r that he owed her an apology.Lu Qian just looked at her like that...He neither said yes nor no, he just didn't want to part.Mingzhu smiled faintly, her voice soft and without resentment: "Lu Qian, it...Zhang Chongguang was downstairs, smoking three or four cigarettes.
When the smoke cleared and even the cicadas fell silent, he stepped into the villa on dewy grass. The servants were gone, and the vast hall was eerily quiet.
Zhang Chongguang, slightly tipsy, slowly walked upstairs.
The master bedroom light was on. As the door opened, Huo Xi was seen reclining on the sofa, watching a variety show. She was only wearing a white bathrobe, which hung loosely on her body, highlighting her good figure.
Hearing footsteps, Huo Xi raised his eyes: "Going out for drinks"
Zhang Chongguang didn't deny it, he just hummed in response: "I was called in temporarily for the Jingrui Group case! You said you were looking at the files, so I didn't call you."
Huo Xi smiled faintly.
Suddenly, she smelled the fragrance on him. She didn't wear perfume often, but she recognized it as "Opium," a popular choice for women aged 25 to 35.
Her expression changed slightly, and Zhang Chongguang immediately knew what she was thinking.
He also sniffed himself and explained, “I accidentally rubbed against something in the private room! Lu Shuo and Xiao Xun were there, why don't you ask Jingrui”
Huo Xi didn't press further: "I believe you!"
Zhang Chongguang looked at her pale expression, and smirked self-deprecatingly, saying: "You tell me, do you believe me or not care You have the answer in your heart."
Late at night, Huo Xi didn't want to argue with him.
She whispered, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so let's get some sleep early!"
Zhang Chongguang was a little angry, so he unbuttoned his shirt in front of her. Halfway through, his gaze froze. The variety show had started replaying an episode from several years ago, coincidentally showing Bai Qi's life... On the 82-inch LCD screen, Bai Qi's face was youthful and vibrant.
Zhang Chongguang's body stiffened.
After a long while, he looked at Huo Xi. Huo Xi was sitting quietly on the sofa, looking calm and collected, but he saw a slight moisture in the corners of her eyes...
It is obvious that she misses Bai Qi.
This is a disgrace for a husband, and he can't stand it. Zhang Chongguang stopped and put his hands down. He walked to the sofa behind Huo Xi, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget, you are Mrs. Zhang!"
Ho Xi stared at the LCD television.
Her eyes ached, her voice soft: "I never dared to forget for a moment!"
She never demanded a divorce, knowing all too well what Zhang Chongguang was capable of. Ever since she heard about Bai Qi's death, she had let him take the lead. She waited for him to get tired of her, to find the allure of other options more enticing, and then he would naturally offer them both a way out.
But three years passed, and she hadn't waited for him, instead, this evening she awaited his out-of-control possession.
After Huo Xi finished speaking,
Zhang Chongguang glanced at her from the side, and after about a minute, he walked into the bathroom.
When she came out, she had changed into a fresh set of pajamas.
It was late. Huo Xi had turned off the television and was preparing for bed, just about to get up from the sofa when Zhang Chongguang's phone rang....Zhang Chongguang's heart beat faster for no apparent reason.
He was actually a little scared, it was that girl named Song Yun who got his phone number and wouldn't let up.
But the call was from the Hower household.
"Daddy, I can't sleep. Can you tell me a bedtime story"
Hearing his youngest daughter's voice, Zhang Chongguang softened all over.
He leaned against the headboard and picked up a fairy tale book at random. "Bedtime story again What time is it"
Ho Mianmian kept acting cute and said she couldn't sleep.
When her father gently told her a story, his voice was low and pleasant. Occasionally, he would look up at Huo Xi, and his gaze coupled with his voice had a touch of seduction.
Ho Xi left him space and went to the bathroom to tidy up. Since the housemaid wasn't around, these chores usually fell on her. The bathroom floor was littered with Zhang Chongguang's discarded shirt and trousers. She picked them up one by one and put them in a dry cleaning bag for tomorrow. Suddenly, she saw lipstick marks on the white shirt.
It is not a complete one.
But instead, it was a swathe of hazy, pale orange, like something that had been rubbed there for ages… Huo Xi’s fingers tightened slightly. She wondered what kind of situation could have caused this.
She doesn't get along with him, but he shouldn't have gone out to find other women after taking advantage of her.
Hoxi glanced towards the bedroom.
Is Zhang Chongguang finally losing patience Has he finally decided the outside world is more interesting
She put the dry cleaning bag away, got up and slowly washed her hands before returning to the bedroom. During this time, Zhang Chongguang had also coaxed Huo Mian into a good mood. Seeing Huo Xi come over, he whispered, "I promised the little one that I would send them to school tomorrow morning. After sending them off tomorrow, I'll take you to the law firm."
Ho Xi hummed in agreement and nodded.
She threw back the thin blanket and lay beside Zhang Chongguang. Zhang Chongguang smelled the fragrance on her body and was a little flustered, just about to lean over...
Hawsey looked at him from the side and softly asked, "Did Jingrui get you a girl tonight"
Zhang Chongguang was taken aback.
Hoxi was never one to beat around the bush. She stated plainly, “While I was tidying up, I noticed a lipstick mark on the back of your collar. This couldn't have been an accident, nor some random prank.”
Such a print wouldn't exist without Zhang Chongguang's approval.
To put it bluntly, he had some physical contact with a woman.
Zhang Chongguang knew Huo Xi's character.
If she knew about Song Yun's existence, and knew that he had followed a woman back to her apartment after drinking, and then mistook someone for her and hugged and kissed them, she would definitely divorce him.
Men aren't stupid, no one would admit that at this time.
In response to Huo Xi's inquiry, Zhang Chongguang simply extinguished the lamp, lay down, and gazed at the dark air above him, faintly saying: "Jingrui didn't find me a young girl. It must be someone who drank too much who rubbed against my shirt. That bunch of people just loves to see me in a commotion. They're becoming more and more unruly."
He spoke flawlessly.
He figured Huo Xi wouldn't ask Jing Rui, she would notice something even if she did, but she wouldn't stoop to being a jealous woman. The reason was that she didn't love him anymore.
Zhang Chongguang, just thinking about it, felt pathetic.
Ho Xi didn't ask any further, she simply turned over and faced away from him. Zhang Chongguang followed after her, encircling her slender body from behind and whispered softly, "Are you angry ... You know that besides you, I have no one else."
In the dim light, Huo Xi whispered, "Go to sleep!"
Zhang Chongguang remained silent. His hand, which was holding her waist, slowly moved.
For a moment, Hoshi's breath quickened...
She thought he would want to do it again, but Zhang Chongguang just stroked her without any further intention... Later, Huo Xi fell asleep.
Zhang Chongguang had been awake the whole time.
He could feel Hose's presence, and his mind drifted back to the unexpected encounter earlier that night. He wondered how other men dealt with such situations when they got back home to their wives. All he knew was a heavy feeling of guilt and unease washed over him, mingled with a sliver of self-loathing. Even though he had been drunk and mistaken her for someone else, the intense desire he'd felt towards her body at that moment...
This Zhang Chongguang cannot accept. a look that Lu You had never seen before, as if looking at a stranger.Ye Bai spoke slowly: “Gina is very innocent. She hasn’t experienced as much as you, so she wouldn’t lie or deceive people… As for...
