Duanmu Que pulled me downstairs and walked around the kitchen. We walked out from the kitchen's side door and went straight to the garden. The two of us walked along the wall, trying to keep our footsteps as light as possible. Behind a tree closest to the main door, the two of us squatted down. Duanmu Que was afraid that I would catch a cold, so he put a black coat on us. Then he whispered to me, "Be careful not to expose your position." I gestured for him not to speak and listened carefully for any movements outside the wall.
It seemed that Yu Xin hadn't gone far. She was on the other side of the wall. I heard Yu Xin say, "What is it that you have to talk to me face to face? What can't you say over the phone?"
"I don't want to either. It's about Duanmu Que." A man's voice.
Duanmu Que whispered into my ear, "This is Director Li who called me." I nodded.
"Duanmu -gege? What is it about Duanmu -gege? "Yu Xin asked.
"Aiya, Miss Yu, don't play dumb. Didn't you want me to send someone to get Duanmu Que drunk, then take indecent photos and send them to you?" The man's voice was filled with helplessness.
"And then?" Yu Xin asked in a lukewarm tone.
"That girl didn't succeed, but she told me that Duanmu Que had sex with her. When she went back to find Duanmu Que, he wouldn't admit it. What do you think should be done?" Hearing this, it seemed that Duanmu Que's instructions had been conveyed.
"What? You actually let her go onto Duanmu -gege's bed? What right does she have? "It was clear that Yu Xin was angry.
"Eldest Miss, don't talk about this anymore. Back then, you were the one who told me that as long as I did as you said, I would be able to increase our company's profits by 25%. That was why I agreed to it. Now that something like this has happened, if Duanmu Que is serious about it, you will also be responsible."
"That wasn't my intention at all. I just wanted a few photos, but you decided on your own and let that woman seduce Duanmu -gege. Forget it, it's already come to this point, there's no point in saying this."
"Then what should we do next?"
"You do this. For a week, you keep that woman under control. Next week, when everyone is at home, you let that woman come here and cause trouble. The main reason is to make Duanmu Que take responsibility for her. When Duanmu Tachio and the others show up, you guys come out and use the woman's name as the company's leader to get Duanmu Tachio to give you more profits. I'll take care of the rest."
As soon as I heard Yu Xin say this, Duanmu Que pulled my arm, hinting me to go back. I shook my head, telling him to stay and listen. He also shook his head, indicating that he had to go. There was no other way. I followed his decision and went back to my room.
Just as I entered my room, I didn't even have time to rest before Duanmu Que walked to my side and began to take off my clothes. I shouted at him, "What are you doing!"
"It's too late. Take off your clothes and change into your pajamas." After he said that, he took off his coat and changed into his pajamas. It was obvious that I was an obedient wife. I also changed into my pajamas obediently. Duanmu Que stuffed our changed clothes into the wardrobe.
Duanmu Que turned on the TV in the bedroom. He laid on the bed and fiddled with the remote control. Since I had been outside in the garden for a while, my hands were a little dirty. I went to the bathroom to wash them. As soon as I finished, there was a knock on the door.
"Coming! Coming!" Duanmu Que got off the bed and ran to the door to open it. I walked to his side and saw Yu Xin standing at the door with a plate of fruit.
"Duanmu -gege, I just washed the fruit. I brought it to you." Yu Xin said to Duanmu Que. She didn't look at Duanmu Que. Instead, she scanned the two of us from top to bottom. Then, she stretched her neck to look inside the room.
"Thank you. Xin Xin, what are you looking at?" Duanmu Que took the fruit and asked.
"Ah? Nothing. I'm going back. Bye. " Then, Yu Xin turned around and walked back to her room. It wasn't until Yu Xin closed the door that Duanmu Que pulled me inside. He locked the door and put the plate of fruit on the table. Then, he sat on the bed and gasped for breath.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "I worriedly looked at him and touched his face.
"Wifey, I'm fine. I just didn't expect her anti-detection ability to be so strong." Duanmu Que laid on the pillow and looked at the ceiling.
"What's going on?" I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I can guarantee you that before Yu Xin came back, she walked around the garden. She smelled like roses. She went to the garden to see if we were there. If she wanted to leave after eavesdropping on them, she would've run into them and it would've been too late."
"I understand. So when you came back, you asked me to change clothes and pretend to watch TV. It was to mislead her and make her think that we were in the bedroom the whole time. Is that what you meant? "
"That's right, that's what I meant. I guessed that she would come to look for us, but I didn't expect that she would actually take a stroll around the garden. Looks like I underestimated her too much in the past. Look at the things she said. I really couldn't imagine that she was actually such a ruthless person." Duanmu Que held his forehead as he lay there, looking especially distressed.
"What are we going to do next? Expose her?" I asked as I lay down next to him.
"No, we can't expose her. I want to continue acting with her. Of course, I want to be the main character and not let her control me." Duanmu Que hugged me and said, "Wifey, I want to apologize to you."
"Huh? Apologize for what? "I asked in confusion as I lay in his embrace.
"Actually, I used to suspect that you were hostile towards Yu Xin, and even wanted to protect her. But as time passed, I slowly realized that she was getting worse and worse. Not only did she harm her friends, but she also harmed you. Now, in order to achieve her goals, she won't even let her family off. Well, maybe she doesn't even see us as family. There were so many people in Kurosawa, but he didn't order them. My father carried her to the hospital and left my mother to take care of me. She was given everything. She ate well, wore good clothes, used good things. She received the best education since she was young. She and I both went to an aristocratic school. With her qualifications, she wouldn't have been able to get in. But now? If my parents knew that she had become like this, their hearts would ache. "Duanmu Que said angrily.
"Okay, okay. Don't be angry. It's all in the past." I patted Duanmu Que's back and softly comforted him.
