Chapter 65 The Desire to Conquer
-
After returning from the hospital, Li Xiayi wanted to share this gossip with others. She happened to learn that Shi Yingmeng had not yet returned to Shanghai from Beijing, so she invited her to go shopping together.
She used to be a student at the same high school. When Shen Yueze was dating, she had watched him. How to put it? He was willing to spend money, but it was hard to tell how much he liked someone. It seemed like he was open to dating anyone. Coincidentally, at that time, Shi Yingmeng fit his taste in every way.
When Li Xiayi saw her today, she looked her over and then feigned concern, saying, "You still look great, no different from the photos. A lot of people on my WeChat Moments are photoshopped way too much."
We came across a pajama store, so we decided to go in and take a look.
The place was filled with all sorts of things, a dazzling array: pajamas, nightgowns, lingerie, and even names that created a special atmosphere, like "Escape at Night," "Sweetheart Clinic," "Bunny Officer," "Afternoon Office"...
Shi Yingmeng had bought it before, intending to wear it for Shen Yueze, but she didn't expect they would break up so soon.
There were also couples coming in together to shop, but in physical stores, most people are too reserved and have to be looked at when they pay, which is far less private than online shopping.
Li Xiayi curiously took it off and looked at the intricate strap design on the back, while the front perfectly outlined her bust shape. "Wow, this is so expensive. Do guys all like this kind?"
"Definitely."
Shi Yingmeng had heard it from others: "Couples who are compatible in bed can't break up. Even if they have no feelings for each other, they will get back together."
Have you bought this before?
Li Xiayi suddenly asked her about her private life with Shen Yueze, "Are you and Shen Yueze compatible in bed?"
She didn't believe that someone with such a strong libido wouldn't have a sex life. Whether he was in a relationship or not, he needed to have one, especially since he was only twenty years old. With so many people pursuing him, his phone must be flooded with sexually suggestive messages and people wanting to sleep with him.
Although Li Xiayi hadn't looked at his phone, she had seen other guys' phones. Even Yu Huai, who was just average-looking but had a decent personality and was basically her simp, received flirtatious messages from other guys.
Shi Yingmeng was drinking milk tea through a straw when she paused for a moment, a look of embarrassment flashing across her face.
Many people thought that Shen Yueze had slept with her, but that's not actually the case. It was only a few months, and he probably felt that if he slept with her, he would have to take responsibility.
To gloss over the issue, he said, "You have a great figure, and this kind of clothing really accentuates your best features. This one in your hand would be perfect."
"I've already broken up, so I'm not buying it, but it really is quite pretty."
Despite saying that, Lee Hi still bought two pieces, and also bought some sexy lingerie.
Shi Yingmeng: "I have to leave tomorrow. I need to go back and study. The exam is coming up soon."
Even during the months of dating, it didn't affect my studies.
"Are you going to try to get back together with him?"
"Let's talk about it later."
She really liked Shen Yueze, but one-sided feelings can't last long. She always took the initiative in everything, and it was bound to get tiring after a while. At the same time, many boys around her were also showing interest in her and pursuing her.
Is this how it usually is when you date a rich second-generation?
"You have to go along with him. Even if you argue, he won't back down. He has a bad temper and isn't willing to explain."
"Does Shen Yueze always do this?"
Shi Yingmeng felt a little down. She bought a taro-flavored ice cream and couldn't help but think that it was his favorite flavor. "But he's like that with everyone, not just me."
"By the way, he also doesn't like being controlled."
Shi Yingmeng felt very insecure. Being with a guy like him would make her feel intensely uneasy, jealous, and out of control.
"Let's leave it at that."
Li Xiayi's parents earn over a million a year and own a house locally. They are neither rich nor poor. Although they know the second generation, it is not suitable to have a serious conversation in most cases, otherwise one of them will have to give in.
People with a little money are often difficult to get along with, let alone someone from Shen Yueze's social class.
"Nobody likes being restricted, and I don't like being controlled either. My boyfriend is no good, and my parents are even more annoying."
Li Xiayi's troubles mostly come from her parents, who make too many demands and put pressure on her every day. They feel that since they have provided her with a starting point and family background that others can only dream of, she must meet the goals they set.
