Snow fell in the middle of the night, and the world glittered when the sun came up. North China was beautiful when all the dirt was hidden under a layer of white.
It was freezing cold outside but indoors was all warm and laden with sex.
“Hnnn…” Ye Xiaoqi looked down and brought her hands up to cover her face. She didn’t bother to cover her front anymore – she cried sadly.
Xia Lei was next to her being consoling and saying sweet words. “I’m sorry, Xiaoqi. I just love you too much. I couldn’t help myself. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility.”
“Boohoohoo… I’d never have thought that you were a person like this. You made me drunk, then slept with me. I… Boohoo…” Ye Xiaoqi started crying again before she finished her sentence.
Her crying produced no tears and the hands covering her face had gaps between her fingers where she could peek at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei pretended not to see and continued consoling the woman he had “slept” with. “Xiaoqi, do you want me to swear? All right, I swear to the Heavens that if I don’t take responsibility, I will get…”
Ye Xiaoqi abruptly covered Xia Lei’s mouth. “Don’t say that. I believe you. Katou, we’re already at this stage. I’m your woman now, so how can I let you swear something like that? If something bad happens to you then I won’t want to live either.”
“You’re such a good person, Xiaoqi,” said Xia Lei with a smile.
Ye Xiaoqi suddenly threw herself forward and hugged Xia Lei. “I love you, Katou,” she said passionately.
“The love I have for you is deeper than the sea.” Xia Lei felt the hair on his back stand.
Ye Xiaoqi’s hands started roaming, and her voice took on the quality of honey. “Katou, I was drunk last night. You satisfied yourself but I don’t remember anything at all. It’s unfair, isn’t it? Let’s do it again.”
“This…” Xia Lei had a problem.
Before he could answer, Ye Xiaoqi pushed him down on the bed and climbed on top of him. She was like a hungry rabbit which had discovered a carrot, gnawing at Xia Lei’s neck and chest as if she wanted to swallow him up.
Xia Lei was at a loss. ‘If I’d known, I would have put my clothes on and sit on the sofa to wait for her to wake up. What do I do now? What do I do?’
While he hesitated, Ye Xiaoqi went under the covers and Xia Lei’s brows went up seconds later.
Ding-dong went the room doorbell.
Xia Lei hurriedly extricated himself from Ye Xiaoqi’s servicing, almost vaulting out of the bed. He put his trousers on as he asked, “Who is it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Room service,” came the hotel staff’s voice. “The breakfast you ordered is here, Sir.”
“Tell him to send it in later,” said Ye Xiaoqi in annoyance as she stuck her head out of the covers.
“That’s not good. The food won’t taste good when it’s cold.” He opened the door for the hotel staff to come in as he spoke.
The hotel staff rolled the food trolley in. Xia Lei was already dressed.
Ye Xiaoqi pulled the covers tightly around herself and her face filled with disappointment. Even if Katou Takasuke was not a billionaire, he still was handsome and had a nicely-built body which was entirely delicious to Ye Xiaoqi. She had been about to get a good thing going when the doorbell had rung, so who could blame her for being disappointed?
The hotel staff left the room but Ye Xiaoqi couldn’t express her thirst for action when Xia Lei was fully dressed. This was a big fish which would guarantee her a life of luxury and riches, so she had to tell herself to take things slowly and not rush things. She got dressed after the hotel staff left the room.
She did not cover herself up while she was looking for her clothes to put on, and the stimulated Xia Lei could not hold back his basal instincts; a rather tall tent appeared in his trousers.
Ye Xiaoqi smirked when she saw Xia Lei’s reaction. “Look at you. Didn’t you have enough last night?”
Xia Lei chuckled. “You’re too intoxicating. I can’t ever be full. I’ll keep tasting you for life.”
“I’ll let you have your fill tonight,” said Ye Xiaoqi flirtatiously.
‘What excuse can I use to refuse her tonight?’ thought Xia Lei.
After breakfast, Xia Lei drove Ye Xiaoqi to Hanwu Weapons. He opened the car door for her, and waited for her to get out of the car before he asked, “My darling Xiaoqi, you said you would give me a recommendation. Can you let me know your recommendation today?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a very good recommendation, but you have to tell me what sort of weapons your client wants. How many?” said Ye Xiaoqi.
“This is a order worth USD 200,000,000. He’s mainly interested in assault rifles and grenades. My client is tired of the low quality of the AK47. It’s not accurate at all and most of the bullets miss the enemy targets. My client wants the best assault rifle and he is quite satisfied with the Chinese weapons quality and prices, so I’m here.”
“This is a huge order. I’ll talk to Chairman Ye about this and see what he thinks, then give you a quiet call and make my recommendation. How about this?” Ye Xiaoqi put on a flattering smile.
“Okay. You’ll be in charge of scouting out Hanwu Weapons, and I’ll take a look around Thunder Horse Military Factory,” said Xia Lei.
“You’re going to Thunder Horse Military Factory?”
“Yes, their XL2500 sniper rifle is the world’s most advanced. My client is very interested and I must go take a look,” said Xia Lei.
“All right. Wait for me to call.” Ye Xiaoqi drew close and put her arms around Xia Lei. She gave him a feather-like kiss on his cheek.
