<h4>Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Why are you so bold to wear nothing underneath?</h4><h4></h4>


    Thinking about how her underwear would be soaked if she didn’t take it off, and given that she was wearing a dress, without a spare pair of panties, the wind on the way back could very well expose her.


    In the end, she decided not to wear any underwear.


    Ji Wei stepped out of the changing room, wrapped in a towel and wearing slippers, and Gu Moqian was already standing by the hot spring pool, clearly waiting for her.


    "Mo Qian, I’m ready."


    Ji Wei held onto the front part of the towel wrapped around her chest with one hand. She had only tied a knot, so it wasn’t very secure, making her feel quite uneasy.


    If the towel fell off just like that, wouldn’t that be utterly mortifying?


    Thinking back, she regretted not going through the shop just now to find something like a clip to secure it.


    The man noticed the woman carefully shuffling over in her slippers. The moment he raised his eyes, his gaze deepened considerably.


    Except for the areas of her chest and thighs covered by the towel, the rest of her fair skin was exposed without reservation.


    Her smooth skin was wless, silky as if untouched, with those long, pale legs revealed outside the towel. The towel barely covered her thighs, and with every step she took, it seemed as though glimpses of something inside could be exposed at any moment...


    Ji Wei had her long hair pinned up at the back, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks. Her longshes trembled slightly as she looked down, lightly biting her lower lip—a mix of shyness and coyness—as she approached Gu Moqian.


    When she lifted her eyes, she inadvertently met the man’s gaze, deep and as vast as the sea. She intended to look away quickly, but her gazended directly on his bare upper body instead.


    His chest muscles were perfectly sculpted, his abdomen taut with not a trace of excess fat.


    Further down, a pair of ck swimming trunks obscured the most private area, but one particr ce was impossible to ignore. Below that, his model-like, impossibly long legs stood out...


    Such a breathtakingly beautiful physique was presented right in front of her without warning, and Ji Wei couldn’t help but swallow hard while staring.


    Realizing she had been tantly staring at Gu Moqian, she blushed furiously and quickly averted her gaze.


    In those fleeting moments of embarrassment, Ji Wei suddenly felt herself liftedpletely off the ground!


    Snapping back to reality, she realized Gu Moqian had picked her up horizontally. Looking dumbfounded at the man holding her, her mind wentpletely nk.


    Gu Moqian nced at the dazed woman in his arms, his lips curling into an irresistible smile as he strode toward the hot spring pool with his long legs.


    The moment her body dipped into the water, the buoyancy caused Ji Wei’s towel to float upward uncontrobly. Panicking, she tried to climb down from Gu Moqian.


    But the man clearly wasn’t intending to let her go that easily.


    Gu Moqian gazed deeply at her. "In such a hurry to get down?"


    "How can you soak while holding me like this? Let me go!"


    Distraught that the towel might rise and reveal whaty beneath, Ji Wei ced one hand against his chest to push him away while the other hand struggled to press down the floating towel—a flurry of frantic movements.


    Her obvious anxiety was not lost on Gu Moqian; how could he not know the reason?


    "You’re not wearing anything underneath. How bold of you to act this way," he murmured in a low, hoarse voice, his lips brushing against her delicate ear as he yfully nibbled on her earlobe.


    The heat of his breath as he spoke sent shivers down her spine, leaving her entire body tingling with an unbearable sensation, especially around her ears.


    Ji Wei, too flustered to care about her now deeply flushed face, wriggled free and slid off the man as quickly as she could. She used one hand to guard her chest and the other to tightly press the towel against her lower body, retreating a few steps before finally leaning against the edge of the hot spring pool.


    Gu Moqian couldn’t help but chuckle silently at the sight of her acting as if faced with a great enemy.


    He stepped toward her, and before Ji Wei could strategically move away, he sat down next to her and swiftly scooped her entire body into his arms.


    Ji Wei struggled. "This is a public area! Can you please be mindful of how this looks?"


    Gu Moqian held her tightly, his chin resting on the top of her head, his voice low and tender. "You’re not wearing anything underneath. If I don’t keep you close, what if someone else catches a glimpse of you?"
