Chapter 12 When was the first time, and with whom?
Song Qingran misunderstood. Cheng Wang did not take her to the bar on the first floor. The two took the elevator through the side door of the bar. She watched him open a QR code, scan it, and the elevator went directly to the third floor.
The sign in the elevator indicated that the second floor was a hotel with a lounge area and rooms available, but there was no description of the third floor. She guessed that certain conditions needed to be met to enter the third floor.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Cheng Wang reached out to stop them, waiting for Song Qingran to come out first.
She glanced at him indifferently, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart. He was always like this, often acting like a gentleman, but occasionally launching a surprise attack when she let her guard down, leaving her at a loss and unable to maintain her usual calm.
This is a two-unit-per-floor apartment, offering a high degree of privacy. Cheng Wang took out his phone and swiped it on the door of the apartment on the right. With a beep, the door opened, revealing a completely dark interior.
"Surprise!"
Fireworks exploded, accompanied by screams from men and women.
Things happened so fast. The instant she heard the sound, Song Qingran's restless heart almost jumped out of her throat, and her hands and feet went cold. At the same time, her waist was pulled close by the man's hot palm.
Cheng Wang stood in front of her, pulling her into his arms. Even when the lights came on, he didn't let go.
"Brother Wang, no way, you're scared already?"
"Why are you glaring at us? We're here to welcome you and your sister-in-law."
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, come out and see people."
"........"
The cacophony of teasing voices calmed Song Qingran. She pushed against the man's chest but couldn't push him away. Those people must be his brothers. Feeling their gazes, she blushed deeply.
Cheng Wang was pinched hard on the waist, and, not yet satisfied, had to let go.
He turned to look at the person at the door, his gaze turning cold.
Jin Ye, who was charging ahead with the firework tube, received the dagger-like look in that eyes, shrank back, and squeezed into the crowd, disappearing from sight in no time.
Song Qingran tidied her slightly messy hair and stepped forward gracefully to introduce herself: "Hello, I am Song Qingran. I am very happy to have this opportunity to meet you."
Jin Ye shouted from behind, "Hello, sister-in-law! I'm so happy! Everyone's so happy!"
Everyone else was speechless, but they still enthusiastically called her "sister-in-law." Only one man, who was about the same height as Cheng Wang, called her "sister-in-law." This man was very handsome, but he was like a cold iceberg, which made her take another look.
Cheng Wang noticed, pulled her into his arms, and led her into the house. The men and women blocking the doorway scattered and followed behind them, all walking together to the sofa in the center of the hall.
Cheng Wang sat in the main seat with Song Qingran in his arms. In front of his brothers, she gave him face and dutifully played the role of a gentle, generous, and presentable wife.
He glanced around discreetly.
This is a large, single-level apartment of about 500 square meters. A semi-enclosed sofa faces a huge movie screen. A soft carpet lies beneath the sofa, and several colorful plush toys are casually placed on it. On a long, transparent glass table in the center are drinks, cut fruit, snacks, and various board games. Not far away are a pool table, gaming chairs…
The others also sat down one after another, but they all sat on the floor at the table, in a relaxed and casual manner. Only the icy man sat not far to Cheng Wang's left, holding a glass of red wine, as if he was in a daze.
Noticing her gaze, he nodded, raised his wine glass to the air, and said in a calm voice, "Sister-in-law."
Song Qingran immediately picked up a glass of red wine from the low table next to the sofa and toasted it back. Just as she was about to drink it, Cheng Wang switched it with her. She looked at the glass of milk in her hand with a strange expression.
Cheng Wang clinked glasses with her, tilted his head back and drank the red wine in one gulp, then pointed the fingertip of his glass at the icy man: "Xu Jie, the eldest son of the Xu family."
It turns out it belongs to the Xu family. The Xu family is the base of a powerful figure in the south... There is the best military academy in the country there.
“That’s from the Jin family, Jin Ye, just a kid.”
Hearing this, Jin Ye pouted unhappily and rushed over like a firecracker: "Sister-in-law, quickly beat up Wang Ge! He's talking nonsense! I'm an adult! I turned eighteen yesterday!"
Song Qingran smiled and pretended to pinch the man's thigh. "Okay, I'll teach him a lesson for you."
She only touched it lightly, without using any force. Cheng Wang's Adam's apple bobbed, and his warm breath brushed against her ear: "Too light, not enough force." After saying that, his lips brushed past her earlobe, and he quickly sat up straight again.
Song Qingran's face stiffened, and she gripped the milk cup even tighter. Was this man talking dirty to her?
When the others saw that Cheng Wang had stopped introducing himself, they took the initiative to step forward and introduce themselves.
A man with styled hair gel, an earring in his left ear, and his shirt buttons undone came over with his arm around his girlfriend's waist to clink glasses.
"Sister-in-law, I am Shen Yan, the second son of the Shen family. This is my childhood sweetheart and fiancée, Rongrong."
Rongrong nestled in his arms and sweetly called him "sister-in-law".
