Chapter 50: Bitter Fruit
Qiu Jieqin's hand and her words made my blood boil and my face flush. I never thought that a woman could say such erotic words. Although I knew that she had seen countless people, was experienced, and had always been bold and active, I still felt overwhelmed and surprised.
Her hand finally reached the destination. Through my pants, Qiu Jieqin could feel my impulse reaching its boiling point. She blushed and giggled in my ear. Her lips kept touching my earrings intentionally or unintentionally, and waves of hot air came out, flowing down my neck and instantly spreading throughout my body. Her hand began to move on my congested part, pressing her palm lightly on it and slowly moving in the direction.
Just when I was at a loss and my whole body was trembling with excitement, the cell phone in my pocket started ringing.
Qiu Jieqin murmured, "Turn off your phone, ignore it." Her hand gradually increased in strength and began to move faster. I finally couldn't help it and grabbed her teasing hand, panting and saying, "Jieqin, stop, it's too exciting, I can't stand it."
Qiu Jieqin raised her eyebrows and showed amusement in her eyes. I understood the meaning of her eyes. She was laughing at me. I couldn't stand it like this, so what would happen if it got serious?
The phone in my pocket kept ringing, destroying my mood again and again. I could only sigh, gave Qiu Jieqin a helpless look, and reached out to take out my phone.
The caller ID showed that it was Hua Jingjing calling.
My first thought was to turn off my phone and not answer her call.
But I hesitated again. In my heart, I didn't hate Hua Jingjing. Even if she bit me tonight, I knew it was just her temper tantrum and she couldn't control herself. If you say she did it on purpose, I couldn't tell.
And I also vaguely felt that this young lady was a little different from me. According to Qiu Jieqin, she was in love with me. Although I couldn't understand it, according to various signs, this was still possible.
I resigned from her, although I was forced to do so by the big star Xu Shu, but a small part of it was to avoid her. I really didn't want to have anything to do with Hua Jingjing anymore. I really couldn't stand her big lady temper, and I didn't want to be said by others that I was the kind of person who climbed up the social ladder. I couldn't avoid this suspicion when I was with her.
But I also know that just escaping is not a solution. Hua Jingjing is the kind of person who will not give up until she achieves her goal. Her temper is as stubborn as mine. Even if I don't answer her call now, I will still be annoyed to death by her in the future. Besides, I have to go to the company to handle the resignation procedures tomorrow, and I can't avoid dealing with her. It's not convenient to talk about anything in the company, so it's better to say it on the phone.
I explained to Qiu Jieqin: "Hua Jingjing's call might be about my resignation. I have to answer it and make it clear."
Qiu Jieqin pouted and said, "You're calling so late, it must be something bad. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?" I stroked her little face and said with a smile, "I'll answer the call in front of you, so you can supervise me, okay?"
Qiu Jieqin snorted and said nothing. She slid down my body, rested her head on my legs, and lay on the sofa, looking at me with her big eyes without blinking.
I smiled at her, gave her a comforting look, and pressed the answer button: "Hello!"
Hua Jingjing's hoarse voice came from the phone: "Are you asleep?"
"No."
"I can't sleep. Does your hand still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do that. I don't know why, but I bit it as soon as you said it."
"I know, I don't blame you!"
"But you hate me! I sincerely want to keep you, but you still insist on resigning."
"I've already told you that my resignation has nothing to do with you. I just want to make my own way and don't want to continue living like this."
"You can also do something in the company, right? If you don't want to just slack off, I can let you take on the heavy responsibilities and let you work hard. I will definitely support you. But if you leave like this, I won't even have my confidants in the company. I will be so lonely."
I laughed and said, "When did I become your confidant? Didn't we have a big fight a few days ago?"
"We quarreled, but I know you are a trustworthy person and a very responsible person. I... I was ignorant and wanted to hurt you at the beginning, but you didn't ignore me. I fainted in the field, and you found me. I know you rushed all night to take me to the hospital that day. The doctor said that you were really anxious, and I was so touched. I asked you to buy things for me, and you didn't buy the wrong things. I secretly checked and found that even the model, specifications and size were exactly the same, which shows that you are a very serious and careful person. In addition, we quarreled so fiercely in the hospital that I told you not to come in a fit of anger. But the next day you still came to help me with the discharge procedures, which shows that you are a very responsible person and will not let your emotions affect your behavior. Tang Qian, I just joined the company, and I don't know other people as well as I know you. I really value you and really treat you as my own. Tang Qian, I need you! I need your support, I need your help, I beg you, don't leave the company, don't leave me, please take back the idea of resigning and think about it again, okay?"
