Chapter 113: The Premier Factory of Fengcheng

For a while, Shen Guodong also fell silent.

After all, he was now part of the system too, with a post that came with an official position.

In this era, a job like that was still a fairly safe refuge for ordinary people.

But if he were to start coming and going with Zhou Meiniang in such a pair, it would surely give people plenty to gossip about.

Just as Shen Guodong was lost in thought, Zhou Meiniang’s soft voice came from beside him.

“I’m done washing. Are you going to take a shower?”

His train of thought abruptly broken, Shen Guodong turned his head.

Zhou Meiniang was now wearing a pure white nightgown, her damp hair hanging down as she slowly made her way to the bed.

Even in such an ordinary nightgown, it could not conceal her proud figure.

For an instant, even Shen Guodong, who in his previous life had seen countless women and every sort of stunning body and supermodel figure, felt a stir of heat in his chest.

Zhou Meiniang naturally noticed the flames in his eyes as well.

Her cheeks slightly flushed, she gave him a soft scold.

“You lecher, what are you staring at? Hurry up and go shower. After you’re done, sleep. I’m exhausted today.”

Seeing her now, with that alluring, graceful bearing, Shen Guodong nodded and said, “All right, I’ll go now.”

He ran into the bathroom and took a cold shower.

Only then did Shen Guodong finally calm himself.

Although his relationship with Zhou Meiniang had improved quite a bit, it was obviously not the time to truly cross that line.

If he did, then when he went home tomorrow, he would still have to face his wife, and he had no idea how he would manage that.

After washing quickly, Shen Guodong came out and saw Zhou Meiniang already tucked into the blankets, with only a little head peeking out.

Seeing her adorable look, he shook his head and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t touch you tonight.”

He walked around to the side, lifted a corner of the blanket, and slipped in.

The moment he lifted the covers, he caught that familiar fragrance from Zhou Meiniang’s body.

That sudden scent instantly stirred his thoughts.

At that moment, Zhou Meiniang seemed to be thinking of something too; her whole body was like a little brazier, very warm, and before long the whole bed had grown hot.

Feeling the scene before him, Shen Guodong, despite his excellent self-control, could hardly hold back in such circumstances.

Without another word, he lunged like a hungry tiger and pulled Zhou Meiniang into his arms.

Zhou Meiniang had actually been somewhat puzzled in her heart, thinking why this fellow still had not made a move, not at all like his usual style.

Last time in Shenyang, that bald man had ruined their good moment; now no one was interrupting them, so surely this was the perfect time.

Sensing Shen Guodong’s movement, Zhou Meiniang had already closed her eyes, ready to respond.

Who would have thought that Shen Guodong would simply take her into his arms and do nothing more?

Seeing this, Zhou Meiniang opened her eyes in surprise and asked, “What’s wrong?”

This time, Shen Guodong did not pretend ignorance. He shook his head and said, “Forget it. We’re already in Fengcheng now.”

“Some things are rather sensitive. Let me sort things out with my wife first. There’s no need to rush.”

Hearing this, Zhou Meiniang’s heart gave a sudden tremor, and she asked directly, “Is it because I’ve caused you some trouble?”

She was a little nervous now too. After all, she had truly come to rely on Shen Guodong. If, in his life, he now felt she was not good, then for the two of them, it might indeed be hard to bear.

Shen Guodong shook his head and said, “That’s not it. The main issue is with me.”

“After all, if I were to take you in now, and people found out later, it might not be very good for your reputation or your standing.”

“And with the way public opinion is now, and since you work in a factory, if the two of us were to get caught in a scandal like this, there’d probably be a lot of people wagging their tongues.”

Of course, Shen Guodong was not afraid of such pressure from public opinion himself. What he truly worried about was Zhou Meiniang. She was already so beautiful; if she were then subjected to this kind of gossip and attack, the pressure on her could be immense.

“So, rest assured. You are my woman, and you will never escape me in this lifetime.”

“As for whether I’ll eat you or not, that’s only a matter of time. We’ll wait until we find a good opportunity later. There’s no need to rush.”

At this, Zhou Meiniang’s face instantly turned bright red as she said, “Tch, who’s your woman?”

After saying that, she turned over at once, lying on her side in Shen Guodong’s arms and drifting off to sleep.

Seeing that Zhou Meiniang seemed to have accepted it, Shen Guodong did not hesitate any longer and simply held the woman from behind.

The next morning, Shen Guodong was the first to wake.

Perhaps because he had returned to Fengcheng, he had been roused by the sound of the factory starting up.

Alert, Shen Guodong glanced at the clock. It was already eight in the morning.

It was exactly the time the factory opened for work.

Perhaps because his movement getting out of bed was a little too large, it woke Zhou Meiniang, who was still fast asleep beside him.

Zhou Meiniang murmured, “What is it? Early in the morning, are we already supposed to go to work?”

Shen Guodong shook his head and said, “Forget it. It should be fine if we go to the factory a bit later today. After all, news of our successful bid may already have made its way back to Fengcheng.”

As soon as he said that, Shen Guodong turned over and pulled Zhou Meiniang into his arms once more.

Then, by a curious coincidence, his large hand rested directly upon Zhou Meiniang’s softness.

In an instant, Zhou Meiniang gave a soft, embarrassed sound.

Of course, if Zhou Meiniang did not speak, Shen Guodong would not speak either. As if he knew nothing, he continued pretending to be innocent, sleeping while savoring the softness in his arms.

After a while, Zhou Meiniang’s breathing grew heavier and heavier.

Her body also became hotter and hotter.

Shen Guodong naturally sensed the changes in her body and asked with deliberate mischief, “What’s wrong?”

Zhou Meiniang let out another shy murmur. “I-I’m fine. Go to sleep.”

Seeing her embarrassed state, Shen Guodong truly found it hard to restrain himself.

He even thought that perhaps he should just devour her outright. But after thinking it over, reason still prevailed over desire.

Taking Zhou Meiniang would certainly cause no problem in itself, but if it later stirred up unfavorable public opinion, that would be unfair to her.

Thus the two of them remained in that intimate position until nearly ten o’clock, when Zhou Meiniang finally said, “Let’s get up.”

She had long since lost any sleepiness, and her lovely face looked as though it might drip with water.

“Of course. If you want to get up, I certainly have no objection.”

Zhou Meiniang said in羞 irritation, “You lecher, all you know is taking advantage of me. Hurry and get up. We still have to go to the factory today.”

Beside her, Shen Guodong was still lying in bed, lighting a cigarette as he said, “After all, now that our First Lathe Factory has won this bid, it can be said to have directly become Fengcheng’s number-one factory. Isn’t that right?”