Song Qingran stood up, took a sip of milk, chatted and laughed with them for a few moments, and after breaking the ice, Rongrong boldly took her hand, pulled her to the table, sat her on the white plush carpet, and even warmly handed her a box of fruit slices.
"Sister Ran, wanna play cards?" Jin Ye leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
“Okay, how do we play?” She smiled gently, happy to integrate into the environment through games.
Jin Ye explained the rules to her, and after she understood, she said it was okay. Then her eyes were fixed on the ordinary-looking man across the table. The man was focused on shuffling the cards, and after he finished, he smiled at her.
He stretched out his handsome hand, revealing a red string on his wrist: "Sister-in-law, I am Tang Chen, the second son of the Tang family."
"Hello."
Song Qingran raised her arm and shook hands with him.
Just as his hand reached out, about to touch her, the man chuckled and withdrew his hand.
Song Qingran gave an awkward smile.
The man shrugged and sighed helplessly, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me. If I really held your hand, Brother Wang would chop him up to death tonight. Besides, my girlfriend would be jealous. She won't let me get close to other women."
She wanted to say it was nothing, but her brain quickly grasped the meaning behind Tang Chen's words. She subconsciously turned around, and the gentleness on her face instantly froze. Sure enough, Cheng Wang was staring at her and Tang Chen with a cold expression.
He nudged Jin Ye next to him with his leg, and Jin Ye obediently moved aside, looking aggrieved. Cheng Wang sat down next to Song Qingran and joined in, but there was still one person missing, so everyone's eyes fell on Tang Chen.
"I'm going to check on my girlfriend." Tang Chen stood up and walked towards the restroom.
A short while later, he came out with a woman wearing a sexy red halter dress. The woman kept her head down, her hair obscuring her expression. She didn't dare to look up until they sat down, at which point Song Qingran finally saw her face.
A moment of surprise flashed through his mind: Tang Chen's girlfriend was actually Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling didn't dare to look at her, her eyes glistening with tears, perhaps hoping that she wouldn't acknowledge her, so Song Qingran remained silent.
Everyone started playing cards together.
After playing for more than an hour, all the chips ended up in Song Qingran and Cheng Wang's arms. She couldn't tell if it was because Cheng Wang was too skilled or because everyone else was praising them. She guessed it was both.
Everyone was getting tired of playing when Xu Jie received a phone call and came back to say goodbye: "Squad leader, something came up at home, I have to go back now."
Cheng Wang didn't look at him, but nodded.
With one less person, Tang Chen also put down the cards and said he wanted to change to a game with a more exciting atmosphere. "The simplest and most classic one is the roulette wheel. If you lose, you choose truth or dare."
After playing a few more rounds, the atmosphere reached a climax. Everyone had drunk a little, and they were even asked about their privacy. Jin Ye even revealed the color of his underwear.
This time, Zhu Ling lost.
When Rongrong was asked when she first had close physical contact with a man, Zhu Ling didn't dare choose truth or dare instead.
"Then find a man on the spot and kiss him for ten minutes," Jin Ye said. For someone with a boyfriend, this couldn't be simpler.
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Ling lowered her head and silently drank a glass of strong liquor, while Tang Chen, who always had a smile on his face, turned serious and his face was as black as charcoal.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Song Qingran smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Let's start the next round."
The price of taking on the task was that Song Qingran lost for the first time; she chose truth.
"When was the last time you did it with Wang Ge?" These words were spoken by Shen Yan, who was somewhat drunk.
Song Qingran looked away and remained silent, tossing her hair to cover her increasingly hot earlobes.
Cheng Wang knew she was easily embarrassed, so he glared at Chen Yan, but Chen Yan was slow-witted and didn't react.
Rongrong pinched his waist, and he winced in pain, sobering up a bit. He quickly tried to make amends: "Rongrong and I did it last night." He first showed his honesty, and then generously said: "If it's inconvenient for you to answer, sister-in-law, just choose dare. You can just kiss Wang-ge."
His blunt and vulgar words made Rongrong angry and embarrassed, so she stuffed a large piece of watermelon into his lewd mouth.
Cheng Wangruo looked at Song Qingran meaningfully, his sexy thin lips moving slightly. He didn't say anything, but his eyes said it all.
Song Qingran avoided his burning gaze, raised her hand and picked up her wine glass, and Cheng Wang's face immediately darkened.
The atmosphere changed abruptly, and everyone sighed. They glanced at Zhu Ling and Tang Chen, then at Cheng Wang and Song Qingran, and fell silent for a moment.
Cheng Wang was indeed very angry, but he wouldn't hold a grudge against his shy little wife. He generously took the wine from her hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then, feeling unsatisfied, drank a few more glasses.
"Again!"
The game restarted, and this time Cheng Wang lost. Coincidentally, the person who set the punishment was Tang Chen.
Cheng Wang did not choose to punish him, but Tang Chen spoke first with ill intent.
"Honestly: When was your first time, and with whom?"
