Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Second Master is Very Attached to Xia Wan
After Xia Wan went upstairs, she entered her room and gently opened the wardrobe door. Inside, it was filled with clothes of various styles and colors. She couldn't help but wonder, "When were all these clothes prepared?"
From the multitude of outfits, she picked out a light pink puff-sleeved dress and carried it into the bathroom.
As she took off her top, she suddenly noticed some marks on her chest. She muttered softly, "Well, there's nothing else to do right now, so maybe I'll take a bath."
With that thought, Xia Wan didn't hesitate and immediately started preparing for her bath.
She took out her phone, played her favorite song, and enjoyed the relaxing bath while listening to the music, feeling particularly happy.
Just then, the sound of an engine turning off came from downstairs. Shortly after, a tall and imposing figure stepped out of the car.
"Second Master, welcome back!"
"Hmm," he replied indifferently.
Huo Siyuan strode quickly toward the villa, his eyes scanning the area, but he didn't see the person he was hoping to find.
"Where's the young mistress?" he asked urgently.
Aunt Deng, seeing how anxious the Second Master was to find his wife upon his return, felt quite pleased. It was rare to see the Second Master so eager.
She respectfully replied, "Second Master, the young mistress is in the upstairs bedroom."
"Hmm," Huo Siyuan acknowledged, and without delay, he rushed upstairs, his speed as fast as an arrow released from a bow.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
Huo Siyuan stood outside the door, gently knocking. This was the first time he had to knock before entering this room, and he couldn't help but feel a bit amused.
After waiting for three seconds and getting no response, he began to worry, fearing that something might have happened to Xia Wan inside.
Without hesitation, he pushed the door open and quickly stepped in.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard singing and the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. It turned out that Xia Wan was happily singing and showering inside.
Hearing these sounds, Huo Siyuan's anxious heart finally settled. He quietly walked over to the bed and sat down, patiently waiting.
Time passed minute by minute. The singing from the bathroom gradually stopped, and the sound of water also faded away. Finally, the bathroom door slowly opened with a soft creak.
Xia Wan stepped out, drying her wet hair. When she looked up, she was startled to see the tall figure sitting on the bed.
"Ah!" Xia Wan let out a scream.
She hadn't expected Huo Siyuan to suddenly appear in her room, so his presence genuinely shocked her.
Xia Wan froze for a moment, seemingly unable to react immediately.
Perhaps out of shyness, or perhaps because she was startled by Huo Siyuan's sudden appearance, she stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
Huo Siyuan's intense gaze locked onto Xia Wan, who had just stepped out of the shower. He slowly said, "I'm back."
Xia Wan was taken aback by his sudden words, her face flushing red as she shyly lowered her head.
After a while, she finally regained her composure and softly said, "You're back!"
Huo Siyuan immediately stood up and quickly walked over to Xia Wan.
He bent down, scooped her up, and sat her on his lap.
He inhaled the fresh scent emanating from her body, feeling her warmth and softness, and couldn't help but become entranced.
Looking at Xia Wan, who had just come out of the shower, her face flushed from the heat, she looked incredibly alluring.
Though her pink cartoon pajamas were loose, they subtly hinted at her perfect figure.
Huo Siyuan felt his throat go dry, his deep eyes darkening.
He immediately reached out and tightly embraced her. This hug allowed him to clearly feel Xia Wan's softness, as if he wanted to meld her into his very being.
Startled, Xia Wan exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing?"
After saying that, Xia Wan squirmed slightly in his arms.
"Don't move," a low voice commanded.
Xia Wan didn't dare to move anymore and quietly let Huo Siyuan hold her.
Then, he gently asked, "Why did you suddenly take a bath?"
Xia Wan nestled in Huo Siyuan's arms like a little kitten, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, tinged with shyness and embarrassment. "Because... I accidentally spilled some juice downstairs, and then... then I..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
Huo Siyuan's expression instantly turned serious upon hearing this. He quickly lifted Xia Wan from his lap and gently placed her on the bed, treating her as if she were a fragile treasure.
He anxiously rolled up his sleeves, carefully checking for any signs of injury. After confirming she was unharmed, he knelt down and prepared to lift Xia Wan's skirt.
