He Qiaoyun said goodbye to the intermediary and left Weile City to negotiate supply orders for two fruit shops and also ordered a batch of fertilizer for greenhouse grapes to set fruit.
After finishing all that, a magnificent sunset appeared on the horizon, and she rode her bike home.
On the way back, my mind finally had a moment to think about the houses I had looked at today.
After eliminating houses that are too old, too new, too big, or too far away, only the one in Velo City remains.
But the afternoon sun made her hesitate.
She thought about it all the way home, and without hesitation, she texted the real estate agent: "Hey Li, I'll rent that apartment in Weile City. I'll go sign the contract tomorrow, a three-month contract."
So be it if she gets sunburned in the west. Anyway, she's always going back and forth between the city and the orchard, and by the time she gets home, the sun has already set, so she won't get any sun.
As soon as I entered the house, I received a message from the real estate agent: "Auntie, my colleague signed a contract for this apartment. They came up to see it right after we left and signed the contract on the spot. Why don't you consider the one in the urban village? It's a bit old, but it's a one-bedroom apartment, close to the market, which is very convenient for grocery shopping and cooking."
He Qiaoyun got goosebumps just thinking about the cockroaches lining the entrance as soon as she walked in.
Cockroaches are incredibly hard to kill. When you see one cockroach, it means there's another nest in the house, just hiding in the shadows.
She declined, saying, "Never mind, do you have any other listings? Could you recommend some?"
The real estate agent was very patient: "Okay, I'll look around some more tonight. Do you have time to see apartments tomorrow?"
He Qiaoyun pondered for a moment and replied: "Tomorrow afternoon, I have things to do in the morning."
After sending the message, she tossed her phone onto the sofa and went into her room to find some clothes.
She looked in the mirror and was very satisfied with the chiffon short-sleeved top paired with a skirt.
Despite her busy schedule and regular exercise and yoga practice, she maintains a very good figure without having to diet or lose weight. Her body is well-proportioned, shapely, and curvaceous.
She threw her clothes into the washing machine and went into the bathroom.
She took a nice, relaxing shower, and her dirty clothes were washed and dried. She packed them into her pre-prepared suitcase.
I've been too busy lately, so I need to pack my bags. Ideally, I should be able to just grab a bag and go, which would save me a lot of trouble.
After packing her things, she glanced at the time on her phone: seven o'clock. Feng Jiashu had said he would pick her up at seven-thirty; half an hour was enough time to blow-dry her hair and do her makeup.
When going out to eat, you should certainly present yourself in a presentable manner.
She doesn't wear complicated makeup; she just lightly dusts her face with powder and applies a light-colored lipstick—what the makeup artist calls "no-makeup makeup."
She looks naturally beautiful; straight men wouldn't notice.
She was quick and efficient. After finishing her makeup, it was still early, only 7:15. She was a little hungry and remembered that there were some leftover rice dumplings in the freezer. So she took them out and put them in the microwave to heat them up.
While waiting for the zongzi, her right eyelid suddenly twitched. She raised her hand to press her eyelid, and the next moment, there was a knock on the door.
She got up and walked cautiously to the door, asking somewhat warily, "Who is it?"
Xu Hui's voice came from outside the door: "It's me."
He Qiaoyun was displeased when she heard his voice and was reluctant to open the door for him, so she asked through the door, "What's wrong? Why can't you say it over the phone? Why do you have to come to my door?"
Xu Hui banged on the door twice and shouted, "It's hard to explain over the phone, so open the door first."
He Qiaoyun frowned slightly, still reluctant to open the door for him, and said, "Wait for me downstairs, let's talk outside."
It's not easy to get things done outside, so Xu Hui was naturally unwilling to do so. He pounded on the door, saying, "He Qiaoyun, open the door!"
The building wasn't very soundproof, and people lived on all four sides. He Qiaoyun was extremely annoyed by his banging on the door, but she still opened it.
"What do you want from me?!" She frowned, glancing at the large bag of groceries he was carrying. "What are you doing?"
Xu Hui glanced at her, but didn't respond. Instead, he stepped into the house, casually placed a bag of groceries on the table, and then looked around the one-bedroom apartment she lived in.
He Qiaoyun closed the door slightly, turned around and questioned him: "You came to see me, not to bring me vegetables, right? I don't need them. You should take them back to Wang Jinghuai and your daughter."
Xu Hui stood directly opposite her, his eyes scanning her up and down, his tone somewhat displeased, "Dressed up so nicely, are you going on a date?"
He Qiaoyun crossed her arms, adopting a haughty posture: "What does this have to do with you?"
Xu Hui approached her and said in a conciliatory tone, "Qiaoyun, what's so good about that man? If you leave him, I'll divorce Wang Jinghuai, and we can pretend nothing happened and live a good life together. I'll treat you well, okay?"
He Qiaoyun took a step back as he approached, her tone cold: "Xu Hui, don't be like this, it's ridiculous."
Xu Hui approached her step by step, saying in what he thought was a heartfelt tone, "Qiaoyun, I really know I was wrong. Actually, it's not entirely my fault. Blame that bitch Wang Jinghuai. She knew I was married, yet she still tried to seduce me. Everyone makes mistakes, you have to allow me to make mistakes..."
He Qiaoyun was forced to the edge of the sofa, lost her balance, and sat down with a thud.
Xu Hui rushed over, his voice urgent, "Qiaoyun, did you put on perfume? You smell so good..."
The difference in strength between men and women is too great, not to mention that Xu Hui's weight has never returned after he gained weight in middle age. With his hands on either side, He Qiaoyun couldn't push him away at all.
He Qiaoyun said coldly, "Xu Hui, we're already divorced. You have a wife and children, so don't go around acting like a jerk in front of me."
Xu Hui reached out and touched her face, whispering sweet nothings: "Don't mention that bitch Wang Jinghuai, Qiaoyun. You're still as gentle and beautiful as you were when you were young. Let me smell you, and we can have a good chat..."
He Qiaoyun crossed her arms over her chest. "Xu Hui, don't make me angry!"
Xu Hui wouldn't listen to anything else. "Qiaoyun, I know you still love me, and I still love you. I've thought things through these past few days. Tonight, let's talk it out and live a good life together from now on..."
After saying that, he rubbed his hand against He Qiaoyun's body, no matter how much she resisted and struggled.
Just as He Qiaoyun was feeling helpless, her phone, which she had thrown on the sofa, vibrated. Xu Hui, however, acted as if he hadn't heard it and began to take off his clothes with a lewd expression.
She struggled to pick up her phone from behind her back, glanced at the caller ID, and answered without hesitation, her voice urgent: "Room 503!"
Before he could even utter the words "Save me," Xu Hui snatched the phone away. He glanced at the contact name, decisively hung up, and tossed it onto the coffee table.
He Qiaoyun pushed him with all her might, but he didn't budge. She roared, "Get out! Get out!"
Xu Hui pinched her cheek and said in an angry and jealous tone, "He Qiaoyun, you fickle woman, fine, call him over, I'll let you, your boyfriend, see how I took you!"
As he spoke, he violently tore at his clothes.
He Qiaoyun panicked and pushed him away with both hands, "Xu Hui, wake up! We're not husband and wife anymore. It's illegal for you to force me..."
