Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 467 – Tan Mo Had Already Made Up an Excuse

Chapter 467: Tan Mo Had Already Made Up an Excuse

Soon after, Tan Mo was preoccupied with listening to the sound from the other side, so she did not continue her singing.

If Wei Zhiqian had heard her humming, that meant they entered the bathroom around the same time.

“Uncle, were you in the bathroom all this time?” Tan Mo asked in surprise.

“Yeah,” Wei Zhiqian answered frankly. “I got in the bathroom shortly after I unpacked my suitcase.”

Tan Mo was at a loss for words.

She coincidentally did the same thing.

“U-Uncle… Are you still showering?” Tan Mo asked before her mind processed the thoughts.

It was too late for sorry by the time she heard the words that came out of her mouth.

On the other hand, the other side turned into dead silence for some time.

Tan Mo closed her mouth tightly in frustration and squeezed her brows into a frown.

He must have been startled by her inappropriate question.

Regardless of their relationship, Wei Zhiqian was still a member of the opposite gender. It’d be unladylike of her to ask such a question.

It didn’t take too long before Wei Zhiqian chuckled. “Uh-huh, I’m still showering.”

“What about you?” Wei Zhiqian asked. “I stopped hearing the sound of flowing water on your side.”

Those words Wei Zhiqian uttered were overly stimulating for her.

In other words, he was listening to everything she had been doing even as they spoke.

Could it be that he heard the sound when she applied shower gel on her skin too?

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it.

But she was having indecent thoughts about Wei Zhiqian at that time.

Applying shower gel on her body was equivalent to touching herself.

Tan Mo was overflowing with embarrassment as the thought came to her mind.

‘Good grief! Why didn’t he give me a heads-up?’

Immediately after, she figured he must have been worried that it might make her feel awkward, so he remained silent.

Her mischief for trying to eavesdrop on him caused her to drop the bottle on the floor unintentionally.

Her carelessness had caused him to think something might have befallen her, and thus he called out to her.

Otherwise, he would not have done such a thing that would put her in a difficult situation.

Before he even gave any explanation, Tan Mo had already made up an excuse.

“I…” the little snow fairy stammered in anxiety as shivers ran down her spine, “I… I’m already done.”

Tan Mo couldn’t be bothered to check if she had rinsed all the bubbles off her skin at that point. Hitting the panic button, she opened the glass door and prepared to get out of the shower area.

Little did she know that there was shower gel foam on the floor that didn’t rinse out yet.

The surface of the ground she stepped on was covered with bubbles.

The floor outside the shower area was clean and dry.

With water and shower gel foam dripping down her feet soles, the smooth and dry tiles would become extra slippery should they come into contact.

As she marched her right leg forward, her foot skidded, and she fell backward.

“Argh!”

Tan Mo shrieked in a panic. She swung her arms, trying to grip on something to stabilize herself.

Despite clutching the edge of the basin, her body had already lost its balance. She fell to the ground.

It was a hard impact on the tiles.

Her shoulder hit against the bathroom threshold that was meant to prevent water from leaking.

She was in agony. A numbing sensation spread across the entire area of her shoulder.

From Wei Zhiqian’s side, he heard Tan Mo’s scream followed by a banging sound.

“Momo, what’s wrong?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

At the same time, he wiped his body dry with the towel hastily and put on his sleepwear.

“The bathroom was too slippery, and I fell.” The area of impact was throbbing. Tears rolled down her cheeks involuntarily as she murmured “Ow” unceasingly.

Usually, she was not a crybaby, but the pain was so intense that it caused a physiological response.

As a result, she was unable to lift her hand.

While hurting her left shoulder, she held on to the bathroom basin with her right hand, hoping to stop herself from falling.

But it happened anyway. When her body hit against the ground, she did not let go of the grip on her right hand immediately.

Subsequently, she heard something that sounded like a crack. Although she couldn’t confirm if her right arm was dislocated, it was aching so much that she couldn’t raise it.

“Ms. Hu!” Tan Mo yelled.

At that time, she considered herself lucky that she was not staying alone in the room.

Ms. Hu should have heard her cry out since the room was not spacious and had terrible soundproofing.

Having said that, no one replied to her even after waiting for some time.

“Ms. Hu!” Tan Mo’s voice was shivering in pain.

On the other side, Wei Zhiqian shrilled through the wall, “Ms. Hu should be out now! I heard your room door open and close once while I was showering earlier! I don’t think she’s around!”

“Can you sit up by yourself?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

“Nah. I can’t move my limbs at all… I don’t think I can stand up using just legs… Besides, my feet are still skiddy…” Tan Mo stuttered as she was still hurting.

Wei Zhiqian frowned a little and asked, “Do you remember Ms. Hu’s contact number?”

“I only added her on WeChat. I didn’t ask for her contact number.” Tan Mo thought, ‘Nowadays, most people are contacting each other through WeChat. We can even use the app to call and talk to one another.’

It was convenient, and there were no extra call charges to pay.

Apart from the voice messaging function, one could even conduct a video call with their contacts. Hence, almost no one saved each other’s cellphone numbers lately.

Its importance had become apparent when an unforeseen circumstance occurred.

“What about her WeChat ID? Can you recall?” Wei Zhiqian questioned.

Enduring the soreness, Tan Mo contemplated. “No, I never looked it up before.”

“Please hold on for a while. I’ll be back soon.” After Wei Zhiqian spoke, he dashed out in haste.

Tan Mo could feel the cold floor on her skin as she sat on it in her birthday suit.

She couldn’t stand the chill, although the weather was hot during that season.

Despite being clueless about whatever Wei Zhiqian was doing, she had faith in him and waited for him in peace.

A while later, he brought a female housekeeper with him before her room.

“It’s inappropriate for me to go in. Could you please get in and check up on her?” Wei Zhiqian asked. “She’s in the bathroom with nothing on.”

“Okay.” The housekeep nodded. By rights, she should not encroach on the room since Wei Zhiqian was not staying in it.

Nevertheless, he had convinced her that it was an emergency and that the guest in the room couldn’t get up after falling on the ground.

She only agreed to come after being overwhelmed with the desire to ensure the guest did not have an accident inside.

Also, she was followed by one of the hotel’s security officers.

“No matter what, barging into a hotel guest’s room without prior consent is against the policy. Please be my eyewitnesses should the guest file a lawsuit against me,” the housekeeper stated.

“I will,” Wei Zhiqian assured her. “Please get in and check up on her.”

After bowing her head, she pushed the key card in and entered the room.

When she got into the bathroom, Tan Mo was lying sideways on the floor.

Tan Mo heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing a female hotel employee instead of Wei Zhiqian.

To be seen by others in her highly compromising position was too much of an embarrassment for her.

“A guest who goes by Wei Zhiqian informed us that you fell in the bathroom. He’s waiting outside asking me to check on you,” the housekeeper clarified as she closed in on Tan Mo.
