Exquisite!
It was a sight that could make a man’s head spin, his blood rush.
The temperature in the room climbed steadily.
The only sounds were their two sets of breaths.
Lu Chengfeng could only struggle to rein in his urges.
It was only his first day undercover, and Wen Lanlan was still half-believing, half-doubting.
If he showed his true colors now, he would only scare her away.
He had to wait for things to take their natural course.
But while he could control his thoughts, his body's reactions were harder to suppress.
As Lu Chengfeng continued the massage, he secretly prayed that Wen Lanlan wouldn't turn around.
If she did, his cover would be blown.
"Let me ask you, do you remember what I said to you five days ago, when you left home?" Wen Lanlan asked suddenly, still lying on her stomach.
Her words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Lu Chengfeng and pulling him back to reality.
Lu Chengfeng looked down at the dazzling white form before him, a chill running down his spine.
Damn it, it’s not like I’ve taken over Lu Songwen’s body!
How the hell would I know what you two talked about five days ago!
"Well? What I said to you then, have you thought about it?" Wen Lanlan pressed, turning her head to the side.
Lu Chengfeng sighed, pulled his hands back, and sat on the edge of the bed by Wen Lanlan’s fair, delicate feet.
"I... I'm already trying to change," Lu Chengfeng said softly, his head lowered.
Lu Chengfeng figured that Lu Songwen was weak, incompetent, and constantly bullied by the other bosses in the group.
Coupled with his physical inadequacy, there was no way a goddess like Wen Lanlan could stay with him.
His running away from home five days ago to drink his sorrows away by the sea was most likely due to relationship problems.
So, Lu Chengfeng could only steer his answer in that direction.
Wen Lanlan sat up, turned to face Lu Chengfeng, and said gently, "So you ran away from home that day... because I brought up divorce?"
*Phew...*
Lu Chengfeng breathed a silent sigh of relief.
He’d bet on the right horse.
A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Lu Chengfeng’s face.
"Sometimes I think, A Lun was right. If a man can't give a woman happiness, it's better to let her go."
Lu Chengfeng had no idea if the real Lu Songwen was willing to divorce Wen Lanlan or not.
So, his words didn't rashly state a position on the divorce, but instead allowed him to continue drawing information from Wen Lanlan.
"And you still killed him!" Wen Lanlan kicked Lu Chengfeng’s butt with her fair, delicate foot.
"He tried to kill me first," Lu Chengfeng said, his slender eyes looking at Wen Lanlan with gentleness.
Wen Lanlan suddenly felt her eyes sting.
She knew her husband was still very attached to her.
And she, too, had married him out of love. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
With a nasal tone, Wen Lanlan said, "Songwen, it's not that I'm materialistic and can't stick with you, but I just can't live like this anymore."
"Back then, your father was one of the Five Tigers of the group, holding the best territory in Chengzhong. The other four bosses, including the group's leader Dou Ye, wouldn't even dare to speak loudly to him!"
"Everyone on Donghai Road showed him respect! He was so formidable."
"But look at the state you're in now."
"You're in this life, but you have no underlings, no money, and your territory is about to be completely snatched up by the other bosses—"
"I don't even dare to go out all day! I'm either laughed at or harassed by those sleazy, rotten bosses of the group!"
"Especially the guys from the Chengnan Jiucheng Gang. They're all worse than animals, always eyeing me. If I ever fell into their hands..."
"Being with you... I don't feel safe at all!"
After speaking, Wen Lanlan wiped away her tears, feeling utterly wronged.
Lu Chengfeng immediately seized the opportunity to lay the groundwork. "But didn't I tell you? I've thought it all through after soaking in the sea for two days and two nights!"
"Starting with killing A Lun, I'm already changing!"
"I'm going to get more and more aggressive, my power will grow, and you'll be here to see it all—"
Wen Lanlan said resentfully, "Let's not even talk about whether you can actually grow your power."
