Power and Wealth

Chapter 1488: Three people in a room

Xu Yan’s apartment.

Inside the bathroom.

The closed showerhead was dripping with water droplets, making a ticking sound. The atmosphere inside was somewhat ambiguous, a bit awkward, at least that's what Dong Xuebing thought.

After stuffing the towel inside, there was a rustling sound behind the curtain. Dong Xuebing took advantage of the moment when the two women were busy wiping themselves and quickly glanced at his watch. He had been in for five minutes already but couldn't solve his physiological problem. Seeing the curtain shake, he knew Sister Zhang and Sister Xu were about to leave. Dong Xuebing felt the urgency of time, and his face couldn't hold on any longer. It would be embarrassing if he continued standing here when they came out. Although it was already embarrassing enough, if he went out to the living room first and then came back to the bathroom after Sister Xu and Sister Zhang finished, Dong Xuebing didn't know if he could hold it. It was too urgent. So, Dong Xuebing had a quick idea. He took off his pants, sat on the toilet, and pretended to be defecating. This way, he could barely explain why he hadn't left the bathroom for so long. Of course, he also pulled his clothes down, covering his thighs tightly.

"Xuebing," Xu Yan called him.

Dong Xuebing hurriedly said, "Ah, Sister Xu, what's up?"

"I have settled things with Old Zhang," Xu Yan said slowly. "How about you?"

"I still need some time," Dong Xuebing chuckled.

"Need some time?" This time, it was Zhang Longjuan's voice. "Ha, is your kidney not good? Be careful when you're with Old Xu at night."

"Don't be disrespectful," Xu Yan scolded her.

Zhang Longjuan laughed, "Old Xu, you know this kid has kidney problems, yet you moved your work relationship to Xiao Bing's place just to have him occasionally. You, a woman in her forties, are like a wolf and tiger, how can Xiao Bing stand it?"

"Why does it sound so sour?"

"Yeah, it's just my jealousy."

"You talk too much. There's nothing between me and Xuebing."

"Ha. Then swear, swear once, and I'll believe you."

"Don't be so annoying."

"Look, you dare not swear."

"I can't be bothered with you. Okay, finish up quickly and get out."

Dong Xuebing was again dragged into their conversation, wearing a wry smile.

The next moment, the curtain rattled as it was pulled open by a hand. The plastic curtain, dripping with water droplets, suddenly opened to the side, revealing the two bodies inside. Xu Yan and Zhang Longjuan had wrapped themselves in bath towels, covering their chests and half of their thighs. The rest of their backs, collarbones, knees, and calves were mostly exposed. It was a tempting sight, one more alluring than the other.

Dong Xuebing swallowed and spit, "Have you two finished showering?"

Xu Yan looked at him, "Oh, you were sitting on the toilet. No wonder it took so long."

Zhang Longjuan also glanced at Dong Xuebing, even deliberately looking at his buttocks, then lazily stretched, "Let's go, let's eat. Ha."

Xu Yan looked at her, "Aren't you wearing clothes?"

Zhang Longjuan waved her hand behind her, "Not wearing."

Xu Yan shook her head helplessly, walked to the washing machine, lifted the plastic sheet pressing, and took out a very conservative flesh-colored underwear. Holding it, she said to Dong Xuebing, "You can continue. No hurry. I will stir-fry the dishes. You don't need to worry."

Dong Xuebing nodded. Glancing at her hand, he said, "Okay."

Xu Yan didn't take any other clothes, just holding the underwear. She walked out slowly. From the back, you could see the towel tightly stretched by her buttocks, as if it could burst open at any time. Gradually, she walked away. Thud! Sister Xu closed the door from the outside.

All in bath towels.

No one is wearing outer clothes.

Hey, today is truly a feast for the eyes.

Once the others left, Dong Xuebing felt no pressure at all. He quickly took care of his matters, washed his hands at the tap using soap, and glanced at the clothes and stockings piled on the washing machine behind Sister Zhang and Sister Xu. Then, he stepped out of the bathroom.

In the living room, the aroma of the food filled the air. Xu Yan had finished cooking. "Xuebing, it's time to eat. Have you washed your hands?"

Dong Xuebing nodded, "Yes, I did." After saying that, he sat at the dining table.

"Why haven't you wiped your hands?" Xu Yan tilted her head, threw a clean towel to him, and said, "Careless. Wipe your hands before eating."

Dong Xuebing took the towel, "Ah." and started wiping his hands.

Zhang Longjuan smiled as she looked at Xu Yan, "Don't you feel…"

Xu Yan glanced at her, "Feel what?"

Zhang Longjuan laughed, "You now look like an old mother."

Xu Yan laughed, "Then, don't eat the food cooked by this old mother."