Hearing this, I felt warm inside. I didn't expect that I was such an important person in Hua Jingjing's heart. But am I really as good as she said? Wasn't it just because of Xu Shu's few words that I was so impulsive that I let my emotions affect my behavior?
I have rarely been so touched, but I have already said what I wanted to say, and I have also promised my girlfriend to stay away from Hua Jingjing. It is too late to change my mind now.
I sighed, "Hua Jingjing, after listening to what you said, I have a new respect for you. I have always thought that you are just a willful and unruly rich girl. But the fact that you have these thoughts shows that you are still a boss with your own ideas and abilities. You will not be unable to work without me. Besides, I am really not as good as you say, and my staying won't help you much. There are many people in the company who are much better than me. With your ability, it is not difficult to attract them to work for you. As for me, forget it!"
"There are many talented people in the company, but people's hearts are hard to predict these days. I only trust you. You can't make me and every talented person have the same experience as you. Only in times of crisis can we see whether a person is good or bad. When I was in danger, you didn't abandon me, which deserves my complete trust. Tang Qian, you also know my temper as a young lady. I have never said such sincere words to anyone. I really need you. I can't trust anyone else except you. You also know that I came to the company because I wanted to do something big, but because of you, I threw all my ambitions behind my mind and just thought about it all day long. "I'm not doing my job right now. I'm not mature enough. I regret it now. My brother's job is on the right track now, and my father is very satisfied with him. Only I have not achieved anything. He sent me to study in the United States with high hopes. But now I have disappointed him, Tang Qian, I have realized my mistakes, I will not fight with you anymore, I want to do something big, I need someone I can trust and feel at ease with, only you, Tang Qian! Take it back! Let's work hard together and do business together. If we succeed, I will get half of what you get, okay?"
I held the phone in my hand, unable to speak for a long time. If she had said this to me yesterday, there would be no hesitation. Just because she spoke so sincerely and trusted me so much, I would die for her. But today...
This was the first time that I was so shaken by my thoughts. I was very conflicted. I knew that the reason I resigned was mostly because Xu Shu looked down on me, and I was stimulated to make an impulsive decision. But with my way of dealing with things, it is really difficult for me to stand out in this society by working hard alone. I know this myself, but who doesn't want to make a career? If I have a boss who appreciates me and can rely on the power of the company, I will get twice the result with half the effort. Although this is not my career at all, as long as I can make some achievements, my value can be reflected.
Qiu Jieqin saw me hesitating and immediately shook me. I knew she was afraid that I would change my mind again and spend every day with Hua Jingjing, and she was very worried.
I smiled at Qiu Jieqin, telling her not to worry, I will keep my word. I said to the phone: "Boss Hua, I am touched that you think so highly of me. To be honest, I also want to make a name for myself in the company. With your trust in me, there is no need to worry about not being able to show my talents. It's just too late. I have made a decision, and I have made a promise to others. You don't want me to become an erratic villain, right?"
"Promise? Who did you make a promise to?"
"My girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? You have a girlfriend? How come I didn't know?" Hua Jingjing's voice on the phone sounded shocked and panicked, as if she had heard something horrible.
I said, "Yes, my girlfriend also supports me to resign, and I have already made a promise to her in person. Mr. Hua, thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I have to keep my promise, otherwise I won't be able to face her, don't you think?"
Qiu Jieqin was very happy to hear this, and couldn't help but giggle deliberately. As expected, Hua Jingjing heard it, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your... girlfriend, is she by your side now?"
I said, "Yes, I am."
"Tang Qian! You...are you lying to me?"
Hearing Hua Jingjing almost cry, I finally believed that Hua Jingjing really had feelings for me. I really couldn't understand it. How could a rich girl like her be interested in an ordinary poor boy like me?
