Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Stratagem

"He..." Ji Wei’s heart was fiercely pierced.

Will he?

She thought he probably would. Even if he no longer loved her, from what she knew of him, he wouldn’t just let her suffer without doing anything. He had always wanted to make up to her for the past three years.

But earlier, when she called him, he didn’t pick up at all.

"Find an excuse to go out and meet him; after all, you live closer to here. I’ll stall for a while longer." Ji Wei held her phone tightly, as if it were her only lifeline.

"Sweetheart, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Not seeing Ji Wei come out for a long time, Zhou Boliang got out of bed, intending to open the door, hearing faint sounds from inside.

Ji Wei was so scared she trembled, quickly turning off her phone, undressing and slipping under the shower: "There’s no one, I... I was singing, I like to sing while showering."

The water soaked her hair, and her song drifted out, low, hoarse, suppressing the urge to cry.

It’s not like she hadn’t shared a bed with a man before, especially before her career took off, when she climbed onto the director’s bed for important roles. But it had never been this painful. After all, back then, she volunteered for fame and fortune.

But now? She was being openly threatened. Although both were humiliations, it was clear that her heart hurt more now.

"That’s enough. How long does it take to shower? I’m telling you, my patience is limited, don’t think about stalling for time." Zhou Boliang became annoyed, banging forcefully on the bathroom door, making it clear he’d burst in if it wasn’t opened soon.

To stay clear-headed and to slow the effects of the drug, she used cold water, her hair wet and trailing down her back, a chill creeping over her. Added to the loud banging on the door, Ji Wei’s heart trembled along, replying vaguely: "I’ll be right out, Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment."

With that, she really turned off the shower.

Hearing the water stop, a smile returned to Zhou Boliang’s lips, his lustful gaze slanting towards the door as if he could see her coming out naked.

"Let me dry my hair; it’s too wet, it’ll be uncomfortable otherwise." Ji Wei picked up the hairdryer, plugging it in and slowly drying her hair. Mo Jing only needed about seven or eight minutes to get there, plus the time to meet Leng Yan, she had to stall at least ten minutes.

"Annoying!" Zhou Boliang gritted his teeth, reluctantly sitting back on the bed.

If she weren’t Ji Wei, the woman he had admired for so long, he wouldn’t have the patience to wait; he would have already pounced on her, whether in the bathroom or on the bed, to relish in the feast she offered.

"Darling, I’m going out to buy something." Mo Jing took a deep breath in front of the mirror to calm herself, then walked out of the bathroom.

Xin Wei was still savoring his red wine. Seeing her come out, he reached for her, but she gently avoided him, kissing his face and playfully slinging her bag over her shoulder.

Xin Wei raised his eyebrows, displeased, staring at her coldly: "What are you going to buy?"

"Of course, that." Mo Jing smiled mischievously at him, hooking her arm around his neck: "Who’s to blame for being so strong that a pack runs out quickly, and we’re out of stock at home. If it weren’t embarrassing, I’d really want to buy a big box to keep in reserve for you."

"Your man, of course, is strong." Xin Wei laughed at that, giving her a playful smack on the butt: "Quickly go and come back."

What he said to Mo Jing was just empty words. He never considered divorcing his wife, so he never intended for Mo Jing to get pregnant. The necessities between him and Mo Jing were always her responsibility to buy, so when she claimed she was going to buy some, he didn’t suspect anything.