"Haha, that won't do. I must taste our old mother's cooking skills to see if she has improved." Zhang Longjuan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then said, "Wow, not bad, back in the school days, I used to come to your house for meals. I still remember the taste. Your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Xu Yan said, "Eating can't stop your mouth, huh?"

Zhang Longjuan said, "By the way, do you remember that fat guy from our class, the one with whom we had a good relationship? At that time, whenever he had the chance, he would come to your house to eat, claiming that he liked the dishes you, Old Xu, made. He kept praising how delicious they were. In reality, he was interested in you. He was trying to show his affection, but I couldn't stand it on the side. I still have a vivid memory of it."

Xu Yan laughed, "I remember he secretly had a crush on you."

"No, haha, I didn't have your charm back then."

"Hehe, you're still being modest. In our class, there were at least five guys who pursued you. There were many more in other classes."

"But not as many as you. Don't you remember that time on Valentine's Day? Many younger students from other schools came to our class to invite you to dinner. The whole school was in an uproar."

"You were the same. You received flowers from students in other schools."

"Haha, that's why the teachers called us to the school office the next day and criticized us. We were even named and criticized. We provoked someone."

While Dong Xuebing was eating, he listened to their conversation about their youth. The two mature women were chatting happily, wrapped in bath towels, and their slender figures and plump figures were particularly pleasing to the eyes. Dong Xuebing occasionally wanted to join, but Sister Xu and Sister Zhang were not in his age group. Dong Xuebing hadn't even been born yet when they were in school, so he couldn't join in the conversation and could only listen.

"But now, we're all old," Xu Yan sighed.

Zhang Longjuan shrugged, "Indeed, in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. I wonder how our classmates from back then are doing now."

Xu Yan smiled, "I know about Tao Zi. She married a manager in a state-owned enterprise. I even attended her wedding. Now, her child should be around the same age as my son."

"And what about Li Zhi?"

"Li Zhi got married late, around her thirties. She found someone younger than herself. But I haven't seen her. It's just what I heard. It seems she's living happily."

Zhang Longjuan laughed, "Look at us. We were both beautiful and popular then, but our love lives are now the worst. I've been single all along, and you got divorced. So, this is life. No one knows what the future holds."

Xu Yan looked at her, "You now have more wealth than all the families of our classmates put together. Why are you sighing?"

Zhang Longjuan retorted, "Then why are you sighing? You're a Deputy Bureau-level leader now, something others may never achieve in their lifetime." Pausing momentarily, she smiled, "Old Xu, you're blessed but don't realize it. Although you're divorced, you have a son and have reached such a high position. You'll move up in the future. Your life is already quite complete. Oh, and there's also Xiao Bing, such a considerate lover to enrich your life. Don't be ungrateful."

Dong Xuebing was speechless, "Why are you bringing me into this, Sister Zhang?"

Xu Yan glanced at her, "Your words are full of hidden meanings. Are you interested in Xuebing?"

Zhang Longjuan's sexy lips curved into a slight smile, "Yes, I am interested. Where can I find such a good young man? I envy you, Old Xu."

Xu Yan said, "Stop it. Tell me the truth. Do you have feelings for him?"

Dong Xuebing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Although he had interacted with many women, he had never encountered such a situation.

Zhang Longjuan crossed her legs and smiled, "I'm telling the truth. But Xuebing is your favorite, right? Ha, I won't compete with you."

Dong Xuebing exclaimed, "What are you talking about, Zhang Jie?"

Xu Yan didn't continue the conversation, "Enough, let's eat."

After the meal, it was already past 10 o'clock. Dong Xuebing volunteered to clean up the plates and utensils, went to the kitchen to wash them, and heard Sister Xu and Sister Zhang talking in the living room.

"Old Xu, your house has two bedrooms, right?"

"Yeah, how should we sleep tonight?"

"I'll sleep in the small room, and you can sleep with Xuebing."

"Come on, you were interested in Xuebing. Ask him. This kind of thing has to be consensual. If he agrees, you two can sleep in the main room. I have no objections. Well, that kid Xuebing can hardly walk when seeing a woman. I guess he's eager to sleep with you."

Dong Xuebing listened and sweated. Oh no, all his shortcomings were being revealed.

"Hey, Old Xu, you're so generous. The more you say this, the more I dare not compete with you for him. You're not trying to play tricks on me, are you?"

"If you keep teasing me, I'll sleep with Xuebing tonight."

"Haha, you old thing finally admitted it."

"There's nothing to deny, hmm. If you disagree, let's not sleep with anyone else tonight. The three of us in one room."

"Hehe, I don't mind."

"Xuebing, you've been listening for a while. What do you think?"

Dong Xuebing sighed, "How can we all sleep together like that?" Seeing that neither Xu Yan nor Zhang Longjuan paid attention to him, he stopped pretending, "Ahem, well, fine then."