This led to her having good grades in high school, but once she entered university, she went completely astray, secretly booking hotel rooms without her parents' knowledge, staying out all night, and developing a habit of smoking and drinking, becoming the most rebellious type of girl in the eyes of her elders.
Li Xiayi complained, "Last time I wanted to wear a dress out, it wasn't short, just up to this point, nothing was exposed, it was a very conservative style, but my dad saw it and wouldn't let me go out, he just threw it away, it's so annoying. And things like backless or low-cut tank tops are even worse."
Shi Yingmeng listened quietly for a while as she spoke, actually envying this kind of family; the constraints represented care.
However, Shen Yueze didn't care about these details. She was free to wear whatever she wanted, and he wouldn't check her phone.
Li Xiayi asked Yu Huai to pick her up for dinner. After getting in the car, she found some photos that Wen Yining had posted before and asked, "Hey, do you think she's pretty?"
Yu Huai, with his refined appearance and typical good student looks, glanced at the photo while waiting at the traffic light. He was actually quite handsome, but unsure what she wanted to hear, he didn't answer. "Is this someone from our school?"
"No, she's planning to enter the entertainment industry."
He then said to Shi Yingmeng, "By the way, when I went to the hospital to see her, I ran into Shen Yueze. It seems he stayed there to take care of Wen Yining. I was quite surprised because none of her family members were there, only Shen Yueze was there."
"Wen Yining and Chen Jiabai talked about it, right?"
"Yeah, who knows what he's thinking."
Li Xiayi handed her leftover milk tea to Yu Huai, smiling as she asked, "Don't guys find this exciting? They feel more eager to conquer the girls their best buddies have dated, right?"
Yu Huai chuckled, "Probably. Some guys don't mind having exes, but it depends on who the ex is. If she's very powerful, he'll feel like he got a good deal. So women who have dated big shots are still very popular."
"There are actually many girls like that too."
After hearing what he said, Li Xiayi understood the principle and immediately thought of many examples.
"Take male celebrities for example. Once they have a halo, even if their private lives are a mess or they've slept with some rich woman, their fans know all about it, but they're still willing to spend money on them."
Shi Yingmeng felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She stared blankly at the interaction between the two people in the car. The straw that Li Xiayi had bitten went back into Yu Huai's mouth. This guy must be Li Xiayi's simp, the kind who comes when she calls and goes when she dismisses her.
She also had people like that around her, but she had always focused her attention on Shen Yueze and had overlooked them.
-
Wen Yining hadn't showered for three days, so she called Ji Yao and said, "Sis, when you come, bring a bottle of shampoo. I want to take a shower."
Shen Yueze was sitting right next to him, having just finished his work and closed his laptop. He took this as a hint, "Can't I wash it for you?"
Wen Yining could predict how much he would gain, but the location was inappropriate. It wouldn't be too late to play in the bathroom after he was discharged from the hospital. "My brother is coming to stay here tonight. He finally has some free time. I told him not to come, but he wouldn't listen."
The subtext is: not today.
Shen Yueze's tone was not very serious, "Taking a bath is nothing, I know better than you. A few days ago, I wanted to do it even when I was on my period. If it were another guy, I would have done it with you this morning."
Wen Yining watched as he took out the clean clothes from the bag. They were all clothes he had brought from home: loose T-shirts, a skirt, underwear, and so on…
How did you know where I put my underwear?
"I searched all over."
After a couple of seconds, he put down his phone and said slowly, "There are quite a few styles, the kind with laces, how come I've never seen you wear them?"
She had been trying to recall if there were any other embarrassing items in the bedroom when this question interrupted her train of thought, and she immediately knew which one he was referring to...
She mostly wears normal styles; she has bought some tie-up styles, but not many, only two or three.
The tie-on style is tied around the waist and can be easily untied with a pull. There's also a strap in the middle that looks extremely sexy, and I'm really curious about what it's like to wear it.
When living in the dormitory, it's inevitable that she'll be seen, especially since Geng Chutong loves to gossip behind people's backs. If she sees her wearing such sexy underwear, who knows what she'll say about it.
Unexpectedly, he dug it up.
"You brought it?"
