Getting married by mistake: Wife, it’s not easy to hug

Chapter 81

There was a burst of shortness of breath, and the brief obsession was instantly replaced by endless haze. Immediately, Pan'er became uneasy:
"no no……"

"Don't be afraid, it's me... I won't hurt you, trust me..."

The bright night also kicked off——
Even if there are occasional complaints, Pan'er has to admit that the accident this time has obviously made the relationship between the two develop by leaps and bounds, and she actually has the "happiness" of being in love. Even if she knows it shouldn't, she doesn't Maybe, but I can't control myself from being addicted!

The bruises on her body faded little by little, because of Fu Yuting's relationship, Pan'er also walked out of the shadow of that incident before she knew it.

It was a blessing in disguise, her life seemed to be brightened suddenly, and she also had a little pet named 'Qiuqiu'.Whenever I think of it, Pan'er is overflowing with joy from the bottom of my heart.

Returning to the workplace, Pan'er's life can be regarded as returning to a normal life track.

On this day, just as Pan'er came back with the printed materials, the manager's assistant followed her in:
"Yungong (Engineer), Manager Huang asked me to inform you that the technical department of the merchants who will be received by the Scarlet Night Palace tonight will be attended by you..."

"OK, got it!"

After receiving the task list from her colleague, Pan'er only regarded it as a normal entertainment, signed her name casually, and when she handed back the copy of the task list, she found that her colleague turned away with a bitter face.

"Mengfei, Xiao Liu...you...what's the matter!"

Turning around, Pan'er was about to ask what's wrong with Xiao Liu, but when she turned around, she found that Meng Fei had the same mournful face.Stepping on her feet, she scanned the floor for a week, and wherever her eyes went, there was either a look of envy or a look of disappointment, and she curled her lips, Pan'er couldn't help being a little dumbfounded:

'What's wrong?Could it be... the group is bewitched! '

"Sister Yun, Scarlet Night Palace! Scarlet Night Palace——"

"What's wrong with Scarlet Night Palace?" Pan'er asked in a dazed manner without realizing what Mengfei had repeatedly mentioned.

"Sister Yun! You really know how to hit people! What kind of world is this! We were eagerly looking at the opportunity to go to the Scarlet Night Palace to open our eyes, but in the end we earned and snatched it, and no one caught it. Is it in the hands of you, the most uninterested person? You really want to plant flowers and not bloom them, but you have no intention of planting willows and willows to make shade! Sister Yun, do you know how much the Scarlet Night Palace... How much does an admission ticket cost!"

Speechless asking the sky, staring at Pan'er, Meng Fei sighed and stretched out a hand, slowly shaking it in front of him.

This "pie in the sky" tolerance opportunity, people, especially men, are all overwhelmed and want to go!
"Fifty or five hundred! Anyway, the company pays, and I don't have to pay for it..."

She has never been interested in entertainment venues, and Pan'er didn't even know there was such a place.But I usually entertain businessmen, whether it is a hotel restaurant or a KTV private room, I know a thing or two from the name, and she has followed it not once or twice, and each time, the places I go to are different, but the same.Anyway, she doesn't care about socializing, when she should talk, someone will naturally mention her!She is too lazy to bother!
"It's five thousand! It's not a tip! The minimum tip is five hundred, and it's mandatory..."

puff-
Mengfei rolled his eyes weakly, and before he finished speaking, Pan'er just drank the coffee in his mouth, but almost spit out half of it in fright.

"what!"

Shouting out in disbelief, Pan'er almost jumped up from her seat.

No way!Her half-month salary is actually only enough for the admission fee!Is this place... made of gold or silver!

"Sister Yun! Keep your voice down! Pay attention to your image! Judging by your reaction, you can see that letting you go is a waste! Now you know why everyone has a drooping face! The salary is only enough to go in and walk around, so unless you win the lottery in this life, you can only dream! This opportunity for free travel is a great benefit! Sister Yun, you must take good care of it and give it to you when you come back. Let’s talk about it, let us have a good time! Also, don’t come out too early! After you come out, you have to pay the entrance fee again. Also, don’t dress too poorly, Too corny..."

Mengfei babbled and instructed, but Pan'er's head was about to explode!
All that could be seen in her mind was the scene of the banknotes rushing into other people's pockets, the pain was so painful that she almost vomited blood on the spot, so, for Mengfei, she simply... went in the left ear and out the right ear.

