Chapter 4: As Wished

The sun was sinking, the light turning dim and golden. Another beautiful day.

Luo Weiwei walked in with a small briefcase slung over her shoulder, humming softly to "I Can't Help but Love." Her light, cheerful steps seemed to carry her from the first floor to the seventh in the blink of an eye. The feeling of freedom was wonderful.

She deftly fished out her key and slid it into the lock. With a soft click, the burglar-proof door opened. Luo Weiwei froze slightly, then pushed the door open and stepped inside. The bathroom light by the side was on, and the washing machine was rumbling away with a steady buzz. There was also the sound of water flushing, which meant someone was in the bathroom.

Mom must be home.

Luo Weiwei walked to the sofa in the living room, dropped her little briefcase onto the glass coffee table beside her, and called toward the bathroom, "Mom, you're back? Why are you home so early?"

"I wasn't feeling well, so I took leave and came back early," came Chen Huijuan's somewhat hoarse voice from the small bathroom.

"Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Luo Weiwei asked with concern, hearing the change in her mother's voice.

"I'm fine. Just a small issue."

"Oh, as long as it's nothing. Maybe you caught a chill, your voice is all off. And if you're not feeling well, you should rest more. Don't bother with all these chores."

"Mom..."

Sitting on the sofa, Luo Weiwei noticed that the slightly dusty beige ceramic floor beneath her feet had suddenly become clean and tidy. She exclaimed, "Mom, if you're not feeling well, why did you still mop the floor?"

"Didn't you always do the mopping from Friday to Tuesday?"

"It's nothing, no big deal." Chen Huijuan turned off the light, came out of the bathroom, sat down beside her daughter on the small side sofa, wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and stretched lazily.

"What is it? Do I have flowers on my face?" Chen Huijuan keenly noticed her daughter staring at her.

"Mom, I feel like you've changed a lot lately."

"How have I changed?"

"Before, I thought you were going through menopause and always had such a short fuse. Now I think you're more..." Luo Weiwei actually couldn't find the words.

Her mother used to always meddle in this and ask about that.

Especially when it came to finding her a husband.

"More like what?"

"Like... like you've got a second spring. You look radiant." The atmosphere was relaxed enough that Luo Weiwei even dared to tease her mother.

"Tch, you brat. Seems I really should marry you off sooner so you stop talking nonsense."

"You still thinking about that son-in-law of yours?"

"You little brat, his family background is good. You... why were you never interested back then?"

"Mom, times have changed. There are plenty of people chasing me at school. Besides, I still want to have fun for a few more years."

Luo Weiwei didn't notice anything strange in the way her mother spoke.

A pounding at the door cut off their conversation.

"Who is it? I'll get it in a second!"

Chen Huijuan was just about to stand up when her daughter stopped her.

Luo Weiwei got up and opened the door. Outside was Sister Zhao, holding a small packet of medicine.

After exchanging greetings, Luo Weiwei invited Sister Zhao inside to sit in the living room. She didn't notice the slightest flicker of panic in her mother's eyes or the awkward smile that appeared on her face.

"Huijuan, you really need to pay attention to your health. I brought this packet of medicine especially for you. Try it. It's supposed to work best for night sweats and sleep."

"All right, all right." Chen Huijuan nodded, staring fixedly at her friend's moving lips, terrified she might say something wrong.

"Anyway, Huijuan, if anything comes up, we can talk about it back at work." Luckily, Sister Zhao also had a pile of family matters waiting for her after work. After a few more reminders, she took her leave.

Luo Weiwei urged her from the side, "Sister Zhao, don't go so soon. Stay for dinner before you leave."

"No need, I've got a mess waiting for me at home. Another day." Sister Zhao stood and politely declined the young woman's offer. As mother and daughter saw her to the door, she reminded Chen Huijuan on her way out, "Huijuan, you really must go to bed early tonight. Don't do what you did today and show up late. It was almost noon. You know how the supervisor is. This time he'll probably let it slide because you're an old hand, but next time who knows what he'll be saying behind your back."

**********

After Sister Zhao left, Luo Weiwei felt that her mother was different. Chen Huijuan had been gloomy for quite a while, forcing a smile, but Luo Weiwei knew she was like a powder keg at the moment, liable to explode at any second.

She felt as if she had figured out some of her mother's weak points. She was curious about why her mother had shown up late, but she didn't understand it and didn't dare ask.

And why had her mother washed her bedsheets too? Why did the mattress have that faintly slutty smell?

At dinner, after hesitating for a long time, Luo Weiwei finally spoke up. "Mom, I didn't see that little coworker of yours after school today."

"Eat your food. What are you talking about?" Chen Huijuan frowned slightly, not understanding what her daughter was getting at.

"You know, I heard he works the night shift. Before, whether he was on nights or days, the son-in-law you had your eye on would always come back and wait for me to pick me up."

"Oh."