Shen Yueze really wanted to see it. "On the day we went out to sea, I wanted you to wear a bikini, but you wouldn't."
Wen Yining immediately sensed something was wrong, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
With her face like that, it's common for boys to stare at her if she wears even a little less clothing. But I've never seen anyone as blatant as Shen Yueze.
He readily admitted, "Yes."
He grabbed the paper bag, took out all the clothes inside, and exposed the underwear at the bottom. He picked it up by the two straps; the fabric was only the size of a palm and couldn't cover anything at all.
He tossed it over, saying, "Change to this later."
"..."
She put the other short-sleeved shirts and underwear back in, leaving only the ones she would wear later.
"When can I be discharged from the hospital? Actually, I can go home now."
"You have nothing to do back home, so stay a couple more days."
“Your sister’s company is close to here, so it’s convenient for her to come and go.”
He replied to her while cutting fruit.
Wen Yining's gaze fell on his tall figure. He was facing away from her, wearing a loose and casual T-shirt, cutting an orange with his head down, his back slightly hunched, looking lazy and relaxed.
The ward has been filled with many things these days, from food to daily necessities to clothing, almost all of which he bought. It has become more homey and feels more like a family.
He actually has a lot of life experience, probably because he often goes on trips and adventures and has experience in wilderness survival. He is skilled at things like shopping, washing clothes, and cooking.
He wasn't the kind of pampered young master who never lifted a finger; in fact, he had more life skills than she did.
Shen Yueze rinsed the used cutting board, brought over the fruit plate, and placed it in front of her. "By the way, I made a recipe. Cross out the foods you don't like, so Aunt Zhang won't cook them anymore."
Send it to her from my phone.
Wen Yining scanned the dishes one by one; they were mostly foods she liked and also beneficial for bone fracture healing.
Unexpectedly, he had a meticulous side; a certain part of his heart was quietly and unknowingly conquered.
When Ji Yao arrived, it was seven o'clock. She had just rushed over from the company. Before pushing open the door, she deliberately paused for a moment at the door, afraid that she would run into the scene they were doing again, just like the previous two days.
Hearing the sounds of everyday conversation coming from inside, he felt reassured and went in.
"How long have you been eating? You just finished eating, you can't take a shower right away."
"It's been an hour, that's enough."
The bathroom facilities all had handrails. The first two times, she sat on a chair while Ji Yao used the showerhead to rinse her leg, which was injured and broken, so it didn't get wet.
Wen Yining noticed that her cousin's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying, and her expression was filled with an indescribable sorrow. She asked, "What happened, sister?"
Ji Yao kept it brief: "There's serious infighting among the leaders in our company. The original leader was ousted, and the current one is always making things difficult for me because I didn't side with him when we were choosing sides."
With a helpless sigh, the intrigues and grudges involved could not be fully recounted even in three days and three nights.
"Once you start working, you'll realize that many big companies are actually just makeshift operations, not as perfect and prestigious as you imagine."
Wen Yining knew that her job was alright, but the pressure was also high. Her annual salary was around 300,000 yuan, which was not high in this city, but it was not enough to make her strapped for cash.
"Didn't you say you were going to resign?"
"Not necessarily."
The door was closed, and the sound of running water continued. She listened intently as her cousin complained about the interpersonal relationships at the company and the backstabbing among the leaders.
Ji Yao works in the public relations department of a film and television company, which is a subsidiary of one of the three major video platforms.
"Internal strife is extremely fierce in large companies; you could say that wherever there are people, there is conflict..."
After the shower was turned off, Wen Yining heard that there was no more noise outside and the TV was turned off, so she assumed that Shen Yueze had left.
Rinse your hair thoroughly and start applying shower gel.
He had been holding onto the matter of Shih Yu-heng asking him to star in an art film for several days, but he couldn't find a way to express it and had no one to confide in.
At this point, I couldn't help but discuss it with my cousin. "A director wants to cast me in a movie. It's an art film, but it's quite explicit, maybe like Apple. Although we don't have to actually do anything, we'll have to take our clothes off."
"When did this happen?"
"Just two days ago, he came to the hospital to see me and showed me the script."
"He gave me a month to think it over. If it works out, I'll go find him."
