181: Something is wrong, something is very wrong!

Yu Miaoyin's body trembled suddenly, like a startled fawn, her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, spreading from her earlobes all the way to her neck, like the fiery clouds in the sky dyed by the setting sun.

Her eyes darted around in a panic, not daring to meet Lu Chen's gaze, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly like startled butterflies.

Lu Chen slowly straightened up, but his gaze did not leave Yu Miaoyin's face.

His eyes were fervent and bold, like two burning flames, scorching Yu Miaoyin's heart directly.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly into a smile, a smile imbued with innate confidence and a sense of oppression.

Lu Chen turned slightly, simply resting one hand on the back of Yu Miaoyin's chair, enveloping her in his aura.

Yu Miaoyin's breathing quickened, her chest rising and falling slightly, like a flustered little rabbit.

She bit her lower lip lightly, her voice as faint as a mosquito: "You...don't be like this."

Saying this, she tried to turn her head away, avoiding Lu Chen's fervent gaze.

But Lu Chen reached out, gently pinching her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.

His fingers were long and strong, applying slight pressure, making it impossible for Yu Miaoyin to escape. "Why hide?"

His gaze locked tightly onto Yu Miaoyin's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her Soul, "I can feel that you don't dislike it."

Yu Miaoyin's eyes were watery, full of shyness and panic.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the edge of the chair, her knuckles turning white from the effort. "I...I just..." She stammered, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to start.

Lu Chen's gaze slowly moved downwards, resting on Yu Miaoyin's slightly reddened lips.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, as if suppressing some impulse. "Your lips look very tempting." His voice grew deeper, with a hint of hoarseness, like a whisper in the dark night.

Yu Miaoyin's heart rate suddenly accelerated; she could hear her own heartbeat roaring in her ears.

Her cheeks were burning hot, as if about to ignite. "Don't..." she murmured softly, her voice carrying a hint of pleading, yet also sounding like a coy entreaty.

Lu Chen's face slowly drew closer, his breath fanning Yu Miaoyin's face, carrying a faint warmth.

Yu Miaoyin nervously closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly, the blush on her face growing more intense.

Just as Lu Chen's lips were about to touch hers, Yu Miaoyin suddenly opened her eyes and pushed against Lu Chen's chest with both hands.

"No," she said, her voice soft but with an unprecedented firmness.

In her eyes, beyond the shyness, there was a resolute determination to uphold her boundaries.

Lu Chen paused slightly, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but he did not force her.

The corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile: "Alright." With that, he slowly sat upright and started the car.

The atmosphere inside the car remained somewhat delicate, and Yu Miaoyin's heartbeat still hadn't settled.

She secretly glanced at Lu Chen, only to see him driving attentively, his profile resolute and stern, looking even more charming in the dim car lighting.

Lu Chen seemed to sense Yu Miaoyin's gaze; he turned his head slightly to look at her, a faint smile on his lips: "What, regretting it already?"

Yu Miaoyin's face flushed crimson again; she quickly turned her head to look out the car window.

"No...not at all," she mumbled softly, her voice carrying a hint of playful annoyance.

Lu Chen chuckled, his laughter echoing in the car. "Don't worry, I won't tease you anymore."

His tone carried a hint of indulgence, "But, you look really cute when you're shy."

The corners of Yu Miaoyin's mouth curved slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Her fingers gently fiddled with the corner of her clothes, feeling both shy and sweet.

"You always make fun of me," she said softly, but there was no hint of Life Qi in her voice.

The car drove slowly through the night, the streetlights on both sides twinkling like stars.

Yu Miaoyin looked at the night scenery outside the window, but her mind was filled with the image of the man beside her.

She secretly observed Lu Chen from the corner of her eye, wondering what kind of magic this man possessed to make her heart flutter and fluster so much.

The car slowly pulled up to Yu Miaoyin's building.

Lu Chen released the steering wheel and turned to look at her, a gentle smile on his face, breaking the brief silence in the car.

"We're here," his voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the small car cabin.

Yu Miaoyin nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude in her eyes, and softly said, "Thank you."

Her voice was as soft as a spring breeze, carrying a hint of shyness.

Her expression was incredibly sincere.

All the things Lu Chen had done for her, and the immense pressure he had endured to help her Senior Sister, made Yu Miaoyin feel deeply apologetic.

