Chapter 666 - 665: Finally Cured of the Poison
"Hehe." Having gotten a satisfactory answer, Jiang Yufan stopped asking but dared not look at Chen Tianlong anymore. By this time, the potion had turned dark, and Jiang Yufan was startled, quickly saying, "Chen Tianlong, this water has turned black."
"Hmm." Chen Tianlong had also noticed it. However, Wan Qi had said the water would eventually turn black. Now that it’s turning black so quickly, does that mean they can leave the bathtub ahead of schedule?
Even though there was a beautiful woman accompanying him in the bathtub, soaking for three days and nights had caused swelling and discomfort. Yufan must be feeling uncomfortable too. Having her suffer alongside him, Chen Tianlong felt a bit guilty.
The water kept turning darker, and by around ten o’clock on the second night, it had almost completely turned black.
At this moment, Wan Qi came to deliver food and furrowed her brows upon seeing the situation. She never expected Chen Tianlong’s detoxification capabilities to be this strong. Most people took at least three days and nights to expel the poison completely, but now the whole bathtub had already turned black like this.
So she said, "Chen Tianlong, if the color of the water doesn’t continue to darken after another hour, it means the poison has mostly been cleared, and you two can come out for a bath."
"Ah? It’s been just one day and night, hasn’t it? Why so fast?" Chen Tianlong asked in surprise.
"Oh, if you think it’s too fast, you can continue soaking, after all, you two are having so much fun." Wan Qi said with a mischievous smile, turning around and walking out the door.
Jiang Yufan noticed her grandmother’s expression and her remark about having fun, realizing that she must have been spying on them. She grumbled inwardly, "Humph, annoying grandma, secretly monitoring us."
"Yufan, according to grandma, in an hour I’ll be able to determine whether we can come out. That’s great." Chen Tianlong obviously felt happy.
"Oh," Jiang Yufan responded blandly, not appearing as excited.
Chen Tianlong seemingly saw through Jiang Yufan’s thoughts; opportunities like this were indeed rare. About to leave soon, he suddenly felt a bit reluctant.
"Uh... after we finish bathing, can we sleep together?" Chen Tianlong felt that since he had agreed to marry Jiang Yufan as per her grandmother’s wishes, it was only natural to sleep together.
"Gah?" Jiang Yufan was taken aback but then realized her reaction was overly exaggerated. Truth be told, Chen Tianlong’s proposal was also what she had in mind.
But as a girl, she was inherently reserved. This thought was merely a thought; she dared not really propose it. But since Chen Tianlong took the initiative to bring it up, things were different.
Jiang Yufan bit her lip and teased jokingly, "Sure, but you’ve just expelled the poison, can you handle it?"
"Oh, it’s just sleeping, how can’t I handle it?" Chen Tianlong paused and asked.
"Hehe, what do you think?" Jiang Yufan found teasing Chen Tianlong amusing. It turned out sometimes Chen Tianlong could be quite cute and adorably naive.
"Oh... hehe, that’s up to you." Chen Tianlong seemingly realized something, immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly.
"Humph, who’s afraid of whom." Jiang Yufan clearly shed her shyness; at this point, the two of them could be considered a couple, speaking boldly.
"Alright, then let’s have a showdown to determine the winner." Chen Tianlong grinned and said.
"Ok."
The two of them continued chatting back and forth like this, and before they knew it, an hour had passed. Chen Tianlong looked at the potion and noticed no change compared to before. After thinking it over, he reckoned it was probably alright.
"Yufan, let’s go out; it seems the poison is completely cleared." Chen Tianlong suddenly said.
"Ah? So soon? Alright, let’s quickly go shower." Jiang Yufan suddenly felt a bit excited about what comes after showering, having found the dark water somewhat scary, although her grandma assured her it posed no harm to her.
This time, Chen Tianlong went out first, and Jiang Yufan deliberately covered her eyes. But when Chen Tianlong headed to the changing room, she sneaked a peek at his broad back and triangular physique, finding it somewhat surprising.
This could almost be compared to those male models.
Just as Jiang Yufan wanted to glance downward, Chen Tianlong suddenly entered the changing room, which made her gasp, feeling her face flush and inwardly calling herself ****.
After a short while, Chen Tianlong finished showering, changed clothes, and came out. He brought an extra towel from the bathroom, walked to the bathtub, and handed it over, saying, "Here!"
Jiang Yufan was momentarily stunned and then opened her eyes, seeing Chen Tianlong already dressed and wearing a bitter smile. Taking the towel, Jiang Yufan, somewhat embarrassed, said, "Uh... Chen Tianlong, could you turn around?"
"Aha, do I have to turn?" Chen Tianlong grinned mischievously and asked.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yufan immediately changed her expression, feigning anger, glaring at Chen Tianlong.
"Ah? Well... guess I have to turn." Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly, hurriedly turning around.
Seeing Chen Tianlong had turned, Jiang Yufan slowly stood up, looked at herself, remembered Chen Tianlong complimenting her beauty earlier, and blushed slightly.
But now, looking at herself, she indeed seemed quite beautiful. She wrapped the towel around her chest and headed towards the changing room.
Chen Tianlong sensed Jiang Yufan had left and opened his eyes, moving to sit on a nearby chair. Hearing the sound of running water in the washroom, Chen Tianlong daydreamed a bit.
But this was just a fleeting thought; after all, he carried quite a bit of responsibility. If it weren’t for being forced into this situation, he wouldn’t have involved Jiang Yufan. Fortunately, Yufan was in Yunfu, presumably not a target for others.
With this in mind, Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief, patiently waiting for Jiang Yufan to come out of the bathroom.
The wait lasted for half an hour, and Chen Tianlong was a bit surprised at how long women took to shower. If he hadn’t heard the sound of running water inside, he might have thought Yufan had fainted in the shower room.
Normally, Jiang Yufan took only around ten minutes to shower. But today was different; having soaked in the Gu Poison water, the more she thought about it, the more dirty she felt, so she showered for a bit longer. After washing, she suddenly recalled she’d be sleeping with Chen Tianlong later; she definitely wanted to ensure she was completely clean. So, she used a lot of shower gel, trying to wash herself thoroughly clean and smelling fragrant.
Another ten minutes passed, and suddenly the bathroom door opened. Jiang Yufan emerged, wearing sleepwear, her hair casually draped over her fragrant shoulders. Her graceful figure made Chen Tianlong gasp.
"Chen Tianlong, I’m ready. Once I’m back in my room, I’ll blow-dry my hair, and we can almost sleep," Jiang Yufan glanced at the wall clock, which was nearly eleven.
"Hmm, alright."
Although Chen Tianlong felt his blood pumping, this sort of thing couldn’t be rushed. Besides, his main girlfriend was Wu Mengting, and nothing had happened between them. How could he with someone else—it wouldn’t be proper.
About ten minutes passed, and the two sat on the bed, gazing directly at each other. This battle would determine the winner; if Chen Tianlong lost, he wouldn’t be able to hold Jiang Yufan while sleeping.
