Chapter 13: The Fake Heiress of the Wealthy Family (Part 13)

Hot water sprayed from the showerhead, pattering onto the tiles.

The entire bathroom was filled with steam.

The hand pressing against Shen Ke tightened slightly. Just being stared at by Shen Ke like this made her feel it.

She had never imagined she would feel such intense desire for someone of the same gender.

She wanted to rip off Shen Ke’s clothes and lick every inch of her body.

She wanted to make Shen Ke tremble from her touches.

Just the thought of it sent waves of excitement surging to her brain, making her scalp tingle.

It was Shen Ke who had pursued her first, coquettishly using those red lips to speak sweet words and honeyed phrases.

She had lured her into this circle.

Did Shen Ke know how heart-stirring it was every time she lifted that flawless face of hers and gazed at someone with those round, glossy black eyes?

Shen Ke, you can’t escape.

“Baby, if you keep staring at me like that, I’ll feel it too.” Shi Xu’s breathing was heavy, her gaze never leaving Shen Ke.

They weren’t even that close, but Shi Xu’s words made Shen Ke’s entire body heat up.

“Pervert! Shi Xu! You pervert! Let me go!” Shen Ke was both shy and furious, her red lips pressed tightly together, the plump petals dented from the pressure.

She tried to break free from Shi Xu’s grip, but Shi Xu held on tight.

Shi Xu panted for breath, her eyes falling on those lips as her breathing grew heavier.

She wanted Shen Ke so badly.

Water droplets slid down along the contours of her muscles.

“Baby, don’t be mad. I won’t do anything to you. I won’t force you if you don’t want it.”

“It’s just… we’ve been together for a month now, but we’re not even as close as you and Feng Jian. It makes me so jealous.” Her hoarse voice dripped with lust.

“Baby, just let me hold your hand, please.” Shi Xu’s eyes brimmed with pitiful longing, and with her hair dripping wet, she looked rather pitiable.

Shen Ke wasn’t feeling merciful. She snarled viciously, “Dead Pervert! Let me go!” followed by an extremely spoiled cold snort.

The moment Shen Ke spat out those words, Shi Xu started up again.

She stared straight at her, the flames of desire in her eyes threatening to drown her.

Shen Ke bit down hard on her lip, her eyes turning red from anger.

Shi Xu pulled Shen Ke’s hand over, placing that soft palm against her own lips. She said nothing, her gaze locked fixedly on Shen Ke.

Shen Ke’s cheeks burned bright red, her eyelashes trembling violently. Shi Xu’s stare was too scorching; she could only look away.

This was also her first time seeing someone else’s naked body without any cover.

And the other person was in such a posture, completely unreserved.

Her shame and fury knew no bounds.

Her palm still rested over Shi Xu’s soft lips, itching slightly from the hot breaths spraying across her palm.

Shen Ke clenched her teeth. The stark naked Shi Xu left her utterly disarmed.

“Shen Ke, mm.”

The ambiguous pants grew more urgent.

“Baby, want to take a look?”

Shen Ke couldn’t take it anymore. She squeezed her eyes shut, kicked out with her foot, and struck Shi Xu’s calf while cursing, “Dead Pervert! Let me go!”

Shi Xu gazed at Shen Ke’s vivid, anger-flushed features, her own emotions burning even hotter. Her calf stung a little—it was clear Shen Ke was truly pissed.

But Shen Ke, you couldn’t treat her like that. It only made her feel even more.

Anything Shen Ke gave her, whether pain or something else, she found nothing but pleasure in it.

“Urgh.”

Shi Xu’s voice grew even hoarser.

Shen Ke didn’t dare look any longer. She struggled fiercely again, thinking her strength wouldn’t be enough to break free. But in the next second, Shi Xu’s hand slackened, and Shen Ke plopped down onto the floor on her butt.

It hurt—a lot. Shen Ke furrowed her brows and instinctively looked up, her eyes locking straight onto the spot Shi Xu was touching.

She had tried her hardest not to look before, but now, there was no clearer view than this angle.

Shen Ke’s eyes widened, her red lips parting slightly. In that instant, she even forgot the pain.

