Chapter 38 - 38 She is Huo Yanting's Woman
Lin Banxia turned her head and found that the other person looked like a high school girl—just over 1.6 meters tall with a petite frame, a cute, baby-like face, black bangs, a ponytail, and a purple backpack slung over her shoulders. Her youthful charm was undeniable.
"Little sister, can you..."
"No, what's your relationship with my uncle? If you don't tell me, I'll send your photos out..." Tong Keke immediately reached into her backpack for her phone.
Lin Banxia let out two startled cries, and then *click-click*—her bathing photos were captured on the other person's phone.
"Hey, little sister, can you stop it already? Who exactly is your uncle?" Lin Banxia, even though only twenty-two herself, felt as if her heart was aged beyond its years due to the experiences of her past life.
"My uncle is Gu Qianxi! You were showering in his room. Are you two..." Her wide, dark eyes glistened with moisture, and her voice was already choking with emotion.
"Dean Gu is your uncle? It's a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding! I only borrowed his bathroom to take a shower. I have nothing to do with him," Lin Banxia hurried to explain.
"I don't believe you! If there's nothing going on between you two, why would he let you shower here?" Tong Keke demanded angrily.
"Because... because we're friends!"
Tong Keke grew even angrier, holding up her phone: "Women like you, without any shame, I've seen plenty. You're not the first, and you definitely won't be the last. Don't think that stripping naked to shower in my uncle's room means he'll fancy you. Stop dreaming!"
Lin Banxia: "..."
She really had no such intent.
The door to the lounge was pushed open again, and a young nurse walked in, holding a set of clothes. When she saw Tong Keke, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Miss Keke, you're here!"
Tong Keke, red-eyed, plopped angrily onto the sofa.
The young nurse noticed her mood and didn't dare provoke her further. She walked toward the bathroom and said, "Miss Lin, I've found some clothes for you. Please make do with them."
After putting down the clothes, the nurse hurriedly left.
"Thank you!" Lin Banxia quickly grabbed the clothes and began dressing.
When she walked out, drying her dripping hair, she saw the sulking young girl on the sofa. Thinking about the photos still stored on her phone, she spoke kindly: "Little sister, I'm not the kind of woman you think I am. I'm a patient of your uncle."
"I think you're really sick—running into my uncle's room to strip and shower," Tong Keke retorted, still glaring at her angrily.
Lin Banxia was already at a loss.
The two of them—a young girl and an older girl—had been locked in a standoff for over an hour in the room.
When the door of the lounge was pushed open again, two tall, elegant figures stepped inside. Immediately, the two girls stood up from where they were sitting.
"Keke..." Gu Qianxi, upon seeing the girl dressed in a dizzying short skirt and a somewhat seductive camisole, had his handsome face darken halfway.
"Uncle, what's your relationship with this woman? You promised you wouldn't get a girlfriend until I turned twenty, but you lied!" Tong Keke, feeling utterly wronged, ran over to question him.
Lin Banxia's gaze, however, fell on the man beside him. Dressed in a black suit, the man exuded an aura both powerful and noble. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
In his hand, he held a woman's bag. When Lin Banxia saw it, she stepped forward hastily: "That's my bag!"
Huo Yanting directly tossed the bag to her, and Lin Banxia quickly caught it, opening the bag to check her belongings.
Thankfully, nothing was missing.
Gu Qianxi's handsome face was filled with helplessness as he patiently explained, "Keke, you've misunderstood. She's not my woman—she's your Uncle Huo's."
Hearing this, Lin Banxia's beautiful eyes froze in shock as she stared at Huo Yanting.
