Chapter 155

Chapter 155 \nT/N: And here’s your usual weekly update!\nAfter Shen Zhen sent Du Qi away, he familiarized himself with the matters of the government office and quickly rubbed elbows with the bailiffs and other minor officials. As someone with extensive experience in the officialdom, this was something that was easily within hand’s reach. Without expending extra effort, he managed to obtain some information regarding the personality and movements of Du Qi and other people in power.

By the time he returned to his new residence, nightfall had already settled in.

Chu Jiao had been patiently waiting for a long time for Shen Zhen’s return, however, seeing that it was already late, she had her meal with Lin Wenyue first and instructed the kitchen to set aside some leftovers for Shen Zhen to eat when he got home.

After being on the road for about half a month, Chu Jiao was travel-worn and weary. Feeling extremely unsanitary, she eventually decided to instruct the newly bought servants to boil water and prepare a nice bath after she finished her meal.

The maids considerately filled the tub with hot water and even spread a few fresh rose petals.

Despite her being in an ancient world for a second time, Chu Jiao was still not used to having a personal attendant stay by her side. Once the servant was finished preparing, Chu Jiao had asked her to withdraw.\nShe removed her clothes and cautiously stepped into the tub.

Hot water spilled out of the tub as the girl’s fair body plunged into it and a comfortable moan leaked out of her mouth.

Cupping the warm water in her hands and pouring it onto her shoulders, Chu Jiao languidly soaked in the relaxing bath when suddenly a pair of strong hands reached out from behind her and enclosed around her upper body.

“Ah!!”

Chu Jiao yelped in surprise but upon seeing the arm, she immediately recognized who was the person behind her.

“How old do you think you are already!” She playfully smacked the man’s arms, “And you’re still teasing me!”\nShen Zhen’s head laid down on the crook of Chu Jiao’s shoulder as he feverishly blew on her ear, “You didn’t wait for this Lord.” His tone sounded extremely bitter.

Chu Jiao could only assume that he was referring to the matter of eating supper together, “I still need to deal with your younger sister-in-law. If I didn’t have dinner early, she would’ve starved.”

“Why do you even bother with her?” From the start, Shen Zhen did not hold any good feelings towards Lin Wenyue who appeared out of nowhere and disrupted their two-person world. It was already enough for his little girl to worry about him only, “This Lord…was referring…to taking a bath….”

As he spoke, his hand mischievously continued to slide down towards the proud peaks submerged underwater, “Why did you not wait for this Lord to get in together?”

Chu Jiao was once again rendered dumbfounded by her newfound knowledge of Shen Zhen’s shamelessness.

Purposely lowering her shoulders to immerse her entire body underwater, the soaped skin smoothly threw off the confinement of the man’s arms akin to a fish slipping out of a fisherman’s hands.\n6th world Ongoing
