Aclatter noise comes through from the water and the water splashes around. A man suddenly launches himself from the water, with big splashes flying in all directions, and gets out of the pool in front of Gu Yanxi.

Gu Yanxi, startled as she is, gets up to duck water blooms. Qin Feng taunts Huo Yichen, “Yichen, you did that deliberately?!My drink is polluted by your bathwater.”

“Yichen?” Gu Yanxi hears this name.

Gu Yanxi turns back subconsciously,and looks at the man who has climbed ashore and is covered with beads of water. That man is Huo Yichen!

Their eyes meet together. Gu Yanxi, paralyzed as she is, is just like struck by lightning, with her eyes wide open.

Huo Yichen looks at Gu Yanxi, with a sense of chill flashing in his eyes. Then, he, with cold and lukewarm looks on his face, allowsa womanto scrub his body with the towel.

Qin Feng, pretendingto know nothing, introduces to Gu Yanxi, “Mich, do not be afraid. This is my friend, Mr. Huo.”

Gu Yanxi doesn’t know how much courage she gets up to come up to Huo Yichen. She tries several times before she says, “Hi, Mr. Huo.”

“Mich?” Huo Yichen says, with the provoked end syllable and a sharp glance.

Gu Yanxi, with her face turning deadly pale, clasps her handsnervously on both sides of her thighs, , and replies “Yes.”

“Mich, Mickey mouse. What a silly name! I cannot believethatthere is someone named Mich.” Huo Yichen says.

Huo Yichen utters a scornful laugh and throws his arms around the woman who is scrubbing his body, and says, “Lili, your name sounds nice.”

Lili, wearing a black bikini, rubs Huo Yichen’s chest with her body shyly, “Mr. Huo, it is embarrassed to hear that.”

Huo Yichen turns round and reclines on the deck chair which Gu Yanxi lied on just now. Wearing a pair of black boxer shorts, he exposes his good shape in a full view.

Lili, clever as she is, reaches out her hands to rub Huo Yichen’s shoulder, “Mr. Huo, you are really good at swimming. You have a beautiful figure. You must go to exercise regularly.”

Huo Yichen reaches out his hands, touches Lili’s back and looks down below her neck, and says, “Lili also has a nice figure.”

“Mister, you are so dirty.” Lili says shyly, while straighteningher back on purpose.

“Pinch my legs.” Huo Yichen says lazily, with his eyes closed.

Lili exerts herself to pinch Huo Yichen’s legs in haste. Her hands painted with red nails pinch Huo Yichen’s thighs now and then. She draws circles with her fingers especially when she pinches Huo Yichen’s thighs, which is really shameless. Huo Yichen enjoys her motions, with his eyes closed. He doesn’t intend tostop her exaggeratedbehavior at all.

Gu Yanxi looks at this scene, and takes her startled heart back slowly. She recovers gradually from the paralyzed status.

The relations between them – husband and wifetake intoeffect merely in the villa they livein. They are strangers when they go out of it. He doesn’t know her, vice versa.

Although she has no idea that Huo Yichen is Mr. Qin’s friend and also a very important customer in the club, what she can be sure is that there will bea rainstormafter they go back home. Now- the calm before the storm.

Qin Feng’s sight moves between Gu Yanxi and Huo Yichen, and he says suddenly, “Mich, swim around?”

Seeing Qin Feng get up and stretch, Gu Yanxi says with embarrassment, “I am poor at swimming.”

Qin Feng gives a conscious glance aside at Huo Yichen, and says deliberately, “It doesn’t matter. I will teach you. I like girls who are not good at swimming. Only in this way can I show my outstandingskillsand gentle patience.”

HearingQin Feng’s ambiguous words, Gu Yanxi, with her flushingface, beats her brain to find an excuse to refuse him.

Lili, standing aside, laughs suddenly, “Mich, I heard from Sister Liu that you’d rather die if youwere forced to serve asa gympartner. You have forgotten what you said several days before. That’s interesting…”

Gu Yanxi looks at Huo Yichen, with her lips pinched together. Huo Yichen still lies on the deck chair, with his eyes closed, as if it was none of his business.

Qin Feng, intending to play with Gu Yanxi, doesn’t want to cross the line. He scratches his nose, “Mich, you can leave if you are not willing to swim. Look at your reluctant face. Itseems as ifI am forcing a decentgirl to prostitute herself. ”

Of course, Gu Yanxi wants to leave. But she doesn’t know what’s wrong with her. Seeing Huo Yichen indulge Lili’sfumbling on his chest, she cannot surpass a tread.

A bold thought, with no care about her life, flashes into her mind, “Huo Yichen flirts with other women under my nose, why cannot I?”

On impulse, Gu Yanxi says to Qin Feng without any deliberate thought, “Mr. Qin, I heard from Sister Liu that you are quite generous. You can pay whatever I want. I want RMB 50,000.Can you?”

On her words, Qin Feng regards Gu Yanxi asa “hot potato”. If he lets her go, itwill beover. What he didn’t expect is that she has the courage to get money from him in front of Huo Yichen.

“Damn, what she did is to throw me to the wolves!” Qin Feng says to himself.

If he says no money, he will ruin his fame and has no leg to stand on. If he gives her money, Huo Yichen, the bastard, may kill him soon.

“Well…” Qin Feng gives Huo Yichen a glance, soliciting a little hintfromHuo Yichen. However, Huo Yichen is sitting in repose with his eyes closed, just likea calm monk without anyworldly passion, in spite of Qin Feng’s desperate circumstance.

Qin Feng grits his teeth and stamps, “Of course, I will give you that money.”

After getting Qin Feng’s recognition, Gu Yanxi takes two steps forward and jumps into the pool. She swimspretty well. What she can be sure is that since she will not get good result after going back home, now she can receive a quick death. RMB 50,000, it’s worth trying!

Gu Yanxi dives in the pool and swims dozens of meters. Shedrills her head from the water suddenly and wipes off the water on her face when Qin Feng feels that she keeps her mouth closed for some minutes. She speaks ina silvery voice, “Mr. Qin, come on.”

Qin Feng is about to cry – before him is a sweet summon whileafter him is evil wind blast. He complains in his heart, “Yourefuse totalk with each other after going back home. Is it fun to play with me?”

Qin Feng’s fox-likedeyes roll over. Then, heholds his stomach with his hands, “Shit, what did I eat?!I have a stomachache. Mich, I cannot swim any more.You can go back now. Take RMB50,000 from my account, I’m…ow, no, my stomach is aching so much.”

Holding his stomach with his hands, Qin Feng runs away. It is the first time for him to run away in such a humiliated way over theseyears.

Gu Yanxi blinks her eyes in the water. It’s over?

Breathing a sigh of relief, Gu Yanxi doesn’t want to see Huo Yichen any more. She swims to ashore far away from Huo Yichen, puts on a neatly folded towel and strides away.

After changing her clothes, Gu Yanxi takes RMB 50,000 from Qin Feng’s account, and Sister Liu pays her RMB 5,000. Gu Yanxi takes all hersavingsto the detective agency without a single halt.

Flingingher money on the table, Gu Yanxi says, “I want you to spy two persons.”

After going back home, Gu Yanxi feels the repression in the air, as if the air was frozen. Shecannot breathe.

She, looking up subconsciously, findsHuo Yichen who is sitting on the sofa with his face darkening with anger. He, with his sharp eyes, isstaringat her, as if he wanted to lynch her.

Having prepared, Gu Yanxi changes her shoes and walks to Huo Yichen slowly, “You…you are back.”
