A Public Toilet Predicament

Before her mind could fully process the sudden information, Gu Wei, standing beside her, sprang into action.

Taking a decisive step forward, Gu Wei swept Xiang Qing into a protective embrace, her posture exuding an overwhelming dominance as she confronted the young man.

“She is not alone,” Gu Wei declared, a smile playing on her lips, yet the amusement in her eyes was as cold as ice. “She belongs to me. Understood?”

Her gaze, brimming with undisguised contempt, swept over the young man from head to toe.

“And who do you think you are, to even dare?”

Stunned by Gu Wei’s formidable aura, the young man’s face cycled through shades of green and white. His legs practically buckled beneath him, particularly upon noticing the watch adorning Gu Wei’s wrist—a timepiece he knew he could never afford, even with a lifetime of struggle.

‘People like her, those with immense wealth, possessed a hundred ways to make your life a living hell.’

“S-sorry!” he stammered, offering a hasty apology before scurrying away in utter humiliation.

The entire exchange unfolded with seamless grace, an undeniable display of formidable power.

Nestled securely in Gu Wei’s arms, Xiang Qing inhaled the faint, pleasant scent emanating from her, her mind momentarily dazed.

‘That display just now… why did it seem, well, a little bit handsome?’

‘Even though she was a pervert, a human-shaped pervert, a lunatic… that surge of possessiveness, that direct confrontation…’

‘No, no! Xiang Qing, snap out of it!’

‘She’s merely asserting her ownership! You’re just her plaything, a mere possession!’

‘But…’

‘Being shielded by such a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged rich woman, and having those irritating flies chased away…’

‘How to describe it? It actually felt… rather exhilarating?’

A flush, beyond her control, crept across Xiang Qing’s cheeks.

“What’s wrong? Was I too dashing for you?” Gu Wei leaned down, her warm breath caressing Xiang Qing’s ear, making it tingle.

“N-no, not at all!” Xiang Qing quickly wriggled out of her embrace, pulling away with a guilty flush.

Observing her crimson earlobes, Gu Wei’s smile deepened further.

‘This little kitten claims to resist with her words, yet her body tells a far more honest tale.’

After a full day of amusement, the sun began its slow descent towards the horizon.

Xiang Qing’s legs felt utterly alien, a jelly-like mixture of aches and softness, leaving her yearning to collapse right there.

Gu Wei, returning with two enormous cotton candies, gently led Xiang Qing to a long bench nestled beneath the towering Ferris wheel.

The lingering glow of the sunset bathed them both, casting a tender, golden sheen over everything.

“Did you have fun today?” Gu Wei asked, taking a bite of her cotton candy and turning her head towards Xiang Qing.

Xiang Qing found herself momentarily entranced, gazing at Gu Wei’s face, which the setting sun had softened into an unusually gentle beauty.

She parted her lips, but the perfunctory “happy” caught in her throat.

‘It seemed… aside from being taken advantage of, she truly had… enjoyed it, just a little bit…’

Just as the atmosphere began to thicken with an unspoken intimacy, Gu Wei suddenly leaned in closer.

Their faces were so close that Xiang Qing could distinctly see the delicate curl of Gu Wei’s long eyelashes.

“You’ve been playing all day; you must be tired.”

Gu Wei’s voice dropped to a low, suggestive murmur.

“Tonight, why don’t we try something… a little more thrilling, hmm?”

‘More thrilling?’

Uttered with Gu Wei’s aggressively piercing gaze and hushed tone, those three words were a textbook example of innuendo!

‘What could possibly be more thrilling than being groped by you all day at an amusement park?’

‘Could it be…’

Instantly, countless unspeakable, illicit images flashed through Xiang Qing’s mind.

‘Little leather whips, red candles, all sorts of bizarre props…’

‘Help! This madwoman isn’t planning some R-rated play, is she?!’

“G-General Gu…”

Xiang Qing’s tongue felt like it was tied in knots. She stiffly pulled at the corners of her mouth, attempting a final, desperate plea. “It’s getting late, shouldn’t we… shouldn’t we head back? We both have work tomorrow.”

“What’s the rush?” Gu Wei chuckled softly, her smile breathtakingly beautiful beneath the fading sunlight, yet her words sent a jolt of terror through Xiang Qing.

“It’s precisely because it’s dark that the real fun begins.”

Without giving Xiang Qing a moment to react, she seized her wrist and began pulling her deeper into the park.

Dragged along by Gu Wei, Xiang Qing’s legs felt like jelly, and her heart hammered wildly in her chest.

‘It’s over.’

‘This time, it’s truly over for me.’

She felt less like she was being led by a stunning beauty and more like she was being dragged by a succubus intent on draining her yang energy—no, wait, her yin energy.

Her mind raced, already calculating her options: if Gu Wei truly intended something outrageous, should she play dead, or scream for help?

‘But in front of this omnipotent, money-wielding boss, who would believe her cries of “assault”?’

