Chapter 493: If You Want to Leave, I Won't Stop You
Chapter 493: If You Want to Leave, I Won't Stop You
"You make it sound like there's something going on between me and her. She is the woman my brother likes."Su Qing had obviously seen through it long ago, but Zhou Yuwen simply refused to admit it. Glancing at the phone ringing non-stop, Zhou Yuwen did not even think twice. He directly rejected the call and then turned the phone off.
This might be a bit unfair to Lu Wanting, but she should have expected this the moment she decided to be with Zhou Yuwen. To tell the truth, a large part of the reason Zhou Yuwen got involved with Lu Wanting in the first place was that he hoped she would stay abroad to act as his proxy. Besides, wasn't the reason Lu Wanting was perfectly willing to follow him because she needed material security?
Both sides were well aware of this arrangement, so what was the point of calling him right now?
Did she want emotional value?
Please, it was not like they were actually dating.
At the very least, in front of Su Qing, Zhou Yuwen had to clearly distinguish his priorities.
Zhou Yuwen tossed the phone aside and got onto the bed, embracing Su Qing once again. Without a second thought, his hand slipped into her long dress. Seeing his decisiveness, the corners of Su Qing's mouth naturally curled into a faint smile. "Treating me like that, aren't you afraid she will get angry?" she asked.
"Stop making such a fuss. Aren't I focusing all my attention on you? You are getting exactly what you want and still complaining!"
Zhou Yuwen did not bother with a gentle temper when it came to Su Qing either. He flipped her over on the bed and lifted her long dress, revealing half of her buttocks. Between an old couple like them, there was no need to make things so complicated; it was better to just get straight to the point. Even if Su Qing's mood was not entirely there at first, and she pouted in dissatisfaction at his rough attitude, she very quickly began to hum softly in pleasure.
As for Zhou Yuwen's newly purchased villa, Lu Wanting had held back for a long time before finally making a phone call to him. To her complete surprise, after ringing for a good while, the automated voice from the other end replied, "Hello, the number you have dialed is out of service area."
This infuriated Lu Wanting half to death, and she could not help but feel incredibly wronged in her heart.
What on earth did Zhou Yuwen mean by this?
Even though she knew he had other women when she decided to be with him, and she had felt she could accept it—after all, she had been brainwashed not only by her family but also by Zhu Hong—she still believed that she would rather be one of the women of a powerful man than spend her entire life in mediocrity with a useless nobody.
That reasoning was perfectly fine, but Zhou Yuwen was the one who had said she smelled so good in bed.
He even said she was his favorite.
How could it be that after just one day, he was completely ignoring her?
He could not just bully people like this, right?
Lu Wanting drank her wine alone in the large villa, sulking in frustration.
She was dressed rather maturely, wearing a sleeveless silk shirt paired with a coffee-colored tight skirt, her long legs slipping into a pair of high heels.
Ever since becoming Zhou Yuwen's woman, Lu Wanting's style of dress had undergone a massive transformation. Everything she wore was meticulously coordinated essentially just to please him.
She sat on the sofa, waiting miserably for Zhou Yuwen to return. She waited continuously from five in the afternoon all the way until ten at night. Checking the time, she figured that he should have been back by now.
But it was almost eleven o'clock, and he had not even taken the initiative to contact her once?
Actually, before calling him, she had sent him several text messages, generally asking how long until he came back.
"Are you not planning to come back tonight?"
"Are you just going to leave me here alone and ignore me?"
"I miss you."
Zhou Yuwen was eating at the time and saw the messages, but he did not reply. He felt that Lu Wanting was starting to lose her sense of boundaries; even Su Qing would not dare speak to him in that tone.
How long until he returned?
That was the tone of a wife asking her husband.
But was Lu Wanting his wife?
Therefore, Zhou Yuwen was intentionally avoiding her calls. He needed her to recognize her proper place.
However, the more he ignored her calls, the more wronged Lu Wanting felt. She was even on the verge of shedding tears. A wave of regret washed over her for getting involved with him; she felt like he did not like her at all.
If he didn't like her, then why did he sleep with her?
Did he simply just want to sleep with her?
He was definitely with Su Qing right now.
As the image of Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing turning clouds and overturning rain appeared in her mind, a wave of inexplicable irritability surged within Lu Wanting's heart. Unable to stop herself from biting her lower lip, she grabbed the red wine from the coffee table and downed it in one gulp without a second thought.
Tonight, for Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing, absence truly made the heart grow fonder. Counting from their previous life up until now, it had been nearly a decade, yet their relationship remained surprisingly harmonious.
After such a passionate night, Su Qing was thoroughly nourished once again. Her face became increasingly delicate and radiant by the time the morning sunlight streamed into the room.
