Chapter 21

After nearly an hour and a half, the storm finally subsided in the large V. Yang Chen covered the mess with a quilt and leaned against each other.

Roses seemed to still be in a daze, her whole body limp as she leaned against Yang Chen's chest. The two heavy mounds in front of her pressed together, forming a sensuous landscape.

The woman, refreshed by the rain, looked particularly alluring. She gently scratched Yang Chen's broad chest and pouted, "I didn't know doing this would be so tiring. Let's not do it again in the future."

"Whatever you say," Yang Chen wrapped his arms around the beauty's fragrant shoulders and smiled wickedly, "If you don't want to, I can find other women to do it."

"You heartless man, you're already done with me and you're talking about other women!" Roses slapped Yang Chen, but then asked curiously, "By the way, you came to me today, not just to... to do that, right?"

Yang Chen pinched Roses' soft cheek, "You could say that, or you could say it's not."

"What do you mean?" Roses considered herself very smart, but she had never figured out what was going on in her beloved's mind.

Yang Chen got up from the bed, rummaged through his pants, and took out a pack of cheap cigarettes. He lit one, blew out a few smoke rings, and said with a relaxed smile, "I say it is because you do attract me. I've wanted to eat you, this little lamb who came to my door, for a long time. But you know, because of your background, eating you would mean breaking my peaceful life. So, I could only look at you with longing. Now, things have changed. Because of some reasons, I'm quite annoyed with your father's West Alliance. Or rather, some people in the West Alliance have made my life difficult. I think instead of hiding, I might as well turn the entire West District into your territory. It will take some effort and there might be some complications, but..." He greedily scanned Roses' lazy and beautiful body and said, "But, I can get rid of those annoying pests and enjoy you, the silly girl, without any worries. Why not?"

Being called a "silly girl" by her lover, Roses rolled her eyes playfully, "So that's the reason. It seems you came to me today to collect a down payment..."

Knowing Yang Chen's intentions, Roses didn't ask how he would do it or worry about him. At this moment, she was convinced that the confrontation between the two gangs in the West District was about to end.

This was the reason Yang Chen truly liked this woman. If it were just for her beauty, Roses would be like the other women he had been with, and they would have nothing to do with each other after the bed. But Roses was clearly a woman who knew how to make a man comfortable. She believed in Yang Chen's strength and wouldn't pry into things he didn't want to talk about. When Yang Chen wanted to be mysterious, she would pretend to be interested. When Yang Chen didn't visit her, she wouldn't disturb him for no reason but would wait quietly for him. When Yang Chen came to see her, she would pour her fiery emotions onto him, making him feel how much she missed him...

The more Roses behaved this way, the more Yang Chen found it hard to let her go.

In fact, Yang Chen himself realized that the Chen Feng incident was just an excuse to convince himself. If things continued like this, even if the West Alliance hadn't provoked him, he would still destroy them for Roses, his confidante.

After they cuddled and got intimate for a while, the sky outside had darkened, and the city lights gradually brightened.

Seeing that it was about time, Yang Chen didn't linger and started to get dressed.

Roses tried to get up to help, but the pain between her legs made her frown and bite her lip, scolding, "It's all your fault, you made me swell."

"Uh..." Yang Chen laughed awkwardly, "I saw no blood, so I thought it was fine. Was this your first time?"

Roses' face turned pale with anger, "My hymen broke when I was practicing splits as a child. Do you think I'm a loose woman?"

"No, no, no..." Yang Chen hurried to apologize, "My dear Roses, I just thought you would take care of your own needs. You were so tight that I couldn't even pull out. How could you be a loose woman? Hehe..."

Hearing Yang Chen's bone-chilling words, Roses was both amused and angry, and she buried her head in the quilt, refusing to look at him.

Yang Chen picked up his pants and smiled playfully. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "My dear Roses, my wife wants me to find a job with good working conditions. I want a more relaxed job, but I'm not familiar with the companies in Zhonghai. Which company do you think I should apply to?"

"Your wife!?" Roses quickly poked her head out, her almond eyes wide, "When did you get a wife?"

"Hey, a living bodhisattva, always with a stern face. We just got our marriage certificate today. I can't say much about it, but I'm married now," Yang Chen shook his head in distress.

Roses' expression changed rapidly, and she said with a hint of resentment, "I never thought I'd be the second wife, but you don't have to hit me so hard, do you?"

"You don't want to be the first wife? Why?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"Being the first wife isn't suitable for me. I live in the dark and can't be seen in public with you. Besides... I don't look like a virtuous wife, do I, dear husband?" She gave Yang Chen a charming glance.

"You're a demon," Yang Chen almost wanted to go at it again.

After a fit of giggles, Roses didn't seem too bothered by Yang Chen's marriage. She thought for a moment and suggested, "If you like looking at beautiful women and want a relaxed job, go to Yulei International. They specialize in the fashion and cosmetics industries and are a big company in Zhonghai, even nationwide. I saw on the news that Yulei International's public relations department is hiring, and they accept both men and women. I heard many men are vying for the position."

"Public relations department? Men applying?" Yang Chen was enlightened and asked, "So, there are a lot of beautiful women at Yulei International?"

"Right, good pay, good benefits, and most importantly, Yulei International has the most beautiful women in Zhonghai. After all, they deal with fashion and cosmetics. I think that's what you want, right, dear husband?" Roses gave him a look that said, "Do you think I don't know you?"

Yang Chen wasn't embarrassed and nodded in satisfaction, "Good suggestion, good suggestion. The salary doesn't matter; the environment is what's important. I'll check the information and apply tomorrow."

After Yang Chen left the room, Roses lay down and let out a soft sigh. What she didn't know was that after walking a short distance, Yang Chen patted his chest and sighed in relief, "Phew, being a second wife is really nerve-wracking."
