Chapter 383 Different paths lead to the same destination

[Visiting relatives in progress, only one update today, consider it a leave of absence.]

The next morning at 4:30.

Niu Li was fast asleep in the hotel when she was suddenly awakened by the clattering sound of the door opening. Instinctively, she wrapped herself in a towel and whispered, "Who's there?!"

"it's me."

The person who was tiptoeing in immediately replied in a low voice.

"Oh, it's Little Cod."

Upon recognizing Li Xue, Niu Li breathed a sigh of relief, lazily kicking off the towel blanket, exposing her fair skin to the ceiling fan once more.

Li Xue sat down on another single bed and casually retorted, "Who else could it be but me? Aren't we the only two people with the keys to this house?"

"That's not possible."

Niu Li sat up with a yawn, reaching for the bedside table while muttering, "Before the key was given to us, it had to go through several hands. What's so difficult about making a spare key?"
"Let me tell you, the person opening the door with a key in the middle of the night could be a roommate, or it could be a director or producer—wait a minute, it's only 4:30?!"

She looked at her digital watch and exclaimed in surprise, then silently lay back down, muttering, "I guess I'll just sleep a little longer."

Hearing that Niu Li had stopped moving, Li Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Under the cover of night, she secretly rubbed the swollen area so as not to delay her work during the day.

"Hey~"

At this moment, Niu Li suddenly blurted out, "How many rounds did you two have last night?"

"what?"

Li Xue was startled, thinking she had been found out, and stammered guiltily, "Sister Niu, what nonsense are you talking about? I...I was...I was..."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. Don't bother trying to fool me. I'm not stupid."

After Niu Li finished speaking, there was no further movement.

Li Xue then remembered that she had said beforehand that she was going to see her boyfriend, and then she had been sneaking around until now. Anyone would think that way.

Li Xue also lay down on the bed, intending to take a nap to rest, but her mind was racing and she couldn't calm down at all.

When she discovered that the 'distinguished guest' was General Manager Zhang, she was just as shocked as her sister, and she was also thrilled to have gotten on his good side.

But looking back, Li Xue couldn't help but feel scared. This kind of thing seemed absurd no matter how you looked at it. If it was really as President Chen explained: because she was surrounded by wolves during her pregnancy, she was forced to strike first.

What happens after she gets married and has children? Will she be discarded like a hunting dog after the hunt is over?
Even if that's not the case, openly sharing a man with the boss's wife like this is hardly a long-term solution.
Generally, either the first wife drives out the mistress, or the mistress replaces her...

and many more!

Who will take her place, herself or her sister?
According to Li Xue's usual practice, she should have prioritized her older sister, but this was a matter concerning the rest of her life, and it involved replacing President Chen's incredibly prestigious position.

……

It's not surprising that Li Xue would have such wild thoughts. How many ambitious people who have gone astray don't dream of rising to the top in one step?

Even though she was considered intelligent among young women, the intense impact of that night inevitably caused more ambition to creep out from the cracks of her reason.

"Ugh, I can't sleep!"

Just as she was having a brainstorming session, she suddenly heard Niu Li on the next bed sit up abruptly, rubbing her eyes and asking, "Xiao Xue, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll go for a walk and bring breakfast back on the way."

"I'm sorry, Sister Niu, I shouldn't have woken you up—you buy your own food, I'll just eat the crew's boxed lunches." "Oh dear, aren't you tired of eating boxed lunches all the time? Never mind, I'll see if I can bring you anything good to eat."

As Niu Li spoke, she quickly put on jeans and a vest, stuffed a few dozen yuan into her back pocket, and rushed out the door.

Li Xue picked up her pager and checked the time. She found it was just past five o'clock, so she continued to lie in bed and let her mind wander.

I wonder if my sister has woken up yet...

…………

In the hotel.

Li Bingbing, who had just woken up, was lying on the large bed with a dazed look in her eyes. If it weren't for the discomfort in her body constantly reminding her that this was real, she would have almost thought that she was dreaming last night.

After all, I've had similar dreams before, so it's not surprising that I have them again.

I remember that dream from back then.

Li Bingbing reached out and stroked her flat stomach. At first, she thought that dream was just wild speculation and didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

But now that half of the dream has come true, does that mean there's a chance the other half will also come true?

If I could replace President Chen and become the boss's wife who fulfills my dreams...

Wait a minute, where's Xiao Xue?
What should we do with her then?
At this moment, although the two sisters had different thoughts, they reached the same conclusion by different paths. It can only be said that they are indeed sisters, as their ideas are quite similar.

However, unlike Li Xue, Li Bingbing quickly put away her wandering thoughts. After all, she usually had more contact with Tao Hong and knew that Tao Hong was not a woman who was willing to be subordinate to others.

But she sat idly by while Mr. Chen's family held absolute power, and watched Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang walk down the aisle, which in itself seemed very abnormal.

Therefore, there must be something here that I haven't figured out yet, and it certainly won't be easy to take his place.

What my sister and I need to do now is to remain humble and patient, and wait until we understand the situation before making a decision. Otherwise, if we rashly develop any inappropriate desires, we may end up in a situation from which there is no redemption.

Around 6:30, she finally managed to get up, put on her underwear and coat with a furrowed brow, and quickly washed up in the bathroom before preparing to return to the hotel booked by the film crew.

By the time you get back, the film crew should have already set off.

This was also what Li Bingbing had thought of. She didn't plan to stay with the crew today, and the reason was readily available: she needed to stay at the hotel to make final preparations for tomorrow's official filming.

This was something she had discussed with Li Xue before she came, which is why she bravely accepted the pleasure last night and took on most of the harm—otherwise, if both sisters were unable to move around easily, it would be too easy to attract attention.

Just as she was about to leave, Li Bingbing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly searched carefully again, finally pulling out the stained bed sheet from under the bed.

Unfolding the bed sheet and looking at the two conspicuous red marks in the center, Li Bingbing couldn't help but recall the scene from yesterday when Boss Zhang half-coaxed and half-tricked him into taking the photos.

My sister and I were lying on this sheet, posing as if we were flying side by side...

Li Bingbing shook her head, trying to put the embarrassing scene behind her. She looked at the bed sheet in her hand and started to worry. She didn't want to keep it, but there wasn't enough space in her handbag to fit it.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and borrowed a pair of scissors from the waiter, cutting off the two conspicuous red marks in the middle.

I don't even know which one is mine and which one belongs to Xiao Xue...

Never mind, let's keep them all for now.