"Maybe he hasn't come because he was still asleep and overslept?"

"Why do you care about that? He's an adult. He should know how to take care of himself."

"Why don't you call and ask?"

"Hmph!" Chen Huijuan stuffed a few big mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, then pulled out her phone and stood up to go into the master bedroom.

"Hello, Xiao Gao, are you at work?"

"What do you mean, at work? Are you a pig?"

"You've really got nothing better to do all day, do you? Look at you."

At the table, Luo Weiwei showed a sly little fox-like smile. Hmph. Serves him right for clinging to her all day. Consider that my revenge.

"Yes, yes, yes, good sister, it was my fault."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Qi immediately admitted his mistake. He knew he'd gone a little too far today.

They had gone at it several times and both ended up falling asleep right there. Gao Qi had worked the night shift, then used up all his energy on her that morning; he had already been sleeping like a dead pig when Chen Huijuan kicked him off the bed to wake him up.

After finally coaxing Chen Huijuan into calming down, Gao Qi narrowed his eyes and recalled the scene from noon when he woke up, when she was changing clothes and he took advantage of the moment to grope and kiss her all over. He also remembered how, in the end, she had no choice but to shove him out the door.

Feeling the erection rising in his crotch again, he immediately made a decision.

**********

Late at night, Luo Weiwei was woken by the urge to pee. Insomnia was a woman's natural enemy. She was extremely committed to getting a good night's sleep.

She lowered her head and lifted the eye mask on her face a little, then, half-asleep, went to the bathroom to take care of her bodily needs. When she passed through the living room, she noticed a faint strip of light leaking through the crack in the master bedroom door.

She walked to the bedroom door and called, "Mom, aren't you asleep yet? Sister Zhao told you to go to bed early."

"Oh... mm... I know."

"Mm... you go to sleep first, okay?"

"Okay." Still groggy with sleep, Luo Weiwei didn't notice the change in her mother's voice. Dazedly answering, she staggered back to her bed.

Deep asleep, Luo Weiwei would never have guessed that just one wall away, in the master bedroom belonging to her parents, an uninvited guest had arrived on the family bed. An entirely different kind of greeting was taking place.

Her mother, Chen Huijuan, was in bed with a young man not much older than herself.

"Ah... mm... don't... ah..." The good wife and mother on the bed was secretly cheating. Her flushed red lips were clamped tightly over the blanket as muffled moans slipped out.

Chen Huijuan had never imagined that her little lover would actually take leave, and what was bolder was that he had come looking for her.

Even more unexpected was that he had barged in in the middle of the night. Unlike before, he hadn't gone to a rented room or booked a hotel.

Night gave everyone a chance to release their desires, and it also bred plenty of them.

"Sister Juan, this slutty outfit is fucking gorgeous," Gao Qi said, kissing the woman's swanlike neck while his eyes drifted toward the family portrait on the bedside cabinet. A satisfied, triumphant feeling filled his chest.

"From now on, you can only be my good wife. You'll let only me fuck you, got it?"

"Mm... got it." Chen Huijuan answered at once. Right then, the only thing on her mind was soothing the man on top of her first.

"Sister Juan, you're such a sexy vixen," Gao Qi praised as he thrust his lower body against her.

"Ah... go slower..." Chen Huijuan clenched her full hips and responded, whispering, "Mm... slower... keep it down... focus... mm... ah... be careful... mm... the next room... mm... a little quieter..."

Damn it, he had teased her mother in the daytime from the other side of the wall, and now he was fucking her from the other side of it at night. He was truly rotten to the core.

Chen Huijuan and Gao Qi, that pair of mature, reckless lovers, were writhing together on the big bed.

If we rewind to the first time Gao Qi saw Chen Huijuan tonight, standing at the entrance to her home, it went like this.

Chen Huijuan's thick black hair was styled into a classic twisted bun. The delicate, pretty line of her brows looked even more elegant and elongated under the black eyebrow pencil.

Her once bright and clear eyes were now paired with glossy smoky eye shadow, framed by long, curling lashes.

With just a slight glance, she seemed to radiate endless charm.

Her brows spoke desire, her eyes carried soul.

Even her originally soft pink lips had been dyed a hot, vivid red with lipstick.

He was captivated. He fell for her. So before she even had a chance to quietly close the door, he suddenly and forcefully carried her into the master bedroom. Before she could react.

By the time he reached the master bedroom and laid her on the bed, he finally saw her in full.

She was wearing a black, long-sleeved dress. The fabric and cut were fairly ordinary, but her long, rounded legs were wrapped in sexy black fishnet stockings, paired with pointed red-soled stiletto heels that were outrageously seductive.

The whole look gave off the feeling of a witch, a forty-something beauty witch, the most bewitching temptress in the night.

Gao Qi impatiently undid the dress and tossed it aside, only to be rewarded with an even greater surprise. Underneath, the woman was wearing an open-crotch black fishnet bodysuit that was enough to make anyone's eyes pop.

