chapter 11 Xavier Si, you have changed so much

His elegant faint scent, coupled with his teasing tone and their intimate posture, made the air feel thinner.

Xavier Si was still wearing yesterday's clothes. On his assertive face was a charming smile, and as the radiant morning sun shone on him, he looked like a prince charming straight out of a painting...

Olivia Xia's breath caught, her large watery eyes glimmering with a touch of bewilderment and astonishment. Her slightly opened lips shone with an enticing light, glistening attractively.

Xavier's gaze fell upon her red lips, his eyes deepening, and his breathing became instinctively rapid.

At this moment, the ambiance in the room was at its peak of intimacy.

Olivia remained dumbfounded for quite some time, unable to utter a word or push him away, just standing there in a daze.

Until...

"Ha..." Xavier was amused by her stunned look, gently pinched her face, and raised an eyebrow, "Speechless?"

Olivia Xia suddenly remembered that his previous words were mocking her. Angrily, she pushed him away and said, "Nonsense! I was looking at you because you had something in your eye. I was trying to help you, but instead of being grateful, you slander me?"

"Oh?" Xavier looked at the blushing Olivia, straightened himself gracefully, then smirked at her.

Feeling very awkward under his gaze, Olivia diverted the subject, "I haven't asked yet, why were you in my bed? Who took advantage of whom?"

Xavier Si crossed his arms in front of his chest, laughing wickedly, "Need me to remind you how last night you clung to me, refusing to let go and touching me all over?"

Olivia froze, recalling images of her being drunk last night...

It seemed that after Xavier brought her back, she indeed... refused to let him go?

Regret and embarrassment filled her. She had always been a moderate drinker, but last night...

She cast an annoyed glance at the smug-looking Xavier, lifted her chin proudly, and said with a smile, "Oh? Did that happen? Sorry, I don't remember since I was drunk. Besides, it was our wedding night. If you wanted to stay in my room, I understand. Don't make excuses, ok? I prefer you being honest..."

With that, Olivia closed the bathroom door and locked it. Her formerly calm and elegant face now displayed embarrassment, regret, and anger.

She must have been drunk out of her mind!

How could she make the same mistake twice?

She blamed Xavier's irresistible charm.

Olivia showered while cursing Xavier in her heart. However, after her shower, she found no towel or any clothes to change into. And the clothes she had worn were wet...

She sighed deeply, thinking about how she was experiencing all of life's awkwardness in one morning.

She didn't know what she was thinking when she called out to Xavier. Yet she knew she must have looked particularly embarrassed.

"Xavier, are you there?" She called several times but received no reply. Becoming anxious, she thought, if he isn't here...

"Xavier..."

Olivia called his name and finally decided to leave the bathroom to find clothes. However...

"Ah!"

As she peeked out, she found Xavier, arms crossed, smirking at her.

Startled, Olivia quickly closed the door and shouted, "Xavier, you pervert! Why didn't you make a sound?"

Innocently, Xavier replied from outside, "I just came in..."

He had gone out to buy breakfast and just returned when he heard Olivia calling him.

Without waiting for an explanation, Olivia yelled, "Enough of your excuses, you creep! Leave and lock the door behind you."

Xavier left silently but before he could shut the door, Olivia shouted, "Wait!"

"Bring me a robe!"

Xavier glanced at the towel hanging on the balcony and smirked.

He took a fresh robe from the wardrobe and approached the bathroom, teasingly asking, "Are you sure you want a robe from a 'big pervert'?"

Blushing, Olivia peeked out, warning him, "If you dare try anything, you'll regret it."

Seeing Olivia's rosy post-shower glow, Xavier's suppressed desires from the previous night stirred again.

Swallowing hard, he asked huskily, "How will I regret it?"

Embarrassed, Olivia quickly grabbed the robe but couldn't pull it away. Angrily, she reminded, "Remember our agreement."

Smirking, Xavier replied, "Our agreement didn't mention giving out robes."

Annoyed, Olivia asked, "So, what do you want?"

Xavier playfully retorted, "What do you want?"

Olivia realized she might have overreacted. Taking a moment to calm herself, she thought that he really hadn't done anything inappropriate.

She cleared her throat awkwardly and looked away, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xavier Si didn't tease Olivia further, handing her the bathrobe and even helped close the door for her.

However, once he turned away, he had to close his eyes and take a deep breath to compose both his body and mind.

What a way to start the morning...

About ten minutes later, Olivia, dressed and ready, entered the living room to find Xavier Si had already finished his breakfast and was preparing to leave.

"I have some matters to attend to," Xavier said, glancing at Olivia.

Olivia looked briefly at the breakfast on the table and responded with a nod, "Thanks."

It was already half past eight. He indeed should be heading to work at the hotel.

As for her...

After getting herself ready, Olivia hailed a taxi to the hospital. By the time she arrived, it was already ten in the morning.

In her hand, she held her mother's favorite snacks, which she had queued for over half an hour to buy, and her mother's beloved lily fragrance. As she walked down the hospital corridor, her steps felt heavy.

However, as she approached her mother's room, she heard a commotion from inside.

Olivia's heart raced as she hurriedly stepped forward. Inside, she heard Mia Zhao's feigned gentle voice.

"Ms. Xue, we are doing this for Olivia's good. You don't know what Olivia has become in the years she spent abroad. It's bad enough that she hangs out with questionable men, but she's even gotten into sugaring. She's bound to ruin herself sooner or later."

"I and Tyrone are thinking about her future. If you're not going to help persuade her and instead get angry with us, then you're just biting the hand that feeds."
