Power and Wealth

Chapter 1659

Houhai.

It was not yet eight o'clock.

The crescent moon had risen, and it was already night.

Although Dong Xuebing's invitation to Luo Haiting on the phone sounded casual, he wasn't hungry. Mainly, he was feeling "cravings." So he lazily rummaged through the kitchen fridge. Seeing that there were enough ingredients, all of which he had bought that morning, and a few plates of leftover dishes from lunch, Dong Xuebing wasn't in a hurry to cook. He strolled out to sit under the fragrant osmanthus tree in the courtyard, tapping his fingers on the stone table and making a clattering noise. His mind was in chaos. How did he end up inviting Luo Haiting?

What to do?

This was just reckless.

Could he even let her stay overnight?

The intense battle with Fang Wenping in the afternoon left Dong Xuebing in a terrible mood, feeling stifled. Hence, his mind was filled with finding a female companion for comfort. But when he called, nobody was available. In a moment of frustration, he called Luo Haiting. Yet, now that he thought about it, he couldn't just invite her over. Over the past few years, including when they were in the same unit, there had indeed been some ambiguity between him and Comrade Old Luo. Luo Haiting had "accidentally" pressed her chest against his shoulder or back more than once, and Dong Xuebing enjoyed having meals and chatting with her. But that was as far as it went. Nobody had ever made any overt moves. After all, Luo Haiting had a husband, and her child was not young anymore. Dong Xuebing had never thought of doing anything with her beyond flirtation. This was still within the limits. However, today was different. Dong Xuebing was certain that when he called Luo Haiting, he hadn't intended for her to come over tonight.

Dong Xuebing, oh Dong Xuebing,

You're just a horny dog.

Do you think your relationships with women aren't chaotic enough?

Dong Xuebing scolded himself, then slapped his forehead fiercely and calmed down momentarily. He took a deep breath and decided not to dwell on Comrade Old Luo anymore. After all, he had only invited her for dinner, and they had previously talked about meeting again when they bumped into each other at the Discipline Inspection Commission. So, it wasn't too abrupt. It was also not yet eight o'clock, so it shouldn't send Luo Haiting the wrong signal. The two of them had had meals alone before. It was just a bit of an emotional exchange between colleagues. After dinner, he would just send her back.

Changed his mind.

Dong Xuebing stopped self-reflecting and agonizing over it. But his mood was dragged back to the afternoon when he thought he couldn't do anything to Luo Haiting. It wasn't good at all. He didn't have an outlet for his frustration. The suffocation left by Fang Wenping couldn't be easily dispelled.

"This woman, Fang, is so irritating."

"If I see you on Monday, don't blame me."

"Thinking you can suppress me just because you're older and have a higher rank, you don't know who I, Dong Xuebing, am."

Just say Dong Xuebing was driven to what state he was in by anger.

It was just something that happened at noon, and Dong Xuebing was still cursing in the evening.

A few minutes later.

Amid Dong Xuebing's muttering curses, there was a light knock on the courtyard door from outside, followed by two more. Luo Haiting had finally arrived.

Dong Xuebing got up and went to open the door.

"Xuebing, sorry for being late," Luo Haiting said curiously, looking around the courtyard.

Seeing the beautiful Old Luo, Dong Xuebing's mood improved slightly. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I also called you late. I originally wanted to make plans with you in advance, but my relatives came over at noon. I napped in the afternoon and only woke up after seven."

Luo Haiting chuckled, "I spent half the day trying to hail a cab. Plus, there was some traffic on the way. The traffic in Beijing is awful, even at eight o'clock."

"Exactly, that's why sometimes I just walk to work. It might be faster than driving," Dong Xuebing stepped aside, "Come on in."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble," Luo Haiting said politely.

Dong Xuebing closed the door behind her as she entered the courtyard and followed her inside. From behind, he glanced at Luo Haiting's figure, his gaze immediately drawn to her ample buttocks. He couldn't look away for a while. Women her age with children tend to have fuller figures, especially in the buttocks, similar to slender women like Huilan, who gained weight after having children. It's a normal physiological phenomenon. Dong Xuebing quite liked this type of full figure, and seeing that Luo Haiting didn't turn around, he shamelessly took several glances. Her buttocks were very round, with a pleasing curvature, particularly plump and soft. This was the type of buttock shape that Dong Xuebing liked the most. It was rare for someone her age to maintain such a figure.

