"Miss Rong Jin, your husband is in room 2588 of the Lan Ting Hotel with another woman."
Rong Jin held her breath, waiting for the elevator to ascend.
She had been away on a business trip in Munich for a month; upon her return, she received an inexplicable text message.
Initially, she thought it was a prank and disregarded it. But after she got off the plane and couldn't reach her husband by phone, she found his location was at the Lan Ting Hotel via a mobile tracker.
So, she panicked.
Once she arrived at room 2588, Rong Jin was surprised to discover that the door was half-open!
She was suddenly pushed hard in the small of her back, floundering into the pitch-black room. Barely stabilizing herself, a burning hot figure leaned into her, pinning her against the door.
"Husband?" Rong Jin tentatively whispered.
The other person didn't respond. In the darkness, they accurately found Rong Jin's lips, their kiss fierce and eager.
The room was half-open, and the person inside began kissing her as soon as she entered…
Quickly putting two and two together, Rong Jin assumed that being apart for so long, Song Shi had orchestrated this scenario to tease her.
So, she let down her guard, embracing the man and reciprocating his sweetness.
As dawn broke and Rong Jin awoke, she noticed her exposed arm was covered in kiss marks; there was pain on her body, but sweetness filled her heart.
She had been married to Song Shi for a year. But due to their work circumstances which often kept them apart, they hadn't been able to consummate their marriage.
Last night, they finally did.
"Husband..."
Turning around, Rong Jun had intended to rebuke Song Shi for his surprise too frightening, yet found the bed beside her empty and without any lingering warmth, showing that the man had left long before.
A pendant was placed on the bed. It was from the T house's "Flawless Lover" series, a collector's item.
At least this man knew to leave her a gift.
Rong Jun chuckled, picked up the pendant and had just worn it when the tightly shut bedroom door was kicked open, and a group of paparazzi carrying cameras entered and surrounded the bed, making it impossible for her to escape.
"Click, click, click!”
The camera flashes kept shooting at Rong Jun who was half-exposed.
"Miss Rong Jun, you just returned from a business trip and daringly had a secret meeting with your lover in a hotel. Have your feelings for Mr. Song Shi deteriorated?"
"Have you two secretly divorced?"
"Miss Rong Jun, please answer our questions!"
"..."
The sudden intrusion of the reporters and their malicious questions caught Rong Jun off guard. She kept retreating.
Her thin body leaned against the head of the bed, her face full of panic.
"You... What are you talking about? I was with my husband last night!" Rong Jun pulled up the thin quilt to fully cover herself and pointed towards the door, "Get out of here..."
"Rong Jun!"
Just then, an icy voice tinged with anger cut in.
Yong Jin's vision went dark. When she raised her head, she saw her husband standing in front of her. His face no longer had its usual gentle and scholarly expression, instead, it was replaced by a gloomy one.
"Honey, you came just in time," she said, ignoring why he came so early and his unusual expression. Yong Jin crawled over to him, gripping his arm, "Wasn't everything last night a surprise you prepared for me? These reporters have slandered me with false accusation of adultery..."
Before Jing Jin could finish her sentence, a heavy slap landed on her cheek.
The slap sent her directly onto the bed, her mind suddenly going blank.
Song Shi slammed a stack of photos onto her face. The sharp edge of the photos cut her cheek, and blood immediately began to seep out.
"See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine tomorrow morning!"
His voice was extremely cold, and he turned and left as soon as he finished speaking, as if he was disgusted by the sight of her.
Yong Jin covered her numb and painful cheek, looking at the photo that fell under her eyelashes. It was a man coming out of room 2588, only a side profile was captured, and it was definitely not Song Shi.
He just left at about six this morning!
Yong Jin looked carefully at the photo while shivering.
The man last night was not Song Shi!
