I Love My Wife Section Two

Section Two

Dull days continued for another week.

On a weekend, Xu Yong called me when I just got off work.  I was not surprised at how he knew my phone number as he was my boss.

When I got home, Ding Yu suggested us go lakeside park, because from that day it would be open to visitors free of charge.  I told him apologetically that I had to go to a party with my colleagues that night.  Ding Yu was very disappointed, but instead he told me with smile to enjoy myself.

Huang Lun Hotel is a well-known four-star hotel in our city.  People who can often come here must be rich or noble.  When arrived in the door, I saw Xu Yong standing there in a navy blue suit.

As I entered the lobby with Xu Yong, I was overawed by the luxury in front of me.  A colored fountain was at the center and a small round table was behind the fountain.  An elegant woman was playing the piano with a soothing music.  At both sides of the table are all men and women in fancy and faddish clothing.

Subconsciously I glanced at my own dress which was out of fashion, and I cannot help being ashamed.

We sat down behind a palm tree in the lobby.  This place was very hidden, where you can glimpse the entire lobby without being seen easily from the outside.

After a few glasses of wine, I gradually relaxed myself.  Xu Yong, holding his glass with a smile, asked: “Do you know why I just invited you to dance?”

I was puzzled.

“Your gesture of sitting there alone impressed me”.  I was even more puzzled as I was not outstanding in my company which was full of beauties.
“I’m quite envious of your husband.  If I have such a beautiful wife, I will not let her hands become rough in such youthful years”

The meaning of Xu Yong’s words made me confused. Such an attractive man spoke of such suggestive words to you; I suddenly became a little afraid.  I didn’t know what I was afraid of at that moment.

I almost struggled to say: “No, President Xu.  My husband is a very competent man.”

Xu Yong laughed: “You are deluding yourself! A happy woman would not have those helpless and dazed eyes!  It makes your beautiful eyes lose their spirit!”

Those words hit my heart and I cried like a child.  This man uncovered easily my confusion for over six months.

Xu Yong touched my hair in the piano music and said gently in my ear: “Ran, let me bring the glory back into your life, will you?”

As if there was a vortex which sucked me up, I subconsciously nodded.

That night, I did not go home.

A man, ignited my passion, brought me into – Paradise Lost.
