Chapter 314: Can You Stay... Please?
Chen Rongrong's pretty face flushed, her eyes hazy. With her free left hand, she gently lifted her top, revealing a tempting expanse of pale skin to Zhao Dong.
"Rongrong, you... wait..." Zhao Dong started to speak, but she had already used her left hand to undo the clasp behind her back.
Staring at the scene before him, Zhao Dong was completely stunned.
With her face burning, Chen Rongrong gently took Zhao Dong's hand. "Brother Zhao... I want you to feel..."
...
...
Zhao Dong was utterly dumbfounded.
A violent tremor ran through Chen Rongrong's body, and a muffled groan escaped her lips as she collapsed bonelessly onto him. She was naturally stunning and had an excellent figure. Compounded by the alcohol, Zhao Dong's blood was running hot, full of youthful vigor. Such a potent stimulus was immediately too much for him to handle.
Chen Rongrong was also taken aback. She bit her lip, a single tear tracing a path from the corner of her eye. "Brother Zhao, I've decided..."
As she spoke, she began to move.
"Chen Rongrong, are you insane?" Zhao Dong's voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot.
But the cramped space offered him no room to resist. He could only watch as Chen Rongrong leaned down...
GASP!
A shiver shot through Zhao Dong's body. He scrambled to push her away, but his hand slipped and he accidentally grabbed her ponytail. She shot him a sultry look before actively leaning down again.
"NGH... MMPH..."
Chen Rongrong was nearly suffocating, but she didn't struggle, fighting back tears as she continued.
Zhao Dong's mind went completely blank. As he watched her, his consciousness seemed to fade.
After a long moment, another tremor ran through Zhao Dong's body.
Chen Rongrong staggered to her feet, then pulled a bottle of mineral water from her purse and rinsed her mouth. After she was done, she looked at Zhao Dong with a flushed face, her beautiful eyes swirling with complex emotions.
Zhao Dong's gaze was equally complicated. He finally sighed in resignation. "I'm not an idiot. Just tell me what your motive was."
In an instant, tears welled up in Chen Rongrong's eyes, her expression crumpling with countless grievances. Zhao Dong froze for a moment before letting go of her hand. She covered her face, tears streaming between her fingers.
He was bewildered and hurriedly tried to comfort her. "Hey, don't cry! Damn it, I'm not the one bullying you! You... Agh!"
Zhao Dong was at a complete loss. How had things gotten so absurd?
Chen Rongrong choked out, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry... This was my first time doing that with a man. It was even the first time a man has ever touched me..."
Zhao Dong's mouth twitched, his expression unreadable.
She continued sobbing. "Please forgive me for resorting to this... I know it's shameless. You must think I'm a terrible person, but I truly had no other choice... I didn't know what else to do... Only you... Only you can help me now..."
"Slow down. Tell me what happened," Zhao Dong said, helping her up and straightening her clothes.
"It's my parents... They... Someone broke their legs..." Chen Rongrong sobbed. "I came here this time hoping to get help from Young Master Ma, but he implied he wanted me to sleep with him. I... I couldn't do that..."
Zhao Dong was speechless. "So you decided to do this to me instead?"
"No... I..." Chen Rongrong stammered nervously. "I just felt like you weren't a bad person. If using my body was the only way to save my parents, then I... I would rather give myself to you..."
Zhao Dong could see that she wasn't lying. I never would have thought she was in such a tough situation.
"Tell me," Zhao Dong said. "Why were your parents' legs broken?"
"It was..."
Just as she was about to speak, an impatient voice yelled from outside the stall door.
"Hey! Did you fall in the toilet or something? Hurry up! There's a line out here!"
The urgent shouting made the situation between them even more awkward.
"What... What do we do?" Chen Rongrong asked, her face a mask of anxiety.
Zhao Dong shrugged helplessly. "It's already come to this. Let's just go out."
With that, he opened the door and led her out. The other people in the restroom were baffled, staring blankly as the two of them walked past. Zhao Dong ignored their gazes and left with Chen Rongrong.
As they walked away, Zhao Dong sighed. "You know, if you had just asked for my help, I might have agreed. You didn't have to do... what you did."
"You... you don't think I'm a loose woman, do you?" Chen Rongrong suddenly grew anxious and tried to explain. "I... I'd had a bit too much to drink, and... and I was really afraid you would say no..."
Zhao Dong felt a pang of awkwardness. What she said was true. If this hadn't happened, he would have been on his way to the Provincial City soon. He really might not have helped her.
When they returned to the table, the group was still drinking enthusiastically, completely oblivious to the tension between the two. Zhao Dong took his seat. Feeling awkward, Chen Rongrong sat across from him. Fortunately, he acted as if nothing had happened, allowing her to slowly relax and rejoin the lively atmosphere.
After three rounds of drinks, the alcohol was really starting to hit. The conversation had shifted from simple drinking to everyone complaining about their various troubles.
Just then, one of the women, the one wearing black stockings and a camisole dress, took a sip of her drink and said with a gloomy look, "Every family has its struggles. My family's jade business, for example, has been doing very poorly lately."
Jade? Many types of jade contain Spiritual Power, which makes them Spirit Stones. Her family is in the jade business... If I could get on good terms with her, wouldn't that give me another way to acquire Spirit Stones? Spirit Stones are invaluable treasures for cultivation.
Thinking this, Zhao Dong said, "Miss, isn't the jade business very profitable?"
The woman sighed. "It is, but lately we've lost a lot of money because we keep getting sold inferior jades that are passed off as high-quality ones..."
Zhao Dong's eyebrow rose again. "Actually, I have some expertise in jades. I can tell the good from the bad."
"What?" The woman looked at him in surprise, her voice brimming with excitement. "Brother Dong, are you serious?"
Zhao Dong smiled and nodded. "That's right. I've studied them before, so I know a thing or two."
If he had said this earlier, the woman might have been skeptical. But who is Zhao Dong? He's the boss of Dong Tang! Why would he have to lie to me?
Without thinking, she grabbed Zhao Dong's arm, pulled a business card from her purse, and pressed it into his hand. "This is my card. I think we could cooperate!"
Zhao Dong looked down at the card. It read: Dingsheng Jade House, Gu Hongxue.
Gu Hongxue? Zhao Dong looked up, sizing her up. She had a voluptuous figure and a fiery beauty. Among the three women, she was the most outspoken and carefree. Her name certainly suited her passionate personality.
"Alright," Zhao Dong said, accepting the card.
Excited, Gu Hongxue pulled him into drinking several more glasses.
The party didn't wind down until everyone was swaying on their feet. By now, Zhao Qirou was completely wasted. Seeing this, Zhao Dong sighed, bid farewell to the others, and personally carried her back to her rented apartment.
After arriving at her place, he laid her down on the bed. Looking at Zhao Qirou's alluring figure, he quickly averted his gaze, took a deep breath, and prepared to leave.
Just then, a soft voice came from behind him.
"Brother... stay... please?"
Zhao Dong froze in place.
