Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1033

Aspen was so furious, and she shouted, "Andrew, you're such a bastard!"

Nonetheless, Andrew stayed calm and replied, "Using yoga to try and reach senior grandmaster level? It's not a bad approach. However, your method is flawed.

"You should try activating your twin core meridians and running your energy through the full-body cycle. It'll get you results with half the effort."

With that, he turned and went upstairs to rest.

Aspen stood frozen in place, full of shock and suspicion. "So he wasn't staring at my body… he was analyzing my training? Hmph, acting all high and mighty as if his advice would actually help!"

She did not want to admit it, but deep down, she was tempted to try what he said. So, she adjusted her posture and started cultivating again, following his method.

…

Upstairs, Andrew collapsed onto the huge bed in his room. He had just arrived in the capital and had already run into trouble—no wonder he felt drained. Still, there were things he needed to keep up with.

He grabbed his phone and started a video call with Francesca.

She picked up right away. The busty little minx was in a silk nightgown, lounging against the headboard, her cleavage barely hidden.

"You jerk. I'm sleeping alone again tonight. Looks like another restless night for me," Francesca said with a sulky pout.

Andrew grinned. "You finally got a few days off, so don't waste it. Once I'm back, you'll be so sore every night, you won't be able to walk straight!"

Francesca blushed, let out a playful hum through her nose, and teased, "Then come back already! I'm not afraid of you—I'll squeeze you dry!"

Andrew raised an eyebrow, thinking the girl was getting bolder by the day. He simply said, "Alright, get some rest. Once I wrap things up here, I'll head back to Jayrodale. And from now on, don't go back to your place. Just stay at mine and help me take care of the house."

Francesca nodded sweetly. "Alright, I got it. I'll keep it spotless and wait for you. Oh, by the way—did you visit Lauren yet?"

Andrew shook his head. "Haven't had the time. Maybe tomorrow or the day after. So far, the Rhodes family has been quiet. I'm guessing Lauren's fine."

Francesca gave a small hum and stuck her tongue out. "Pervert… hurry back! I've made up my mind!"

Then, in a flustered rush, she hung up the video call.

Andrew blinked. What did she mean by she had made up her mind?

The night passed without further incident.
