Kiera had asked that question, despite knowing how happy Zhang Renshu felt with her singular act.
Maybe she didn't care about it.
To her question, Zhang Renshu replied, taking off the covers of the plates on the table as she joined him.
"Nothing much. I have missed having a conversation with an intelligent woman like you. Tonight, we shall spend the night here, talking about everything we can remember."
Saying up to here, he gazed into her eyes and added. "I beg you to give me some of your time."
"Hahahaha..." Kiera chuckled with a hand over her lips.
"Of course I will. I have all the time in the world for you. But I hope I will be safe." She probed, hinting at something.
Immediately, Zhang Renshu assured her of her safety.
"My wife can't do anything to you. She can't make me happy. She is just there as a figurative symbol and nothing else. I am already very unhappy with her, so she wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
"Then that's good." She said as she picked up her set of cutlery.
"Tonight, I shall give you all of my attention."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNodding in understanding, Zhang Renshu pointed at the dishes on the table. "I had your favourite dishes prepared for you. Eat to your heart's content."
"Then I will not shy away. Bon appetite."
Zhang Renshu was very happy with his girlfriend's presence such that after having a meal with her, he felt like going straight to be without having a conversation with her.
But he had to speak with her hence, they stayed late into the night talking about so many things that concerned him while she stood behind him with her fingers pressed on his temple.
While listening and responding to him from time to time, Kiera who was already dressed in her silky cream night dress, gave him ahead massage, while being careful not to scratch his skin with her nails.
At the end of the day, they retired to bed in each others arms without doing any other thing.
This was probably what all Zhang Renshu wanted in a wife.
Since he didn't have a good relationship with Shi Wenqian who was his wife, he transferred everything she was supposed to be getting, unto another woman who was giving him what his wife couldn't give to him.
There was more to a partner other than sex. And Zhang Renshu was getting everything from Kiera.
A woman that listened to him and treated him like a king.
A woman that offers him an advice in the best way possible. A woman that massaged his eagle and didn't dare to insult him.
Kiera was indeed a helpmeet, and since she gave him everything his own wife at home couldn't give to him, he stuck only to her instead of playing around with other woman.

The next morning around 6, both Zhang Renshu and Kiera were already up, and getting ready to run their day.
Before separating, Zhang Renshu who was feeling better in heart, mind and soul, asked her to make a request after making him happy the previous night.
"Gifts make me happy unfortunately, I can not reject you," Kiera replied over the breakfast table.
"I know you well..." He replied with a smile. "In that case, tell me what you want."
"Mmmmm...." she contemplated with her head tilted to the side but at the end of the day, she couldn't think of anything, which prompted Zhang Renshu to pass his card to her.
"Get something for yourself today. We will see again this evening."

Shi Wenqian was not that surprised that her husband, Zhang Renshu would sleep out without giving her a heads up.
These days, they were like two enemies sharing a roof together.
Although she was not surprised with his actions, that didn't mean that it dwelled well in her heart.
Sitting alone at the breakfast table with her eyes on the head chair that was empty, she took in a sharp breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTrying so hard to ignore the idea that crept into her head concerning what the man might be up to, she aggressively used her knife and fork to cut a small piece from the fried egg in her plate.
But a few moments later, she was unable to stomach the food spread on the table before her. In anger, she slammed her eating utensils on the table before picking up the napkin to wipe her lips.
Staring at nothing in particular, she said through gritted teeth. "Zhang Renshu, you think you're the only that can cheat and be unmoved about it? You must think I am a learner."
As an invisible smoke puffed through her ears and nose, she drew her chair backwards and got to her feet to walk away, totally ignoring the greeting from Zhang Mingyu who was just coming down for breakfast dressed in a simple tailored suit.

For two days, Zhang Liling spent the best of time with Mr. Fang, making sure to go in dates with him everyday and fortunately, there was no mention of work.
The only time it was necessary was when she suggested to invite Fu Hua and Jia Li to her brand launch, but Fang Bingwen rejected the idea.
"Why is it not possible?" She had asked with an annoyed look on her face.
"Because although we are acquaintances in the business world, we are not close. We haven't met officially before." He tried to explain.
Zhang Liling was so unhappy that the rest of her day was almost ruined.
This was a date that was going on smoothly, but all of a sudden it started to have cracks a because she couldn't send an invite to her favourite celebrity couple.
Seeing that their date had already turned sour, Fang Bingwen immediately tried to manage the situation.
"I already told you I will take you to pay them a visit as soon as we get engaged. Then we can have a more valid reason to encroach into their time."
