Chapter 451 The Club's Surprise 1.

After saying goodbye to Liao Yunsong, I returned to the company to wait for news. Judging from his expression, it was probably going to be another troublesome matter, and just thinking about it gave me
a headache .

Two days passed, and instead of Liao Yunsong's call, I received a text message from Su Feng, inviting people to a gathering on Saturday.
This time, he told me to come in the afternoon and reminded me to come early.

I was a little confused, not understanding why it was earlier this time, and
I felt a strange excitement. When I told my wife, she seemed excited. Perhaps these uneventful days had bored her, and she missed that wicked desire. After all
, few people can forget the unknown passion they've experienced.

On that day, my wife started preparing early, putting on makeup and dressing up in front of the mirror, trying on outfit after outfit,
and insisting that I give her my opinion. This is a troublesome thing for a man. No matter what he wears, he can't
say it's not pretty, or he'll be ridiculed; but he can't say it's pretty in every outfit, or he'll be accused of being perfunctory.
As she kept changing clothes, constantly thinking of adjectives and learning to express herself tactfully was no easy
task.

It turns out that women have a very clear understanding of what they need and like. They ask men
for advice simply because they don't want to be alone, or on a whim, they want some extra opinions. I genuinely
thought many clothes looked beautiful on her and offered my suggestions, but ultimately she made her own decision and chose a
little white dress.

Men often let their own preferences influence their dressing of women; they like women in high heels,
tight clothes, and stockings, but these things may not suit women. Women, on the other hand, clearly
know what suits them best. My wife was the same; that little dress made her even more adorable and
playful, endearing her to all.

I naturally liked it too, and if it weren't for the late hour, I would have tried it on first. We left at three in the afternoon, driving
my wife down that familiar road. I can no longer remember the nervousness of my first time here;
everything so natural and familiar.

It was late autumn, and the green leaves on the trees along the roadside in the villa area were gradually turning yellow. Unconsciously, I'd been a member of this
club for almost half a year. I'd met many couples, and surprisingly, I felt no discomfort whatsoever. On the contrary, when things got tough, I
felt grateful to have them by my side.

I wondered if my wife felt the same way. Stealing a glance, I saw her engrossed in tidying her clothes, looking in
the mirror , touching up her makeup if she wasn't satisfied with something. Seeing that she was no longer tense or resistant,
I wondered if it was acceptance or resignation. Since that time, I hadn't had the courage to ask. Perhaps it was cowardice. Sometimes I
felt that things were fine this way; life was happy, and we tacitly agreed not to ask anything.

Driving onto the side road, the car quickly entered the villa. For some reason, today felt different. Three cars were already parked in the yard
; it seemed people had arrived. But that wasn't what puzzled me. It was the entire villa,
decorated festively, with red carpets and colorful lights and star-shaped decorations hanging everywhere.

My wife looked at me with the same surprise, questioning me. I shook my head, indicating I didn't know. No need to guess; everything
would be clear once we went inside. I led her along the carpet into the villa. Inside, we saw a "Happy
Birthday , along with a large red lantern.

Several figures were busy at work: Su Feng, Li Qiuyue, the Qian Hao couple, Mu Xinru, the Zhou Cang couple, and Zhao
Shiya and Qin Wei. We guessed it must be someone's birthday, but we were puzzled. Since it was a party, why wasn't Ye Ziyan there?

Seeing my wife and me, Su Feng immediately waved us over to help. Full of questions, before
we could even ask, Su Feng handed us a bag of ribbons and told us to decorate the walls.

The others were setting up the tables and drinks; we had no choice but to get to work. While decorating, I asked
Su Feng and learned that it was Ye Ziyan's birthday. He had just flown back from out of town that morning, and
to surprise her, he had pretended to be on business there.

Was this the shock before the surprise? I smiled wryly. It was her birthday, and hearing her husband couldn't come home, I wondered
how Ye Ziyan felt. Thinking back to the last time I accompanied her shopping, and the things we said at home afterwards, I felt a pang of
sympathy for that woman. But thankfully, Su Feng remembered, which showed some thought; even if he teased her a little, it was somewhat
understandable .

We didn't have much to do, but helping out was a small token of our appreciation for Ye Ziyan. However, I still objected to Su Feng
not telling me sooner, so we could have prepared a gift. To my surprise, Su Feng smiled and said that a gift is just a token of affection;
she doesn't need anything. Our arrival to celebrate her birthday is the best gift.

I was speechless at this theory. Soon after, Qin Xue and Wu Peng arrived. When they entered, their
expressions were the same as ours—utterly bewildered. They received the same treatment; without saying a word, Su Feng
handed them a bag of small ornaments and told them to hang them up along the path from the doorway.

The Wu couple stared at the ornaments in their hands, their faces full of confusion. We all laughed and told them to greet them while
we explained. They were also surprised to hear it was Ye Ziyan's birthday.

Tang Wei, Guo Xiang, Yang Xu, and Pang Hui arrived one after another. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and perhaps it was the combination of
men and women made the work easier. They finally finished setting everything up before dark.

The group bustled about, and when they stood inside, looking at this dreamlike world, they finally felt the effort
was worthwhile . However, Liang Yuzhen and Huo Lixiang still hadn't arrived. I looked at Su Feng with suspicion, and he said he didn't
know either, adding that he had sent them text messages beforehand.

With this settled, another headache lay before us: how to trick Ye Ziyan into coming. Su Feng
couldn't call, much less answer, or he'd be exposed.

The men exchanged glances, and Zhou Cang was the first to speak up, picking up the phone and dialing. It connected, but the call was cut off after only
a few words . Facing everyone's gaze, he could only shrug dejectedly.

Then Wu Peng took his turn, only to meet the same fate. He looked so heartbroken he was almost crying.
I sighed, how could they be so heartless?

Then Qian Hao, Guo Xiang, and Qin Wei took turns trying, but still, nothing was found. Now everyone finally understood that Ye
Ziyan was truly upset. Su Feng was frantically pacing around, saying that if all else failed, they should just go and pick her
up, but the others immediately stopped him, otherwise all this effort would be wasted.

Finally, all eyes fell on me. The people before me had known Ye Ziyan for so long and had ended up in such a state,
let alone me. Without making a phone call, I shook my head, indicating my inability to help. I thought that since Liang Yuzhen wasn't there, the scene wouldn't be...
Someone was about to get rough, but then Li Qiuyue suddenly appeared out of nowhere and "casually" touched me.
Her eyes flashed with a seductive smile as she said, "If you don't bring Ye Ziyan here, don't even think about touching any other woman here."

While that beauty mark and those captivating eyes were alluring, wasn't this just asking the impossible? Besides, my lower body
was numb , and I'd even forgotten the excuse I'd prepared. That threat had practically driven me to desperation. I
glanced at my wife, but to my surprise, she'd also betrayed me, looking at me innocently and nodding in agreement with Li Qiuyue.

Damn it, she's threatening me with outsiders and then pretending to be innocent! Forced into a corner, I still hoped to bring Ye
Ziyan. She'd sacrificed so much for the club; tonight she was the star, so many people had gone to such lengths
to prepare —she deserved to enjoy it.

I picked up the phone and dialed, my heart pounding. I was afraid Ye Ziyan wouldn't agree, and I was also afraid of failure—what if these women came after me then
?! Judging from those men's attitude, they'll definitely leave me to die. Why is all the blame being pinned
on me? It's because they couldn't hire anyone! It seems the youngest always gets the scapegoat.

"What?" Ye Ziyan's indifferent voice came through the phone as soon as it connected.

My heart skipped a beat; her tone was off! Having known her for so long, that woman always managed to quiet men down and get
them to listen to her, but this was completely different. "Uh, I have something to do. Could you come out?"

"No time tonight! Find someone else!" Ye Ziyan said unfriendly, probably thinking I was lonely and wanted to meet
her for "that."

For some reason, I had a feeling she was about to hang up again, and I felt that this time she would
just turn off her phone. On the brink of life and death, I hurriedly called out, "Hey, wait! Wait a minute!"

Chapter 452 The Club's Surprise 2

Whether it was divine favor or Ye Ziyan truly treating me differently, she huffed and puffed, "What else is
there?"

I thought for a moment, not caring about anything else now, and pulled out my only trump card, "Do you remember the favor you owe me?"

"What is it?" Perhaps because I used such a lame trick, Ye Ziyan replied angrily.

"I need it now, hurry up and get dressed up beautifully, I'll be waiting for you at the villa!" I said bluntly.

"I'm really not in the mood tonight." Ye Ziyan said softly, seemingly helpless.

"I don't care, I want you to fulfill your promise now." I said firmly.

"Then let's make it clear first, I'm not in a good mood today, don't be disappointed when you come." Ye Ziyan countered.

"No, as long as you're here." I said readily, the weight in my heart finally lifted, my mood would naturally
improve once the person arrived.

"Are you really determined to use that rare opportunity tonight?" Ye Ziyan asked, whether out of concern for me
or uncertainty.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up, I can't wait." To distract her, I deliberately spoke in a hurry.

"Okay! I'll be there soon." Ye Ziyan reluctantly agreed.

"I'll wait for you." Afraid she would change her mind, I quickly hung up the phone.

"How did it go?" Su Feng asked nervously from behind.

"It's done, I'll be there soon." I replied smugly. Seeing the usually composed Su Feng so anxious made it all worthwhile,
but it also showed that Ye Ziyan held a very high place in his heart.

"Good! Everyone, get ready." Su Feng called out happily.

Hearing that things were settled, everyone cheered, very happy. However, the other men looked at me with
a strange gaze. Was it envy, jealousy, or hatred? It was all well-intentioned. I was naturally happy to have won over Ye Ziyan, so it seemed
I still held a certain place in that woman's heart. However, one person in the crowd had a rather unfriendly look in his eyes, and my wife
's gaze made my back feel cold.

But there was no time to investigate further now, because Su Feng had assigned tasks to everyone. After everyone took their positions, Su
Feng approached the villa and turned off all the lights. The once colorful and brightly lit villa instantly fell into
darkness and silence. Only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional soft
whispers .

We didn't have to wait long; about ten minutes later, car headlights came on outside the villa. Because it was dark all around, the lights
were very conspicuous. Knowing that Ye Ziyan had arrived, everyone hissed, and the only sound was the car engine.

The headlights quickly entered the villa, and everyone hid in the shadows, watching the car slowly drive to the villa gate
and then be forced to stop. The trap had been set up beforehand to prevent her headlights from illuminating the interior of the villa;
a small checkpoint had been set up at the entrance. The car couldn't get in, so only the person could.

The car door opened, and Ye Ziyan walked to the entrance. Seeing the iron bars that were more than half a foot above the ground, she was speechless and
a little confused, wondering when they had appeared there. But she seemed to be in a really bad mood right now, without even the will to
argue or explore. She took out her phone, ready to call me.

However, I had already turned off my phone. I called once, and perhaps hearing the prompt, Ye Ziyan frowned, then angrily
pressed the redial button, only to get the same "phone off" message again. She frowned, raised her hand, seemingly wanting to smash her phone in anger.

She stood in front of the car headlights, and we could clearly see her expression in the darkness.

But I must say, Ye Ziyan looked stunning tonight. Perhaps she had listened to me and had truly
dressed . A pink off-shoulder dress revealed her fair arms and deep collarbones. A wide pink
belt cinched her waist, highlighting her curves.

A pair of fiery red high heels paired with vibrant lipstick created a look that was both striking and tasteful. Perhaps intentionally wanting to
indulge and let loose, her long, wavy hair cascading down her back gave her a slightly worldly air, but it
only made her seem more approachable, less distant, and inviting.

Seeing Ye Ziyan like this, I'm afraid not only I, but every man present felt a surge of desire! I was actually starting
to regret using up the condition I'd worked so hard to obtain. But I didn't have much time to regret it. Ye
Ziyan, lifting her skirt, stepped into the villa, stood by the car headlights, and called out, "Xu Lei!"

I heard her, but naturally, I didn't answer. Ye Ziyan stood there, perhaps waiting for my response, or perhaps
wondering if I'd tricked her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she seemed to decide to come in and see for herself. She slowly moved out of the car headlights'
range and into the darkness! I could tell she was still a little nervous and scared. This was understandable; in such a dark
environment , surrounded by green vegetation, even a kitten walking by in the dark
would be frightened!

Everyone held their breath as Ye Ziyan slowly walked to the center of the villa's lawn, entering the pre-arranged
spot . *Click!* Suddenly, a switch clicked on the roof, and a large light instantly shone on Ye Ziyan. It seemed...
Startled, Ye Ziyan gasped, her eyes still stinging, and she shielded her eyes from the blinding light. She
quickly lowered her hand and looked around in confusion.

Confused by the sudden scene, Ye Ziyan was still a little disoriented. Soon, a series
of clicking sounds came from all around, and six or seven colorful lights lit up a few meters away, illuminating the red
carpet and its edges, all the way to the red roses placed at the villa entrance.

At this moment, Ye Ziyan finally understood—perhaps a surprise, perhaps a joy. She frowned slightly,
covered her mouth, and seemed about to cry. But this was only the beginning. Before she could calm herself, all the colored lights on the lawn
lit up, forming a heart shape in the center, flashing the words "Happy Birthday."

Only then did Su Feng emerge from the villa, greeting her at the door like a host. We, who had been lying in wait all morning,
slowly emerged as well. Seeing the crowd, Ye Ziyan's eyes welled up with tears. We had already changed into festive
clothes and stood on either side of the red carpet in the order we joined the club.

I was the last to arrive, so I approached Ye Ziyan first, bowing like a gentleman and extending my hand.

Ye Ziyan understood, slowly reaching out to take her soft little hand. I bent down and kissed it, saying, "Happy Birthday!"

Seeing her eyes welling up with tears, about to fall, I smiled and cautioned, "Don't cry! Your makeup will be ruined
!"

She glared at me haughtily, seemingly angry at my words and at how I had tricked her into coming,
but she still wiped her eyes away. I took Ye Ziyan's arm and we slowly walked towards the villa, my wife carrying a flower basket,
scattering petals along the way. As we walked, the small fireworks prepared on both sides of the red carpet burst into brilliant flames…

We stopped at Guo Xiang's spot, and I handed Ye Ziyan to him. Guo Xiang bowed, kissed the back of her hand, and
then took Ye Ziyan's arm as we moved on to the next spot.

My wife and I followed behind. After all the men had exchanged partners, Zhou Cang led Ye Ziyan up the steps and finally handed
her over to Su Feng. Looking at the smiling Su Feng, Ye Ziyan seemed unable to hold back any longer, turning her head to wipe away tears.

These were tears of joy and excitement. Once Ye Ziyan had calmed down, Su Feng led her closer to the villa. The interior
had been completely transformed, like a fairytale world, shimmering with dreamlike colors under the lights, adorned with "Happy
Birthday !"

signs. At each area they reached, the lights in that area illuminated. Reaching the center of the villa, a
flame , revealing a three-tiered cake under the lights, and the room echoed with "Happy Birthday." Seeing the cake and
hearing the music, Ye Ziyan finally couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face as she smiled through her tears.

"Happy Birthday to you!..." We surrounded Ye Ziyan and Su Feng, clapping and singing along.

"Happy Birthday!" Su Feng said softly to Ye Ziyan.

Ye Ziyan hugged Su Feng tightly and gave him a long, sweet kiss. We all clapped and cheered. Amidst
the laughter of the crowd, the two separated. Ye Ziyan still couldn't control her emotions and sobbed intermittently. However, she was still a little upset that Su Feng
hadn't told her beforehand, and whispered something with a mixture of anger and sweetness.

Taking this opportunity, we quickly lit the candles. Su Feng invited, "Blow out the candles and make a wish!"

Ye Ziyan looked at us, and we clapped and encouraged her, "Blow out the candles..."

The cake was too big, a round table cake, and Ye Ziyan was a little troubled, but there was nothing she could do. She could only take a breath and
try her best. Looking at her little face, which was flushed red, we wanted to laugh. In the end, it took everyone's
combined effort to blow out all the candles.

Ye Ziyan stood in the middle of the crowd, closed her eyes, and made a wish. Seeing her sincere appearance, everyone wanted to know
what she wished for, but no one was destined to know.

Zhou Cang acted as the master of ceremonies tonight. After the wishing was finished, he invited the birthday girl to speak. Ye Ziyan was still somewhat emotionally
unstable . The usually eloquent woman surprisingly waved her hand, saying no.

But at a time like this, there was no turning back; all the men were hoping Ye Ziyan would say a few words. Perhaps it was
her birthday tonight, because even his wife, unusually, wasn't so wary of her and joined in the teasing.

Unable to withstand the crowd, Ye Ziyan had no choice but to go on stage. However, perhaps due to the overwhelming surprises and shocks, her mind was truly in disarray .
The usually composed and organized woman was actually afraid, pulling Su Feng along before daring to go on stage. Holding the microphone,
she appeared nervous, thinking for a long time, opening her mouth several times, but unable to utter a word.

But everyone waited quietly, as if anticipating a good show, or perhaps hoping she would say something.

Chapter 453 The Club's Surprise 3

Ye Ziyan, holding the microphone, looked at Su Feng beside her and said, "First, I want to thank my husband. Although he lied to me terribly,
I still want to thank him for caring about me, for putting aside his business to come back and celebrate my birthday."

Su Feng tightened his grip on Ye Ziyan's shoulder and smiled, "It's all what I should do."

With a warm smile, Ye Ziyan turned to look at us and said, "And then thank you all. I really thank you for being by
my side and giving me such a special birthday." When she said "special," her tone was somewhat mournful.

Knowing the reason, we couldn't help but laugh. Ye Ziyan continued, "At first, I thought I'd have to
spend at home, but I didn't expect..." She suddenly burst out laughing, "Oh, right, I also want to thank
the gentleman who called earlier. I apologize for hanging up!"

Naturally, no one really held a grudge against Ye Ziyan, but Zhou Cang still spoke up, "So how are you going to compensate us!"

"That's right! We've been so good to you, and you're so biased. We called and hung up after only a few words, but
Brother Xu invited you out. This is really upsetting us!" Wu Peng chimed in.

"Yeah! Yeah!" All the men chimed in, dissatisfied.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ye Ziyan panicked for a moment and turned to Su Feng for help. Su Feng
shook his head, indicating there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that the men wouldn't give up, Ye Ziyan felt helpless. Suddenly, she broke free from Su Feng's embrace, gracefully
walked off the stage, and went to Zhou Cang first, kissing him on the cheek.

"Wow!" This kind of spontaneous kiss isn't something you just happen to encounter. Zhou Cang was the first to touch his cheek, exclaiming with a lingering
sense of satisfaction .

"Me too! I called too!" Wu Peng chimed in.

"Don't forget about us." Qian Hao joined in the teasing.

Ye Ziyan sighed in resignation, then walked over to Wu Peng and lightly kissed him on the cheek. Wu Peng smiled
contentedly . Before the others could complain, Ye Ziyan went to Qian Hao. The remaining men immediately paired up,
craning their necks and sticking their cheeks out, waiting.

This left Ye Ziyan speechless and shy, but she still kissed them one by one. After waiting for so long, it was finally my turn.
She suddenly stopped, and I looked at her in confusion. She poked my forehead with her delicate finger and said, "You lied to me too.
It's because of you that others are unhappy. You won't get a reward today." "

Ah! Why are you being treated differently?" I protested.

"My presence is the biggest reward for you," Ye Ziyan said, pouting like a proud princess.

"Hey, I wasted one of my most precious advantages!" I continued to plead.

"Who told you to lie to me?" Ye Ziyan didn't return the greeting and turned back to the stage.

Looking at Ye Ziyan's pretty back, I felt like crying.

"Serves you right!" my wife gloated from behind.

I looked at my wife with a wronged expression, hoping to gain her sympathy, but she just snorted and turned her head back to the stage. I felt a little dejected.

I had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead! No, this was more like sacrificing my cub to catch the wolf.

"Actually, I have so much to say to you all, but I just can't bring myself to say it." Standing back on the stage, Ye
Ziyan 's eyes welled up with tears again. As she sobbed, Su Feng pulled her close and hugged her. She smiled and said, "Anyway,
thank you for being by my side. Thank you for giving me a birthday I'll never forget."

Everyone applauded enthusiastically. It should have been a happy day, but not wanting to make everyone feel sad, Ye Ziyan turned and buried
her head in Su Feng's arms.

Zhou Cang seized the opportunity to announce, "The birthday party officially begins."

The crowd quickly dispersed, each person carrying out their assigned tasks: drinks, desserts, various foods,
and cake-cutting tools.

Once Ye Ziyan had calmed down, the crowd coaxed her down to take charge of the three-tiered cake. Looking at the cake
before , Ye Ziyan hesitated, trying several times without knowing where to begin. Whether it was premeditated
or a spur-of-the-moment decision, Zhou Cang suddenly grabbed a handful of cake and, like in a snowball fight, threw it directly at Ye Ziyan's
chest .