Zhou Yuwen was still lying on the bed, fast asleep.
But Su Qing had a morning class and needed to get up early.
Crawling out from under the covers, the sunlight spilled over her snow-white skin. Reaching her hands behind her back, she expertly fastened the clasp of her underwear. Looking at Zhou Yuwen's carefree and contented appearance, and then recalling how he had tormented her so fiercely last night that she could barely hold herself together, an inexplicable surge of annoyance bubbled up inside Su Qing. Gritting her teeth, she muttered, "Bastard. We both experienced rebirth, so how is it that you are getting more and more formidable?"
Zhou Yuwen chuckled softly. "Listen to you," he teased.
"I might be getting more formidable, but aren't you getting softer and more tender?"
As he spoke, he reached out and gave Su Qing's buttocks a light pinch.
Su Qing understood his meaning perfectly, but still refusing to concede, she let out a soft hmph.
She continued getting out of bed to put on her clothes.
Her slender, snow-white little feet stepped onto the carpet as she informed him that she would be heading straight to class in a moment.
"Are you still going to eat lunch with me?" she asked.
"I have other things to handle at noon," Zhou Yuwen replied.
Tying up her hair, Su Qing glanced back at him upon hearing this and asked what he had going on.
"Going to keep sister-in-law company?"
Zhou Yuwen corrected her, "Stop calling her sister-in-law all the time. She has a name. You should call her Sister Wanting."
Su Qing replied with disdain, "Vixen."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen merely smiled and did not say a word.
Once Su Qing finished getting ready, she was the first to leave.
Zhou Yuwen had somewhat overexerted himself last night, so he lay in bed until ten o'clock, only heading back after having breakfast.
On his way back, he turned on his phone and discovered over a dozen missed calls from Lu Wanting.
She had also sent him several messages.
They were from just past one in the morning.
She said she was returning to China.
She had bought a plane ticket overnight.
And she was just going to leave directly.
She felt that he did not love her.
Zhou Yuwen read through the messages one by one, his face devoid of any expression.
By the time he returned to the villa he had purchased in New York.
Lu Wanting was still sitting in the living room. She hadn't slept well last night and was in a semi-conscious state. She had drank some wine, and wanting to act out of spite toward him, she had sent those dramatic texts.
Then she spent the night packing her things. After getting all her luggage packed, she just sat on the sofa.
Whenever there was even the slightest sound outside, she would pick up her suitcase and strike a pose as if she were about to leave.
Only to step outside and find it was merely a passing car. Actually, for a fleeting moment, Lu Wanting had genuinely intended to leave.
She thought to herself, 'I'm going to return to China and make Zhou Yuwen regret it!'
'I'll make him come back, find me gone, and feel heartbroken.'
'Hmph, it serves him right. Who told him to ignore me?'
But just as she stepped out into the villa's courtyard, she thought again, 'What if Zhou Yuwen doesn't even bother looking for me?'
She felt that she might not actually be all that irreplaceable.
So far, she was still not entirely clear on the identity of the Zhang Tianze she had seen during the day. But at that moment, recalling that young, beautiful girl from earlier, Lu Wanting suddenly felt a stab of fear. What if Zhou Yuwen just went and found someone else?
'In that case, maybe I should wait a little longer?'
The more she thought about it, the heavier her footsteps became. After pondering for a moment, Lu Wanting decided to give Zhou Yuwen one more chance, so she went back to the living room and sat down again.
She repeated this agonizing cycle several times.
It continued until the sun rose, and before she knew it, the time had flashed past ten o'clock.
The roar of a car engine echoed from outside once again.
Her thoughts snapped back to the present. She could be absolutely certain that it was definitely Zhou Yuwen returning this time. Without even thinking, she stood up, grabbed her suitcase, and marched toward the door.
Just as she reached the entryway, Zhou Yuwen happened to be opening the door from the outside.
Seeing her dragging her suitcase and looking like she was ready for a long, weary journey, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "With all these bags, where are you planning to go?"
The moment she saw him, the feeling of being wronged intensified in her heart.
Pursing her lips, she blurted out without a second thought, "Don't try to stop me. I'm going back to China!"
With that, she dragged her suitcase and pushed her way out.
She had originally expected him to at least try to stop her, but unexpectedly, he simply stepped aside to make room, quietly watching her.
Lu Wanting had already hauled her suitcase past the front door. Seeing that he still had no intention of holding her back, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of confusion, and her movements faltered for a moment.
Standing behind her, Zhou Yuwen watched her quietly before he couldn't hold back a soft chuckle. "Are you really planning to go to the airport dressed like that?"
