Wang Dahai had just left, and Lin Wanqiu returned.

It was only during dinner that she realized Wang Dahai wasn't there.

Before she could ask, Wu Qiangwei sighed melodramatically, "He had something come up at the last minute, so he's not eating at home."

"Oh," Lin Wanqiu felt somewhat dejected.

She felt that Wang Dahai was deliberately avoiding her, not wanting to see her.

After eating, Wu Qiangwei pulled her into the room.

Once the door was closed, Wu Qiangwei unleashed all her pent-up frustration from the afternoon, "Your little lover is detestable!"

Lin Wanqiu's face flushed. "What little lover, Auntie, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hmph! Don't put on an act in front of me."

Wu Qiangwei got back on topic, grinding her teeth as she said, "Your little lover is truly detestable, acting as if he's seen a flood or a ferocious beast when he sees me! If I didn't know that there was something between the two of you, I would suspect that he doesn't like women at all!"

Lin Wanqiu blinked, seemingly understanding, "Did you try to seduce him?"

"What do you mean seduce."

Wu Qiangwei rolled her eyes, "I'm just looking out for you, aren't I?"

Lin Wanqiu scoffed, "Who asked you to look out for me?"

Then she pretended to be nonchalant as she asked, "He's not interested in you?"

"Not just uninterested, he... I feel like he doesn't even like women at all!"

Thinking of Wang Dahai's attitude toward her made her furious.

She then told her about what had happened that day.

After hearing it, Lin Wanqiu also found it strange. "How could this be?"

Wu Qiangwei had both the figure and the looks.

Even if Wang Dahai was deliberately trying to avoid suspicion, he wouldn't act like this.

However, even though she couldn't figure it out, Lin Wanqiu was quite happy about it.

This showed that Wang Dahai was not the type of person to stop in his tracks at the sight of a beautiful woman.

Wu Qiangwei said, "This man is actually quite decent. I've met so many men; he's the first one who's completely disinterested in me."

"But, well,"

She changed the subject, "The age difference between the two of you is quite significant. He's only 23, six or seven years younger than you, Wanqiu. Are you really sure about this?"

Lin Wanqiu shook her head, "I haven't decided yet."

"Then take your time to think about it. You're getting divorced soon, so there's no rush."

"Right, and be a bit cautious about that Wu Kai who came with you last time."

"Wu Kai? What about him?"

Lin Wanqiu actually had a good impression of Wu Kai. If not for Wang Dahai, she probably would have chosen Wu Kai.

Wu Qiangwei said, "Wu Kai strikes me as someone with deep schemes and plenty of tricks, a real seasoned hunter. Just be careful around him, go on dates if you want, but don't sleep with him until you've made up your mind."

"Auntie, what are you talking about!"

Lin Wanqiu blushed shyly.

"You're an adult, why the shyness? You're too easy to deceive. I haven't been in touch with Wang Dahai enough to fully understand him; we need to see more of him. I actually want to find out how this young man managed to get you into bed."

...

The door was opened by Mr. Liu, the dishes prepared by Mr. Liu.

"Dahai, you sit first, the meal will be ready shortly."

Wang Dahai walked into the living room and sat down, then suddenly realized that the surveillance camera in the living room was gone.

This was good news; even his posture was less constrained now.

At that moment, Bai Ruyi came out of her room.

Upon seeing Wang Dahai, she paused.

"Mrs. Bai," Wang Dahai greeted her politely.

"Yes, hello," she replied.

Bai Ruyi headed to the restroom, and when she came back out, Wang Dahai approached her and whispered, "Mrs. Bai, why didn't you reply to my message?"

"I didn't see it."

"When you saw it, why didn't you reply?"

"I don't want to go back."

Wang Dahai took a deep breath and turned to look at the living room again, asking, "Why was the surveillance taken down?"

"None of your business."

"Of course it's my business, now that there's no surveillance, I can do something."

He chuckled with a sly smile and, quick as lightning, leaned over and kissed her on the mouth.

Bai Ruyi's eyes widened in panic, and she quickly glanced toward the kitchen.

She pushed Wang Dahai away with force, wanting to scold him but worried her husband might hear, so she whispered harshly, "Don't touch me again!"

"Just did!"

"You little rascal." Bai Ruyi was furious but at a loss for words.

"Mrs. Bai, even when you're angry you look so pretty."

Wang Dahai licked his lips, couldn't help himself, and kissed her again.

Bai Ruyi was about to explode with anger and suddenly called out to the kitchen, "Husband, when did Dahai get here?"

Wang Dahai jumped, thinking she was going to complain to Mr. Liu.

"Oh, I asked Dahai to come over and give me a massage. Honey, do you want one too after a while?"

"No need," Bai Ruyi said. "I'm going to buy some fruit."

She then said to Wang Dahai, "Come with me."

Wang Dahai was delighted and said loudly, "Mrs. Bai, let me accompany you."

Before leaving the house, Wang Dahai rushed into the kitchen and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm going to buy some fruit with Mrs. Bai."

He then lowered his voice and added, "I'll ask her about you and Mrs. Liu on the way."

Mr. Liu immediately gave him a grateful look and said, "Hmm, thank you."

"Don't mention it."

Once they were out of the house, Wang Dahai couldn't wait to hold her and kissed her on the mouth without asking.

Bai Ruyi unusually didn't resist, and as Wang Dahai kept kissing, he realized something was off—Mrs. Bai was too cooperative.

He released her mouth and looked at the woman in his arms.

Bai Ruyi's face was calm as she looked back at him, sweet moisture still lingering on her lips.

"Mrs. Bai..."

"Have you had enough kisses?"

"No."

"Then keep kissing."

"Uh..." Even if Wang Dahai was slow, he could tell she was definitely angry.

He silently let go, and Bai Ruyi walked toward the elevator.

Leaving the apartment building and walking through the community, neither spoke.

After buying fruit, on the way back, Bai Ruyi suddenly said, "I gave you a chance."

Wang Dahai was completely puzzled.

"Last time I stripped for you, and you didn't want it. Last night I was lying in bed, and you were the one who got cold feet."

As she said this, she suddenly stopped and looked at him, spoke calmly, "Wang Dahai, please don't come looking for me anymore, okay?"

Wang Dahai frowned deeply.

He didn't understand—everything was so intimate between them just the night before. How had it suddenly come to telling him not to contact her anymore?

Bai Ruyi walked toward home, saying, "As I said, it's very hard for a woman my age to fall for someone. But once I do, it's dangerous. I'm just looking for a man to fulfill my physical needs, not to fall in love."

Her steps paused slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, she continued, "So, don't come looking for me anymore."

Having said that, she quickened her pace towards the apartment building.

Wang Dahai's brows were tightly furrowed. He realized he might have been too forward, intimidating her.

No!

She's not scared of me, she's scared of herself.

She's afraid she'll fall.

No, she's already fallen!

With this thought, he immediately chased after her, "Mrs. Bai!"