As night falls, everything is silent, the bright moonlight radiates dreamy light, and the luxurious city life slowly kicks off in the anticipation of everyone.

Following the company's instructions, Pan'er took off her professional business suit and changed into a black and white spliced ​​fashion slim skirt. She also deliberately wore exaggerated diamond-shaped sparkling diamond earrings, drawing a suit of appropriate shades. Small smoky eye.

Even though she knew that the place she was going to socialize this time was going to a well-known vocal music venue, she still tried her best not to look so vulgar and not to make people think wrong.

Until she got on the company bus to pick up customers, Pan'er still didn't understand why men like to go to such noisy places to discuss business!
Could it be that with so many beauties in their company, their brains...are more prone to water?

Fortunately, her task is to explain the technical contract in her hand to the merchant who wants to sign in detail when necessary, to ensure that the contract can be successfully won, and to add the customer's additional technical requirements to the supplementary agreement in the future. For her, it's not too difficult!
Stepping into the Scarlet Night Palace with great anticipation, Pan'er obviously had the illusion of entering a paradise on earth by mistake.

The spacious hall is full of brilliance, and all kinds of men and women shuttle through it. On the separate center stage, three women with various styles occupy one side, with their waists swaying, and the scenery is infinite.From time to time, groups of beauties drift past in twos and threes, with exquisite makeup and elegant shapes.

Here, there is no shouting or booing that shakes the sky, and everything is so beautiful that it seems like a dream.It was completely different from what she had imagined!
Entering the private room at [-]:[-], what Pan'er saw, apart from the truth about burning money like running water, was nothing that made her feel indecent.

The melodious music flowed slowly, but it didn't affect the arrangement of the group of them.

It's just that Pan'er feels uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart every time he sees the merchant's eyes wandering on him before he can talk a few words, and his butt spreading towards him like a long-conscious mind.

Suffer once, learn once, this time, Pan'er was very careful, after she dipped in all the wine, she carefully spit it out onto the silk handkerchief wrapped in absorbent paper in her hand, not to mention to put it in her mouth. Refresh your mind with two mints.

"I'm sorry, Boss Shao, I want to go to the bathroom first--"

If she doesn't go out to get some air, she's really afraid that she'll forget the purpose of coming here!Although it was not the first time she saw a man's ugly appearance, every time, she couldn't learn to play tricks on the spot.

She became more and more suspicious of whether she was 'dressing' wrong again, or why the old fox who was over half a century old and experienced many vicissitudes was showing his colors?But her clothes... are really normal, neither revealing nor revealing!

Standing in the narrow corridor shining with warm light, Pan'er still felt a little stuffy and out of breath.

The environment here is dreamy and false, but the air is like stagnant water that will not flow, faintly, and it seems to exude a disgusting smell of corruption.

Smelling the smell of alcohol all over her body, thinking about the dog skin plaster inside, Pan'er only felt that it was really not easy to be alive!Thinking of the colorful banknotes on which she lived every month, she sighed softly, and Pan'er raised her legs and walked to the bathroom at the other end.

"Drink, I want to drink-"

Just two steps away, there was a sudden burst of loud music, and then, from the door not far away, a scruffy man with wrinkled clothes and talking nonsense staggered out, like a boa constrictor who had drunk stimulants, dancing around Shaking, a man and a woman ran out behind him, trying to pull and support...

I saw a man with a crooked tie, flushed face, and striking red lips on his neck;
It's the first time for a woman who is still smiling prettily in front of a man. I don't feel uncomfortable yet. Pan'er, this woman who appreciates beauty for free, her whole face is flushed, her eyes are wandering, and she doesn't know what to look at. Where is the right place...

"Hehe, boss, please slow down—"

"Come on, kiss one, kiss another—"

"Hate……"

"..."

"Hate...you are good or bad..."

"..."

The delicate female voice and the gawking male voice rang out alternately, her body trembled violently, and Pan'er's goosebumps shook off her body at the same time.

