The consequence of indulging all night is waking up the next day with a sore back and aching body.
The afternoon sun was warm, and it wasn’t the blazing sun outside the window that woke Dong Enyu, but the constantly vibrating phone on the bedside table.
The woman tiredly propped herself up, her right hand fumbling around the bedside table for a while before she finally found the phone.
She glanced at it for a couple of seconds, then turned to look at the equally naked woman beside her.
Dong Enyu picked up a shirt to cover herself and walked to the balcony to answer the call.
“Hello, this is Dong Enyu.” The balcony overlooked a spacious backyard.
This upscale residential area valued privacy, so the villas were cleverly designed.
Unless someone was deliberately peeping, it was unlikely to be seen in a compromising state by neighbors.
“What time is it, and you’re still sleeping?” A man’s voice came from the other end of the line.
Dong Enyu stretched her legs and leaned against the railing.
“May I ask what this is about, Mr. Di?” It was the first time Di Wei had personally called, which made Dong Enyu feel a bit strange.
What was he up to… “Do you want to go out for some fun tonight? Star Diamond has just been renovated, and I think you might be interested in checking it out?” The background noise behind Di Wei was a bit loud, making it easy to imagine where he was.
“Just the two of us, no one else.
How about it?” His tone was like a challenge, asking if Dong Enyu dared to attend.
But Dong Enyu focused on the phrase ‘just the two of us.’
Ten minutes later, Dong Enyu slid open the balcony glass door and returned to the bedroom.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, spilling onto the foot of the bed.
Dong Enyu casually placed her phone on the blanket and sat on the edge of the bed, somewhat dazed.
Immediately, a pair of hands reached around her waist from behind, and the spring mattress shifted as Huo Ai moved behind her.
She had her eyes closed, seemingly not fully awake yet.
Dong Enyu turned her head to look at Huo Ai, gently running her hand through the woman’s smooth long hair.
“Who called?” Huo Ai’s voice, still husky from sleep, was particularly sexy as it murmured in her ear.
Dong Enyu blinked and replied slowly, “Di Wei.” There was nothing to hide.
Di Wei was a business partner of Haijiao and also their client.
As a representative of Coral Reef Group, Huo Ai should know about her subordinate’s interactions with the other party.
However, the details of these ‘interactions’ might derail things…
Huo Ai didn’t probe further.
She curled up on her side, an arm draped over Dong Enyu’s waist, lazily like a sleepy cat.
Meanwhile, Dong Enyu’s gesture of stroking Huo Ai’s hair seemed to soothe her, creating a warm and cherished moment of tranquility on a holiday afternoon.
However…
“Di Wei invited me to dinner tonight,” the woman said without hesitation, laying out the facts.
“While you were out at sea, I met with him alone a few times, and tonight it’s just the two of us.”
Whether or not to hold back was Dong Enyu’s choice, but she preferred to be honest.
Why? The woman lowered her eyes, her fingers slowing as they ran through her hair…
“He has feelings for me,” Dong Enyu said clearly, her fingers leaving the strands.
Di Wei’s feelings for her were too intense, perhaps out of curiosity or maybe testing the boundaries of infidelity.
In any case, Di Wei’s gaze always held an ambiguous glint.
“Maybe tonight will bring us closer.”
How to get closer? There was probably only one way.
Whether Huo Ai understood Dong Enyu’s suggestive words was unknown.
“I won’t be coming back tonight.” This was whispered by Dong Enyu as she leaned close to Huo Ai’s ear, slowly and clearly informing her.
The woman got up from the edge of the bed, while Huo Ai remained curled up.
The bedroom was filled with the faint sound of footsteps until the bathroom door closed, and Huo Ai turned over, pulling a pillow into her arms.
For a long time, in the silent room, Huo Ai softly murmured, “Hmm.”
…
Star Diamond.
Dong Enyu sat in the private room, her mind filled with the shocked expression of the Mama-san when she entered.
That exaggerated, theatrical reaction was worthy of a soap opera.
She remembered how she had been troubled and driven away before, and now she was back, entering with Wutang Boss Di Wei.
It felt satisfying.
“What are you thinking about, smiling so smugly?” Di Wei had instructed two bodyguards to stand outside the door, leaving just the two of them inside the private room.
“Some old memories.” Dong Enyu shrugged, picking up a drink from the table and handing it to the man.
Tonight, she wore a tight-fitting dress, the velvet skirt warm, paired with a rather imposing fur coat.
Her image was somewhat reminiscent of a boss’s woman in a movie, but she would never be a boss’s woman, at most a mistress.
The woman sat confidently on the sofa, legs crossed, with a young man beside her, still somewhat boyish.
When he draped an arm over Dong Enyu’s shoulder and leaned in, the scene was as strange as it could be.
After a few drinks, Di Wei’s face was flushed, not because he couldn’t handle alcohol, but because every time his glass was empty, Dong Enyu would diligently refill it.
If Di Wei didn’t drink, the woman would even half-persuade him, and of course, she drank quite a bit herself.
All night, Di Wei complained, especially about the incompetence of the brothers under Wutang and the need to reorganize the system.
Dong Enyu just tilted her head, listening quietly.
