Rose Lock - Chapter 63
“Break up?” The woman sitting in the VIP box sneered, then tilted her head back and took a sip of the red wine in her tall glass. The followers beside her exchanged glances, seeing her in a bad mood. Long Zi, the leader, cleared his throat twice and dismissed the few unrelated people chatting in the box. He stepped forward and said, “Big Sister, this girl is too ungrateful. How dare she propose breaking up with you? I’ll just—”
“What do you want to do?” The woman put down her wine glass, her tone seemingly casual.
“This, I’ll take the brothers and teach her a lesson!” Long Zi gestured with both hands. The box fell silent. He suddenly turned around and met a pair of dangerous, languid, phoenix-like eyes, and the cold barrel of a gun.
“Boss… I was wrong, please spare me…”
“Long Zi, your father is an elder in the gang, and you’ve followed me for a couple of years. Why are you so lacking in judgment today, huh?”
“You dare to touch my person?”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Boss, even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn’t dare. I was wrong.” Long Zi’s heart trembled. Big Sister had always been strict, but very good to her brothers, rarely getting angry. Today, she was actually angry over an ungrateful girl, and even pointed a gun at him for her. What was going on?
“Just know it. Be more respectful to your sister-in-law in the future, and don’t let me hear you threaten to hit her again.”
The woman stood up and walked out. The butler beside her took the gun and put it in a bag. She then instructed, “Go and deliver a message to Boss Chen. Tell Jiang Yin to go on a business trip to Qinghe County tomorrow.”
Clack, clack, clack… The sound of high heels on the marble floor got closer and closer. Jiang Yin fumbled for the room key card in her purse. There were many miscellaneous items in the bag. Just as she finally found it and was about to open the door, the footsteps behind her also stopped.
The owner of the voice laughed softly and asked, “Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit?”
Jiang Yin paused, then composed herself and smiled gently, “I’ve been busy with work all day and I’m very tired. Please be sensible, Miss Self-Invited. I don’t want to receive you.” She emphasized the pronunciation of ‘sensible’ and ‘receive,’ suggesting that her heart was soaring after the breakup.
Gong Shulan looked at her ice-cold face, forced down the anger in her heart, but her mouth remained shamelessly persistent, “What a coincidence, I’m also exhausted from work every day. All who meet by chance are guests. Miss Jiang, you look like a well-educated and proper person. Inviting me in to sit won’t take much time. It’s only seven-thirty in the evening. Are you going to bed already, Miss Jiang?”
Jiang Yin couldn’t argue with her. If she retorted, it would probably never end. This woman never failed at what she set out to do. Arguing more would be fruitless, so she agreed.
The breakup and blocking were her unilateral actions. This woman endured it for five days and finally came to her door. Since she couldn’t avoid it, she might as well make things clear and end it completely.
The Liyuan Hotel in Qinghe County was located in a wealthy scenic area, not far from the police station, not her bandit’s lair. If she dared to do anything out of line, she’d make sure she got into trouble.
“Come in, but don’t play tricks. I’ve already made myself very clear.” Jiang Yin did not want to cater to this female bandit anymore.
Jiang Yin turned the doorknob, inserted the key card, and prepared to put down her bag. The door behind her slammed shut. The room, which had just been lit by bright light, instantly plunged back into darkness. Jiang Yin turned around, only to see a black fox transform into a hungry tiger and pounce on her. The two of them fell onto the soft large bed together.
“Gong Shulan! Let go of me… Wuwu…”
She instinctively resisted, but the struggle only bound her tighter. The woman pressing down on her forcefully trespassed into her territory. Lips and teeth intertwined, and her form-fitting dress was expertly lifted and stripped off. She reached with her left hand for the fruit knife hidden under the pillow, but the other woman snatched both her hands, gathered them, and tied them tightly with a rope conjured from who knows where, ed above her head.
In the darkness, sharp fingernails traced every part of her face, and scorching kisses fell on the corresponding skin. Jiang Yin trembled with anger, closing her eyes tightly. Remembering that she couldn’t expose her fighting skills, she could only keep turning her face away to dodge, but the next moment, the woman’s long, jade-like fingers pinched her chin, leaving her nowhere to hide.
“Have you kissed enough? If you have, untie the rope on my hands.”
“Hmm…” Gong Shulan chuckled, leaning close to Jiang Yin’s ear, exhaling as she said, “I can never kiss my wife enough.” She kissed her for a bit longer, then realized she shouldn’t make her angry, and replied, “I’ll take care of the business, and then I’ll cut the rope for you.”
Jiang Yin sneered, mocking her, “Gong Shulan, you really hold a grudge. You’re even using your long fingernails to torment me while having a breakup pao.”
“Nonsense. You’re my wife, not some random nobody off the street.” Gong Shulan sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. Right in front of Jiang Yin, she used nail polish remover to strip off all her nail polish. She shook her hand and smiled, “Look, wifey, the glitter is gone.”
“Who’s your wife? Don’t call me that. I’ve already broken up with you.”
“I never agreed,” Gong Shulan smacked the pillow and placed it under Jiang Yin’s waist. The fruit knife that was originally under the pillow immediately revealed itself.
Jiang Yin felt a bit awkward, but Gong Shulan gave her face, tossing the fruit knife onto a chair. “Wife, there’s no need for the fruit knife to cut nails. If I accidentally cut my hand, how am I supposed to serve you? If I cultivate you with a work injury, shouldn’t you compensate me, hmm?”
“Shut up!” Jiang Yin felt a fire burning in her stomach, provoked by Gong Shulan’s shameless, crude talk. She felt ashamed and angry, remembering this wicked woman’s past behavior, yet she couldn’t help but react to her teasing. She was furious at her own powerlessness.
The scene shifted to the bathroom. Gong Shulan, while assessing her according to the standards of Jinjiang’s review process, endlessly spouted suggestive remarks. Jiang Yin knelt before the sink, looking at her flushed and marked reflection in the mirror. She realized with difficulty that it might be hard for her to leave this woman. She always had endless energy to warm, possess, and love her body and soul.
After an unknown amount of time, Gong Shulan still didn’t take it to the final step. Sleepiness overcame lust. Jiang Yin mumbled that she wanted to sleep and, ignoring Gong Shulan, turned over and drifted off. Gong Shulan softly whispered goodnight in her ear and held her while she slept.
