As the chaotic farce outside the window finally came to an end, Zhang Lirong slowly closed the window, as if that window could shut out all the noise and disturbances from the outside world.
Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, her excited voice still burst out uncontrollably from her throat.
At this moment, the crowd gathered downstairs was bustling, and many people couldn't help but look in their direction.
The cacophony of voices and car horns intensified the already tense atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Liu Sandao was in extreme danger. Several deep and shallow wounds had been inflicted on his body by the sharp blade, blood gushing out and staining the ground beneath his feet. The intense pain prevented him from noticing the strange looks around him or the familiar female voice.
Just then, the piercing sound of a police siren grew louder as it approached, accompanied by an ambulance with its warning lights flashing. Paramedics quickly got out of their vehicle and began rescue operations. They carefully lifted the seriously injured Liu Sandao onto a stretcher and then pushed him into the ambulance to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The moment Liu Sandao was lifted into the ambulance, he instinctively turned his head to look at the window from which the familiar sound had come.
From the moment Zhang Lirong called, Liu Sandao experienced a harrowing life-or-death ordeal within just half an hour.
First, he was chased and slashed wildly with a knife, followed by a long wait for the ambulance to arrive and initial first aid, before finally being taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
In a daze, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Zhang Lirong's head swaying; the head flashed past the window. Liu Sandao's heart tightened, and just as he was about to confirm again, the figure vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, another story was unfolding inside the room. The passion between the two—Wang Hu and Zhang Lirong—had subsided. Wang Hu carried the flushed, panting Zhang Lirong into the bathroom.
He gently placed Zhang Lirong aside, then sat on the edge of the bathtub and began to turn on the water. The warm water gurgled, and the rising steam gradually blurred the mirror.
Wang Hu stared at Zhang Lirong, who was brushing her teeth diligently, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene of her squatting in front of him just now.
The tub was filled to the brim, crystal clear, with a few rose petals floating on the surface, releasing a captivating fragrance. Wang Hu gently lifted Zhang Lirong and slowly stepped into the spacious bathtub. The warm water enveloped their bodies, bringing a sense of comfort and relaxation.
Wang Hu gently stroked Zhang Lirong's silky soft and delicate skin, feeling the curves and warmth of her body. Zhang Lirong was not to be outdone, reaching out her jade-like hand to gently touch Wang Hu's firm and strong muscles, as if exploring an unknown treasure.
Just then, Zhang Lirong suddenly spoke up, "Do you know who that man was?" Her voice carried a hint of mystery.
While enjoying the wonderful moment, Wang Hu casually replied, "Who was it? The man we just met? Isn't he that woman's husband?"
Zhang Lirong frowned slightly and said reproachfully, "If it were that simple, I wouldn't have told you! Don't you know that the car you're driving now was originally ordered by that man!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu still seemed somewhat absent-minded, casually replying, "Oh, so it's him. But didn't he go bankrupt? What does that have to do with me?" As he spoke, his hands continued to roam, pinching here and touching there, teasing Zhang Lirong with abandon.
Seeing that Wang Hu still had this indifferent attitude, Zhang Lirong finally couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to pinch him hard in that area. Wang Hu winced in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Ouch, that hurts! I'm listening, please stop pinching me. If you really hurt me, I won't be able to satisfy you in the future."
Seeing that Wang Hu had finally calmed down, Zhang Lirong breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "To tell you the truth, the reason he went bankrupt was actually a scheme set up by Liu Sandao. And because you've been spending money recklessly lately, Liu Sandao has also set his sights on you, so you'd better be careful!"
Upon hearing this news, Wang Hu's expression instantly turned serious. He frowned and said solemnly, "Does that mean that guy has actually set his sights on me?" After saying this, Wang Hu paused slightly, and then continued to ask, "By the way, you haven't told me what the situation is between you and him yet?"
Just then, Zhang Lirong, standing to the side, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, gazing at Wang Hu with tender affection. She gently leaned close to Wang Hu's ear, softly blew a breath, and said coquettishly, "Hmph, you rascal, do you want to know about me, or are you more interested in Liu Sandao's situation?"
Seeing this, Wang Hu quickly put his arm around Zhang Lirong and gently replied, "Of course, both are important, but you are definitely the most important! You are my woman now, how could I not care about anything about you?"
After listening to Wang Hu's heartfelt words, Zhang Lirong felt a sweet warmth well up inside her, and a happy smile bloomed on her face. Clearly, she was very satisfied and happy that Wang Hu cared about her so much. Therefore, without further hesitation, she began to slowly recount her past experiences.
Liu Sandao was once just an unknown petty hoodlum. However, his fate took a turn when his family faced demolition compensation, a sudden opportunity that made them rich overnight. Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last long; the money wasn't managed or used properly and was quickly squandered.
Zhang Lirong, in her early twenties, left her quiet and peaceful fishing village in remote Zhoushan to seek her fortune in this unfamiliar land. Unexpectedly, her arrival caught the attention of Liu Sandao, who then relentlessly pursued her. At that time, Liu Sandao was already in his thirties, a significant age gap between them. Despite this, various factors eventually led to their marriage.
For the first few years after their marriage, life was relatively peaceful and stable. Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but during this time, Liu Sandao managed to avoid the storm of the crackdown on illegal and criminal activities.
Meanwhile, the clever and capable Zhang Lirong did not rest on her laurels or become complacent. Instead, she made full use of the remaining funds in Liu Sandao's hands and decisively opened a beauty salon. Thanks to her skillful management, the business flourished and generated substantial profits.
The couple hadn't had children for several years, and Zhang Lirong guessed it was because he had injured her during a fight. She had gone for a checkup and found nothing wrong with herself.
Liu Sandao later relapsed into his old ways, indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring, and quickly squandered all his money.
This year, Zhang Lirong even sold her beauty salon, and then she set her sights on her former friends.
Perhaps that man's wife couldn't adapt to suddenly being penniless, so she hooked up with Liu Sandao.
The reason for selling the house was that Liu Sandao had also given away the money he had made, and he needed to pay off his debts.
The two of them were arguing because of Zhang Lirong's cousin, but it was actually because of his gambling.
