Somewhere in the capital city…
Wen Shufen opened the apartment she shared with her lover. Since her lover was a married man and a government official, their meetings were kept secret especially because Official Ding's wife was known for her fiery attitude.
Once she stepped inside, Wen Shufen found shoes on the doorway, indicating that her lover was inside waiting for her. She couldn't stop the grin that spread across her face when she thought about how she could get even with Lu Xinyi by seeking her lover's help.
She found him in the living room, sitting on the couch; but what startled her was that he didn't bother to turn on the lights. He sat still in his place even though he was aware that she arrived.
"Dear, why didn't you turn on the lights? If I didn't see your silhouette, I might think that someone broke in to harass me," Wen Shufen joked after turning on the lights, dispelling the darkness and coldness she could feel inside their apartment.
