You wait for me
I stared at his face, wondering why he was asking me that, or if he was just trying to make me worry.
"I have to go." Xia Ze said an hour later. At this moment, I was lying on the bed exhausted, I really wanted to sleep, but after Cheng Ruojun and I finished doing it, we didn't have such thoughts. Other than pain, I didn't feel anything when we were together.
I nodded and followed him out. He walked very carefully, and I don't think any of the servants heard what had just happened because I had been trying so hard to keep my voice down.
I lay on my bed, the air still seemed to be filled with the smell of Xia Ze. After resting for a while, I got up from my bed and opened the balcony's door, allowing the wind to carry away the smell.
I wore my clothes as I stood on the balcony. The gentle wind blew on my face, but I was still immersed in the beautiful moments when I was with Xia Ze. I missed him, the gentleness in his attitude when I was with him, as well as the thrill of betraying Cheng Ruojun.
Cheng Ruojun definitely would not have thought that he would be looking for a woman outside, while I was at home, on his bed.
Why not? I hatefully thought in my heart, clearly, he was the one who betrayed me first, but when he and Tao Man made love in the office and I had to watch, he had definitely thought of me. When he insulted me again and again, did he ever think about me, he never did, he just enjoyed himself, and I remembered the porridge he made last night, and the way he looked at me when he was lying in bed, and for a moment I was moved by him, but then I remembered what he had done to me.
I would never forget what he had done to me. I had been lying on the ground like a dog, and I would never forgive him.
I opened my eyes and thought of Xia Ze. He was just like this sunlight, after I was together with him, I could taste the benefits of eating my bones, and always wanted to hide in his embrace.
I waited for myself to calm down before returning to my room. I didn't expect to hear a knock on the door when I returned. I thought that the person outside must be a servant of my family. I tried to calm my emotions before saying, "Come in."
The door opened, and the person standing in the doorway was Sister Guo. I noticed that she frowned when she opened the door.
"What's the matter?" I tried my best to suppress the uneasiness in my heart as I asked, "Sister Guo."
She looked at me with a complicated gaze as she said, "Cheng Tun just called to inform me that he will be back for lunch with you. He will even bring a doctor."
"I know." I replied, "You can leave first."
Sister Guo looked at me for a moment before nodding her head. Her appearance made me feel as if she knew what Xia Ze and I were doing in the room.
"Sister Guo?"
Sister Guo turned her head to look at me. Her expression was a little doubtful, but when she revealed that expression, I felt that she did not know anything.
"You've worked in this family for so long. I was too insensible before, Ruo Ruo's temper wasn't too good, you must have suffered a lot." I tried to imitate the other ladies, but I was still not used to it. My tone was stiff.
The Sister Guo looked at me, as though she couldn't understand why I would suddenly say such words to her.
I continued to laugh as I said, "Sister Guo, it's not easy for you either. This house is managed by you, both inside and outside."
"Nothing is not easy. This is what I should do." At this time, Sister Guo finally recovered from her daze and said modestly.
I took out an envelope filled with money from the drawer. I walked slowly to the Sister Guo and said, "You know a lot of things about this family, including what you should say, and what you shouldn't say."
Sister Guo's expression changed as she sensed the threat in my words.
"I didn't mean anything else." I said, "I don't know much about this family, and I don't know many things as well as you. The reason I stopped you today is because if you have anything to tell me in the future, you should tell me less than you need to."
Sister Guo nodded her head, she understood what I mean.
I placed the money in my hands into Sister Guo's hands and held it tightly in her hands. I gently and solemnly said, "Sister Guo, we are a family, I'm alright.
Sister Guo looked at me, and I actually saw a hint of fear in her eyes, I am learning from Cheng Ruojun.
After Sister Guo heard what I said, she nodded her head and left the room.
I looked at her back as she hurried away and felt very comfortable in my heart. Actually, I was a bit nervous just now, but I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
I smiled at the closed door. What I thought was impossible, what I thought was very difficult, was actually not that difficult at all.
I clenched my fists and said to myself, Cheng Ruojun, wait for me.
