Thinking about being touched all over, Shen Liqing felt nauseous.

He remembered to lock the door to the bathroom this time. As he looked at the mirror, he saw the dense purple marks on his neck, the skin reddened from being rubbed by the towel, and even bloodstains seeping through, but he still couldn't wipe away these marks.

Just now, when they entered the hotel, they encountered several people in the elevator. These people were all looking at him and Xun Yan with a vague and ambiguous expression in their eyes. Their attitude towards him was even disdainful. Well, he was just a middle-aged man who had gotten involved in such a matter, even though it was not something he willingly did. But in the eyes of others, he was considered even less than a prostitute.

In the mirror, his pale skin was being rinsed by the water as it flowed down from the showerhead, but no matter how much he washed, he couldn't get himself clean. This appearance made even Shen Liqing himself look down on himself. He had never experienced such a thing before. In the past, it was always others who sought to please him, and he would listen to their flattering words. But now, any random person could bully him, and the difference compared to before was simply indescribable. It's like a world of difference.

Shen Li forced a bitter smile. If Shen Lu knew about his current situation, he would probably think that he deserved it and that it was his just desserts.

Even Shen Li Qing herself now feels that she is alive just to bear the sins of her past. If it weren't for him, Shen Lu wouldn't have died. Shen Li Qing blames everything on herself.

If it weren't for his impulsiveness, how could Shen Lu have possibly gone into difficult labor due to her low emotions? When the hospital asked for a family member to sign the death certificate, Shen Liqing felt as if the world had become nothing but coldness and darkness.

Xun Yan sat in the room for a while and realized that the man had been in the bathroom for a long time without coming out. Xun Yan sensed that the man disliked being touched by others, especially after being treated that way by Bai Zhuo today. He was afraid that the man might become despondent.

Xun Yan suddenly thought of yesterday. He even hoped that the bathroom door would still be slightly ajar, but this time it was locked, as if it was deliberately done to keep him out. This made Xun Yan feel a bit anxious. Impatiently, he knocked on the bathroom door.

Shen Liqing was deeply absorbed in her thoughts as she stared at herself in the mirror. The sound of Xun Yan knocking on the door suddenly startled her, causing her to shake her head and turn off the shower. She then used a towel to dry her body.

"Why aren't you saying anything?!" Xun Yan heard movement coming from the bathroom, but Shen Liqing did not respond to him.

After about ten seconds, the door to the bathroom was opened, and Shen Liqing walked out wearing a set of pajamas that Xun Yan had bought for him yesterday, surprisingly fitting perfectly.

Originally, Xun Yan had many grievances in his heart. But when he saw Shen Liqing emerge, he didn't know how to speak. The ends of the man's hair were adorned with water droplets, revealing a smooth forehead. This attire made him appear younger. Xun Yan unexpectedly felt a desire to strip the man's clothing off his body, not forgetting the enticing sight of his nakedness he had seen before with Bai Zhuo.

Shen Liqing avoided Xun Yan and walked into the room. Xun Yan stood there in a daze for a few seconds before finally reacting. He gritted his teeth in anger. How dare this old man look down on him again.

"Today, I will sleep on the bed," Xun Yan spoke up.

This old man wants to specifically avoid him? Then he will go out of his way not to let it happen.

"Okay." Shen Liqing responded with a nod, taking a thin blanket and preparing to sleep on the sofa.

"You also have to sleep in the bed, otherwise I won't take you with me tomorrow," Xun Yan sneered. He knew that this was the best way to threaten a man.

Xun Yan noticed the tension in the man's body as he stood rigidly in place, feeling a sense of satisfaction well up inside him.

Shen Liqing had nothing left. He needed Xun Yan's help, so now, he could only choose to bear with Xun Yan's capriciousness.
