The Ex-Wife Of A Wealthy/Powerful Family Tempts Me To Treat Her Badly/Betray Her - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Only Counts When We Are in This Room.

Jiang Yu’s cigarette had also just burned out. After discarding the butt, she replied, “Sounds good.”

As she spoke, Jiang Yu leaned her hand on the table, adjusting her posture to be able to look directly at Rong Wei.

“Just talking dryly isn’t very interesting.”

“What would you like to drink, Ms. Rong?”

Jiang Yu was asking, but she was already picking up her phone.

Rong Wei: “Just go with your preference.”

Jiang Yu hummed softly, her fingers rapidly tapping the phone screen.

Rong Wei had nothing else to do, so her gaze naturally fell upon Jiang Yu.

She had a vibrant, striking appearance, which usually made her seem somewhat sharp. Yet, she understood the principle that being too rigid breaks easily. In many situations, she exhibited just the right amount of restraint—for instance, in bed, when she couldn’t take any more, she would softly try to please.

Rong Wei realized that she wasn’t like a rose; she was more like a resilient soft sword, possessing a strong vitality but always knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

Rong Wei watched the mark on Jiang Yu’s neck thoughtfully. After a moment, she heard Jiang Yu say, “I’ve asked someone to deliver a bottle of champagne.”

Rong Wei gave a faint nod.

Soon, a hotel staff member delivered a bottle of champagne. Jiang Yu took it and also grabbed two tulip glasses from the wet bar.

These three items looked particularly elegant in Jiang Yu’s hands.

Rong Wei’s eyes scanned the bottle in Jiang Yu’s hand: a Henri Giraud with gold foil on the cap.

This type of champagne had luxurious fruit aromas, resembling ripe yellow apple and pear, with an astringent, mineral quality on the palate.

Rong Wei happened to favor this type of champagne and complimented it: “The quality of the wine is good.”

Jiang Yu poured the wine, saying, “As long as you like it, Ms. Rong.”

The pale yellow liquid was poured into the tulip glasses. The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously sat back down on the sofa.

The leather sofa was slightly cool upon sitting. The lit floor lamp provided minimal warmth.

The atmosphere became increasingly enchanting and seductive.

Jiang Yu naturally leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and tilted her glass toward Rong Wei.

The glasses clinked, and the bursting bubbles made a faint sound in the air.

Jiang Yu didn’t want to wait for the champagne to breathe. She took a sip and went straight to the main topic: “You must be very busy with work, Ms. Rong. How about we set Saturday as a fixed day for our meetings?”

Rong Wei looked at the continuously rising bubbles: “We can, but I can’t entirely guarantee that I will have free time every Saturday.”

Jiang Yu: “I know. A big boss at your level certainly has a packed schedule. Just inform me in advance if you’re busy. I’m not that inflexible.”

After speaking, Jiang Yu noticed Rong Wei hadn’t reacted. She turned her head and unexpectedly met Rong Wei’s gaze.

The ice-blue pupils were particularly mesmerizing in the night.

Rong Wei only continued speaking after Jiang Yu turned to her: “Then let’s proceed with that for now.”

Jiang Yu nodded, took a sip of wine. The rich flavor exploded in her mouth, and she added: “You can rest completely assured. I won’t be curious about your identity or background, nor will I pry into your work situation. If you don’t trust me, we can sign an agreement.”

This person really loves signing agreements.

Rong Wei looked at Jiang Yu expressionlessly.

Jiang Yu didn’t find the look strange and continued: “As for health status, it might be a bit late, but if you require it, Ms. Rong, I can prepare a physical examination report for you.”

Rong Wei smiled, simply saying: “There’s no need. I trust Miss Jiang. As for the other point, I will also adhere to it and will not take an interest in your work or private life.”

“In short, our relationship only counts when we are in this room,” Rong Wei summarized.

Her voice was as gentle as ever, but it carried a sense of proper boundaries, clearly delineating the limits of their intimacy.

Jiang Yu liked Rong Wei’s attitude precisely because of this and immediately replied: “Exactly, that’s what I meant.”

“In that case, have we reached an agreement?”

Rong Wei: “Of course.”

“When should this relationship end?” Jiang Yu asked for Rong Wei’s opinion.

Rong Wei looked at her thoughtfully and gave a specific answer: “Three months, six months, or perhaps longer?”

Jiang Yu quickly weighed the options in her mind and decided it was acceptable.

“That works. If there are any changes by then, we can always negotiate.”

“Then, cheers to our pleasant collaboration?” Jiang Yu said, her voice lilting.

Rong Wei clinked her glass with Jiang Yu’s, responding: “Pleasant collaboration.”

After saying this, Jiang Yu fell silent, and the surroundings suddenly entered a peculiar state of quiet.

Suddenly, Rong Wei smiled: “Go to sleep.”

Jiang Yu nodded: “Good.”

At this moment, Jiang Yu felt great. Both physiologically and psychologically, she had attained immense satisfaction, and she returned to the bedroom with light steps.

Rong Wei remained still for a moment, watching Jiang Yu leave.

Only after Jiang Yu’s figure disappeared did Rong Wei stand up.

She stood by the window, swirling the glass, and slowly drank the wine.

Quite some time had passed, and the taste of the champagne had subtly evolved.

The intense fruit aroma had receded considerably, leaving the remaining flavors in delicate balance.

In the silence, Rong Wei suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

She thought for a moment, then took out her phone and, without surprise, saw a video call from her sister, Rong Shi.

Rong Wei surveyed the surroundings. After a while, she sat back down on the sofa and answered the call.

The face of the young woman appeared on the screen. She enthusiastically greeted her: “My dear sister, what are you doing right now? Remember to get some rest early, okay?”

Rong Wei smiled. The camera only showed half of her face.

She looked at the champagne glass in her hand and replied truthfully: “Just finished drinking champagne.”

“Is something the matter?”

“Nothing, I just finished getting ready and am about to go out with friends. Just checking what you were up to.”

Rong Shi spoke freely. Looking at Rong Wei’s side, she suddenly noticed that the background seemed a little different.

“Wait, Sister, why does it look like you’re not at home today?”

Rong Wei recalled her conversation with Jiang Yu earlier, her expression serene. She said calmly, “Something came up that I needed to handle, and it wasn’t convenient to go home.”

Rong Shi nodded and remarked with emotion: “You work so hard, Sister.”

Rong Wei: “Now you go and focus on your studies.”

While they were talking, another young woman’s voice came from Rong Shi’s end.

They must have been very close, as Rong Wei clearly heard the comment.

“Hey, Shi Shi, how did things turn out with your idol?”

Rong Shi replied naturally: “It was solved smoothly! I’m in a great mood today, so I decided to reward myself at the mall.”

Saying that, she turned her head and continued looking at the screen.

Rong Wei didn’t dwell on the topic of Rong Shi’s idol, only saying: “Go and have fun. I’ll transfer some pocket money to you from my private account later.”

The pocket money Rong Wei gave was always a considerable amount. Rong Shi’s eyes lit up, and she chirped, “Thank you, Sister.”

The video call ended, and silence returned to the room.

After a quick wash, Rong Wei returned to the bedroom. Looking at Jiang Yu lying on the bed, a smile unintentionally curved on her lips.

She wondered how many surprises she would still find in Jiang Yu within the confines of this room in the days to come.