The cake splattered onto the skirt with a soft sound, then slowly slid to the ground, leaving a stain as proof that it
had once intimately touched the mountain that the man had dreamed of. Initially a little dazed, Ye Ziyan
quickly recovered, dropping her tools and grabbing the cake to retaliate.

Unfortunately, her aim was off; the cake grazed past Zhou Cang and landed on Mu Xinru behind her, suffering
collateral damage . Unexpectedly, the usually reserved and shy Mu Xinru, without thinking, stepped forward and hurled the cake with both hands.
Completely inaccurate, chaos erupted instantly.

Ye Ziyan cried out and ducked to dodge, while the others, not to be outdone, rushed to the table, grabbing cakes and throwing and smearing them indiscriminately.

Regardless of who was nearby, they grabbed whatever cake they could and smeared it on their faces and bodies.

For a moment, the room was filled with screams, shouts of discontent, angry roars of retaliation, and
triumphant —a chaotic cacophony of sounds.

I naturally wouldn't miss such an event, and we were scrambling for cake on the table. My wife wasn't to be outdone, using
me as a shield and launching a sneak attack from behind.

After sparring with Qin Xue on my right, I grabbed the cake and turned to look for a target when a startled cry of surprise,
along with a dark figure, crashed into my arms. Before I could figure out what was happening, I looked down and saw
it was Li Qiuyue. I guessed she had slipped while dodging someone's attack.

"Thank you!" Li Qiuyue said with a smile as she fell to the ground without me catching her.

"You're welcome!" I replied with a smile, but a wicked thought crept into my mind. Taking advantage of Li Qiuyue
's immobility in my arms, I lifted her skirt and stuffed the cake inside, then, not wanting to leave any more
, rubbed it all over her two little devils!

"Ah!" Realizing what I was doing, Li Qiuyue cried out and struggled free from my embrace.

Thinking of those two soft, white balls, now smeared with all sorts of colors, I couldn't help but laugh smugly. But before I could
finish laughing, disaster struck—a dark shadow hit me squarely in the face. A little annoyed, I realized Li Qiuyue had gone off on her, and I hadn't
even seen who threw it. I couldn't find anyone to get revenge on. I looked down to clean the cake off my face, but then I felt
my belt being pulled, and a small hand slipped into my crotch.

My penis, which had been roused while I was kneading those two soft balls, was easily caught by that small hand. I felt
something sticky being smeared onto my penis as the hand kneaded it.

My eyes widened, a mixture of annoyance, excitement, and frustration. Li Qiuyue quickly withdrew her hand,
not forgetting to say smugly, "You brought this on yourself."

Thinking of the smeared penis in my crotch, I couldn't help but laugh and cry. But the battle continued; there was no time for
reflection At first, it was limited to faces and arms, but later, no one cared anymore; they were specifically lifting each other's
clothes to rub it all over their bodies.

Naturally, the men had the upper hand, with almost every woman present having her chest and dress smeared with smears. Mu
Xinru, Ye Ziyan, and Zhao Shiya all fell victim to my cruelty. Of all the breasts I squeezed, Ye Ziyan's were the most satisfying—perfectly
sized , elastic, and soft. I had originally intended to test Qin Xue's limits, but
she countered, grabbing my hand and smearing my face with smears. I was at my wit's end!

But their flushed faces, panting, and helpless expressions were quite adorable; seeing such a
sight was worthwhile. However, they refused to give up. Unable to defeat them one-on-one, they teamed up, often in
pairs , one drawing fire while the other caused chaos.

The men, lacking the women's unity, eventually broke up their lines and were forced into retreat. Although I
couldn't hold out any longer, I secretly launched my own attacks when they weren't looking. Pang Hui and Tang Wei, two
women I'd never met before, even had their lower bodies smeared with cake by me slipping my hand under their skirts. Pang Hui looked at me with a mixture of love and hate,
while Tang Wei was more direct, grabbing cake and chasing me around the room.

The room, which had been carefully arranged, was a mess in just a few minutes, cake everywhere—on the table, the floor, and
the walls . The three-tiered cake was quickly gone, and some people, not satisfied, grabbed pieces from the surrounding tables and continued throwing them.

When everyone was exhausted and sat on the floor or leaning against the table to rest, everyone was covered in cake,
unrecognizable. Seeing each other's disheveled state, everyone burst into laughter.

Everyone had a great time. After resting for a while, Ye Ziyan was the first to get up to go to the bathroom to wash up. There was no
way around it ; not only was she the star of the night, but also because of her status in every man's heart, she was naturally the
focus of attention. Her originally beautiful pink off-shoulder dress was now completely unrecognizable, and her wavy hair,
face , and almost any place that could be smeared with cake were covered, making her almost look like a cake person.

"Hey! Wait!" Zhou Cang suddenly called out.

"What?" Ye Ziyan stopped and turned around to ask.

"It's your birthday, and we haven't had any cake yet!" Zhou Cang said meaningfully, looking at Ye Ziyan's body.

Seeing the cake all over her, Ye Ziyan quickly understood and cursed, "Go to hell! If you want cake, go eat the one
on Xinru!"

"But it's your birthday today!" Zhou Cang protested.

"Yeah! We haven't had any cake yet!" This was a wake-up call! Everyone joined in the teasing.

"It's my birthday, why should you all get all the perks?" Ye Ziyan said with a smirk.

Chapter 454 The Club's Surprise 4

Hearing this, Zhou Cang suddenly laughed, "Alright, we'll give you some!"

"I won't eat it!" Ye Ziyan naturally wouldn't fall for it.

"Then what should we do? You have to choose one!" Qian Hao also joined in the fun.

"No choice, but if you want to choose, let your wives stand up and choose too." Ye Ziyan drew a line.

This was indeed a good move; all the men looked at each other, and naturally, no one dared to call out their wives.
Otherwise, you might have a good time now, but you'll be kneeling on a washboard when you get home!

"What's the big deal? It's just for fun!" Li Qiuyue actually volunteered.

Not only Ye Ziyan didn't understand the woman's intentions, but even Qian Hao didn't understand, looking at Li Qiuyue in surprise. Although
all the men were happy that someone had stepped forward, there was also some confusion in their eyes.

"Today is her birthday, so naturally we should have a good time!" Li Qiuyue gestured for Ye Ziyan to speak.

"Okay! Since we're all going all out, what are we afraid of!" Tang Wei also stepped forward and retorted, turning back
to look at the women and asking, "Don't you think so?"

The others weren't as crazy as Li Qiuyue and Tang Wei, and they all looked at each other without answering.

"Hey, we've already slept together, what's wrong with playing around a bit? We didn't make you strip naked." Tang Wei shouted.

"Fine, you tell us, how do you want to play?" Pang Hui also stepped forward and said.

Ye Ziyan was now in a dilemma. She had originally been retorting to the men, but unexpectedly, the women started to get into trouble. She
looked at Li Qiuyue, not understanding what she wanted to do. The wife, Qin Xue, Zhao Shiya, and Mu Xinru exchanged glances,
forced into a corner. Although they didn't verbally agree, they joined the other side.

"So, how do you want to eat this cake feast?" Li Qiuyue asked Zhou Cang.

It has to be said, a group of beautiful women with different temperaments and dressed in different ways standing together is quite captivating. Although they
were covered in cake, their natural beauty was still undeniable. All the men became interested, though they didn't
show , they were already excited inside.

"It's simple, we just want to eat some birthday cake!" Zhou Cang said with a grin.

"No problem, we'll let you eat, but eating this cake isn't so simple." Li Qiuyue also
smiled .

"What do you want?" Wu Peng looked Li Qiuyue up and down, asking with ill intent.

"How about we play a game?" Li Qiuyue wasn't afraid of Wu Peng's aggressive gaze at all, instead,
she said with her head held high.

"How do we play?" Guo Xiang asked.

"Simple. Now, you men are one team, and we women are another! Let's split into two groups!

Let's see if you men are more familiar with the women around you, or if the women are more familiar with the men around them,

" Li Qiuyue said confidently.

"What do you mean?" Yang Xu asked, puzzled.

"We'll give each of you men a chance. We'll blindfold you, and you're not allowed to see. You can only rely on your sense of
smell and sense of smell to identify your wives in the crowd. If you can find your wife in the crowd, you pass. If you pass, you'll
receive a reward from all the women—the cake you want to eat as much as you want!" Li Qiuyue said enticingly.

The other women understood Li Qiuyue's intention, and smiles appeared on their faces. It seemed they had long wanted to test the men
around them to see if they had taken a liking to them, but they had never had the opportunity. Now that they had such a good chance, they naturally didn't want to let it go. Not only Zhao Shiya, Qin Xue, and Mu Xinru agreed, but even my wife looked at me
expectantly . Damn it, they actually pulled this trick. Now I didn't even get the cake, and I've gotten myself involved too. If they guessed right, great; if they didn't, they'd be sleeping on the sofa when they got home! But the conditions were a bit too harsh. I objected, saying, "No way! We're at a huge disadvantage right now. You're all covered in cake; how can you smell it without any contact?" Li Qiuyue looked at everyone and compromised, saying, "Okay, we'll compromise. You can touch hands." They looked at each other; although the risk was high, the potential reward was considerable. Men can never , because there are so many beautiful women in front of them. Given the chance, they'd naturally want to take a bite. Perhaps it was Li Qiuyue who suggested it, but Qian Hao asked anxiously, "What if we lose?" "Lose?" Li Qiuyue stared at Qian Hao as if he were a prisoner about to be sentenced to death, making Qian Hao feel uncomfortable. She then laughed and said, "If you lose, you'll have to act like a slave, crawling on the ground, carrying your wife, and crawling around the whole area . That's the punishment. Who told us women to take care of you all day and not appreciate it? How dare you be so indifferent?" The conditions weren't too harsh. All the men looked at each other and quickly decided to take the plunge. Why? The benefits were too tempting. Seeing no one interested, Li Qiuyue called out, "Sisters, let's go!" All the women giggled, swaying their slender waists and swaying their hips, walking with cat-like steps towards the men in unison. High heels lifted, landed, slap, slap, striking the hearts of everyone present. Before their eyes, a surging tide of waves, long legs appearing and disappearing, so imposing, so alluring, so breathtaking. If I were anywhere else, and I were the only man, facing such a group of women walking towards me like this, I might very well have a nosebleed. I couldn't afford to lose face! All the men stood up, lined up, twisted their necks, and clenched their fists, ready to fight. The women, full of momentum, stopped in unison a foot away from the men. The scene was stunning, the fragrance intoxicating. The men all sniffed hard, swallowing hard to prevent themselves from bleeding and embarrassing themselves. Someone took the lead, reaching up to flick their hair, and all the women followed suit, shaking their heads and flicking their hair. Each woman displayed her skills, her expressions seductive, her eyes electrifying. A glance around revealed only large breasts and long legs; at such close range, who could resist? Hit in their vital areas, the men's defenses crumbled before the battle even began, each one swaying precariously. Having won the first round, Li Qiuyue surveyed the crowd triumphantly, "Who goes first!" The men exchanged glances, some hesitant. It was understandable; this was no small matter. Losing meant no reward. Carrying his wife around the arena was a minor matter; breaking her heart was the real issue, and who knew what kind of inhumane treatment he would face at home.

The treatment they received was questionable. Coupled with their previous defeat, a loss in the first battle would undoubtedly impact morale.

They exchanged glances, their gazes ultimately surrendering to Su Feng. This was out of necessity, a forced choice, as he,
like Ye Ziyan, was a leader among them.

However, since they were on the battlefield, Su Feng didn't hesitate, stepping out of the ranks and saying, "I'll go!"

Li Qiuyue smiled, found an unused white napkin from the table, tied it around Su Feng
's head, covering his eyes, and helped him to the front of the line, gesturing. The women understood and quickly rearranged their
positions .

"Begin!" Li Qiuyue returned to the line and called out.

Su Feng was the first to go. Not only were the women nervous, but we men were even more so. Everyone wanted to learn
from the experience, to see if we could glean any lessons and find the tricks.

Standing at the head was Qin Xue. Su Feng sniffed her first, didn't linger, and went straight to the next one. This warmed
our hearts. If we could distinguish them by scent, it would undoubtedly be the simplest method, after all, every woman's scent is
different, and sleeping together every day, we could naturally tell.

The second was Zhao Shiya. Su Feng sniffed her, then moved on to the next woman, Mu Xinru, sniffed her again, and left
without stopping, walking past the previous five women. Ye Ziyan wasn't among them, and a glimmer of hope rose in our hearts;
it seemed scent might indeed be able to distinguish them. The sixth was his wife. Su Feng sniffed her, paused twice, and then
moved on .

The seventh was Ye Ziyan. Our hearts were in our throats; this was the moment to distinguish the real from the fake! Su
Feng, as before, sniffed her closely. Seemingly sensing something, he sniffed again, and a glimmer of hope rose in our hearts.
But before we could rejoice, our hope was shattered. He actually left Ye Ziyan and walked towards the eighth and last woman,
Tang Wei.

Our hearts sank. Ye Ziyan's reassuring sandalwood scent was easy to identify before, but now it could only
mean one thing: my guess was right—her whole body was covered in cake,
suppressing .

Watching Su Feng leave Ye Ziyan and walk towards Tang Wei, all the men's faces turned grim, wishing they could speak up and
warn him. Su Feng stood in front of Tang Wei, sniffing carefully. He was probably just as puzzled, thinking he could easily
find Ye Ziyan's scent, but after walking around, he couldn't detect it.

Chapter 455 The Club's Surprise 5

For some reason, the women present, like the men, suppressed their laughter and looked at Su Feng with unpleasant expressions.

Ye Ziyan, however, didn't show anything. She acted as if she were playing a game,
watching Su Feng with great interest. In her eyes, Su Feng had already proven tonight that he cared about her and had her in his heart.
Whether he could tell now wasn't so important. However, the other women didn't think that way; they were eager
to know their place in their men's hearts.

Somewhat helplessly, Su Feng could only settle for second best and reached out his hand. Tang Wei suppressed a smile and placed her hand
in Su Feng's. It must be said that Su Feng was quite capable; he only touched her lightly twice before letting go. Returning to
Ye Ziyan, the moment Su Feng touched her fair hands, he seemed to feel something and gently stroked them.

With a slightly flushed face, Ye Ziyan calmly gazed at Su Feng. Not disappointing, after stroking him twice, Su
Feng removed the silk scarf from his head and said, "It's her!"

"Oh!" All the men exclaimed excitedly.

Even the women clapped, a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes. After all, every woman wanted
the man beside her to care about her most, to always recognize her.

"A reward! A reward!" the men jeered.

Unable to resist the crowd's encouragement, Su Feng took Ye Ziyan's hand and said, "Today is her birthday, I'm only being intimate with her
."

These words moved everyone, especially the woman opposite him, whose eyes were red as if she were about to cry! Although
the intention was good and touching, it set a bad example for the men. Our perk was thus
abruptly eliminated.

Su Feng was only intimate with Ye Ziyan; it would be fine if we found our own wives, but we couldn't possibly take turns being
intimate with every woman. Otherwise, we'd definitely be flattered and cause our wives' dissatisfaction.

In front of everyone, Su Feng, ignoring the cake covering him, embraced Ye Ziyan and showered her with kisses. At first
, Ye Ziyan seemed a little reserved in front of everyone, her arms hanging limply, but she quickly succumbed to Su Feng's tenderness
. She closed her eyes and held him tightly. The two seemed oblivious to those around them, constantly changing angles and positions;
those nearby could clearly hear their tongues entwining and the soft gurgling sounds of them swallowing.

Although the scene was quite sensual, we surprisingly felt no desire, only感动 (moved), joy, and blessings.

After what seemed like an eternity—thirty seconds, a minute—someone finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, saying jealously, "Alright!

When will this end?!"

Ye Ziyan snapped out of her daze, opened her eyes, and hurriedly pulled away from Su Feng's embrace. Su Feng seemed deliberately
unwilling to let go, smiling as he looked at Ye Ziyan. Ye Ziyan glared back angrily, as if blaming Su Feng for making
her lose herself in front of everyone, or perhaps flirting.

"Are you really planning to kiss until tomorrow morning?" Li Qiuyue glanced at Su Feng and said, seemingly casually.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed, and Su Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Alright! Let's continue. Who's going this time?" Li Qiuyue called out.

With the affection shown before them, all the women became expectant. Perhaps for the women present,
the night of swapping was indeed exciting and wonderful, but in their hearts, what they valued most was still their men.

"I'll go." With Su Feng leading the way, Zhou Cang, the impatient one, couldn't resist any longer and confidently stepped out from the crowd.

Seeing Zhou Cang emerge, Mu Xinru's face showed a mixture of nervousness, fear, and anticipation. She was afraid Zhou Cang might choose
the wrong person, which would break her heart, but she also hoped he would find her in the crowd,
making her feel remembered.

Zhou Cang's eyes were blindfolded, and the women quickly switched places. They didn't try to smell her, as Su Feng had already
tried and failed. He couldn't even detect Ye Ziyan's unique scent, let alone Mu
Xinru's milky fragrance. Now, covered in cream, almost every woman carried a hint of butter.

They could only use their hands. The women's hands were placed in Zhou Cang's, but he only touched them a few times before moving on to the next.

At first glance, many women's hands might look similar, but those who frequently touch women's hands
can distinguish them. Not disappointing, Zhou Cang quickly found Mu Xinru in the crowd.

This relieved the men, but also increased their burden. Even
Zhou Cang, who usually seemed so carefree, had managed to find her. If the next person failed, it might truly break their wife's heart.

The women clapped and cheered again, their emotions a mix of joy and pride. The usually shy and silent Mu
Xinru jumped up and down excitedly.

The result was even more surprising: Zhou Cang also gave up the perk, simply embracing Mu Xinru and giving her a long kiss. The
remaining men, still clinging to a sliver of hope, had to abandon their dreams and obediently think about how to find their wives in the crowd.

The second group was finished, and now the pressure was mounting, like taking an exam. Everyone before them had passed;
what would they say if they failed? It felt like a final exam. A good score meant good
food, a warm welcome, and praise from family and friends; a bad score meant a beating.

Watching other couples succeed and flaunt their happiness, the women were like parents waiting anxiously at the school gate
for their children to announce their good news. Li Qiuyue urged, "Who's next?!"

The pressure grew with each passing day. The men looked at each other, while the women watched their men with anticipation, hoping
they would bravely step forward. For the women, this was important, not just for comparison, but also for psychological
comfort, because they had sacrificed so much for their men.

My wife looked at me encouragingly, confident I could pick her out from the crowd, and gritted her teeth to step forward.

Su Feng was pushed forward, and Zhou Cang was alright; many women thought he was after the perks, and although he
ultimately gave up, which touched the women, they weren't too surprised when he appeared. But seeing me
rush out like this, not only Li Qiuyue, but the other women were also curious.

Standing in front of that group of women, I felt the pressure. They were all about the same size, and their hands were probably similar too. My heart
started pounding.

Li Qiuyue approached and blindfolded me. Darkness enveloped us, making me more anxious and nervous than usual,
but I remained confident. With the signal to begin, I slowly approached, extending my hands. The first pair of hands reached out.
I tried to squeeze it; it was very soft, with slender fingers, but it wasn't my wife's hand. I knew a characteristic of her hands,
which was why I dared to stand up.

Moving on to the second hand, it was warm, with slightly chubby knuckles, plump and fleshy to the touch
, but it wasn't my wife's hand either. It was strange; every time I touched a hand, regardless of whether it belonged to my wife, I would judge it in my heart
by touch. The first hand seemed to belong to Zhao Shiya; I hadn't touched this hand before,
so it was probably either Tang Wei's or Pang Hui's.

Moving on to the third hand, the fingers were long and slender, equally soft, and the skin was smooth, like caressing
a white mirror, as if it were regularly maintained. Although the texture was nice, it still wasn't my wife's; it seemed to belong to Li
Qiuyue. This woman liked to play pranks on me; as I left, I deliberately squeezed her hand hard! Unexpectedly, there was a response—
a subtle slap on the back of my hand.

With many people around and many eyes watching, I naturally didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Pretending nothing had happened, I moved on to
the next hand , and the moment I touched it, I knew who it was. No wonder Zhou Cang dared to step forward first. Each woman
's hand here felt slightly different, though some shared similarities, but none were as cold as Mu Xinru's.

Her hands were beautifully shaped and felt wonderful, yet it felt like touching a block of ice.

Touching the fifth woman's hand, I couldn't help but smile inwardly. Like Mu Xinru, I
recognized her . Her palm was warm, her skin delicate, her fingers slender, even her nails were neatly manicured. Touching them
felt like caressing alabaster jade. It was Ye Ziyan's hand. I couldn't resist touching it a few more times; it was her birthday today, and I'd even teased
her by lightly tickling her palm. Noticing my antics, she gently pinched me.