"Even if you really did become all-powerful, so what? That... that thing of yours is still useless!"
"I'm only 25 this year. I'm a living, breathing woman!"
"There's a kind of happiness a woman needs that power and status can't make up for."
"We... should just get a divorce!"
Just then, a commotion erupted from downstairs, and the door was slammed open with a bang.
"Boss, Sister-in-law, the guys from the Chengnan Jiucheng Gang are here to cause trouble!" Tian Ji's pained voice came from below.
Hearing this, Wen Lanlan immediately threw on her clothes and got out of bed.
A savage grin spread across Lu Chengfeng's face.
Talk about perfect timing.
"They're here!"
...
Downstairs in the living room, Tian Ji and Xiao Liu had been beaten to the ground.
Da Nao, the burly, bald leader from the Jiucheng Gang, had already walked into the living room with nine of his men.
Due to their line of work dealing with second-hand motorcycles and old air conditioners, the clothes of several of the thugs were stained with thick, black grease.
The originally fresh and elegant living room was instantly filled with the stench of sweat and motor oil.
Lu Chengfeng held Wen Lanlan's hand and gracefully walked to the sofa.
When these crude thugs from the Jiucheng Gang saw the elegant and noble Wen Lanlan, their breathing quickened.
*City women are so fair!*
*The boss's wife is so hot!*
*We have to take her!*
Wen Lanlan turned her head away in disgust, tightly gripping Lu Chengfeng's hand. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Lu Chengfeng looked at the bald man in the lead and said, "I remember you. You're one of Ai Jiao Hu's four top enforcers. What was your name again..."
"Da Nao."
The bald man looked at "Lu Songwen" with some surprise.
*He seems a little different than before.*
But the boss's wife was holding her own husband's arm.
So Da Nao didn't give it much more thought.
"Oh. Da No-good."
"It's Da Nao! Not Da No-good! Fucking hell! Are you deaf?!" Da Nao's face turned sinister.
"Close enough." Lu Chengfeng glanced at Tian Ji and Xiao Liu on the floor and asked, "Why did you hit my men?"
Da Nao said flatly, "We wanted to talk business with you. They wouldn't let us in, so we had to fight our way in."
Lu Chengfeng smiled. "Come to talk business with me?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to talk about acquiring my Da Fuhao Bathhouse?"
"First, you had Zhang Yongguang shut my place down, trying to force me out."
"But it turns out Zhang Yongguang couldn't keep it shut, so now you're here in the middle of the night to rob me in broad daylight?"
Da Nao let out a vicious laugh. "You've got some brains, I'll give you that! So, can we talk or not?"
After speaking, Da Nao glanced at the nine men behind him.
The nine men stared menacingly at Lu Chengfeng.
Two of them even started tapping their machetes on the coffee table, creating a series of jarring noises.
It was a threat.
And an ultimatum.
Lu Chengfeng smiled. "We can talk. Of course, we can talk!"
Da Nao sneered, "I didn't think you'd dare say no!"
With that, Da Nao and his men prepared to sit on the shiny, high-end black leather sofa.
"Don't sit!" Lu Chengfeng said suddenly.
Da Nao and his men froze, their asses hovering in mid-air.
Lu Chengfeng slowly sat down, crossed his legs, and gestured elegantly with his hands. "I'll sit. You'll stand while we talk."
What!
Hearing this, the faces of Da Nao and his men instantly turned ferocious.
Lu Chengfeng leaned back elegantly against the sofa and said coolly, "I, Lu Songwen, am one of the Five Tigers of the Qiangsheng Group in Donghai City! I'm on the same level as your boss, Ai Jiao Hu!"
"And you are merely Ai Jiao Hu's lackeys and grunts!"
"So, in terms of seniority, I am the elder, the boss."
"You are the underlings, the juniors!"
"Does this fucking gang have any rules anymore?!"
"What fucking right do you have to sit and talk with me as equals?!"
