Chapter 517: Private Pool
Tang Luo had been living on tenterhooks for the past couple of days.
Mo Bonan wanted to teach her to swim, and she had turned him down with the pretext that she was unwell.
She did catch a cold after previously falling into the pool, so Mo Bonan did not insist on it.
However, two days had pa.s.sed, and Tang Luo couldn’t help but panic because Mo Bonan was about to make a move again.
How could she not panic? Xia Xibei hadn’t even given her the corset that she wanted.
Luckily, Xia Xibei was a reliable friend, for she brought her the corset she wanted right after she came back.
She felt so much more relieved even before putting it on, because she’d always had total trust in Xia Xibei.
“I found a pool for just the two of us,” Tang Luo said in a m.u.f.fled voice.
“Great,” Xia Xibei nodded.
The two of them set off right after dismissal, heading straight for a villa in the suburbs.
It was a well-known resort for vacation, and sure enough, the expenses would be high as well.
The villa was equipped with a tennis court, pools, basketball court, restaurants, and sauna rooms… All that one could imagine.
As long as you could afford them, it would be all yours to enjoy.
Most importantly, there were mini pools where the guests could enjoy swimming without any disturbance.
It took Tang Luo quite some effort to find this place.
The two of them even went to purchase men’s swim shorts on their way to the villa.
At last, Xia Xibei put on a disguise and entered the villa alongside Tang Luo, a bulging duffle bag on her back.
As the cab was driven through the gates of the villa, they were amazed by the lush greenery, stretching endlessly before their eyes.
Xia Xibei couldn’t help but sigh with awe along the way. This exquisite, picturesque place was indeed worth the price.
She would be lavis.h.i.+ng her fortune on such luxuries too if she were rich.
As she relished the scenery outside, a car pa.s.sed them by.
Xia Xibei suppressed a gasp of shock.
She leaned forward to get a closer look, and much to her surprise, she saw that it was Qiao Yanjue’s car!
What was he here for?
She quickly banished the doubt in her mind. A lot of wealthy businessmen came here for business talks.
And it wasn’t like she could go to him, could she?
What would she say if she did? That it was such a coincidence that they ran into each other?
“What are you looking at?”
Tang Luo couldn’t help but ask when she saw the unfathomable look on her face.
“Nothing,” Xia Xibei shook her head, pulling herself back to reality.
Tang Luo was the matter of concern right now.
Tang Luo did not press on, and they arrived at the entrance in silence.
The two made their way into the villa after getting out of the cab.
Xia Xibei tensed a little as they pa.s.sed the hallway, because she had seen Huo Zijun.
Oh, so Qiao Yanjue was here with Huo Zijun.
The gloom in her chest dissipated as the realization struck her, and she looked a lot more cheerful.
“Alright, let’s get inside,” she hastened.
“Okay.”
Tang Luo looked at her in puzzlement but did not question her.
Very soon, the waiter led them to the private pool that Tang Luo had booked.
It wasn’t a large pool, about 10 meters in length and 5 meters in width, which was more than enough s.p.a.ce for the two of them to swim in.
“Let’s get changed,” Xia Xibei said, after the waiter had left and she’d made sure that there weren’t any cameras around.
“Change into… Which one?” Tang Luo asked tentatively.
She had brought two swimming suits, a women’s one and a men’s one.
“The men’s one.”
Tang Luo looked unnerved, “But the men’s one… It doesn’t have a top.”
“It’s fine, just take your clothes off first. I’ll help you put the corset on.”
“Huh?” Taken aback, Tang Luo blushed. “You’re going to help me with it?”
“Get changed! We don’t have much time,” Xia Xibei demanded. “We’re both girls, what are you afraid of!”
Tang Luo took her s.h.i.+rt off rather sheepishly, exposing the upper part of her body, which was clad in a corset.
“Take this one off.”
“I…”
“Take it off,” Xia Xibei instructed in a gentle but uncompromising voice.
Tang Luo took a deep breath and removed the corset at long last.
