Dai Paipai's haggard face suddenly turned pale.
Her eyes, fixed on Wang Mingshuai, were filled with humiliated anger.
Even if she were beaten to death—
She could never believe that the husband she had loved so deeply for so many years could say such a thing to her!
"Wang, Mingshuai."
Dai Paipai stared intently at her husband, her voice trembling as she spoke: "I will say this one last time. I, Dai Paipai! Did indeed turn my back to Li Qianfan and shake my backside. I did indeed call him 'Daddy'. I did indeed send him photos of my legs, and my full body. I even, several times in my dreams, crazily pounded him in the bedroom! But he has never, slept with your wife."
Did Wang Mingshuai believe her?
He no longer avoided Dai Paipai's furious, disappointed gaze.
He was only clear about two things.
One, he had to become a man again.
Two, his wife was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
If he were not a man, the more beautiful his wife became, the more pain he would suffer.
He was also certain that if he continued to be so incompetent, Dai Paipai would eventually become someone else's woman.
After all, even a fool knew that marital intimacy was an indispensable element of every happy family.
Love, as great as it was, did not have a long-lasting fervor.
"Paipai, do you think I would believe you?"
Wang Mingshuai said very rationally, "You are so mature, you are like raging fire. He is full of youthful vigor, he is dry tinder. Especially after you made the first move. Heh heh, to think that dry tinder meeting raging fire would not ignite is the mark of a fool."
Dai Paipai trembled all over.
Regret, like a tidal wave, surged from the depths of her heart.
She had made a mistake.
When Wang Mingshuai decided to deliver a "crippling blow" to Old Su at the all-staff meeting to re-establish his prestige as a boss, she had, without disobeying his wishes, called Old Su in advance.
It was precisely for this reason that she had been completely blocked by Li Qianfan.
"Dai Paipai, what kind of foolish things have you done?"
As Dai Paipai wept silently, Wang Mingshuai spoke again, "Paipai, if you still truly love me, then you should find ways to help me regain my virility. Otherwise, our most devoted marital bond will break sooner or later. Don't you agree? Anyway, you are already tainted."
"Anyway, you are already tainted!"
These seven short words, spoken by Wang Mingshuai himself, delivered a fatal blow to Dai Paipai's spirit.
She suddenly smiled.
That smile could only be described as seductive.
"Mingshuai, since you don't believe anything I say, then I won't hide it anymore."
Dai Paipai crossed her arms and walked slowly to the window, leaning against it. She looked at him, "I can do as you say. But I have two conditions."
"Bitch!"
"You've finally shown your true colors—"
Wang Mingshuai cursed inwardly but maintained a calm exterior. "Speak."
"One. From this moment on, you are not allowed to ask me to do anything I don't want to do."
Dai Paipai's smile faded. "Two. I won't be coming home to sleep at night anymore. After all, Li Qianfan is young, energetic, and has strong needs. It's possible at any time that he might require my company. Therefore, I must stay in a hotel near his place, ready to open my legs at any moment."
"Fine, I agree."
Wang Mingshuai's face darkened. "But I also have two conditions."
Dai Paipai took a cigarette from her pocket. "Speak."
She lit a cigarette, leisurely inhaling and exhaling smoke, without a hint of coughing.
"One. No matter how passionate your affair is, you cannot let anyone know that you are carrying the tune."
Wang Mingshuai said, "Two. You must take contraceptive measures. I don't want to have a son later who isn't mine."
"Okay, no problem. I'll call him now."
Dai Paipai took out her phone, tapped a few times on the screen, and then brought it to her ear.
Holding the cigarette in her left hand, with her right elbow resting on her palm in an elegant orchid pose, she smiled charmingly into the phone a moment later. "Dad, it's your Paipai. Is it convenient for you to talk? Oh, it's like this."
"Just now, Mingshuai and I had a good discussion. To help him regain his vigor, he's agreed to let me sleep with you for a month."
"Yes, that's right."
"During this month, I will stay in a hotel closest to your place."
"Twenty-four hours a day, whenever you need me, you can come find me."
"What? Two months?"
"Then please wait a moment, I'll ask Mingshuai."
Dai Paipai said, looking at Wang Mingshuai.
Wang Mingshuai's cheeks puffed out, and he nodded.
What difference was there between one month and two months?
"Okay, he agrees."
"What? You're saying that only after I sleep with you for two months will you treat his illness?"
