Upon hearing this, Wang Dahai was somewhat surprised, but also felt it made sense.
After all, this was Zhang and his wife's home, and he was an outsider.
Now that his parents were coming over, it was clear they were here to deal with family matters, and his staying there as an outsider indeed seemed a bit inconvenient.
He nodded his head and went inside to pack his things.
He didn't plan on staying at Mrs. Liu's place, as with three people there, it wouldn't be convenient either.
Anyway, there was space at Jiang Rou's place.
But as soon as he stepped out from his home, closing the door behind him, he happened to run into Mrs. Zhang and Lin Wanqiu coming out from across the hall.
Seeing him and the luggage he was carrying, both women looked somewhat surprised.
Lin Wanqiu promptly asked, "Dahai, where are you going?"
Wang Dahai briefly explained, and Lin Wanqiu's face darkened slightly.
Zhang's parents had come, and she hadn't been told.
She could naturally guess why his in-laws were here.
"Did he ask you to stay at my dad's place?"
"Yeah," Wang Dahai said, "but I feel it's not very convenient there, so I'd better find my own place. I've saved up a bit from work recently, so I'll rent a place soon."
Lin Wanqiu opened her mouth as if she wanted to invite Wang Dahai to live with her.
But she remembered just as she was about to speak that she too was living under someone else's roof.
This was Mrs. Zhang's house, and she couldn't make such an offer.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhang said, "Don't bother running around, stay at my place."
Wang Dahai felt a stir in his heart, but he replied, "That wouldn't be convenient."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it."
Mrs. Zhang said, "There are plenty of rooms in the house, and besides, my husband isn't home these days, so it's not safe for just the two of us women to live alone."
Wang Dahai thought to himself that his moving in might actually be the real safety concern.
Still, he hesitated, "This..."
Lin Wanqiu actually wanted to persuade him, but she didn't dare to speak up.
"Come on, just come in," Mrs. Zhang said with a slight smile, reopening the door, and pulling his luggage inside.
With that, Wang Dahai felt it would be inappropriate to refuse any longer.
He stole a glance at his sister-in-law, who also glanced back at him; their gazes collided, and both felt their hearts skip a beat in silence.
Once inside the house, Wang Dahai changed his shoes.
Mrs. Zhang pushed the luggage and led him to a room, saying, "You can stay here, though the room is a bit small."
"It's not too small."
He was just one person and didn't need much space.
After placing his luggage down, he asked, "Yuan isn't home?"
Mrs. Zhang answered, "She's staying at her grandma's these days."
Wang Dahai thought to himself that this must have been arranged well in advance.
She probably planned to invite him over when her husband was away on a business trip.
But then an issue arose at her sister-in-law's place.
However, he had now moved in as well.
Mrs. Zhang looked back to see that Lin Wanqiu had not followed them but was sitting on the sofa.
She lowered her voice and said, "I'll leave a door open for you tonight."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a lingering fragrance.
Wang Dahai's heart raced, filled with anticipation.
After a brief tidy up, he too came out of the room.
Mrs. Zhang asked, "Dahai, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet."
"Then let's go out and grab a bite together," he suggested.
The two women had planned to eat out anyway.
The three of them left the house and casually ate something outside the neighborhood.
After a full meal, Mrs. Zhang was about to take a shower, but then suddenly received a call from Zhang.
After hanging up, Zhang Jie asked, "That was your husband?"
"Yeah," Lin Wanqiu said. "He wants me to come back and talk."
"Then go and have a talk," Zhang Jie advised.
She sighed and said, "It's hard for anyone to say much about this kind of thing, just make your own decision."
In the past two days, Lin Wanqiu had told her the reason for the divorce.
Learning that Zhang Hao was infertile, she was shocked.
As a woman, she could understand Lin Wanqiu's feelings.
Any woman would find it unacceptable.
Divorce was almost inevitable.
"Okay," Lin Wanqiu nodded and then left.
As soon as she walked out, Wang Dahai quickly approached, getting very close to her.
After not seeing each other for several days, there was a new awkwardness between them, and they both quickly looked away after making eye contact, too embarrassed to look at each other more.
Zhang Jie tried to ease the awkward atmosphere by bringing up a topic, "Do you know about your sister-in-law's situation?"
"I know."
"Your brother Zhang is such a bastard for keeping it from her for so long."
As she spoke, she walked to the sofa, putting some distance between herself and Wang Dahai, relaxing a bit.
Wang Dahai followed her and sat down on the sofa as well.
After she sat down, Wang Dahai reached out and touched her thigh.
Since Lin Wanqiu was present, she dressed more conservatively: black capri pants and a white blouse.
With her long hair and glasses, her entire being exuded a faint scholarly aura.
It was like she was a teacher standing behind the lectern.
Such attire brought a great temptation to Wang Dahai.
He touched Zhang Jie's thigh, and although she pretended to be calm as if she didn't notice, she continued, "Your sister-in-law is definitely going to divorce this time."
"It's just, I don't know what she's going to do after that."
"With such great qualifications, it shouldn't be hard for her to find someone else," he responded.
"It's not like that," Zhang Jie shook her head. "Sometimes being too outstanding can actually make it harder to find someone, especially since she's going through a second marriage."
While she was speaking, Wang Dahai had already unconsciously sat beside her, almost touching her.
The hand that rested on her thigh had wandered into the crease of her leg, moving over her pants, touching that valley that beckoned for further exploration.
Zhang Jie had been feeling pent-up these past days, and just from that touch, a wet spot appeared on her black pants.
It quickly expanded to the size of a palm.
Zhang Jie kept her legs tightly pressed together, one hand propped on the sofa, and, feigning composure, teased him, "Actually, if you ask me, your sister-in-law doesn't necessarily have to get a divorce."
As Wang Dahai continued touching her, he replied, "Didn't Mrs. Zhang just say she was definitely going to?"
Zhang Jie said, "Your sister-in-law just wants to have a child. If she has one, wouldn't that solve everything?"
At this point, seemingly unable to resist, she leaned into his embrace and said with a coquettish voice, "Naughty brother, why don't you give your sister-in-law a child? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
His heart skipped, shocked by her words, and when he realized she was teasing him, he relaxed.
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Zhang? She's my sister-in-law," he said.
After that, he scooped her up onto his lap with one broad stroke. His hand, unbidden, pressed against the small of her back, slipped under the thin blouse and into the narrow waist of her pants, caressing her smooth, tender behind.
His hand then moved down a bit further, directly along the seam of her buttocks to that most delicate spot.
It was already thoroughly wet.
"Naughty brother, stop it. What if your sister-in-law comes back and sees us?" Zhang Jie looked nervously toward the door and said, "Wait for tonight, I'll leave the door for you, and we can take our time."
