  “S-Sorry! Sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose! I was just scared silly by your luggage full of underwear!”


  The air in the bedroom with black décor scheme stilled the moment she said that.

  “Sorry, sorry! Not underwear, not underwear. It’s just……” Her cheeks were aflame as she tried to explain herself.

  “.…… Pei Ge!” Taking a deep breath, he cut off her incoherent words. “Shut up.”


  “.……” She immediately shut her mouth.

  She pursed her lips tightly together. Noting how meek she was, the man finally calmed down and lifted his hand from her eyes.

  When the man’s handsome face entered her sight again, she blinked and turned her head away in slight embarrassment.

  “Okay. Besides……” he haltingly said, “that luggage, you can start unpacking all the others.”


  His icy tone made her embarrassment recede.

  “All right. I got it,” she answered softly, turning to look at him.

  Thinking along that line, she grew even more calmer. In fact, she was too zen now.

  “Ziming, actually, it’s nothing,” she suddenly said.

  “It’s just a luggage full of underwear. I can definitely unpack it……” She, who had over-compensated for her discomfiture, looked at him earnestly.

  “.……” He was totally made dumbfounded by her words.

  “We are a couple. Being this shy and having a big reaction over a simple issue will make others suspect us.” She blinked at the man seriously.

  “.……” He felt the wind blow his mind into disarray.

  “That’s why I will help you unpack this luggage!” She clenched her fists in resolute determination.

  “.……” Finally regaining his senses, the man could not help tugging at his lips.

  “Anyway……” She blinked and shyly eyed the leather luggage at her feet before she shifted her gaze onto man standing next to her. “All your underwear should be clean, right?”


  “.……”

  He felt a string in his mind snap at her words.

  “Oh, right!” A certain dumb woman, who had over-compensated for her embarrassment, did not notice anything amiss with him as she continued, “I can do the cleaning and washing except for your underwear—”


  “PEI! GE!” he boomed through gnashed teeth.

  “My underwear never needs washing!”


  “Huh? That’s too dirty!” she exclaimed with wide eyes.

  “Pei Ge, you dumb woman, what in the world are you thinking?! I only wear my underwear once and throw them away, so there is no need to wash! Do! You! Understand! Me?!” he enunciated through his clenched teeth.

  “I-I understand.” The anger in his dark eyes caught her by surprise, and she nodded in belated realization.

  Just as he breathed out his anger, thinking that the underwear issue was finally behind them, the woman spoke again.

  “That’s too wasteful, though! Your underwear’s quality seems so fine; it’s too wasteful to throw them away after wearing them once!”


  He felt another string in his mind snap.

  This time, however, it was not anger due to shame but……

  “Since you think that it is wasteful, then you can wash my underwear every day from now on.”


  “Huh? Me? No way!”

  She spat inwardly while shooting him a look of disdain.

  He was instantly made enraged by her gaze.

  “Since you don’t want to wash them, stop saying all this nonsense about it being wasteful!”


  He glared at her with eyes filled with fire as his voice brimmed with rage.

  “You…… You have hands and legs! Can’t you wash them yourself?!” She glared at him as well, feeling unhappy inside.

  Noting her expressive eyes filling with anger, he moved to speak but stopped when he realized something.

  His face turned gloomy at this thought.

  “Shut up!” He shot her an annoyed look.

  If other people learned that this ultimate decision-maker of the Ji Group was haggling with a woman about washing his underwear, he would definitely lose all his face!

  “W-Why are you looking at me like that?” She was taken aback by his shift in gaze.

  He narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips into a grim line. Staring at her for a bit, he then turned around and strode out of the room.

  She blinked at his departure and muttered inside,

  She nudged her lips and lowered her head to look at the other black luggage.
