We Are Destined to Meet

2. His Finger

Translator: Iris Guo

I walked over impassively, pulled her hair and forced her to leave Ling Mubai’s arms. Throwing her outside naked, I slammed the door.

“Mr. Ling, open the door… That bitch is bullying me… Please help me…” She cried out loud.

I took out my phone to call an acquaintance working in mental hospital. “Here’s a patient. Hurry up!”

Some ten minutes later, she was taken away.

A lot of women around Ling Mubai didn’t know their place. I had arranged such affairs for him thousands of times so that I got the hang of it.

When encountering issues concerning men, women would become fiercer.

Words without deeds led us nowhere, so I preferred taking actions.

Ling Mubai clapped his hands. The sound struck my heart hard.

He flipped the cigarette away and gazed at me with a half smile in his eyes. His cold and cruel expression showed as if the woman who had just been taken away meant nothing.

“You sent her away. You should make up for it.” He said in a deep and harsh voice.

Flustered, I cringed instinctively. But he caught me. I was then thrown onto the bed.

Suddenly, there was something entering my body roughly. I inhaled sharply. The pain almost killed me.

I had carefully maintained chastity for ten years, and dreamed that one day I could give it to him at the sacred moment.

But eventually, he maltreated me and took my virginity rudely. My illusion about my first time was shattered by him without mercy. How sarcastic it was! I lost my virginity to his finger.

I clenched his finger involuntarily, begging him and trying to make him treat me gently.

He looked down at me. There was a hint of scorn in his eyes.

I cringed and dodged, but he became ruder in response. He kept torturing and humiliating me.

Women always found it hard to fight back strong men. I didn’t have the strength to resist him. The only thing I could do was screaming. Tears streamed down my face, blinding me.

I didn’t know how long this torture took. My consciousness left me, and I couldn’t utter a word.

Ling Mubai pulled his finger back. Noticing the blood on it, he glanced at me and sneered, “Well, where did you repair your hymen?”

The next day, I opened my eyes. It was late in the morning.

A ray of sunlight fell on the blood stain on the bed sheet.

My mind went blank for a while, and then I burst out laughing.

Could anyone imagine that I lost my first time to a finger? How ridiculous it was!

I felt dizzy as if someone had hit me with a baseball bat from behind.

When I recalled what happened last night, my heart was torn apart. The scene in which Ling Mubai slept with Shen Huanyan, and the sarcastic and disgusted look on his face when he entered my body brought me deep pain.

I didn’t know why I was so sad. Was I sad because now I was his wife?

I had done everything, from a cleaner to a barmaid, to become the PR manager in Ling’s company.

I had encountered various occasions, and turned a deaf ear to those rumors.

It was because of my notoriety and indifference that Ling Mubai’s mother wanted me to be Ling Mubai’s shield and protect him.

When Ling Mubai found out that I was working against him with his mother, he hated me as if we had a blood feud.

Seriously?

‘Well, a finger is better than a beer bottle.’ I comforted myself with a wry smile.

When I was a barmaid, I saw many men pushing beer bottles into women’s lower body. At least, I was luckier than those women.

I had been waiting to marry my beloved one for ten years. A few obstacles wouldn’t hold me back. I couldn’t be negative.

Ling Mubai wouldn’t love a dispirited woman. I should pull myself together.

A woman shouldn’t degrade herself just because she was not loved.

I should appear in front of everyone with extreme coquetry. Thanks for giving me the honorary title of bitch.

Putting on makeup, I walked out of the residence of Ling family. When I was about to meet Ling Mubai, the phone in my handbag rang.

“Huansheng, help me…”

Mei’s cries for help startled me. I tucked my phone back into my bag, and ran as fast as I could towards my home.