Even if she didn't understand, she still had to make it clear, otherwise it would cause more troubles if there were misunderstandings in the future. I knew it was cruel to tell her this, but in order not to delay her and let her wake up sooner, I had to tell her the truth.
I said, "I'm not lying to you. My girlfriend's name is Qiu Jieqin. She was my classmate in high school."
“…”
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. I waited for a while and saw that she didn't respond. Just as I was about to speak, I heard a beep from the phone. Hua Jingjing hung up the call directly.
I sighed. I don't know if this hurts her, but I can't help it. I can't keep hiding the truth from her forever, right? Besides, after I quit my job, I won't see her often. With her looks and family background, there must be a lot of people chasing after her. It won't be long before she forgets me.
I put down my phone. Qiu Jieqin happily got up and kissed me hard on the face. Then she smiled and said, "I finally understand. The wound on the back of your hand was caused by Hua Jingjing, right? What a vicious woman. You are right. The farther away from such a woman, the better. There is no need to work for her. You are kind-hearted and tolerant. If it were me, I would have said goodbye to her a long time ago."
I slapped her on the buttocks and scolded her with a smile: "You are the happiest one. I am unemployed and you are still laughing!" Qiu Jieqin screamed "Ah!" and stroked her buttocks with both hands, saying angrily: "You are so annoying! I can't spank you today. Ouch! It's over, it's coming again, so much, I, I have to go get a new one."
As she said that, she hurried downstairs and rushed to the bathroom.
I looked at her graceful figure and beautiful back, and my heart was moved. This woman was born to be so seductive. Being with her, I really couldn't control myself!
I took out a cigarette, lit it, and used the thick smoke to calm myself. First of all, I had made it clear that I would leave Green Lady Company and start my own business. But what would I do?
What can I do?
I started to think seriously. Of course, I knew that I couldn't come up with anything just thinking now. Some things needed to be considered in the long run and discussed with my family. Thinking of my family, I looked at my watch. Oh no, it was past eleven o'clock. I should go home. And I suddenly remembered that I hadn't eaten anything all night. No wonder my stomach kept growling.
I stood up and walked to the bathroom door, and said through the glass door: "Jieqin, are you done? It's too late, I should go home." The glass door suddenly opened, and Qiu Jieqin, who had just washed her hands and hadn't dried them yet, poked her head out and said in surprise: "You're leaving? Tonight... aren't you staying here? Are you going home?"
I smiled and reached out my hand, caressing her cheek, and said, "Aren't you inconvenienced? It's so hard for me to stay and see you so tempting, but I can't eat."
Qiu Jieqin blushed and said angrily, "You are so annoying! You were not this frivolous before. When did you change?" I laughed and said, "You taught me that. I used to be such a pure boy, but since I met you, you have corrupted me."
Qiu Jieqin's face was uncertain after hearing this, and I don't know what she was thinking about. I gently patted her face and said, "Don't be stunned, I'm really leaving."
Qiu Jieqin hummed and walked towards the door with me. Suddenly, she grabbed my sleeve and said seriously, "Tang Qian, don't you like me being so... proactive? I... I actually just want to hold you tightly. I won't be so... flirtatious with others."
I smiled and didn't answer her. I just stroked her hair and said, "Go to bed early. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
After leaving Qiu Jieqin's home, a question came to my mind. During the eight years since we separated, I knew that Qiu Jieqin had had many boyfriends. Was she really, as she said, not so flirtatious towards others?
According to her experience and flirting methods, I never thought that she would be the kind of woman who keeps her chastity. I was even mentally prepared that she had had relationships with different men. It's not that I don't mind. To be honest, no man would not mind that his girlfriend had had relationships with others. But I can only blame myself. I didn't want her first. Can I still ask her to keep her chastity for a heartless person like me? Now that I am moved by her infatuation and determined to accept her, I must also accept her past. No matter how many men she has had relationships with, that is also a thing of the past. She has no responsibility to feel guilty for the eight years of indulgence that I didn't want her to have. As long as she never makes mistakes again after being with me, I can tolerate it!
But I really regret it!
I regretted why I didn't want her in the first place. Now I have finally tasted the bitter fruit. It is not only bitter, but also very sour!
As I was walking and thinking, the cell phone in my pocket rang again. I took it out and saw that it was a very unfamiliar number.
