The next day at noon, the person in bed lazily opened their eyes, looking at the messy clothes on the floor and the warmth beside them. It was then that Li Yian realized he had gone crazy here last night.
"Stanah," he said, tapping her shoulder. Stanah, who was lying on the bed, murmured sleepily, "No, don't look for me, Jili... Jili is outside..."
Is she really this generous?
She seemed to say the same thing last night. Thinking about Jili's disheveled appearance from yesterday, Li Yian's mood couldn't help but sway.
It seems like it's worth considering... but this bed is too small, it's only 1.2 meters wide. Maybe it's not a bad idea for the three of us to sleep together under the same blanket.
Of course, that's just a thought. After all, there are still important matters to attend to.
After getting dressed and stepping out, Li Yian saw Jili. When she saw him, her expression was haggard, and her heart fluttered.
Apologizing for the disturbance last night, Li Yian said, "I'm sorry for bothering you."
"No, it's okay..." Jili began to say but then bit her tongue. What was she saying? Was she telling this man that she quite liked hearing that?
Amidst Jili's embarrassed confusion, Li Yian said seriously, "You should go discuss it with Stanah."
Another eye roll. Jili, still looking tired, yawned.
"No, I need to catch up on some sleep. It's uncomfortable sleeping on the couch."
With that, Li Yian didn't even bother to pay attention as he walked straight into the room and slept with Stanah on the bed.
Is this okay?
Looking at the two beautiful women on the bed... Li Yian chose to leave.
A man's career should take precedence!
While Tommy and the others were raising funds for a car, Li Yian rented an office in London and registered a company. It wasn't really a full-fledged company, just a branch office for Zhenhua Company in the UK.
Compared to the discrimination against Chinese people in the United States, at least there were no lawyers in the UK who felt money was hard to come by. As long as you could afford it, the lawyers would handle everything. With the help of a lawyer, it only took one day to establish the Zhenhua Company's London branch office.
"So, you want me to manage the company for you?" Stanah, dressed in a small dress, looked at the spacious office in front of her, her eyes shining with undisguised joy.
"Yes, but it's not really managing. The business is straightforward; it's just about liaising with clients. Every week, you'll submit their purchase orders, which I'll send to New York by telegraph," Li Yian said straightforwardly.
"I'll be going to New York at the end of the month. For the foreseeable future, I'll be primarily based there. If I have time, I'll try to come back here. In London, besides you, I don't know who else I can trust."
"You're going to New York again..." Stanah's eyes dimmed a lot, but Li Yian walked over, embracing her waist.
"In the future, you'll have to look after things here in London," he said softly in her ear. "Dear, promise me, whenever you have time, you'll come back to see me, okay?"
Although Stanah enjoyed her time with Li Yian, she knew they were just lovers, and it would only ever be that way.
"Of course," he said softly in her ear. Then his gaze fell on the spacious desk. The desk was wide...
What was there to hesitate about?
Flowers should be picked when they bloom; there's no need to fear without curtains...
...
As it turned out, it didn't matter without curtains...
In the following days, apart from being immersed in love and the pleasure of the soul, there was nothing else. With no one else around, even the lone light bulb looked itching to join in, although it felt the same way inside.
Once again, Stanah, wearing only a thin silk nightgown, walked out of the room. Standing in front of the fridge, she opened it to get some water. Jili, lying on the sofa, said with resentment, "Dear, if you keep this up, I'll die."
Seeing Jili sit up from the sofa, illuminated by the light from the fridge, Stanah, equally, saw the dark circles under her eyes. Now she finally understood why Stanah looked so beautiful lately; she was being nourished from head to toe, like a peeled egg, juicy and delicious. It made her want to take a few bites!
"Dear, I'm sorry, did you feel rushed?" Stanah approached Jili, holding the water, and said with a smile.
"Or maybe you'd like to join us?"
"What!" Jili's eyes widened in shock. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying we could all be together..." Stanah whispered in her ear. "He's young, handsome, and you've heard... he's very good! Come on, let's go together..."
Looking at Jili, Stanah's voice was full of temptation. In fact, she had her own plan. She wanted to bring Jili into bed, and with the two of them together... they would surely attract this man and make him come back to London more often.
For Stanah, who had returned to high society, she didn't want to fall back to the bottom of society, and this man could ensure that. Besides, he was very young and handsome. Being with him made her happy, like returning to her youth and falling in love again. But Stanah knew that she was a married woman, and there would be no future with him.
So... she needed Jili.
"I... I..." Jili bit her lip lightly, hesitant. But she was already being pulled up by Stanah, and like that, she was dragged into the room.
Lying on the bed waiting for Stanah to bring water, Li Yian opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, and he could see two figures entering the room in the moonlight.
It's her!
In an instant, Li Yian couldn't help but swallow, and Stanah had already brought Jili in, pulled her to the bedside, and then crawled over, looking at him with a coquettish voice.
"Dear, your tea is here..."
