her face burning.

She thought he meant kissing her feet, but it turned out to be her leg.

Finding no reason to refuse, Lu Han said, "Another perk for me, then I won't hold back."

He lowered his head and started kissing from her ankle, moving up her calf to her thigh, stopping just at the edge of her swimsuit skirt.

Su Qingli's skin wasn't as delicate as Shen Luoyan's, so no light pink marks were left, but the "texture" was genuinely good.

"Mmm~"

Su Qingli closed her eyes and leaned back, unable to suppress a soft moan.

Lu Han did the same to her other leg, sucking and nibbling the soft flesh before stopping.

Just as he lifted his head, she kissed him on the mouth.

Unable to control her emotions, Su Qingli extended her tongue for Lu Han to taste and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Their lips intertwined, and Su Qingli's breath quickened, her mind dizzy, feeling surrounded by romantic bubbles, enjoying every moment.

However, Lu Han found it a bit uncomfortable, as her arms were tightly around his neck, and bending over was tiring.

He simply hugged Su Qingli's waist, lifting her into his lap.

At this height, Lu Han continued kissing while letting his hands roam freely over her body.

Su Qingli felt Lu Han pulling at her swimsuit straps but hesitated only briefly before cooperating, letting out soft moans as they became more intimate.

They lost track of time, and Su Qingli finally pushed Lu Han away gently, feeling her mouth sore.

She quickly adjusted her straps and playfully scolded, "Big rascal, always bullying me."

"You've already been touched, what's there to fear in seeing?"

Lu Han smiled teasingly, "Besides, I didn't force you; you willingly walked into the tiger's den."

He then sniffed his hand, savoring the unique scent of a woman.

"You're annoying~"

Su Qingli blushed and lightly punched Lu Han's chest twice.

Realizing their intimate position, she noticed a slight discomfort beneath her.

Being an adult woman, Su Qingli knew what this meant.

Feeling flustered, she quickly moved off Lu Han.

But as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs felt weak, almost causing her to stumble.

Fortunately, Lu Han caught her in time, preventing an embarrassing fall.

"Naughty man, you didn't finish applying the sunscreen and already took advantage of me."

Despite her words, Su Qingli lay down on the bed.

Since they had already become so intimate, she didn't mind being taken advantage of by her beloved.

Touching was fine; it wouldn't cost her anything.

Su Qingli thought this was perfect. Delicious things should be savored bit by bit.

They had three whole days, plenty of time.

She wanted to take things step by step, gradually reaching a natural conclusion with Lu Han.

Hmm...

No rush.