Looking back inadvertently, I was surprised to see the drunken man like a rampant crab, grabbing the scene and rushing towards him. Instinctively turned sideways, a few strides passed quickly, and when Pan'er dodged, the sharp and thin The high-heeled shoes happened to guess the puddle of water stains on the smooth marble, slipped under her feet, screamed, and instinctively stretched out her hand, Pan'er grabbed the handrail of the door at hand.

With a 'creak' sound, the door of the room opened, and Pan'er almost fell in. She finally stabilized her body, and when Pan'er raised her head, her apologetic words were suddenly shocked by the shocking scene in front of her:

"Ah—I'm sorry..."

When the eyes met, Pan'er was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe it.

I saw that Fu Yuting was reclining lazily on the gray-brown high-end sofa in the special luxury suite. At this time, the tailor-made black shirt was wide open, and the patina chest muscles without a trace of fat showed the sexiest posture, strong and powerful. His legs are naturally slightly open, and a woman with fluttering hair, cool clothes, and a very beautiful back is sitting on him with a cross, and she is slightly sideways. It is the ultimate beauty of "horizontal view as a mountain and side view as a peak". As you can imagine, this woman Just how beautiful it is, the man's hand is covered under the woman's skirt, and the posture of the two is even more ambiguous to the extreme.

And beside him, there was another enchanting woman with reddish-brown short hair lying on her back.

The indescribable picture and the unparalleled impact made Pan'er dizzy and unable to think for a while, and she was stunned for 3 minutes!

No matter what, I can't believe that the man who has been tender to me recently and hugged me a few days ago is actually spending time here at this very moment!
Gently closing her eyes, she closed the door swiftly, Pan bumped her body as if fleeing, turned around and rushed to the bathroom.

Compared to Pan'er's surprise, Fu Yuting's shock was definitely no less than hers.

With the sound of a 'bang' slamming the door, he also came back to his senses!

What a lingering ghost woman, why is she here!Should she come to this kind of place?
Thinking about it, Fu Yuting picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down angrily.

These days, he was obsessed with her like a demon, and wanted to run home after work, even after work, he couldn't control the aftertaste.

Ever since he touched her, he always felt that he had become corrupted!I can't wait to watch her 24 hours a day!
Obviously shouldn't care!But I can't say why, the moment he saw her just now, he felt guilty!

"gentlemen--!"

Seeing Fu Yuting drinking a lot of wine without saying a word, he was so dazed that he lost his mind.The two sisters exchanged glances, then got up, surrounded him from left to right, and put their hands on his shoulders with a clever smile.

"go out!"

Looking down indifferently, Fu Yuting made a manic sound.

Intimidated by his bleak yet majestic aura, the woman just stretched out her pale white hand halfway to touch the man's face, but stiffly withdrew it.

Knowing the rules here, the two of them are also sensible, and they dare not make their own decisions.

The two packed up their things, turned and left silently.

After drinking several cups in succession, the depression in Fu Yuting's heart continued unabated, and he did not suppress it at all.

Standing up, fastening the buttons, pulling off the suit on the armrest of the sofa, Fu Yuting turned and walked out.

Sitting blankly on the toilet, Pan'er's heart seemed to be stuffed with a ball of stool, and she couldn't spit it out, let alone swallow it. She felt so sad that she wanted to die!She clearly knew that their relationship was just a transaction, she clearly knew that she had no right to be angry, she clearly knew that she shouldn't mind, she shouldn't have feelings, but when she thought of him doing the same thing to other women, she felt disgusted!
I hated trading like this, and hated myself like this!Now, Pan'er only feels that she is the same as those women who sold their bodies on him, as dirty, and as despised by herself!At least she is more open and aboveboard than her!At this moment, Pan'er really felt that he was like what he said, 'Being a cousin, but still want to set up a memorial archway'!
It's a terrible feeling to step on your dignity on the soles of your feet!She doesn't want to live in such a humble way anymore, and doesn't want to live in such a wronged and oppressive way!She is fed up with this kind of life without emotions and walking dead!Enough is enough!

She hates dirty men!I hate the man who treats her like a plaything!I even hate a man who treats her like a private property and can ignore it at any time!

Why does she have to listen to him in everything, not even working overtime or having a meal with friends!Why did she allow him to come and go in such a wronged way?Why should she live like a kitten without dignity, crawling pitifully under his body, begging for his mercy?Just because of the emergency 50 yuan, is she going to be bullied like this!
The clean nails were firmly inserted into the tender palms, and the big teardrops fell straight down, but Pan'er couldn't deny this reality.

