I initially thought that my family was blissfully content, but while I was pregnant, I found out my best friend and husband had been having an affair. My unborn child died in my womb, and I barely scraped my way back from the jaws of death. Out of revenge for that worst man and woman, I ended up in bed with their boss... I thought that after finishing my revenge, I could leave with an easy mind. However, to my surprise, that cunning boss wouldn't let me go...
I never thought my marriage would turn out like this.
My name is Qiao Ran, and my husband, Zhao Feng, was my classmate in college. Many people say that the season of graduation is also the season of breakups. However, on the day we received our diplomas, Zhao Feng kneeled down and proposed to me in front of our classmates and familiar teachers.
With tears of joy, I accepted.
I thought we would happily grow old together. But this wish turned into a joke when he cheated on me.
By then, I was six months pregnant. Because of an accident, I lost the child. I just barely made it past death's door, but he didn't care about me. Even worse, he had given me a huge gift - he was having an affair with my good girlfriend.
It was like these adulterers had forgotten about my existence. As they silently moved their extramarital affairs from outside inns to the large bed at home, I decided to take revenge.
I've had enough and I won't endure anymore.
I will give them back the humiliation and pain they gave to me!
After thinking and planning, I set my sights on the boss of the adulterous couple - Gu Yuyang! I forgot to mention, they both work in the same company.
If I could sleep with their boss successfully, I would firstly be able to regain my dignity. Additionally, I might be able exert some influence over him so they lose their jobs. After all, Zhao Feng invested a lot of effort to secure his position as the Sales Director. Changing companies would mean starting from scratch for him. And in the whole A city, the compensation and benefits at the Gu Corporation are top-notch.
After finalizing the plan, I began to observe every few days and bought various beautiful clothes and ornaments with the supplementary card Zhao Feng gave me.
Finally, three months later, I found an opportunity.
Zhao Feng's company was having a cocktail party, and I learned in advance that family members could attend. As Zhao Feng's wife, I sneaked into the cocktail party location early.
And the adulterous couple had no regard for decency, they were blatantly being intimate in a dark corner, whispering and giggling at each other, they were all but attached at the hip.
I scornfully watched the two, and then turned my attention to the handsome man being surrounded by the crowd - Gu Yuyang.
"The Gu family is indeed wealthy and opulent, even a celebration banquet is held with such grandeur."
I tilt my head back and finish the wine in my glass, looking at the employees' wives at the table, chatting away while they eat in pairs and threes.
"Yes, yes, I heard that many big company bosses have come!"
"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so young and successful. Sigh, my unambitious husband is still a small employee. If I were ten years younger, I definitely wouldn't let such a prime piece of fresh meat slip away!"
Silently listening to their chatter, my glass of wine is filled again and again, and then emptied time after time...
Some say the most poisonous creatures are women. I'd add a caveat to that. Women who have been deeply hurt are the real venomous ones; their cruelty is only a means of self-protection.
I've lost count of how many glasses of wine I've had. All I know is that the banquet has ended and everyone has started leaving. It seems as if I'm the only one left, staggering about.
Though my steps have grown haphazard, I'm completely conscious.
The Gu family didn’t only book the banquet hall on the first floor - they also prepared rooms for guests to rest and stay the night.
Taking the elevator, I reach the hotel's seventh floor and find room 701 along the wall.
Standing at the door of the room, I hesitate but do not dare to knock and go in. The thoughts of retreat in my heart are overridden by revenge.
I pull out the room card, which I had painstakingly prepared ahead of time when I learned that Gu Yuyang would be staying at the hotel.
Room 701, Gu Yuyang's exclusive room at this hotel.
I tiptoe my way in.
There he is, with his sword-like handsome eyebrows and radiant face, revealing his sturdy chest, lying on the bed in a drunken stupor.
"Mr. Gu?" I stretched out a finger and nudged him.
He turned to look at me, his deep eyes full of bewildered affection.
I hesitated for a moment, thinking of my purpose for coming tonight, and then without any hesitation, I hooked my arm around his neck, kissing his inviting thin lips.
He didn't seem to resist my sudden move, instead, he pinned me under him, passionately returning the kiss.
A good start accounts for half of the success.
At this time, I finally got my wish and climbed into the bed of Gu Yuyang, the CEO of Gu Corporation.
I woke up very early the next day, as I was thinking about how I was going to square off with Gu Yuyang, I did not sleep deeply.
At this time, I felt the naked man beside me stirring, so I quickly closed my eyes and feigned sleep.
After a long while, I heard a pleasant male voice coldly saying, "Wake up, wake up now!"
I put on the act of just waking up, stretched lazily, and opened my sleepy eyes.
"Ah!"
I glimpsed a little bit of 'spring' under the blankets, and I screamed uncontrollably.
The good-looking man in front of me was wrapped in a bath towel, half-naked, staring at me with discontent.
I quickly grabbed the blanket to cover my chest and shrank to one corner of the bed.
"You... Who are you?"
"I deliberately feign ignorance, the sudden fear rendering my speech stammered.
"What's wrong? Do you not recognize me after sharing the same bed just a while ago?"
I can't read any emotions on the man's face, nor can I guess what's in his heart.
I shake my head. "I... I don't know you!"
Then, I yell out in panic, "Where is this place, what did you do to me?"
The man stares at me, inching closer with a dangerous glare in his eyes.
I hastily wrap myself in the quilt, retreating to a corner of the room.
"That's a question I should be asking you. What have you done to me?"
Just as I was about to retort, he cuts me off.
"Oh? Mrs. Zhao."