Suddenly, I felt that playing this invisible game was quite interesting. Although I couldn't see the other person's reaction,
I could freely imagine it in my mind.

Not daring to be too blatant, I moved on to the next one. The first impression of these hands was their strength. The hands of
the women were all soft, but these hands felt firm, each finger brimming with power.
It must be Qin Xue. Not daring to cause trouble, I moved away from her and ran to the next one.

The seventh pair of hands was also quite distinctive, with a wonderful feel—smooth, tender, and even though I couldn't see them, I knew they were white.

Moreover, when I touched them, I could clearly feel the veins on the back of the hands. The hands were beautiful, but still
not my wife's, and I didn't remember touching them before; they might be one of those two women.

I felt a little surprised and frustrated; it was almost over, and I still hadn't found my wife. Although I was confident,
I couldn't help but worry a little—maybe I'd made a mistake earlier. I could only comfort myself, thinking that perhaps someone was deliberately making things difficult by putting
my wife last.

Walking towards the last pair, to be honest, I felt a little uncertain and even doubted myself. But
soon , when I touched those hands, all my doubts vanished.

Chapters 4, 5, and 6: Her Service Was Very Attentive 1.

Touching those hands, even though I couldn't see them, I still looked up and smiled gently. I could feel the owner of the small hands
notice and respond by squeezing my hand tighter.

These hands were not only soft and delicate, with smooth skin, but every part of the slender hands exuded a familiar scent. My wife
loves growing her nails, but her job prevents them from being too long, so she can only grow her thumb nail a little longer.
You can tell just by touching it; I know every little detail. I pulled off the cloth covering my face.

Sure enough, there was my wife's radiant smile before me. Before I could even approach, she threw herself into my arms and kissed me. Although
it tasted a bit like cake, it was still delicious.

The first three passed smoothly, undoubtedly giving the other men a boost of confidence, making them think it wasn't so
difficult after all. The women were cheering, which made them even more excited.

The game continued, and whether it was because the other men were truly conscientious, or because each woman had a different style, all the women
who appeared earlier passed smoothly. Qian Hao also found Li Qiuyue in the crowd. The girl happily hugged Qian Hao,
kissing and nibbling at him, making his already flamboyant face even more unsightly, like a cat with a dirty face after stealing food.

Everyone thought they could all pass, but the game took an unexpected turn at the last moment. Qin Wei mistook his wife's hand
for Zhao Shiya's. When he pulled back the cloth and saw his wife in front of him, his face turned pale and his expression was awkward.

Not only was he embarrassed, but his wife was also a little dumbfounded. Everyone was awkward, speechless, and even a little
gloating .

Whether she was angry or had long been used to Qin Wei, Zhao Shiya just sighed sadly, shook her head, and
looked away from Qin Wei.

"We'll be your slaves..." Li Qiuyue was the first to shout, and the others joined in the jeering.

"Hey, this doesn't count, their hands look too alike!" Qin Wei muttered, whether unwilling to be a slave or feeling
sorry for Zhao Shiya. Then, looking at his wife's hand, he said with a troubled expression, "Wait a minute, I remember this
is clearly Shiya's hand."

"Stop making excuses, a bet's a bet, hurry up and be a slave!" Everyone else had successfully found their
women , only Qin Wei had failed, and even Ye Ziyan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to reprimand him.

Helpless, Qin Wei was usually a bit slow-witted, only caring about himself, and wouldn't pay attention to such small
details. Afraid of causing public outrage, Qin Wei could only walk out with a bitter face.

"Get down!" Li Qiuyue shouted. Everyone became interested and joined in the jeering, but they were all just looking
for a good .

Helpless, Qin Wei had no choice but to lie down. Seemingly feeling embarrassed, he straightened up and asked, "Can I carry you
around once ?"

"You think you're Pigsy, carrying your wife? Today you're the White Dragon Horse! Stop talking nonsense, lie down now!"

The women lined up with Zhao Shiya, several women united in their anger, pressing Qin Wei down.

Judging by their eagerness, they probably already harbored resentment towards Qin Wei. Was this a personal vendetta? A
chill ran through her. She should avoid offending these women in the future, or she might be remembered.

Although she resented them, Qin Wei was still her husband, and seeing him like that, Zhao Shiya felt a pang of
pity and didn't dare to actually get up.

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for? You can't be soft-hearted with someone like him, otherwise he'll never
care ," Li Qiuyue pushed Zhao Shiya.

Zhao Shiya wanted to say something, but it was too late. Several women rushed forward and hurriedly lifted her onto
Qin Wei's back.

"Get him!" Li Qiuyue fanned the flames from behind, raising her hand and slapping Qin Wei's buttocks.

Qin Wei turned around and gave her a resentful look. Although the man felt uneasy, no one dared to come out to rescue him. He could only
grit his teeth, lower his head, and slowly get up from the ground.

Seemingly ignoring him, Zhao Shiya cried out in fright, and several female guards immediately rushed forward
to support her . Others chimed in, scolding, "Run carefully, if you hurt him, it'll be even worse."

Looking at Qin Wei's tearful face, the men could only secretly rejoice that it wasn't them,
and could only pray to God for protection. However, their desire to watch the show remained. The room wasn't very big,
but it wasn't small either. After carrying Zhao Shiya for half a circle, Qin Wei cried out that he couldn't go on, that he had no strength left. The other women didn't
care about that, instead urging him to climb faster.

They silently mourned for Qin Wei, knowing they couldn't miss this rare opportunity. Soon, another man joined in the commotion,
producing a colorful ribbon from somewhere and wrapping it around Qin Wei's neck, instructing Zhao Shiya to restrain him properly. One man stepped in, and whips and
colorful lights appeared—in no time, Qin Wei truly resembled a dappled horse.

The women laughed uproariously, not only not stopping him but adding to the spectacle. Abandoned by everyone, Qin Wei
could only suppress his resentment and crawl through the lap with tears in his eyes.

At first, he felt a little reluctant, but by the second half, Zhao Shiya was the happiest among them, laughing
like a flower, occasionally cracking the whip, her legs tightly pressed together—she really looked like she was riding a horse.

This attracted the other women's malicious glances at their husbands; who would want to put on such
a show in front of so many people? They all shrank back, pretending not to see.

"Husband!" Seeing that her gaze was ineffective, my wife actually shook my arm playfully.

"No! If you really want to play like this, do it at home." I immediately interrupted my wife's daydreams. Although
disappointed had no choice but to accept it.

Only now did this dangerous test finally end; having so much cake on their clothes was definitely uncomfortable.
The women were all busy escaping to the bathroom to wash up. There weren't enough rooms, and they were quickly all occupied by the women. Several women could
squeeze into one bathroom, while the men were left outside, waiting.

After much fussing and rummaging, it took over half an hour to finally get everything cleaned up. Luckily,
everyone had changed into festive clothes at the beginning, otherwise they would have had nothing to wear.

Everyone stood in the hall, drank some more wine, chatted for a while, and naturally, spent most of their time wishing the birthday person a happy
birthday . Thankfully, they had already gone wild earlier, otherwise, who knows what they would have become after drinking.

Time passed quickly, and finally it was time for pairing up. Everyone was looking forward to it. Today was Ye Ziyan's birthday,
and they urged her to go first. But Ye Ziyan said that since Su Feng had gone to so much trouble to celebrate her birthday, she had to spend the night with him
.

Although the men were a little disappointed, they considered it reasonable and didn't say much. With so
many beautiful women around, it naturally didn't affect their mood. The women all thought the man had performed well tonight, even willingly
giving him the chance.

However, they were somewhat annoyed, as they were blindfolded and forced to play a game of "Pigsy Catches His Bride." While
not goddesses, these women were as slippery as fish in water, laughing and exclaiming as they played hide-and-
seek . If the circle hadn't been small, who knows how long it would have taken to catch them.

When they finally managed to grab a woman, they heard her exclamation, pulled off the blindfold, and saw it was Li Qiuyue.

A little annoyed, but not too concerned; after all, some say absence makes the heart grow fonder!
They'd be woman. Although they felt a little ashamed of their own thoughts, they accepted it calmly.

Their wives were caught by Yang Xu, Mu Xinru by Qian Hao, Zhao Shiya by Wu Peng, Pang Hui by
Zhou Cang , and Tang Wei by Qin Wei. No one caught Qin Xue, so she naturally ended up
in the hands of Guo Xiang, who hadn't caught anyone either.

We all had a drink together. As we left, Ye Ziyan secretly asked me
how things were going with Liang Yuzhen and Huo Lixiang. I shrugged, indicating I didn't know. I was also a little puzzled that the woman and Huo Lixiang hadn't come. It seemed something
really had gone wrong. Although there had been a minor disagreement at the last gathering, the two of them still showed up.
It was really inexcusable that they were absent from Ye Ziyan's birthday party today. I decided to go and see what was going on.

As we left, my wife got into Yang Xu's car and drove off first. Knowing she couldn't outrun me, she decided to lag behind. I'd
known Li Qiuyue for quite some time and knew her secret. After what happened at the hotel, although she seemed angry with me on
the surface , our relationship had actually grown closer.

We chatted casually in the car, but when we arrived at the club's parking lot, we still only saw the car, not the woman. More than once
, I thought that this beat-up old car really needed replacing.

After exchanging room cards with Li Qiuyue, it was the same old routine: she immediately threw her high heels on the floor and
ran around barefoot. Although Li Qiuyue always wore high heels whenever I saw her, she didn't seem to like wearing them much.

"Ouch! Running around like this, I'm exhausted!" Reaching the bedside, Li Qiuyue collapsed onto it listlessly
.

"Weren't you having a lot of fun just now?" I shook my head inwardly and turned on the TV.

"Give me a foot massage, they're so sore." Li Qiuyue lay sprawled out, lifting her feet onto me.

Damn! Ever since last time, this woman has shown her true colors in front of me, showing no sign of gentleness or ladylike manners. I
removed her feet and placed them on the bed, asking, "How did you come up with the idea of blindfolding us to distinguish you?"

"Oh! Give me a massage! They're so sore!" I didn't fulfill her request, and Li Qiuyue,
ignoring my question , put her feet back on me, shaking them playfully.

"I have no obligation," I said deliberately, taking the remote and switching to my usual channel.

My eyes were glued to the screen; it was a threesome! My mouth went dry, and I almost choked.

Chapter 457 Her Service Was Very Attentive 2

The phone screen showed this mechanical battle in progress, right at its climax. The woman was a famous Japanese
AV actress, sandwiched between two European men, being relentlessly thrust into and out of her. The woman's eyes
rolled back, and she lay weakly on one of the men, only able to moan.

"Ew! You're almost an old man, and you're still watching this!" Li Qiuyue snatched the remote from my hand with disdain and
turned the volume up considerably.

I stared dumbfounded at the woman, speechless. The moans, indistinguishable between pain and pleasure,
instantly filled the entire room.

Completely ignoring my gaze, Li Qiuyue put her feet on me again, staring intently at the screen.
"Hurry up and massage my feet! They're so sore!"

"Why should I?" Hearing that cry, how could I look away? My attention returned to the TV.

"So stingy," Li Qiuyue said discontentedly, her eyes darting around before she negotiated, "How about this, you massage my
feet, and if it feels good, I'll let you have some fun later, okay?"

"How will it feel good?" I was intrigued.

"I can't tell you now, but I guarantee you've never tried it before, okay?" Li Qiuyue said mysteriously.

"Really?" I remembered she had said there were many variations, and I was genuinely looking forward to it.

"Why would I lie to you!" Li Qiuyue rolled her eyes.

"Okay." Her eyes were full of charm, no, I should say full of allure, still so tempting. I
shamelessly agreed without thinking, practically sticking out my tongue to please her. I took a wine glass from the cabinet, poured half
a glass of wine , and said with a smile, "I saw a method last time, I'll try it tonight."

"What method?" Li Qiuyue's eyes were fixed on the screen, and she didn't turn her head.

"You'll find out soon enough, hurry up and take off your clothes," I commanded.

Having already showered at the villa, Li Qiuyue wasn't shy at all. She stood up and quickly stripped
naked . I thought she would still have a modesty cloth, but she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Seeing my puzzled look, she
laughed, "Why are you making that face? It's all because of you, my underwear is covered in cake, how can I wear it?"

Recalling what happened at the villa, she couldn't help but laugh.

Joy turned to sorrow. Li Qiuyue teased, "Don't be so smug. Yunjuan is the same. She washed herself and is still brooding,
refusing come out. In the end, she had no choice but to leave it empty. Yang Xu is probably surprised right now."

This woman really had no restraint. Hit where it hurt, she retaliated by slapping her plump buttocks
hard saying, "Get down!"

"Ah!" A red blush quickly rose on her buttocks, five finger marks on them. Li Qiuyue exclaimed, "You're going to die! Be

gentle!" But after saying that, she obediently lay down on the bed. She knew how to enjoy herself, turning over so her head
was facing the TV, so she could enjoy the massage while watching the drama on TV.

"I'd rather die in bed with you." I sat down next to her and said.

"You don't have that ability." Li Qiuyue turned around and smiled smugly.

"Is that so? I'll show you what ability is in a moment." I said meaningfully. Seeing that Li Qiuyue was about to retort,
I reached out and pinched her smooth, tender white buttocks hard!

Immediately forgetting what she was going to say, Li Qiuyue tensed up and said with displeasure, "Be gentle."

I smiled, took out my lighter, and lit the drink in my glass. I ran my finger through the glass, and
the drink on my hand caught fire.

Seeing me light the drink, Li Qiuyue's expression changed slightly. After seeing my action, she instantly understood and
jumped up like a startled kitten, exclaiming, "What are you doing?"

"Giving you a foot massage!" I said matter-of-factly, then gestured, "Lie down quickly."

"Get away from me! Do you want to burn me to death?!" As if avoiding a plague, Li Qiuyue immediately jumped away.

"Never tried it before?" Seeing such a big reaction, I chuckled and looked at the slowly dying flame in my hand.

"Who's so stupid as to try this? It's already on fire, and you still put it on your body." Li Qiuyue seemed to be mocking me
for being an idiot.

"It's not hot. Didn't you see it burned my hand just now and it didn't hurt?" I shook my head and explained.

"Who would believe that? It's already on fire, and it's not hot." Li Qiuyue scoffed.

"Try it if you don't believe me. How will you know if it's hot or not if you don't try?" I picked up the wine glass and gestured to the burning
flame .

"Stay away from me." Li Qiuyue retreated to the edge of the bed.

"Do you even want to massage me?" I asked, annoyed.

"Yes, but can't you massage properly?" Li Qiuyue said angrily.

"That's how it works. Didn't you say you wanted it to feel comfortable?" I tried to persuade her helplessly. Seeing that she was still skeptical,
I picked up the flame from the glass and gestured, "It's really not hot." Like a superhuman, I switched the flame from one hand to
the other and said, "Look, it's been in my hands for so long and it's fine."

"Really?" Even with the facts right in front of her, Li Qiuyue was still skeptical.

I nodded and urged, "If you don't believe me, put your hand over and try it!"

Li Qiuyue hesitated for a moment, and the flame in my hand had already gone out before she slowly put her hand over.

I scooped a ball of flame from the cup, suddenly grabbed her hand, and laughed, "Okay, just a little bit."

"Ah!" Whether startled by me or genuinely feeling a bit hot, Li Qiuyue jumped and bounced on the bed,
her breasts bouncing up and down with her movements—a rather pleasing sight. She forcefully shook off my hand, the force so great that she stumbled back
several steps, almost falling to the foot of the bed.

I couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

Having finally regained her footing, Li Qiuyue, still shaken, cursed, "Go to hell! You scared me to death!" She then turned her hand
over and over, checking it repeatedly until she saw no injury, before letting out a sigh of relief. Perhaps realizing she had overreacted,
she was quickly amused by my laughter and joined in with a laugh.

"Was it not too hot? This helps improve blood circulation; I finally learned this trick." I demonstrated by grabbing a ball of fire and
rubbing it on my hand a few times.

"Be careful, okay?" Li Qiuyue said fearfully.

I nodded, still unable to suppress my laughter.

Moving closer, seemingly worried, Li Qiuyue didn't lie down but sat, wanting to watch me massage her. I felt a little
helpless , but seeing her fear, it took a lot of courage for her to accept it. I relit the fire in the glass,
but before I could even touch it, she shrank back, saying, "I'm telling you, if you burn me, there's no reward tonight."

"Fine, I know, are you done yet? It's just a foot massage, why are you making such a fuss?" I said, feigning
impatience.

After I scolded her, Li Qiuyue opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words back in grievance. Looking at her, I
almost laughed, but not wanting to cause any more trouble, I reached out and held her foot. I felt her tremble slightly, then she closed her eyes and
turned her head away, unable to look.

I shook my head inwardly, but I knew she would definitely like it. I pressed my burning hand onto her small foot.
Her skin already smooth, became even more slippery. I didn't care about feeling it, but gently spread the wine evenly, and small
flames ignited on her entire foot. Luckily, Li Qiuyue didn't look, or she would definitely jump up and down.

I increased the pressure and speed of my rubbing, making a whooshing sound, and my palms quickly became hot.

Li Qiuyue also felt the heat and began to slowly pull her foot away in fear. I held her down firmly and called out, "Don't move."

Her restless little foot calmed down again, and the heat increased. When I felt it was about right, the flames went out
. I scooped up another ball of fire and spread it along her toes and the sole of her foot. I rubbed quickly, and perhaps getting used to the heat, and feeling
the comfort emanating from the massaged areas, Li Qiuyue surprisingly stopped struggling.

While continuing to rub, I glanced back and saw that the woman had turned around, opened her eyes, and
was looking at .

I was speechless; she really accepted it quickly. I increased the pressure and asked, "How is it? Very comfortable, right?"

Li Qiuyue pouted and smiled.

"Wearing high heels often makes blood circulation difficult, causing stagnation in the soles of the feet, leading to soreness. This massage is very
effective " I explained.

"Where did you learn that?" Perhaps due to the noticeable effect, Li Qiuyue asked, pouting.

"I read it in a traditional Chinese medicine book," I said honestly. Ever since I first discussed this with Ye Ziyan and
enjoyed the pleasure she brought to my body by massaging acupoints, I learned massage and gradually became fascinated with it
. Whenever I had free time, I liked to flip through those books.

"Ouch! Hehe! Be gentle!" Initially, the soreness in my feet gradually subsided, which was very comfortable, but
when , it was still a little hot, and there was a slight tingling, numbness, and itching. As the pressure increased, Li Qiuyue quickly couldn't take it anymore, and
started giggling with her feet tucked in.

Chapter 458 Her Service Was Very Attentive 3

I held down Li Qiuyue's feet, clenched my fist and raised my middle finger joint, pressing and rotating it on the sole of her foot, saying, "Don't move, it
'll feel better soon." "

Hehe! It's both itchy and painful!" Li Qiuyue couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time.

"Okay, okay, I'll be gentler." I loosened my grip.

Li Qiuyue stopped as expected, and soon bit her lip, saying happily, "Ah! This feels better! You
were clearly doing it on purpose just now." "

At first, the alcohol has heat, so a little more pressure is needed to disperse the stagnant blood." I said, half-jokingly.

But Li Qiuyue was no longer in the mood to argue with me. She comfortably half-closed her eyes and simply lay down on the bed. I
then touched some burning liquor and slid it up her calves, massaging them continuously. Soon she let out a soft moan of comfort and
chuckled .

While I was busy here, she really knew how to enjoy herself. She poured herself a glass of wine, propped herself up on a pillow, and
enjoyed my massage while watching TV.

After massaging her little feet, I dipped my hand in the wine and slowly pushed up her calves, asking, "How is it?"

"Comfortable!" Li Qiuyue nodded, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Not even glancing at me, she seemed a little annoyed. She picked up the burning wine and, still on fire, grabbed
a couple of times .

"Oh my god! The flesh here is so tender, what if I burn it?" Li Qiuyue finally snapped out of it, reaching out to extinguish
the flames on her chest.

I chuckled mischievously, glancing at the TV, and asked, "Is it good?"

"Yes!" Li Qiuyue nodded honestly.

"Can a woman handle being treated like this?" I asked, looking at the woman on TV, who was being tortured beyond
recognition and panting.

"I don't know, maybe it's very comfortable!" Li Qiuyue said, seemingly studying the scene, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

"You want to try it?" I asked, surprised.

"Go away, I don't want to." Although she said that, Li Qiuyue stared blankly at the TV, unconsciously nodding
. Realizing her lapse in composure, perhaps wanting to change the subject, she lay back on the bed and said, "Give me a massage on my back too,
it's so sore."

"Is your whole body sore?" I asked, annoyed.

"Yeah! You really understand women." Li Qiuyue surprisingly nodded and admitted it.

"If you want to enjoy yourself, just say so, why make so many excuses?" I was speechless.

