Chapter 7 - Bathhouse

Chapter 7 - Bathhouse

Forget it. It wouldn't be too late to deal with that two-faced family surnamed Qi in the future.
Thinking this, Lu Xiao felt stifled when he remembered how that other daughter despised him. She wouldn't even eat with him outside, let alone go to a bathhouse together. Lu Xiao was worried that this daughter would be the same.
After all, pretty daughters from humble families like theirs, which was made up of a bunch of boors, had to be refined ladies!
Nervous, Lu Xiao hurried to change his words, but heard his daughter laugh sweetly. "Sure!
"It just so happens that my Ergou is very dirty. I don't know what rubbish dump he came running out from. Can we take a bath first and then eat? I'm worried that the restaurant won't let him in." When she had eaten with Brother Xiao Chuan earlier, Ergou had hidden in her bag the entire time. She hadn't dared to make a sound because she was worried about disturbing other people while they ate. In the end, she hadn't eaten that much!
As Lu An spoke, she took out the dirty Little Tyrant Dragon from her bag.
That tiny lump was terribly dirty. And it stank, it stank!
"Hahaha!"
The man suddenly laughed heartily and pressed a button as he said, "Alright, let's go!"
The father and daughter got into the car in a cordial atmosphere.
On the way, Lu Xiao secretly sent a message to his subordinates: [Bring people to my place right now. Turn my previous daughter's room into a storage room and do up a new one next to it for my real daughter.]
"Oh, right. Daughter, what color do you like?"
Lu An was leaning against the car window and reading when her father suddenly asked the question. The little girl was a little puzzled, and subconsciously replied, "Blue? Or red? Why?"
"No, it's nothing. Daughter, you're studying even in the car?"
Her dad smiled and gave her a perfunctory reply as he switly sent another message to his men.
…
This was what most people probably thought a bathhouse was like, right?
It would be a big, steaming pit filled with pale green water and a bunch of people soaking in it.
They either had towels wrapped around them, afraid of being exposed; or they pretended to cover themselves up but exposed themselves, afraid that no one would see their good figures; or they were completely naked. Some would be glowing and some would have outstanding physiques, but none would be your type.
More than that, there would be men and women mixed together.
All sorts of people would walk around naked. They might do something illicit under the surface of the water, or render you speechless by doing it brazenly right in front of you.
The surrounding decor would be nothing to write home about. It would be a gloomy grayish-brown, and some of the walls would even be peeling.
Thus, many people would feel disgusted when they heard about a bathhouse, and even complain about how uncouth it was.
Of course, the one which Father Lu brought Lu An to was completely different. Or, to put it another way, the difference was like between heaven and earth!
The walls had a refined decor and there was a pool of warm water.
The white floor shone brightly. It was a very spacious room, and there was a rack on the side to hang clothes on. It looked like the baths used especially by the emperors or concubines of old. There were even several potted plants in one corner. Everything was fresh, refined, and elegant.
Lu An was the only person in the huge room. Of course, there was also Ergou, who had already dived into the water.
On the other side of a thin wall was Lu An's father, Lu Xiao.
"Are you practicing holding your breath?"
Lu An laughed as she grabbed Ergou and pulled it out.
The little dog, who had already been washed clean, had soft yellow fur. It had black eyes which were set wide apart and a small black nose. Such a small lump turned out to be a Labrador.
"Woof, woof, woof!" The angry little dog barked indignantly.
"What's wrong? Aren't you very cute like this?"