As for her clothes, today Luo Haiting was not wearing the same one-piece dress Dong Xuebing had seen at his workplace, but the style and colors were quite similar. Today's outfit was a particularly fancy long dress that reached her ankles, with red and purple colors, adorned with green accents. It was quite loose, and you could only see the black high heels and a fleeting glimpse of black stockings when she took steps forward, visible from beneath the hem of the dress. Her top was a sky-blue knitted sweater, which was very bright and shallow in color, even at night. Looking up, she had a mature bun adorned with a black lace hairpin, exuding elegance.

Having worked with Luo Haiting for so many years, Dong Xuebing knew her quite well. It wasn't common for someone her age to dress so flamboyantly, but Luo Haiting seemed to enjoy it, always dressing lively. She appeared to enjoy wearing sexy clothes particularly.

Inside.

The two entered the courtyard.

Looking at the layout, Luo Haiting was slightly stunned, "Xuebing, did you just move here?"

"Yeah, I just moved not long ago. Now it's just me living here alone," Dong Xuebing said, pointing to a chair. "Take a seat."

"Ah, just you?" Luo Haiting was astonished, "You mean this entire courtyard is yours, with no other residents?"

Sitting down, Dong Xuebing picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea for her, "Yeah, it's a single-family home. But it's too big. I'm all alone, and it feels empty. That's why I thought of inviting you over for dinner."

Luo Haiting was amazed, "Such a nice courtyard. How much did it cost?" However, seeming to be accustomed to Dong Xuebing's unexpectedness, Luo Haiting quickly calmed down after glancing at the courtyard. She took the teacup Dong Xuebing handed her and began chatting with him while sipping her tea.

Still feeling frustrated, Dong Xuebing didn't have much enthusiasm for conversation.

After Luo Haiting said a few words, she could tell something was off and glanced at him, "What's wrong, Xuebing? You seemed to be in a good mood. Is something bothering you?"

Dong Xuebing waved his hand, "I got pissed off by some old hag at noon."

Both Dong Xuebing and Luo Haiting knew each other very well, and there was nothing they couldn't talk about.

"What happened?" Luo Haiting asked, straightening her hair.

Dong Xuebing didn't want to dwell on it, "It's just an old bastard. Let's not talk about her. Just thinking about it makes me angry."

Luo Haiting took a glance but didn't bring it up again, "You said you were hungry, right? It's almost eight o'clock. Let me cook for you."

"Don't worry about it," Dong Xuebing pretended to be courteous, "You've come from afar. How can I let you cook in my house?"

Luo Haiting chuckled, "I'm not a stranger, don't worry about it. Just tell me where the kitchen is, and I'll go."

Dong Xuebing hadn't planned on cooking at all; he just said it. Frustrated, he indicated to the south room, "Over there, the ingredients are in the fridge."

"Okay, I'll go," Luo Haiting said as she lifted her skirt and stood up.

After stewing in his anger for a while, Dong Xuebing thought it over. Since Luo Haiting had come all the way here, it wouldn't be right to let her do everything alone. So, he also went to the kitchen. As he walked in, he saw Luo Haiting, with the kitchen lights on, bending over to throw something in the trash bin. Since the bin had a lid and the foot-operated switch was broken, Luo Haiting had to bend very low to open it and throw things inside. With her back facing Dong Xuebing, her plump buttocks were right in his line of sight, close and inviting. The entire curve of her thick buttocks was wrapped in the long skirt, giving off a sense of plump beauty that was very enticing.

Dong Xuebing is almost drooled, and his throat is feeling very dry. He had a strong impulse to go over and grab her beautiful buttocks, but he managed to suppress it in the end.

"Too tempting. I really shouldn't have called Sister Luo over. What if I can't resist?" he thought to himself.

Suddenly, Luo Haiting turned around and said, "Xuebing."

"I'll help you," Dong Xuebing went up and started washing the vegetables.

"No need, I can handle it alone," Luo Haiting smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling it back, "You should rest. You've been busy all day. You must be tired."

Her hand was warm.

However, Luo Haiting's hands didn't look as young as her face. After all, she was married with children and inevitably had to do household chores. They weren't as comfortable to the touch as Huilan's, who had never done any chores since childhood but still had a unique charm.

"I'll just wash the vegetables."

"Let me help you. It'll be faster with both of us."

"You're too polite, Xuebing, but okay."

After a few rounds of arguing, Luo Haiting finally released his hand and continued chopping vegetables. Her skill was evident from the speed at which she chopped. She looked like a housewife who had been cooking for years, much faster and better than Dong Xuebing. However, due to the stable frequency of chopping, perhaps causing resonance, Luo Haiting's chest also moved slightly with each chop. Eventually, her breasts almost seemed to sway rhythmically with each chop, causing waves of flesh to ripple under the sky-blue sweater.

So big.

Dong Xuebing was dazzled by the sight.
