It turned out that she had worried for nothing.

Li Shengxiao wasn’t angry. In fact, when he heard her take the initiative to ask, his mood even improved somewhat, so much so that even the manager of the hot springs resort sensed the air wasn’t as cold anymore.

“A friend’s sister,” he answered casually, as if she was someone unimportant, and took Rong Yan’s hand. “Let’s go, we should head inside.”

The manager of the hot springs resort was almost doubting his own eyes—was he seeing things?

Who was this woman that Mr. Li actually spoke with a tone of indulgence?

The woman that could make the notoriously cold Mr. Li show indulgence… He felt he knew too little about this important figure. It seemed he needed to go out and gather some new information. Otherwise, if another incident like today’s occurred, he might not be able to keep his job as manager!

Before enjoying the hot springs, one must change clothes.

Guided by the staff, Rong Yan went to her room to change into a different outfit. It took her quite a while before she came out, uncomfortable, wrapped in a bath towel.

The female staff who had helped her change suppressed a giggle and whispered to her, “Miss Rong, don’t worry, you look very nice in this swimsuit. It suits you well. You don’t need to wrap yourself in a towel; you could just show it to Mr. Li.”

Rong Yan clutched her bath towel tightly and refused to let go. “Forget it, it’s cold outside. I’ll wait until we get to the hot springs.”

“Alright then.” Although the female staff really wanted her to show it to Li Shengxiao, since Rong Yan was unwilling to remove the towel, she didn’t press the issue and led her outside. “Please follow me, the hot spring pool is this way!”

Li Shengxiao had a private hot spring pool. Although he rarely came here, that pool was never open to the public.

Therefore, a guide was necessary to find it.

Wrapped in her bath towel, Rong Yan followed the female staff member toward the pool.

They had only made it halfway when they heard the annoyed complaints of two people coming towards them.

“We were enjoying ourselves; why do they insist on us leaving? Does the manager have a problem? They know who we are and yet dare to be so arrogant. Just because Mr. Li is here? Siyuan, Mr. Li is your brother’s friend; you’re so familiar with him. Doesn’t he know he’s being unreasonable?”

Who else could be leading the way but Shen Siyuan?

Since the previous night, she seemed much more haggard, lacking her usual elegance and confidence. However, due to her good upbringing and natural charm, she still looked spirited overall.

But anyone who knew her could tell she was absent-minded at the moment. Hearing her friend’s complaint, she responded perfunctorily, “It’s normal for Shengxiao not to want to be disturbed.”

Xu Chun pouted, her complaint tinged with dissatisfaction. “But you’re not an outsider, and your relationship with Mr. Li is different from others. Everyone knows you’re the designated future Mrs. President of Li Group. He actually offended you. Isn’t that a sign of a problem with his brain?”

The moment the future Mrs. President title was mentioned, Shen Siyuan was reminded of the humiliating episode from the night before. Her heart suddenly tightened, and her voice inadvertently rose, “Enough! Don’t talk about it anymore. I’m not going to soak anyway. If you want to stay, then stay and soak by yourself!”

Xu Chun was startled by her reaction. Seeing that she seemed angry, even though she didn’t understand why, she still took her arm. “I won’t say it again, don’t be mad. Really, you’re too protective of Mr. Li. You haven’t even gone public with your relationship and you’re already defending him like this. In the future when it’s out in the open, won’t you be completely under his thumb? Men, you can’t spoil them too much.”
