Zhou Qing was shouting and acting all dramatic in the next room, while Zheng Gongdong’s face turned as dark as Bao Gong’s. The new lover stood next to him, stunned, because the person next door was really yelling in such an exaggerated, passionate way.

The nurse who came to stop them was also taken aback by the noise inside and how shamelessly loud they were. She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t move. Even though she had seen a lot, she still had to cover her red face and go call the doctor to handle the situation.

Zhou Qing’s screams were so loud they could have rattled the walls, sending shivers down Zhang Shirui’s spine and making his desire surge like never before. When he finally reached his peak, he let out a deep, primal roar. The entire floor fell into silence, except for the echoes of their lingering sounds.

The subordinates were completely at a loss for words.

After Zhou Qing finished, he pulled Zhang Shirui to leave, and no one dared to stand in his way.

If they had once thought Brother Qing was a ruthless leader who always meant what he said, now they were even more convinced that there was nothing he wouldn’t dare to do.

Although it wasn’t done openly, his actions were even more provocative and shameless than if they had been done in front of everyone. Clearly, Brother Qing had complete control of the situation.. 

Even the boss was taken aback.

The man who had followed him for over ten years was now humiliating him in the next room, indulging in pleasure without a care. Zheng Gongdong’s pride was completely shattered.

Yet, there was nothing he could do to Zhou Qing.

Because he had made it clear: “The bridge is for crossing, and the road is for walking. If you dare touch me, Zheng Gongdong, be careful, I’ll make sure we both go down together.”

Zheng Gongdong couldn’t afford to take Zhou Qing’s words lightly. That madman was indeed capable of it!

He had no choice but to swallow his pride, grit his teeth, and accept it, even though it stung deep in his heart.

Because in the beginning, it was he who crossed the line and offended Zhou Qing.

But Zhou Qing was really something else. He was just a thug who had clawed his way up from nothing, and now he was talking about loyalty and virtue. Wasn’t that a joke? Hadn’t he, Zheng Gongdong, been loyal to Zhou Qing all this time? Didn’t that prove how much he loved him?

Was there really a need to make such a big deal out of this? Who didn’t have a few lovers on the side? He had just fooled around a little, and Zhou Qing treated him like this. If he backed down now, then damn it, he wouldn’t be Zheng Gongdong anymore.

Zheng Gongdong’s thoughts were of no concern to Zhou Qing.

Once he had used Zhang Shirui, he quickly kicked him aside and hopped into a car, driving off.

Zhang Shirui, seeing the car door shut too fast to get in, took his subordinate’s car and followed behind.

With his revenge fulfilled, Zhou Qing felt a sense of relief and really didn’t want to dwell on matters with Zheng Gongdong anymore.

After all, there had once been affection between them. Zheng Gongdong had treated him well before, and Zhou Qing still remembered that kindness. He wouldn’t do anything to harm him or use petty matters to get back at him again.

From now on, he and Zheng Gongdong would have no relationship outside of work.

He would do his thing, and Zheng Gongdong would do his.

In this world, no one is irreplaceable. No matter how deep the love, it is just that. It fades, and when it is over, it is over. At worst, he would spend a few years forgetting that affection and eventually find someone new to warm his heart.

As long as a person is alive, they have to keep moving forward. Zhou Qing was not one to drown in sorrow. He was not the type to fall apart if someone left. He had been on his own since his teens, and life had long taught him that when the time came, the best way to protect himself was to have a heart of stone.

Zheng Gongdong’s betrayal cut deep, but even though it felt like a knife slicing through his heart, he would only let that dull blade wound him for a few seconds. No more.

Love and affection were things he gave his all to when he had them, but once they were gone, he would never lower himself to beg for them back.

If it was gone, it was gone.

In this world, everyone loses something. No one should beg, and no one deserves pity.

Just like before, he would do what needed to be done and move on.

Zhou Qing went to the bar to continue looking for men. However, as soon as he arrived, the owner was dumbfounded, the cigarette dropped from his mouth, and he yelled in astonishment, “My Ancestor, could you please change that pair of pants covered in semen before coming back here?”

Zhou Qing casually glanced at his pants, noticing they were indeed in a terrible state, covered in too many stains. He shrugged indifferently and, right there in front of the scattered crowd of about ten or so people in the bar, he began to unbutton them.

At that moment, a dozen or so regulars in the bar turned their eyes like hungry wolves, all fixated on the man at the counter. He was somehow even more seductive fully clothed than bare, making their mouths go dry.
