Chapter

Shi Wei discovered her husband Lin Xiaoran's affair just ten minutes ago, after three years of marriage.

Today is Saturday, a day that should be for rest. However, due to a problem at her studio, she had to head there, leaving her sound-asleep husband Lin Xiaoran at home. But only two minutes after she left the house, she realized she had left her manuscript at home and decided to return to fetch it.

As she was about to step through the entrance, she overheard Lin Xiaoran's voice from the bedroom:

"That frumpy old woman has left, when are you coming over?"

Shi Wei's body shuddered. Who was Lin Xiaoran talking to? And who was this frumpy old woman he referred to?

"Tease...I'll come over soon. Do you miss me that much?" His loudspeaker was on, and when the woman’s voice came out, Shi Wei's face turned even paler.

She recognized the voice to be from Han Meng, a member of her studio. Han Meng had a flirtatious face and flitted between men. Lin Xiaoran visited her studio only once. When did they start this affair?!

Filled with mixed feelings of anger, Shi Wei wanted to burst into the room and confront the two cheaters, but her sane side made her reluctantly turn around and quietly shut the door behind her. By the time she came to her senses, she had already driven away.

Outraged, Shi Wei dialed her best friend Su Qing: "Lin Xiaoran has bloody cheated on me! The woman is Han Meng! I want a divorce. Let's figure out how I can minimize my loss."

Su Qing was a divorce lawyer.

"What? Lin Xiaoran had an affair?! I warned you about hiring Han Meng in your studio, remember?" Su Qing was stunned upon hearing the news, "If he really cheated, you have to gather evidence - recorded or filmed!"

Shi Wei pleaded, "Can you help me order a camera online? Lin Xiaoran actually brought Han Meng home. I feel sick just thinking they would have made love on that bed!"

Judging by the way Lin Xiaoran spoke on the phone, they must have had a long-standing relationship.

"Alright, don't be too upset. Where are you? I'll come to be with you."

"No need, let me be alone for a while." Shi Wei said this as she drove and parked her car in front of the hotel where she often worked. Due to her work requirements, she had conveniently booked a long-term suite there.

After getting out of the car, Shi Wei handed the keys to the valet to park the car, and entered the elevator full of anger. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a man and woman entered.

Professional habits made Shi Wei observe them even in such a mood. The man was handsome, the woman beautiful; however, Shi Wei felt they were mismatched as the man was too handsome, unforgettable at a glance, whilst the woman paled in comparison.

As soon as she entered, the woman spoke nonchalantly to the man: "Can't you stay here with me? I don't get to come here often."

The man replied indifferently: "I have other clients."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wei raised her eyebrow, looked the man up and down, what a pity, so handsome and well-built, sad that he's just a gigolo.

They were also going to the 31st floor. Shi Wei deliberately lagged a step, stood at the elevator door without moving, and took out a cigarette from her pocket to light and hold in her mouth.

Shortly after, the man came back and seeing Shi Wei still there, he glanced at her indifferently.

Shi Wei held the cigarette at her fingertips and chuckled: "How much to book you?" Since Lin Xiaoran cheated on her, she had no reason to remain faithful.

"What?" Huo Zhen Ting narrowed his eyes, looking at the bold woman in front of him.

Shi Wei scoffed: "You're just a gigolo, who fears I can't afford you? I'll give you a hundred grand, keep me company for a day, how about that?"

Huo Zhen Ting's eyes darkened with a hint of anger, yet he curved his lips into a smirk, took a step forward overbearing Shi Wei, and stared at her with phoenix eyes, speaking faintly: "I'll give you a million to stay with me for a day, how's that?"

"Alright." Shi Wei laughed scornfully. As her words fell, she put out her cigarette, held onto Huo Zhen Ting's neck, and kissed him.

Lin Xiaoran had betrayed Shi Wei. She didn't want to remain loyal either. Besides, this gigolo in front of her was leagues better than Lin Xiaoran in every aspect. More importantly, he was willing to pay her a million. Why wouldn't she go for it?

Shi Wei hadn't slept with Lin Xiaoran for a while due to her busy work. She didn't know whether Lin Xiaoran cheated because of this. However, she didn't care now...

Hiss...

"Concentrate." Huo Zhen Ting bit her shoulder, sounding somewhat displeased, as if annoyed by her distraction.

He was extremely handsome, and as Shi Wei watched his face, she was somewhat dazed, feeling as if she had seen this face somewhere before. However, she had face blindness, so even if she had seen him, she couldn't recall where.

Afterwards, Shi Wei lay on the bed, not wishing to move. Huo Zhen Ting went to take a bath. When he finished and came out of the bathroom, Shi Wei was leaning against the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette.

The sight of her smoking was unnaturally enticing.

"Hey, what's your name? Which club are you from? I'll request you the next time I visit." Shi Wei, squinting her eyes, lazily asked as she spotted him emerging.

Huo Zhen Ting smiled, "Don't you know who I am?"

"Why should I know you? Are you famous or something?" Shi Wei retorted. Although he did look familiar, she had face blindness and couldn't remember someone she had only met once or twice.

Huo Zhen Ting didn't respond but instead unpinned his towel again and moved towards her, "You don't know? Then I'll make you remember."

At night, Shi Wei stood alone in front of the giant floor-to-ceiling window in her room, her curly hair flowing loosely, a cigarette in her hand, staring coldly at the city below.

Indeed, she had married Lin Xiaoran due to love, but it was long since eroded in the past three years of married life.

When she first discovered Lin Xiaoran's infidelity, she felt more rage than sorrow. If he liked another woman, he should have asked for divorce. Knowing well that she had a dislike for uncleanliness, he nonetheless brought women home, even dared to mess with her studio's employee!

She admitted that she no longer loved Lin Xiaoran, which is why she could sleep with that male escort. However, this didn't mean she was ready for a peaceful divorce. At least, before discovering his cheating, she never thought of cuckolding Lin Xiaoran.

Shi Wei took a deep breath, scattering the knot in her heart. She was about to pour herself a drink when she noticed a note left by the man from earlier on the bedside table, "Come find me tomorrow."

Not even blinking, she crumpled the note and tossed it into the trash can. She had already forgotten what that man looked like. He didn't even leave behind his phone number or name. Where was she supposed to find him?

When Shi Wei was toasting her drink, as she sat on the carpet and tilted her head back, she suddenly caught a glimpse through the floor-to-ceiling window. There was a billboard exhibited on the building across. The man on it was dressed in a suit and tie, with his hair meticulously combed, standing straight. His profile was firm and calm. Although it was at a distance, Shi Wei could still see that his ink-black eyes, deep like an abyss, were filled with sharpness and fierceness.

A twitch appeared on the corner of Shi Wei's mouth. When she thought of the man she had slept with before, her face suddenly fell.

That man was actually Huo Zhenting?

She wondered why he seemed so familiar!
