Chapter 20: Adultery
Dong Ci looked around and said in admiration, “What a big house you live in! You must be a brilliant chef. I once thought that my house was very big, but your house is obviously much bigger than mine.”
The villa had three floors. If you stood on the balcony and looked up, you could see the stars in the night sky. Under the balcony, the little boy was hovering in the doorway. He couldn’t enter the villa because peach wood charms against evil hung on the gate. There were no ghosts in Chen Qi’s villa, but there were lots of ghosts lingering outside. A female ghost with wire around her neck asked the little boy, “Are you a newcomer?” The wire had sunk into her neck and caused a deep cut.
“My mom asked me to follow Ci. But I can’t enter the villa now.” The little boy was sobbing. The cries of ghosts turned into the howl of wind at night.
The female ghost asked, “Why are you following her?”
“We can’t reincarnate… She…” Before he could finish speaking, Ji Jing came over, grabbed the little boy by the neck and said, “Let’s go back.”
The female ghost looked round the door curiously and shook her head. Then she drifted to the street and lay on the back of a drunk man who was about to drive off.
“You are the President’s chef, aren’t you?” Dong Ci stood on the balcony, took a sip of red wine and raised her head. The red wine had a long and pleasant aftertaste.
” No, I’m not. ‘Chef’ is my nickname. Actually, I’m a psycho killer.” With that, he came over and licked the wine off Dong Ci’s lips and asked, “Are you afraid of me?”
“You have a promising career.” Dong Ci laughed and turned her face away to avoid being kissed by him again.
The master bedroom on the second floor had been beautifully decorated and the bed was big and extremely soft. Dong Ci lay down on it and felt like she was lying on a big, fluffy cloud. “Do you have many girlfriends?” she asked.
Chen Qi stretched his arms and embraced her tenderly. A thrill ran through her and she felt her body burning with desire. When the lust prevailed, everyone acted on his or her most primal instinct like an animal. Dong Ci abandoned all sense of reason and passionately reached out her arms around him. ‘Just this once. It’s just a one-night stand, that’s all,’ she comforted herself in her mind.
The advantage of having a king-sized bed was that they could rolled about on it and make love in different postures. Groans of pain and enjoyment from the woman clung to the dark night sky. At the same time, his low, hoarse voice echoed in her ears.
Dong Ci thought, ‘Now I know that the difference between a strong man and an ordinary man is more obvious than that between a woman and a man.’
‘If you want to win a woman’s heart, you should sleep with her first,’ Chen Qi thought to himself. He was experienced in pursuing pretty women.
‘I have conquered her in bed. She is my woman now. It testifies to the extraordinary potency of my masculine charms,” Chen Qi thought in smug satisfaction. He looked down at Dong Ci sleeping in his arms. She had long attractive eyelashes and slender, arched eyebrows, and now was drooling on his shoulder.
Her phone suddenly rang. Dong Ci opened her eyes and asked, “Oh gosh, what time is it now?”
“It’s almost eleven o’clock. What’s wrong?” Chen Qi turned down the volume of the TV.
“Shh, it’s my boyfriend,” Dong Ci said to Chen Qi and then answered the phone, “Hello… I’m now at a friend’s house. Okay, I’ll go home as soon as possible.”
She hung up the phone and put on her trousers gracefully. Then she turned around bare-chested and said to Chen Qi, “It’s the end of our story. We’re even.”
Chen Qi looked at her with a meaningful smile on his face and said, “You will miss me.”
“Don’t call me anymore. I’m getting married soon.” Dong Ci put on her black bra, turned her back to Chen Qi and said, “Please help me button up the bra.”
Dong Ci was the dumbest woman Chen Qi had ever met. She even couldn’t button up her bra.
“Good things should be in pairs. Let’s have a deeper exchange of body once more.” Chen Qi caressed her delicate back and refused to let her go. The beast of desire hidden deep in his body roared and wanted more from this woman.
…
“Everything happens three times. Let’s do it again,” said Dong Ci. Now that it was already late, it was no matter to stay a little longer.
….
It was getting light. Dong Ci asked Chen Qi to help her button up her bra for the last time. He lay motionless on the bed, exhausted. She smiled, bent down to kiss him on the nose and said, “I am going home.” With that she turned around and left.
At the sight of Dong Ci’s appearance in the doorway, Luo Nan asked, “Where on earth have you been? You didn’t come home all night.”
Dong Ci smiled, “We are not married yet, but you begin to restrict my freedom.”
“I didn’t mean that. I just hope you won’t stay out all night anymore,” Luo Nan said helplessly. He looked up and down Dong Ci who looked tired and lethargic.
“Okay, I got it. Now I’m going to sleep. I played mahjong with my friends all night and lost all my money.” Dong Ci collapsed on the sofa and asked, “Will you come back and have dinner with me tonight?”
“I’m afraid not. I’m engaged this evening. Have a good sleep. Last night I bought you a midnight snack but you didn’t come back. So I put it in the fridge. You can eat it when you wake up. Now I have to go to work.” Luo Nan took a blanket from the bedroom and put it over Dong Ci.
Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Dong Ci immediately jumped out of the sofa and opened the fridge. Her eyes grew moist at the sight of the pot-stewed duck tongue and honey bun in the fridge. They were her favorite foods.
Her phone rang and it was Chen Qi.
“What’s the matter with you? I told you not to call me anymore.” Dong Ci hung up the phone and started to nibble the duck tongue.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Before Chen Qi could say a single word, the line cut abruptly. He was stunned as the beeping sound rang in his ears.