"Oh, okay, hurry up, I promise I'll make you feel good later." Li Qiuyue said, shaking her body coquettishly.

After all that talk, this was what I wanted to hear, and from above, she kept swaying her hips,
as if beckoning to me. I applied alcohol, first massaging her shoulders, all the way to her buttocks, squeezing and deforming the two mounds of flesh with the pressure
, and then pushing up her spine.

Li Qiuyue felt comfortable like a little snake basking in the sun, stretching her neck, her head unconsciously tilting back. I have to say,
this woman's figure is well-maintained, otherwise her flesh would be so firm, and if you tried to pinch it, it would still be elastic. To make it easier to apply pressure,
I straddled her legs and, when pressing down on her thighs, deliberately squeezed the groin area.

My hands, smeared with alcohol, were very hot; I expected her to scream. At first, she did flinch slightly when I squeezed
, but quickly her body went limp, and she began to breathe comfortably. Was this an unexpected bonus?

I felt both curious and amused, and experimentally used alcohol again, rubbing it against her back until it was burning hot. I tried squeezing the groin area
again , rubbing the edge; she closed her eyes and hummed softly, biting her lip, her hands unconsciously kneading
her breasts.

This discovery certainly excited me, but seeing her enjoying herself alone made me a little annoyed.
Suddenly , I stopped and gave her plump buttocks a heavy slap, saying, "Alright! Your turn."

Perhaps because she was completely relaxed, her muscles softened, and after the slap, her round buttocks swayed like tofu, bouncing back
several times. After being smeared with alcohol, her whole body became smooth, reflecting the light and dazzlingly bright.

I couldn't tell if it was the television screen, the sounds inside, or my actions that aroused her desire.
When she turned around, her eyes were slightly red, glistening with moisture. She was a seasoned veteran, yet she showed such an expression; I
could only marvel at how effective that move might truly be.

After taking several deep breaths, Li Qiuyue recovered, her eyes gleaming with a strange light. "That was
really exciting for me," she said, "I'll let you try something exciting too!"

"How?" I asked expectantly. She didn't seem to be teasing me. That experience of ice and fire last time was
unforgettable, a near-death experience. I wondered what other tricks she had up her sleeve.

"You'll find out soon enough," Li Qiuyue mimicked me, speaking mysteriously, though her eyes held excitement
and a mischievous glint in them.

Feeling a little uneasy, I blurted out, "Don't play anything dangerous with me!" "Don't worry, I'll not only make you feel good, but I guarantee you'll crave more," Li Qiuyue whispered in my ear

, transforming into a playful little enchantress . Watching the TV screen, listening to erotic music, and touching my tender flesh, my desire was churning. Her whispered words instantly made me weak in the knees. She straddled my lap, held my face, looked into my eyes, and slowly pressed her red lips to mine. Her lips were moist and soft, her tongue warm and lingering. As I was lost in the moment, her clothes were slowly pulled aside, and her pockets were gradually unhooked. This woman was truly something else; if she wanted, perhaps no man could escape her grasp . Before I knew it, my clothes were off. Desire made me lose my mind, and just as I was about to go further, she suddenly pulled away. She pressed my shoulders and gently pushed me onto the bed. I still wanted to get up and take her, but she smiled seductively and pressed her finger against my chest to calm me down. Strangely, that jade-like finger seemed to have the power to influence my heart, truly suppressing my desires. Perhaps every move made had this power. She took an ice cube from the freezer, somewhat puzzled, wondering if she was going to use the same trick as last time! Under my gaze, she put the ice cube in her mouth and smacked it hard, like a little girl greedily craving candy. When the ice cube reappeared from her mouth, it had changed from its original square shape into a round ice bead. I was stunned. How strong must the suction be to produce such an effect so quickly? I still didn't understand what she was doing, but she didn't explain. Holding the ice bead in her hand, she said seductively, "Don't move around too much later." "What are you going to do?" It was a little strange, even though I knew Li Qiuyue wouldn't hurt me, I was still a little scared. She didn't explain, but smiled smugly and said, "You'll find out soon enough!" Before I could ask, she pressed close to me and kissed me passionately. Because of the ice, her lips were very cold, soft yet slightly warm, feeling like sucking on ice cream, a unique sensation. But this was only the beginning. Once her lips recovered, she slowly pulled away and put the ice bead back into her mouth. The bead, about the size of a thumb, had melted to the size of a little finger. This time, she didn't kiss me again, but slid down to my lower body little by little . I was terrified. I had just experienced those icy lips, and even my mouth could barely stand it, let alone down there. "Are you trying to freeze it?" I exclaimed. She ignored my sigh, and as I expected, didn't swallow the awakened dragon head with her icy lips. She lifted my legs, supported my waist, and extended her fragrant tongue, licking down the dragon head. Even her tongue was icy cold , sending a shiver down my spine. When it touched the dragon's core, she deliberately sucked on it; the icy sensation was strange, making me want to run away yet unwilling to let her stop. However, her goal wasn't the dragon's core, but rather to target my rear. When she licked it, my whole body trembled, as if struck in a vital spot, instantly losing all fighting ability. But she had only just begun; she switched the hand that was holding the ice cube, using her icy fingers to try and penetrate. I hunched over, tightened my muscles, and tried to escape, panicking, "Wait, what are you doing!" Perhaps my plan was disrupted, she lifted herself up from beneath me, glaring at me angrily, her words a mix of revenge and teasing, "You made me play with fire earlier, now I'll let you play with ice! What, a grown man like you, you don't even have this much guts ?" "It's not a matter of guts, what exactly do you want?" I asked, somewhat annoyed. "Oh! You'll find out soon enough, don't worry, I'll make sure you remember it, don't move." She had barely she pressed me down, lowered my head, and attacked again. This time, there was no trial and error; some kind of finger, I don't know what it was, plunged directly inside from behind. "Ah!" My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but cry out in surprise, thinking bitterly, "Am I being anally penetrated?!" Before I could think any further, a cold little mouth pressed against mine. Before the pleasure and excitement could even begin, I felt something being blown inside me. Cold, slippery, I instantly realized it was probably that little ice bead that she had blown inside. The cold wasn't the kind you feel when you jump into ice water; it was a cold that seeped from within, like swallowing a whole glass of ice that didn't melt in your stomach but went straight into your intestines and slid down to your anus. I gasped and tried to struggle to get up and shake the bead out, but she held me down and scolded, "Don't move!" I didn't know what this woman was up to, but soon, I felt completely powerless to move. She quickly grabbed the wine next to her, poured it into her mouth, and slowly sucked the Dragon Pill down her backside, licking the Dragon Root. I couldn't quite describe the feeling at the time; it was very different from last time. Last time it was an alternation of hot and cold, but this time it was a combination of hot and cold, seemingly connected within my body. I was shivering from the cold and sweating from the heat; the hot and cold clashed inside me , making it impossible for me to escape. Chapter 459 Her Service Was Very Attentive 4 I couldn't tell if it was comfortable or uncomfortable; the energies within me clashed, and my whole body trembled. Who knew that Li Qiuyue wouldn't let up? She grabbed two ice cubes in her hand and squeezed the Dragon Pill inside. Goosebumps rose on my skin, and I felt like I was falling into an ice cave one moment and a sea of fire the next, but mentally I experienced a pleasure I'd never felt before. This pleasure then stimulated my body, making it perceive it as a kind of sadistic pleasure. It was indeed very effective; before long, I couldn't hold on any longer. She seemed to clearly see the level I was reaching from my reactions, and just as I was about to climax, she released me.

I opened my mouth and withdrew. Although my body relaxed, I felt a void in my spirit, unsatisfied, and I couldn't help but
masturbate.

She pressed my hand down, and under my gaze, she picked up the wine bottle, as if thirsty,
but poured it into my lower body. I stared wide-eyed, my face filled with disbelief. But it was true.

Before I could say anything, she put down the bottle, guided me, and sat down.

The celestial wine overflowed, warm and fiery, and a burst of dazzling electric light shot straight to my head, making me
dizzy and disoriented. The stimulation of the wine seemed to work on her as well; after just one moment, she opened her small mouth
and groaned . But perhaps it was more pleasure than anything else; she didn't want to stop, guiding me to move rapidly.

Water splashed everywhere, indistinguishable between wine and nectar. She frowned, unable to tell if it was joy or discomfort.

Watching the constantly flowing fluid, I didn't know if it was physical comfort or mental pleasure.

She seemed intent on taking me down in one go, her movements frequent, rapid, and powerful. I had always thought this
intense pleasure could only be experienced by a man, but I hadn't realized a woman could give a man
that same sensation. Previously, only the moment of climax felt truly pleasurable; now, every thrust and slap was exquisite, like consuming
a rare fruit, with boundless energy surging within me, yearning for release.

It was always a lose-lose situation, and women are often more sensitive and vulnerable than men.
While I was being stimulated, she was experiencing the same thrill. Even she quickly became limp and weak,
unable to support herself, and could only lie prone on my chest, though her lower body didn't stop.

I pulled her face closer, tilting my head back to kiss and suckle, stimulating her alluring pink vulva. Provoked by my
teasing, she became even more uncontrollable, screaming loudly,
almost like the women on television, their images overlapping.

She desperately wanted to subdue me, but her strength was insufficient; a woman's stamina, especially in such moments,
depletes quickly. Before I could even reach my limit, she collapsed onto me,
panting heavily, completely exhausted and devoid of her initial vigor.

Although she was in control, she was clearly experiencing immense pleasure. I didn't want her to stop, so I pulled
her and rolled over. With a gasp, she was beneath me.

Looking at her face, red as a ripe apple, almost bleeding, I felt a pang of emotion. This woman was truly a woman
of passion refined tastes, demanding of everything, knowing how to give and how to take, how to enjoy. But now, I
couldn't feel any pity or tenderness.

I clamped her legs over my shoulders, assuming the perfect position, and began to thrust fiercely. All I could offer was to
press her legs down, close the distance, and kiss the sensitive mole at the corner of her eye, adding even more force and a faster pace.

Stimulated both mind and body, she became aroused first, gripping my arm tightly, closing her eyes, and
shaking her head frantically, as if on the verge of collapse. It was as if she were overwhelmed with pleasure, unable to suppress
the joy , and with each thrust, she let out a drawn-out scream.

Her body was as limp as a snake that had been pulled out of its shell, her legs pressed against the pillow, yet she
remained oblivious, drifting and wandering with my rhythm.

I felt like a hardworking farmer, plowing this fertile land again and again, just for
the joy and smiles of next year's harvest. The soil was turned over and over again, revealing all the secrets beneath:
the hidden streams and the irresistible treasures.

Her legs hung limply on my shoulders, swaying back and forth with my thrusts, like a willow branch in a storm. Those
two ripe peaches were even more delicate, swaying in the wind like trees, as if they might fall at any moment.

She gradually got into the mood, the ground becoming increasingly difficult to dig, jamming the tools and hindering the advance. I was almost the same;
the initial surprise was too intense, and now I felt a growing heat within me, the feeling growing stronger and stronger.

Whether it was the inability to bear going alone, or the fear of being further harmed by my blows, she
suddenly , gritting her teeth and controlling the thick earth, causing me even greater trouble.

This truly gave me a headache, made me tremble, and left me powerless to resist. But this was a never-ending war; no one could have
the last laugh, no one could truly conquer anyone else. It was a battle of willpower, strength, and endurance.

Yet, ultimately, one cannot conquer one's own body, and the body never lies. She sensed me, and I
sensed her. She stared at me with wide eyes and furrowed brows, and I stared back at her with clenched teeth.

At the same moment, as the gushing spring erupted, she suddenly reached out and hugged me tightly, her fragrant tongue entwining
with mine . I responded, continuing to dig deeper, hoping to extract more nectar, sweet dew, to nourish the parched
land and plant seedlings.

The spring water flowed gently, moistening the earth and washing away the farmer's sweat, leaving him refreshed and drinking
sweet water. Only when the spring filled the entire field did the farmer feel satisfied. After a long day's work, he could finally
rest in the shade of a tree.

Once the spring was dug, it would continue to gush water even if left unattended. Perhaps because it was newly dug, it was still a bit
unstable, constantly contracting and twitching, sputtering and gurgling, sometimes high, sometimes low.

She closed her eyes, not knowing where she was or where she was going. I, for one, was in a daze, neither in the sky nor
on the ground, not knowing where I was or where I had landed. But the feeling was truly wonderful. The energy of hot and cold was still preserved in my body,
stimulating my nerves and bringing me a unique pleasure, a burning sensation.

My whole body went limp, and I lay on top of her, feeling her body temperature, only able to breathe. We could hear
each other 's heartbeats, but we remained silent, not wanting to disturb each other.

After a long while, she gradually returned from that world, her lips pursed, a happy and content smile on her face. Her eyes
sparkled with an even stronger allure, and she, already captivating, now resembled
a beauty lost in a sea of desire, completely in love with it.

She finally released her hands from my neck, and I slid off her. Seeing her fall into desire,
unable extricate herself, I thought of something and felt a pang of doubt. Even a woman as experienced as her couldn't escape
the control of desire; what about other women? Were they even less able to control themselves?

I asked casually, "Under what circumstances would you women, behind your husbands' backs, have an affair with
another man?"

"An affair?" Li Qiuyue, unaware of my question, asked doubtfully, "What kind of affair? Just sex? Or is it mixed with
love?"

"Uh, it's hard to say, maybe there's a little bit of love too!" I thought for a moment and said.

"This must happen under certain specific circumstances!" Li Qiuyue replied thoughtfully.

"Hmm, like, a former lover or something," I tried to say. I didn't dare discuss this with my wife, but
I met . She's open-minded about matters between men and women, knows a lot, and doesn't know about Liang Yuzhen's situation, so I thought
I'd ask her.

Li Qiuyue looked at me with surprise, thought for a moment, and sighed, "For women, this kind of thing is actually very
painful! Generally speaking, if a woman is willing to marry a man, it means she accepts him and will
love him wholeheartedly. If a woman cheats on her husband, it can only be said that she's heartbroken."

"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

"Men treat women badly!" Li Qiuyue said matter-of-factly, but then immediately added, "It could also be that
the man is impotent, and the woman isn't satisfied." Seeing my even greater confusion, she laughed and said, "Impotence doesn't necessarily refer to sexual matters;
it could also be related to other aspects of life."

"But the woman clearly still loves her husband!" I explained.

"Human hearts are hard to fathom. There can be all sorts of reasons for infidelity—some want to satisfy loneliness,
some are simply seeking thrills, and others might be due to other circumstances!" Although she's a woman, not everyone
can understand another's heart, and Li Qiuyue didn't dare to make any definitive statements. Just as I was about to give up in disappointment, she suddenly laughed and said, "
Why are you suddenly asking this? Are you having relationship problems with Yunjuan?"

"No, of course not, we're doing great, what are you thinking?" I said, embarrassed.

"Then why are you suddenly asking this?" Li Qiuyue looked at me suspiciously.

"Just asking because I was bored." Feeling that soft body pressing against me,
rolling , I felt a little distracted. This woman is really something, even though we just did it.

"Tch, what a waste of my time discussing this with you." Not hearing the answer I wanted, Li Qiuyue said with dissatisfaction,
but then laughed and said, "Now is not the time to think about those messy things."

"Then what should I be thinking about?" Confused by her words, I asked.

Chapter 460 The Wife's Question 1

"You should think about how to satisfy me tonight." Li Qiuyue climbed on top of me,
laughing as she spoke. "Damn, I didn't satisfy you enough just now!" I almost jumped up. It hadn't been long since we finished.
I couldn't help but pinch her nose and say, "You're such a never-satisfied little dog."

"Go to hell, you're the little dog! You were really into it just now! Don't tell me you weren't satisfied." Li Qiuyue
playfully patted my chest.

"I've had my fill." I said deliberately.

"Then let's have some more!" Li Qiuyue bit her lip, tempting me. Judging from her expression, she was really enjoying it
.

"Wait a minute, let me rest and recover." I stopped her hands from starting to wander. I was a little annoyed that I was
usually one messing with others, but today it was the other way around.

Li Qiuyue seemed not to hear me, breaking free from my hands and continuing to do as she pleased.

"Hey, do you want to exhaust me to death in bed?" I grabbed her hand that was squeezing my soft dragon.

"Don't move, you don't need to tire yourself out!" Pushing my hand away, Li Qiuyue resumed her services.

Although I verbally refused, I was quickly aroused; men are so
powerless . I simply stopped resisting and lay on the bed, letting her do as she pleased.

Tonight was destined to be a busy and tiring night.

...

The next day, I woke up dizzy, with a sore back. In contrast, Li Qiuyue, with her almond-shaped eyes and
radiant face, was not only fine after a long night, but her spirit and temperament were even better than yesterday. It seems some people are right:
the more pampered a woman is, the more beautiful she is.

When I got up, Li Qiuyue had already finished washing up. Looking at the thin short skirt she was wearing, I couldn't help but
think that she wasn't wearing anything underneath. I felt so pathetic; I was almost drained, yet I still had the mind
to think about such things.

Finally managing to get out of bed, as I entered the bathroom, Li Qiuyue, sitting on the edge of the bed putting on her high heels
, laughed and said, "You're really something. Usually, my legs start to ache whenever I put on high heels, but today they don't." "

Of course! Do you think I put in all that effort for nothing?" I retorted irritably, turning around.

"Really? So I should thank you?" Li Qiuyue stood up and smiled sweetly.

"If you insist on thanking me, I can't help it," I said, oblivious to the danger, still not understanding. "

Really? Then I'll thank you properly now!" Li Qiuyue approached, reaching out to grab my already
exhausted , drooping little dragon.

Wearing high heels, this woman's figure was even more alluring, but this action gave me a headache. It was a headache now;
normally, I would definitely be happy. Feeling the faucet growing hotter and hotter as she kneaded it, I cried out, "Okay,
okay, I surrender, please spare me!"

I felt a pang of self-loathing after saying that, but what could I do? I was too weak to even walk, feeling completely drained.
Another round, and I might really die from exhaustion.

"You were so impressive last night, performing so bravely, how come you're already done for in the blink of an eye?"

Li Qiuyue pressed her advantage, laughing smugly.

"I know I was wrong, please spare me, heroine." I raised my hands in surrender, and under her nimble little hands, I actually
came back to life, albeit a death throes.

"Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll spare you this time." Whether it was because of my words,
or because she knew I was overexerted, or perhaps she was just joking, Li Qiuyue indeed let go.

I fled into the bathroom, trying to get away from this witch. Frustrated, I thought, "Looks like I really need to work on
my stamina . Maybe next time I'll buy some pills and go at it for three hours straight. I'll show her I can handle her, and she'll know men
aren't so easy to bully. "

But that was just wishful thinking. After washing up, I went down to the parking lot. Many people had already left. My wife was waiting by the car.
Seeing my listless state, she naturally understood what was wrong, and her face darkened.

Li Qiuyue not only didn't help, but instead fanned the flames, whispering something in my wife's ear.

My wife's expression worsened. If the location hadn't been inappropriate, she probably would have grabbed my ear.

Although I don't know what she said, it's best to stay away from women when they're angry. They won't listen to explanations;
whatever you say or do is wrong—that's my experience. I sullenly opened the car door and
got in. My wife, helpless, followed, fuming.

She didn't even bother saying goodbye to that woman, Li Qiuyue. She tormented me all night, enjoyed herself, and then
came back to hurt me. Women's hearts are truly unfathomable.

After the incident with Deng Yi, people now drive out of the parking lot in pairs, and the next pair won't leave until later.
So there was no one waiting in the parking lot. On the way home, my wife didn't say a word, and I felt a little uneasy,
wondering what that woman, Li Qiuyue, had said.

But I didn't have much energy to think about it. Although it certainly wasn't anything good, Li Qiuyue wouldn't really harm me;
it was just some kind of prank.

Exhausted, I didn't have the energy to care about my wife. I opened the door and went straight to the bedroom.

"You must be tired!" my wife suddenly said from behind.

"Yeah!" I nodded unconsciously, but quickly came to my senses and shook my head, saying, "No, not..."

Before I could finish my excuse, my wife interrupted me, "She told me to make some soup to nourish you."

Damn it, that damn woman, next time I'll definitely buy her some medicine, the five-hour kind, so she won't be able to get out of bed the next day.

I laughed and said, "No need, she's just joking with you!"

"I don't think so. Go look in the mirror and see what you look like
. Sunken eyes, pale face, people who don't know you might think you're possessed," my wife said lecturingly.

I was really puzzled; I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to look. Picking up the mirror, I was startled by my own reflection, thinking
it was a ghost that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Did you have to go this far? Haven't I served you well enough? Or haven't I satisfied you?" my wife
said angrily and resentfully.

"My dear wife, you've misunderstood. I was forced into it, I fell for that woman's trick. I was so good to her,
and she set a trap for me!" I immediately put on a mournful face, tears streaming down my face, admitting my mistake with utmost sincerity,
almost begging for forgiveness on my knees.