'Yun Pan'er, what are you worrying about?This man is just your patron! 50, bought your body, did you even buy your heart?Out of sight, out of sight, why don't you learn to forget!You are not allowed to think too much, that man has nothing to do with you, even if a hundred or eighty illegitimate children pop up tomorrow, they have nothing to do with you at all!No!If you want to live with dignity, just draw a line with him, go make money, and pay back everything you owe him!What's the use of blaming everyone else? It's all your own choice!If you want to be relieved, just collect money and solve it... What's the use of crying!don't cry...'

Constantly chanting and urging herself, Pan'er got up and walked out, but there were still traces of pain on her face.

Walking out of the bathroom with her head drooping, Pan'er raised her head and saw her boss rubbing her hands and pacing back and forth at the door, anxious like ants on a hot pot, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.

"manager?"

"You came out! I thought you fell in! What's wrong? You look so ugly? I came out because I have something to say. Tonight's guests are very important! For a while, you have to be smart and don't mess with Case." Damn it! You know, the few of us here tonight can’t cover the [-] yuan spent here. If the money goes to waste, the boss won’t kill us! Pan’er, don’t worry, I don’t want you to lose your company He, but, you also know that it’s inevitable to play tricks, drink, sing, dance and so on! This matter is done, and your bonus is indispensable! This contract is worth this amount, It's done, after all the expenses and net profit, we can get [-]% of the commission, how much... you can figure it out yourself?!"

Holding Pan'er's little hand, the manager wrote the words '1100 million' on her palm.Grasping her soft little hand, the man suddenly became a little distracted, clutching it with one hand, and caressing her with the other seemingly, he didn't even want to let go.

"I see! Can you...can you let me go?"

His brows raised slightly in displeasure, and while replying perfunctorily, Pan'er tried to withdraw his hand.

But I kept cursing in my heart, every good thing a man has, there are people at home, and he comes here to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows, and he wants to take advantage of her tofu!Let's make his spring and autumn dream!
She cursed him to go down to eighteen floors of hell, and he would never be able to turn over again!
"I said... Pan'er, don't be so stubborn! Entertainment, communication, do you understand! If you don't serve people's hearts smoothly, why should they talk to you about business! This money is not so easy to earn! How can there be a free lunch in the world? Whatever you do...you have to pay a price! But then again...when you can make money...don't make it, don't make it for nothing, right? Besides, there's nothing...real loss, isn't it? In fact, you are talented and beautiful... Your face is more useful than the ladies here, not to mention, you are still dressed like this today..."

So sexy, so dreamy!The colored eyeballs rolled and swallowed, the man's eyes almost fell into her chest.

He didn't let go, and with the help of alcohol, the manager seemed to be serious and well-intentioned, but he was full of hints. While talking, he grabbed his little hand and touched the ground, and climbed up along the smooth arm. signs.

"Manager, please respect yourself!"

Pushing away the man beside her with all her strength, Pan'er took two big steps back, her face turning green with anger.Damn!She didn't burn that stick of incense, which god she offended!Do you really think she is a soft persimmon, someone who can step on her?Is there any reason!
Just when she was about to get angry, when she raised her head, her terrified beautiful pupils suddenly fell into a pair of deep black eyes that were turbulent and extremely sinister...

Just about to reprimand 'Pan'er doesn't know what to do', she felt a little strange, followed her gaze and looked back. When Manager Huang caught a glimpse of the third person behind him, his face turned pale with obvious embarrassment. Immediately picked up the shelf, pretended to say:
"Ahem...don't act like you're crying for your father and mother, you've scared away all your business partners! Why don't you hurry in and touch up your makeup? The guests are still waiting for you!"

After giving the order solemnly, shaking the suit on his body, the man turned around with his head raised and his chest upright, and strode away.

Not missing the exciting scene in front of him, Fu Yuting looked at Pan'er with obvious dissatisfaction... fierce!
She didn't expect to meet him again so soon, Pan'er was not very happy to see him, so she pouted unconsciously.I kept muttering in my heart:
'What are you staring at!The eyeballs popped out, her red apricot...hasn't come out of the wall yet! '

Stretching out his hand to stroke his hair, tidy up his appearance, ignoring the man staring at him, Pan'er raised his legs and walked forward.

