Traveling overnight

  At night, she went to bed early and slept soundly in her old house where she lived alone since the divorce. Since that day when he slammed down the phone after she mentioned divorce, he had not contacted her again. She didn't know if he was angry or what, but she also got some peace, as his absence meant she didn't have to be so tired.

  She had just lain down and was drowsily entering dreamland when a knock at the door suddenly came from outside. She thought she must have misheard, as her home rarely had visitors, let alone at this late hour, so she turned over, covered her head and continued sleeping.

  Her phone rang again after a while, she looked at his number and answered with some reluctance. Can't you torture people like this? Calling in the middle of the night, before she could say anything, she heard him say somewhat impatiently:

  "Open the door!"

  She only reacted when she realized that the person knocking on the door was him. She hung up the phone, dressed neatly and wrapped herself tightly before going to open the door for him in her slippers. As soon as he came in, his first sentence was:

  "Pack up and let's head back to Wen City immediately!"

  He seemed to have been drinking, with a strong smell of smoke and wine on him. As the door opened and closed, the air flowed in, carrying the smell to her nostrils, she frowned, wrapped herself tightly, took a slight step back, and protested slightly.

  "Can't you leave tomorrow instead? It's already late at night, can't you let people sleep?"

  It's already past 10, she can barely keep her eyes open from exhaustion, and he actually wants to make her rush? Moreover, it's such a long distance, flying overnight from northern China back to the south.

  He stood there, his lips pursed, not saying a word. She felt somewhat uneasy and coughed, intending to turn around and enter the house. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her back, pressing her against the door frame, lowering his head to search for her lips and kissing her. The scorching breath that belonged to him mixed with the wine in his mouth swept away everything of hers.

  Facing his always catching her off guard demands, she instinctively resisted each time, but to no avail. After leaving her lips ravaged and sore, he would bury himself in the crook of her neck, lazily opening his mouth.

  "If you don't want to go, then I'll just spend the night here tonight!"

  He accidentally received the news while entertaining clients tonight, saying that Chen Qingchu, the young master of the Chen Group, would arrive in Wencheng by plane early tomorrow morning. He became restless and hastily retreated from the banquet to rush here overnight, wanting to take her away.

  He knew Chen Qingchu was coming back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He thought that at the very least, she would return in ten days or half a month. Although he clearly knew that Chen Qingchu would eventually come looking for her, he still foolishly wanted to take her away immediately. He had a desperate feeling that if Chen Qingchu found her one day later, he could possess her for one more day.

  As soon as she became his woman, his legitimate and lawful wife, yet because she didn't have him in her heart, he still felt uneasy.

  Xu Liu'er listened to him say that, and in a fit of anger, she suddenly pushed him away, turned around and rushed into the house. Before long, she had packed her things and walked out with them. He leaned against the wall, watching her, feeling both relieved and sad.

  Fortunately, she went back to N city with him, so Chen Qingchu won't be able to find her for the time being. Unfortunately, he said he would spend the night here, and she showed such obvious disgust that she would rather drive all night than stay with him.

  One can only appreciate the potency of wine after getting drunk, and one can only understand the weight of love after having been in love.
