An incredibly alluring scene unfolded before him. The woman who had saved him was undulating ceaselessly on top of him.
This woman was so beautiful, she didn't pale in comparison even to Lin Qingyun.
She had a perfectly delicate, exquisite oval face, her features both charming and coldly alluring. She was a true stunner.
Zhao Dong's mind went blank. He couldn't understand why he was in a hotel room, let alone why this woman was doing this to him.
All he could remember was this woman saving him at a critical moment. Otherwise, he would be dead by now.
Seeing Zhao Dong looking at her, the woman swiftly covered herself with the quilt. A blush flashed across her icy face as she gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Close your eyes!"
Zhao Dong obediently closed his eyes. A moment later, the woman pulled away from him. After straightening her clothes, she sat down on the sofa by the bed.
She wore a red dress and black strappy high heels, her hair piled high and secured with a silver hairpin.
Her stunning face had a noble air that was difficult to look at directly, making her seem like a queen.
Zhao Dong was stunned. After a few seconds, he asked blankly, "Miss, you are...?"
The woman glanced at Zhao Dong indifferently. "If you have a question, just ask."
Zhao Dong took a deep breath. "Why did you save me?"
"Because we have a common enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Wang Hao?"
"No. My enemy is the force behind Wang Hao."
The corner of Zhao Dong's mouth twitched. "Then why did you... do this with me?"
Before Zhao Dong could finish, the woman frowned. She gave him a cold glance and said, "This is my revenge against a beast. It has nothing to do with you. At most, you just got lucky."
Zhao Dong was speechless. "To get revenge on another man, you just casually sleep with me? Do you realize you just took my body?"
The woman said coldly, "Don't play the victim when you clearly benefited. In East Sea, the line of men who want me would stretch for several city blocks."
Zhao Dong was speechless for a long moment. He felt a strange pang of guilt toward Lin Qingyun, but this hadn't been his fault.
Zhao Dong sighed in resignation. "I have one last question."
"Speak," the woman said indifferently.
"Who are you?"
The woman stared at Zhao Dong, her icy gaze as sharp as a knife, seeming to pierce right through him.
"Xu Yafei."
Zhao Dong frowned. "Never heard of you."
Xu Yafei glanced at Zhao Dong and said indifferently, "It's for the best that you haven't. And another thing—only you are to know about this. If you dare breathe a word of it, countless people in East Sea will ensure your death."
The corner of Zhao Dong's mouth twitched. "This is all your fault."
Xu Yafei suddenly smiled. "But I also saved you. I saved your life, you lent me your body. We're even. However, the moment I walk out that door, we will have nothing more to do with each other."
Zhao Dong was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I understand. But you did save my life, so... thank you."
Xu Yafei paused, slightly taken aback. Then she said lightly, "If you truly want to thank me, then get stronger. Become so strong that everyone in East Sea knows your name."
Before Zhao Dong could fully process her words, Xu Yafei left.
The click of the door closing echoed in the room, leaving only her faint, lingering fragrance.
Zhao Dong stared blankly at the empty room, his mind reeling.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings. He'd only been back for two days, and he'd already slept with two women? And both were absolute stunners. Either Lin Qingyun or Xu Yafei could devastate a crowd of men, and yet he'd been with both of them...
Zhao Dong suddenly seemed to remember something and whipped the quilt off the bed.
On the snow-white bedsheet, a faint stain of blood had blossomed...
Zhao Dong fell silent for a moment. He walked to the window and watched the Mercedes drive away, lost in thought.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen—it was his mother, Zhang Cuimei. He quickly answered.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Dong, where are you? Hurry home!"
Zhao Dong frowned. "What's wrong, Mom? Did something happen?"
"Nothing's wrong! Miss Lin is here!"
"Lin Qingyun? What's she doing here again?"
"Look, it's too complicated to explain over the phone! Just hurry back. You'll understand when you get here!"
After saying this, Zhang Cuimei decisively hung up, leaving Zhao Dong completely baffled.
What was going on with Lin Qingyun? He had already rejected her, so why was she at his house again?
Having no choice, Zhao Dong quickly got ready to leave. Before he left, he took one last, long look around the room.
It was in this room that he had taken the first time of a woman named Xu Yafei. Her faint fragrance still seemed to linger in the air.
Zhao Dong tore his gaze away, turned, and left without another moment's hesitation.
「In East Sea City's First Hospital」
Wang Hao lay on a bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages. The woman from before lay on the adjacent bed.
Suddenly, Wang Hao's face twisted ferociously as he roared, "Zhao Dong, I want you dead! I want you dead!"
A doctor walked in, displeased. "What's all the shouting about?"
Wang Hao immediately deflated and asked the doctor nervously, "Doctor, when will my hand and leg get better?"
The doctor's expression was strange. Just as he was about to speak, one of Wang Hao's underlings quickly gave him a look.
The doctor cleared his throat. "We don't know for now. You need to focus on resting. Just stay in the hospital."
Wang Hao opened his mouth to speak, but closed it, his face full of dejection. "I understand, Doctor."
The doctor shook his head, sighing inwardly. That kid's hand is crippled... It's never going to heal.
The face of the woman on the next bed was swollen and unrecognizable, her eyes filled with venom. "That bastard dared to hit my face! Wang Hao, I'm going to kill him!"
The corner of Wang Hao's mouth twitched and he snorted. "That bastard really learned how to fight in the army. Dealing with him is tricky. But..."
"But what?"
Wang Hao gave a sinister smile. "But I have a plan. Men, get in here!"
A subordinate hurried over. Wang Hao whispered something in his ear, and the man immediately exclaimed, "Boss Hao, you're a genius!"
Wang Hao smiled smugly and waved a hand. "Alright, get to it. Just do as I said."
"Yes, Boss Hao!"
「Meanwhile, in the suburbs of East Sea City」
Zhao Dong arrived home, feeling a little uneasy.
For some reason, he felt a pang of guilt. He had slept with Lin Qingyun yesterday. That was one thing, but he'd also rejected her proposal. And then today, he'd slept with Xu Yafei. I'm starting to feel like a scumbag... but it's not like I made any of this happen!
Zhao Dong sighed. He soon reached the gate to his family's small courtyard and tried to compose himself as he walked inside.
As he stepped through the gate, his gaze fell upon the beautiful back of Lin Qingyun.
Hearing his footsteps, Lin Qingyun turned. Their eyes met. Zhao Dong's expression flickered, and he sighed softly before asking, "What are you doing here again?"