"You're doing this because you're afraid that once you cure him, he won't keep his word. Or worse, he'll accuse you of forcing yourself on me?"
"Alright, I'll ask his opinion."
Dai Paipai had just said this when she saw Wang Mingshuai nod again.
In Wang Mingshuai's opinion, Li Qianfan's request was very reasonable.
If it were him, he would make the same request.
"Dad, Mingshuai agrees again."
Dai Paipai's tone was cheerful. "Okay, see you tonight. Paipai will be in the hotel, all clean and smelling nice. Mwah!"
After planting a kiss on the phone screen, Dai Paipai put away her phone.
She leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke and asked Wang Mingshuai, "Mingshuai, two months will pass in the blink of an eye. Think more about the intimate scenes when Paipai is with Daddy. Perhaps those images can form a strong psychological suggestion for you, aiding in your recovery?"
Wang Mingshuai gritted his teeth. "Bitch!"
"Alas, what can I do? I'm just that kind of person."
Dai Paipai shrugged and quickly walked into the lounge, closing the door with a bang and locking it.
Then she threw herself onto the bed, muffled her head with a pillow, her body convulsing as if electrified, and let out a suppressed cry of utter despair.
Li Qianfan had already blocked her WeChat and phone.
How could she possibly call him?
She had just staged it all herself.
"Two months later, I will leave this city forever."
"Mingshuai, do you know why I'm leaving you only after two months?"
"Because when we were in love, you said that if our feelings ever faltered, we must take a full two months to calm down and think things through."
"But you've surely forgotten about our two-month pact!"
Dai Paipai cried silently, an indescribable weariness gradually engulfing her, leading her into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, she slowly woke up.
The sky outside was about to darken.
But in the office outside, conversations could still be heard.
Wang Mingshuai's voice: "Kaijie, since you've taken over Su Laiyun's job, you'll go to the Qingyun branch of Jinchao Group tomorrow. Completely scrap the order for thirty thousand sets of work uniforms that Su Laiyun signed."
The new sales director, Song Kaijie: "Rest assured, President Wang, I guarantee I'll handle this beautifully tomorrow!"
Wang Mingshuai laughed heartily, "I knew you were the most suitable person to be the sales director. Come, let's go to the hotel. I'm treating tonight, a good meal for everyone. To thank you all for warmly welcoming my triumphant return!"
Song Kaijie asked, "What about Director Dai? Isn't she joining us?"
"She has other things to do tonight. Let's go."
Wang Mingshuai's voice was quickly cut off by the sound of the door closing.
Dai Paipai sat in the darkness for a long time without moving.
The sky gradually brightened.
When Wang Mingshuai, who had slept soundly the night before, arrived at Paipai Fashion with a ruddy complexion, Bao Shan, the general manager of the adjacent Tianci Fashion, had already been at work for an hour and a half.
At six o'clock, Bao Shan arrived at the company and, along with the middle and high-level managers who also rushed in, began cleaning.
Last night, he had received a call from Young Master Du Tianci.
Young Master Du had clearly stated in the call that due to Tianci Fashion's small scale, he was no longer interested in managing the company and had resold it to another boss.
As for who the new owner of Tianci Fashion was, Du Tianci didn't say.
He only told Bao Shan that at eight-thirty this morning, the new boss would arrive at Tianci Fashion with the transfer contract to take over the company.
As for whether Bao Shan, the current general manager, could remain, that would depend on his own abilities.
Bao Shan was somewhat dumbfounded after receiving Du Tianci's call.
He had only been general manager for a few days, and now there was a new owner?
But this was not something he could control.
All Bao Shan could do was to clean the company thoroughly before the new boss arrived, hoping to leave the best impression and secure his position in the company.
If he couldn't be general manager, then being a deputy general manager should be fine, right?
After all, the team Bao Shan currently led was the old team from Paipai Fashion, and most of the clients had been poached.
At eight in the morning.
Bao Shan, personally sweeping the floor, called out to the two hundred employees who had all reported for duty to gather in the dining hall.
The employees filed into the dining hall.
Bao Shan and Zhao Shui, among others, stood at the entrance of the dining hall, gazing expectantly towards the factory gate.
"The new boss is here!"
As several cars slowly drove into the factory gate, Zhao Shui exclaimed.
"Quick. Everyone, be alert."
Bao Shan stood tall and proud, his voice stern. "The new boss's first impression of us is very important!"
