Swallowing hard, he nervously glanced at his deputy director's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and silently lit a white candle for the male escort in front of him.
Rest in peace, Amen.
The police officers were utterly astonished. Was it possible for lowly thugs like them to have access to such a secret that Deputy Director Tang's wife had cheated on him and been caught in bed with him?
He looked at Yang Qingheng, his expression hard to put into words.
The deputy director's wife is probably finished now; it would be strange if Deputy Director Tang didn't kick her out.
Song Hengjue, holding Yang Qingheng by the waist, said, "Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"
Yang Qingheng felt a chill run down her spine. She straightened up abruptly, looked at the crowd outside the door, and her heart skipped a beat.
A man in a bathrobe, a woman in disheveled clothes, a hotel.
This was hard to explain, and she rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on.
Tang Bainian's usually calm dark eyes were fixed on her, his voice dry and hoarse: "Yang Qingheng, did he force you?"
Yang Qingheng remained silent.
"Is that right?" Tang Bainian's voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
Yang Qingheng's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously pushed Song Hengjue away, ran over and grabbed his hand: "Yes."
Tang Bainian breathed a sigh of relief.
Only he knew how nervous he was just now, afraid that Yang Qingheng would give up and do something reckless, and even more afraid that she would say that she was willing, leaving him no chance to deceive himself.
Thank goodness.
Tang Bainian gritted his teeth and threw a punch.
Feeling guilty, Song Hengjue gritted his teeth and didn't fight back.
Yang Qingheng crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame, her watery eyes calmly observing the scene with great interest.
She waited a few seconds before grabbing Tang Bainian's wrist: "He got me drunk. I threw up on him before he changed out of his bathrobe. Don't be angry, let's go back."
Tang Bainian didn't want her to see his uncontrollable and shameful state, so he turned his face away and instructed Secretary Qian: "If he gets a woman drunk and tries to do something indecent, send him to the police station as well."
Upon hearing the word "police station," Song Hengjue jumped up, realizing he couldn't bear the embarrassment. He looked at Yang Qingheng for help.
Yang Qingheng smiled faintly, but instead of helping to get out of the predicament, she pulled Tang Bainian's hand and led him outside: "Bainian is truly upright. People like him are a danger to society. He should be sent to the police station for a lesson."
Bad woman, she'd rather die than help!
Song Hengjue realized what was happening. Looking at the woman's sober appearance now, she had clearly been pretending to be drunk to deceive him!
Thinking about how he had just been mocked as a gigolo, he felt dizzy and almost fainted from anger.
"I remember now!" One of the policemen pondered for a long time, then slapped his forehead in shock. "You! You! You're the boss of Boxiang! I saw you in the newspaper just a couple of days ago!"
The news that the boss of Boxiang had seduced a married woman caused an uproar at the scene.
Pointing and gesturing in this direction.
"Would such a big boss do something like this?"
"Of course it is. There are so many people on this earth, all kinds of people. I've heard that some people like married women, they just love excitement."
"Looking at his handsome appearance, tsk tsk, you can know a person's face but not their heart."
...
Song Hengjue's face turned ashen, but at this moment he was speechless and could only grit his teeth and swallow his grievances.
Yang Qingheng turned around and saw Song Hengjue's embarrassed look, and almost burst out laughing.
Tang Bainian was unhappy that her attention was always on his back. His face turned cold, and he suddenly lifted her up by her legs.
"Ah!" Yang Qingheng screamed in fright from the sudden weightlessness and instinctively hugged Tang Bainian's neck.
“You’ve had too much to drink. You’re stumbling around like this, so I’ll carry you out to prevent you from falling again,” Tang Bainian explained.
Yang Qingheng understood, but his words only made her more dizzy.
Although she had developed a high alcohol tolerance over the years, the six glasses of strong liquor that Song Hengjue had just given her were real, and the longer it was left, the stronger the aftereffects would become.
A faint, cool fragrance drifted into Yang Qingheng's nose, but she was preoccupied with guilt and paid no attention to it. Her eyes darted around as she said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what he was up to. I didn't expect you to come to this hotel and cause such a big misunderstanding."
"It's nothing, just a coincidence." Despite the bitter taste in his mouth, Tang Bainian maintained a nonchalant and generous demeanor.
Yang Qingheng felt even more guilty and simply said, "To avoid making your reputation even worse, why don't we just get a divorce?"
She knew without even thinking that if today's events got out, Tang Bainian, the deputy director, would become the laughing stock of everyone.
If they don't divorce now, Tang Bainian's reputation will be even worse.
His wife cheated on him, and he just kept quiet about it.
Yang Qingheng knew how gossipy those men were behind her back; they could make up stories even if they didn't exist, let alone the fact that she was seen by so many people in the hotel.
Tang Bainian's fingers tightened suddenly, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Why the sudden divorce? Do you have someone you like?"
"Ah? No, I... I was just afraid I'd bother you." Yang Qingheng said awkwardly.
Tang Bainian's eyes flickered: "I said it wouldn't have any impact. I will handle this matter well and it won't reach my parents."
“We can’t keep this a secret forever. It’s better to get a divorce now. It’s my fault this time, and you’ll have an explanation to your parents,” Yang Qingheng said.
Tang Bainian remained silent, looking troubled: "I recently had a promotion opportunity, and my marital status will also have some impact on this matter. Could we wait until this is over before discussing it further?"
Yang Qingheng was taken aback, unaware of this matter.
Tang Bainian knew that promotion was a rare opportunity, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright, then let's wait until this promotion is over."
