What if someone sees us? Aunt Yu, Cheng Yuxiu, and Zong Qifeng are all in the same building. If they were to wake up…
“So, does this mean it’ll be fine if we do it in my room?” Zong Jinghao snickered.
Lin Xinyan looked at the trees that were slightly shaking outside and finally let out a moan, telling the man that she was okay with the idea. It was a very faint moan, but he heard it clearly.
Zong Jinghao grabbed Lin Xinyan from the couch by her butt as she hung her arms over his shoulder and kissed him.
The lights were off in the living room, faintly lit by the faint moonlight through the window. Zong Jinghao responded to her kiss as he carried her to the second floor.
When they got into the room, Lin Xinyan finally muttered, “The kids are still down there…”
“We’ll go back once we’re done.”
“But…”
Zong Jinghao immediately stopped the woman from talking by pressing his finger against her lips. He stared at her as he gently flicked his finger on her lip while the other hand slowly moved into her shirt and stopped on her left chest. “You can only think of me in here.”
He pressed his body against her as his hands roamed around her body. He kissed her hair and ears as he began to undo her shirt.
Lin Xinyan was shivering. She was never the one who was in the lead, even when she was the one who seduced him first. Just like all the other times, the man was the one who led her throughout the whole sexual experience.
Lin Xinyan was completely exhausted after that; she did not know if Zong Jinghao had taken her back to the kids’ room, nor the time she fell asleep. It wasn’t until late midnight when she was woken up by the sound of the door opening. She got up, wanting to get a glass of water. When she reached the kitchen, she saw a person sitting in the corner of the room with a single dim light turned on next to him.
Lin Xinyan rubbed her eyes to take a good look at the person whose face was barely visible under the faint light.
“Can’t sleep?” she finally asked after making sure that the person was Zong Jinghao.
The man quickly put his phone down and approached her. “You awake?”
“I’m thirsty.” Lin Xinyan frowned.
The man looked at her and went to get her a glass of water. He kept his movements as quiet as possible and watched as she gulped the water down her throat.
“Do you want more?”
Lin Xinyan shook her head and checked the time, only to realize that it was already half-past five.
“Did you get any sleep?” she asked.
“For a while.” Zong Jinghao fell asleep with her in his arms once they were finished with their business, but the notifications from his phone woke him up not long after. Most of them were messages from Guan Jing about Wen Qing.
Zong Jinghao could now confirm that Wen Qing knew about the relationship between Lin Xinyan and Cheng Yuxiu. The reason Wen Qing kept looking for a woman for him was most likely because of the outcome.
With Lin Xinyan now awake, Zong Jinghao put the glass of water down and pulled her into his arms. As they cuddled, he realized that her shirt was completely opened and began to help her button it up.
The woman looked at him quietly as his long and tidy fingers moved along her body.
Perhaps because she was still half-asleep, she finally asked the question that had been in her head. “Ms. Chen is gorgeous, don’t you think?”
Zong Jinghao froze as he raised his head to look at her as she continued. “You told me once that you’re just like any other man, that you yearn for a woman’s body. Would you… with another woman…”
She was afraid. The thought of Zong Jinghao sleeping with another woman made it hard for her to breathe.
The man gently caressed her hair, pretending not to hear her. “What other woman?”
“You know what I mean.” Lin Xinyan glared at him.
“I don’t.”
She bit her lip and asked, “Will you cheat on me?”
Zong Jinghao pretended to think about the question and did not answer her.
The woman frowned and was about to argue with him when he kissed her. “If you don’t want that to happen, you’ll have to satisfy me.”
She stared at him for a few seconds before lunging and biting his shoulder without any warning. “I’m going to bite you until you die if you ever betray me!”
“I won’t die from this.” Zong Jinghao sat there and let her bite him for a few more seconds before pushing her down on the bed. “Even if I die, I would rather die on top of you!”
“Zong Jinghao!”
…
When Lin Xinyan woke up once again, it was already ten in the morning. The space next to her was empty and cold, meaning that the man had already left for quite a long time.
She couldn’t help but curse him quietly as she wondered how she was going to explain the situation to the children when they found out that their mother wasn’t with them the whole night.
The woman forced herself out of bed, realizing that her body was sticky from all the sweating. She dragged her worn-out body to the bathroom, and when she looked in the mirror, all she saw were the marks Zong Jinghao had left on her. Some were accidents, but some were intentional. It was painful at first, but she didn’t feel anything now.
Subconsciously, she reached for her belly. They never used any contraptions whenever they had sex, but she never got pregnant. There was once a time when she didn’t give much thought to her infertility, yet, she was now a little disappointed.
Zong Jinghao wasn’t there when Lin Ruixi and Lin Xinchen were born, so she was hoping to see the man’s reaction when he found out she was pregnant.
The woman let out a sigh and went into the shower. After cleaning herself up, she headed downstairs. The kids took a leave of absence from the kindergarten, most likely because of what she told Cheng Yuxiu the day before.
Lin Xichen wasn’t solving math problems in his room. He was playing with a Star Wars Lego set in the living room instead.
Zong Jinghao had asked Guan Jing to get the children a set the night before, and like the efficient man he was, he delivered the toy over right away.
Lin Xichen was completely immersed in building his Lego toy and completely forgot that his mother wasn’t in his room when he woke up that morning.
As for her daughter, it was much easier. All the mother had to do was hug the little girl and kissed her cheek; she forgot about it right away.
Lin Xinyan let out a sigh of relief as she really had no idea how to explain to the children.
“You must be hungry.” Aunt Yu smiled as she pushed a tray of food over. “Have something to eat.”
Lin Xinyan was completely famished and quickly sat down by the dining table. As she ate, she took her phone out and called Guan Jing.
At that time, Guan Jing was standing in a room Zong Jinghao was hosting a meeting in when his phone rang. The ear-piercing ringtone interrupted the meeting, and Zong Jinghao turned to glare at Guan Jing coldly.
