Just a Mistake Every Man Would Make

Jiang Lan held Yu Hairou's ivory-white, smooth legs in both hands. With no fabric between them, he could vividly feel the softness, delicacy, and springiness of her skin.

Yu Hairou lay stiffly against Jiang Lan's back, her cheeks burning hot and her heart pounding wildly.

When they returned to the inn, Shui Qingrou placed the sleeping Shui Yue'er on the bed
