Xu Wendong shivered in disbelief as he looked at her, "What did you say? Does sneaking in the back door count as a union of Yin and Yang?"
Zhou Xiazhi nodded, her face turning red.
"No way..." Xu Wendong subconsciously swallowed, "Do you have such a peculiar preference?"
"Don’t talk nonsense." Zhou Xiazhi’s face was as red as a monkey’s bottom as she nervously said, "I have a boyfriend, and I don’t want to do anything that would betray him. I’ve also promised to give my first time to him."
"So, I’m in a dilemma because of this."
"But you can’t blame me."
"If you insist on the previous saying, that only a union of Yin and Yang can cure my illness, then fine. Even if I’m unwilling, I would accept that method."
"But the problem is, you didn’t do that. You gave me a glimmer of hope, so I thought about trying. If sneaking in the back door could cure my illness, it also wouldn’t be a bad idea." She said this and then nervously lowered her head, not daring to meet Xu Wendong’s eyes.
"Blame me, huh?" Xu Wendong wanted to cry but couldn’t, "Sis, you have to speak with conscience. I only saw that you were in pain and didn’t want to use that method to stay alive, so I tried to find other ways to help you, that’s all."
"Not only that, but I also paid a heavy price. You can’t blame me for giving you hope just because this method couldn’t eliminate your disease."
Zhou Xiazhi quickly said, "No, no, no, I didn’t mean to blame you. I just want to give my first time to my boyfriend."
Xu Wendong dismissed it, saying, "I understand your thoughts, but on this matter, how should I put it, betrayal can be physical and spiritual. Compared to the former, the latter is more unforgivable."
"As long as you see it as a treatment, it doesn’t count as betrayal."
"I understand all the reasoning, but I..." Zhou Xiazhi was full of agony, not knowing what choice to make.
Xu Wendong sighed, "Alright, alright, let’s not dwell on this matter. As for whether sneaking in the back door will work or not, I don’t know. I can only suggest that you give it a try."
Xu Wendong truly didn’t know if sneaking in the back door would be effective, but that wasn’t important.
He liked sneaking in the back door.
Although he’d only tried it with Huang Ruirui, it was quite thrilling.
"Can...can you give me a few days to think about it?" Zhou Xiazhi suddenly became anxious; she was still an untouched young maiden.
That kind of thing had a fear factor, let alone sneaking in the back door.
Especially since Xu Wendong was so intimidating.
She was a bit scared!
Xu Wendong said, "I’m heading back to Qingshan Village tomorrow. It’s not convenient to come to the city. If you decide, you can come to Qingshan Village to find me."
"Alright, I’ll come to find you after I’ve made up my mind."
After that, Xu Wendong left the hotel where Zhou Xiazhi was staying and took a taxi back to Shengjing Shanshui Villa District. However, he did not return to Villa No. 95.
Ever since his cousin suggested borrowing seed, he didn’t know in what capacity to live under the same roof with his cousin and sister-in-law.
Even though he didn’t go back to Villa No. 95, Shengjing Shanshui still had a place for him to stay.
It was late at night.
The villa district was exceptionally quiet.
Xu Wendong slipped into Yan Liuli’s villa like a ghost, leaping onto the second-floor balcony. Even the villa’s multiple surveillance systems didn’t catch sight of him.
The balcony door on the second floor was locked from the inside, but that was hardly a challenge for Xu Wendong. He released a strand of True Qi and quietly unlocked it, then entered the bedroom.
On the spacious double bed, Yan Liuli lay quietly, wearing a black lace nightgown. On the bedside table, a piece of fine agarwood emitted an enchanting aroma.
Moreover, on Yan Liuli’s face, Xu Wendong saw a palm-sized sheet marked with traces of his "remnants."
Seeing this, Xu Wendong smiled and approached, lying down beside Yan Liuli.
Perhaps she sensed something.
Yan Liuli woke from her dream, her eyes snapping open. Just as she was about to scream, a strong hand covered her mouth amidst her terror.
A familiar voice rang out, "I told you, doing that in a dream isn’t good at all. Let’s experience it for real!"
Yan Liuli was flushed. In reality, she was a knowledgeable and refined woman and couldn’t accept someone like Xu Wendong.
After all, he was about the same age as her daughter.
But before she could refuse, a searing heat tore through her body, flooding inside her, drawing from her an involuntary high-pitched moan.
Xu Wendong experienced the unique tenderness and affection of a mature beauty.
It confirmed the old saying,
As long as you make her comfortable, she won’t let you feel tired.
Yan Liuli leaned elegantly against the bedhead, smoking a lady’s cigarette. Her flushed cheeks testified to how relaxed and satisfied she had been earlier.
She gazed lovingly at the man beside her, the same age as her daughter, growing more fond of him the more she looked. She offered a passionate kiss, wrapping her arms around Xu Wendong’s neck, whispering tenderly, "Thank you for letting me experience the joy of the rest of my life!"
Xu Wendong chuckled, "Given our relationship, what should your daughter call me now?"
A hint of wistfulness crossed Yan Liuli’s eyes, "I know you harbor resentment toward Shuangshuang for forcing you into the Jianghu. Without her, you’d be living differently. But given the connection between us, why bicker with a child?"
Xu Wendong remained silent, marveling at the mystery of fate.
Had Yan Shuangshuang not used him to eliminate Zhao Sihai, he wouldn’t have been forced into the Jianghu, nor would he have become embroiled in its conflicts.
However, the facts proved,
Though he had no choice in the matter, he now enjoyed the life he led.
Moreover, carrying the burden of a blood sea vendetta, he knew he must enter the Jianghu someday.
"Wu Mei and the others propose integrating the four forces together. What are your thoughts?" Xu Wendong inquired.
Yan Liuli couldn’t help but ask, "Is that why you sought me out?"
"No, no, no, even without that proposal, I’d still come to you, to show you just how formidable I am!" Xu Wendong said, taking a puff from the woman’s lady’s cigarette.
It really was smoother than rough tobacco.
Having received the answer she wanted, Yan Liuli’s face creased in a faint smile. "Our fate was tied together with that project. Partnering now can only bring joy to our Shengpeng Group!"
Xu Wendong said, "Since you have no objections, then discuss the collaboration arrangements with Wu Mei!"
"But now, shall we get to the real business?"
Yan Liuli’s beautiful eyes revealed a hint of fear, "My dear, we’ve only rested for ten minutes, and you’re ready again?"
