CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 165 I DID IT WITH A STRANGER YESTERDAY

The woman patted his door with her hand, crying out, "Xiao Mo, come out!"

"I know you’re inside... I know you’re with that woman..."

"Xiao Mo... Xiao Mo!" Her voice weakened as she called out, leaning against the door and slowly sliding down, then sitting on the ground.

She seemed to have drunk a lot, becoming a mess.

With interest, He Ye walked up and nudged her with his foot. She mumbled something, lifting her head to look at him through hazy eyes.

He Ye raised an eyebrow. This girl looks quite pretty. Doesn’t seem very old, right?

Another young girl abandoned early on and crying her heart out here.

He had never felt sympathies for women, only amusement. He crouched down and looked at her, "Why are you crying at my doorstep?"

She stared at him, her drunkenness making her look adorably foolish. He Ye thought she was reminiscing, but she raised her hand and slapped him.

"Xiao Mo... you bastard!"

He Ye was suddenly slapped, his smile vanished instantly. He grabbed her hands fiercely and cursed, "Crazy woman."

The one called Xiao Mo, must’ve been someone who lived here before?

"... You’re hurting me," she whimpered softly, twisting her wrist.

He Ye stood up, pulling her to stand as he fetched his keys to open the door, "Hurting? You’ll feel better soon."

A free little woman delivered to his door; he wouldn’t pass up on it. She looked so tender, probably still a virgin. He wondered if Xiao Mo had defiled her.

The girl leaned weakly against him, sniffling and murmuring, "Xiao Mo... you can’t abandon me..."

"Why would I abandon you?" He Ye replied cheekily.

The girl, confused and blurry-eyed, looked at him and said, "Then you... can’t associate with that woman anymore."

He Ye kicked open the door, lifted her up, walked inside, and closed the door, "Okay."

He strode to the bedroom, tossed her into the bathtub, and for the first time, patiently bathed a woman.

She mumbled continuously, he couldn’t make out what she was saying, nor did he care to.

He pulled her out of the water, eagerly threw her onto the bed, unable to wait any longer, he took her...

She shrank beneath him, weakly pushing him, crying out in pain.

He Ye smiled contentedly, gently kissed her.

A clean and obedient girl.

His first time with such a tender girl, it felt different, making him fascinated. He guided her to clumsily respond, yet she kept evading until she finally fell asleep...

The night also became amorous...

...

The next day, Gu Qimiao went to school early with Fang Shaobei. He Ye had an indicator on Gu Qimiao’s door, notifying him of any entry or exit.

The prompt woke him up, and he immediately sat up in bed, instinctively looking to the bedside. The woman had left?

If not for a spot of red on the bedsheet, he would have thought he had a [spring][dream].

Recalling last night’s excitement, he hadn’t felt so thrilled in a long time. He got up feeling refreshed despite sleeping for only a few hours.

Wondering where the girl went, he also questioned why his little sister-in-law was up so early.

Before leaving, he checked the room, found no trace of the girl, she left quietly without asking for money.

Gu Qimiao followed her usual routine, emerging from the elevator, heading to the bus stop.

Passing the courtyard downstairs, she noticed a girl sitting there early in the morning, she glanced twice, then felt a bit familiar and cautiously walked over, "Jiajia?"

The girl turned upon hearing, smiled through tears, "Miaomiao!"

Confirming she hadn’t mistaken, Gu Qimiao hurriedly approached, "Why did you come back to the country?"

Chen Jiatong wiped her tears, saying, "Miaomiao, I was deceived... Xiao Mo disappeared, he ran away with another woman."

"What happened? Weren’t you two getting married at the end of the year?"

"After I left the country, he must’ve been seeing other women, lying to me all along..." Chen Jiatong pointed at the building, "He lived here before, but he sold the house recently. Now I can’t find him, and I don’t know where to go... And..."

Gu Qimiao hugged her, "It’s okay Jiajia, you can stay at my place for now."

He Ye descended from the building, spotting the two women in the pavilion. He stopped, standing behind them.

These were the two women he needed to find? His little sister-in-law knew her? Could he have accidentally committed an unforgivable mistake? She was someone his little sister-in-law knew!

Gu Qimiao saw that she looked quite disheveled and led her towards her own home, "You go up and rest first. My brother is at home. I need to go to school, but I’ll be back soon."

The elevator arrived, and Jiajia whispered "Thank you." After the people inside left, the two of them entered, and Jiajia said, "Miaomiao, I slept with a stranger last night..."

"What?!" Gu Qimiao’s eyes widened.

"I was in a bad mood, so I drank. When I used to return to the country, I stayed at Xiao Mo’s place. I also went there last night. The landlord had changed, and he..."

