I took in the sight of the stranger lying bare-chested on the bed, the epitome of masculinity.
Handsome and sophisticated, he was the kind who could make a person weak in the knees.
Although I was married, this man was not my husband. I had never thought I would cheat on my spouse, let alone in such a premeditated way.
A month ago, I witnessed my husband sleeping with Gu Tingchen's fiancée.
Unable to swallow this humiliation, I took advantage of Gu Tingchen's drunken state, claimed to be his secretary, brought him to this hotel, and indulged in a wild night of passion.
As I lost myself in my own thoughts, Gu Tingchen suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
His voice was deep and sexy, accompanied by a drowsy tone indicating he just woke up.
Feeling slightly guilty, I stopped gazing at him, turned around, and continued dabbing toner onto my face in the mirror, "We had a one-night fling, there's no need to know each other thoroughly. I didn't ask for your name, did I?"
From the reflection in the mirror, I could see his brows furrowed and his piercing gaze fixed on me.
"Do you often bring men to hotels?" His tone was indifferent, but I sensed a chilling disapproval.
I turned to him, feigning calmness, and responded with a smile, "Not exactly, but I couldn't resist your charm and manners, so..."
A flicker of disdain passed through his eyes. I guessed, at this point, he must have assumed I was a call girl.
But it was not surprising for him to think so, considering that this was my first time actively pursuing a man.
He got up, took a stack of money from his pocket, threw it by my side, and coldly ordered, "Stay away from now on."
Glancing at the money he threw over, I picked it up one bill at a time, counted about two thousand, hesitated for a moment, and finally stuffed it into my purse. Why not take the money when it was freely given?
When he came out of the bathroom, I had already dressed myself up again.
"Do you want to leave together?" I asked.
He ignored me and left on his own.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. What's he playing at?
Just at this moment, the door to the next room was opened. I couldn’t help but smile. The timing was perfect.
The vixen came out, arm in arm with my husband, sauntering with a seductive sway.
When our gazes met, I clearly felt the vixen's panic and my husband Tang Song's anger.
However, I have to admit that I indeed felt satisfied at this moment.
The taste of betrayal is not pleasant. Why should I be the only one to suffer? Especially when I'm the kind of person who returns an eye for an eye.
I just want to show these scumbag men and cheap women that I, Lu Xinxin, am not someone they can bully at will.
The vixen's face had already turned ashen. Still clinging to the scumbag's hand, she let go as if struck by an electric shock. "Ting Chen... you... how come you are here?"
The disgust in Gu Tingchen’s eyes deepened, and I continued to watch them with a cold gaze.
"We're just ordinary friends, nothing happened between us, you have to believe me." The vixen continued to explain, reaching out to hold Gu Tingchen's hand, only to grasp at thin air.
Seeing Gu Tingchen's reaction, the charming face of the vixen instantly turned pale.
I sneered, "You've gone to the point of booking a hotel room, and yet you claim there is 'nothing' between you. Who are you trying to fool?"
The gaze of the vixen finally fell on me, "Lu Xinxin, it must be you, the wretched woman, who's causing trouble behind my back, isn't it?"
She charged at me like a lunatic, attempting to slap me across my face.
I swiftly grabbed her hand and, reversing the grip, clawed at her face.
Her captivating face was immediately marked with five bloody scratches. I preferred disfiguring her face over slapping her.
"I'm not your grass boat, toss your troubles elsewhere."
The vixen, infuriated, trembled all over. She hurriedly took out a small mirror, and upon seeing the claw marks on her face, she wailed, "Lu Xinxin, you devious woman, you ruined my face, I'll kill you!"
It was true that women could become ferocious for the sake of their beauty. She even grabbed the fire extinguisher next to her and aimed it at my face.
What a joke! Did she think she could deal with me?
With a swift sidestep, I grabbed the extinguisher from her hands, "Vixen, with your piss-poor skills, you're thinking of crossing me?"
Just as I decided to fight fire with fire, my wrist was seized by Tang Song. He dragged me away.
"Tang Song, let go of me!" I struggled fiercely, punching Tang Song repetitively on his torso. But it seemed pointless.
Tang Song's fierce eyes were fixed on me. If looks could kill, I reckon I would already be dead, "Lu Xinxin, are you this desperate now?"
I snorted disdainfully, "You can sleep with the vixen, but I can't sleep with someone else?"
