I stayed in Gu Xiaofei's room all day, didn't go anywhere.
I kept wondering if I was starting to get a thing for Gu Xiaofei now that my wife was gone.
I had to admit, Gu Xiaofei was definitely very womanly, totally my type.
But I knew in my heart that a woman like that was poison. You just touch her a little, and things could blow up.
So I was on my best behavior in the room, didn't dare mess with her at all.
The more time I spent with Gu Xiaofei, the more I felt like she was someone important.
Because when the hotel staff brought her food, they were super respectful.
The hotel wouldn't act like that unless she was a really high-class guest.
I started trying to figure out Gu Xiaofei's real deal.
Clearly, Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to be hiding something from me, making me think Gu Xiaofei was just some country bumpkin.
If Gu Xiaofei really had such a high status, why would she be Zhang Zhiyuan's mistress?
That was the question I couldn't wrap my head around.
And then there was the whole catching-him-cheating thing yesterday.
No guy would be okay with his mistress bringing someone to catch him in the act, but Zhang Zhiyuan didn't seem angry at all and even played dumb.
I had a nagging feeling that all of this had something to do with Gu Xiaofei.
Even though I knew I couldn't afford to mess with a woman like her, I was really curious about her identity.
Only by figuring out who Gu Xiaofei really was could I understand why Zhang Zhiyuan wanted me to hook up with her.
I never believed in coincidences, and Zhang Zhiyuan wasn't the kind of guy to do things without a reason.
To get to the bottom of all this, I had to get closer to Gu Xiaofei.
I believed that with my intelligence, I could definitely figure everything out.
Actually, having such a beautiful woman around wasn't making me feel so lonely.
The sky gradually darkened.
I didn't know what Gu Xiaofei meant by "have fun," but I could take the opportunity to see what kind of life she actually lived.
Then, Gu Xiaofei started getting ready.
The first thing she did was change clothes.
When Gu Xiaofei opened the closet, I was stunned.
I didn't expect the closet to be full of clothes. Just by looking at them, you could tell they were all expensive.
I was even more surprised.
If this was just a room Gu Xiaofei had booked temporarily, there wouldn't be so many clothes in it, unless...
Thinking about it, it seemed even more unbelievable.
No wonder the hotel staff was so respectful to Gu Xiaofei. She'd apparently rented this room long-term.
Judging by that, her spending was way beyond what I could imagine.
I knew very well that Zhang Zhiyuan had been tight on money these past few years and couldn't possibly afford Gu Xiaofei's expenses.
Had Gu Xiaofei latched onto another rich guy?
At this point, Gu Xiaofei took out a pink business suit from the closet.
What surprised me even more was that she actually took off her robe right in front of me.
A fair and tender body was instantly revealed before my eyes. Any man would have been tempted.
Maybe it was guilt, but I suddenly turned around, not wanting to look at Gu Xiaofei's body.
When Gu Xiaofei had changed, she gave me a cold smile and said, "What are you pretending to be a gentleman for? I've already let you touch me all over. What's the big deal about looking?"
That made my face burn, and I couldn't even answer.
Then, Gu Xiaofei walked over to the mirror and started putting on makeup.
That's when I realized that Gu Xiaofei was actually a very particular woman.
Opening Gu Xiaofei's makeup case, I was even more surprised because it was full of all kinds of makeup, you could say it had everything.
I was immediately shocked by Gu Xiaofei's extravagant lifestyle.
I suddenly felt like there was a huge gap between Gu Xiaofei and me.
By the time Gu Xiaofei finished everything, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
The night scene in Nan Zhou was always beautiful, and I was looking out the window at this time.
But I wasn't in the mood to appreciate the scenery. I was worried about my wife, Lu Wan.
A whole day had passed, and since my cold war with my wife started, Lu Wan hadn't even called me once.
I didn't even know where she was staying now.
I picked up my phone, looked at my wife's number, and thought about calling her to ask how she was doing.
But after hesitating for a long time, I put the phone down.
At this point, Gu Xiaofei had finished all her preparations for going out. She said to me, "Handsome, we should head out. I'll introduce you to some good friends of mine."
Meeting Gu Xiaofei's friends would help me understand her real identity, so I was quite willing.
We got to the parking lot, and Gu Xiaofei frowned slightly and said to me, "How about we take your car today?"
I didn't dare disobey her, nodded, and led her to my BMW X1.
As soon as we got in the car, I asked Gu Xiaofei, "Where are we going?"
Gu Xiaofei said, "The Emperor Nightclub."
Hearing that name made my brow furrow instantly.
The Emperor Nightclub was notoriously chaotic, fights happened there all the time.
