Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 602 - 216: Bai Weixi’s QQ Battle Robe, The Jealous Little Moon

At night, Li Yuan drove Bai Weixi back to the Emerald Mansion complex.

As soon as they entered, Li Yuan could no longer restrain the stirring within him and began to act without inhibition. He swept Bai Weixi up in a princess carry and tossed her onto the large bed in the bedroom.

Bai Weixi quickly pushed him away with her hands, exclaiming, "Husband, I haven’t showered yet! I’ll go shower first."

Li Yuan pounced on her, his hands beginning to roam freely as he chuckled, "It’s fine, we don’t have to!"

Bai Weixi huffed, forcefully pushing away his heavy body as she said shyly, "Hmph, no! If I don’t get clean, it’s easy to get an infection. You need to wash up, too."

Seeing that Li Yuan was still determined to have his way, Bai Weixi grew anxious and quickly played her trump card. "Husband, don’t you want to see me in the new lingerie I bought today?"

"I do!" Li Yuan’s eyes lit up. The image of Bai Weixi in that new lingerie flashed through his mind, and his breathing quickened. With her figure and looks, she would have a unique allure in the Victoria’s Secret lingerie. It would lead to a much better experience "playing cards," with an added bonus...

Bai Weixi grunted, "Hmph, if you want to see, then you have to shower first!"

Li Yuan reluctantly stood up. "Hehe, fine. We’ll shower together."

Bai Weixi instantly saw through his naughty intentions and huffed, "No, the bathroom is too cramped. I’ll go first, then you can go."

Images from the last time they had performed "Water Magic" together floated through Li Yuan’s mind, making him itch with anticipation. He even recalled how his de facto mother-in-law, Yang Jinyu, had apparently been eavesdropping from around the corner...

Although he wanted to experience "Water Magic" again, Bai Weixi was right. The bathroom in this Emerald Mansion apartment was indeed a bit small and genuinely uncomfortable. A 160-square-meter apartment, minus the shared areas, was only about 130-plus square meters. It contained four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large open-plan kitchen, and a living room with north-south exposure. To most ordinary people, this was definitely a luxury home, but to him, it was just average now.

In my mind, a true luxury home should be a standalone villa of four to five hundred square meters, or a top-floor flat or duplex of a similar size. In Modu in 2008, a property like that would be valued in the tens of millions. For example, the standalone villa I saw by the river when I first arrived in Modu was priced at over twenty million yuan—an undoubtedly sky-high price at the time. Of course, in another ten years or so, a twenty-million-yuan house in Modu would only be considered upper-middle class. A decent four-bedroom apartment in a good part of the city would cost ten to twenty million. As for standalone villas, top-level flats, and duplexes, their prices would likely be ten times higher, and you couldn’t even be sure you could buy one. They are symbols of status and position.

Li Yuan gently patted Bai Weixi’s perky bottom and reminded her, "Bai, go take your shower, but don’t forget to put on your battle robe..."

"You naughty man!" Bai Weixi huffed before quickly getting out of bed. Grabbing the new Victoria’s Secret lingerie she had bought that afternoon, she shyly ran into the bathroom.

Li Yuan rubbed his chin, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom and watching the faint, alluring shadow moving behind the frosted glass.

This house is a little small, and the bathroom is too cramped. There are so many positions we can’t try. We need a huge bathtub, at the very least. An outdoor swimming pool would be even better. The ’Water Magic’ experience would improve dramatically... The mansions of those NBA stars in the Ugly Country are the real top-tier luxury homes. I can’t afford one now, but it’s time to upgrade to a better mansion. Once ’Honor of Kings’ is released and I have enough capital, maybe I can invest in real estate and build a true super-mansion.

As Li Yuan was lost in thought, he eagerly awaited Bai Weixi’s new battle attire.

Before long, Bai Weixi emerged. With her hair still damp and a bathrobe wrapped around her, her long, slender legs were on full display. She shyly approached Li Yuan, her heart pounding as she murmured softly, "Husband, I’m done!"

"Hold on, I’ll go rinse off!" Li Yuan hurried into the bathroom. Less than two minutes later, he was washed up and back in the bedroom. Looking at the delectable Bai Weixi, Li Yuan smirked, swept her up in a princess carry, and tossed her onto the bed...

That night, the lights remained on until dawn. Li Yuan experienced the power of the Victoria’s Secret battle robe, and Bai Weixi cooperated with all her might. As a result, even with his robust physique, he woke up the next morning with a slight ache in his waist and abdomen.

「The next day,」

Li Yuan looked at Bai Weixi, who was clutching his arm in a drowsy state, and said apologetically, "Bai, I have some other things to take care of today, so I can’t stay with you."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Bai Weixi’s gorgeous face changed in an instant, like a performer in a Sichuan opera, shifting to one of reluctance. Her sexy, charming eyes grew watery, and she looked as if she was about to cry as she stared intently at him. "Husband, can’t you spend a little more time with me today?"

Li Yuan patted her head and cleared his throat. "Bai, I really do have something to do today. There’s a contract at the company that I need to negotiate in person."

Bai Weixi gave him a resentful look and said sourly, as if she’d just sucked on a lemon, "And here I was thinking you were rushing off to see *her* the moment you woke up!"

According to the agreement the four of them had made on the athletic field on Friday afternoon, today was Li Yuan’s turn to take Zhong Tingyue home to meet Empress Dowager Xia. Yet here he was, rushing to leave at only eight or nine in the morning.
