Maybe it's because she hasn't touched a man for seven years, or maybe it's because of her deep longing for Lin Hai.

Now that she has met the man of her dreams, Tao Xia's actions carry a hint of madness.

"Mayor Tao, don't do this..."

Lin Hai feels helpless, he really just wanted to comfort her, without any intention of doing anything inappropriate.

In his eyes, Tao Xia still remains the young and tender beauty from seven years ago.

Even though she repeatedly mentions "that time we bathed together".

The truth was Lin Hai saved Tao Xia, and the two of them accidentally fell into water, that's the whole story.

"It's been seven years, I can't wait anymore," Tao Xia pants heavily.

"Servant of the people, I beg you, please don't torture me anymore."

Lin Hai lets out a distressed sigh, his nostrils now filled with Tao Xia's fragrance, making his blood rush faster.

Tao Xia snorts, "Men always say one thing but mean another."

"Cough cough." Lin Hai almost chokes on Tao Xia's words.

"What, what do you want to do?!" Lin Hai asks in a slightly panicked tone.

"Hey, hey, don't come closer, Taotao, I'm not that kind of man!"

Lin Hai hurriedly backs away, but he realizes he has reached the corner of the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

"What's the matter? I am a servant of the people, I should serve the people," Tao Xia hums.

Lin Hai covers his chest with both hands, replying with embarrassed indignation, "What kind of service to the people is this? You're completely forcing the public to serve you."

Suddenly, the frenzied Tao Xia stops her actions.

"Wuu, you finally regained your senses," Lin Hai takes a deep breath, as if he just survived a catastrophe.

Tao Xia stares fixedly at Lin Hai's sturdy chest, covered with dense and terrifying scars that make one's heart skip a beat.

Right over his heart, there's a scar as wide as a thumb, as if to say how dangerously lethal this wound was.

Besides that, there are at least a hundred more fatal scars, not to mention other scars all over his body.

Each scar is very deep, and even now that they've healed, the scars are still incredibly distinct.

"You... what exactly have you been through these years!" Tao Xia's voice trembles, her almond eyes mist over with emotion as she gently touches the scar over his heart, asking.

Lin Hai coughs awkwardly, because his identity and secrets, cannot yet be told to her, only after he avenges his great enemy and destroys the RX organization, perhaps then he can tell her, otherwise it poses a security risk for her.

"I didn't do much back then, these are just leftovers from that battle," Lin Hai tells a kindly lie.

Tao Xia doesn't buy it, countering, "You're lying, the depth and color of these scars vary, showing they're not from the same period. Some are barely visible now, while others are as deep as if they've reached the bone, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Lin Hai's lie is exposed, and he shamelessly changes the subject, "That, about the past, why discuss these things?"

"No, I insist on asking clearly," the iron-fisted Lady Mayor's desire for control and her curiosity are obviously stirred by those scars.

Lin Hai sighs slightly, "I spent a few days as a mercenary, then I realized that was too dangerous, if I died I'd never have the chance to see you again, so I retired, washed dishes abroad for a few years, found it meaningless, and came back to Huadu."

"Really?" Tao Xia is still a bit skeptical.

Just at that moment, Lin Hai's phone suddenly rings.
