Red Strings

Chapter 31

Two shadows can be outlined against the bright moon light, towards the conspicuous corner of the villa's garden, the two stood out.

Eyes filled with a hint of confusion and dazedness, he looked at the familiar woman in front of him. His fingers were a bit frozen and before he knew it, he can move again.

The woman in front of him looked at him with a gleam, her pink stained lips pursed before broking out into a smile.

"What is it?" The man was cold as he looked at her with a hint of annoyance.

Her eyes flickered in surprise before it was gone. "Mr. An, I was tasked to give you this" she handed out a usb in front of him as he took it from her hand.

Their fingers touched each other and an electrifying sizzle went into his fingers before it travels into his brain. He was a bit quizzical at that moment but brushed it off.

"You should've brought it to me in the company, not here"

"S-sorry Mr. An, it-it won't happen again!" Her eyes stained with tears, like a blooming flower making a man's face soften in pity for her.

But not him.

He was used to this kind of tricks after all his old business partners have given him girls with each of their own charms but he refused them all.

He was not an unprincipled man whose libido is that of a teenager.

"I'm leaving"

She didn't notice the swirling emotions out of the girl's eyes and left her in the corner without thinking any further of his actions.

As he walk towards the hallways, his mind was running, brows furrowed into thinking and as he reached his wife's side, his brain throbbed in a second and didn't last.

One thing that struck him is that he would never follow a woman's words that easily even so a stranger at that and allow them to be misunderstood as having an affair.

It was simply beyond his thinking.
...

I didn't ask him where he went, he just walked to my side with that indifferent expression of his. At the corner of my eyes, I looked for some clues, I don't want anyone talking about his affairs, it would be a disaster for the An family. I continued to search for things such as a long strand of hair or at least a lip stick stain in his collar.

None.

What am I thinking, even in my past lives he wouldn't be this unprincipled. At most he would just meet with her and cultivate some feelings but doesn't go to that stage.

"-heaven! The two truly looks good!" I was enamored at my search that I didn't notice someone talking to us.

"Thank you for the compliment Uncle Wei" I gently smiled, he is one of the business partners that the An family had been with for the past ten years.

"You two really have a good relationship eh?" I heard a bit of sarcasm on those words.

"It's only natural" An Yi Wei refuted Mr. Lin's words, one of their biggest competitor and someone who mocked me when I got divorced to An Yi Wei.

He even offered himself to me, as if I needed to clung on that aggravating face of his.

"Of course, don't be jealous Mr. Lin, don't worry I'll talk to the married women in our circle and plan for a blind date for you" I acted coyly and clung to An Yi Wei's arms, it was the first time that I did this in front of others.

His face was dark and I had to suppress my laughter at his obvious anger.

Those words were like salt to the wounds after all the women in our circle absolutely despise him. He's patriarchal and his character and his face was as ugly as his heart.

No one would even recommend someone to him, he can only buy those models and actresses since he can't even get a lover.

"Thank you but I think I can manage" sure you can.

"Just call me, no need to be embarrassed Mr. Lin"

With that, the party ended, at the end of the day my feet was already sore and my lips have slacken from too much smiling.