Ji Yao remained silent for a while, carefully rinsing the foam for her, before asking, "Did he make any demands? Any unspoken rules, like accompanying him, the producer, or the investors?"
She had heard a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry, but she was already used to it.
Even knowing about her illegitimate children and chaotic private life doesn't stop her from being a fan.
"I went through the normal process. I auditioned, they gave me a scene, and asked me to act it out."
Ji Yao: "Does Shen Yueze know about this?"
“He doesn’t know, I definitely can’t tell him.”
Wen Yining felt that regardless of whether the scene required taking off clothes or not, he would not let her act in it.
"What's his name? I want to see his previous works."
“He’s only worked as a screenwriter, but he was credited. I’ll send it to you. He’s not particularly famous. He’s only in his early 30s and doesn’t have much experience.”
Ji Yao felt that no matter what advice she gave, it wouldn't change her cousin's decision.
"If you really want to act, I can't stop you, but you have to be careful not to get scammed. There are a lot of scammers in this industry."
"If it doesn't work out, then quit the industry and find another job. You're so beautiful, it would be easy for you to find a stable job, but you wouldn't earn as much money. Earning millions a month is basically impossible. Hmm... the entertainment industry is just a place for you to try your luck."
Wen Yining nodded silently, agreeing with the sentiment. She felt that other options were a fallback plan, otherwise she wouldn't be content.
The bathroom in the private ward was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two people. After rinsing off the foam, Wen Yining asked her to leave, but Ji Yao, worried about slipping, stayed by her side to keep an eye on her.
Ji Yao could understand her worries, so she tilted her head to the outside and continued to express her thoughts, "I think Shen Yueze is really good to you. There aren't many rich young masters like him. If you can develop a long-term relationship with him, try not to break it off."
Wen Yining understood what she meant and remained silent.
After drying her hair, Ji Yao took out a hairdryer and plugged it in to dry it. Just then, her phone rang outside. She put it in her bag and said, "My phone is ringing. Wait a minute, I'll answer it."
Wen Yining took it and said, "I can blow it myself."
The bathroom door was opened, and the heat from the room dissipated, making it feel a bit cooler.
It has a rich lychee and rose aroma, along with a refreshing citrus flavor.
Add some hair oil, and the two or three fragrances blend together, drifting into Shen Yueze's nasal cavity along with the mist.
He was lounging in his chair with his legs crossed, the TV on silent, his phone ringing every now and then, either from Ye Qingchi and his gang or from Shen Zongjun.
I can't calm down.
Listening to the intermittent sound of flowing water inside, his mind wandered, filled with images of her undressing and being violated by him.
It's probably because he's been abstaining from sex for too long.
Ji Yao received a call from a colleague. The colleague sounded very anxious, and after two minutes of talking, the call was still ongoing.
At the third minute, Shen Yueze got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Wen Yining had just put on her clothes, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with nothing underneath.
His black hair was damp, dripping water onto his white T-shirt, leaving obvious water stains.
"You haven't left yet? I thought you had already left."
"You haven't blown it yet, let me blow it for you."
His gaze swept over her bare, long legs, finally settling on her upper thighs, which were barely covered by the hem of her T-shirt.
Is this garment his, or did he wear it?
Then I took the hairdryer from her hand and tested the heat.
Wen Yining felt the temperature was just right, but for some reason, her skin was slowly warming up. The 26-degree air conditioning outside the ward was blowing in, and the coolness that had just eased was now aggravated.
He bought this hair dryer for me; it cost over 3,000 yuan and it only took a few minutes to dry my hair.
She hesitated, glancing down at the dress lying beside her. He didn't leave; instead, he picked her up and carried her out.
Ji Yao hung up the phone. Seeing the atmosphere, she felt like a third wheel. Before leaving, she made a point of saying, "Your brother will be here soon."
Wen Yiran was free tomorrow, and felt that since her sister was hospitalized, she couldn't just not stay overnight.
Shen Yueze didn't let her continue wearing what she was wearing, and kissed her, saying, "I can't come in twenty minutes."
She felt wonderful being kissed and couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck in response, but she was still worried, "You won't be done in twenty minutes, will you..."
"Use a deeper position."
