Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Huo Tingzun’s Adam’s apple rolled.

He believed that there wasn’t a man in the world who could remain completely unaffected by a woman sitting on his lap.

If there was, he certainly wasn’t a real man.

He turned his face away with difficulty, avoiding Xiao Bailu’s sharp gaze, stubbornly saying, ”Even if you’re not wearing anything, it’s impossible for you to cause my temperature any change.”

Xiao Bailu: ”...”

Dog man, quite pretentious, huh?

Watch me tear you to pieces!

Just about to make a move.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Xiao Bailu had to suppress the nameless rage in her heart and get out of bed to open the door.

Huo Tingzun suddenly felt his knee was empty, and somewhere in his heart also felt empty.

He faintly heard a man’s voice at the door: ”She brought this for you... Use it as you see fit. Tomorrow’s matters, she will arrange them well, you just follow the plan.”

The man’s voice was very cool and restrained.

Xiao Bailu spoke lazily and with a smile, ”Master Tuantuan, you truly are a great master for Miss Qingxin. How come you feel more considerate than a boyfriend? Running errands for her so late?”

The man made a sound of acknowledgment, and perhaps thinking of something, carried a hint of a smile on his lips: ”Farewell.”

Xiao Bailu warmly said goodbye, ”Master Tuantuan, take care! By the way, thank you for the fish soup. Your cooking skills are really excellent; come to my place sometime, and we can exchange some tips.”

Man: ”Yes.”

After Master Tuantuan left, Xiao Bailu seemed to watch him leave for a moment and did not return to the room for a long time.

This stifled Huo Tingzun in the bedroom, causing a surge of blood.

Turns out the silly woman not only seduced him, she was so gracious and charming to the man outside too.

How could she spread her charms everywhere, so lacking in self-respect?

Even praised the other man’s cooking skills, is being a good cook so remarkable to say it endlessly?

What’s so good about the man outside that makes her so reluctant to part?

He really wanted to drag Xiao Bailu back, but he couldn’t bring himself to go out proactively.

Even more afraid Xiao Bailu would ask him, ”Who are you to have such a say?” which he could not answer.

After a long inner conflict on the bed, he angrily pulled off his forehead cloth, thinking, if the silly woman comes back later and sits on his lap, he would use the cloth to tie her up.

Then...

Humph, what happens next won’t be within her control.

It’s up to him!

He waited for a long time.

Finally, he heard Xiao Bailu’s footsteps, coming step by step back to the bedroom.

Huo Tingzun couldn’t help but lie down properly, staring straight ahead.

Then, he heard the woman lift the covers of the floor bedding and crawl in.

Followed by a series of even breaths, seemingly asleep.

Fell asleep just like that?

Damn, promised to come over and sit on his lap, test his endurance, raise his temperature, right?

Stopping halfway to sleep, what’s her deal?

Under the slightly cool moonlight, Huo Tingzun slowly turned to look at Xiao Bailu grimly.

The woman fell asleep quickly, with long eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow on her face, a high nose leading to delicate little lips, finely crafted and adorable – hard to imagine such beautiful features would be so harshly verbal during the day.

She could have been such a lovely woman.

Tender, beautiful, cherished, without having to be front and center in everything, all fiery.

Her kind of beauty should be well treasured by a man, always protected, never exposed.

Huo Tingzun’s Adam’s apple rolled.

Scalding as though he withdrew his gaze.

In the middle of the night, what’s he doing looking at this silly woman’s sleeping face?

Why thinking all this random nonsense?

He’s truly gone mad.