"Go away, don't try to fool me. It takes two to tango!" my wife naturally didn't believe.

"Who says I can't! I can control my hands and feet, but I can't control this!" I said regretfully.

"Then you should control it properly, or... do you want me to control it for you?" My wife stared coldly at my lower body,
as if she wanted to stop the killing.

A chill ran down my spine. I clutched my lower body and shook my head repeatedly, saying, "Of course not, I'll take care of it. I
promise it won't make such a basic mistake again."

"Hmph!" My wife almost laughed at my self-deprecation, but quickly managed a soft snort.

I simply shut up. If you can't fight, run away. I decided to use the thirty-six stratagems and make my escape.

"What?" My wife suddenly called out before I'd taken two steps.

"Uh, I'm going inside to sleep for a while." I turned back and smiled ingratiatingly.

"It's not over yet!" My wife said, her almond-shaped eyes wide.

"What else?" I asked, surprised. What's wrong with me today? Why are there so many problems? Am I
really cursed?

"Hmph, who told you to make so many mistakes, one after another?" my wife lectured.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, puzzled.

"What did I say? Tell me honestly, when did you negotiate the terms with Ye Ziyan?" My wife stared intently at me.

I froze, not expecting her to still remember what happened last night. And when Ye Ziyan was mentioned, her flirtatious expression
vanished , replaced by seriousness. Knowing this could backfire and cause real trouble,
I suppressed my smile and explained, "Uh! The club had that incident last time, you know! I helped her a little, and I remembered it!"

"A little help? What kind?" my wife pressed.

"Uh, I just got close to Deng Yi's wife to see if I could find out anything about Deng Yi." I wasn't stupid;
I downplayed

the issue. "How did you get close?" My wife was even smarter, immediately spotting the flaw.

I dared not mention Zhou Xuemei's affair, otherwise it would implicate Li Qiuyue, making things even more complicated and potentially harming her
. Unable to explain clearly, I resorted to cajoling and flattery. I approached her, sweetly embracing her, saying, "Oh! It's all just
trivial stuff, why ask so many questions!"

"Don't touch me, explain first." My wife struggled.

"You're my wife, who else would I touch? That happened so long ago, I've long forgotten." I tightened my arms,
tickling her armpits.

"Stop it! Ah! It tickles! Hehe..." My wife immediately fell for it, losing all strength to resist.

Chapter 461 Disheveled 1

I used all my strength to pick up my wife and carry her back to the bedroom. Unfortunately, she was really too weak. Perhaps understanding
that I was willing but unable, she stopped my mischief and questioned, "Why did you do whatever Ye Ziyan asked you
to do?"

"They're friends, just helping out a little! Besides, that matter concerns us, how could I refuse?" I explained,
half-truthfully .

"No, from now on, no matter what you do with her, you must report it to me in detail when you come back." My wife
sternly warned.

"Yes, Your Majesty." I raised my hands in greeting.

"No, you must report to me before doing it, and you can only help after you get my permission. If I don't say so, it's not allowed."

My wife smiled with satisfaction, pushing her luck.

"Then how am I supposed to refuse?" I asked, pretending to be troubled.

"I don't care, figure it out yourself." My wife threw the problem at me.

"Okay, okay, yes, yes." The important thing now was to make her happy, so I readily agreed.

My wife laughed, "I was so tired last night." I held her and we fell asleep quickly.

...

That night really took a toll on my energy; my back ached, I couldn't muster any energy, and it took three days to recover. That
damned Li Qiuyue... I suspect she's deliberately retaliating for what I did to her at the hotel last time. But
it in the past now, and there's no use regretting it. I'll just consider it my own suffering as an apology.

Although there was some trouble, the company's performance is still steadily improving, and payday is in a few days.
Luo Xiu is now in finance, busy with accounting and settling accounts every day, which is driving her crazy. Even
her gaze towards me has become angry. But the company's business is improving, so I'm still very happy.

The company is developing rapidly and becoming more and more prosperous. With payday approaching, everyone is cheerful every day at work.

Looking at the front desk, which is always packed with people queuing up, I feel a little annoyed. Luckily, it's not summer yet, otherwise,
I don't know if those two broken air conditioners will even work. I'm considering that after operating for a while, once the business stabilizes and the company has sufficient
working capital , I'll find a larger place.

There's been no news from Liang Yuzhen. I don't know if she's been fooled by my lie that nothing was wrong and has lost
interest, or if she's doing something else. Huo Lixiang hasn't called to inquire either. I thought Huo Lixiang knew
nothing and the two would slowly reconcile, but it seems things aren't going as I hoped.

They didn't show up on Ye Ziyan's birthday night; perhaps something else has changed. Otherwise, they...
It was impossible to miss such an important moment. Thinking about this, I started to worry.

I couldn't explain why, perhaps it was because I suspected Liang Yuzhen, or maybe I was addicted to spying, but now I didn't want to hear what
she had to say; I just wanted to see for myself what they were up to. Without calling to ask, I drove back
to the theater where she was rehearsing, wanting to figure out the whole story before deciding what to do.

I thought it would be like last time, waiting for several days before I found anything, but this time I only waited for a little over two hours.

It wasn't even lunchtime yet when I saw Liang Yuzhen change into casual clothes, wear sunglasses, and
sneak out .

Liang Yuzhen stood by the roadside, not waiting for a car, and anxiously glanced at the time several times in just two minutes. Her
unusual behavior instantly put me on edge, like fishing, casting bait, and waiting for a long time before the float
finally moved.

Soon, the big fish I was waiting for took the bait; that familiar black Mercedes appeared from one end of the road and
braked beautifully in front of Liang Yuzhen. Before the man in the car could even speak, Liang Yuzhen glanced around warily, and seeing
no one she recognized, quickly jumped into the car.

With a roar, the Mercedes sped off with Liang Yuzhen in tow.

I had already started my car, waiting for this moment, and stepped on the gas, turning to follow. I felt a little uneasy,
worried that like last time, I'd end up outside the city and lost him on the highway. But today I was overthinking it. After driving
for more than ten minutes in the city, the car stopped in front of a casual teahouse.

Sure enough, I hadn't gone to the wrong place; Liang Yuzhen and the well-dressed man I'd seen at the entertainment media company
got out of the car together. They walked into the teahouse side-by-side, not holding hands, but very close.

My heart skipped a beat; I hesitated, wondering whether to follow them in. Liang Yuzhen knew me; if I went in, I
might be discovered. If she knew I was following her, she'd probably give me a piece of her mind, and I'd never be able to face her again. But

if I didn't go in, I was also very curious about what the two of them did inside the teahouse.

Reason ultimately couldn't overcome curiosity. I parked the car a short distance away, comforting myself that it was for Liang Yuzhen and Huo Lixiang's
good, and for their family's sake. With a clear conscience, I quietly followed them inside.

This casual teahouse was quite large, with several floors. The lower floors were crowded, offering traditional local opera performances
and food like noodles. Of course, Liang Yuzhen and that man wouldn't be here. Luckily, I hadn't
been left too far behind; I saw their backs as I entered, following someone up the elevator through a side door.

I ran over, saw the elevator stopped on the third floor, pressed the button, and followed. But once
I , I was immediately stopped by two receptionists who told me it was a private meeting place and I needed a membership card to enter.

Somewhat annoyed, I wanted to say I had a friend inside, but judging from the receptionists' attitude,
they wouldn't let me in without specifying who it was and verifying it. I simply said I'd gone to the wrong floor and sheepishly took the elevator back down to the first floor.

Staying here wasn't a good idea; what if Liang Yuzhen came down sometime and saw me? I could only flee
the teahouse and hide back in my car, a wave of emotion washing over me. Was it easy for me doing this for them? I was constantly on the run, like a
rat in the street. I thought that no matter the outcome, if Liang Yuzhen dared to blame me afterward, I would
tell her all my frustrations, one by one, so she would know how hard I had worked.

Not long after, less than half an hour later, Liang Yuzhen came out of the teahouse. Strangely, she was alone,
still wearing sunglasses, her hair somewhat disheveled, and her clothes a little rumpled. A thunderous roar, like a nuclear bomb exploding in
my brain , made my ears ring and my vision blur.

Liang Yuzhen seemed quite agitated, hurrying to the street and frantically waving for taxis, but all the cars were already occupied;
not a single one stopped. My mind was buzzing. Staring at Liang Yuzhen, my thoughts were completely chaotic. How could
I explain this to Huo Lixiang? What would Huo Lixiang do if he found out? Would he, who wasn't good with words, swallow his anger, or would he explode
completely ?

Just as I was pondering this, a movement by Liang Yuzhen startled me back to reality. For some reason, after failing to flag down a taxi several times,
she wiped the area under her sunglasses, and I vaguely sensed she might be crying. This surprised me. Why? Was it the unease of
betraying Huo Lixiang, or what had happened upstairs?

I couldn't explain it. Perhaps the turn of events was too unexpected, causing me to lose my composure and
decisiveness . Or perhaps I didn't want to see Liang Yuzhen standing alone on the street corner, her figure filled with sorrow. I actually stepped on the gas and
drove over.

Stopping in front of Liang Yuzhen, I rolled down the window and casually said, "What a coincidence, waiting for a taxi?"

Seeing me, Liang Yuzhen was clearly flustered, tossing her hair and seemingly adjusting her clothes, saying, "Ah!
Yes, that's right!"

"Get in! I'll give you a ride!" I invited with a smile.

"No need, I can flag down a taxi myself," Liang Yuzhen said with a forced smile.

"Why are you being so polite? Have we become distant after so long?" I pressed on.

"Of course not, I was just worried you might be busy and I might delay your business," Liang Yuzhen explained.

"It's nothing, just strolling around the street, checking out the market. Come on in!" I lied.

Liang Yuzhen had no choice; it would be really strange to keep refusing, so she opened the passenger door and got in.

While driving, I glanced at the teahouse, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw the man chasing after me out of the elevator. He seemed
to see Liang Yuzhen in the car and kept waving. I didn't stop, but stepped on the gas and drove away. I even
made eye contact with him as he chased after me, but it was just a fleeting glance before his attention quickly returned to Liang Yuzhen.

Because I was blocking his view, Liang Yuzhen in the passenger seat didn't see him.

After leaving the teahouse, I drove onto the main road back and asked, "Where to?"

"Back to the theater troupe, there's rehearsal later." After this while, Liang Yuzhen seemed to have composed herself and said softly.

"What are you doing there?" I asked casually.

"Meeting a friend." Liang Yuzhen replied indifferently.

Wearing sunglasses, I couldn't see her eyes, and her face didn't change at all, but the more she did, the more
suspicious . I can't understand why she lied to Huo Lixiang and to me. What happened at the teahouse just now? And what did she and that man do together
these past few , and during this time we haven't seen each other?

I don't dare to speculate that Liang Yuzhen and that man have had a relationship, because that would not only destroy her
image in my eyes, but also make it unacceptable to Huo Lixiang, and even his wife and the rest of the club
would probably find it unacceptable! Suddenly, I want to talk to her, whether openly or secretly, I want to
know the truth and resolve this matter as soon as possible.

I came up with an excuse and invited her, "It's almost lunchtime, how about we grab a bite to eat together?"

"Uh, it seems like we're running out of time. Rehearsal starts in half an hour, let's do it another day!" Liang Yuzhen seemed
quite embarrassed and declined apologetically.

...

Chapter 462 Disheveled 2

I had anticipated Liang Yuzhen's refusal, so I smiled and said, "Who said we're running out of time? A meal doesn't take long, half an hour is enough."

"But..."

"Alright! We haven't seen each other in so long, it's just a meal, I have something I want to ask you." Liang Yuzhen wanted to
say something more, but I gently interrupted her.

"What is it?" Liang Yuzhen asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out soon." I could tell Liang Yuzhen was a little nervous, but I deliberately didn't say anything, wanting to see her
reaction.

The car stopped at a restaurant not far from the theater troupe. I got out first, and Liang Yuzhen seemed a little uneasy. When
she got out of the car, her high heels slipped, and she almost fell. She followed me into the restaurant in a daze. I deliberately chose a
quiet spot and let her order. She declined, telling me to order whatever I wanted, which was unusual for her. After ordering, she
remained restless.

This made me even more certain that Liang Yuzhen had something on her mind, so I specifically asked the waiter to bring a bottle of wine. I didn't get straight to
the point, chatting idly until all the dishes were served. I helped her pick up some food and casually asked, "What have you been doing
these days?"

Startled by my sudden question, Liang Yuzhen weakly replied, "Nothing much, just busy with rehearsals!"

"Did you receive the text message about the gathering a couple of days ago?" I asked, looking at her.

"Yes, but something came up, so I couldn't come," Liang Yuzhen replied casually. Her expression actually relaxed
a little, perhaps thinking I wanted to ask about it.

"You don't know what day it was?" I didn't press her, asking with surprise.

"What day?" Liang Yuzhen asked, puzzled.

"Ye Ziyan's birthday." It seemed she really didn't know, so I said directly.

"Really?" Liang Yuzhen was a little startled.

"They're all here," I nodded.

"The message didn't explain anything, I had no idea," Liang Yuzhen seemed a little regretful.

It was all in the past, there was no point in dwelling on it. I hadn't originally planned to bring it up anyway; I just wanted to get the conversation going
so we could discuss what to do next. Seeing that Liang Yuzhen was distracted, I poured her a drink and asked, "
What ?"

"What happened?" Liang Yuzhen appeared calm, but her hand holding the glass trembled slightly.

"Don't play dumb with me," I said, gesturing for a toast.

Liang Yuzhen seemed completely distraught today, lacking her usual temper and control. She
drank a glass of wine with me and said faintly, "It's just like that. I don't know what got into him this time, but he moved
into his workplace a few days ago."

"What?" This sentence dropped a bomb in my heart. I wondered if Huo Lixiang had found out something,
or if Liang Yuzhen had done something to provoke him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have moved out without a reason; this was no small matter.

"You didn't ask why he moved out?" I asked, puzzled.

"I did. He said his colleague on night watch at work took leave and asked him to help out for a few days," Liang Yuzhen said dejectedly.

"You believe that?" I looked at Liang Yuzhen suspiciously. Moving out at a time of conflict—anyone not confused
would know it was just an excuse.

"What's the use of believing him? If he says that and insists on moving in, what can I do?" Liang Yuzhen
seemed quite agitated about the matter, her voice rising slightly. She then grabbed the wine bottle in front of me, poured herself
a drink, and downed it.

I was speechless. I asked softly, trying to soothe her, "This isn't like you. What happened between you two
?"

"Didn't I say I didn't know? I haven't received any flowers since, and I haven't read poetry to him again
. Who knows what he's up to now?" This must have really upset Liang Yuzhen, she said impatiently.

"You haven't called him?" I asked.

"I called, but he didn't answer! I even went to see him once, but his workplace said he was out, so I haven't gone back," Liang Yuzhen said
bluntly then took another sip of wine and said, "I just don't understand what I did wrong. Why is he treating me like this
? Why? He's angry, and I'm angry too." Still not satisfied, she took another sip, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "You're playing the running-
out game , not coming back? Fine, then never answer my calls, never see me, never come back to this house."

Liang Yuzhen became increasingly agitated, her voice growing louder and louder. I gently tried to calm her down, saying, "Hey, what are you talking about? Maybe
Huo Lixiang really has something going on at work." Even as I said this, I didn't believe it myself.

Liang Yuzhen glared at me and snapped, "I know, you men are all in cahoots, you wish we
women were all idiots. He just thinks I'm too domineering, that I've been controlling him all these years, and now look what's happened, he's moved out,
what he does is none of my business!" She then added disdainfully, "I don't want to control him, do you think I want to? It's so much
happier being alone."

Knowing she was just saying it out of anger, I tried to soothe her, "Calm down, I'll go ask what happened. If it's really what you
say, I'll teach him a lesson."

"Don't try to fool me, I understood after what happened last time, you're all clearly ganging up on me."
Whether she was confused with anger or suspected something, Liang Yuzhen said irritably.

"Hey, I don't know about him, but you can't wrong me like this. I've run around
doing . I even bought a whole truckload of flowers to check the flower delivery person's phone number." I complained, not
wanting her to hold a grudge before things were resolved, otherwise, things would be impossible to handle in the future.

Perhaps aware of my efforts, Liang Yuzhen only gave a soft hum, offering no rebuttal.

"Last time I offered to help you find out who sent the flowers, but you insisted it wasn't necessary, saying the matter could be resolved,
so I let go. How did it turn out like this? I'm still completely baffled," I

said, disclaiming any responsibility. Liang Yuzhen didn't complain anymore. She poured herself a drink and sullenly downed it.

Although I didn't show it, I was even more puzzled. Liang Yuzhen was clearly with that man just now,
and now she's crying and making a scene in front of me, badmouthing Huo Lixiang. What's going on? Is she lying to me,
or deliberately putting on an act for me? What does she gain from doing this?

After the meal, I hadn't gotten any answers. Instead, I had put on a smiling face, offering Liang Yuzhen a lot of
comforting questions, I sent her back to the theater troupe. Now it seems I need to start

with Huo Lixiang. Fortunately, talking to Huo Lixiang is easier than talking to Liang Yuzhen. No matter what happens, we can sit down
and talk things out; at least we can clarify any issues. This woman is too dramatic; she didn't explain things clearly, and instead...
And it's easy to get yourself into trouble.

To be honest, I was genuinely surprised that Huo Lixiang would move out of his house. For
a man who rarely utters a word to do this shows the problems between them are quite serious. Without further ado, I drove straight to his
workplace.

I was a little annoyed; my first visit to this so-called cultural department was for this very reason. Although they're all government departments,
this place clearly lacked the prestige and grandeur of some others.

I called Huo Lixiang from outside, and he answered quickly. I was somewhat surprised. Liang Yuzhen said she wouldn't
answer, so I thought his phone was off. Turns out, he wasn't. I'd driven all the way here, ready to go inside if he didn't answer. Did
he only hang up on Liang Yuzhen? If so, this is a serious matter.

Often, those who are usually quiet and yielding can be more stubborn than others when they finally snap.

"What is it?" Huo Lixiang's voice came through the phone, but his tone was off.

My heart skipped a beat. It seemed the investigation into Liang Yuzhen hadn't yielded results, and he was truly troubled. But I still
said, "Do you have time to come out and sit for a bit?"

"I'm busy right now," Huo Lixiang replied directly.

Blocked from entering, I tried to reason with him, "I really have something to tell you. Since you're busy, fine, I'll
wait for you outside until you get off work, okay?"

"Alright, you wait then," Huo Lixiang said bluntly, and hung up the phone.

Staring at the phone, I wanted to slap myself. I had originally intended to use this as a strategic retreat, thinking that someone as polite as Huo Lixiang
wouldn't make me wait outside, but he actually agreed. This also showed that he held a grudge against me
.

Helpless, I could only sigh and wait outside for several hours.

When Huo Lixiang came out after work, he was surprised to see me still waiting outside. Perhaps touched by my efforts, he
walked to his car and asked, "What's up?"

"Get in the car and we'll talk," I gestured.

Huo Lixiang hesitated for a moment, then got in.

I took out a cigarette and offered it to him, saying, "I heard from Liang Yuzhen that you moved out of your family home?"

"Just for that?" Huo Lixiang seemed to have anticipated my purpose and was about to get out of the car, seemingly impatient to listen.

"Hey! Don't rush me!" I grabbed Huo Lixiang, feeling a bit annoyed. Why were both of us getting worked up? I quickly changed
the subject saying, "It was Ye Ziyan's birthday party a couple of days ago. You guys didn't come, so I came to check on you
. What's going on?"

"I haven't heard anything." Huo Lixiang glanced at me, his temper softening a bit.

"Well, Ye Ziyan asked me to come and ask. I went to see her today and heard that you moved out. I didn't know
what was going on, so I came to ask." I took the opportunity to bring up Ye Ziyan, even pretending to be distressed myself.

Huo Lixiang stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Have you noticed that she's with someone who drives a Mercedes
?"

Why are there so many unexpected things happening today? Since Huo Lixiang is asking and has accurately mentioned the car model, it seems he
already knows. Although I didn't know how much he knew, the time to test me had come, but I couldn't reveal my secret first. I deliberately
asked with feigned suspicion, "How did you know?"

"Hmph, quite a few people in their group know, how could they keep it a secret?" Huo Lixiang shook his head and laughed, then
looked at me and asked, "But you, why did you lie to me along with her?"

Chapter 463 Disheveled Clothes 3

Now the old man was caught in the middle, suffering from both sides, putting in a lot of effort for no reward. He offended Liang Yuzhen, and even Huo Lixiang
. He could only use the old excuse, "Uh, I had no choice. I just wanted to do what was best for you, afraid that you would quarrel over this
!"

