What nonsense was she talking about? Yan Xi felt that she was about to burn up. Before Gu Shen could say anything, she took her clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
“I’ll shower first.”
Gu Shen looked at her back and smiled.
Yan Xi dawdled for a long time before she came out.
Her expression had returned to normal, but her heart was still unable to calm down.
Staring at the big bed under Gu Shen, Yan Xi finally realized that they were going to sleep on the same bed tonight.
The redness that had just subsided surged up again. After all, she had never slept on the same bed with a man before, and the first time was with a handsome man like Gu Shen who was extremely close to her ideal type.
Yan Xi touched her nose, thinking to herself, “Will I roll onto Gu Shen in the middle of the night?
“Why are you standing there?” Gu Shen teased. “Why is your face so red?”
“No, I am just.” Yan Xi found an excuse. “It’s just a little hot and the bathroom is a little stuffy.”
The smile in Gu Shen’s eyes deepened. “Got it. Time to sleep.”
“Oh.”
Before she hopped in bed, someone knocked on the door again. Yan Xi went to open it.
The servant standing outside the door picked up the bag and handed it over respectfully.
“Fourth Madam, this is what Second Master sent to you as an apology. He hopes that you won’t take offense to what he did to you today.”
Yan Xi was a little surprised. Gu Cheng, who was known to be a stubborn guy and never apologized to anyone, would actually make an apology to her.
After thanking the servant, Yan Xi took the bag in and opened it. Inside was a tube of ointment and a lipstick gift box.
“Second Master actually gave me a gift?” Yan Xi sounded surprised as she placed the things on the bedside table. freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)
Gu Shen glanced at her. “He was in the wrong today, so he is supposed to make an apology one way or another.”
“It’s normal for others to do so but not for Second Master.” Yan Xi said as she opened the gift box. Inside were ten different types of lipstick from big brands.
She opened one excitedly and her smile froze when she saw it clearly.
In front of her was a bright pink lipstick with tiny glitter. It was even more gorgeous than the crystal ball she’d seen as a child.
But if it was used on the lips, it would be a disaster.
Second Master’s taste was really unique. She opened another one. It was an even brighter pink color.
Yan Xi didn’t believe it and opened the remaining ones. There were now ten pink lipsticks lining up on the table, each one brighter than the last. One of them was even covered in pink diamonds.
She said helplessly, “There is no way that Second Master has a girlfriend.”
“No.” Gu Shen thought about it. “I think there was one a few years ago but they broke up for some reason.”
“Good breakup.” Yan Xi looked a little dazed. “Who doesn’t break up when they see these pink lipstick?”
Gu Shen’s gaze landed on the row of lipstick and he looked slightly puzzled, thinking to himself, “Aren’t these pretty?”
Yan Xi flipped through the pink lipstick even more and almost forgot about the ointment.
It was Gu Shen who picked it up. He looked at the instruction manual seriously before unscrewing the bottle and squeezing out some cotton swabs.
“Come and try the ointment.”
Yan Xi recalled the awkward scene earlier and blushed. “It’s alright, I’m already fine.”
Gu Shen’s tone was firm. He repeated, “Come here.”
“Then be gentle and just use a little bit of it.”
Gu Shen raised his hand and rubbed his fingers against Yan Xi’s cheek.
“Okay, got it.” (f)reewebnovel
Yan Xi felt the touch and panicked. “You! Be careful!”