Di Wei was the second-generation boss of Wutang, inheriting his position from his father, which gave him his current status.
But he was an out-and-out young master, pampered from a young age, never having been involved in bloody struggles because he didn’t need to risk his life for anyone.
Those who had followed his father to build the empire naturally pledged loyalty to this young master.
However…
The new generation wasn’t as obedient.
In the end, it was all just a facade…
“Sorry, I need to use the restroom.” Di Wei put down the freshly refilled glass, staggering to his feet with a smile.
He was already drunk, his speech much slower.
Dong Enyu maintained her posture, watching Di Wei walk into the restroom.
As the door closed, the woman wiped the smile from her face.
Perhaps she was a bit drunk too, but getting drunk wasn’t for a moment of joy; it was to make a decision.
Dong Enyu straightened up, pulling out a white and a red packet of powder from her coat.
The best way to get closer is…
A one-night stand, perhaps?
The powder dissolved instantly into the drink.
When Di Wei came out, Dong Enyu inevitably urged him to drink.
He had two more glasses until he could barely walk, and Dong Enyu helped him out of the private room.
The two stumbled out, and the two bodyguards’ faces darkened.
Their boss’s drunken antics were nothing new, but Zhao Han was usually there.
Today, it was a different woman.
A stranger…
“It’s fine, I can manage,” Dong Enyu politely declined the bodyguards’ assistance, supporting Di Wei as they left Star Diamond.
It was still too early to go home; the night was just beginning.
Di Wei leaned against the car seat, mumbling the name of a hotel.
Although the bodyguards looked troubled, a few words of persuasion were enough for Di Wei to kick the front seat, making the two bodyguards dare not offer any more suggestions.
Dong Enyu didn’t say a word the whole way.
She held onto Di Wei’s arm, her eyes gazing out the window.
The fleeting street scenes passed by, but they couldn’t shake her resolve.
There was no right or wrong; once on this path, there was no turning back.
She knew the ending before the game even started, and to reach the end, she had to pass this hurdle…
The car pulled into the hotel parking lot, a rather private motel.
The two bodyguards stopped trying to dissuade them and simply turned off the car, knowing they would likely be there all night.
Dong Enyu adjusted her coat, helping Di Wei into the elevator.
The man was completely drunk, barely able to take a few steps, almost collapsing onto Dong Enyu.
But while his body was weak, his mouth wasn’t idle, his head swaying as he kept muttering ‘Zhao Han,’ ‘Zhao Han,’ endlessly, even making Dong Enyu, as a mistress, feel a bit annoyed.
As soon as they entered the room, the woman pushed the man onto the large bed, the soft mattress sinking significantly.
Di Wei closed his eyes, letting out a few drunken hiccups, and turned over, falling into a deep sleep.
Standing at the foot of the bed, Dong Enyu’s face was expressionless.
She turned to ensure the door was locked and the curtains were fully drawn before taking action.
A one-night stand?
“Heh.” The woman let out a cold laugh.
To those outside the door, she was a mistress trading her body for value.
Inside, she was an agent extracting information.
Dong Enyu searched Di Wei’s suit jacket for his phone.
She took a towel and went into the bathroom, the sound of the shower echoing.
The woman sat on the edge of the bathtub, scrolling through the phone screen.
The contact list was filled with numbers, none anonymous or suggestive, just a string of numbers passing before her eyes.
Dong Enyu pursed her lips, feeling a bit more anxious.
Because the likelihood of these numbers being from hotel hostesses was high…
However, Dong Enyu still carefully noted down a few numbers.
Fifteen minutes later, she returned to the bedroom wrapped in a bathrobe.
Di Wei was already snoring, completely defenseless, allowing the woman to do as she pleased.
Was this the courage of the Wutang Boss, or his folly?
Dong Enyu placed the phone back in Di Wei’s suit pocket, then knelt on the bed to help him undress.
“Zhao… Han…” Di Wei mumbled, his eyes half-open, unable to focus.
Reflected in his pupils was Dong Enyu’s expressionless face.
“Han… Little Han…” Di Wei’s tone carried a hint of amusement as he raised his hands to wrap around Dong Enyu’s neck.
Like a child seeking affection.
“How rude,” Dong Enyu said with a cold smile as she unbuttoned his shirt.
“Clearly, I’m the one by your side.
How can you call another woman’s name? That would make me angry.”
Just a joke…
The Wutang Boss, cherished like a treasure, was just an empty shell.
Dong Enyu stripped Di Wei completely naked, while she herself sat on the man’s abdomen wearing a bathrobe.
Below her was Di Wei, drunk and unconscious, and she was a woman ready to stage a one-night stand.
Doing nothing probably wouldn’t work; even if her mind was foggy, her body’s memory still existed.
If she didn’t follow the plan, even a slight oversight would lead to failure.
Especially at such a critical moment.
“Han… Han…” A soft call brought Dong Enyu’s wandering thoughts back to reality.
Did he really like her that much? What was this faint stirring feeling in her heart? Dong Enyu extended her index finger to press against the man’s lips, bending down at the same time.
“Your favorite Teacher Zhao isn’t here.”
Di Wei struggled to open his sleepy eyes, looking at the woman with a blank expression.
“It’s just me, Dong Enyu.”