Shi Xu clenched her hand tighter. She hadn’t meant for Shen Ke to fall, but Shen Ke had struggled too violently, and with what she was doing, her body had gone soft, causing her grip to slip.

She should have rushed to help Shen Ke up right away, but Shen Ke looked far too tempting in this position. She couldn’t tear her eyes away.

Right now, Shen Ke was at her feet, her legs splayed open from the fall.

Her short skirt had hiked up, exposing her long, pale legs in full view.

Along with those shocked eyes, parted lips, and the faint glimpse of her mouth.

She wanted to kiss her so badly.

“Shen Ke—”

A droplet of water fell onto her foot. In an instant, Shen Ke curled her toes, her eyes growing misty.

All her fiery spirit vanished in that moment.

Shi Xu was too lewd.

How could there be so much water?

“Pervert.” Even her curse came out softer.

She knew she should get up and leave right away, but her butt throbbed, her feet felt weak, and her whole body burned like she had a fever. She had no strength at all.

Shi Xu let out a deep breath, stood up, washed her hands, then came over to Shen Ke’s side and scooped her up in one go.

Before Shen Ke could start struggling, she struck first: “Baby, don’t be mad. I only acted like that because I like you too much.”

“Don’t be afraid of me. If you don’t want it, I won’t do anything excessive to you.”

Shen Ke pursed her lips and let out a cold snort. “I’m not afraid. It’s just that you got it on my foot. I don’t like that.” Her flushed cheeks robbed her words of any persuasiveness. She had grown used to Shi Xu calling her Baby and was too lazy to correct her.

Shi Xu lowered her eyelids, hiding the surging emotions in her eyes. Her voice still carried a hint of lust, somewhat hoarse. “Sorry, I went too far. Shen Ke, you’re not going to move out, are you?” Even her stubborn act was adorable.

Shen Ke gritted her teeth. Thinking back to what had just happened annoyed her to no end, especially since Shi Xu still wasn’t dressed.

Suddenly, Shi Xu’s face caught another slap, accompanied by Shen Ke’s tirade: “Dead Pervert! From now on, you better serve me properly! How dare you make me see something like that!”

This meant she wasn’t moving out. Shi Xu narrowed her eyes, set Shen Ke down on the lounge chair, and asked with concern, “Baby, did you hurt yourself anywhere in the fall?”

Shen Ke huffed loudly. “I’m not that fragile! Hurry up and go take your shower!” Her arrogance flared up again.

Shen Ke had a natural talent—like a sixth sense—for sensing how much others tolerated her, then pushing the limits further. But she seemed oblivious to it herself.

Shi Xu curved her lips. “Alright, I’ll go take my shower first.”

Once Shi Xu had fully closed the bathroom door, Shen Ke clenched her fists and thumped her thigh hard. The heat in her face hadn’t faded at all.

Sure, Shi Xu had done that right in front of her face, but unlike Shen Yi, she hadn’t forced a kiss on her.

Besides, Shi Xu liked her—that was why she did it.

She’d let it slide this time.

Shen Ke bit her lower lip. She still had to live at Shi Xu’s place. Sure, she had money and her own house, but she didn’t want to live alone or stay with strangers.

Shi Xu was the best option right now.

After changing into a nightgown, Shen Ke lay on the bed. After all that, her sleepiness had completely vanished.

She pulled out her phone and scrolled around. It had been so long, but no one from the Shen Family had sent her a single message.

As expected, they didn’t like her.

Disgusting. They’d lived together for so long, and in the end, she still couldn’t compare to a biological child who’d only shown up a few days ago.

Heh, and that lunatic Feng Jian—she did whatever Feng Jian said. Shen Ke had really misjudged her; she’d thought she was some honest person.

Her thoughts swirled chaotically as time ticked by. She set down her phone and yawned. Why hadn’t Shi Xu come out yet?

It had been over half an hour.

Just as she thought that, the bathroom door clicked open.

Shen Ke turned her head and saw Shi Xu coming out with a small basin.

“What’s that?” Shen Ke asked casually.

“Baby, your underwear and panties. I’ve already washed them for you,” Shi Xu said.