"What kind of matter is this? Such a big thing can be kept secret? Just because I'm afraid of quarreling, I have to be
kept in the dark for the rest of my life?" Huo Lixiang retorted.

I was speechless. Now that I thought about it, I had indeed taken this matter too lightly.

"It seems you really did know all along. I didn't expect you to actually help her lie to me." Huo Lixiang became angrier as he spoke,
opened the car door, and was about to get out again.

"Hey, wait, don't get excited, you can't say it like that." I pulled him back.

"What else do you have to say?" Huo Lixiang looked at me.

"I admit that what I did was inappropriate, but I didn't mean any harm. I really wanted the best for you. You
were already in such a mess back then, how would you handle things if you found out about this?" I explained.

"You still know now!" Huo Lixiang was still angry.

"Yes, yes, I know, so I admit my mistake. I was wrong." I apologized.

Huo Lixiang was indeed much more rational. After listening to my words, he slowly calmed down.

"Of course I wanted the best for you. Although I found out she was following me, I didn't find out what they were doing. If I make
wild accusations based on just one thing, what if nothing happens later? How will I face her then?" I explained earnestly,
half-truthfully .

"So what did you find out when you came to see me today?" Huo Lixiang asked.

Things had developed to this point, and I could no longer hide it. I told him about seeing Liang Yuzhen get into the Mercedes,
losing her on the highway, and later finding out that the man was someone from Interactive Entertainment Media Co., Ltd., and about "
accidentally . For some reason, I didn't mention that Liang Yuzhen was disheveled when she came out
.

Hearing that they had met today, Huo Lixiang reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and slamming his fist on my car, yelling,
"What a shameless couple!"

I was startled by this sudden outburst. It seems many intellectuals really do have this problem; when they get angry, they don't throw things, but
they like to bang on the table. I downplayed the incident, saying, "We just had some tea, I didn't find anything else. Don't talk nonsense.
No matter what , she's still your wife."

Huo Lixiang opened his mouth to retort, but after two attempts, he couldn't utter a word, only letting out a soft snort to vent his dissatisfaction.

I chuckled inwardly. No matter what happened, Huo Lixiang still cared about Liang Yuzhen. That made things easier. I
advised, "Calm down first, let me tell you. Now you only have two paths ahead of you."

Although he was well-read and knowledgeable, the usually somewhat taciturn Huo Lixiang might not be as
insightful about matters of the heart as most people. Otherwise, given how things have unfolded, his continued cold response would have been unbearable for anyone else. They would have already
dragged their wives over to explain things, and then gone to settle scores with that stranger. After hearing my words, he
turned and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I said sincerely, "First, if this continues, we'll part ways, leaving no room for negotiation." Seeing
Huo Lixiang frown and unconsciously tighten his grip on his hand as he shook his head, I chuckled inwardly and continued, "Second,..."
She found a place to sit down, opened her heart, and explained things clearly. That's the only way to resolve the problem
and reconcile.

The logic was sound, and Huo Lixiang remained silent, taking a drag of his cigarette without replying.

"I believe you love her, otherwise you wouldn't be so upset. You don't want to break up, do you?" I affirmed
.

Hit where it hurt, Huo Lixiang sighed helplessly and tossed his cigarette out the car window. Perhaps he was
conflicted, torn between being betrayed by Liang Yuzhen and not wanting to give up their
relationship . "How

about this," I advised, "if you can't swallow your pride, I'll call Liang Yuzhen and say I'll come over to your house tonight.
Have her cook some good food, and we can sit down and talk things over. What do you say?" This was for their sake, and
for mine. Running between two places and getting upset with both sides all the time would exhaust him eventually. Right now, I just wanted this upsetting matter
resolved .

Perhaps undecided, while Huo Lixiang was thinking, I took out my phone and called Liang Yuzhen.
She seemed surprised, more confused than anything, when I told her I was coming over. Before she could ask, I said it was all settled and I
was busy, then hung up.

Hearing Liang Yuzhen's voice on the phone, Huo Lixiang's expression changed slightly; he was clearly still bothered. I didn't
mention that Huo Lixiang would be coming, partly because I was worried Liang Yuzhen would get upset, and partly because I didn't want him to lose face,
since he felt Liang Yuzhen was in the wrong.

I put away the phone, started the car, and drove to their house. On the way, I told Huo Lixiang
to stay calm when he saw Liang Yuzhen and not to upset her. Huo Lixiang looked a little displeased but ultimately accepted.

When the car stopped downstairs at Huo Lixiang's house, he seemed vaguely expectant before entering. I chuckled inwardly; it seemed she still
couldn't let go . I didn't let him use his key; instead, I knocked.

I felt that appearing suddenly, face-to-face, would have a better visual impact. Perhaps their mutual longing
would instantly melt their hearts together, making them forget the barriers between them.

The door opened quickly, and Liang Yuzhen appeared before me, a polite smile on her face, ready
to greet , but she froze upon seeing Huo Lixiang beside her. I urged Huo Lixiang to go forward and say hello, but he opened his mouth,
perhaps unsure of what to say, and remained silent.

By the time Huo Lixiang was about to speak, Liang Yuzhen had already turned and gone back inside.

The scene was a bit awkward, so I could only smooth things over by saying, "Is dinner ready? I've been working all day and I'm starving."

Perhaps displeased with Liang Yuzhen's coldness, Huo Lixiang stood at the door without coming in. I was a little
annoyed , and before Liang Yuzhen turned around, I quickly turned back and pulled him inside.

Perhaps she was angry with me, or perhaps she wasn't prepared to face Huo Lixiang, because Liang Yuzhen
didn't answer me. She walked to the table, opened several covered plates, and the dishes were ready.

"Wow! There's food! Eat, eat!" I exclaimed joyfully, pulling Huo Lixiang towards the table. A little
helplessly, this stubborn man's temper was uncontrollable once it flared up.

I pressed Huo Lixiang into a seat, smelled the food on the table, and praised, "It smells so good! I didn't expect you to be such a
good cook."

Knowing I was deliberately trying to put on a show, Liang Yuzhen rolled her eyes at me and didn't reply. A little annoyed, if it were just
the two of them at home, this scene would be incredibly awkward. Fortunately, Liang Yuzhen didn't make things difficult for Huo Lixiang and even helped him get
a bowl of rice.

"Come on, come on, eat! Didn't you say in the car that you didn't like the food at the company cafeteria and were hungry?"

I called to Huo Lixiang.

Liang Yuzhen glanced at Huo Lixiang, but he had a stern face and didn't say a word
. Liang Yuzhen also turned her face away in dissatisfaction.

A little annoyed and helpless, I suddenly felt like I was caught in the crossfire between two enemies. Who knows when
I might be caught in their rage and become collateral damage.

But now I was caught in a dilemma. Liang Yuzhen had helped me before, and she had a good relationship with my wife; I had promised
her. I could only mutter to myself, "Mmm, delicious. The food at that restaurant today wasn't to my liking, I did
n't eat much, I'm starving."

Huo Lixiang remained silent, as did Liang Yuzhen.

The temperature was dropping, and I was practically freezing. I deliberately tried to scold Liang Yuzhen, saying, "You have such
good cooking skills and you keep them hidden, only teaching Yunjuan useless nonsense. Now she's always quoting you,
driving me crazy at home. Why don't you pass on your cooking skills to her so my life will be easier?"

Seeing Liang Yuzhen's increasingly pale face, I immediately put food on Huo Lixiang's plate, reminding him with my eyes, "Come on, come on,
eat up!"

Huo Lixiang seemed not to hear, remaining motionless. The temperature slowly dropped to freezing.

Frustration and helplessness had turned into pain, and I even regretted telling Huo Lixiang that
Liang Yuzhen had gone out for tea with that person earlier. It seems I unintentionally added fuel to the fire. Although I wasn't there at the time and couldn't
lash out , seeing it now, the saying "out of sight, out of mind" is useless.

Chapter 464 Liang Yuzhen's Outburst 1

Even with all my efforts, I was powerless against their cold war, and being caught in the middle was
painful.

Whether sensing my embarrassment or unable to bear the atmosphere, Liang Yuzhen finally exploded, "If you're not happy
, don't come back! Who are you giving this attitude to? I've prepared the food, served it to you, what more do you want?" Saying this,
she threw the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

Huo Lixiang seemed not to hear, remaining silent.

I painfully tried to smooth things over, "Hey, keep your voice down..."

"If you're so capable, then live in the company for life and never come back," Liang Yuzhen completely exploded, interrupting me.

Perhaps provoked, or perhaps after enduring for so long, Huo Lixiang finally reacted, but this reaction only
added fuel to the fire. He turned his head to the side and said coldly, "This is the house my work unit allocated to me."

My heart trembled, and I looked at Huo Lixiang in disbelief, not understanding why he would say such a thing.

"You..." Liang Yuzhen's face turned pale with anger, her whole body trembling, pointing at Huo Lixiang, unable to speak.

"That's where you're wrong. Between husband and wife, things belong to both parties, not just 'yours' and 'mine'." That sentence was
indeed a bit too much. To appease Liang Yuzhen and calm her down, I reprimanded Huo Lixiang to ease the tension.

Huo Lixiang was well-educated, reasonable, and easygoing. I thought he would realize his slip of the tongue and soften his tone.
But he seemed not to hear me at all, completely ignoring my words.

Sensing trouble was brewing, Liang Yuzhen immediately stood up angrily and said, "You, surnamed Huo, you think you can get away with this? Just
say the word , and I'll move out

right now." I had originally intended to mediate between the two, but things had escalated to this point, and I didn't know how to
handle the situation.

Perhaps it was just a momentary outburst; Huo Lixiang hesitated, remaining silent.

"Speak! Speak!" Liang Yuzhen was now in a bind, pressing him relentlessly. "

Alright! Stop throwing tantrums," I quickly intervened to stop things. If things continued like this, no one could salvage the situation. After all, Liang Yuzhen was a woman, and Huo Lixiang had started it all. I gave him a way out, saying , "I know you're upset about this, but why didn't you think before you spoke? Quickly apologize, and this will be over." Huo Lixiang was quite stubborn; whether he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation or simply didn't listen to me, he turned his head away. This action undoubtedly provoked Liang Yuzhen again. Her eyes reddened, and her lips trembled as she said, "Looks like you've made up your mind . Fine, fine, I'm leaving." She then abandoned the table and walked away. "Hey! What are you doing? Calm down." I reached out and pulled her away. "Let go of me!" Liang Yuzhen shook off her hand. I held on tightly, but before I could speak, Liang Yuzhen turned around and roared, "Let go!" Seeing her heavily misted eyes and the tears streaming down her face, I couldn't bear it and didn't want to go against her wishes, so I gently let go. Thinking it would be good for them to calm down for a while, in this situation, no matter what happened, it was impossible to talk; otherwise, it would only make things worse. Watching Liang Yuzhen run back to her room, I sat back down on the stool, annoyed, and said to Huo Lixiang, " What are ? What are you trying to do? Didn't I tell you before we came back not to provoke her? If I had known you would act like this, I wouldn't have dragged you back." I felt like I had done something wrong with good intentions. If I hadn't stirred things up, the two of them might still be at peace. After saying that, he picked up his wine glass and drank it down in frustration. "This has nothing to do with you, it's between her and me." Whether he was pressured by me or just feeling resentful, Huo Lixiang muttered. But to me, it didn't sound like that at all. Thinking that Liang Yuzhen was nearby, I lowered my voice and said, "What do you mean by that? Who asked me to follow her? Who asked me to investigate? If it weren't for my wife, if it weren't for this relationship with you, do you think I would want to be caught in the middle and put in all this effort for nothing?" It seemed that Huo Lixiang had really gone down a dead end. I felt a little helpless, knowing that he was also upset and probably wouldn't listen to anything I said, so I simply ignored him, otherwise I would only end up getting angry myself. Just then, Liang Yuzhen changed her clothes, picked up a small bag, and stormed out, slamming the keys on the table and saying, "Your house is back!" After saying that, she ignored Huo Lixiang and walked straight out the door. As Liang Yuzhen left, I could see the reluctance in Huo Lixiang's eyes. I hoped and encouraged him to say her to stay. But even as Liang Yuzhen stepped out the door, he held back his words. "Damn it, what's going on?" I couldn't help but curse, abandoning Huo Lixiang and getting up to chase after Liang Yuzhen . Because in my opinion, Liang Yuzhen needed comfort more than Huo Lixiang. When I reached the door, Liang Yuzhen was already gone. I ran downstairs and finally saw her under the streetlight, wiping away tears, rushing away. I called out as I chased, "Liang Yuzhen!" Hearing my call, Liang Yuzhen didn't stop; instead, she ran even faster. Wearing high heels, she couldn't outrun me and I grabbed her hand at the roadside. "Let go of me!" Liang Yuzhen struggled fiercely. "Wait a minute, let me say a few words," I held her hand tightly. "Let go of me!" Liang Yuzhen screamed hysterically. Tears streamed down her face, a heartbreaking sight. This time, I didn't let go. Sensing Liang Yuzhen was losing her temper, I said in a louder, more serious voice, "Calm down." Whether stunned by my appearance or frightened by my voice, Liang Yuzhen stared at me with red eyes, ceasing her struggles, though large tears still rolled down her cheeks. We stared at each other for a few seconds. I softened, pulling out a tissue and handing it to her, saying, "Wipe your tears." It was still dark, and there were still many pedestrians on the street. Luckily, this was at the entrance of the residential area; if this had happened on the main street , we might have been surrounded by onlookers. However, Liang Yuzhen didn't take it, stubbornly turning her head away, sobbing uncontrollably. I forcefully pressed the tissue into her hand. Things had already progressed this far; it was impossible to let her go back now. Not to mention Huo Lixiang, even Liang Yuzhen herself couldn't get over it. "Where are you going now?" I asked with concern. "It's none of your business. You two conspired to come back together to spite me and drive me away. Now you've got what you wanted. I don't believe I can't live without you men!" Liang Yuzhen turned her head to the side. "You..." I almost swore again, barely managing to hold back, but I couldn't help myself. I cursed, "Damn it, they're all the same." I patiently explained, "We need to make things clear. I kindly brought him back so you could have a proper talk, lay everything out on the table, and hopefully get back together. Who knew it would turn out like this! This situation has nothing to do with me." Liang Yuzhen's eyes were red as she glanced at me without saying a word. "Besides, I'm the only one here now. If I don't care, who will?" I lowered my voice and spoke kindly. Seemingly moved by my words, Liang Yuzhen sobbed, her complexion improving slightly. "How about this, I have a spare room at my house. Stay at my place for a couple of days. Tomorrow I'll find Huo Lixiang and have a good talk with her, making her come and apologize to you right away," I advised. "It's not worth it, apologizing now is useless." Mentioning Huo Lixiang, Liang Yuzhen immediately turned hostile. "Yes, yes, I know, he made a big mistake this time." Wanting to slap myself, I immediately changed sides, standing beside Liang Yuzhen. Seeing her expression soften, I pressed on, "But we're worried about you staying out! There are so many bad people out there, what if you run into one? Don't you think so?" Liang Yuzhen remained silent. I pulled my wife aside, saying, "I'm busy with company matters now, and Yunjuan is bored at home. You going there will keep her company." Knowing I was trying to persuade her, perhaps moved by my attitude, Liang Yuzhen pouted and became less resistant. I seized the opportunity to pull her along, saying, "Let's go! Let's go! My car is parked inside, we need to hurry, otherwise it'll be troublesome if we close the door later."

Liang Yuzhen, after much hesitation, finally agreed to come with me. I breathed a sigh of relief. Things had developed this way; taking
Liang Yuzhen home would allow my wife to keep her company, hoping to calm her emotions and also keep track of their activities
. Besides, she and my wife had a good relationship, and the two women could easily talk to each other.

There were still many things I couldn't understand! I could only pin my hopes on my wife, hoping she could get some information
out of .

"He's dissatisfied, but I'm dissatisfied too! Over the years, I've taken care of everything, big and small. As a
man, he should be in charge and let him count what he's done!" Once in the car, Liang Yuzhen was
still unable to accept the situation and tearfully complained to me.

It's true, no one can easily appease a woman who has been kicked out of her home. I could only comfort her,
"Yes, yes, calm down first. He was just saying that in a fit of anger."

"Say that in a fit of anger? If he could say something like that in a fit of anger, I think he's been planning this for a long time! He just wants to
get rid of me. Fine, I'll leave and never come back." Liang Yuzhen said ,

her voice trembling with tears. "Hey, you can't say things like that. At this time, you can't let things get heated, otherwise, in the end, no one
will be able to back down . You're both so angry, just calm down. He's probably sitting at home regretting it right now!" I said, half-
admonishingly, half-comfortingly.

"Serves him right, he'll regret it to death!" Liang Yuzhen pulled out a tissue from the car and wiped her tears.

...

Chapter 465 Liang Yuzhen's Outburst 2

"Yes, yes, let him regret it to death." I nodded in agreement, feeling depressed.

Liang Yuzhen was amused by my words, wiping her tears and glaring at me coquettishly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, it'll be alright soon!" I said, comforting her as I drove.

"Hmph, this time it won't be so easy. If he doesn't explain things to me properly, I'll never go back to
that ," Liang Yuzhen said bitterly.

I didn't want to add fuel to the fire, nor did I want to try to persuade them further. They were both angry and wouldn't listen to anything I said. I decided
to let her and Huo Lixiang calm down first. Once they both missed each other, things would be easier to handle.

I drove back to the apartment complex, and as I got out, I deliberately said, "Wipe your tears clean. Don't
cry

when you come in, or Yunjuan will think I bullied you." "Get lost! If you dare bully me, I'll cripple you!" Liang Yuzhen glared at me angrily.

"Fine, fine," I surrendered. This woman was really something; she had other men completely under her thumb, but she
was helpless against Huo Lixiang. Was it because of love?

I led Liang Yuzhen inside. My wife greeted me happily. It was her first time at home, and Liang Yuzhen was
a little shy behind me. I stood by the door and called out, "Come in!"

My wife looked towards the door in confusion, and when she saw Liang Yuzhen, she was surprised for a couple of seconds. But she quickly snapped out of it, ignoring me
completely , and rushed over with a smile, taking my hand and exclaiming with delight, "Sister Yuzhen, what brings you here?"

I was a little annoyed; why was she so excited, even happier than if she'd just seen me? Liang Yuzhen opened her mouth, unsure
what to say. I explained, "Huo Lixiang's been busy at work these past few days, so he moved to the office. She's bored at home alone,
and I was busy with company matters, so I asked her to come over and keep you company."

"Oh! My husband is so good to me!" My wife believed me, hugged me, kissed me, and said excitedly.

Liang Yuzhen glanced at me gratefully. She was exhausted today; so much had happened, and she hadn't had a chance to properly process it all,
so she didn't want to be polite. I changed my shoes and went inside, saying, "Is dinner ready? I'm starving!"

"Yeah, I made it a while ago, waiting for you. You haven't been back for ages, and you haven't even called," my wife said, pulling Liang Yuzhen
into the house and nagging me.

Honestly, she forgets her husband as soon as she has her best friend. I felt like an abandoned wife, and I made up an excuse, saying, "I went to pick her
up, and I was delayed on the way." Hearing

this, my wife immediately stopped pursuing the matter, found Liang Yuzhen a pair of slippers, and pulled her inside. She showered her with concern, asking about her well-being. It was almost unsettling to watch; it hadn't been that long since we last met, but they were acting like sisters. Out of sight, out of mind, I went to the table , lifted the lid of a plate, and exclaimed happily, "Wow, taro steamed pork..." "What are you doing? Everyone else hasn't even sat down to eat yet!" my wife called from the sofa. I pretended not to hear and couldn't resist grabbing a bite. "Did you wash your hands?" my wife continued. "Mmm, delicious!" I ignored her. "Go wash your hands, we have guests, can't you be a little more refined?" my wife said disapprovingly. "What's there to be afraid of? They're not strangers." I acted as if she was making a fuss. This woman, she's always so nice to me when no one else is , but as soon as a stranger arrives, she starts lecturing me. "Don't worry about me," Liang Yuzhen laughed on the sofa. "See, I told you so!" I seized the opportunity to back down, giving Liang Yuzhen a grateful look. "Sister Yuzhen, we can't spoil him, or he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles in no time," my wife said, annoyed that Liang Yuzhen was on my side. "There aren't any tiles on the roof anyway," I retorted deliberately. Liang Yuzhen couldn't help but laugh, while my wife blushed and said, "You still dare to say that." "Fine, I'll go wash my hands. Hurry up and get the food ready, I'm really hungry." Not wanting to start a real fight, I compromised. "Hmph!" My wife glared at me angrily. "Alright! Alright! Let's eat! I'm hungry too," Liang Yuzhen said, pulling my wife aside to smooth things over. My wife glanced at Liang Yuzhen and could only fall silent. That was the effect I wanted—to create a small conflict, get Liang Yuzhen to mediate, distract her, and prevent her from constantly thinking about Huo Lixiang and looking worried. Perhaps my tactics worked, or perhaps it was because my wife was there, or perhaps Liang Yuzhen pretended nothing was wrong, but the meal went smoothly, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious. The only one feeling truly miserable was me. The two women chatted animatedly, leaving me feeling neglected. And that wasn't all; my wife kept piling food onto Liang Yuzhen's plate. My favorite dish was taro and steamed pork, but before I'd even eaten two , she'd already put it all into Liang Yuzhen's bowl. I was practically in tears! Seeing my pitiful state, gazing at the food and swallowing hard, Liang Yuzhen smiled wryly and took a few more dishes back. After the meal, the two women went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while I watched TV on the sofa. They seemed to be getting along very well, chattering away incessantly. As the saying goes, three women make a drama; if two women are like this, I didn't even want to think about another one. I was initially just a little speechless, but when they came out, the real disaster began. My wife unceremoniously snatched the remote from my hand and switched to their favorite melodramatic palace drama. They wouldn't sit next to me, they squeezed me onto the sofa.

