Endless Fall

229 For Real This Time

“I’ll tell you tonight.” Pei Zhi took advantage of the fact that no one was around to suck her earlobe.

Lin Jiao leaned back as if she had been electrocuted.

She met those smiling eyes and had a bad feeling, but she knew he wouldn’t say and didn’t intend to ask again.

“Shall we eat upstairs?” She followed his slow footsteps and stepped into the elevator that was slowly opening.

Pei Zhi pressed the button to the fifth floor. “There’s a new hotpot restaurant upstairs.”

Lin Jiao, who had not eaten hotpot for a long time, was tempted.

She was taken to the table by the waiter and ordered many of her favorite dishes. Her stomach rumbled as she waited for the pot to be served.

The pot that had been boiling for five to six minutes started to emit a mouth watering fragrance.

“Eat more.” Pei Zhi placed the tripe into her bowl and poured the quail egg into the pot.

Lin Jiao dipped the tripe in the sauce and put it into her mouth. When her taste buds were satisfied, she narrowed her eyes.

She picked up two pieces of beef and prawns for Pei Zhi. “Hubby, the food in this restaurant tastes so good.”

“Then we’ll come back next week.” He pulled out a tissue to wipe her red, slightly swollen lips.

Lin Jiao smiled. “Okay.” She pouted and asked him to wipe it clean before leaning forward to kiss him.

He rubbed the top of her head and went to the parking lot with her.

“Honey, are you still bloated?”

“Not so much.”

Lin Jiao stroked her stomach through the sweater and drank the two mouthfuls of water he fed her. She was satisfied.

She crossed her legs on the sofa and dangled her sockless feet. “Any progress on Chu Yuzhou?”

“He and Tang Ni?” Hearing this, Pei Zhi hugged her and said, “He’s still chasing her.”

“Do you think he’s serious this time?”

“Probably.”

Lin Jiao recalled their last time together and guessed that this was very likely to work. “Shall we meet again sometime?”

“Next week.”

“I’ll ask Jiang Ye if he’s free first.” After all, it was not easy for him to take a leave, so they had to tell him in advance.

After sending the group message and confirming the time, she was carried to the bathroom by Pei Zhi to take a bath together.

“Honey, let me show you a few things.” He carried her into the study forty minutes later and unlocked the safe.

Lin Jiao, who was slumped on the soft chair, had an ominous feeling the moment she heard the bell.

She looked up and stared at the clamps with bells hanging on them and the whip. Her face turned red.

“Hubby.” She avoided his gaze. Her thoughts were in a mess when a cool touch landed on her collarbone.

Pei Zhi’s eyes darkened. “Be good.”

The night outside the window was as dark as ink.

A crescent moon hung in the sky. The bright moonlight shone through the half-open glass window and carried the evening breeze towards the overlapping figures.

The lights in the study went out, and the lights in the master bedroom were turned on.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed. The blush on Lin Jiao’s face gradually disappeared the moment she lay down.

She looked up at Pei Zhi and her heart raced at the thought of what had just happened.

“You’re too much.” There was a hint of softness in her voice, like the peaches he had eaten.

Pei Zhi chuckled. “How am I too much?”

“Everything you did is too much.”

“Don’t you like it?” He pushed her hair away from the side of her face.

“No!” She buried her head in his neck, refusing to admit that she liked it. “Stop talking. I’m going to sleep.”

Pei Zhi smiled even more.

He planted a kiss on her forehead, turned off the night light, and fell asleep with her in his arms in the quiet environment.

“Good night.” His low and hoarse voice entered her ears, just like his embrace, making her feel at ease.

In an apartment, there was the sound of something being smashed. Even the door and windows shook.

The setting sun shone through the gauze curtains into the living room, causing the broken glasses to reflect light.

Su Tian, who was squatting on the carpet, vented her anger and started to call He Qi, but no one answered.

She couldn’t find him for four consecutive days, and her card had been frozen by Gu Quan. It was really annoying.

She stared at the remaining 20,000 yuan and tightened her grip on the phone, as if she wanted to crush it.

At this moment, a vibration came from her phone.

She came back to her senses and answered Xiao Song’s call. Her ferocious face was no longer there. “What do you want?”

“Downstairs.”

Xiao Song waited downstairs for ten minutes.

He held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the woman beside him impatiently. His tone was cold. “I hope you won’t keep me waiting so long next time.”

...

“Sorry,” Su Tian apologized obediently.

She sat meekly beside him. At the thought of not having money, she moved closer to him. “Song, I only have twenty thousand yuan left.”

“What did you call me?”

“Master.”

Fortunately, she changed her words quickly. Otherwise, Xiao Song’s expression would have become even colder. “Gu Quan didn’t give you money?”

“He froze the card.”

“So you went through all this for nothing?” He raised his eyebrows, and a teasing smile flashed in his eyes.

Su Tian felt extremely uncomfortable. “Yes, can you transfer some money to me?”

“How much do you want?”

“Fifty or sixty thousand.” She didn’t dare ask for too much at once, in case he became suspicious of her. “I want to buy clothes.”

Xiao Song was not stingy with money.

...

He transferred the money to Su Tian. When the Land Rover drove to the boxing ring, he got out of the car and walked in first.

His meeting with Tian Peng this time was mainly to thank the group of people he had sent over. Otherwise, he would not have been able to open for business so quickly.

“We met again.” Tian Peng’s palm landed on Su Tian’s butt. He patted it twice and hugged the other women.

He pointed at Brother Dao who was sitting outside. “My brother fell out with his girlfriend. Why don’t you go out and accompany him?”

Su Tian knew what accompanying meant. She turned to look at Xiao Song.

“Go.” Xiao Song instructed expressionlessly.

Su Tian obediently left the private room and walked down the dark stairs to the sofa close to the boxing ring.

She took off her coat and sat down beside Brother Dao, saying seductively, “Can I have a drink with you?”

Brother Dao asked his lackeys behind him and learned that she was sent by Tian Peng. Only then did he lower his guard.

He clinked glasses with Su Tian. Seeing that she kept moving towards him, he had no intention of stopping her. “What’s your name?”

She replied with a smile, “Su Tian.”
