The water temperature in the hot spring pool is always steady.
Yet, the plum blossoms around are in full bloom on the ice crystals, with clusters of mist hovering above the pool, ethereal and dreamy.
Bright red, pink, rose red, snow white, light yellow, and deep yellow plum petals float on the water surface, concealing a romantic scene underwater.
Both of their shoulders are submerged, above the water is the man’s captivating and enchanting face.
He shed his usual sternness and aloofness, facing Mu An in the water with a seldom-seen tenderness.
"It’s strange, my Prince Charming. After you kissed me, why didn’t I turn into a beauty? Am I still just a fish?" Mu Anhan gazed at him, "It seems I’ve encountered a fake prince today!"
Gu Xiaozhan reached his hand into the water, "What’s the difference between a fish and a beauty?"
"Fish don’t have legs!" Mu Anhan laughed, "A beauty has two long, white, straight legs, right?"
"Hmm, let me see..." His voice was low and seductive, and he held one of her legs with his large hand, "Tell me, is this a leg or a fish tail?"
Mu Anhan stood on one leg in the water, holding his neck with both hands, "I wanted to have some fun with you like a fish!"
As soon as Gu Xiaozhan heard this, he almost wished to drown in her presence!
When she was sweet, he wished to present the entire world in front of her, showering her with all his love.
When she was naughty, she was irresistibly tempting, making him want to capture her and keep her in his pocket forever.
Then came a loud "bang."
Gu Xiaozhan stirred up a splash, lifting her up, causing various colored plum blossoms to dance in the spray.
The fragrance of the flowers spreading all around and the lingering mist paled in comparison to the love between the two in the water...
...
The next day.
Mu Anhan woke up with an empty stomach. She rubbed her eyes and patted her belly. If not for her hunger, she probably wouldn’t have woken up so early.
Last night was too intense; she didn’t know what had triggered the man’s nerves.
Thinking back now, she couldn’t help blushing.
Even with her eyes closed, she could vividly recall the scene in the hot spring pool from last night.
Was it really true that after four years, once it started, it wouldn’t end?
Maybe because the setting was so beautiful, their private world was too exciting, and she was especially happy last night.
Oh no! I can’t think about it anymore!
Mu Anhan patted her blushing little face, she was just as shameless as he was!
After washing up and changing clothes, she went downstairs and saw the two children playing in the living room.
Shouldn’t they be having lessons today? Gu Xiaozhan is very strict with them, having hired a private tutor to teach them.
Zhu Chen respectfully approached, "Madam, it’s almost lunchtime. May we start?"
"Sure!" Mu Anhan skipped breakfast altogether. She saved a breakfast for Mr. Gu, who is as wealthy as a nation — what a contribution she’s made.
Zhu Chen instructed the kitchen to prepare the meal, while Mu Anhan looked towards the children, "Why aren’t they studying?"
"Mr. Gu already dismissed Teacher Ye early this morning," Zhu Chen promptly replied.
