"You're not letting me in?" Ye Fanzhi pressed closer, watching Wang Cheng tightly grip the doorknob. "Could it be that the person inside isn't a client, but a woman you found on the side?"
"How could I possibly have someone else? You're overthinking this, Fanzhi."
"Then open the door and let me in to see your big client."
"This, this…" Wang Cheng thought of something and said, "It's Boss Zhou inside. You know him, the one who just got married last month. He didn't bring his wife, but a young model. You know his wife, and if you go in and see them, Boss Zhou will have concerns. He doesn't want too many people to know he has someone else, otherwise, it will affect my cooperation with Boss Zhou. You understand, right, Fanzhi?"
"Having a wife and still messing around outside, what a scumbag!"
"Right, right, Boss Zhou is quite the scumbag. I don't want to eat with this kind of trash either, but for the business, for our family, I can't help it, sigh…"
"…"
Ye Fanzhi was speechless.
She never would have imagined Wang Cheng was such a good actor.
Beep beep beep...
Ye Fanzhi's WeChat buzzed, the contact name was [Simple is Best].
"Fanzhi, your friend is looking for you, why aren't you answering?"
Wang Cheng prompted. He didn't know who this "Simple is Best" was, but he knew his wife's social circle was clean; it was just a few girls who went shopping, ate, and gossiped together.
Wang Cheng was completely at ease with Ye Fanzhi.
Ye Fanzhi answered the call in front of Wang Cheng, and he wouldn't suspect a thing.
"Which place? I can't find it."
"...I'll come out and get you in a moment."
Ye Fanzhi hung up the phone and said, "Honey, I'm going out to pick up a friend. She's in the room next door. I'll bring her over to introduce you later."
"Okay, okay…" Wang Cheng urged, "Go quickly, go quickly."
Ye Fanzhi shook her head and smiled, then turned and walked towards the door.
She hadn't planned to go into the room in the first place. She just wanted to see Wang Cheng's flustered expression; it wouldn't be fun otherwise.
Wang Cheng quickly returned to the room, locked the door, and sat down. He exhaled deeply, his legs were weak, and he felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
Li Xingran said unhappily, "What do you mean, Wang Cheng? Locking me in the room, are you afraid I'll cause a scene? Didn't you say you don't love your wife? Who's more important, her or me?"
"You're important, you're important. Can you please not be angry?"
"How can I not be angry? I divorced my husband for you, and you said you'd get a divorce! Go, go talk to your wife and sort things out, get a divorce!"
"Calm down, okay?"
Wang Cheng pushed Li Xingran back into her seat. He was genuinely afraid she would march right out and confront Ye Fanzhi.
"Don't touch me."
Li Xingran angrily brushed Wang Cheng's hand away, fuming: "Wang Cheng, are you going to divorce your wife or not? If you don't give me a clear answer now, I'm going to go find your wife and make her give me an answer."
Are mistresses these days all so brazen?
It's not like there hasn't been a case of a mistress going after the wife.
Wang Cheng couldn't afford to offend this woman. He did like Li Xingran; their feelings had blossomed from an affair. After all, Li Xingran was indeed very beautiful. Her younger sister was the school beauty; it was clear how stunning this woman was.
"I will get a divorce. It's just not the right time. The company is short on funds right now, and I need support from my father-in-law. You know I wouldn't be where I am today without his backing. If I divorce now, I'll lose everything. You don't want me to leave with nothing, do you? Give me some time."
Wang Cheng coaxed, knowing Li Xingran didn't want him to leave with nothing. She wanted to be a wealthy Modu socialite.
Divorce?
Divorce my ass.
Wang Cheng wasn't even planning on divorcing Ye Fanzhi. He loved Ye Fanzhi very, very much.
He just wanted to keep the home fires burning while having a few flings on the side.
Liang Canwen was in the restaurant next door.
Ye Fanzhi walked over and patted his left shoulder. She squatted down to Liang Canwen's right. Liang Canwen turned around and said, "Childish."
"You're the childish one! I told you it was this restaurant, but you still couldn't find it."
"You said this one? I'm sure you said the restaurant across the street. How would I know it was this one?"
"I said the restaurant across the street is this restaurant."
"...Woman!"
"Heh heh heh... Let's go in and eat."
Ye Fanzhi took the initiative and linked her arm with Liang Canwen's.
"!!!" Liang Canwen looked down at his arm. "Why are you holding my arm?"
"You look so handsome today. What's wrong with holding your arm? Anyway, you're divorced, and I'm widowed. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go!"
Ye Fanzhi, arm in arm with Liang Canwen, strode into the restaurant.
Outside the private room.
Ye Fanzhi glanced at the tightly closed door of the next private room, completely giving up on that man. She let out a soft laugh, pushed open the door of her own room, and sat down.
The dishes were served quickly. Ye Fanzhi asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Liang Canwen replied, "I'm driving, so I won't drink."
Ye Fanzhi said, "A bottle of Moutai for myself, and give him Wang Lao Ji."
Liang Canwen questioned, "Why are you drinking alone in the middle of the day?"
"I'm happy today." Ye Fanzhi smiled, and something shimmering was visible in her eyes.
After the waiter brought in the wine and left, Ye Fanzhi raised her glass and said, "Can I call you Canwen?"
"Okay."
"Canwen, you're a really, really good man. I'm so happy to have met you. This drink is for you. You can take it easy, I'll finish mine."
Ye Fanzhi downed the drink in one gulp. She poured another glass. Liang Canwen put down his Wang Lao Ji and stopped her. "Slow down. Drinking too fast isn't good for you."
"Don't worry about me. No one would care if I drank myself to death anyway."
Ye Fanzhi pushed Liang Canwen's hand away and drank the second glass in one go.
Liang Canwen sensed the change in her mood, despair written all over his face.
Ye Fanzhi put down the glass, gave a bitter smile, pursed her lips, and traced her finger around the rim of the glass.
Drip... drip...
A few teardrops, crystal clear, fell into the glass, creating ripples.
"What's wrong? You were fine just now, why are you suddenly sad?"
"It's nothing, just leave me alone." Ye Fanzhi turned her head away, her body choked with sobs as she silently drank her sorrows.
Liang Canwen sat down beside Ye Fanzhi to comfort her. "It's the end of the month, is it possible that your period suddenly came on?"
"Pfft—"
Ye Fanzhi spat out a mouthful of wine.
She had been quite sad, but Liang Canwen's words suddenly amused her. She couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing. She turned back, complaining, "You're the one who gets periods! You get them every day, you straight man!"
"If you're not on your period, then why the hell are you crying? Anyone would think I was bullying you..."
Before the last word was out, Ye Fanzhi suddenly bit her lip and, taking advantage of the opportunity, kissed Liang Canwen.
The kiss was soft, glutinous, and wet, with a hint of saltiness from tears.
"???"
Liang Canwen was startled, caught completely off guard.
I knew this woman had designs on me, and you guys didn't believe me. She just went straight for it.
"Madam, I still have to drive. Kissing like this will make me drunk driving. Ow–"
Liang Canwen's mouth suddenly hurt; the madam had bitten him hard.
Because Liang Canwen hadn't taken advantage of her.
Liang Canwen's ex-wife had bullied her.
She was heartbroken, and she wanted Liang Canwen to feel the pain too.
In the next room.
"Didn't your wife call you over to offer a toast? Why aren't you going, Wang Cheng? Aren't you afraid your wife will get involved with other men?"
"Fanzhi isn't that kind of woman."
"What do you mean?"
