Chapter 405: Chapter 405

Before Su Lu had escorted Bo Jingshen back, she never imagined she wouldn’t be able to leave.

It wasn’t until she found herself being held in his arms and falling backwards onto the bed that her mind went blank. One expression came to mind, "leading a wolf into the house," and another phrase that shared a similar fate, "a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth."

At this moment, Su Lu was probably that sheep right at the tiger’s mouth.

Her eyes were wide open in confusion, and her frail arms and legs couldn’t struggle; she just resigned herself to lying flat.

Bo Jingshen sniffed at her neck, propped up on his arm as if he intended to come in for a kiss.

Su Lu looked into his somewhat hazy eyes, but he didn’t immediately lean in to kiss her.

Even though he was already bowing down, almost about to close in, the daze in his eyes seemed to clear up as if he had snapped out of something. With bewildered eyes, he stood up.

He muttered to himself, "Need to brush my teeth, got to brush first."

His muttering was soft, but Su Lu heard it clearly and almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Then she watched him nod to himself and turn toward the direction that must be the bathroom.

Su Lu got up from the bed, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and finally had the leisure to look around the house.

From the outside, the small villa had looked quite beautiful.

But it seemed neglected, the landscaping in the yard was a mess, and the swimming pool had been completely abandoned, without water and the bottom covered with fallen leaves.

And inside the house, it was even more desolate.

It was as barren as Ying Xi’s apartment. The basic interiors were all done, but that was about it. It was even more minimalist than the current minimalist trend, with barely any furniture in the large living room that could truly be called furniture.
