Leaving Tangtang to play on her own, Mo Heng picked up a bath towel and walked over to the shower cubicle next door.

Not long after, Mo Heng walked out of the shower cubicle with a towel wrapped around his bare waist.

In the misty room, Mo Heng looked just like a banished deity rising up from the dust. His austere face and impeccable figure made him the perfect example of the phrase “pure yet seductive.”

Wah—

Tangtang let slip a soft exclamation of surprise. She swam towards the edge of the bathtub and propped up her chin on her pudgy arms, which she pressed onto the ledge, and looked up at Mo Heng.

“Big Brother Mo Heng is really good looking,” she thought.

Royal Father and Mother constantly said that members of the mermaid clan were refined and noble, and that they were the most beautiful species in the world.

But those male mermaids she’d seen in the past couldn’t compare to Big Brother Mo Heng.

Especially the criss-cross lines on his abdomen. Mermaids didn’t have those.

Tangtang had touched his abs before. They were firm, but also pillowy to the touch.

Tangtang really liked them.

Underneath…

Tangtang discovered yet another rarity.

Big Brother Mo Heng’s legs were really long!

She silently glanced at her own stocky, fat little legs, and then compared them to Mo Heng’s straight, long, and sturdy legs. Her eyes instantly sparkled with admiration.

Aiya, Big Brother Mo Heng’s towel is in the way.

She couldn’t tell how long Big Brother Mo Heng’s legs really were.

When Mo Heng saw Tangtang salivating at his long legs, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He recalled the embarrassing song lyrics that his fans had made up about him [1]:

Big Brother’s legs are not legs.

They’re spring water flowing in River Seine.

Big Brother’s back is not a back.

It’s a Bulgarian rose.

Big Brother’s waist is not a waist

It’s a curved dagger that can take a life.

Big Brother’s mouth is not a mouth.

It’s the fresh water under Anhe Bridge.

The more Mo Heng thought about these lyrics, the redder his face became. He used a towel and rubbed it against his damp hair before throwing it onto Tangtang’s head, effectively blocking the curious child’s line of sight. Then, he turned around to change his clothes.

What is the spring water of River Seine? Why does the spring water of River Seine make Big Brother Mo Heng shy?

Mo Heng was in no rush to head back into the bathroom. After changing his clothes, he sorted out a few things in the study room. When he finally went back to the bathroom, Tangtang was in the same state she had been in back in the island’s infinity pool. Her fair belly was poking out of the water, drifting with the ripples in the bathtub.

Now, Mo Heng finally understood. This little kid had tired herself out playing and was now fast asleep.

The bathroom was like a dragon king’s flooded temple. There wasn’t even a place for him to set his foot down.

Mo Heng shook his head helplessly. Then, he bent over, fished Tangtang out of the water, and dried off her little body. It was hard to say where such patience and good-temperedness had sprung from.

Without water, her fishtail soon became the small, pudgy legs of an infant. They even gave Mo Heng’s legs a mighty kick.

Gu mansion.

After hanging up on the agent, Yu Jiaojiao collapsed onto the Gu Mansion’s limited-edition luxury sofa, in tears.

After being on hiatus for 10 years, she had finally made up her mind to make a reappearance via the parent and child variety show she had just agreed to be on.

After taking a series of beautifully mesmerizing pictures and uploading them to the internet, she had even paid people to make flattering comments. In the end, a 20-year-old junior, who was top in the ranks for most-searched-for people, had snatched the spotlight away from her.

Yu Jiaojiao didn’t care about all the money she’d spent.

What she cared about was her pride, which had been trampled on.

A few marketing accounts had even attempted to fan the flames, but when they realized that she hadn’t received any attention even though she had paid to be on the top-searched list, they mocked her for retiring in her prime and for being outdated…

Yu Jiaojiao couldn’t stand this injustice.

She clutched her chest. She hated herself for marrying Gu Yuanzheng, the oldest son of the Gu Corporation.

Ever since they had married several years ago, she’d lived a decadent, extravagant lifestyle. However, she was forbidden from divulging anything. In the rare event that she bumped into her former colleagues at an elite reception, she even had to shed crocodile tears about her supposed poverty and pretend to be pitiful…
