Chapter 151

hapter 151 Evan:... After a moment, he raised an eyebrow.“Are you deliberately getting revenge?”

I dramatically clutched my chest. “Heaven is my witness! I was saving you! Who else would care so much? Do you think bringing ice is easy? This is heartbreaking!” My exaggerated expression made me look like a wronged party.

Evan lifted his arm from the water, resting it on the tub’s edge.“Then thank you for being so thoughtful. Should I give you an award for ‘Most Considerate Secretary of the Year‘?”

“I’ll accept it if you give it,” I said calmly.

Evan, clearly amused, stared at me. He’d been soaking for over an hour; his handsome face was translucent. I’d added more ice cubes.“I think I’m okay,” he said, trying to get out.

“Don’t get out!” I rushed over, pressing my hands on his shoulders, looking serious. “The effects of the drug are easiest to rebound now and will be stronger.”

Evan leaned back impassively.“Don’t you think this method is useless?” His voice held a hint of danger.

“Of course not! You said you felt better; that means the effects are subsiding,” I said, patting his shoulder reassuringly.“CEO, hold on a little longer. Trust me; it works.” I stood up, a mischievous smile playing on my lips. Just as I was about to step back, my wrist was grabbed, a strong force pulling me into the tub.

The sudden shock and the cold water made me scream, “Ah, what are you doing? It’s so cold!” I struggled to get out.

Underwater, my waist was held by strong hands. “You know it’s cold?”

My teeth chattered; I pushed his hands away.“Why did you pull me in?! Let me go!”

Evan asked, “Is it really cold?”

Me:“Duh, it’s ice water! Of course, it’s cold!” I wanted out!!

Evan tightened his grip, pulling me closer. “Do you think I’m cold?”

“...” I stopped struggling, glancing to the side, then back at him.“Our situations are different. You were drugged; you need to cool down; I don’t think... you’ll feel cold.““Of course, if you’re really cold, you can get out.““I’m doing this for your own good, CEO;

you won’t blame me unfairly, right?”

Evan sneered, his eyes like a misty forest. I felt my scalp tingle. I was already cold; now I was even colder. My leg cramped; I had to shift, sitting with my legs apart, bringing us face to face. Evan paused.

Me:... I pushed his hand away.“I want to get out!”

His grip tightened, his warm palm seeping heat into my skin through the ice water, his face closer.“You’re right; I’ll hold on. Keep me company.”

“...!!” My heart pounded. He was acting strangely again. I felt... a mist forming before my eyes, seeing his wet black robe clinging to his muscular chest, water droplets clinging to him... The robe was like a dark lotus blooming in the water...