I was holding Liang Yuzhen close. Before, when we watched TV, she would lie at my feet, nestled in my arms. Now, it felt
a just hugged a pillow.

That was fine, but then, when the concubines on TV were being persecuted, both women were crying their eyes out.
I shook my head inwardly. Now, someone was crying with them. One's eyes would redden, and the other would soon be in tears;
one's tears would make the other cry even harder—it was a chain reaction.

I was dumbfounded. I could understand Liang Yuzhen crying; perhaps she was moved by the scene and wanted to have
a good cry. But why was my wife joining in? And she cried even harder than Liang Yuzhen, her eyes red and
swollen. A box of tissues was quickly emptied by the two women.

I wanted to bang my head against the wall. No wonder they still make those overused palace dramas; today I finally understood—these
women are forever immune to this.

When the drama ended, the two women had cried their eyes out and were exhausted. They tidied up and prepared for bed. A serious
problem arose: my wife wanted to send me to the guest room, saying she wanted to sleep in the bedroom with Liang Yuzhen.

Hearing this suggestion, I wanted to curse. Was she really my wife, or someone else's? She was actually going
to sleep with someone else! Thank goodness she was a woman. But even a woman was unacceptable; I was used to sleeping with her,
how could I sleep ? Before I could protest, my wife rejected my decision, completely ignoring my feelings,
and dragged Liang Yuzhen back to the bedroom.

I was left alone in the living room, completely bewildered, wanting to shout, "What's going on?"
Looking at Liang Yuzhen's apologetic face, I finally decided to let it go. It was just one night; I could bear it.

That night in the guest room, I had a bit of insomnia. My mind kept wandering between Liang Yuzhen and Huo Lixiang's affair,
and between whether my wife and Liang Yuzhen were asleep in our bed, or what they were doing. The thought of Liang Yuzhen sleeping in
my room made me a little uneasy, yet also stirred a strange passion within me.

I drifted off to sleep, not knowing when. That night I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I came home
from work and saw Liang Yuzhen and my wife sleeping naked in bed. My mind went blank.
I was saying something to my wife, but she seemed not to hear me. She was embracing Liang Yuzhen, laughing at me.

I woke up with a start, realizing it was a dream. The blinding sunlight streamed in through the window, making it hard to open my eyes.

When my eyes adjusted, I turned around and saw my wife and Liang Yuzhen standing by the window, looking at me with curiosity. I gasped
, almost scared out of my wits.

"What's wrong with you?" My wife stared at me blankly.

"What are you doing here?" I didn't answer, but asked them instead, facing their blank looks.

"We called you to eat breakfast. You're almost late for work, why aren't you up? Were you dreaming? Why were you yelling like that
?" My wife said, not forgetting what had just happened, and asked suspiciously.

"Did I yell?" My heart skipped a beat, but I pretended not to know.

My wife turned and glanced at Liang Yuzhen. Both women nodded simultaneously, saying, "We came over when we heard you scream.
What happened?"

"Uh! Nothing, I dreamt I was possessed by a ghost." I was a little annoyed

, but couldn't deny it, so I made up a story. "Male or female ghost?" My wife asked, a little scared.

Hearing this question, I felt a bit annoyed. What kind of time is this to care about male or female ghosts? Seeing the two of them standing
together , and thinking about the dream I just had, I felt a little jealous for some reason. I said impatiently, "
What do I know? I was scared awake before I could even see their faces."

"It was just a question! Why are you being so fierce! If you don't want to tell me, fine, really." My wife said discontentedly, pulling
Liang Yuzhen along, "Come on, Sister Yuzhen, let's go out to eat and ignore him."

Liang Yuzhen turned back to look at me and gave a wry smile.

I let out a long sigh, feeling a bit annoyed, unable to understand why I had such a strange dream. And I didn't understand why
I suddenly got angry. I grabbed my hair and ran it around a few times, telling myself that it was because I was alone last night, I felt empty, and
my overthinking led to this strange dream.

I shook my head to forget the dream, along with everything that had just happened, got dressed, and went out. The two women had
almost finished breakfast.

"Come and eat quickly, the porridge is getting cold," Liang Yuzhen called out.

My wife glanced at me, pouting, and didn't say anything.

...

Chapter 466 We Meet Again 1

Feeling a little guilty, I said ingratiatingly, "Wait for me, I'll eat with you and then take you to work!"

"Really?" My wife glanced at me sideways.

"Don't you have to go to work?" Liang Yuzhen continued.

"It's okay, no one will say if I'm a little late," I said indifferently.

Liang Yuzhen shrugged and didn't say anything more. My wife smiled contentedly, "That's more like it."

Somewhat helplessly, after breakfast, I took the two women to work, and by the time I got back to the company, it was almost 10:30. Luckily, no one was bothering me now
, or I would have been in big trouble.

Now that the company is on track, they're handling most things, so I don't have much to do. Occasionally, I sign documents Luo Xiu
brings , listen to Sun Xueyong's reports, and check on the staff.

Sitting in my office, thinking about Huo Lixiang and Liang Yuzhen's situation, I realized this couldn't drag on. I took out my phone and
called Huo Lixiang, wanting to arrange a meeting, but he hung up on me. I called twice, and his phone was switched off.

I was stunned, and even I got angry; he really is stubborn.

Feeling helpless, I could only wait for them to calm down before speaking. I sent a text message saying Liang Yuzhen was at
my house with his wife, and that he shouldn't worry, but I still didn't receive a reply. Focusing on my work, near the end of the day,
the phone rang. I was initially excited, thinking Huo Lixiang had finally come to his senses, but it was Liao Yunsong's
number. I guessed he might have some information about the investigation into that "get-rich-quick" scheme.

I answered, and sure enough, it was about that matter. Liao Yunsong's tone was much more relaxed than before. He arranged a place for me
to meet and discuss it in detail. I drove over immediately. Liang Yuzhen's matter was important, and the company's affairs couldn't be neglected either. Although
the lines hadn't malfunctioned these past two days, there was no guarantee that those people wouldn't reappear at any time. If it wasn't resolved thoroughly,
it would never end; resolving it sooner was naturally better.

I don't know what Liao Yunsong was thinking, but this time he didn't arrange to meet at a restaurant, instead choosing his filthy "studio
." After all this time, the only change around here was that it was even older and messier.

Entering, Liao Yunsong was lighting a cigarette, his feet propped up on the table, looking like an old man.

Liao Yunsong's feet were incredibly powerful; I hadn't realized it until I saw them before. Walking into the room, the whole place was filled with that...
The smell almost made me vomit. Not wanting to linger, I rubbed my neck and cut to the chase, "Any
news?"

"Hehe, with this 'All-Seeing Eye' on the table, what can't be done!" Liao Yunsong remarked, picking up his foot
from the table with a smug grin.

"All-Seeing Eye? Who gave you that name? You're just a mole at best," I said disdainfully.

"Hey, don't underestimate me. This is a nickname from my friends in the underworld; that's what they all call me,"
Liao Yunsong chuckled, pulling a paper bag from a drawer and tossing it onto the table.

I took the bag, pulled it out, and found it full of photos. The first few were taken at a hot pot restaurant, a large
group of people gathered around, enjoying hot pot, some standing up to toast. I immediately recognized many of them: the crew-cut
"Cashback ," and those young men—many of the people I extorted on the bus later were among them.

But the most striking figure on the table was that familiar one, dressed fashionably. Surrounded by several
people offering toasts, he smiled smugly. It was none other than Tang Jun. I chuckled inwardly, thinking, "This kid's living the high life!" There were many more photos
later , showing him going to saunas and brothels. There were quite a few people in the group, more than ten.
It must have cost a fortune. He's really going all out to deal with me.

"So, did I make the right choice?" Liao Yunsong said with a grin.

I looked away and saw him with his legs bent on the chair, rubbing his fingers together.
Not to mention the dark mass, the smell instantly filled me with nausea. Damn, thank goodness I hadn't eaten lunch,
or I would have thrown it all up.

I said irritably, "Could you please put your feet away? We're talking business."

"Hehe, we're already so familiar, why be so formal!" Liao Yunsong brought his rubbing hands to his nose
and smelled them.

My heart churned, and I felt something rising in my throat. I struggled to hold it in, staring at Liao Yunsong
without saying a word.

"Okay, okay, put it away, put it away." Liao Yunsong compromised under my gaze.

Somewhat helpless, if it weren't for something else, I really wouldn't want to deal with this guy
. Being slovenly was one thing, but why did he have to come out and disgust people? I shifted my attention, took out a photo, and asked, "
Where ?"

"He doesn't know. We agreed to follow Fa Cai, and I ran into him by chance while following Fa Cai's group,
" Liao Yunsong explained.

My excitement was short-lived, but it was still progress. A question lingered in my mind, so I asked, "
Are ?"

Liao Yunsong glanced at me and sneered, "Familiar? Not really. The city is so small; everyone's out
there making a living, I know them all."

"How's he doing?" I asked directly.

"He's doing fine, but the people behind him are troublesome," Liao Yunsong
said bluntly. Then, as if by magic, he pulled a sausage from a drawer.

"What do you mean?" I asked, watching him peel the ham, my stomach churning again
. Hadn't that hand just poked my foot?

"I don't need to explain, you understand." Liao Yunsong seemed used to it, showing no discomfort whatsoever, peeling it and chewing it
in large mouthfuls . Seeing me staring at him intently, he grinned and pulled another sausage from the drawer,
handing it to me.

I waved it away immediately. Damn, even if I didn't like it, who could eat my favorite food after seeing that scene and then
having it handed to me by him? Getting back to the point, "So how did he end up with Tang Jun?"

"You're lucky. I subtly inquired with people around Fa Cai. It was that Tang Jun
who asked Fa Cai for help. It has nothing to do with the people behind him," Liao Yunsong said with a smile.

No wonder Liao Yunsong was a little nervous when he heard about Fa Cai, but relaxed today. It seems he's also wary of the people
behind . Although I don't know who's behind Fa Cai, judging from his demeanor, he wouldn't say anything even if I asked
. It's best to avoid getting into serious trouble. In business, when you encounter someone like this, the best
approach, if absolutely necessary, is to minimize the problem and let it go.

"Do you have a way to handle this Fa Cai?" I asked, seeing Liao Yunsong's confident expression.

"Didn't I say last time that if no one else is involved, this is easy to resolve?" Liao Yunsong said smugly,
then casually added, "But they're all just trying to make a living. It's hard to say I can handle it. It seems they've only known each other for a short time; they're all just
out there, after all, after money. There's a saying, 'Money makes the world go round.' As long as you give them some money to smooth things over, and have
a bit goodwill, it won't be a big deal."

"About how much?" Including the previous times, I'd already been ripped off for over ten thousand. Although I was a little annoyed,
I still tentatively asked.

"At least that much," Liao Yunsong said, holding up three fingers.

"Do you think I run a bank?!" I retorted.

"Hey, you can't say that. You're in business to make money, and we're in it for the money too. You have your
rules, and we have ours! This money isn't just to pay them off; we can't go home empty-handed after working for nothing, can we
?" Liao Yunsong said with a grin.

Seeing that smiling face, I felt cheated. I held up two fingers and said, "That's all, no more
." Seeing Liao Yunsong hesitate, I said with dissatisfaction, "They've already taken quite a bit from me the last few times
. It's already good enough that I haven't held them accountable. If this matter can't be settled, I just need to make a phone call to the police, and
they'll all be caught in no time."

"That's true, but you're making things bigger by doing this." Liao Yunsong threw down the ham wrapper in his hand and said,
"They can't bother you for now, but will the people who come after them let it go? Will your company still be able to operate smoothly?

Not to mention they'll be released soon and come looking for revenge, then things will be even harder to cover up." "

So, according to you, I not only have to give them the money, but I also have to give it with a clear conscience and a good feeling?" I
said unhappily.

"Hehe, it's not that I can't use force, but you need to find someone even tougher to keep things under control.
As long as you can find someone, call Fa Cai over, and a cup of tea will be enough to settle things." Liao Yunsong nodded.

Chapter 467 We Met Again 2

I understood what Liao Yunsong was saying, but understanding didn't stop me from feeling uneasy!

Seeing my hesitation, Liao Yunsong added, "But don't you think about it? Going to others without giving gifts... There's a saying
, 'It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings,' but even the King of Hell in a big temple is hard to please."

"They only have 20,000. They've already gotten a lot from me. If this works out, great; if not, I'll find another way. "
"Law." I insisted.

Liao Yunsong stared at me for two seconds, then nodded with a bitter face. "Fine, fine, you're so stubborn.
I'll do you a favor and talk to them properly later."

"But there's a condition," I added.

"What condition?" Liao Yunsong asked.

"Help me get Tang Jun here. I have some questions for him." I chuckled. This matter had kept me
up at night and caused such a huge loss, so naturally I had to settle accounts with that bastard and clarify some things.

"Okay, no problem." Liao Yunsong thought for a moment and readily agreed.

"Here's ten thousand! I'll give you another ten thousand when it's done." I hadn't expected it to cost so much money;
I hadn't brought enough. I handed the money to Liao Yunsong.

"Don't you trust me? But it's alright. As long as you pay, I have all the connections. You can rest assured."
Liao Yunsong grinned as he put the money away, looking like he was seeing his own father.

"Wait for your news." I didn't want to leave here. I turned and left.

"No problem, it'll be resolved quickly," Liao Yunsong replied with a smile.

Leaving Liao Yunsong's place, I felt a bit irritated. The company's current size was neither high nor low;
all sorts of small fry dared to mess with it, and frustratingly, I could only offer them sycophantic treatment. It seemed nothing else mattered but
developing the company as quickly as possible, making myself powerful enough that no one would dare to touch me then.

Although I'd spent money, Liao Yunsong was quite efficient. He called in the afternoon, told
me to bring the money at 8 PM, gave me an address, and then hung up. While I disliked his constant talk about money,
I still didn't understand where all his earnings went. He was frugal with food and clothing,
and even his living quarters were a mess.

But that wasn't my concern. I started thinking about how to teach Tang Jun a lesson tonight, to teach him a lesson so
he wouldn't keep bothering me and cause endless trouble. I wasn't afraid of open conflict; I was afraid of these kinds of petty people constantly
stabbing me in the back, making it impossible to defend myself.

At the appointed time, I set off promptly. Arriving at the place I'd agreed upon with Liao Yunsong, I found it in a rather secluded spot. Parking the car on
the side of road, it looked from a distance like a small restaurant serving drinks and spicy hot pot. I wondered why he'd called me there, but
I still didn't think he'd lie to me.

I called Liao Yunsong, and he told me to wait. A few minutes later, a car's headlights flashed on the street
. I recognized it as the minivan and pulled over. Liao Yunsong beckoned me to get in. A little suspicious, I complied.

Opening the door, I was startled to see four men already inside. The young man was there too, sitting in the passenger seat,
grinning and greeting me.

"What are you doing standing outside? Get in!" Liao Yunsong called out.

"What are you doing here?" I asked slowly, getting into the car, puzzled. A chill ran down my spine.
Was trying to rob me because he knew I had money?

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough," Liao Yunsong said, turning his gaze back to the street ahead.

After ten minutes in the car, with no air conditioning and six men crammed into a small van, the smell
was unbearable . Whether it was the car or the people, the stench was overwhelming. Just as I was about to give up and suggest getting out for some fresh air,
the young man in the passenger seat called out, "They're here."

I was puzzled and peeked through the gap in the seat. Eight or nine men were walking towards us, laughing
and joking . I quickly spotted Tang Jun in the crowd, along with Fa Cai and a few others I vaguely
recognized.

"What do we do?" I asked, confused. There were only six of us in the car, but nine on the other side. Were they planning to
just rush in, subdue such a large group, and kidnap Tang Jun?

"Don't be nervous, wait for my signal," Liao Yunsong said with a grin, seemingly used to this kind of situation.

Although I didn't know what Liao Yunsong was up to, I could only trust him for now. The group went straight into
the small shop and sat down inside. Looking out from my vantage point, I could see a group of people leering, some making
S-shaped gestures, clearly talking about women.

After three minutes, a man came out of the shop and coughed twice at the car. Liao Yunsong opened
the car door and said, "Let's go."

The young man and the four men jumped out of the car in a swarm, and I had no choice but to follow. Liao Yunsong
led the way , walking straight to the shop entrance. I walked in the middle, and seeing the large table of people inside, I felt a little uneasy.

There were six of us, quite a few. As we entered the shop, I glanced at the people opposite us, who were also watching us.

I immediately spotted Tang Jun at the table, the bastard still sitting in the middle. He also saw me in the crowd, his eyes
widening in surprise, but quickly a smile spread across his face, as if he had just thought of something and was very happy.

...

Chapter 468 We Met Again 3

As soon as I entered the store, before I could even speak, Tang Jun stood up and laughed, "Oh, isn't this General Manager Xu? Long time no see!
What a coincidence! How did we run into each other here?" His enthusiasm made him seem like an old friend I hadn't seen in ages.

Still a bit confused, and with Liao Yunsong not explaining what was going on, I smiled faintly and didn't
reply .

"How's it going, General Manager Xu? How's the company been lately?" Tang Jun picked up his wine glass and
walked .

"Thank you for your help, it's been great!" I said casually.

"Really? I've heard there's been quite a bit going on." Tang Jun said, feigning concern.

"They're all just minor issues, they'll be fine in a few days." Thinking that Tang Jun was behind everything, I felt a growing unease
at his current smugness.

"That's hard to say. There are no small matters in a company. If not handled properly, they might slowly escalate into major problems." Tang Jun
said, half-warning, half-threatening.

"What big problems could a small company have? Even if there are, I can handle it. Don't bother me." I said to Tang Jun, looking at
him defiantly.

"Haha! President Xu is indeed President Xu, you have guts." Tang Jun took a sip of his drink, glanced back at
his colleagues at the table with a smile, then changed the subject, saying earnestly, "However, having confidence is a good thing, but some things
can't be solved just by having confidence."

"Of course I understand that, that's why I came to find you today." I took the initiative to approach him.

"Find me? What do you want with me?" Tang Jun didn't shy away at all, even feigning confusion.

"Some things are better left unsaid!" I smiled at Tang Jun.

"Hehe, I do want to help. After all, I've worked at that company for so long,
watching , I have an emotional attachment to it!" Tang Jun pretended to be a good guy, then smiled again, "However, you today..."
"You've come to the wrong person."

"Really? Then who should I look for?" He liked to pretend, and I played along.

Tang Jun probably realized I knew his background, and gestured to Fa Cai at the table, "Look for him!" Before I could speak, he
picked up a wine glass and handed it to me, saying, "I know I'm nothing in your eyes, but no matter what, we're
colleagues. Come on, let me toast you."

He was stabbing me in the back, and now he was pretending to be very friendly. I didn't know if Tang Jun was fearless or deliberately mocking
me and testing me. With so many people watching, the situation didn't allow me to back down. I stared at Tang Jun for two seconds,
took the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Haha, good, President Xu is indeed a straightforward person." Tang Jun smiled and tilted his glass,
slowly pouring the wine from his glass onto the glass he was handed over.

I smiled at the wine on the ground, and before I could speak, Liao Yunsong jumped out from the side and said, "Hey,
where did you come from? You don't know the rules."

"Rules? What rules?" Tang Jun's eyes widened, and he chuckled.

Faced with Tang Jun's dismissive attitude, Liao Yunsong wasn't so easygoing. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, saying, "I'll teach you a lesson
right now ."

"Hey, Liao Laosong, what are you doing?" Fa Cai, who had been silent at the table, finally couldn't sit still any longer and
stood up to stop him. As soon as he stood up, the others followed suit.

The young man, along with the four men Liao Yunsong had brought, also crowded around. Liao Yunsong reached out to stop them, laughing, "I'm helping you
teach this unruly kid a lesson!"