Some Hanwu Weapons employees hurrying to work were astonished by this scene. The Ferrari FF supercar and the handsomeness of Xia Lei made some of the female employees green with envy. They whispered amongst themselves – What luck did that bitch Ye Xiaoqi have to reel in a man of that standard?
Ye Xiaoqi kissed Xia Lei in front of everyone with the aim of showing off. Under her colleagues’ watchful eyes, she swayed her hips and strutted into the Hanwu Weapons building like she was an international supermodel on the runway.
Ye Kun had been at work bright and early, and he was sitting at his desk reading the newspaper.
“Why are you so early today, Chairman Ye?” Ye Xiaoqi greeted him, but she still cursed him inside. ‘You fat pig. Why are you still alive? The world isn’t fair.”
Ye Kun smiled. “Ah, it’s Xiaoqi. You came at the right time – make me tea.”
“Yes.” Ye Xiaoqi went to make the tea and she spat in it before she served it to him.
Ye Kun nodded. “Xiaoqi, I am grateful to you. Don’t worry, I will promote you when there is an appropriate opportunity to do so. As for your performance… That depends on yourself.”
He seemed to mean something else.
Ye Kun’s gaze had gone to Ye Xiaoqi’s full buttocks as he spoke.
Ye Xiaoqi was the type of women who knew what he meant by that and she would have accepted his advances too, if “Katou Takasuke” had not turned up. When she compared them now, however, it was like comparing a nag and a pedigree horse. She wouldn’t even consider Ye Kun worth it because she had Katou Takasuke, much less be Ye Kun’s plaything.
Ye Kun thought Ye Xiaoqi was testing his resolve, so he reached over slowly for her thigh. Ye Xiaoqi’s legs under her office skirt were wrapped in flesh-coloured stockings, smooth and full; he’d wanted to play with them for a while now.
Ye Xiaoqi suddenly took two steps back. “Ahem, Chairman Ye, let’s talk about some business.”
“You want to talk business with me?” Ye Kun seemed mad. “Are you thinking of quitting?”
“Chairman Ye, I made a huge contribution to the company and you want me to resign?” She got mad too. “Chairman Ye, aren’t you afraid that I’ll go over to Thunder Horse Military Factory now and talk to Xia Lei?”
“Heh heh.” Ye Kun made two dry laughs. “I was just kidding, Xiaoqi. Don’t take it seriously. Come, tell me, what business do you want to talk about?”
“My boyfriend is in the arms business. He has a client from the Middle East who wants to purchase USD 200,000,000 of assault rifles,” said Ye Xiaoqi. “My boyfriend was going to go to Thunder Horse Military Factory but I work for Hanwu Weapons, so I’m going to convince him to buy from us, of course. Now, I’m not sure if I should tell him to buy from Hanwu Weapons…”
“When did you get a… a boyfriend like this?” Ye Kun was surprised.
Ye Xiaoqi spoke smugly. “Can’t I have a boyfriend like this? He is Japanese, and his name’s Katou Takasuke. Oh, right, he’s on his way to Thunder Horse Military Factory now.”
“What’s he going there for?” Ye Kun could not stay seated anymore and he got to his feet anxiously. “Hurry up and invite him here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYe Xiaoqi took her time to say, “Invite him here?”
“How can we let Thunder Horse Military Factory get a USD 200,000,000 contract? Their company will grow stronger if Xia Lei gets this contract. Call your boyfriend to come over right away. I want to talk with him.”
“About that…” Ye Xiaoqi started to say something, then stopped.
Ye Kun seemed to understand what she was thinking and he smiled and said, “How about this, Xiaoqi. If you can get this order for Hanwu Weapons then I’ll give you 2,000,000 as a reward.”
“You’ll keep your word?”
“Yes. We can have it written down too,” said Ye Kun.
“No need for that. I’ll call my boyfriend right now.” Ye Xiaoqi took out her phone and called the number Xia Lei had given her that morning in the Hilton Hotel.
The voice of “Katou Takasuke” came from over the line. “What is it, Xiaoqi?”
“You’re not at Thunder Horse Military Factory yet, are you?”
“No. I don’t really know the roads here. I think I took a wrong turn. Ay, I should have taken you with me.”
“No need to go there anymore. Come to Hanwu Weapons. Chairman Ye wants to meet you.” At that point, Ye Xiaoqi lowered her voice. “I’ll let you in on a secret – you’ll get the same assault rifle even if you go to Thunder Horse Military Factory. However, Hanwu Weapons has greater production capability and will take less time to complete orders.”
“Eh? Why’s that?”
“You don’t have to bother about that. I’ll tell you another time.” Ye Xiaoqi kissed the phone. “Hurry, I miss you.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Ye Xiaoqi ended the call and said to Ye Kun, “My boyfriend’s coming over now. You have to give him a good price too, Chairman Ye.”
Ye Kun paused, then laughed. “You’re helping your boyfriend save money now, eh?”
“Of course. Half of the money he’s making now will be mine one day.”
Ye Kun silently cursed her for being a slut but chuckled as he said, “Haha, I’ll definitely toast you at your wedding.”
Meanwhile, a Ferrari FF supercar suddenly turned around on the road and headed towards the Hanwu Weapons building.
In the car, a smile appeared in the corners of Xia Lei’s mouth. “I’m coming, Ye Kun.”
