Chapter 52: Snow Will Fall

"What are you standing there for? Let’s go." He Wei called out to Zhou Xue when he saw her frozen at the doorway of the break room. He Wei’s words brought Zhou Xue back to her senses, but she was still thinking about the earlier problem. In the past month, He Wei had asked her out seven or eight times. Apart from heading straight to the hotel, he always brought her a bouquet of bright red roses, her favorite flower. Normally, he would also buy her some things or have his secretary send them to her. Moreover, her resources had improved too. Her agent said it was all thanks to He Wei’s efforts, though she no longer believed her agent’s words, this still caused some stirrings in her heart. Does He Wei really like her? The two stood in the elevator. Zhou Xue sneakily glanced at He Wei, trying to appear nonchalant. Hmm, actually, He Wei is quite handsome. Otherwise, why would so many girls flock to him? Zhou Xue also knew about He Wei’s past "achievements." But women are emotional, looking at how He Wei had behaved recently, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t a bit moved. No woman can remain indifferent to a man who treats her well and is considerate, and Zhou Xue was no exception. But her beginning with He Wei was really not good. Zhou Xue’s so-called "sneaky glance" seemed utterly childish to He Wei. All these days of sending flowers, gifts, resources, and his warm concerns finally softened Zhou Xue a little. Honestly, women as beautiful and simple as Zhou Xue are rare, he was becoming somewhat serious, but he wouldn’t abandon a vast forest full of beauty for one single tree. He Wei liked Zhou Xue’s simplicity yet despised it, as a little bit of kindness easily hooked her. If it weren’t for his "good" friends who could swap girlfriends inviting him out today, he might’ve continued the charade for a few more days. —Ding— The elevator doors opened, and Zhou Xue and He Wei walked out, heading to the parking lot. A few minutes later, a black sports car merged into traffic, heading to their destination. As soon as she got out of the car, Zhou Xue could hear the ear-piercing metal music coming from the small cottage, making her frown in discomfort. He Wei seemed accustomed to such sounds. He handed the key to the approaching staff and walked straight into the small villa. "Brother Wei, you’re finally here~" A seductive beauty twisted her waist and pressed up against He Wei as soon as he walked in. He Wei wrapped his hand around her slender waist, and the seductive beauty fell into his arms, kissing him wantonly. "Ohhh! Brother Wei, you’re mighty!" "Wow, Meimei truly deserves to be the ’Number One’ from Heaven on Earth! So enticing!" "French kiss! French kiss! French kiss!" Zhou Xue watched the crowd jeering and the two people kissing as if nobody was around and felt like an idiot for what she had thought in the elevator. How could she believe that a philanderer would forsake a plentiful forest for her?! She actually had ridiculous fantasies about He Wei, this scumbag! Zeng Xu stood in the crowd watching Zhou Xue. Seeing her expression, he could tell that this woman had actually fallen for the man who violated her, it was utterly ridiculous. He slowly approached Zhou Xue, pulling her into a corner on the first floor. Seeing it was Zeng Xu pulling her, Zhou Xue shook off his hand in disgust. "What do you want!" "Don’t be mad. I just didn’t want you to feel too awkward. Do you really want to stay there and watch their passionate display?" Zeng Xu explained. "Ha, none of your business! The weasel paying a New Year’s visit to the hen, don’t think you have any good intentions!" Zeng Xu shrugged indifferently, "Suit yourself. After all, I did you wrong before, but there’s nothing I can do about that. I just didn’t want you to see what you couldn’t bear, didn’t expect this is just me being extra." "Here’s some advice, consider it an apology for spiking your drink before. Don’t drink randomly tonight; leave early, these parties aren’t for you, don’t be naive, people like He Wei have no heart." After saying that, Zeng Xu turned and left, blending back into the crowd. Zhou Xue still stood in the corner watching how the kiss between He Wei and that woman spurred the atmosphere into something ambiguous and erotic. Some even began to make out defiantly, with others starting to grope the people in their arms. "Ugh..." Zhou Xue turned and leaned against the wall, unwilling to look at the disgusting scene. She almost threw up, feeling physically nauseated by the depravity before her. "What’s wrong? Beauty Zhou, are you pregnant?" A sleazy voice came from behind, the voice then shouted to the crowd’s center, "Brother Wei is amazing! About to be a dad so quickly!" "Hahaha! Mighty Brother Wei! That’s no empty claim." "Tsk." Annoyed, He Wei let go of Meimei and walked towards Zhou Xue. Just as Zhou Xue turned around, he and Meimei had already tumbled onto the enormous sofa in the living room, Meimei’s skirt was already hiked up to her thighs, gazing sultrily at He Wei. He Wei walked to Zhou Xue’s side, reaching to lift her chin. Zhou Xue avoided his hand before he could touch her, saying disdainfully, "Don’t touch me, disgusting!" The sleazy voice rang out again, "Hahaha, Brother Wei got snubbed by Beauty Zhou!" The eyes of the crowd fell on He Wei and Zhou Xue. Pushing He Wei away, Zhou Xue tried to leave, having realized there was something wrong with this party, apart from Zeng Xu’s warning. Who would passionately kiss in a banquet hall at a normal party? However, after fishing her for a month, He Wei finally managed to bring her here, so how could he let her leave? He grabbed Zhou Xue’s arm. "Let me go! I’m going back!" Struggling in vain, Zhou Xue verbally demanded to be released. "Come upstairs with me." Ignoring Zhou Xue’s struggle, He Wei half embraced, half dragged Zhou Xue upstairs, locking her in a bedroom, and went back downstairs to continue the interrupted passion. Zeng Xu silently watched everything unfold from the crowd. He truly thought Zhou Xue was pure to the point of stupidity, how had she survived in the complex environment of the entertainment industry before? Still managing to be so popular? He had warned her, yet she still ended up being locked up... He put down his wine glass, signaled to the person next to him that he wanted to use the restroom, and quietly headed upstairs when people weren’t looking. Yet even he didn’t know this small villa was equipped with surveillance cameras in every corner, including the staircase, to prevent certain things. Just as he slipped upstairs, He Wei downstairs was disrupted again by a phone call. Bearing his anger, he answered the call, "You better have something important!" "Mr. He, someone’s sneaking up to the second floor!"