"He's my friend, not one of us. Don't try to scare him with these kinds of rules," Fa Cai
said impatiently.

"It's a matter of courtesy. If the person being toasted doesn't drink, it's
disrespectful and ungrateful. Our people drink, so they've accepted the courtesy . This kid is ruining my friend's face; he's not giving anyone face." Liao Yunsong finished speaking, then objected,
"Sitting at this table means you're on the same boat. To say you're not part of the underworld is a stretch."

"He's a friend I invited onto this boat; he can disembark anywhere," Fa Cai retorted, refusing to back down.

"So, you're going to protect this kid today?" Liao Yunsong asked, staring intently.

"Friends in the underworld know that I, Fa Cai, value loyalty and righteousness, sharing both good and bad times.
How could I possibly stand idly by at a time like this?" Fa Cai insisted, confident in his superior numbers.

"We're all on the same road, we'll run into each other again soon, why ruin our relationship over a rude kid
?" Liao Yunsong reassured them with a faint smile, then added, "You saw it today, he was the one who was disrespectful first. If
this gets out, nobody will know who he is, and you'll lose face!"

Seemingly touched on a sore spot, for people like them, face is sometimes more important than anything else, Fa Cai
glared fiercely at Tang Jun. Tang Jun seemed to only now realize that things here weren't as
simple .

Fa Cai looked away and continued, "While that's true, I won't abandon my friends for the sake of face
. Otherwise, if word gets out, all my friends will despise me, and who will dare to be my friend in the future? It won't just be
a matter of losing face."

"Is that so? If your superiors find out you took on extra work and stood up for others, do you think it's worth it for a little
something extra ?" Liao Yunsong asked, surveying the crowd around the table.

Hearing this, many people's expressions changed. Fa Cai hurriedly said, "You..."

Liao Yunsong smiled and continued, "This kid doesn't understand anything. He was never the kind of friend we'd have. Why make
a scene and ruin our harmony for him?"

Fa Cai knew that Liao Yunsong had found his weakness. Now he either had to avoid the situation for the time being or get into a conflict. Just as he was
considering and hesitating, the man who had coughed outside the shop to report the news came out and whispered, "Brother Fa Cai,
you need to think this through. We can ignore what people say outside, but if things get out of hand and the higher-ups find out, it will be very
troublesome ."

Fa Cai looked at the man, even more conflicted. Liao Yunsong pressed on, "If you weren't there,
wouldn't have nothing to say?"

Hearing this, Fa Cai's expression changed, and he wavered slightly.

Tang Jun cried out in a panic, "Hey, Brother Fa Cai, you can't listen to them! You can't leave me behind! Otherwise
..."

Liao Yunsong pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, threw it on the table, and interrupted Tang Jun, saying, "This is a small gift. Take
the brothers for a cup of tea. If you're not here, this matter won't get out, and no one will know."

Tang Jun pleaded, "Brother Fa Cai! You said you'd share the good times and the bad, you can't
leave ..."

Some people in the underworld value loyalty, but not everyone does. Most people prioritize profit and know how to make choices.
Fa Cai ignored Tang Jun's cries and turned to look at the people around him. After all, no matter how much Tang Jun treated them, he
was just a friend, not someone they knew. Whether out of politeness or pressure from above,
everyone remained silent.

Looking around, Fa Cai understood everyone's decision. He gestured for someone to pick up the money on the table and said, "Fine, I
admit defeat today." Without even glancing at Tang Jun, he led his men out of the shop.

That's how the world is sometimes; there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.
There are plenty of people who stab you in the back and expose your dirty laundry. Between two evils, choose the lesser!

Seeing the situation was turning against him, Tang Jun yelled and tried to escape by sticking close to Fa Cai. But they were there to find
him, and naturally wouldn't let him have his way. Before Liao Yunsong could give the order, two men behind him grabbed Tang Jun and pulled him
down.

"Let me go! What are you doing?" Tang Jun struggled, but he was used to a good life and couldn't fight
back . Last time he went to see Liao Yunsong, it took five or six men to hold him down.

Unable to break free, Tang Jun shouted towards the door, "Brother Fa Cai! Brother Fa Cai! Save me! Didn't
we agree to share the hardships? You can't leave me to them!"

Fa Cai and his group didn't hesitate and walked straight out of the shop. Whether he was stunned, blinded by rage,
or genuinely angry, Tang Jun suddenly cursed, "You son of a bitch, Fa Cai! When there's money, you're a friend,
a brother! Now that there's trouble, you're a coward, running away!"

While his words held some truth, some people, sometimes, are unreasonable, especially the one being cursed. Not only
Liao Yunsong frowned, but I also secretly thought I was in for trouble. Sure enough, Fa Cai, who had already walked out the door, suddenly turned around.
One of them rushed forward and delivered a flying kick to the restrained Tang Jun, cursing, "You son of a bitch, cursing like that!"

Chapter 469 Meeting Again 4

Caught off guard and unable to dodge, Tang Jun was kicked back several steps, only stopping when he crashed into the table,
spilling a considerable amount of red oil from the soup pot.

Liao Yunsong and the others seemed unfazed, while I was somewhat startled, not expecting
such a sudden attack. Judging from Tang Jun's clutching his stomach and coughing incessantly, the kick was quite severe.

"Say another word and I'll hear you," the man in the floral shirt who had kicked Tang Jun said, glaring at him menacingly.

Having learned his lesson, Tang Jun clutched his stomach, not daring to utter another word.

"Damn, he won't behave unless you hit him," the man in the floral shirt muttered disdainfully after a few seconds when Tang Jun remained silent.

"Enough, let's go!" Fa Cai, seemingly frustrated, called out. He then led his men
away .

Soon, the shop was empty except for me, Liao Yunsong and his group, and Tang Jun.

"Let's go!" With the matter settled, Liao Yunsong returned to his usual playful self, grinning.

"Where to?" Tang Jun stood rooted to the spot, refusing to move.

"Enough with the nonsense. We'll take you when we tell you to. Do you expect us to invite you?" the young man said menacingly.

Although Tang Jun was a few years older than the young man, he didn't dare ask any more questions and followed us out of
the shop . Back at the car, thinking we were going to take him somewhere and do something to him, he stubbornly refused to get in.

"Stop dawdling. We'll ask you some questions later. If you tell us everything, we'll let you off today. If you
try to fool us, that kick was just the first bite," Liao Yunsong said with a dark face.

Knowing he couldn't escape and that resisting would only make him suffer, Tang Jun hesitated for a moment before reluctantly getting into the car.

Tang Jun sat in the back, with two men holding him between them. Liao Yunsong drove, and I sat in the passenger seat.

The car drove towards the outskirts of the city, and after more than ten minutes, we stopped outside an abandoned brick kiln.

Seeing that it was pitch black all around, with hardly anyone around, not even streetlights or passing vehicles, Tang Jun was frightened and
clung to his seat, refusing to get out. The two people in the back seat pulled him down.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he was surrounded by several people. Tang Jun looked around, then, seeing me on the outside by the car headlights, he
immediately ran over and said, "President Xu, please forgive me! This is all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to offend you."

"Weren't you so arrogant just now? How come you've chickened out so quickly?" Seeing Tang Jun's appearance
,

I felt a little uncomfortable, but mostly pleased. "I'm sorry, I was blind and offended you. Please be
magnanimous and let me go." Perhaps genuinely afraid, Tang Jun was completely unlike his usual self.

"Don't say that. Didn't you just say we were colleagues after all?" I retorted,
then patted Tang Jun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Tang Jun smiled gratefully,
and I smiled back, "However, if you don't answer my questions honestly, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

I glanced back at Liao Yunsong and the others. Tang Jun swallowed hard; he had just been taken advantage of, and he still remembered it vividly.

He nodded repeatedly, saying, "As long as I know, I'll tell you everything."

"Alright, you say you're not deliberately trying to go against me? How can I believe you? You're the one who orchestrated this whole thing
." I asked, "Is it because I fired you from the company that you still hold a grudge?"

"That's not my fault. I was unhappy when you fired me, but I never thought of revenge,"

Tang Jun protested.

"Bullshit, what's going on then? They sent people to cause trouble at the company, and I've been running around doing all this, it's
been incredibly stressful." Now, I suddenly felt a strange sense of pleasure, the pleasure of having an enemy submit at my feet.

"This really wasn't my doing, I was just running errands for someone," Tang Jun cried.

My heart skipped a beat. If that were true, it would confirm my initial suspicion, and things would be in trouble. But I
still bluffed, "Still trying to fool me?"

"You little brat, you won't admit it until you're faced with death, will you?" Liao Yunsong understood and immediately surrounded them with his men.

"Big brother, spare me, big brother, spare me! I'm telling the truth, this really wasn't my idea
. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the ability," Tang Jun turned back to Liao Yunsong, begging for mercy.

"Then who are you helping?" It didn't seem like a lie. Although unwilling, the deed was done, and I could only
ask.

"Helping…" Tang Jun said hastily, but swallowed the words back as they left his mouth.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Before I could give any instructions, Liao Yunsong slapped Tang Jun on the back of the head.

"This, this I really dare not say, otherwise I will get into trouble." Tang Jun said with a bitter face.

"Throw him into the cave and seal the exit." Things were already troublesome enough, I didn't have that much patience to
waste with Tang Jun, so I pretended to scare him.

Liao Yunsong gestured, and the men behind him grabbed Tang Jun and dragged him towards the cave without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, you can't do this, you can't do this." Tang Jun was so scared that his face turned pale, and he turned
to me and shouted, "President Xu, spare my life, President Xu." I ignored him and dragged him to the cave entrance. Tang Jun
finally gave in and kept nodding and said, "Wait, wait, I'll talk, I'll talk."

Liao Yunsong smiled and gestured to pull Tang Jun back. His legs were weak with fear, and the two men let go. Tang Jun
sat down on the ground with a thud and took a long time to recover.

"Hurry up and talk." Liao Yunsong threatened.

"I'll tell you, and you'll have to let me go," Tang Jun nodded repeatedly.

"That depends on whether what you say is believable. If you're trying to lie to me, you know what will happen," I
said, glaring at Tang Jun.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Tang Jun repeated, then after a long pause, he finally mustered the courage to say, "It was
people from Guangying Travel Company who made me do it!"

"What?" I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing the answer. I wouldn't have reacted so strongly to anyone else. I had suspected
before was someone from a competitor, and I thought it was
one of those small companies whose business had been stolen. I never expected it to be Guangying, one of the three major travel companies. Our current performance is probably less than a tenth of theirs. I can't
understand why they would cause us trouble.

After thinking it over, I still couldn't believe it. I deliberately stared at Tang Jun and shouted, "You still want to frame someone else?"

"You son of a bitch, you're not going to tell the truth, are you!" Liao Yunsong then kicked Tang Jun in the stomach.

Tang Jun cried out in pain, clutching his stomach and lying on the ground, groaning, "I'm telling the truth, the truth! After
leaving the company, I looked for work everywhere, hoping to try my luck. A few days ago, I applied for a job at Guangying Tourism Company. I
handed in my resume, but perhaps they knew something about me, and it was quickly rejected. I thought it was hopeless, but then
a few days later I got a phone call from someone claiming to be from Guangying Company's HR department, saying I'd been hired, but there were some..."
"Things aren't certain yet; they need to talk to me in person."

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat.

Tang Jun took a few breaths and continued, "At first, I hesitated, but I quickly decided. After all, I was going to join
that big company; the pay must be good, and such opportunities don't come every time, so I went.

The man invited me to a hotel and said he wasn't very satisfied with my resume, which disappointed me.

He then asked me a lot about Chengmeng Company. Although I didn't understand, I told him everything I knew
. He seemed interested in the reforms you made after you fired me."

I was a little annoyed to hear that Tang Jun had leaked company information to people in other companies, but I held back because I
wanted to know what happened next.

Tang Jun, unaware of my thoughts, continued, "However, his attitude changed. He asked how I knew
I wasn't a spy sent by Chengmeng Company. There was no such thing to begin with, so I naturally denied it. Later ..." He said
he wanted me to do this to show my loyalty. I had doubts and was unwilling, plus I didn't have the ability,
so I told him I couldn't do it. He said I didn't need to do it and promised me that if I succeeded, I could not only get a job at the film company but
also receive a considerable sum of money. Hearing this, I didn't refuse. He gave me a phone number and told me
to contact the person on the number. That person introduced me to Fa Cai, and what happened next was a natural progression. "

After saying that, as if afraid I would blame him, Tang Jun continued, "However, all the expenses were paid by that person, and
he was the one controlling things behind the scenes. He contacted me by phone to discuss everything. Apart from that, I really don't
know anything. I'm not deliberately trying to cause trouble for you!"

Chapter 470 Liang Yuzhen's Transformation 1

Tang Jun's account seemed reasonable and didn't appear to be false. I believed he wouldn't dare to lie to me now.
I could only ask, "What does he look like? What's his name?"

"Tall and thin, wears glasses, looks quite refined. I don't know his name, I only heard him say his surname is Qiu,
I usually call him Manager Qiu, Brother Qiu," Tang Jun said, scratching his head in recollection.

"That's all?" I said, dissatisfied. With so little information, where was I supposed to find this person?

"Uh, about 175 cm tall, thick eyebrows, always has a smile on his face when he talks,
a very nice person to be around," Tang Jun immediately added.

"Anything else?" I demanded.

"Hmm, he seems to like wearing suits. I saw him twice, both times in a suit and tie, black leather shoes," Tang Jun
added. "Damn it, couldn't you just tell me everything at once! Why did I have to ask?" I said angrily, raising my hand in dissatisfaction. "I need to think about it slowly!" Tang Jun said, burying his head in his hands in his hands

, feeling aggrieved. After thinking for a moment, I decided to stop. I asked, "What's his phone number?" Tang Jun quickly recited a number to me. After I wrote it down, I asked again, "Is there anything else you haven't said?" "No, really, nothing. I've told you everything I know," Tang Jun kept shaking his head. "If I find out you're hiding anything, you'll be in big trouble next time I find you." Seeing that this guy was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he was pushed to the limit , I threatened him. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Tang Jun said sincerely. My mind was a bit of a mess right now, so I called to Liao Yunsong, "Let's go!" Liao Yunsong gave the others a wink and led them to the car one by one. "Hey, hey, Mr. Xu, don't leave me behind! I've told you everything!" Realizing that things were over, Tang Jun rushed over and shouted through the car window. "What, you still want to get in?" Liao Yunsong started the car and smiled at Tang Jun. Tang Jun swallowed hard, glancing back at the secluded surroundings, before mustering his courage to plead, "But...but you can't leave me here!" "What, you want me to drive you back? You think I'm a personal chauffeur?" Liao Yunsong glared, disdainfully. "It's so remote here, I can't hail a cab!" Tang Jun cried, his face contorted with misery. "None of my business, walk back yourself." Liao Yunsong, having finished his teasing, ignored Tang Jun, turned the steering wheel, and stepped on the gas. "Hey, hey, Mr. Xu, wait!" Feeling the car start moving, Tang Jun ran after it, calling out, but ultimately couldn't keep up and had to give up. On the way back to the city, I kept thinking about this; now it seemed quite troublesome. Tang Jun was combative; if the other party really was that Light and Shadow Tourism Company, we really couldn't compete now, and we dared not move. "Hey, Mr. Xu, we're here!" After some time, Liao Yunsong called out from the side. Coming to my senses, I realized we were back at the small shop in the city. I glanced around and saw the young man and the others had already gotten out of the car and were heading inside. I understood Liao Yunsong's meaning and handed him the remaining money, saying, "Thanks!" "Hehe, no need, it's all business! You pay, I do the work." Liao Yunsong chuckled as he took the money. "What, not going to count it today?" I asked, surprised to see Liao Yunsong put the money directly into his pocket. "No need, we're old friends now, I trust you wouldn't cheat me out of such a small amount." Liao Yunsong smiled and opened the car door. "This isn't a small amount; if someone gave it to me, I'd really like it." I got out of the car, genuinely concerned. "Mr. Xu, you're quite the joker." Liao Yunsong shook his head. "Alright, I'm leaving now." I said goodbye to everyone as I walked into the crowd. "What, not going to have a drink with us?" Liao Yunsong greeted me in surprise. "Not today, I have some things to do. I'll treat everyone to a meal another day when things are cleared up." I smiled and walked towards my car. "That's fine too. Mr. Xu doesn't like the food at these small shops we prefer," Liao Yunsong joked to everyone . "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" I waved goodbye. On the way home, I felt uneasy. I couldn't understand why such a large company like Guangying would target a small company like ours. After thinking it over, we had no past grudges or recent conflicts. If there was any conflict, it could only be related to competing interests—that was the most reasonable explanation. To say that our company posed any threat to Guangying would be giving us too much credit. We knew we didn't have that kind of power yet, and the two companies were far apart, with completely different business volumes. After much thought, there was only one plausible possibility: our recent development had affected their business, so they were resorting to external forces to target us. If Guangying really wanted to sabotage us and bring us down, the coming days would definitely be difficult. The important thing was how to deal with it. I didn't know if they had any other tricks up their sleeve. For now, I could only prepare in advance and adapt to the situation.

Today, I taught Tang Jun a lesson, which also served as a warning to them, hoping they would reconsider their actions. It's not that I don't want revenge,
but my current strength is insufficient to contend with them. I feel somewhat aggrieved, but there's nothing I can
do. I wouldn't call it enduring hardship and biding my time; at most, I'm just enduring it silently. For

now, I'll hide my head like a turtle, waiting for the right moment to bite down and not let go. Back home, I washed away my worries and entered with a cheerful expression. However, I was stunned when I entered.
Liang Yuzhen and his wife were on the sofa, writhing together, laughing happily.
Liang Yuzhen was straddling his wife, tickling her relentlessly. She struggled but couldn't break free.

At home, both of them had changed into revealing clothes. After some tugging, they both showed off quite a bit.
One of Liang Yuzhen's sleeves was pulled down,
exposing . My wife wasn't much better off; her shorts were all pulled up to her thighs, and if you looked closely, you could see the edge of her red underwear
. Her clothes were also bunched up at the waist. The most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly her four long, white legs and her erotic pose.

Liang Yuzhen tried to hold my wife's hands down, but my wife tried to break free. Liang Yuzhen found her weakness, and seeing that she was about to give in,
she reached out and tickled her. My wife immediately went limp and was exhausted from dealing with it. As the two women struggled, her breasts bounced
back and forth . The scene was beautiful, but I couldn't feel happy. The dream I had that morning floated into my mind, and I
sighed, "It can't be this soon, can it?"

My wife and Liang Yuzhen seemed to be engrossed in their game and didn't even notice me entering the room. After staring for more than ten seconds,
I couldn't bear to watch any longer and coughed lightly to alert them. Perhaps because she was used to my voice, my wife didn't notice, but
Liang Yuzhen heard me first, stopped what she was doing, turned around, and saw me in the doorway, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She hurriedly got off my wife and turned her back to straighten her clothes. My wife, on the other hand, seemed unfazed.
Although , she acted as if nothing had happened, sitting up and straightening her pants, saying, "You're back!"

"Yeah!" I nodded listlessly.

"Hurry up and wash up and eat, we're waiting for you!" she exclaimed after I finished dressing.

"What were you playing? You seemed to be having so much fun," I asked casually as I changed my shoes.

My wife was about to answer when Liang Yuzhen suddenly turned and grabbed her, laughing, "I won't tell you."

I had no way to deal with my wife, but I couldn't handle this woman. I could only endure it, calling it being a guest.

"Hurry up, Sister Yuzhen cooked today, she made stir-fried pork kidneys and braised lion's head meatballs," my wife urged
.

Whether it was my imagination or preconceived notions, the atmosphere felt a little off during the meal. But
then I thought, it's a small matter. Liang Yuzhen has Huo Lixiang; I believe she was just playing around and would miss
Huo Lixiang , then move back home.

I didn't need to take it seriously, but soon something truly painful happened. My wife seemed to have become attached to Liang Yuzhen. Even
when we slept, she still insisted I sleep in the next room while she slept in the bedroom with Liang Yuzhen.

Last night it was one thing, but today she came again, which naturally made me reluctant. I subtly expressed my dissatisfaction, reminding
her that we were husband and wife, and that I was her husband, etc., saying quite a lot, but to no avail. My wife seemed not to hear me,
determined to sleep with Liang Yuzhen.

Liang Yuzhen sat on the sofa, not saying anything, but it was clear she was siding with my wife. With an outsider present,
and one who dared not do anything rash, I could only swallow my anger and was once again sent to the next room, where I slept with a pillow.

The next morning, I had the same dream again, only the location changed to the sofa. Two women were naked, embracing
each other , as if they were playing around, or perhaps rubbing against each other. I couldn't see clearly from outside the window, and I was very anxious, but no matter how much
I called, there was no response.
