Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1439: Chapter 1440: Out of the Wolf’s Den, Into the Tiger’s Lair

In the shower, water splashes everywhere. Chiang Qing stands under the showerhead, scrubbing her body with soap over and over again, until her skin turns red and painful. Then she squats down, hugging her knees, allowing the water to hit her body.

Across the shower, there’s a large mirror. This design was intentional; it was that pervert’s idea. It’s hard to tell how many times he dragged her here, forcing her to watch the scenes of their intimacy. If she turned her eyes away, he would hit her.

Chiang Qing coldly laughs at her reflection in the mirror; this body is already filthy. And who would have thought that someone seemingly loving and kind-hearted is actually a beastly big bad wolf?

A month ago.

Just when she was about to break down, a strange man appeared before her eyes, taking her away from that hellish place that was driving her to the brink of madness and sanity.

Chiang Qing asked who came to take her away. The man said nothing until they arrived at this manor, this little villa, and saw Gao Hongbo.

Seeing Gao Hongbo’s gentle smile, Chiang Qing’s psychological defenses collapsed instantly, and she rushed into his arms, crying bitterly.

Back then, she was so naive. She even thought Gao Hongbo was her savior, specially sent to rescue her from that wolf’s den. However, she was too optimistic.

"Don’t worry. I am here. No one can bully you anymore. Just rest here peacefully!" Back then, Gao Hongbo said this.

She truly felt relieved but didn’t catch the subtext that ’no one’ didn’t include Gao Hongbo himself.

In the dead of night, Gao Hongbo came to her room.

Chiang Qing stayed in a psychiatric hospital for a year and never truly slept deeply there. How could she ever truly sleep in such a place, not fearing that some other manic would come in and strangle her?

Therefore, the moment she saw the shadow, she screamed in fear.

The lights came on, revealing Gao Hongbo wearing a bathrobe.

Chiang Qing was somewhat flustered but pretended to be calm, asking, "Uncle Gao, why haven’t you rested yet?"

"I was worried Xiao Qing might be scared in a new place, so I came to check on you!" Gao Hongbo said kindly.

His old eyes, furrowed with wrinkles, seemed like X-rays, penetrating her wholly, then finally resting on her chest.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the sleepwear prepared for Chiang Qing were silk, seductive camisoles. She was wearing a lace-edged, black V-neck sleepwear, exposing a large area of snow-white skin.

Chiang Qing’s heart beat rapidly. Seeing his predatory gaze, she felt even more afraid, instinctively pulling the quilt to cover herself.

"Don’t cover up. Xiao Qing is very beautiful." Gao Hongbo smiled slightly, saying, "I have long liked Xiao Qing."

"I, I also like Uncle Gao." Chiang Qing quivered.

"Really?" Gao Hongbo narrowed his eyes, saying after a while, "But my affection for Xiao Qing is that between a man and a woman."

Chiang Qing was stunned.

"From the first time I saw Qingqing, I liked her; I thought how could there be such a beautiful girl in the world. I feel that only Qingqing is fit to stand by my side. You also know your Aunt Gao is illiterate..." Gao Hongbo muttered about the ’unhappiness’ in his marriage.

Chiang Qing faintly felt something was off; she feared that she had just escaped the wolf’s den only to enter the tiger’s lair.

Indeed, after speaking for a while, Gao Hongbo took her hand, asking, "I know following me is a grievance for Qingqing, but I will definitely treat you well. And besides, the surroundings here are beautiful, the food and accommodations are great, much better than the psychiatric hospital, right? What do you say, Qingqing?"
