Chapter 92: Men are Just for Fun

Shuangxu’s gaze retreated from the beautiful woman, Lady Mu，and she stepped into the elevator, “Thank you.”

She didn’t even look at He Tingzhou before turning around and facing the elevator door.

The other few people followed her in, their previous laughter and chatter now replaced by an awkward silence.

As the elevator doors closed, the descending mechanical sound was accompanied by He Tingzhou’s low voice from behind, “When did I learn to become invisible? How come someone can’t see me?”

The few employees who hadn’t greeted him earlier, hurriedly spoke up in unison, “Good evening, Mr. He.”

He Tingzhou: “I wasn’t talking to you.”

Several pairs of eyes turned to Shuangxu.

Shuangxu turned around and looked at him, even offering a smile that could be mistaken for professional courtesy, “Mr. He, what a coincidence, are you also here for dinner?”

He Tingzhou glanced at her insincere smile, “Yeah.”

“What are you eating?” Shuangxu asked again.

He Tingzhou replied, “Ma You Fish.”

“It must be delicious.”

“It’s not.”

After asking three questions, Shuangxu turned back, speaking to him only out of her obligation as an employee.

Mu Yanshu smiled softly, “Mr. He has a discerning palate. This restaurant’s Ma You Fish fried rice is quite famous. It’s inspired by both Chaoshan fish rice and Spanish paella. The fish is wild-caught, the rice is a blend of glutinous rice and crab field rice, combining both chewy and smooth textures. The base is simmered with New Zealand blue abalone in chicken broth, garnished with spring fern, the taste is quite good. Ms. Song, you should try it sometime.”

Shuangxu returned a smile, “Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll try it next time.”

After that, the elevator fell silent.

The quiet atmosphere made everyone feel uneasy. Shuangxu remained calm, her side profile unreadable, but the employees couldn’t handle it.

Someone tried to break the awkwardness, “Ms. Song, I’ll accompany you to buy storybooks later. There’s a bookstore right at this intersection.”

Every second of silence felt stretched, and the numbers on the electronic screen jumped twice before Shuangxu replied, “No need.”

Her voice was as calm as water, without a ripple.

The female colleague didn’t understand her meaning, “You can also buy online, I’ll send you the book list later.”

“I’m not buying them,” Shuangxu said.

After all, there were countless other women who could tell him stories, she didn’t need to be one of them. It was too much of a waste of time to worry about him.

He was the heir of the He family, what didn’t he have? He might as well spend his time worrying about himself.

It was a transaction, all she had to do was fulfill her role as a warm bed.

As the elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened, Shuangxu was the first to step out. Xiao Liao opened her mouth to call her, but couldn’t make a sound.

She followed in small steps, patting her chest beside Shuangxu, “You also felt the air inside was suffocating, right!”

The colleagues started chattering, “Speaking of which, that beauty’s figure is amazing, I wanted to drool when I saw her.”

“The woman of an extremely handsome man is also a stunning beauty!”

“Little Boss, is she Mr. He’s girlfriend?”

Shuangxu spoke as if discussing something irrelevant, “Maybe.”

At worst, she was a concubine, and she had seen her many times.

As they walked out of the mall, she remembered that her car was in the underground parking lot. A little annoyed, she frowned, and the colleagues realized.

“Shouldn’t you two be going to the second floor underground? Why are you coming out with us?”

“To see you off,” Shuangxu said casually, “Be careful on the road.”

After seeing Xiao Liao off, Shuangxu turned towards the hospital to visit Shu Yang.

Shu Yang had completed two rounds of treatment, and her condition had improved significantly. However, she had lost over ten pounds due to chemotherapy and her hair had fallen out, so she simply shaved it all off.

When Shuangxu arrived, Shu Yang was trying on her new clothes and wigs.

Shuangxu walked in silently and lay down on the bed.

“Even my bust size has gone down a cup,” Shu Yang sighed, “If I lose more weight, I can walk for Victoria’s Secret.”

Shuangxu comforted her, “Don’t worry, your legs aren’t that long, Victoria’s Secret wouldn’t take you.”

“You’re quite good at comforting people,” Shu Yang said, “Give you another chance, say it again.”

Shuangxu looked at her, then changed her angle, “Don’t worry, you’re still bigger than me even after losing a cup.”

“That’s better,” Shu Yang was satisfied, adjusting the angle of her wig in the mirror, glancing at Shuangxu who was pretending to be sick on the bed, “You’re not happy today, are you?”

Shuangxu pondered for a moment and asked, “Senior, if you have to have sex with a man, but he will also have sex with other women, how do you overcome the psychological barrier?”

Shu Yang turned around, sat on the bed, and adopted a posture for a heart-to-heart talk, “First, you need to clarify one thing: is this ‘psychological barrier’ simply a physiological cleanliness issue, or… are you jealous?”

Her relationship with He Tingzhou, how could there be any jealousy, it was too obvious.

Shuangxu thought for a moment and said, “The former.”

“Then it’s much easier,” Shu Yang asked, “Is this ‘must’ voluntary or forced?”

Shuangxu replied, “Voluntary.”

“So, is he your partner?”

“No.”

Shu Yang, wearing a pink wig and an empty Victoria’s Secret cup, shrugged comically, “So, you already have the answer.”

Shuangxu was silent for a moment before nodding, “I understand. Thank you.”

She chose this kind of relationship herself, and He Tingzhou wasn’t her partner, there was no such thing as fidelity between them.

Shu Yang didn’t know what she had been through, why she faced such a choice, but she knew Shuangxu.

“Junior sister, your love experience is too blank,

“That’s the complexity of human beings. We can’t tell the difference between the physical and the spiritual, so it’s easy to go astray.”

She was afraid that Shuangxu Sequence would fall into a love she shouldn’t, afraid that she would suffer the pain of love, but she couldn’t say more.

She had to taste the bitterness herself.

Shu Yang patted Shuangxu Sequence’s shoulder with love: “Your senior sister has been in love a few times, and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that men are just for fun. The only things you can truly hold in your hands are career and money.”

“This sentence is for you too.”

“Okay.” Shuangxu Sequence nodded. “I’ll go back and engrave it on the company wall, brainwashing everyone to work for the two of us.”

“Hahaha, good idea!” Shu Yang laughed. “Congratulations, you’ve mastered the true meaning of capitalism.”

Shuangxu Sequence also laughed, the stone in her heart breaking into small pieces, which she would slowly digest.

Back home, she put down her bag and changed into slippers.

The house was quiet as usual. She stared at the empty fish tank for a while, went to take a bath, and went to bed to rest.

Her sleepiness was a bit scattered, and the image of He Tingzhou standing side by side with that beautiful woman kept popping up, so she started counting her breaths to induce sleepiness.

As she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely heard the click of the door opening. It was so light that it was not enough to wake her up from her heavy drowsiness.

Moments later, a wave of warmth pressed against her from behind, like a net, enveloping her tightly.

The straps of her nightgown slipped off, and Shuangxu Sequence, still dazed, mumbled in her half-sleep.

Until the man’s tiger’s mouth pinched her knee bend, forcing his way up, her sleepiness was completely dispelled, and she woke up completely.

The room lights were off, and she heard his low breath.

The man kissed his way up, along her collarbone, to her ear.
