20 Relaxed

"Ugh, I am so tired!" Mo Yifan plopped down in the sofa in the living room as soon as they came.

It was already evening and they had decided to not stop at any restaurant because Mo Yifan was on diet and Chen Waan was vegetarian.

Chen Waan glanced at the two and not knowing what to talk about, she headed to the kitchen. Just then, Wang Zibo's phone rang.

"Yes father. Got it," he answered the phone and got new instructions from his dad. It seemed like he was much more casual about this new arrangement than he had previously shown.

"Dad is calling me for something. I guess I'll have to spend night at home," Wang Zibo announced suddenly.

"What!" Mo Yifan got up from his seat, frost settling over his face. That old bastard, he was doing it on purpose. It was not like him and this girl were supposed to be in a relationship. All she was to him was a manager, a translator and in the future, may be, a duo partner.

He looked at the girl who was also standing in the kitchen, a bit upset. He was the one who was supposed to be upset! Why was this girl looking angry?

"It's okay, I will be in my room anyway. You can go ahead Manager Wang. I'll head to my room with dinner," she casually suggested. She was uncomfortable with the situation as well, but this was the choice she had made. She would have felt more secure if Wang Zibo was here but if the boss was calling him, he was calling him. She could not do anything.

Seeing her calmly accept things, Mo Yifan also decided to be a bigger person and went back to his beloved sofa. He had finally gotten a day off but ended up spending it in entertaining this foreigner. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Chen Waan also quietly took her dinner in her room and had a sumptuous meal with whatever Mrs. Zhou had left for her. That warmth and love from her homemade food she felt was something she had always craved for.

Not that Li grandma did not love her. But she was also too busy with making ends meet and support her own granddaughter, that too in a foreign country.

"Hmm… I should take a bath. But Mrs. Zhou said no bathrooms are working," she mumbled to herself after having had some rest.

She checked the bathroom in her room but there was no water there. She realized probably the plumbing issue still had not been fixed.

Chen Waan took her essentials and went downstairs. Mo Yifan was still sleeping soundly. She tiptoes around the house so as to not disturb the monster in the house.

"Oh my, I could only dream of getting into such a big bathtub," she squealed with joy when she saw that the jacuzzi in the bathroom was just so big, she could practically swim in it. She had not had a chance to explore the bath properly earlier because of another temper tantrum from the star. Now she could not take her eyes off the bathtub.

The bathroom was as big as half of her house back in Europe. After the entrance, there was huge empty space in front. This was where Mo Yifan had insulted her a few hours ago, even trapping her against the door.

On the left, there was a washbasin, exquisitely embellished with plants and a dim yellow light. On the right, in one corner, there was an expensive bidet, replete with all the functions including temperature adjustment and music.

And then, at the farther back was the jacuzzi half hidden behind the glass. The aesthetics of the bathroom was definitely something like out of a big seven star hotel. Even the tiles covering the walls till top looked top notch. Damn these rich people.

She filled the tub with water and found a few more essentials arranged for her to use by Mrs. Zhou. The lady was a warm and caring person, she had to give her that.

Finally, it was time to get rid of the grime on her body she had accumulated for past three days due to travel. She was feeling so disgusted and irritated because she could not freshen up at the hotel as well. Thankfully it was winter, so she did not smell.

She stepped into the warm water and immediately a relaxed groan escaped her mouth. This was what one could describe as living their life.

"Oh God, this hits the spot," she just let go and laid in the water with her back against the tub. Looking at the ceiling, she reflected back on her last two days.

She had traveled halfway across the world and had signed a contract at one of the biggest entertainment companies in China. She was easily communicating in one of the hardest languages on earth. And now, she was living in lap of such luxury. It was still unbelievable to her.

Now she needed to make future plans. Unfortunately, her scheduling and planning were in hands of Wang Zenghao. What she could do right now was to just observe people around her and learn as much as possible. She had jumped into a completely new territory after all.

Time ticked and the water droplets from the steam were covering the glass surfaces around. This kind of quiet atmosphere, where only the sound of droplets from the tap into the rub could be heard, was something Chen Waan had never experienced.

There was chaos all around her for past eighteen years of her life. Orphanage was noisy, even Europe was a place where the life was just fast and fleeting away. This silence was so soothing. Suddenly she realized what a good decision she made.

She wanted to enjoy this quietness, the time to herself, not thinking about food or her living arrangements for next day. She had been quite in despair earlier because of the slave contract she signed, but now she was thankful to the old man. Of course, she would need to work even harder to earn all this.

Inside the bathroom, she was working on her mental fortitude, when she heard the doorknob click. She looked towards the door, then went back to her thought process since she had locked it from inside. This Mo Yifan.

Oh wait, there was only one bathroom functioning. What if it was an emergency? She stood up, the water sliding down her perfect figure with a splash.

She was just reaching out for the towel she had placed on the glass separator when the door to the bathroom opened suddenly.

"Kyaaaaa~" she screamed.