With her bent over and pressed against him on the bed, her pale skin was divided by the fishnet into tightly packed diamonds, like a black python lying across the mattress. Combined with her gorgeous face, she looked even more like the legendary beauty snake.

And most eye-catching of all, right at the crease between her sexy, sculpted hips was a red diamond-shaped gem, reflecting a vivid, dazzling, and utterly seductive crimson glow in the white light of the room.

Waiting for the one fated to pluck it.

"Sister Juan, you're so beautiful. To receive your love is more than I deserve in three lifetimes."

"Mm... mm... ah... mm..."

Pinned beneath Gao Qi on the bed, Chen Huijuan felt the man's lower abdomen grinding and thrusting between her full ass cheeks, a gentle, rainlike exchange where spirit and desire merged in perfect harmony.

Gao Qi didn't resort to his usual smug, filthy trash talk. Calling the relationship between them mere "fuck buddies" would have been an insult to the woman.

The reason it would be an insult was simple: Chen Huijuan was too beautiful when she dressed up seriously. She was too alluring. No, she was too hot, too much exactly his type.

"Sister, I'm coming... ah... take it..." Gao Qi growled as he drove his hips hard against her lower body, trying to ram his whole cock inside.

At the critical moment, the woman above him flushed red and let out a low moan. "Ah... I'm coming too... mm... ah..."

She had reached orgasm as well.

With the repeated thrusting and twisting of the pounding, the woman's sexy ankles would occasionally lift slightly, making her whole body seem to sink deep into the soft mattress.

It was as if she had been nailed to the bed, a sexy beauty snake pinned there helplessly. No matter how she struggled and writhed, it was useless. She could only wait to be nailed and spent.

"Sister Juan, my good sister." Gao Qi had barely finished cumming before he was hard again. He thrust into the woman's wet pussy.

"Ah... no... don't... slower..." Clearly the second round would last even longer than the first.

Chen Huijuan felt like the man on top of her wanted to eat her up whole and swallow her into his stomach.

On the woman's side, sensitivity only kept increasing.

It was a contest of one side ebbing while the other surged.

"Sister, I want to go all night."

"Uh... no... after we're done with this... oh... go back right away... mm..."

"No... I want all night."

"Mm... no... ah... don't pull my ass, it hurts..." A flicker of discomfort crossed Chen Huijuan's flushed face as Gao Qi's wicked hand reached toward her back entrance.

"Good sister, good wife, if you want me to go back, fine. I want this place." Gao Qi pointed at the bright red plug and made his condition.

"Ah... don't press there... it's uncomfortable... ah... no... that's not what I meant..."

"Sister, my birthday is still days away. I can't wait," Gao Qi said, like a dog humping a big bitch, nestling against the woman's white neck and kissing it as he acted spoiled. "I want my present early. Good wife, every part of you is mine. I love you."

"Then..."

The woman's heart skipped. Being loved felt wonderful.

"Ah..."

A terribly painful scream shattered Luo Weiwei's sweet dream.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Luo Weiwei sat up in bed and was just about to get out when her mother's voice came back at once.

"It's nothing... mm... I cramped up while sleeping. You go back to sleep. You've got school tomorrow."

"Mom, why does your voice sound so hoarse?"

"Mm... mm..."

"Mom, why aren't you talking?"

"All right. Stop asking so many questions. What's with all these questions? I caught a chill, so my voice is a little hoarse. I'm... mm... rubbing my foot."

"Mom..."

"Mm, it's already most of the night. It's just a small thing... all right, stop talking and go to sleep."

"Tch." Held back by her mother's authority, Luo Weiwei pouted. Hmph. Always using the authority of an elder to scare people.

The next morning, Luo Weiwei overslept and shot up in bed. She checked the time and saw there were only fifteen minutes left before school started. She was going to be late, yet her mother, who was usually up early, hadn't called her at all. She got up at once and opened the door. There was no trace of any breakfast smell in the dining room.

She knocked on the master bedroom door, and a faint rustling sound came from inside. Luo Weiwei didn't think much of it. Just as she was about to speak, her mother's hoarse voice came from within: "Weiwei, I'm not feeling well. Buy something on the way and eat it."

"All right, Mom. You should get some rest. I'm almost late."

About fifteen minutes after the girl left, with a thud the bedroom door opened, revealing Gao Qi in disheveled clothes. He covered his head with one hand while backing out and fastening his belt with the other.

The motion looked like an apology. Then a man's shoe flew past his face by the narrowest margin.

The instant Gao Qi bent down to pick up the shoe, the bedroom door slammed shut again.

Gao Qi gave an awkward smile. The outcome was obvious: he had gone back on his word. Looking toward the kitchen, he understood immediately. If you're going to take a beating, stand up straight. Better make a few of his specialty dishes to coax his lover back into a good mood.