At this time, she didn't want to get involved in anything related to him!She hates... that dirty smell on him!

Passing by, Pan'er wanted to dodge, but she didn't want to, but the drooping white and tender little hand was precisely captured by someone.Forced to stop, a magnetic and indifferent voice sounded in my ears at the same time:

"Why are you here!"

"Aren't you here too? Why are you, I will do it!"

Fu Yuting had the posture of a high-ranking uncle, and even his voice was always admonishing, and he didn't get angry at all. Even if he told himself not to make troubles, his voice was still lukewarm, neither good nor angry!

He can come to fool around, but can't she come to work?
Seeing Pan'er's dazzling attire, not leaking but also eye-catching, the wavy long hair is let down, a little less alienated, a little more feminine, no extra makeup, but a pair of straight and slender The flawless jade legs are comparable to professional leg models, making people unforgettable.

Knowing that she was feeling a little unhappy, Fu Yuting turned around and embraced her from behind, and pressed her hair against her ear, half-explaining and whispering:
"This is my place! I'm not here, where do I want to be! Don't tell me...you are also interested in the lady here!"

"Ghosts are interested in the women here! This place is really suitable for you! If that's the case, don't disturb Master Fu's work! Let me go--"

Curling her lips mockingly and lowering her eyes, Pan'er raised the iron arm at her waist angrily.

Shameless stinky man, he is ashamed to say such words!

Interested in the lady here!Why didn't he just use the loudspeaker to announce to the whole world that as long as it was a female, he would not refuse anyone!nausea!Bad taste!If you come to prostitute, you can prostitute. Why do you still say it so grandiosely?His territory?Thanks to him having the nerve to say it!Who doesn't know that the rich is the uncle, where is not his territory?
If this place really belonged to him, wouldn't those women have suffered eight lifetimes of misfortune?Before he had to be pushed all over by his boss!
Fu Yuting's words were intended to question Pan'er's heavy makeup, alluding to her attire, like a lady looking for customers in a nightclub, wanting to 'come here to be a lady'.

He didn't expect that his long sentence had been distorted in Pan'er's ears, leaving only the most indisputable point - he was interested in the women here!

But this has been confirmed, which makes her most concerned and aggrieved!

"you are not happy?"

Feeling the strength of Pan'er's struggle to vent, he quickly turned to her, but Fu Yuting still hugged her tightly, and his tone of inquiry was somewhat positive.

Pigs wake up earlier than you!It's a woman, so it's no wonder she's happy!
Not wanting to argue with him on meaningless issues, Pan'er slightly turned her head, refusing to look at him, her curled arms pressed against his chest, and her small movements interpreted the obvious rejection:

"Please let go! I'm going back to work!"

"I still want to be eaten tofu! Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of letting my woman be taken advantage of by other men! Tonight, I'm not allowed to go anywhere!"

Pulling Pan'er's jaw in displeasure, feeling the incomparably delicate smoothness, Fu Yuting was very uncomfortable with her evasive posture from beginning to end.

Raising her eyes and giving him a rewarding look, Pan'er gritted her teeth angrily and didn't speak, but when he couldn't help lowering her head and wanted to kiss her, she quickly turned her head to the other side.

own woman!What an ironic word!When hugging other women romantically, will he think of her existence?Does he really regard her as his property, who can do whatever he wants anytime, anywhere?

The soft kiss landed on the side of the pure pink cheeks, and the faint feminine fragrance was refreshing. Looking at the beautiful curling and flickering eyelashes, and the plump red lips that were as pink as water, Fu Yuting made a comeback again in disbelief.

Pressing her body motionless against the smooth wooden wall on the side, the thoughts in his mind have faded away, but Fu Yuting insisted on devouring those slightly upturned and attractive pink lips again and again, but he didn't want to, but he still went there time and time again, disappointed. .

Seeing that Pan'er is as obedient as a cat, but more cunning than a fox, she always avoids his touch sensitively and skillfully, suddenly tightens the palm around her waist, her big clean hand holds her small face, and looks at her. Looking at those big bright eyes that are watery but full of rebellion, she picked up all the bloodthirsty evil factors in Fu Yuting's bones.

