"Do you really think so?" I looked up, feeling a bit dizzy from the alcohol.
"Mm..."
Did I misread the situation? The strong woman I had always defended now appeared so shy?
Suddenly, I reached out and wrapped my arms around Ma Shishi's neck, pulling her closer.
"Smack!" I shot a cold glance at the phone outside the window that was aimed at us, then quickly turned off the light.
These past few days, I had felt like someone was watching me. Occasionally, when I turned around, I would spot a strange little chubby guy wandering through the crowd.
My intuition told me he was the "little chubby" that the receptionist at Jiao Li Company mentioned.
I knew the moment of reckoning was approaching because my new house was almost ready for renovation, and soon Jiao Li and I would be moving in to start what she called our "world of two."
Yes, a sweet world of two. If it weren't for her indifference and arrogance these days, I might have almost forgotten about the "sweet" pie that had once been placed before me.
I suddenly held Ma Shishi's hand. "Ma Shishi, not now..."
She stopped her movements, opened her eyes, and pushed me away, but she wasn't angry.
"Who told you to call me Ma Shishi? Call me President Ma, you little brat! Taking advantage and then acting innocent!"
After saying that, she tidied her hair and stood up to leave.
"Tomorrow, come to my office to work overtime alone; you're not allowed to go anywhere!" She left that remark in the hallway.
Fine, I'll do it! It's not like I haven't done it before.
Time to get down to business; I dialed Cui Xiangjun's number casually.
"Old Lu, I knew you'd call me."
Zhi Gang's smug voice came through the phone.
"Yeah, I knew I'd be calling you too," I replied helplessly.
"Cut the crap; get to the point."
"I'm begging you."
"Begging me for what?"
"You know it in your heart, do I really need to say it out loud?"
The fact that we could still joke like this showed that our understanding was still intact.
"You take a taxi back here, and I'll show you something..."
Wait a minute, over a hundred kilometers? You expect me to just go back?
"Fine, I'll head back right away."
Zhi Gang wasn't exactly a serious person, so he had set up a camera in some hotel room.
As luck would have it, Jiao Li was assigned to that room that day.
Needless to say, this was definitely Zhi Gang's doing.
What I saw on the video left me completely stunned.
Jiao Li had a chubby guy tied to the head of the bed, mercilessly whipping him.
Before long, they started eating and drinking, and after finishing, they smashed the bottles into pieces.
Jiao Li used the shards of glass to cut the chubby guy, who let out pig-like squeals.
It was hard to tell if he was in pain or enjoying it.
After the chubby guy left, a handsome boy came in, and the outcome was the same.
When Jiao Li kicked them out, she threw money at their faces with force.
"This..."
I felt a bit dazed but also thought it was somewhat expected.
Zhi Gang shrugged: "Don't ask me; I suspect she's a sadist. I didn't tell her it was my place; otherwise, she might not have been so reckless."
"Alright, I won't ask. Tell me about what happened after I got drunk that day."
"Do you really want to know?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, don't regret it."
Zhi Gang cleared his throat, making it sound as if he was about to give a speech.
"The atmosphere that day was quite nice. After you lay down, President Ma took me out for a drink alone. Sigh..."
Zhi Gang put on a serious expression.
"I’ve never seen her cry like that."
"She can cry? I've never seen it!"
I truly had never witnessed it; she always seemed so strong in front of me.
"Well, I hope you never have to see it in your lifetime!"
Zhi Gang shot me a resentful glance.
"She said the man she loves is getting married, and she isn't the bride. She also mentioned that she feels Jiao Li doesn't love you, but she can't pinpoint what's wrong—her intuition as a woman tells her so. She even said you looked like a country bumpkin when you first joined the company..."
"Get to the point!"