Boom—Shen Ke felt her brain explode. She shot up from the bed. “Shi Xu!” Her cheeks flushed crimson once more.

Shi Xu raised a brow, walked to the balcony, and took the delicates out of the basin, hanging them on the rack. “I said I’d serve you well. Washing your clothes is the bare minimum.”

Shen Ke glared at her fiercely, like a bristled little cat. “Dead Pervert!”

Shi Xu on the balcony couldn’t hide the smile lighting up her face. The way Shen Ke cursed her was just too cute.

After cursing, Shen Ke yanked the thin blanket over herself entirely, her cheeks burning red. Shi Xu had actually washed her underwear and panties—too embarrassing.

She might not be a good person, but even she felt shame about something like this.

It was all Shi Xu’s fault! She wouldn’t give her any good looks from now on!

The next day, Shi Xu woke her from bed. Staring at the cramped room, Shen Ke blinked, her mind slowly clearing. Oh, right—she wasn’t in her hundred-square-meter big bedroom anymore.

She sat up, intending to get out of bed and get dressed. Her luggage had long been unpacked, all her clothes stowed in Shi Xu’s closet.

But before her feet could touch the floor, Shi Xu leaned in close. “Baby, want me to carry you to the bathroom?”

Shen Ke’s brain was still foggy. She nodded subconsciously. In the next second, her body lifted into the air, and she snapped fully awake. “Shi Xu! What are you doing?!”

Shi Xu said nothing, carried her straight to the bathroom, and gently set her down. In a pitiful tone, she said, “You told me to serve you properly.”

Shen Ke’s brows knotted tightly. She shot a glance at the fully dressed Shi Xu. Something felt off, but with someone so eager to wait on her, there was no reason to refuse. She huffed, “You’d better not be scheming anything.”

Shi Xu showed no sign of bringing up last night. Shen Ke breathed a quiet sigh of relief and pretended nothing had happened, her tone harsh. “Did you hear me? If you have any bad ideas, I won’t let you off!”

“You called me a dumb rich girl, and I still haven’t settled that score with you!”

Shi Xu squeezed toothpaste onto the brush for Shen Ke, her face full of sincerity. “Baby, I just want to do better. Please forgive me and get back together with me.” She held the toothbrush up to Shen Ke’s mouth, clearly intending to brush her teeth for her.

Shen Ke snatched the toothbrush away and unceremoniously snapped, “Get out—now!”

Shi Xu lowered her eyes, looking utterly dejected. If she had ears, they’d probably be drooping right then.

Shi Xu’s home wasn’t far from school—a half-hour bus ride.

Standing at the bus stop, Shen Ke couldn’t help complaining, “This sucks. I don’t want to take the bus.” She was spoiled by nature, and even standing there a short while had her annoyed, her pretty brows furrowed.

“It’s all your fault. If your family wasn’t poor, I wouldn’t have to wait around for the bus like this.”

It was the kind of unreasonable statement no one else would accept.

But Shi Xu just soothed her softly. “Baby, don’t be impatient. In a few days, we’ll have a car, so no more squeezing onto the bus. Or we can take a taxi.”

She had her own little savings. Whenever she had time, she’d help her dad with work, and over the years, she’d saved up some money. True, it was all gone after buying the car, but Shen Ke was the little rose carefully nurtured by the Shen Family.

She couldn’t let her wither just because she’d come to her place.

As long as they were together, she’d make Shen Ke happy.

That’s why she’d handed her savings to her dad first thing that morning to go look for a car.

Shen Ke pouted. “No way. Taxis smell bad.”

Shi Xu nodded, lowered her eyes, and gently tugged at Shen Ke’s hand. “Baby, the bus is here. Let me take you on board.”

The morning bus was packed.

Shi Xu held Shen Ke’s hand and waited until everyone else had boarded before guiding her on.

The bus was already sardine-tight. Shen Ke’s brows were pinched tight.

“This sucks. All your fault!” Shen Ke muttered under her breath.

With the crowd pressing in, Shen Ke had no choice but to lean into Shi Xu’s chest.

Her hands pressed against Shi Xu’s chest, her expression sour as ever.
