When Qin Zhiyou saw that her brows were deeply furrowed, her face reflecting a struggle akin to an internal battle, he couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire, “You better think carefully, my patience has its limits. If you still can’t give me an answer after I’ve taken a bath, don’t expect me to foot the bill for these garments in the future. Each outfit costs ten thousand yuan, and just to appease my mother, I’ve already spent a fortune.”

After having said this, he adopted a nonchalantly weary demeanor, his voice muted, “I’m off to shower, remember, you only have this much time to think it over.”

With that, he strode to the bathroom and closed the door.

Lu Weixi stood outside, her brows knitted as she looked at the closed bathroom door. After a while, she glanced at the pile of clothes on the bed, her eyes reflecting the turmoil in her mind.

She was hesitating, as was Qin Zhiyou in the bathroom. He had no idea how much of his previous words she had taken to heart, nor whether she would act according to his plans. Even if she didn’t wear the outfit, Mrs. Yang would still ask him to come back more often.

However, even if she agreed, she wouldn’t wear the clothes inside. Thinking about the leopard print and net patterns, he found his body reacting involuntarily.

Qin Zhiyou shook his head, casting away his mischievous thoughts, and quickly turned on the shower, adjusting the water temperature slightly lower.

After his mind was cleared by the shower, he pushed the bathroom door open only to be greeted by her, already changed into a new outfit. The outfits she picked were neatly sorted, those revealing pieces undoubtedly hidden deep in the wardrobe, kept only to appease any potential inspections from Mrs. Yang.

Out of the stack, she had picked the most conservative outfit. But even then, it was still a deep V-neck, reaching down to her chest. With every slight movement, the concealed parts would veer to peek out, adding a tantalizing air of mystery, making it even more appealing than a full reveal. Wearing it, she felt awkward.

Qin Zhiyou gave her a casual glance, especially at the neckline, before abruptly shutting the bathroom door, looking totally indifferent.

When Lu Weixi saw his reaction, she finally exhaled in relief. She was scared that Qin Zhiyou would come over aggressively, which she could not ward off. His indifference now confirmed his earlier statement of being comfortable seeing women in such attire, seeing a wider world indeed had its perks.

Unbeknownst to her, Qin Zhiyou stood behind the door of the bathroom, beneath his bathrobe… Today was only the beginning, he had to control himself. The more he wanted to preserve his benefits, the more he needed to feign indifference. This way, he could continuously enjoy the sight of Lu Weixi changing her clothes and maybe even catch her wearing those enticing little numbers.

After adjusting his emotions and waiting for his calm to return, he opened the bathroom door with an indifferent demeanor. To Lu Weixi, he appeared as innocent as if he’d been purified, his gaze as pure as when seeing a puppy, stone, or tree. Far from approaching her with any intentions, even his gaze seemed as inconsequential as air.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Weixi finally relaxed completely, no longer feeling coy or evasive. After all, a guy who started mixing with all kinds of women in nightclubs at the age of eighteen could hardly be unfamiliar with such a scene. She had overestimated her allure and underestimated his experiences..