"Which apartment is it? Hurry and call the police!"

"It’s useless. He’ll definitely say I trespassed. It’s so awful now..."

Gu Moming saw Gu Qimiao bringing a woman back and immediately frowned, "Didn’t get enough sponging off in Italy, now you’re back to sponge here?"

Chen Jiatong was a university classmate of Gu Qimiao. They met in their freshman year, both being Chinese, and joining the Chinese calligraphy interest group.

Gu Qimiao glared at Gu Moming, who realized something was wrong and didn’t say more. He grabbed his car keys and turned to leave, "I’m off then."

Gu Qimiao ignored him and poured a glass of water for Jiajia to drink.

Jiajia said, "You go to work. We’ll talk when you get back tonight. I also want to rest for a while."

"Okay. There’s food in that cabinet. The bathroom is over there. You can wear my pajamas; everything in the cabinet is clean. I’ll ask my brother to bring you lunch at noon."

Jiajia gratefully looked at Gu Qimiao, "No need. I’ll take a shower and sleep for a while. You go ahead. Come back early."

"Alright, don’t think too much. I’ll be back in the afternoon."

After giving a few more instructions, she left, actually quite worried that Jiajia might not be able to handle it all. She had gone through so much at once.

Time was running short, so she didn’t have time to wait for the bus. She grabbed a taxi downstairs and managed to make it to class on time.

Fang Shaobei’s class always had no empty seats; it was always full, with some students staying for the next class. Xiaoxiao was one of them.

She had classes all morning. After class, Xiaoxiao invited Gu Qimiao to lunch, but couldn’t go to the gallery due to other matters.

Following Xiaoxiao to a restaurant outside the school, they found Yang Hexuan there, sitting with a girl beside him.

Food had already been ordered. Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Qimiao to sit down and said, "You’ve met Yang Hexuan. This is his photography assistant, Xia Yan."

Gu Qimiao smiled slightly. With Xiaoxiao, you always met lots of people.

At the table, Yang Hexuan looked at Gu Qimiao and said, "Miaomiao, let’s schedule a shoot one day. I haven’t released a new work in a while. Let me take some photos for you."

Gu Qimiao gave a dry laugh, glancing at Xiaoxiao, who said, "Don’t worry, Gigi. Hexuan may seem unreliable, but he’s serious about his work. And if he eyes a model, he’ll keep pestering her until she agrees."

"But... I’m really busy lately."

"No worries." Yang Hexuan smiled generously and took out his business card, "Call me when you’re free. Don’t keep me waiting too long."

Out of regard for Xiaoxiao, Gu Qimiao accepted the card. After all, Yang Hexuan seemed unreliable on the surface, but being so young and having worked with so many big celebrities, he probably had real skills. Maybe he just seemed frivolous surface.

During the meal, Xia Yan hardly spoke, seeming like a rather introverted girl.

Before her afternoon class, Gu Qimiao called Gu Moming to bring some lunch and check on Jiajia. Though he complained, she knew he would go.

Shortly after, he called back, "I left my keys in the pants I wore yesterday. Where are you now?"

"You don’t have your keys? I’m at school, but I have class soon."

"I’ll come to the classroom to get them."

Gu Qimiao felt that disturbing a class was very improper, so she said, "Wait at the school gate. I’ll ask a friend to bring them to you."

Gu Moming hung up. He was probably already in the car.

Looking around, the only person she could ask was Xiaoxiao. Considering Xiaoxiao knew Gu Moming, she felt a bit uncomfortable. Would Gu Moming bully Xiaoxiao again?

With the class bell ringing "Dang Dang—", Gu Qimiao walked towards Xiaoxiao’s seat while taking the keys from her bag.

"Xiaoxiao, my brother is coming to get the keys later. Can you help take them to him?"

Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up and she nodded without hesitation, "Sure! I’ll go right now."

Gu Moming drove fast and arrived at the school quickly. He originally wanted to call and ask what kind of person Gu Qimiao had sent. Seeing Shen Qiaoxiao at the door, he immediately guessed it must be her.

Even before his car stopped, her eyes had been fixed on him. When he opened the door, she quickly walked over.

"Um... These are the keys Gigi asked me to give you."

Gu Moming glanced at her, took the keys, and without saying anything or lingering, he got back into his car and left, not even saying thanks.

Despite this, Xiaoxiao felt happy. At least she saw him.

Perhaps they weren’t from the same world. Even if she could see him from a distance, that was enough. People say that loving someone on tiptoes would eventually tire you out. But she didn’t even have the chance to stand on her toes.
