“We’re open for business. Giving free spas every time will incur a loss. Just apply for a card, then you will get discounts. We can make it our meet-up place in the future. What do you think?” said Mrs. Zhou. “I agree. We don’t lack money, after all.” “Lin Wan, what about you?”
“Sure, but I’m not free every day, though.”
“Great! Mrs. Li is on board! As long as you can make it some of the days, we’ll be happy. We know you have three children, and you have your livestreams. You’re pretty busy.”
“Let’s go to the clubhouse!”
“You all can go ahead. I’ll put my luggage in the house and come find you in a while,” said Lin Wan. She had been gone for a long time and hadn’t visited Royal Water Bay Villa in that time.
“Okay. We’ll wait for you. Hurry.”
When the ladies left, Lin Wan went inside. Auntie Huang poured her a cup of tea.
“Madam, it seems you are different with them now. In the past, you were so unwilling to spend time with them, but today, you agreed readily.”
Lin Wan smiled. “Yeah. I mean… I’ll probably see them more often. Other than you, Mr. Li, and the children, they’ll be the ones I will have to talk to. It’s better to get along with them. Besides, they seem like decent people.”
“Yes, Madam.”
“I’ll go up and drop my luggage in the room. I might not be having lunch at home.”
“I’ll help you.”
“It’s okay, Auntie Huang. You already did so much. You should take a break.” Lin Wan looked at the bedsheets and blankets drying in the yard. Auntie Huang must have arrived early to clean the house and everything.
“Oh, yeah… Li Yanchen is on a business trip and won’t be coming home tonight. Don’t make too much to eat.” Lin Wan went upstairs.
Lin Wan put down her luggage in the room, changed into something nice, and then left the house.
At the clubhouse, the ladies headed to the private bathroom to shower. After that, they were led into the common room where they could relax.
One of the staff was surprised. “Xiao Huan from the Sweet Little Circle? I know you! I loved the Black Pearl cake you made last time.”
Lin Wan smiled. “Thank you.”
“I didn’t know you visited this club. I’ll try to make it so that you have a good time here. My friends are your fans too!” Mrs. Zhou interrupted the staff. “You should be working.”
The staff lowered her head and left.
“Wanwan, you’re a celebrity now!” said Mrs. Zhou. “You have fans everywhere!”
“You should be careful, Wanwan,” said Mrs. Wang. “I don’t know if Mrs. Zhou’s staff care about personal space. There are only the three of us here, and then the staff. If word gets out you are here, it’ll probably be one of the staff.” Lin Wan ignored them and closed her eyes.
“Wanwan, I’m going to be honest. We are all women here, after all. My husband doesn’t come home every day.”
“Mrs. Han, you’re still so young. Why isn’t Mr. Han running home to you every day? For me, I think I’m close to menopause. What should I do? Will my old Wang find me less attractive?” Lin Wan pretended to sleep.
“Mrs. Zhou, what’s wrong?”
“The three of you can leave,” said Mrs. Zhou to the staff.
“Wanwan, you haven’t been at the Royal Water Bay for the past six months. You probably don’t know that Mr. Zhou had an affair… in his own home,” said Mrs.
Han.
Everyone had kept quiet about it because Mrs. Zhou hadn’t talked about it with anybody else.
Lin Wan turned around and opened her eyes.
She felt sorry for Mrs. Zhou. She realized that the other ladies must have gone through something like this at one point in their lives. They only wished for someone to love them dearly, and this is what they got in return.
“Mrs. Zhou, I’m in the same boat as you,” said Mrs. Wang.
Lin Wan couldn’t pretend to sleep after listening to the ladies talk about their struggles.
“Wanwan, your Mr. Li is simply the best. Everyone used to say when I was young that ugly people pull this kind of stupid sh*t. I didn’t believe them at first, but… Mr. Li is handsome, and he walks his own path. He doesn’t try to do stupid things. I mean… look at how he stayed true to himself despite the things
Ji Hanzhi did.”
“That’s right. Mr. Li rejects everyone. I have never seen him making side eyes with anyone. When she came to your house to make a scene, he just sent her to prison. He is a no-nonsense man and only has eyes for you. He truly seems to love you. If it was my husband, he would have happily thrown himself into her arms.”
Mrs. Zhou finally spoke. “Do you know what he said when I found him… like that? He said it was all my fault because I couldn’t keep him happy.”
The other ladies fell silent. They all had heard something like that from their husbands at some point in their lives. Men did not reflect on their mistakes. Instead, they blamed their wives for doing something like that as though it justified their actions.
“It was the same for me. He said the same thing.”
“Then why don’t you ask for a divorce?” asked Lin Wan. “It isn’t worth it to live with a man like that.”
“Do you think marriage in our culture is only between two people? The community will make our life hell. They will obviously blame us! There are so many implications for a divorce!”
“How do you do it, Wanwan? How do you make Mr. Li love you so much?” asked Mrs. Wang.
“I also want to know, Wanwan. People say that two people in love and in marriage get tired of each other after a while, but I see you and Mr. Li getting closer every time. Everyone says that Li Yanchen has changed so much. Even I noticed it. He used to be cold and aloof, but now, whenever I see him outside, he actually stops to greet me.”
Lin Wan told them about her life with Li Yanchen. She gave them small details.
“How often do you… do it?”
The question shocked Lin Wan. She was embarrassed to answer it. Her face turned red.
Mrs. Han gasped. “Don’t tell me… every day?”
“Oh my god… I’m so envious. How do you guys manage it every day?”
“I heard some people can go at it all night. Is that true for you, Wanwan?”
Lin Wan covered her face. “J-just… try the method I told you about.”
“It was the right choice to talk to you about it, Wanwan,” said Mrs. Han. “Maybe I’ll try to build a career first. If Mr. Han… does something stupid, I’ll at least have a backup. We should all try to find something to do to earn money..”
