I love you.

After Lu Han finished applying sunscreen on Su Qingli, taking full advantage of the situation, they finally left the room.

"Do you know, Lin Qingyu was very low-key when she was in school. Even though we were close friends, I only found out after graduation that her family owned a hot spring hotel business."

"But she wasn't particularly attractive back then. She had a crush on a senior for a long time and finally mustered the courage to confess, but he rejected her."

"Later, when that senior learned how wealthy her family was, he regretted it so much..."

Su Qingli allowed Lu Han to hold her slender waist as they walked, feeling lighter and more relaxed.

Talking about old times might seem boring, but subconsciously, she wanted to share these stories with Lu Han.

"She should be grateful for her past low profile," Lu Han said calmly. "Otherwise, even if that guy dated her, he would have been interested in her family's wealth, not her."

"Superficial~"

Su Qingli disagreed, glancing at him and saying, "Being with someone you like is enough; why care whether they like you back?"

Hearing this, Lu Han couldn't help but think of Shen Luoyan, who probably had similar thoughts.

They continued chatting as they walked and soon arrived at the hot spring area.

Due to many promotional activities during the trial operation and effective early publicity, there were quite a few people inside.

With her top-tier beauty and flawless, long legs, Su Qingli instantly drew the attention of many men.

The pools were crowded like dumplings being thrown into boiling water. She felt a bit regretful, wishing they had stayed in their private suite instead.

But since they were already there, they chose a relatively less crowded pool.

As soon as Su Qingli sat down, she noticed people either leaving or moving away from her.

Confused, she realized they were reacting to Lu Han's scars.

Indeed, they were quite frightening—nothing compared to tattoos of dragons or tigers. But thinking of how Shen Luoyan pursued Lu Han despite knowing he was "married," Su Qingli decided not to worry too much.

If that woman could do it, why couldn't she?

Lu Han didn't know Su Qingli had made up her mind. He was lying back, resting his head on a towel with his eyes closed.

Submerged in the warm, flowing water, he felt incredibly relaxed.

Suddenly, he heard a light sound and opened his eyes, immediately stunned.

Su Qingli stood before him in a moon-white three-piece swimsuit, showcasing her perfect figure.

The thin fabric barely covered the essentials, tied with strings that could easily come off.

"Aren't you worried about me?"

Lu Han thought Su Qingli had gone mad, daring to wear such revealing clothing. Did she really see him as a chaste gentleman?

"You... don't misunderstand, I just feel more comfortable like this."

Su Qingli's face flushed red as she stepped into the hot spring.

But as soon as she reached Lu Han, he gently pulled her, causing her to lose balance.

Instinctively, Su Qingli let out a soft cry, falling into Lu Han's arms.

Just as she was about to protest, he kissed her lips.

"Mmm..."

Having been kissed by Lu Han many times, Su Qingli was no longer a novice. She immediately parted her lips, allowing him to explore her mouth.

This time, Lu Han's kiss was more aggressive. His hands weren't idle either; her back was exposed except for a thin string, smooth and inviting.

One hand caressed her back while the other squeezed her firm buttocks through her swimsuit, marveling at their elasticity and texture.

Who could resist such temptation?

Just as Lu Han was about to discreetly remove the annoying string, Su Qingli, as if sensing it, grabbed his hand.

"Lu Han, can you just hold me quietly for a moment?"

Su Qingli slightly lifted herself, forcing an end to the prolonged kiss, her expression a mix of shyness and resentment.

"Alright..."

Lu Han conceded, his gaze shifting downward. Due to her position, he could see the deep cleft between her snow-white thighs...

Her size seemed similar to Shen Luoyan's, though not as fair, still an exquisite sight.

"Big rascal~"

Su Qingli noticed Lu Han's gaze and quickly lay down.

The warm water, his solid chest, and resting her head on his shoulder made her feel incredibly comfortable.

For a moment, the private hot spring was silent.

Su Qingli closed her eyes, listening to Lu Han's strong heartbeat.

After a while, she whispered, "Lu Han, there's something I need to tell you."

"Hmm?"

"I love you."
