Putting down the phone, Chi Jun'an chased after Ji Xiaonuan.
Ji Xiaonuan sensed that something was wrong and quickly climbed towards the shore.
But before she could climb up, Chi Jun'an had already caught up. A force came from her waist, and Ji Xiaonuan let out a scream as she fell back into the hot spring again.
She couldn't escape now. Ji Xiaonuan quickly turned around and faced his deep eyes. But now they were filled with flames, and Ji Xiaonuan's heart was pounding like a drum. It was too late for her to regret.
"You little girl, you actually dared to play with fire, huh?" He said in a deep voice.
"I don't dare..." The atmosphere was really too intimidating, and Ji Xiaonuan sensibly showed her timidity. She said timidly, "Chi Jun'an, is it still too late for me to admit my mistake?"
"It's too late!" Chi Jun'an casually held her in his arms.
"No!" Ji Xiaonuan exclaimed, but her cheeks were already as red as a rosy cloud. "Chi Jun'an, I, I'm a bit dizzy. Don't do this..."
"Dizzy? Just in time. Let's do some exercise together." He said in a deep voice.
"I'm serious! I'm really feeling dizzy." Ji Xiaonuan said with a blushing face.
"Ji Xiaonuan!" Chi Jun'an gritted his teeth. "Don't think I don't know you're faking illness!" This time she was asking for trouble, but if she didn't think of a way out, she would definitely be "eaten" by Chi Jun'an! No, no. She could only pretend to be ill now.
Ji Xiaonuan's cheeks became even redder, and she insisted, "I'm not faking it. I'm really not feeling well. Maybe I've been soaking for too long..."
"Ji Xiaonuan!" Chi Jun'an's face darkened even more. This girl! She had stirred him up but then stopped it herself?! He really wanted to just have her right then!
Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her lips as if in punishment.
Ji Xiaonuan opened her eyes wide and stiffly endured the kiss. Although waves of strange flames welled up in her heart, she didn't dare to do anything else to provoke Chi Jun'an.
When the kiss ended, Chi Jun'an let go of her and got out of the hot spring with a dark face.
"Where are you going?" She asked hastily.
"To take a shower." Chi Jun'an said in a deep voice. "Or, do you want us to continue?"
"You go ahead, go ahead." Ji Xiaonuan quickly waved her hand.
This heartless little girl! Chi Jun'an's face darkened even more, and he turned and left.
Ji Xiaonuan touched her still slightly hot cheeks and couldn't help but laugh shyly.
She had actually teased Chi Jun'an like that before... Thinking of this, she shyly patted her face several times. It was so embarrassing! Ji Xiaonuan had never thought that she would do such a thing!
But even so, Chi Jun'an hadn't forced her, and Ji Xiaonuan felt a warm feeling in her heart for no reason.
Ji Xiaonuan also got out of the hot spring. She took a quick rinse, and when she came out tying up her bathrobe, she saw Chi Jun'an waiting for her.
"Not going to soak anymore?" He asked.
"Yeah, it was really comfortable." Ji Xiaonuan nodded.
"Let's go. Let's do something even more comfortable." He curved his lips.
"W-what?" Ji Xiaonuan asked in a flustered manner.
Chi Jun'an took her hand and deliberately remained mysterious, saying nothing.
Ji Xiaonuan followed him nervously. Chi Jun'an led her to a room where there were two massage beds, and two massage therapists were already waiting there.
So he just brought her here for a massage. He even said something about doing something more comfortable...
She looked at Chi Jun'an speechlessly. "Do you like teasing me so much?"
"Isn't a massage something more comfortable?" He chuckled. "Or is it that Xiaoxi, you're thinking of something else? Besides, when it comes to teasing people, compared to you, I admit defeat."
Hearing Chi Jun'an's words that seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, Ji Xiaonuan understood what he was referring to, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
She didn't do it on purpose either. She just thought it was fun... Well, it was indeed her fault.
The two of them lay prone on the massage beds. The massage therapist's strength was just right, and Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help but let out a soft moan of comfort.
Chi Jun'an's face changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaonuan happened to see it and couldn't help but ask him.
"It seems that I need to learn how to give a massage." He said seriously.
"Why?" Ji Xiaonuan asked curiously.
"I don't want others to hear you moan." His eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips curled into a teasing smile. "Once I learn it, I'll give you massages from now on."
Ji Xiaonuan was suddenly extremely embarrassed. Although the two massage therapists were professional enough to pretend they didn't hear anything, she still blushed.
She quickly coughed twice and changed the topic quickly. "That... Just now, Yang Wanrong called. What did she want?"
"I don't know." Chi Jun'an said indifferently.
"You answered the phone. How could you not know?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him in disbelief.
"Ji Xiaonuan," Chi Jun'an looked at her faintly. "I can't be like you and still be able to hear what she said in that situation." Ji Xiaonuan blushed again in embarrassment. Why did Chi Jun'an always like to tease her?
However, she was a bit surprised. Compared to what Chi Jun'an had done to her, what she had done was at most a prank. How could it have made him unable to hear what Yang Wanrong said?
Suddenly, Ji Xiaonuan seemed to think of something, and she looked at Chi Jun'an in disbelief. "Don't tell me... you deliberately let her hear it?"
Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly. This little girl was just a bit slow-witted, but as long as she was willing to think, she could always easily figure out the truth of things.
He had indeed deliberately let Yang Wanrong hear it, also to make her stop pestering them in the future.
"Ji Xiaonuan, it was you who deliberately teased me." He smiled faintly.
She was at a loss for words. It was really like that. Chi Jun'an hadn't forced her to do that. But he had clearly done it on purpose...
Ji Xiaonuan became even more conflicted. She let out an annoyed snort and turned her head to look elsewhere.
"Xiaoxi." He softly called her name.
Ji Xiaonuan remained motionless, pretending not to hear.
"Don't worry. I won't let her bother you again." Chi Jun'an said in a low voice.
Ji Xiaonuan felt a warmth in her heart. Chi Jun'an had done this for her sake.
She wasn't someone who liked to be angry in the first place, and now that little bit of anger dissipated. "Mmm, I trust you." She turned to look at him and said in a low voice.
The massage was so comfortable that Ji Xiaonuan soon fell asleep.
When she woke up, she felt in high spirits.
Chi Jun'an took her out for a whole day. In the evening, when they returned to the Chi residence, the servant greeted them and said, "Young Master, Miss Yang came to look for you today. We told her you weren't here, but she didn't believe it and made a scene."
Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened slightly. "I see. If she comes again in the future, just send her away directly."
The servant quickly agreed.
Ji Xiaonuan's heart sank slightly. Yang Wanrong's pestering of Chi Jun'an had reached an almost terrifying level.
Although she believed that Chi Jun'an could handle it, she always felt that Yang Wanrong definitely wouldn't give up so easily and would surely try every means to undermine them.