She knew that a simple "thank you" could not fully repay Lu Chen's kindness.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly, his smile growing softer, his eyes full of indulgence: "Why be so formal with me? If you ever need anything, you can always find me."

Yu Miaoyin looked up, her gaze meeting Lu Chen's, her eyes sparkling, as if touched by his words.

"Mm, I'll remember that." She bit her lower lip lightly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a sweet smile.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, the conversation flowing from work to life, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

Every word from Lu Chen carried a unique charm, captivating Yu Miaoyin.

Finally, Yu Miaoyin realized it was getting late. She smiled gently and said, "I should go up now."

With that, she unbuckled her seatbelt, preparing to get out of the car.

Just as she opened the car door, Yu Miaoyin suddenly paused, as if remembering something.

She turned her head to look at Lu Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, her heart rate suddenly quickening.

Lu Chen was slightly puzzled by her sudden movement; he raised an eyebrow and looked at her, his eyes questioning. "What's wrong?" he asked softly.

Yu Miaoyin's cheeks instantly turned crimson, red as a ripe apple, spreading from her earlobes all the way to her neck.

Her hands unconsciously clutched at the corner of her clothes, her fingers trembling slightly, betraying her inner nervousness and shyness.

She hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if summoning immense courage.

Then, she leaned in slightly, moving closer to Lu Chen.

Her movements were gentle and slow, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Lu Chen watched her approach, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, which was then replaced by a deep smile.

He quietly watched Yu Miaoyin, saying nothing and making no move, allowing her to draw closer.

Yu Miaoyin's heart pounded like thunder; she could hear her own heartbeat roaring in her ears.

Her eyes closed slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering rapidly like startled butterflies.

Finally, her lips gently landed on Lu Chen's cheek.

In that instant, she felt her heart stop, and the entire world seemed to shrink to just her and Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's body stiffened slightly, seemingly also surprised by the sudden kiss.

After the kiss, Yu Miaoyin immediately sat upright like a startled fawn, the blush on her face growing even more intense, almost dripping blood.

She dared not meet Lu Chen's eyes, and said in a flustered voice, "Then...then I'll go first."

With that, without waiting for Lu Chen's response, she hastily got out of the car, closed the door, and ran towards the stairwell.

Her steps were flustered and hurried, as if she were fleeing from something.

Lu Chen watched her retreating figure, his eyes full of smiles.

He lightly touched the side of his face where she had kissed him; Yu Miaoyin's warmth seemed to linger there.

He shook his head, chuckled softly, and started the car, driving away.

Meanwhile, after Yu Miaoyin ran upstairs, she leaned against the door, panting heavily.

Her hands covered her face, the heat on her cheeks showing no signs of diminishing.

The scene that had just occurred replayed in her mind, filling her with both shyness and sweetness.

She never imagined she would have the courage to make such a gesture.

After a long while, Yu Miaoyin slowly calmed down, and the corners of her mouth curved into a sweet smile.

Yu Miaoyin slowly sat on the sofa, and as soon as she settled, her face suddenly flushed crimson without warning.

She felt a slight coolness from beneath her buttocks, and only then did she remember that when she got out of Lu Chen's car, her emotions were too flustered, and her body had been tense, so she hadn't noticed that she had already perspired slightly.

Now, the sweat had been absorbed by the fabric, leaving a damp feeling that made her uncomfortable all over.

She bit her lower lip lightly and rose, walking towards the bathroom.

Entering the bathroom, she first approached the bathtub, gently turning on the faucet, and clear water flowed out, making a pleasant sound.

She bent down and took out rose petals from an exquisite box nearby, her fingers lightly pinching them, and the petals drifted into the bathtub like snowflakes.

Soon, the bathtub was covered with a layer of delicate red.

Next, she began to undress.

Her movements were gentle and slow, as if performing a solemn ritual.

First, she unbuttoned her shirt, and the small buttons came undone one by one under the movement of her slender fingers, the shirt slowly slipping off, revealing skin as fair as snow.

She turned slightly, reaching behind her to unhook her bra clasp; in that instant, her shoulders trembled slightly, carrying a hint of a maiden's shyness.

Then, her fingers hooked the waistband of her safety shorts, slowly pulling them down, gradually revealing her long, straight legs.

Ready, she first lightly tested the water temperature with her jade foot.

