<h4>Chapter 847: Confide</h4>
It was still raining heavily outside.
Xu Yan’s apartment. 5 pm.
After bathing, Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while before wearing the clothes given to him by Xu Yan. The shirt was loose, especially the chest area. Maybe she wore it a lot, and herrge breasts stretched the chest area. The back of the pants was loose and not very fitting. The clothes had a pleasant smell. It smelled like her natural body scent.
Dong Xuebing opened the door and entered the living room.
Water boiling sounds can be heard from the kitchen. Xu Yan was wearing an apron and cooking soup for Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing’s phone had died, and he felt he should call home first.
Dong Xuebing went over to thendline in the living room and called Xie Hun’s apartment number.
“Hello, I’m Xie Hun.”
“Hun, it’s me. Where’s Mum?”
“She is in the living room with Yunxuan.”
“How is she? Is she still angry with me?”
“How can she not be angry? She said she wanted to disown you.”
“Ah…. Hun, you must talk to her for me.”
“I know. I will talk to her when she calms down tomorrow.”
“It’s my fault. Sigh…. I’m sorry to Mum, Yunxuan, and you. I….”
“Enough… enough…. I had heard you saying this for one year. This is a decision made by the three of us. Let’s talk again when she calms down.”
“Ok. Thank you.”
“It’s a downpour outside. Where are you?”
“I am at my former Leader’s ce.”
“Man or woman?”
“Huh? Of course, it’s male.” At this moment, Xu Yan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup. She overheard Dong Xuebing and looked at him without saying anything.
Dong Xuebing blushed.
Xie Hun replied. “Alright. Just stay away for these two days. I will call you when Mum calms down.”
“Ok. Thanks.”
“Bye.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing quickly exined to Xu Yan. “My phone had died, and I used your phone. Err…. I…. my wife is suspicious, and I am afraid she might….”
Xu Yan smiled. “Come over and try the soup.”
Dong Xuebing quickly went over. “Wow…. It smells nice.” Xu Yan gave him a spoon. “Drink up. There’s more in the pot.” He replied. “Sister Xu, you should have some. Oh, it’s almost dinner time.”
“I had ate lunch, and I am not hungry. Let’s talk about dinnerter.” Xu Yan replied and entered the bathroom. But she did not close the door.
Dong Xuebing drank the soup and felt warm. Xu Yan’s soup was delicious. He looked towards the bathroom and saw her full butt facing his direction. Her top was pushed upwards, and her underwear’scy waistband was exposed. She was kneeling on the floor. He wondered what she was doing until he smelled detergent. She was washing his clothes for him.
Dong Xuebing quickly ran over. “Sister Xu, stop…. How can I let you wash my clothes for me?” Xu Yan waved him off. “Go back and drink your soup.”
“This is not right.” Dong Xuebing argued. “I will do it. Let me wash it myself.”
Xu Yan smiled at Dong Xuebing. “What’s wrong with washing my Godson’s clothes?” He tried to argue. “Even so, you should use the washing machine. Hand washing is too tired.”
“It’s only a few pieces. Machine wash is not as clean as hand washes.”
“But….”
“Stop this and finish your soup. I will check on you when I am done. If you do not finish your soup, I will make you drink two more bowls.”
Xu Yanthered Dong Xuebing’s underwear with detergent and started scrubbing it with her hands.
Dong Xuebing blushed. Even his wife had not washed his underwear and socks. His mother and Aunt Xuan were the only women that had washed them. He felt touched by Xu Yan’s gesture and returned to the living room. He drank two big bowls of soup and felt full.
Xu Yan came out of the bathroom with Dong Xuebing’s clothes. “Are you done?”
“Yes. It was delicious.”
“Haha…. Good.”
“Are you going to hang the clothes? Let me help.”
“No need. Help me get a bowl of soup if you have nothing to do. I am feeling hungry now.”
“Ok…. The soup had be cold. I will heat it first.” Dong Xuebing quickly fired up the stove and stirred the soup. He waited for the soup to be hot before getting a bowl for Xu Yan. He looked at her on the balcony hanging his underwear, and sighed. He felt he had lost all dignity in front of her. She had also seen his naked ass earlier. Never mind…. She is considered his elder, and she does not mind too.
After dinner.
Xu Yan did not let Dong Xuebing do the dishes. She forced him to the living room to read the papers when she cleaned the kitchen. After she was done, she came out with a fruit tter.
“Here.” Xu Yan patted Dong Xuebing’s hand.
Dong Xuebing was moved and felt Sister Xu treated him as if he was her son.
Dong Xuebing bowed his head and sighed when he thought about his mother.
Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Don’t keep everything to yourself. Tell me what happened.”
“I am ashamed to talk about it.” Dong Xuebing’s lips quivered. “Do you have cigarettes? I did not bring it when I left home.”
“Wait here.” Xu Yan went to the TV console and pulled a drawer. She took out a packet of Fu Rong Wang cigarettes and gave it to Dong Xuebing. “It’s a gift. I don’t smoke. Here.” She took out a box of matches from under the coffee table.
Dong Xuebing had not smoked since the afternoon. He quickly lit it and took a deep puff.
Xu Yan said. “Stop pulling a long face. Tell me, why did your mother hit you?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I had disappointed my Mum. I had risked my life to save people in the past. Although my Mum used to scold me for being rash, I know she was proud of me. It has been the same since young. But I did something wrong this time, and she kicked me out. She even wanted to disown me.”
Xu Yan frowned. “Did you ept bribes?”
Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. “No. I can’t even finish spending my money. Why would I ept bribes?”
“Then what is it?”
Dong Xuebing stuttered. “I…. I am married, but…. I have another woman.”
Xu Yan immediately understood. “You have a mistress outside?!”
Dong Xuebing did not dare to look at Xu Yan when he replied. “Yes.”
“How far have you gone?”
“Huh? Err…. We have a child.”
“You even have a child?!” Xu Yan was stunned. “No wonder your mother is so angry with you. If I am her, I will beat you to death.”
Dong Xuebing was speechless. “I should not have told you. I knew you would scold me.”
Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Does your wife know about this?”
“She knew it long ago.” Dong Xuebing paused for a second and continued. “The three of us had talked about this before. But it’s my Mum who can’t ept it.”
“Oh, your wife loves you.”
“That’s right. Hun might seem calm towards everything, but she treated me well.”
“What about your lover?”
“She treats me well too. She took good care of me since young.”
“You two known each other since young?”
“Not really. We had known each other for many years, and she was older than me. She and my mother are close and treat each other like sisters. I think this was why my mother couldn’t ept it and got mad. Sigh…. Sister Xu, what should I do now?”
Xu Yan thought for a while. “You had made a big mistake this time.”
Dong Xuebing was in despair. “Go ahead and scold me. I might feel better after getting scolded.” Xu Yan patted the back of Dong Xuebing’s hand. “How about we think from another perspective. Compared to the others, you did well. Government Officials at your level could easily give in to temptations. At least you know you had done wrong and regrated your actions.”
Dong Xuebing wondered if Xu Yan was scolding him or praising him.
Xu Yan paused for a while and continued. “Don’t worry too much. Since it has happened, find a solution. Your wife and mistress are fine with it, and it should be easy to settle. I have a son, and I know what your Mum is thinking. She will never disown you. She will be fine after a while. Don’t worry.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
“I am sure because I am a Mum too.”
“I felt relieved after hearing what you said.”
