Wang Dahai regretted his words as soon as he had spoken them.

His intention was simply to make a joke, but he immediately realized that it was not the right time for jokes.

Lawyer Xu was also taken aback for a moment before she realized that Wang Dahai was joking.

However, she intentionally asked in a tense, soft voice, "What benefit do you want?"

"Uh, it was just a joke. Don't take it seriously," Wang Dahai said, waving his hand.

Lawyer Xu looked at him deeply, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Thank you for bringing me here."

After dropping these words, Lawyer Xu turned and left.

Watching her captivating silhouette, Wang Dahai felt regret gnawing at him.

He should never have said that.

Making jokes depended on the relationship between the parties involved.

He had known Lawyer Xu for only a few days; they were not familiar with each other.

Such jokes were not appropriate.

Now, Lawyer Xu was obviously angry.

Wang Dahai was filled with remorse but had no way to make amends.

He had once fantasized that something might happen between himself and Lawyer Xu.

But now, it seemed he had only succeeded in making Lawyer Xu angry.

With a sigh, Wang Dahai drove back, his mind filled with images of Lawyer Xu.

In the following days, he did not see Lawyer Xu.

Their paths rarely crossed; if not for Lin Wanqiu's divorce, he would not have had the chance to meet a woman like Lawyer Xu.

They were not meant to walk the same path, so there was naturally no regret.

Besides, there had been some wonderful moments between him and Lawyer Xu.

Although they had not truly established a substantial relationship, those were still beautiful memories.

Having realized this, Wang Dahai no longer felt regretful.

That day, when Wang Dahai returned home from work, he did not see his sister-in-law's figure.

These days, his sister-in-law seemed very busy.

Additionally, with his sister-in-law worried about getting pregnant before the divorce, they also had fewer chances to be alone together.

Mr. Lin and Mrs. Liu were just as busy.

Even Zhao Xue was nowhere to be seen.

So, during dinner, it was just Wang Dahai alone.

After he had finished eating, he suddenly received a phone call from Lin Wanqiu.

"Dahai, are you at home?"

"I've just finished eating."

"Then, come over to my house; you'll stay there for the next few days."

"What?"

"I have some issues here, I won't go into details now."

Lin Wanqiu hung up the phone in a rush, leaving Wang Dahai puzzled.

Stay at her house?

What was going on?

But Zhang Hao was still living there.

With a myriad of questions in mind, but knowing Lin Wanqiu was obviously busy, he had no way to ask in detail.

So, he grabbed a few clothes, took his keys, and left the house.

When Wang Dahai arrived at Lin Wanqiu's house, he discovered that the door had been changed to a digital lock.

He was just taking out his phone when he saw Lin Wanqiu had sent him the passcode.

He unlocked the door and entered, finding the living room light on.

Was someone there?

He then looked at the shoe cabinet, where there was only a pair of women's short heel sandals.

Zhang's shoes were all gone.

Whose sandals were these?

With confusion, he walked into the living room.

As he passed by the bathroom, he heard sounds of splashing water coming from inside.

Is someone taking a bath?

Is it my sister-in-law?

He tiptoed closer and pressed his ear against the door, the sound becoming clear immediately.

Besides the sound of water, he also heard faint moaning.

Is this… self-consoling inside?

But who exactly is bathing?

Wang Dahai was extremely curious, and several times he thought about pushing the bathroom door open to find out, yet he felt it was inappropriate.

Meanwhile, the sounds inside grew increasingly louder.

It seemed that, thinking no one was outside, one could dare to be so indulgent.

The sound made Wang Dahai react; he had been holding back for a while.

Even Zhao Xue, due to last time's incident, deliberately ignored him, and they hadn't been intimate for a long time.

He didn't bother to think too much and, after listening for a while behind a corner, he returned to the room he had once lived in.

The room was still the same as when he had left, unchanged.

Although unclear why Lin Wanqiu had him stay here these few days, there must have been a purpose.

He put away his clothes and walked out of the room.

Just then, he heard even higher cries coming from the bathroom.

He hurried over, the voices escalating one wave after another, as if about to faint.

A long time later, the noises gradually weakened.

Wang Dahai's blood was boiling, his brain nearly exploding, completely unaware that the woman inside was walking toward the door.

It was not until the "click" of the door opening that Wang Dahai abruptly came to his senses.

As the door opened, he saw a woman standing behind it, not wearing a thread, with wet hair strands and beads of water hanging off her fragrant shoulders and collarbones.

This woman's skin was as white as snow, her breasts uplifted and full, her waist slim and tight, and between her long legs, the tender pink hidden beneath slender foliage was faintly visible.

Wang Dahai was momentarily stunned, his eyes unable to move away.

The woman, seeing Wang Dahai suddenly appear, was also startled.

A few seconds later, she suddenly screamed, crossed her arms over her chest, squeezed her beautiful legs tightly together, and nervously said, "You, you, why are you here?"

It was Xu Xixi, Lawyer Xu!

Both shocked and pleasantly surprised, Wang Dahai was even more bewildered by why Lawyer Xu would be here.

And moreover, taking a bath here!

Although Wang Dahai had been self-consoling over these past few days, he couldn't stop thinking about her.

Seeing her now, and in such a manner, his heart was filled with joy.

"Sister-in-law asked me to come here, Lawyer Xu, why are you here?" he asked.

"I… turn around first, don't look!"

Lawyer Xu's ears turned red, her heart filled with anger and shame.

Her body had been completely seen by him.

Although the two had almost done something in a hotel once, and had hugged and kissed at home…

Those were things that happened naturally under the right atmosphere, completely different from now.

"Ahem." Wang Dahai reluctantly turned around, but his shorts were still tented.

Lawyer Xu quickly ran into a room and only came out a few minutes later, already dressed in a set of pajamas.

The flush on her face gradually faded, but her eyes still held a hint of discomfort as she looked at Wang Dahai.

Wang Dahai sat upright on the sofa, both of them tacitly avoiding mentioning what had just happened.

"Lawyer Xu, why are you here?" he asked, voicing his inner confusion.

A few minutes later, Wang Dahai understood the situation.

Lin Wanqiu had rented out this apartment and, under the guise of renting, had driven Zhang Hao from this home.

To prevent Zhang Hao from causing trouble, she had asked Lawyer Xu to stay here for a while.

If Zhang Hao really came over, she would gather evidence and use that as grounds to sue Zhang Hao.

As for having Wang Dahai come to live here, the answer was obvious—it was to protect Lawyer Xu.

"So that's it." Wang Dahai nodded, yet he felt something odd.

Lawyer Xu had a boyfriend; if she was staying here, what about her boyfriend?

Just about to ask, Lawyer Xu suddenly whispered, "Did you hear something just now?"
