The moon was brighter tonight as the girl with red hair looked at it with expectant eyes. She was swirling the wine inside the wine glass that she was holding, a smirk slowly creeping to her face as she was talking to someone on the phone.

"What?

" she asked, letting out a malicious laugh.

"You're telling me that Pan An is now with a girl and is living with her? Who is this girl?

"

The girl with red hair leaned on the table behind her. It was a rather chilly evening in the country, yet she was wearing only a bathrobe that covered her body. She was barefoot in the kitchen, continuing to listen to the person whom she's talking with.

"Her name is Shu Xian?

" The woman's eyebrow twitched.

"If you know her name, why can't you search about her background? Don't tell me that you're incompetent of doing that. You've been doing great in your job!

"

"But Ms. Ruo Xi,

" the man on the other phone called out, guilt evident in his tone of voice.

"I know that I have never failed you, but I'm sorry—I really can't get even a single clue about this Shu Xian. It's as if she has a strong backer behind her,

" he added, making Ruo Xi sigh.

Her hold on the wine glass tightened. With her biting her bottom lip, she furrowed her brows in frustration, asking more about Shu Xian.

"Didn't you tell me that this Shu Xian looked like an ordinary person? How can an ordinary person have a secretive background?

"

The man on the phone didn't know how to answer. With another sigh heard from Ruo Xi, she just put it aside, and spoke again.

"Never mind. I will pay a visit anyway soon. I'll try to get information on my end myself.

"

"Ms. Ruo Xi—

"

Due to frustration, the woman ended the call in annoyance. With her rolling her eyes as she put her phone down on the table, suddenly, a man came inside the kitchen to talk to her.

"Ruo Xi… are you done? You told me you'd spend time with me.

"

Ruo Xi looked at the man who was talking to her. With a smile coming to her face, she observed him, a cheeky grin coming to her face as she stared straight into his eyes.

He was also wearing only his bathrobe, his chiseled body taking a little peek—especially his abs. His hair seemed wet, like he had just gotten out of the shower and immediately looked for her.

"Jiao Long…

"

Ruo Xi said his name with a soothing tone to her voice. The man before her is Hao Jiao Long, one of the people who's famously known for his businesses outside the country.

Also, he is—rather, was—one of the best friends of Pan An and Wang Lei until a falling out happened since he suddenly went overseas without saying anything.

Ruo Xi put her wine glass down. She then approached Jiao Long, the woman wrapping her arms around his waist as she rested her head on his chest.

"I told you I'd be coming to bed soon after this. You don't have to come here.

"

Jiao Long smiled at her. With him kissing the top of her head, he flirted with Ruo Xi, making the girl let out a chuckle.

"How could I wait for you so long? Don't you know I miss you immediately the moment you're away?

"

Ruo Xi rolled her eyes at him. With her arching a brow at the same time, she told him what she has learned about Pan An so far, slightly surprising Jiao Long with what he had heard.

"Pan An is living with a girl, they said. Her name's Shu Xian—but her background is unknown.

"

"Huh? Why can't we search about someone's information? Have you tried putting more money?

"

"Yes,

" Ruo Xi replied, sighing.

"But still, nothing. It's like I wasted money for nothing.

"

Jiao Long sensed her frustration about not finding anything about the girl. With him sighing, he commented about her searching Pan An, getting Ruo Xi's complete attention.

"I don't know why you're still searching about that man,

" he started, obvious hurt in the tone of his voice.

"You're already married to me—we didn't even make it public.

"

Ruo Xi already knew where this is going. With Jiao Long complaining about her searching about Pan An and with him saying that she's married to him, Ruo Xi sensed that he may be jealous—thinking about the past.

"Jiao Long, honey,

" Ruo Xi got his attention, her hand on his face.

"I only want to get revenge on that man and his family for driving us away from the country.

"

Jiao Long's eyebrow twitched, not liking what he's hearing.

"Is this why you're so adamant about going back to the country? Didn't' you tell me that you were missing your family? Ruo Xi… we also wronged them—they caught us for using them. I no longer want issues. I want us to have a peaceful life and—

"

"Aren't you ashamed that you were driven out of the country just to be with me?

"

With Ruo Xi interrupting him, Jiao Long couldn't speak, his wife further talking to him as she reminded him of the past.

"Remember… we were dating first—and you wanted more connection and money from them, too. But we were caught by that wretched woman.

"

"But Ruo Xi—

"

"Enough,

" Ruo Xi interrupted once more, now pushing him away.

Jiao Long didn't dare to fight back. With him backing away until he fell on the couch, Ruo Xi straddled on him, tugging his bathrobe free, revealing him naked before her in all glory.

Jiao Long wanted to have a serious talk with her… but if his wife is acting this naughty towards him, how could he initiate conversation?

With a smirk coming to Ruo Xi's face, she bent down, whispering as her breath fanned over his lips.

"Now let it go… and ** my brains out.

"

As if something snapped in Jiao Long's brain, his hands roughly held Ruo Xi's waist, turning the tables as she is now beneath him. He then passionately kissed her as his hand roughly pulled Ruo Xi's robe, revealing a goddess' body.