That jade foot was like it was carved from mutton-fat jade, with round, cute toes and nail beds with a faint pink hue, just like cherry blossoms blooming in early spring.

The water temperature was just right; she slowly stepped into the bathtub, and a steaming mist instantly rose, enveloping her.

Her beautiful figure was faintly visible in the mist, her exquisite collarbones like a new crescent moon, adding a touch of captivating charm in the hazy steam.

Yu Miaoyin leaned comfortably against the edge of the bathtub, scooping up a handful of water and slowly pouring it over her shoulders; the water droplets slid down her skin, sparkling with tiny glints under the light.

Her hair was scattered freely in the water, floating like black silk.

The full curve in front of her was gently covered by foam, and as she moved, the foam subtly rose and fell, outlining alluring curves.

She hummed a cheerful song, her face beaming with a smile like the warm spring sun.

After a while, Yu Miaoyin finished her bath.

She reached for a nearby towel and gently dried her body.

The towel was pink and white, its soft texture clinging to her skin, adding a touch of playfulness to her appearance.

She wrapped the towel tightly around herself, her hair still wet, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks, making her face appear even more delicate and charming.

Yu Miaoyin stepped out of the bathtub, her long, jade-like legs faintly visible beneath the bathrobe, each step light and graceful.

Her snow-white jade feet trod on the floor, leaving faint traces of water, just like her dreamy state of mind at that moment.

Just as she was drying her hair with a towel, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door, and Yu Miaoyin immediately froze, her movements stopping.

Yu Miaoyin was just startled by the knock on the door, and then, an urgent voice penetrated the door: "Miaoyin, are you in your room?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Yu Miaoyin blinked, a hint of confusion flashing in her bright eyes.

She quickly realized that it was none other than her Senior Sister, Luo Qingchen.

She dared not delay, quickly slipping into a soft nightgown, the fabric gently clinging to her skin like a spring breeze.

Then, she wrapped her still-damp hair in a cute hair cap, which had a playful design, adding a touch of naive charm to her.

Her jade feet were still bare, her fair toes showing a faint pink hue under the light, small and charming.

She moved gracefully towards the door, and the moment she opened it, she saw Luo Qingchen's anxious expression.

Luo Qingchen's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were damp with sweat, clinging to her cheeks.

Yu Miaoyin, full of doubt, softly asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Her voice was gentle and melodious, carrying a hint of concern.

Upon seeing Yu Miaoyin, some of the anxiety on Luo Qingchen's face receded slightly.

But when she saw Yu Miaoyin's freshly washed appearance, a tense look reappeared in her eyes, and she quickly pressed, "Are you home alone? Lu Chen isn't here, is he?"

Yu Miaoyin blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

Her face instantly flushed slightly, like the evening glow in the sky, and she shyly lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito: "Of course Lu Chen isn't here, he went home a long time ago."

Luo Qingchen then breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, her tone full of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Yu Miaoyin frowned, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, adding a touch of cuteness: "What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

Luo Qingchen feigned annoyance and said, "You're asking me what's wrong? You didn't answer my calls. What have you been doing all day?"

Yu Miaoyin then remembered and quickly searched for her phone.

She picked up her phone from her bag in the corner of the sofa and saw that the screen was completely black; it had run out of battery.

Her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, with a hint of embarrassment, and she stammered:

"I'm so sorry, Senior Sister, I was at work all day today and didn't check my phone. I didn't realize it had run out of battery."

Luo Qingchen nodded in sudden understanding and said, "So that's it. No wonder no one answered all the calls I made to you today. You scared me."

Yu Miaoyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, don't you trust my abilities? Besides, I have Lu Chen protecting me, so I'm very safe."

Luo Qingchen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The one she was worried about was precisely that guy, Lu Chen!

Luo Qingchen shook her head, said nothing, and just felt a bit physically and mentally exhausted before sitting down on the sofa.

On the other end of the sofa were Yu Miaoyin's clothes that she had just taken off.

Luo Qingchen casually glanced out of the corner of her eye.

Suddenly, she noticed an abnormal dampness on the clothes.

After a moment of stunned, her eyes instantly became alert!

Something's not right!

Something is very wrong!

At this moment, Yu Miaoyin also noticed Luo Qingchen's gaze.

Her eyes widened, and her face immediately turned extremely red!
