Chapter 3

The man had just taken a shower and his body was still wet. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist.

His perfect golden ratio body was so breathtaking that even with just his upper body exposed, it showcased the utmost masculine beauty.

His slim appearance while dressed and well-built physique when undressed was quite enticing.

Not to mention, the man possessed a perfect and extremely captivating face, with cold and profound features that naturally exuded a sense of aloofness.

He was truly a rare and exceptional specimen.

Facing the man’s cold and intense gaze, Nan Yan curved her lips and sincerely complimented, “Hey Handsome, nice body~”

There was a hint of chilly indifference in Qin Lu’s eyes. After confirming that this little girl posed no danger, he turned around and walked to the bedside, picking up his robe and leisurely putting it on.

His enticing figure was now concealed.

The belt around his waist accentuated his seductive waistline, and the silk nightgown clung tightly to his body. The neckline exposed a portion of his fair skin, creating a sharp contrast against the black garment.

Nan Yan observed his every move, her nerves tensing up.

He gave off an unfathomable and dangerously alluring aura.

Casually drying his wet hair with a towel, Qin Lu’s gaze once again fell upon Nan Yan.

He strode over to her.

A strong sense of oppression overwhelmed her.

“Poor little thing, how did you get in?” His low, magnetic voice carried a hint of playfulness.

She appeared disheveled and covered in dirt and grime.

There were bruises and scratches on her arms and legs beneath her short skirt.

Her delicate appearance seemed genuinely pitiful.

But her true nature was far from harmless.

Nan Yan innocently blinked her eyes and replied, “I opened the door and came in.”

“Brother, there are bad people outside trying to catch me. Can you please be kind enough to give me shelter?”

Nan Yan didn’t know what her body looked like now. She didn’t even know if she was beautiful or ugly.

However, her current identity was that of an eighteen-year-old girl. She could pretend to be young and pitiful to seek a glimmer of hope for survival.

Qin Lu’s eyes gradually darkened, and his scrutinizing gaze made Nan Yan feel a chill running down her spine.

He was undoubtedly a highly dangerous man!

If she had any other choice, she would have stayed as far away from him as possible.

“Don’t enter the bedroom. Leave on your own tomorrow morning,” he coldly instructed.

Nan Yan had mentally prepared herself to be thrown out, but upon hearing his words, she paused before realizing that he had agreed.

Following that, her beautiful eyes curved, and she meekly said, “Thank you, brother. You are truly a good person!”

Staying here would undoubtedly be much safer than going outside.

The room was spacious, and she only needed to curl up on the sofa for one night.

Qin Lu wasn’t impressed by her deliberate attempt to please him and spoke coldly, “There is a medical kit in the living room and spare pyjamas in the guest room. Take care of yourself.”

“Now, leave.”

Nan Yan immediately nodded, leaning against the wall, limping as she walked out.

This body was already injured, and she had pushed herself to run for so long to escape those people.

Now that she could relax, the consequences of her actions were catching up to her.

If her willpower hadn’t been strong enough, she would have likely been incapacitated already.

Qin Lu watched her struggling figure as she moved, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

How could someone who effortlessly opened his door end up with such severe injuries?

Moreover, most of them seemed to be superficial wounds.

Qin Lu didn’t pay too much attention to it.

If that little girl was sensible enough to stay here for one night and leave, he would accommodate her for one night.

But if she didn’t behave, her fate would be far worse than she could imagine.

Nan Yan entered the bathroom of the guest room and looked at her current appearance in the mirror.

She had a small melon seed face and a beautiful pair of eyes.

However, what on earth was this exaggerated makeup on her face?

Nan Yan used warm water to gradually wash off the makeup from her face. When she looked in the mirror again, she was finally satisfied and smiled.

As someone who was obsessed with looks, if her current appearance was too ugly, she wouldn’t be able to tolerate it and would consider getting plastic surgery.

But now it seemed unnecessary.

Nan Yan also guessed why the fake daughter made the female protagonist apply such heavy makeup every day.

She must be afraid of exposing the protagonist’s true beauty and overshadowing her.

Nan Yan filled the bathtub with water and soaked herself for half an hour.

It slightly alleviated some of the pain, and then she got up.

Wrapping herself in a towel, she went to the living room to find the first aid kit.

While she was searching, the door to the master bedroom opened.

Qin Lu came out to get a glass of water and happened to see Nan Yan, who had just finished bathing.

“Hello, brother.” Nan Yan greeted him with a smile while hugging the first aid kit.

The girl was only wrapped in a towel, revealing her slender white legs underneath.

After being soaked in hot water, the bruises on her body became more visible, with shades of green and purple.

There were also wounds on her shoulders and delicate arms.

Except for her face, it seemed like there was hardly a place on her body that wasn’t injured.

After washing away the cosmetics, her skin appeared clean and clear.

Her beautiful eyes were bright and moist. Under her deliberate pretense of being docile, she was quite likeable.

Qin Lu walked directly to the water dispenser, took a glass of water, and casually said, “If you need anything, call room service and have them deliver it.”

After speaking, he returned to the master bedroom and closed the door.

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow.

The previous docile demeanor disappeared instantly, and her attractive features gained a touch of rebelliousness.

Wasn’t this handsome brother too trusting of her?

Or was it because he was confident in his own abilities that he felt at ease leaving behind an unidentified little girl?

Nan Yan smirked and carried the first aid kit back to the guest room.

She had numerous bruises and several abrasions on her body. It would be too much suffering if she didn’t apply some medicine.

She carefully applied medicine to every wound on her skin and then picked up her phone to call room service.

“Please bring me dinner and a set of women’s clothing,” Nan Yan calmly requested, providing her clothing size along with undergarments and shoes.

On the other end of the line, there was a brief pause when they heard Nan Yan’s room number. Then, the voice on the other end respectfully replied, “Alright, please wait a moment. We will deliver the items you requested soon.”

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

Nan Yan put on her robe and slippers and went to open the door.

“Miss, here are the items you requested!”

The person delivering the items was a man.

His gaze was filled with excitement and astonishment as he looked at her.

“Thank you.” Nan Yan took the items from his hands. “Charge them to the room owner’s account.”

“Oh… alright.”

The delivery person, Wu Yue quickly responded but was about to ask something else when the door was closed on him.

Wu Yue hurriedly took out his phone and made a call.

When the call connected, he exclaimed with excitement, “Madam, there really is a woman in Young Master’s room! And she’s a very beautiful young girl! She looks incredibly attractive!”

“Is this true?” Old Madam’s voice also sounded excited. “Could that rascal have brought someone to play a trick and avoid blind dates?”

“I don’t think so. Madam, that young girl came out of Young Master’s room wearing a robe. It must be real!”

“That rascal has finally come to his senses. Tomorrow morning, you must keep that girl here for me. I’ll rush over immediately!”

“Alright!”
