Chapter 18

"Sorry!"

Chu Nan suddenly sighed deeply, then turned his head and bowed apologetically!

However, as he pretended to bow and straightened up, looking at the woman in front of him... his heart suddenly raced violently!! Yes, it raced very violently!!

This feeling... was the first time Chu Nan had experienced it in his life!!

Well, although he had experienced an accelerated heartbeat before, Chu Nan was very clear that this time was different from any other time! Could this... be the legendary feeling of a racing heart?!

The Xia Yuechan in front of him had just come out of the bathroom, her black curly hair wrapped in a towel, her side bangs only covering half of her forehead. Her fair forehead, her delicate oval face, her slightly flushed cheeks from just coming out of the bath, her high and straight nose, her rosy lips, her crystal-clear ears, and her beautiful eyes that exuded a cold charm, all arrogantly told Chu Nan: I am a goddess.

Yes, a goddess.

This was the legendary goddess, who could no longer be simply described as a beauty!

Moreover, she was only wrapped in a bath towel, her fair and tender skin exposed to the air, her shoulders lightly raised, her collarbone sensuous, and the deep cleavage at her chest, like a bottomless abyss that lured men to sin. Due to her slender arms pulling the towel, her chest was squeezed even more roundly, with a small part still exposed.

The short bath towel could not completely cover her lower body, her soft and smooth thighs and slender, tender calves outlined two perfect leg shapes. Her fair skin, beautiful appearance, rosy lips, oval face, beautiful figure, all of these... had a fatal attraction to Chu Nan, who was still a virgin!

Chu Nan looked at the goddess in front of him and was inadvertently deeply entranced, staring for a long time...

What finally brought him back from his long daze was still Xia Yuechan's cold but beautiful voice: "Have you had enough?"

Chu Nan paused at her words, his gaze subconsciously quickly retracting.

Then, looking at Xia Yuechan's unbelievably beautiful and gorgeous face, he actually shook his head, his mind going blank.

Seeing Chu Nan shake his head, Xia Yuechan's cheeks immediately flushed with two red clouds, her eyebrows furrowed, showing a very displeased anger.

After being glared at by Xia Yuechan's angry eyes, Chu Nan finally came to his senses and belatedly replied, "Uh, I've had enough. — No, I mean... I'm very sorry!"

Chu Nan now wished he could slap himself!

He usually thought he had good eloquence, but at this moment, his mouth was as clumsy as a foot! This... was the charm of a beauty, right?!

No wonder Grandpa often said when Chu Nan was very young, "Women are a source of disaster. If you ever encounter a woman who makes you lose your composure, be careful. Don't let such a woman bewitch you, or else... at best, you'll lose your home and family, and at worst, you'll bring disaster to the country and people!"

The old man's thoughts were rather outdated, and even today, Chu Nan couldn't agree with this.

But... the old man was right about the beauty being a source of disaster!

This Xia Yuechan... was truly beautiful to the point that Chu Nan was captivated. Even now, despite Xia Yuechan's unfriendly gaze, Chu Nan could still hear his restless heartbeat!

It wasn't that Chu Nan didn't want to control himself, but Xia Yuechan was the perfect woman who had gradually formed in his dreams during his early adolescence!

In this world, there is something called relativity.

Compared to others, something might not be outstanding, but for someone else, it could be a treasure! For example, although Li Mengru and Ye Yao, whom he met on the train, were also considered one in a million beauties, Xia Yuechan, as a beauty, made Chu Nan's heart race.

This was a very practical truth. Perhaps others wouldn't find Xia Yuechan as captivating as Li Mengru or Ye Yao. After all, everyone has different tastes!

And Xia Yuechan, this ice goddess... was clearly the most exquisite dish that suited Chu Nan's taste!

Although the goddess in front of him was quite tempting after her bath, Chu Nan knew he couldn't continue to lose his composure. He still hadn't explained his origins clearly.

So, he took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and then said in an innocent and aggrieved manner, "I'm sorry, Miss... Someone told me to come here and install a listening device... and they would give me ten thousand yuan after it was done... I... I'm really poor, and I was momentarily blinded by greed..."

Chu Nan was very satisfied with his current performance and explanation.

Following what Xia Yuechan had said about the fiancée and Zhou Yunqiang, he spoke ambiguously, and Xia Yuechan would naturally associate it with someone. Even if it was later revealed that Chu Nan wasn't sent by Zhou Yunqiang, the "someone" he mentioned would still have a lot of room for maneuver. Who said it had to be Zhou Yunqiang's people? It could also be someone with ulterior motives! A woman who could be Li Mengru's best friend was naturally not simple and being coveted was normal, let alone this woman... who was so beautiful that she could topple a nation!

Looking at Chu Nan's current explanation, Xia Yuechan's brows were still slightly furrowed, and her face still carried anger, but Chu Nan could clearly see that her anger was no longer solely directed at him but had shifted to the person she was associating with.

"This boy in front of me looks no more than twenty years old, dressed very simply, and seems quite poor. He probably isn't lying. According to Zhou Yunqiang's style, he definitely wouldn't personally send this boy to do something bad. It must be one of Zhou Yunqiang's subordinates. So, it's unrealistic to have this boy pass a message to Zhou Yunqiang." Xia Yuechan thought to herself, but soon another question troubled her.

"Then tell me... how did you get in?"

This was a direct hit.

Chu Nan was also taken aback by the question.

He couldn't say he came in through the door, as the surveillance footage would clearly show that Chu Nan didn't enter through the front door.

So... how should he explain it? Should he tell the truth?

After much internal struggle, Chu Nan finally came up with a plan and said with his head half-drooping, "Actually... I... I jumped over from the balcony."

"Balcony?!"

Xia Yuechan was taken aback! What a joke, really the balcony? This is the twenty-first floor! With this frail build, could he have the courage and skill to do that?!
