Chapter 21: The Silly Woman

It took a good hour and a half before the pair of lovers, who had been rolling around on the large bed for quite some time, finally found respite. They covered the messy bed with a sheet, cuddling together.

Rose seemed to still be lost in the aftermath of ecstasy, leaning against Yang Chen's chest, her two ample breasts pressed together, creating a captivating sight.

As a woman drenched in the rain of pleasure, she appeared even more enchanting. One of her hands lightly scratched Yang Chen's strong chest, and she said with a hint of coquetry, "Doing this is so tiring. Maybe we shouldn't do it again."

"Suit yourself," Yang Chen embraced the fragrant shoulder of the beauty in his arms and smirked. "If you don't want to, I can find other women to do it with."

"You heartless man! Just finished with me, and you're already thinking about other women!" Rose sighed helplessly and playfully slapped Yang Chen, but then curiosity sparked in her eyes as she asked, "By the way, why did you come to me today? It can't be just for... you know..."

Yang Chen reached out and pinched Rose's tender cheek. "You can say it is, or you can say it isn't."

"What do you mean?" Rose considered herself clever, but she had never been able to decipher what was going on in her beloved man's mind.

Yang Chen got up from the bed, rummaged through his pants, and took out a pack of cheap cigarettes. After lighting one and blowing a few smoke rings with enjoyment, he relaxed and smiled. "The reason I say it is, is because you indeed attracted me. Um... I've been wanting to devour you, my little lamb delivered right to my door. However, you know, because of your complicated background, eating you would also disrupt my normal carefree days. So, I could only watch and not make a move."

Rose nodded somewhat dejectedly. "I understand. You don't want to get involved in the conflict between the Western District gangs, and I'm the leader of the Red Begonia Society. Being with me means going against the entire Western Alliance. Naturally, you wouldn't accept me. But now... could it be that you're planning..."

Seeing Rose's hesitant expression, Yang Chen chuckled. "You don't have to think too much. You're right. For certain unsavory reasons, I've developed quite a strong aversion to your father's Western Alliance. Or you could say that certain people in the Western Alliance have made my life a bit troublesome. I think instead of constantly evading, it would be better to make the entire Western District your territory. It might require some effort and there could be various complications, but..." At this point, Yang Chen greedily glanced at Rose's alluring and languid figure, licking his lips. "But by doing so, I can eliminate those bothersome pests and enjoy the company of a foolish woman like you. Why wouldn't I do it?"

Being called a "foolish woman" by her lover, Rose couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully. "So, that's the reason. It seems you've come to collect the deposit today..."

Knowing Yang Chen's intentions, Rose didn't ask him for specific details or feel too worried for him. At this moment, she had already determined that the confrontation between the two gangs in the Western District was coming to an end.

This was also why Yang Chen genuinely liked this woman. If it were merely about physical beauty, Rose would have been like any other woman he had slept with—a passing fling. However, Rose was clearly a woman who knew how to make a man feel at ease. He believed in Yang Chen's abilities. If there was something he didn't want to talk about, she wouldn't force him to reveal it. If Yang Chen wanted to tease her, she would play along as if she wanted to hear it. When Yang Chen didn't come to see her, she wouldn't disturb him without reason, quietly waiting for him in a tranquil place. And when Yang Chen did visit her, she would pour her passionate emotions onto him, letting him know how much she longed for him...

The more content Rose was with her modest role, devoid of desires and demands, the harder it was for Yang Chen to let her go.

In truth, Yang Chen would also think about it himself. The issue with Chen Feng was merely an excuse he used to convince himself. If things continued like this, even if the Western Alliance hadn't caused any trouble for him, he would still wipe them out for the sake of Rose, his confidante.

After sharing an intimate kiss for a while, the sky outside had darkened, and the city lights gradually brightened.

Yang Chen checked the time and decided not to linger. He got up and started putting on his clothes.

Rose initially wanted to help but as soon as she thought of standing up, the pain between her legs made her furrow her brows. Biting her lip, she complained, "It's all your fault. Look, I'm swollen."

"Uh..." Yang Chen awkwardly smiled. "I thought everything was fine since you weren't bleeding. Are you saying it's your first time?"

Rose's face turned pale with anger. "I accidentally broke my 'maidenhead' when I was practicing martial arts as a child. What, do you think I'm promiscuous?"

"No, no, no..." Yang Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, my dear Rose, I just thought you were capable of taking care of your own needs. You're so tight down there that I can't even pull out. How could you call me promiscuous? Hehe..."

Upon hearing Yang Chen's explicit and embarrassing words, Rose couldn't help but laugh and feel annoyed at the same time. She decided to bury herself under the covers, refusing to look at Yang Chen any longer.

With a playful smile on his face, Yang Chen pulled up his pants and was about to leave when something suddenly came to mind. He asked, "My dear Rose, my wife wants me to find a job with better office conditions. I want to choose something more relaxed. I'm not familiar with the companies in Zhonghai, so which company do you think I should apply to?"

"Your wife!?" Rose quickly popped her head out, her eyes widening. "Since when did you have a wife?"

"Well, you see, there's this living Bodhisattva who always looks serious. I just got the marriage certificate today. I can't disclose the details, but the point is, I'm already married," Yang Chen said with a troubled shake of his head.

Rose's expression changed rapidly, and finally, she said with a hint of sorrow, "Although I never thought of being the primary wife, you didn't have to hit me like this. I've become the mistress so quickly."

"Don't you want to be the primary wife? Why not?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"Being the primary wife doesn't suit me. After all, I'm someone who lives in the darkness. I can't openly show my face with you all the time. And... I don't really look like the virtuous and motherly type, right, dear husband..." She finished with a charming wink at Yang Chen.

"You're just a little vixen," Yang Chen almost wanted to grab a gun again.

After a playful laughter, Rose seemed to not be overly concerned about Yang Chen's marriage. After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "If you like looking at beautiful women and want something relaxed, you can try applying to Yu Lei International. It specializes in the fashion and cosmetics industry and is considered a large company in Zhonghai, even in the whole country. I read in the news that their public relations department is hiring, and they don't limit the gender. I heard many men are eager to apply."

"The public relations department? Men applying?" Yang Chen suddenly realized something and then asked, "So it seems Yu Lei International has many beautiful women?"

"Yes, they have good benefits and great perks. Most importantly, Yu Lei International is known for having the most beautiful women in Zhonghai. After all, they are in the fashion and cosmetics industry. I think that's what you're looking for, my dear husband..." Rose gave him a look that said, "I still don't understand you completely."

Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction without any embarrassment. "Great suggestion, great suggestion. Salary doesn't matter much; the surrounding environment is what's important. Hmm... I'll go back and gather information and apply tomorrow."

After Yang Chen had been gone from the room for a while, Rose, lying on the bed, looked at the closed door and let out a soft sigh. Little did Rose know that after Yang Chen walked a short distance away, he also patted his chest and let out a relieved exhale. "That was close. Being a mistress is truly nerve-wracking."
