Chapter 497: Ripples in the Heart
"Y-you-you just... hang it on the door!" Wen Duoduo quickly said.Looking up, he was already standing at the door. His tall and slender figure stood under the orange light, as if surrounded by a layer of brilliance, dazzling and striking.
His amber eyes seemed to be imbued with starlight, sparkling with crystal clarity, deep enough to resemble a vortex...
Wen Duoduo felt her face heat up, and quickly retreated.
Lu Jinyan knew she was shy, so he didn’t tease her, just nodded slightly: "Alright, I’ll just hang it on the door for you."
He hung the clothes he borrowed from the servant on the doorknob for her, and swiftly turned to leave the bathroom.
Facing the white bathroom door, her entire body dared not move, Wen Duoduo feared he might burst in.
Only when his footsteps faded away, and she seemed to hear him closing the bedroom door, did Wen Duoduo finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
Yet, her heart continued to race.
She pressed her hand against her chest, struggling to calm down for a moment.
Then, tightly covering her chest, she stared at the door for a good while, making sure he wouldn’t burst in again, her tense muscles gradually relaxed.
Love in this season always stirs ripples in one’s heart, as if pink bubbles automatically rise around...
However, just thinking about the awkward moment earlier, her cheeks inexplicably turned scorching hot again.
No, no, going out looking like this, how can she face him? Calm down, calm down!
Wen Duoduo took several deep breaths, finally easing her wildly beating heart a bit.
Outside the master bedroom, Lu Jinyan standing at the door wasn’t faring any better.
Having just come out of his room, he exasperatedly gave his forehead a good smack.
Then he leaned a hand against the stone wall outside, taking deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling...
Like a deflated balloon.
Just thinking of that scene a moment ago, he felt something was stirring within him, slowly bubbling out, forcing him to suppress it, to control that warmth inside him, to calm himself.
No denying, Wen Duoduo usually appeared carefree, like a lass with no troubles, but deep down, she was still a delicate young woman...
The suppression didn’t seem very effective, it hardly improved, a warm current relentlessly simmering in his heart, he had to go to the balcony, open the door, allowing the cold wind to flood his system...
Yet the image seemingly rooted in his mind refused to dissipate.
Damn it!
He cursed under his breath, angrily punched the iron railing, emitting a sudden ’clang’ sound that could probably be heard in the next building...
Afraid of drawing the neighbors’ attention, he only went to the guest room next door, standing under the shower, without a second thought, he turned on the tap, letting the icy water splash down.
Instantly, the icy water poured over his body, striking his heated skin.
Lu Jinyan closed his eyes, relishing the cold sensation.
Gradually, feeling the heat within him subside, the restlessness fading away, he finally opened his eyes.
Once the heat within him had completely receded, he finally let out a sigh of relief, exited the guest room bathroom, and found a clean set of clothes to change into.
At the other end of the corridor outside the master and guest bedrooms, Yan Xue stood silently for quite a while.
She had witnessed her son rushing out of the master bedroom, looking pained and shocked, then shortly after, hurried into the guest room...
Her willow-shaped brows slightly furrowed, she turned and went downstairs.
