Ren Baqian lay by the side of the swimming pool as he sipped on a glass of iced fruit juice while rubbing his feet. To put it another way, he was massaging three of his swollen toes that looked like carrots except that they were much shorter.
He was looking forward to the entrance of the empress. Just now, he took advantage of the romantic atmosphere and finally persuaded her to change into a swimsuit that he had prepared.
Ren Baqian was full of anticipation for what the empress would look like when she wore a swimsuit.
As the saying goes: unattainable things are always the best and most intriguing, just like the ticklish sensation when a cat scratches someone.
This was particularly the case for a person like the empress.
Usually, she was cold and aloof. Ren Baqian was already satisfied that he got to witness the empress’s rarely seen affectionate eyes, let alone her agreement to change into a swimsuit.
Capability and power are the best packaging for a man.
Sometimes, this also applied to women.
For example, even if they were ordinary instead of indescribably beautiful, any man would be emotionally aroused by women such as Li Yuanzhu and the empress.
On top of that, if they had an exceptionally graceful bearing, then only a few men would be able to resist such a temptation.
If there was really a man like that, he had to either be gay or be a eunuch.
While Ren Baqian was massaging his toes, he heard the sound of the door opening and immediately turned his head to look.
First, he saw a beautiful leg stepping forward. In his mind, he was already imagining what the empress would look like in a bikini. At this moment, his heartbeat began to accelerate.
He felt so hot that he might be suffering from heat stroke…
He then took a mouthful of fruit juice to calm his nerves!
However, Ren Baqian soon opened his eyes wide, only to see the empress walk in with just a white bath towel wrapped around her.
The white bath towel just managed to cover the area below her butt, revealing a pair of spotlessly white legs, smooth shoulders, and seductive collarbones…
He was definitely going to suffer from heat stroke…
Slurp, slurp… Ren Baqian finished half a glass of fruit juice in one breath. He finally felt cooler and more refreshed.
The empress shot a glance at Ren Baqian, walked over in his direction, and sat beside him.
“Your Majesty, do you want to taste this drink?” Ren Baqian handed the other glass of fruit juice over to her.
“Not interested,” the empress replied indifferently. Like before, she returned to her cold and aloof self. However, her voice was now much more gentle and that aloofness was like a layer of shell.
“Two people at an indoor swimming pool… but not swimming and not enjoying the sun… It seems a bit silly,” Ren Baqian said after pondering for a while.
After that, he flew into the sky and danced in the air before slamming into the water.
It didn’t look silly anymore.
The empress grinned.
Upon entering the water, he felt that his strength, balance, and ability to remain cool-headed had disappeared. A fear of being surrounded by water emerged in his mind. After struggling in the water for a long time, he finally managed to stand up in the pool and spat out a stream of water.
If he were to drown in a pool that was 1.4 meters deep, that would really be miserable.
Ren Baqian lay beside the pool and raised his head to look at the empress. This angle… Unfortunately, her legs were crossed, and he wasn’t able to see anything.
He looked around, raised his hands, scooped some water, and splashed it at the empress.
Afterward… Just like how the water was splashed at the empress, it came splashing back on Ren Baqian’s face.
Seeing that the ice on the empress’s face had melted, his broke into a wide smile.
“Your Majesty, come in for a dip? It’s so comfortable to take a dip in this weather…” Ren Baqian said with a comfortable expression on his face.
After listening to what Ren Baqian said, the empress was tempted. She got up from the deck chair, jumped into the center of the pool, extended her hand, and slapped downward…
Ren Baqian swore that he really saw a tsunami…
It was as if a tsunami occurred in the swimming pool. All the water in the swimming pool soared into the sky and struck the roof and walls around the pool.
Numerous splashes of water made Ren Baqian unable to open his eyes, and the sound of water rushing against the walls could be heard.
When Ren Baqian opened his eyes, he was stunned at the amount of water left in the pool. Only half the amount of water remained. The empress was currently wrapped in the bath towel and sitting against the edge of the pool… She was actually immersing herself in a bath?
