Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 35 - 35 35 Under the Table Flirtations

35: Chapter 35: Under the Table Flirtations 35: Chapter 35: Under the Table Flirtations The man who entered was Li Sijie’s husband, Sun Dongming, of about the same age as Li Sijie and also quite handsome.

At first glance, they seemed a perfectly matched couple indeed.

Li Sijie flicked her hair, trying to hide her panic, and flashed a smile, asking, “Husband, what brings you here?”

Sun Dongming took a seat directly in front of the desk, resting his arms on the tabletop, and said, “I came to discuss something with you.”

“What is it?” Li Sijie sensed that Sun Dongming’s tone and demeanor were unusually pleasant today, making her somewhat surprised.

“Well, I have been negotiating a project lately.”

“Negotiating a project, are you doing business?” Li Sijie was even more astonished.

“Yes, because this project is tough to negotiate, I need to often take people out for meals, which is why I haven’t been coming home.

It also puts me in a bad mood, causing me to lose my temper with you, my dear wife.

Please don’t mind it.”

“Not at all, I wouldn’t mind at all.

But you should have told me earlier; then I could have understood you better.”

“I just wanted to surprise you.

Now the project is nearly settled, and we can start soon.

It’s a very lucrative project.

Once we get it off the ground, the earnings will definitely surpass those of your club by far.

Here is the project information.

Take a look.”

Li Sijie pulled the edge of the desk subconsciously, inching forward a bit, and took the documents handed over by Sun Dongming.

It was a mere subtle movement, but her knee heavily nudged Song Xiaodong, making him feel unbearably stifled and uncomfortable.

He lightly tapped on Li Sijie’s calf with his hand, signaling her to move back.

While Li Sijie was looking through the documents Sun Dongming had handed her, she suddenly felt a touch on her leg, making her scream involuntarily and move backward.

“What’s wrong, dear?” Sun Dongming immediately stood up.

Song Xiaodong also cursed his luck, not expecting Li Sijie’s reaction to be so exaggerated, but thankfully, the pressure on his chest had vanished instantly.

“Ah!

Nothing, nothing at all, I was just startled by your surprise.

I always thought you were just messing around outside, but you have been working on such a big deal.

I’m really, really happy.

Yes, very happy.”

While speaking, Li Sijie pulled herself forward, moving back in front of the desk, her knee nudging Song Xiaodong’s chest again, albeit momentarily.

“Really?

I was worried you might be upset,” Sun Dongming immediately said excitedly, then sat back down.

“How could I be unhappy about this?” Li Sijie smiled at Sun Dongming, feeling incredibly uneasy inside, and even more annoyed inwardly at Song Xiaodong for touching her leg under the table.

She kicked Song Xiaodong’s foot as a warning to stop his mischief.

Song Xiaodong indeed refrained from messing around, recognizing that Li Sijie’s reactions were overly dramatic.

If it happened again, her husband might discover him.

Although there was originally nothing amiss, the presence of someone hidden under the table could turn a non-issue into a significant issue.

Li Sijie now only wanted to send Sun Dongming away and said, “Husband, I still need to take a closer look at this matter.

It can’t be finished in a moment.

There are still quite a few things to attend to in the clubhouse.

Let’s talk more when we get home.”

Sun Dongming instantly replied, “Wife, you should look at it first.

This matter is quite urgent; they are waiting for my response.

If I don’t give them a clear answer today, they won’t let me handle this project, and all my previous efforts will have been in vain.”

“It’s that serious?

Then I’ll look at it now.” Li Sijie had wanted to send Sun Dongming on his way earlier, but now she could only start looking seriously.

She was a woman very dedicated to her work; once she was serious, she forgot everything else.

She had forgotten about Song Xiaodong, but Song Xiaodong was down below, and at this point, he could hardly bear it.

The discomfort wasn’t from maintaining a position; during missions, he often didn’t move for hours, and this situation was hardly significant.

What was truly unbearable was having a pair of beautiful legs right in front of him, and doing nothing about it; it was torture for any man.

Moreover, it wasn’t merely in front of his eyes—it was like a dish placed right in front of him, a lavish feast, no less.

Although Song Xiaodong was not someone who indiscriminately pursued others, he was also no saint.

With such beauty before him, to do nothing was almost impossible.

Unable to endure any longer, there was no need to endure.

Song Xiaodong stretched out his hands and directly touched Li Sijie’s calves.

Li Sijie, engrossed in her reading even as Song Xiaodong touched her, did not react, her mind not on her legs.

She continued to review the proposal.

As Song Xiaodong’s caressing became more audacious, she finally realized something was wrong—the man was touching her legs.

“Wife, what’s wrong?

Is there a problem?” Sun Dongming had been watching Li Sijie and immediately asked tensely, seeing her stir.

“No problem, no problem; I just think this project is very good.” Li Sijie was terrified within.

If her husband discovered them, she would be doomed, unable to clear even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

She smiled at Sun Dongming, though even she was aware her smile was too strained.

She quickly kicked Song Xiaodong, the scoundrel, who was making a deadly situation worse.

But the person under the table didn’t heed her warning at all—his hands continued to recklessly roam her legs.

This filled Li Sijie with shame; she wanted to jump up but dared not, feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment, worry and fear, nearly driving her to the brink.

“That scoundrel!

How dare he treat me like this?

Just wait till my husband leaves; see how I deal with you,” she thought furiously to herself.

Seeing Li Sijie’s peculiar expression, Sun Dongming—unaware of the man still under the table misbehaving with his wife—thought she was dissatisfied with the proposal, and carefully asked, “Wife, your complexion…why doesn’t it look so good?”

Frightened, Li Sijie’s heart raced; being discovered by Sun Dongming would be terrible.

Even if she wasn’t cheating, the situation had turned into seeming infidelity.

She flicked her hair and said, “Maybe because I didn’t sleep well last night, my face feels a bit hot.”

“Are you getting a cold?

Let me see,” Sun Dongming said, standing up and walking towards Li Sijie.

Li Sijie’s soul nearly flew out of fear…