At his words, Lu Wanting finally realized that she had been so entirely focused on packing last night that she hadn't even changed her clothes. She was still wearing typical mistress attire. Leaving everything else aside, simply dragging so much luggage while wearing a pair of two-and-a-half-inch red-soled high heels was incredibly awkward in itself.
However, Lu Wanting suddenly felt a surge of stubbornness. "I'm leaving just like this. Is there a problem with that?" she snapped.
Seeing her refuse to give up until she hit a brick wall, Zhou Yuwen felt quite helpless. Sure enough, no matter how old a girl was, she sometimes needed to be scolded. He watched her put on this grand performance, yet noticing that she still made no actual move to leave.
He did not waste any words. He simply grabbed her slender wrist and yanked her toward him.
Lu Wanting naturally wanted to resist, but before she could even utter a word, Zhou Yuwen directly wall-slammed her against the wall by the door and began to forcefully kiss her.
He raised her hands and pinned them against the wall.
The clothes she was wearing were already pitifully scarce to begin with. With her arms raised like that, the hem of her shirt naturally rode up, exposing her slender waist.
"Mmm..."
She had just been putting on an act anyway. This was exactly the outcome she had wanted, so when he leaned in to kiss her, she certainly wasn't going to refuse. She even closed her eyes and began to eagerly cooperate.
The two of them began to groan and hum passionately right by the door.
It went from him pinning her arms while kissing, to the two of them tightly embracing each other.
Lu Wanting wrapped both hands around his neck.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuwen looped his arms around her waist. They kissed as if they could not bear to be separated, his hands roaming back and forth over her slender waist.
After making out like this for a short while, Zhou Yuwen smoothly kicked the front door shut.
Then he scooped her up by her long legs and tossed her straight onto the sofa.
It just so happened that he hadn't fully satisfied himself with Su Qing last night.
Now, he could continue where he left off.
Very quickly, the living room was thrown into absolute chaos by Zhou Yuwen.
Lu Wanting's red-soled high heels, her coffee-colored shorts...
Everything was haphazardly discarded onto the floor.
Then, her slender little feet were raised high in the air above the sofa.
Whatever the two were doing on the sofa was obscured from view. Looking in through the window, all one could see was that pair of soft, plump little feet peeking over the edge.
Then, as Zhou Yuwen exerted his strength over there, the entire room was filled with the sounds of soft moaning and humming.
This time, Zhou Yuwen was genuinely exhausted. He could finally understand the words spoken by those rich men on television in the past: the more money you have, the less freedom you possess. That saying was entirely correct.
Take this time, for example. He hadn't planned on doing anything when he returned, but faced with Lu Wanting acting out like this, aside from conquering her in bed, there really was no other way to resolve it.
Women truly just needed to be taught a lesson sometimes.
After their intimate session of turning clouds and rain was over, Lu Wanting immediately became well-behaved and honest.
Lying prone on his chest with a sweet and sticky clinginess, she acted as if she couldn't bear to be apart from him for even a single second. Resting her head against him wasn't enough; she even draped her long legs over his.
Seeing her small face flushed red with an utterly gleeful expression...
Zhou Yuwen asked her, "What's the matter? Weren't you going back to China? Go on, didn't you say you already bought the plane ticket? Leave then."
Lu Wanting reacted as if she had been thoroughly embarrassed. Her face turned incredibly red as she began to act coquettishly, whining, "Aiya~"
At this moment, she hadn't even put her clothes back on yet. Combined with the fact that they were on the sofa with half her body exposed, as she acted coquettishly and wriggled her body, the sounds she let out were just like a little kitten.
Lu Wanting was originally a girl from Nanyang. When girls from over there whined and acted cute, the sweet sounds they made could truly make a man go soft. Continuing to hum and whine, she complained, "Who told you to ignore me last night? I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but sneer. "Listen to yourself," he challenged. "Do you think that's even credible?"
"I didn't want you? Whose large villa is this? Whose car is this? If I didn't want you, would I have bought you all these things?" As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen picked up the car keys from the coffee table and jingled them at her.
Lu Wanting was left speechless. Looking like a child who had made a mistake, she finally managed to latch onto a tiny loophole and couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you ignore me last night?"
"You were with Su Qing last night, weren't you?"
Zhou Yuwen shot her a glance and stated, "Su Qing is my girlfriend. Is there a problem with that?"
He asked the question with absolute seriousness. Lu Wanting instantly fell silent, lowering her head with a guilty conscience.
She was still leaning against him, half of her body pressed tightly against his.
Her skin was truly incredibly smooth.
However, Zhou Yuwen gestured for her to get up, putting some distance between them. "Sister Wanting," he said, "before we got together, you already knew what kind of person I am. You chose this path yourself. Since you chose it, you inevitably have to give up certain things."
"If you can't even manage that much, and you want to return to China, fine. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Go ahead."
