Chapter 2: Taking Care
She might as well give it a try. After all, she came here to sleep with Lu Zhaohe, and sleeping once or twice didn't make much of a difference.
Besides, it had been over twenty years, and it was her first time experiencing that indescribable feeling of ecstasy and near-death pleasure. She even felt a bit fortunate that she hadn't given her first time to Jiang Lin.
She made up her mind and directly tiptoed to hook her arms around Lu Zhaohe's neck, leaning close to his thin lips, and stubbornly said, "I'm not afraid."
She had already wasted seven years, and how many more years could she afford to waste? Youth was fleeting.
It was another long hour...
Bai Pu fell asleep, weeping silently.
Lu Zhaohe reached for a cigarette but found that the tip had been squashed by Bai Pu. He turned his head and glanced at the woman sleeping on the bed, his gaze deep and distant.
He faintly curved his lips.
His phone kept flashing with notifications. He picked it up and saw over twenty missed calls.
There were also a few text messages.
"Little Uncle, Bai Pu ran off to Beisa in a fit of anger. I'm worried. Since you happen to be in Beisa , can you take care of her? Here's her contact information..."
He raised an eyebrow subtly and noted down the number before casually replying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
He scrolled through a few more messages, but his fingertips paused slightly when he saw the earliest one.
After a brief moment of silence, he quickly turned off his phone, got dressed, and braved the wind and rain as he left.
…
Bai Pu was awakened by a phone call from Jiang Lin.
She answered in a daze and heard Jiang Lin's anxious voice asking her which room she was in. She instinctively blurted out a number before suddenly waking up.
Damn it, she forgot that her room was diagonally across. This was Lu Zhaohe's room!
She heard the sound of the elevator on the other end of the phone call. She immediately flipped over, quickly picked up her clothes at the fastest speed, but couldn't find her underwear no matter how hard she looked. Regardless, she didn't have time to worry about it. She put on a slip dress, threw on a coat, and rushed out.
Just as she was about to close Lu Zhaohe's room door and head to her own room, she realized she had forgotten to take the room key card, and Jiang Lin happened to appear in the corridor.
Upon seeing her, Jiang Lin hurriedly approached, placing down his suitcase and pulling her into his embrace, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, babe. Something came up at work yesterday, and I couldn't come to accompany you right away. I promise that I won't make you angry again in the future and won't let you suffer."
Bai Pu looked at the window at the end of the corridor, her face expressionless.
He still thought she was only concerned about him being a mama's boy.
Jiang Lin released her, glanced at the room number above her head, and said, "This is your room, right? Open the door first, and I'll put the suitcase inside. Then, I'll take you out to eat. I made plans with Little Uncle."
Only then did Bai Pu blink her eyes and awkwardly pointed inside the room. "I forgot to take the card. It's inside."
Jiang Lin playfully tapped her nose and said, "Always so absent-minded. It's okay, just go ahead. I'll leave the suitcase at the front desk."
Bai Pu felt awkward. She didn't want to go out unprepared, especially to see Lu Zhaohe.
But Jiang Lin didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly pulled her downstairs.
Fortunately, the restaurant wasn't far away, and during the few minutes in the car, Jiang Lin didn't notice anything unusual about Bai Pu.
When they arrived, the private room in the restaurant was already full.
Bai Pu looked at the scene and was dumbfounded.
In a barely audible voice, she asked Jiang Lin, "Weren't we just meeting Little Uncle? Why are there so many people?"
Jiang Lin smiled and explained, "Don't be nervous, they're all Little Uncle's colleagues. Little Uncle is about to 'retire', and his friends came to see him off. It just so happens that we coincided, so we came together."