I know more and more how to make him angry, huh?
He didn't say a word, but he picked up the hair all over his body!She is really emboldened!
Staring at the little face with a bit of stubbornness, a bit of coquettishness, a bit of unyielding arrogance, and vitality, Fu Yuting also challenged her, his generous palm pierced through the messy hair and clasped the back of her head. , bent down and went towards his intended target, captured the perfectly shaped rhomboid lips, and ravaged them wantonly.

When she remembered that he had kissed another woman just now, Pan'er's thoughts of resistance were overwhelmed, and her thin lotus arms resisted with all her strength, not allowing him to pass through the defense.

She hates him touching her with the taste of other women?Jean really made her feel ashamed as hell!
"Open your mouth!"

Not reconciled to being on the edge all the time, Fu Yuting was obviously a little impetuous, he would definitely get what he wanted, even if he had to use any means!
As soon as he finished speaking, in response, Pan'er Ruhua's lips were tightly pressed into a line.

Dangerous eyes narrowed suddenly, Fu Yuting leaned over suddenly, with a force, he took advantage of the gap and broke into the city, taking everything from her...

"Um--"

Crazy punishments came like a torrential rain, and the force was so great that the corners of Pan'er's mouth seemed to twitch. She instinctively clenched her fists and pushed, but Pan'er didn't even have the chance to ask for mercy.

According to the boss's instructions, he ordered the waiter to pay attention to all the private rooms. As soon as the manager got the confirmation result, he hurriedly searched for the boss' figure. He just turned a corner and caught a glimpse of the leopard, only to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure, panting heavily, breathless Slowing down, I couldn't wait to welcome them all:

"Mr. Fu, all the rooms on this floor have been...searched, the lady you are looking for--"

After realizing what he was interrupting, the manager was so startled that he forgot to close his mouth, and was so annoyed that he almost hit the wall on the spot!

Although this kind of scene is commonplace here, but it is a good thing to disturb the boss by bumping into the muzzle of a gun. Doesn't he think his life is too long and wants to die!
Standing there in a daze, motionless, the manager was neither advancing nor retreating, and his face was stretched a bit longer than that of a horse in an instant.

The sudden disturbance interrupted Fu Yuting's indulgence, but it also just rightly saved Pan'er who was in dire straits.

The precious woman who was kissed into a puddle of water in Qingqing's arms, but Fu Yuting did not change his face, and was not willing to touch the trembling cherry lips that were bloodstained by him, and then slowly withdrew his hand.While circling her possessively, he turned around gracefully, without the slightest embarrassment on her face, still dignified and aloof:
"I see! It's none of your business! Go get busy--"

Just told him to check because he wasn't sure which room she was in, but now... it's no longer needed!

He raised his eyes and glanced at the dignified and upright manager who was nodding and bowing respectfully a foot away, but Pan'er's pair of colored contact lenses were wide open in astonishment, and he was wriggling back and forth slowly, with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing Fu Yuting let go of his hands and looking down at him with his hands crossed in a relaxed manner, Pan'er looked at him carefully for a long time before he uttered in doubt:

"You...really...the boss!"

Crimson Night Palace?Looking at the complicated environment here, she knew that ordinary people couldn't cover her back!Usually, those who run a nightclub must not only have money, but also have a considerable background. At least, they must be able to eat both black and white, be able to withstand the pressure, and be able to handle things!It is said that this kind of place just looks mysterious, and there are not many people who can make a profit, but Fei Se is not only prosperous, she is simply stealing money!But it robbed so well that many people lined up to squeeze in!It is conceivable that it has a great background!
She has heard about Fu's group's wealth and power, and wealth beyond rivals!But with such a famous consortium, she always thought that he was running a legitimate company, a nightclub?She really can't associate with him!
"Do I need to lie to you? In this city, not to mention the ones that are not worth mentioning, Fu's owns two of the three famous nightclubs alone. It can be said bluntly... more than half of the city's Fu's nightlife is in the hands of..."

The corner of his mouth twitched lightly. Fu Yuting just proudly showed off his great achievements. Before he finished speaking, he was surprised to see Pan'er stretching out his hand to him like a little girl wanting candy. After a pause, Fu Yuting couldn't help squinting in doubt. squinted:
"What is this... for!"