If Gu Xiaofei was really a socialite, why would she go to a place like that? That was another thing I couldn't figure out.
A woman dressed so seductively going to that kind of place could only mean one thing: selling her body.
I couldn't understand. If Gu Xiaofei was so rich, why would she still do that kind of business? Was she just a naturally promiscuous woman?
If that was the case, then what she said about my wife felt like a real insult.
Thinking about this made me feel even worse, and I started missing my wife even more.
After all, I used to be a professional driver, so I was quite familiar with the roads in Nan Zhou. Twenty minutes later, Gu Xiaofei and I arrived at the entrance of the Emperor Nightclub.
As the largest nightclub in Nan Zhou, the business here was incredibly booming.
There were even a few people doing a lion dance at the entrance of the Emperor Nightclub.
Several tattooed young guys were standing at the door. You could tell at a glance that they were involved in the underworld.
I was just an ordinary citizen, and I wasn't very comfortable in this kind of environment.
But I could feel that Gu Xiaofei's eyes lit up with excitement when she got here.
I had a feeling that something was going to happen tonight.
When those tattooed young guys saw Gu Xiaofei walking over, they actually gave her a slight bow.
If she was in the flesh trade, there was no need for that.
Looks like my judgment was wrong again this time.
Could Gu Xiaofei be a big boss in the underworld?
Although I had doubts in my heart, I didn't dare say anything at this time and just followed closely behind Gu Xiaofei.
This was my first time entering a nightclub. I had never known what the inside of a nightclub looked like before.
But after going in, I found that the layout was a bit like a movie theater.
At the very front, there was a stage with people performing.
Gu Xiaofei went straight to the first row, closest to the stage.
Even a newbie like me knew that those were reserved seats for VIP customers.
Gu Xiaofei sat down in one of the seats, while I could only stand.
Because there were people on both sides of her, and they were all women around Gu Xiaofei's age.
I thought to myself that this was Gu Xiaofei's social circle.
But I still couldn't figure out where these women came from.
However, judging by their gold and jewelry, they were all wealthy ladies.
As soon as Gu Xiaofei sat down, one of the wealthy women turned her gaze to me.
"Xiaofei, who exactly is this you brought? He looks quite handsome. How about he keeps me company for the night?"
One of the women, slightly older than Gu Xiaofei, started teasing me right away.
Hearing those words made my face burn.
The environment here could only be described as extravagant and decadent. People were living in a dreamlike stupor.
I thought to myself, was this the kind of life Gu Xiaofei liked to live?
At this point, Gu Xiaofei said, "Stop talking nonsense. I haven't even managed to get with this guy yet. How can I give him to you?"
The slightly older woman seemed not to believe her and asked with wide eyes, "No way, Xiaofei. You can't even conquer him with your charm?"
Gu Xiaofei explained, "This guy has an old flame, and she recently cheated on him, so he's here with me to clear his head."
Hearing those words, I really wanted to curse, but I had to admire her. She made up a story out of thin air and told it so convincingly.
The slightly older woman seemed to get interested all of a sudden. She said, "Oh, he's a devoted one. Hey young man, out with the old, in with the new. Life is only a few decades long. Lighten up, okay?"
I had to admire how carefree these people lived.
What happened next surprised me even more. Because at this point, that older woman stood up, walked over to me, and got her face almost touching mine.
A strange perfume smell rushed into my nose, and I suddenly couldn't help it. My body started to react.
Clearly, that older woman was a master of the game. She intentionally or unintentionally touched my sensitive areas, making the desire in my heart burn up instantly.
Just as I didn't know what to do, the older woman suddenly sat back down.
"Xiaofei, this is a good piece of goods. If you don't want him, give him to me. I can give you ten thousand yuan."
Hearing those words made me want to curse in my heart.
Was I just a commodity to be traded?
But earning ten thousand yuan so easily, that money was too good to be true!
I thought to myself, "Could Gu Xiaofei be involved in this kind of human flesh trade?"
If that was really the case, then my situation today would be terrible.
They say women in their thirties are like wolves, and in their forties like tigers. This woman looked to be around thirty-five, right in her prime.
If that was really the case, I would definitely be letting my wife down today.
I started to regret coming to this place.
But at this point, Gu Xiaofei's answer was completely beyond my expectations. She said, "Sister Hong, you already have three boy toys. Why are you still trying to snatch this one from me? You know, I just set my eyes on this one."
The woman called Sister Hong laughed and said, "I know Xiaofei has high standards and doesn't like any of the pretty boys here. Of course, I wouldn't steal the meat that's already in your mouth.