"Truth or Dare: Find any woman and kiss her deeply for ten minutes."
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly turned tense. No one expected that two people who had no conflict would start fighting. Perhaps they didn't want to be the ones who suffered the most.
Cheng Wang crossed his arms and let out a cold laugh.
Tang Chen touched the tip of his nose and took a step back: "It's fine if you finish these two bottles of wine on the table."
Song Qingran's eyelids twitched. Would he even survive after drinking it? Besides, his leg injury had just healed.
After a few minutes of stalemate, no one spoke, but the atmosphere had reached a point where everyone was waiting for an answer. Song Qingran didn't want things to get too awkward, nor did she want the news of her discord with Cheng Wang to spread tomorrow.
She tugged at Cheng Wang's sleeve and asked, "What do you want to choose?"
Actually, she wanted him to choose the first one. Strangely enough, when Tang Chen asked her, her heart raced, and she really wanted to know.
Cheng Wang tugged at his collar, feeling a bit agitated.
"How about a dare?"
Song Qingran blinked, something suddenly flashed through her mind, and she slowly leaned towards him, placing one hand on his lower back.
Cheng Wang looked up, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily, then looked down, his eyes filled with a deep, untamed desire.
Her pupils widened, and her body instinctively tried to defend itself and escape. Suddenly, a large, hot hand appeared on her back, gently pulling her into the man's arms, where she lay on his lap.
His vision dimmed, and he lowered his head.
His cool, thin lips held hers, savoring the rich aroma of red wine. The scent of the wine lingered in their mouths, and Song Qingran's bright eyes were clouded with mist as she lost herself in the man's domineering kiss.
A light kiss was no longer enough to satisfy the man. He held Song Qingran's waist with one hand and lifted her up a little, while with his other hand, he spread his fingers and pulled her close to him.
This kiss was more intense than ever before. He gripped her waist, domineering and forceful, only releasing her when she could no longer breathe. After a moment of respite, she was kissed deeply again...
Handsome men and beautiful women passionately kissed, under the dim ambient lighting, filled with a warm and intoxicating fragrance.
Shen Yan watched the two of them showing affection as if no one else was around, swallowed hard, and then pressed his fiancée down to kiss her.
Even Tang Chen, stroking Zhu Ling's lower back and getting closer and closer, startled Zhu Ling. She covered her mouth, shook her head, and whispered, "You didn't pay. This is a separate price!"
Tang Chen snorted coldly, grabbed her chin and kissed her, but the beauty had no such intention. She was terrified and slapped him across the face. After hitting herself, she panicked and ran out crying.
The commotion they made was quite loud, waking Song Qingran up. She struggled in dissatisfaction, but Cheng Wang was satisfied yet still couldn't let her go. He placed a cushion between her legs, giving her an excuse to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
Even before I got outside the restroom, I could hear a woman crying inside.
When they went inside, they saw that Zhu Ling's makeup was ruined by crying. Song Qingran handed her a pack of tissues and said, "Wipe it off."
Zhu Ling bit her lip to stop crying, but the tears flowed even faster, each one like a pearl hitting the sink. Song Qingran didn't care what had happened. She wiped off the lipstick and water stains on her face and prepared to leave.
"Sister Ran, I'm sorry."
Song Qingran turned around, stared into Zhu Ling's eyes, and asked, "What are you sorry for?"
Zhu Ling cried bitterly, "I didn't listen to you, I didn't study hard and earn money steadily." From the moment she saw Song Qingran, her heart ached. Perhaps because she had been respected and loved, she didn't want to be looked down upon by her.
"Although my mother has been discharged from the hospital after surgery, I can't earn back the follow-up recuperation and medical expenses by working part-time, so I wanted to earn some money. But I absolutely did not sell my body. He, he just asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend every day."
Song Qingran softened once again, reached out and took the girl's trembling hands, gently wiping away her tears.
"Tang Chen is not a good match for you. He is just a civil servant now, but in the future... his future is limitless. His family and his future are on a completely different path from yours. If you are willing, come to my company. I will find someone to train you, but you also need to work hard to repay the company."
Aren't you afraid I'm a scammer?
"I'm not afraid."
Song Qingran patted her head and told her to go back and rest, and to report to the company the next day. Zhu Ling obediently left.
Having done a good deed, Song Qingran was in a good mood. She went back to the lobby and overheard them playing games at the corner of the corridor. They had almost finished drinking the wine on the table and were becoming increasingly bold in their speech.
When was the first time you lost your virginity?
Someone asked a question in a drunken daze.
Then she heard everyone loudly recounting the time when they first met someone of the opposite sex.
In the end, only Cheng Wang remained silent.
Song Qingran's feet were bound in place, her fingertips curled up, but she didn't go out. She was waiting, waiting for Cheng Wang's answer.
After a long wait, she finally saw it.
"One month ago."
Something in my mind suddenly collapsed.
Song Qingran's face turned pale as she recalled that a month ago, he had just moved out of her house and couldn't wait to find another woman.