He turned and look in all directions, only to see water everywhere outside the pool. The deck chairs were gone, the fruit juice was gone, the tables were gone… He reckoned that the speakers installed at the corners of the walls were probably destroyed too…
“Your Majesty…” Ren Baqian didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
The empress was basically teasing him.
I know everything that’s in your mind, and I won’t show you what you want!
However, the pool was only half-filled at this moment. Ren Baqian could finally dog-paddle in the pool… If he still drowned in such a situation, he might as well drown to death since it would be too shameful.
He dog-paddled all the way to the empress’s side. As the water outside the pool flowed back into the pool, the water level in the pool began to rise, and Ren Baqian had no other choice but to stand up.
However, the empress actually maintained her sitting posture and remained floating on water. If he looked closely, he could see that the empress’s fingers were constantly pushing against the water. This was the reason why she could still float on the water.
“Your Majesty, you can’t swim?” Ren Baqian suddenly thought of something. Back then at the Bailong Stream, he saw the empress jump down into the sea from a 100-meter tall cliff and still manage to survive. Thus, he had never once considered that the empress didn’t know how to swim.
However, at this instant, he felt that it might be possible.
The empress rolled her eyes at him and waved her hands in the water. The next instant, Ren Baqian felt that he saw a tsunami and was pushed by a surge of water to the other end of the pool.
“Alright, I can’t offend her even if she doesn’t know how to swim!”
The two stayed in the pool for more than an hour before they came out. The empress got out of the pool while dripping water. When she walked to the door, the towel on her body fell to the ground. Ren Baqian opened his eyes wide as he looked at the empress’s bright and delicate back as well as at the outline of the bikini on her body.
The next moment, a door blocked the silhouette of the empress.
“This is a bonus, right?” Ren Baqian’s heart was throbbing. “I’m indulging in pleasure now and can’t be bothered with anything else.”
Su Wen and what not, to hell with them!
It seems like Her Majesty’s mood is pretty good this time.
We’ll talk about other stuff after enjoying the next two days.
…
In a large office, an old man with white hair and a white beard was sitting on a sofa.
“Boss, I found something.” A young man wearing glasses walked to the old man and placed a stack of paper next to him.
“The owner of the villa is Ren Baqian. That woman is called Qi Zixiao. Ren Baqian’s parents are ordinary people. He graduated from SY University three years ago, was an average joe, and worked for a small company. I’m unsure of how, but later on, he got to collaborate with a businessman by the surname of Chen. That ‘Golden Medical’ was set up by them.
Another point to note is that he was previously a wanted criminal along with that Qi Zixao. The reason he was wanted was because he killed over ten people who were directly related to a businessman by the surname of Jin. After that, he and Qi Zixiao escaped from the country and then came back somehow. Their wanted orders were also revoked.
Combined with the information you received from the phone call just now, I suspect that he has backing from the nation. At present, however, I have yet to find out who is backing him.
Judging from this information, the other party is a vicious and merciless person. Even though that businessman surnamed Jin had a gang-related background, Ren Baqian actually killed his entire family. This is an extremely reckless move in our nation.
As for that Qi Zixiao, there’s very little information about her. There’s no other news except that she was wanted by the nation before. ”
While reading the information at hand, the old man listened to the young man’s remarks, and a ice-cold gaze emerged from his eyes.
After crashing into their house, his granddaughter had already passed out, but they actually dared to throw her out from the second floor. This created huge animosity toward them.
If he didn’t take revenge, others would treat him as a weak and easy target.
Although the other party managed to find a ministry official to give him a call, the other party didn’t even reveal his face. Did the other party really think that this phone call could restrain his anger and that he would give up on this matter?
The other party was underestimating him.
Even if the other party had someone to back them up, so what?
After achieving his current status, the old man no longer cared about many things.
He didn’t believe that the other party’s backing would be someone from the top of the hierarchy. Even though that “Golden Medical” was somewhat interesting, it was far from being noticeable.
With his own capacity, regardless of what kind of background the other party came from, he didn’t need to care at all.
What he thought was actually logical!
“We don’t need to care about his background anymore.” The old man slammed the pieces of paper onto the table.
