Chapter 148 - Saw something that he shouldn't have seen

Aware of his thoughts, Yu Yuehan’s gaze deepened slightly.

Just when he was about to say something, Nian Xiaomu had already lifted Xiao Liuliu up in her arms and ran toward the villa, declaring, “It’s bath time for Xiao Liuliu, so I’ll bring her to the bathroom!”

She disappeared through the door in the blink of an eye.

When she ran past him, he saw clearly that the blush on her cheeks… resembled bashfulness.

For some unknown reason, the jittery feeling that was accumulating in his chest disappeared all of a sudden.

The corner of his mouth curved into an arc—it was a smile, yet at the same time, it wasn’t a smile.

He turned around and strolled in.

Just as he entered the living room, he saw Nian Xiaomu exiting the room again with Xiao Liuliu in her arms. “The water faucet in Xiao Liuliu’s bathroom seems to be faulty. There’s no water coming out of it.”

The butler hurried in when he noticed the commotion. When he heard what Nian Xiaomu said, he immediately sent his subordinates to check on the water faucet in Xiao Liuliu’s room.

Very soon, they found a reason for this issue.

“A section of the water piping that is situated in the courtyard has broken, so the water supply to all the rooms on the first level have been cut off. The men are working on this, and it will be fixed in no time,” the butler stood beside Yu Yuehan and reported in a courtly manner.

“What about the levels above?” Yu Yuehan’s thin lips moved.

“The water pipes run in from another source upstairs, so there are no problems with the other levels.” the butler replied respectfully.

Collecting his gaze, Yu Yuehan looked at Nian Xiaomu, opened his mouth calmly, and said, “Wash her up in my room.”

Passing by Nian Xiaomu, he led the way and walked upstairs after he finished his sentence.

Xiao Liuliu was most happy when she heard that it was bath time.

She carried her tiny clothes and ran at lightning speed.

Following behind Yu Yuehan, she entered his room eagerly.

From behind, Nian Xiaomu walked at an exasperatingly slow speed. The scenarios of their previous encounters flashed past her mind when she thought of entering his room…

It seemed that nothing good had ever happened when she entered his room.

As she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt that a sharp stare had landed on her.

When she lifted her head up, she saw that Yu Yuehan was leaning against the door and waiting for her while carrying Xiao Liuliu with one of his arms.

His sexy lips pursed slightly. Although he said nothing, a lot of information was revealed by his expression that was full of disdain.

For example, he disliked that she had short legs!

Nian Xiaomu took in a deep breath. Just when she wanted to tell him that walking at a slow speed was not equivalent to having short legs, he had already carried Xiao Liuliu and walked up to her.

He placed Xiao Liuliu into her arms.

“You help her bathe. I have other things to do.”

“… okay!” Nian Xiaomu took Xiao Liuliu from his arms the moment she heard that he would not be staying in the room and headed in without demur.

She entered the bathroom, prepared the water, and washed Xiao Liuliu…

In the study room.

Yu Yuehan had just sent an urgent email. A little exhausted, he massaged his temples and leaned back against the chair.

Just when he was about to reach out and retrieve a document, he suddenly remembered that Nian Xiaomu was still with Xiao Liuliu in his room and paused briefly in his actions.

Xiao Liuliu enjoyed playing with water, and it was the toughest to take care of her during her bath time.

The bathtub in his room was twice as big as the bathtubs in the other rooms; did Nian Xiaomu have the ability to handle Xiao Liuliu alone?

Yu Yuehan stood up and walked back to his bedroom.

He had just reached the door when he heard laughter, which sounded like bells, ringing from his room.

There was Xiao Liuliu’s voice and also Nian Xiaomu’s voice.

He was stumped for words. Next, he heard her sharp and clear voice say, “Alright Xiao Liuliu, no more playing in the water. Come over here and get dressed.”

The moment she finished speaking, a screech sounded from the bathroom.

Yu Yuehan’s nerves tightened. With his body reacting faster than his brain, he rushed over without any hesitation and pushed open the door to the bathroom!

The next second, his pupils shrank the moment he saw the scene before him clearly!
