Power and Wealth

One day…

Two days…

Three days…

Dong Xuebing had been living at Hua Mei estate for four days.

It is a beautiful morning, and birds are chipping on the willow tree outside the windows.

"Xuebing, are you feeling better?"

"Thanks for taking care of me. I can move my arms now."

"Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital for checks?"

"No need. The doctor told me to rest more, and my injuries will recover in a few days. You should be exhausted from taking care of me. It's time for you to take a rest."

In the living room, Yu Qianqian is resting her head on the table, playing with her new HTC mobile phone. She is swiping and tapping on the phone with her slim finger happily, while Yu Meixia is holding a crystal ashtray beside Dong Xuebing on the sofa. Once in a while, she will catch the cigarette ash with the ashtray, and when the cigarette is almost finishing, she will take it from Dong Xuebing's lips and snub it.

"Qianqian." Yu Meixia looked at her daughter. "Stop playing with your phone and rest your eyes."

Yu Qianqian acknowledged. "Mum, I… can I play with it for a while more?"

Yu Meixia nodded. "Only five more minutes."

"Ok! Thank you!" Yu Qianqian seems to be sending an SMS.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Just let her play with it. It's the school holidays, and she doesn't have anything to do. Let's go to the room. I need to surf the net."

Bedroom.

After closing the door, Yu Meixia helped Dong Xuebing to the PC, and switch it on. She sat beside Dong Xuebing and used the mouse to click on whatever Dong Xuebing asked her to. They looked at some online news and checked on his emails. Although Sister Yu is not good with PC, after helping Dong Xuebing in the past few days, she learned how to type.

"Sister Yu."

"Huh?"

"Why are you avoiding me these few days?"

"No… I…, I did not."

"Is it because of what happened that day?"

Dong Xuebing saw Sister Yu's face turns red. After the QnA game four days ago, Dong Xuebing got to know some of Yu Meixia's secrets. What Yu Meixia told Dong Xuebing was too shameful, and when Dong Xuebing recalls what she said, his heart was pumping fast. Aunt Xuan had never shared these things with him, and Sister Yu is the first woman who told him that. "Ahem… why not you share some more secrets with me? Anyway, we got nothing to do now."

Yu Meixia turns her head away from Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing shamelessly asked. "Did you do 'that' today?"

"No…"

"Errr… What about yesterday?"

Yu Meixia bit her lower lips and mumbled. "Yes."

"Yesterday? How come I don't know?"

"You… you are asleep at night… and I went to the bathroom…"

"What did you use?"

"My hands."

"Didn't you say it's once a week? It's only been three days…"

Yu Meixia was breathing faster and was squeezing her thighs tightly. "I… suddenly got the urge yesterday."

"Then you…"

"Xuebing, stop asking… can you please stop asking? I…"

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Alright. Just one last question, ok?"

Yu Meixia hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Are you thinking of doing 'that' now?"

"I…" Yu Meixia replied, without thinking. "Yes." After she answered, she was too ashamed to look at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing could feel his body heating up. Sister Yu had answered him, and this is too exciting. "Sister Yu, how about I call Qianqian over, and you can go to the bathroom?"

Yu Meixia quickly replied. "No… No need. I don't have the urge now."

"Aren't you thinking of 'that' now?"

"Please… stop mentioning that. I…"

"We had shared so many secrets, what's there to be ashamed of? You had helped me two days ago, and I want to help you too. I will call Qianqian over?"

"But it's still daytime. I…"

"What's wrong with daytime? You must wait until I fall asleep?"

Yu Meixia covered her face with her hands and was squeezing her thighs tightly. "Please stop talking about this."

Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia. "I will call Qianqian over." Yu Meixia did not reply, and Dong Xuebing shouted. "Qianqian! Come over for a while!"

The bedroom door opened, and Qianqian entered with her phone. "Big Brother, you are looking for me?"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Hehe… your mother's typing is too slow. Can you help me open two websites? I want to read the news."

"Ok!" Yu Qianqian walked over. "Mum?"

Yu Meixia looked at her daughter and let her take her chair.

Dong Xuebing said to Yu Meixia. "Sister Yu, Qianqian can help me. You can go out to watch TV."

"I…"

"Just go."

After Yu Meixia left the bedroom, Dong Xuebing listened carefully. About ten seconds later, he heard the bathroom's door closing. The whole house is quiet, and around twenty minutes later, Dong Xuebing heard the bathroom door open. A while later, Yu Meixia returned with a cup of hot tea for Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia. "You finish watching TV?"

Yu Meixia blushed. "Yes."

Dong Xuebing took a glance at Yu Meixia's body, and she is flushed. When Sister Yu is feeding Dong Xuebing with the tea, Dong Xuebing could smell the scent of hand soap. She had just washed her hands, and Dong Xuebing imagined what how she looks like when using her hands.

Yu Meixia noticed Dong Xuebing was sniffing her hands and quickly take her right hand away.

Dong Xuebing immediately know she had used her right hand!

Yu Meixia embarrassedly fed Dong Xuebing with the tea and returned to the living room. She sat in front of the TV and switched channels. She wonders what had happened to her these few days. Her actions are weird and answered all of Dong Xuebing's questions truthfully. She even did what she was told. Now, Yu Meixia is regretting her actions and blames herself for being so stupid. How can she tell Chief Dong all those things? What was she thinking?!

But it's too later for Yu Meixia to regret.

Dong Xuebing knows everything about Yu Meixia now, and she was still the one who told him.

Yu Meixia covered her face and sighed.