The more Xiang Qing pondered, the deeper her despair became.

They traversed the deserted path, the dim, yellow lamplight casting their elongated shadows far ahead.

Xiang Qing’s heart was lodged firmly in her throat. She nervously glanced around, trying to discern where her ultimate ‘execution ground’ might be.

‘Would it be that lovers’ hotel over there?’

‘Or perhaps directly in the back seat of the Maserati?’

‘But that space is far too cramped; there’s no room to maneuver!’

‘Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What on earth am I thinking?!’

Just as Xiang Qing’s mind spiraled into a flurry of wild conjectures, Gu Wei abruptly halted.

Unable to stop in time, Xiang Qing bumped directly into Gu Wei’s surprisingly soft back.

She lifted her gaze, took in the building before her, and felt her entire being go utterly numb.

A public restroom.

The large characters glowed eerily in the encroaching darkness.

Xiang Qing: “?”

‘A public toilet?’

‘The ‘more thrilling’ part… is playing in a public toilet?!’

‘General Gu, your tastes are truly… extravagant! What kind of outrageous fetish is this?!’

“Why are you just standing there, stunned? Come inside.”

A knowing smile played on Gu Wei’s lips as she unceremoniously pulled the petrified Xiang Qing into the women’s restroom.

At this late hour, the women’s restroom was utterly deserted, save for the stark white light illuminating rows of cubicle doors, creating an unsettling, almost eerie silence.

With a soft click, Gu Wei casually locked the main door of the restroom behind them.

Xiang Qing’s heart plummeted with an audible thump.

‘She… she locked the door!’

‘She’s going to close the door and beat the dog! And I’m the dog!’

“G-General Gu! You—you—you… you need to calm down! This is illegal!” Xiang Qing’s voice trembled uncontrollably.

“Illegal?” Gu Wei murmured, taking a deliberate step closer.

With a swift motion, she pinned Xiang Qing against the cold wall, her hands bracing on either side of Xiang Qing’s head in a classic kabedon pose.

The distance between them vanished in an instant. Gu Wei’s pleasant scent, laced with a potent, assertive dominance, rudely invaded Xiang Qing’s senses.

“Don’t you love money?” Gu Wei murmured, lowering her head, her warm breath caressing Xiang Qing’s earlobe. “Make me happy, and you can name your price.”

‘This was blatant, unadulterated financial temptation!’

Inside Xiang Qing’s mind, an angel and a devil began a furious battle.

‘Angel Xiang Qing: No! You cannot sell your soul and body for money! You must hold your ground!’

‘Devil Xiang Qing: Name your price! Sister! A luxury sea-view apartment in a first-tier city is practically within reach! Go for it!’

Just as she was caught in this internal struggle, on the verge of succumbing to the devil’s whispers, Gu Wei’s flawlessly beautiful face drew even closer.

In those stunning eyes, Xiang Qing’s small, panic-stricken face was perfectly reflected.

“You look very beautiful in that outfit today,” Gu Wei’s voice was a husky, sensual whisper. “I’ve been holding back all day.”

With that, she offered Xiang Qing no further opportunity to think, tilting her head slightly as she leaned in to kiss those cherry-pink lips.

‘It’s over, it’s truly over! My first kiss is about to be stolen!’

Terrified, Xiang Qing squeezed her eyes shut, her body rigid as a stone, bracing herself for her imminent, defiled fate.

However, just as their lips were a mere millimeter from meeting—

“Mmm… ah…”

A profoundly subtle, suppressed female voice drifted eerily from the innermost cubicle.

This was swiftly followed by the rough, heavy breathing of a man.

The air in the entire restroom instantly solidified.

Gu Wei’s movements halted abruptly.

Xiang Qing’s tightly shut eyes snapped open.

‘What in the world is happening?’

‘A live broadcast?’

‘In this public restroom, besides them, there were other people… doing things?!’

Xiang Qing’s face immediately flushed a deeper crimson than a monkey’s backside.

She had never, in her entire life, encountered a situation quite so utterly mortifying!

Yet, the instigator, Gu Wei, after a fleeting moment of surprise, showed not the slightest hint of embarrassment. Instead, her smile grew even more excited and mischievous.

Far from pulling away, she leaned in even closer, her warm lips brushing almost imperceptibly against Xiang Qing’s ear.

Her voice dropped even further, imbued with a distinctly alluring quality.

“Did you hear that?”

“It seems… someone else is even more impatient than we are.”

“Xiao Qing, tell me, should we… perhaps compete with them, to see whose sounds are louder?”

Xiang Qing’s mind utterly imploded.

‘Devil! This woman is absolutely a devil!’

‘What kind of depraved words are these?!’

‘Compete? Compete my ass!’

‘They’re a couple, but what are we? A domineering CEO and her little nanny!’

‘A ‘duet’ with strangers in a public restroom?’

‘If this got out, how could she ever face anyone again!’