Sitting on the bed, Xia Wan looked at Huo Siyuan in confusion, unsure of what was happening.
She felt puzzled. Why was he suddenly so nervous? She blinked her big eyes, curiously watching Huo Siyuan.
Just as she was still lost in thought, she noticed Huo Siyuan trying to lift her skirt.
This startled her, and she immediately grabbed his large hand, her face turning bright red as she asked, "Mr. Huo, what are you doing?"
Her voice was filled with shyness and unease.
Huo Siyuan looked at the little face before him, now completely red with embarrassment, and couldn't help but feel a surge of tenderness.
He gently held Xia Wan's delicate hand, his eyes full of warmth, and softly said, "Wan Wan, I just want to check your body to make sure you weren't hurt by the juice."
His tone revealed deep concern for her.
Xia Wan scolded, "Stop it right now."
Although Xia Wan was scolding him, her soft, sweet voice had no intimidating effect on Huo Siyuan. In fact, it only made his heart itch more.
After hearing Huo Siyuan's explanation, Xia Wan felt warm inside but also a bit amused. "Mr. Huo, I'm fine. It was just juice, not hot."
Huo Siyuan suddenly stood up, his movements swift and forceful, as if carrying an air of undeniable authority.
He stretched out his arms and tightly embraced the petite Xia Wan.
Then, without hesitation, his right hand landed on Xia Wan's round, cute little bottom, giving it a light pat.
Xia Wan felt a rush of heat flood her cheeks, and she was utterly mortified.
She glared at Huo Siyuan, her eyes filled with shyness and confusion, stammering, "Mr. Huo, what... what are you doing?"
Huo Siyuan's lips curled into a mischievous and charming smile.
His deep, intense gaze seemed to pierce through Xia Wan's soul.
He whispered, "This is just a little punishment for you."
Xia Wan widened her eyes in confusion and asked, "Why... why are you punishing me?"
Huo Siyuan raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing as he countered, "What did you just call me?"
Only then did Xia Wan realize the issue. Her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, and she timidly corrected herself, "Si... Siyuan."
Hearing this, Huo Siyuan smiled with satisfaction and nodded. "Good. Remember not to call me wrongly again."
After saying that, he slowly knelt down again, carefully picked Xia Wan up, and then walked steadily downstairs.
Xia Wan naturally wrapped her arms around Huo Siyuan's strong neck, her gaze unable to leave his handsome, captivating face.
She couldn't help but inwardly marvel at how incredibly handsome this man was! Every line, every contour of his face was perfect, exuding an irresistible charm.
As she admired Huo Siyuan's stunning looks, Xia Wan softly asked in her sweet, delicate voice, "Where are we going?"
Huo Siyuan's voice, as enchanting as a spell, gently replied, "Just taking a stroll. Is there anywhere you'd like to go? Just name it, and I'll take you there."
Xia Wan tilted her head and thought for a moment, but ultimately shook her head. In a voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's, she said, "I don't know."
Huo Siyuan's lips curled into a warm, doting smile as he softly said, "In that case, let me take you around."
Without another word, he tightly embraced Xia Wan, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, and continued walking forward with firm, determined steps.
Xia Wan, like an obedient little kitten, nodded gently and said, "Okay!"
Her eyes sparkled with happiness and contentment.
At this moment, Huo Siyuan's eyes were filled with tender affection, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze. "My darling, you're so obedient and adorable."
Hearing this, Xia Wan couldn't help but blush, her cheeks turning as red as a sunset.
She shyly asked, "Siyuan, why do you always like to carry me? I can walk on my own. Can I get down?"
After saying that, she looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation as she gazed at the man who made her heart flutter.
Huo Siyuan stopped in his tracks, his gaze never leaving Xia Wan. His eyes were solely focused on her charming figure.
He replied with deep affection, "Because my wife is so well-behaved and understanding. I just want to be close to you all the time, to feel your warmth and share every beautiful moment with you."
Xia Wan quietly stared at Huo Siyuan, momentarily at a loss for words.
Her heart felt as if a stone had been dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples of endless sweetness and emotion.
