Grandpa Mu’s voice echoed in her ears. ‘If the man doesn’t initiate, you, as a woman, should put down your reserve accordingly…’

Her pride was her reserve.

She had once been reserved.

Mu Yazhe was like a carefree yet arrogant gust of wind with that temperament of his, though. In his presence, she was totally lost on how to start a talk and gain his interest.

Since they were kids, he had always been distant toward her. On the one hand he was surely opposed to this marriage, but on the other hand he was probably totally uninterested in her.

Her hands clenched into fists. She slowly stepped forward and questioned, “Zhe, why don’t you touch me at all?”

He slightly widened his eyes, which were cold and piercing, yet he did not spout a word.

She observed him casually pulling off his necktie and removing his blouse before her. From his calm and lackluster expression, she could tell that he was acting as if she were invisible just like the wind.

The embarrassment Mu Wanrou felt was magnified.

Noticing that he was about to enter the bathroom, she hurriedly took a nervous stride forward and, while forcing out a smile, continued her questioning, “Is it because I don’t attract you at all, or is it that I’m not working hard enough…”

She paused for a while and then she suddenly proceeded, “If you want, I can take the initiative.”

He tilted his head impatiently.

BANG! The sound of the bathroom door slamming shut was his reply to her.

Click.

The door was even locked.

Her legs gave way, becoming limp as if they were in a state of prostration. She swept through her hair in irritation. She was hurting too much and she wanted to cry badly, but no tears would come flowing out.

This man had always been this cold to everyone else.

During his teens, he was never friendly to her.

When she first entered the Mu family and saw the man, the younger him gave off a throbbing coldness – he avoided anyone who wanted to get close to him.

She admitted to this.

For such a long time, she consoled herself with the fact that he never had any woman.

However, toward that Yun Shishi, why…

How good was she to actually move this man’s cold heart?

At the thought of this, the rage from within her heart intensified.

No. I have to act fast.

Since that Aaron was so useless, she needed to think of another way to remove that thorn at her side as quickly as possible!

The door to the bathroom slid open.

He stepped out in a cotton bathrobe. His long and lean figure, as well as his sexy and well-defined muscles, was exposed from the slightly open neckline.

He seemed more poised and sumptuous now.

His damp hair appeared to be a little disheveled, but it did not diminish his handsomeness; rather, it accentuated his attractiveness.

Seeing that she was still around, a trace of detest flashed past his eyes.

“Why are you still here?”

She mumbled, albeit cautiously, “Grandpa told me… to sleep in your room tonight.”

“With me?” the man questioned her emotionlessly. He casually lit a cigarette and drew in a deep breath.

He seldom smoked, unless there was an important social event or he was feeling extremely frustrated.

She could tell that, tonight, he was not in a good mood.

She, nonetheless, had a sudden bout of stubbornness and would not budge.

“Zhe, you’re still probably not ready. I don’t want it to happen this fast as well… but grandpa’s physical condition isn’t very good, and I can only go according to his wishes! He insisted on me doing this! I don’t wish to anger him, as I’m afraid that it will aggravate his condition!”

He squinted his winsome eyes in scrutiny of her.

She actually brought out such a pompous reason! What a joke!

“Zhe… will you take me?”

She shyly and gently undid the buttons on her dress and slowly shifted closer to him.
