Chapter 105 Serious Business With Another Man

Xiao Qingqing was clinging onto Shen Mobo… What did she think she was doing? Her rational mind had been completely surmounted by the alcohol of the wine.

Screw it!

Why bother?

Why must she reserve herself to Lu Jinye?!

What Lu Jinye did not care about, was another man’s treasure. She shut her eyes, tears continued to stream down her cheeks, but her desires were telling her that she was having a great time.

Shen Mobo had lost control of himself.

His unwavering abstinence had ultimately succumbed under the unremitting seduction by the love of his love. Brotherly love… Goddess… None of it mattered anymore!

He wanted to fulfill her needs! To comfort her sorrow! To give her happiness! To free her from lamentation! To bring her to her highest point!

Shen Mobo was clear about what he was doing. He was completely sober.

Both of them embraced each other, cuddling aggressively. In this instance, something seemed to have struck Xiao Qingqing. She shoved Shen Mobo away violently, scrambled to dress as Shen Mobo was puzzled, “What’s the matter?”

“I don’t want to do it here! I feel guilty for letting it happen here!”

Xiao Qingqing hurriedly picked up Shen Mobo’s clothes that were scattered over the floor, and handed them to him, urging him, “Put them on, let’s go somewhere else.”

Shen Mobo did not ask another question. He grabbed his clothes and dressed, following right behind the already-dressed Xiao Qingqing as they fled the room.

Shen Mobo was certain that Xiao Qingqing was not in her right mind. She remained in her drunken stupor. Thus, he could not explain the series of decisions she made. Instincts… Adrenaline rush… Or simply drunkenness?

All in all, when Xiao Qingqing headed out the room, she was struggling to walk in a straight line, barely maintaining her balance through staggered footsteps.

She was barely conscious when she entered Shen Mobo’s car. When Shen Mobo turned the engine over, she had her eyes firmly shut. She did not even wear her seatbelt as she fell asleep.

Shen Mobo glanced at Xiao Qingqing. The tantalizing desires continued to lurk within him. He quickly brought Xiao Qingqing away, back to his home, the safest place he could think of.

…

After that first phone call, Lu Jinye tried to reach Mu Zhi again and found out that it wouldn’t go through!

He pondered briefly before storming out of his office and set off towards the hotel.

He came in a car, arriving slightly earlier than Mu Zhi. When he went to her hotel room, he found it empty, greeted with the strong scent of alcohol clung onto the air, as well as traces of odor produced by the aftermath of intimacy between men and women.

It brought a scowl to Lu Jinye’s face, bursting out of the room in disgust.

After all… She only hung up on him because she was engaged in serious business with another man!

Although he had decided to betroth Xiao Qingqing, divorced Mu Zhi, and understood that Mu Zhi had the freedom to make her own choice, the sight made Lu Jinye feel extraordinarily upset!

He did not stay for a split second, turning around and left decisively.

While waiting for the elevator, the peevishness continued to raise! Is this Mu Zhi woman that desperate? Inviting the man to his hotel room?

Suffocating from the nuisance, he undid a few buttons to give himself some extra breathing room.

The elevator door opened with a ding, and the person who came out was Mu Zhi. There was a dash of nervousness in her eyes. She wanted to say something as soon as she saw Lu Jinye.

But Lu Jinye just glanced at her listlessly. There was even a hint of disgust in his eyes. Without allowing Mu Zhi to greet him, he barged into the elevator and pressed on the close button.

Mu Zhi was startled… She turned around, question marks written all over her face, only to see the elevator started moving towards the ground floor.

She could not bother dwelling on the brief interaction and nimbly headed to the hotel room.

The door was wide open, exuding an odor. The messy bedsheets and the ambiguity in the air told her that there was a fierce battle that had just taken place moments ago!

It was Xiao Qingqing who drove her away from the room.

As she walked out of the elevator, she saw Lu Jinye leaving in a rush, seemingly upset. Thus… Did that mean Lu Jinye had a fall out with Xiao Qingqing after hot yoga?

But even if he had a quibble with someone else, his listless attitude was uncalled for. Unless Xiao Qingqing told him about how she provoked her earlier?!

At that thought, Mu Zhi became displeased!

The feeling was difficult to describe. She knew that Lu Jinye was free to do whatever he wanted since they were divorced. But she could not help but feel that her honey had betrayed her!

She had the urge to charge at Lu Jinye and confront him about sleeping with another woman! She had the impulse to murder the two of them!

Whatever… Mu Zhi ultimately swallowed the disgusting feeling, brushed her thoughts, and started to search for her phone.

She remembered putting the phone on the shelf. Why did it mysteriously disappear?

She went to search the bed but to no avail.

It was impossible for Lu Jinye to keep her phone. Failing to locate her phone after searching every corner of her room, Mu Zhi was frustrated. She resorted to heading back to the lobby and asking the front desk if they had seen a lost phone.

The attendant at the front desk hesitated briefly and grabbed a plastic bag from the drawer containing a soaked phone.

She explained to Mu Zhi, “How do you do? My colleague just fished this phone out of the pool earlier, does it look like yours?”

Mu Zhi received the phone in confusion. The cover and model of the phone matched hers, but it had failed to switch on after being soaked in water. Helpless, Mu Zhi could only thank the attendant and left with the waterlogged phone.

She was even sure of her surmise that the both of them had a fall out after cave-diving activities!

But instead of tossing her phone, why wouldn’t they choose to toss theirs?!

Mu Zhi became increasingly furious. She could not wait to tear Lu Jinye apart!

When she reached home, the rage within her could not be contained. She grabbed Jian Xiaoning’s phone right away, sending Lu Jinye a text, ‘I demand a new phone!’

Lu Jinye did not reply.

But Mu Zhi’s fury was not mollified one bit. She went on to send a longer text, ‘I demand a new phone! I demand a new phone! I demand a new phone! I demand a new phone!’

When she did not hear from Lu Jinye, it hit her that she might have pushed too far. They were after all divorced. Even if her phone was damaged by Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing, she was in no place to lash out at him.

Thus, she put down Jian Xiaoning’s phone and went to bed.

The following day, the first thing Mu Zhi did when she woke up was to bring her phone to a repair shop. Alas, all the repairer did was pointing towards the store next door, saying, “You’d be better off buying a new one.”

That was enough to tell Mu Zhi that it was too late to save her phone.

She went to the store, picked a new phone, and swiftly inserted her SIM card to test it out. In the end, she was comforted to see the SIM still working.

She went through a rigorous selection process, not realizing that Lu Junnian had stood behind her.

Lu Junnian made no sound. All he did was watch Mu Zhi as she tested the phones. He was much taller than her. Towering behind her, he could see everything that was on Mu Zhi’s screen when she switched on the phone.

Mu Zhi texted Lu Jinye with Jian Xiaoning’s phone last night. When she came out this morning, she brought Jian Xiaoning’s phone with her in case Mu Xiaomu wanted to look for her.

It was at this moment when a text message came in on Jian Xiaoning’s phone.

Mu Zhi promptly opened it, while Lu Junnian espied the name of the sender. It read ‘Lu Jinye’. In response to Mu Zhi’s overbearing demand for a new phone, Lu Jinye wrote, ‘Isn’t Lu Junnian going to buy one for you?!’

Was that a gesture of jealousy? Or protest?

Lu Junnian scrunched his brows. As a clever man, he quickly pinpointed that Lu Jinye’s words were filled with hatred and jealousy.

Mysteriously, it made him happy.

So, he immediately ordered the attendant, “Give me the bill to this phone, I’ll settle it!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
