"Huh???"
I immediately jumped up, "Bo-boss, please, don't joke like this."
"I'm not joking." The boss's expression was very serious, "What, you don't find my wife attractive?"
"No, not at all, your wife is beautiful, but... but you're my boss, she's your wife, how can I sleep with your woman? This is not right, absolutely not! I can't possibly do this!" I was flustered and didn't know what to do.
The boss sighed and said: "Wang Ming, since you came across this situation tonight, I reckon it must be fate. Besides, I trust your character, and that's why I asked you to help with this issue.
"Aren't you curious why I've been unprotected with Zheng Ziyun many times and she never gets pregnant? Aren't you curious why after five years of marriage, we don't have a child?
I didn't know how to respond, so I just kept silent.
The boss continued: "It's because I've been diagnosed with Azoospermia, I cannot have children. I've been secretly getting treatments for the past five years, but to no avail.
"Wang Ming, my wife comes from a very prestigious family, they are very wealthy. This company was started with her financial support. However, her family only has daughters, so they are in need of a male heir. If I cannot have a son with her, we won't get the right to inherit the family property.
"I can't even have a daughter, let alone a son! Wang Ming, I cannot lose my wife, I cannot lose this company, you must help me considering the fact that I have promoted you."
The boss's words left me feeling disoriented. Is the boss living off his wife? Is his wife a rich woman? Her family only has daughters? They need a son to fight for their inheritance?
It seemed like I have somehow stumbled into a big game and there was no way out.
But indeed, this is too shocking for me. Being a country boy, how could I possibly accept this? Is this how urban people play their game?
I could only hope that the boss's wife would refuse. Therefore, I stammered: "But... but boss, even if I agree, your wife won't!"
The boss smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about that, as long as you agree, I'll figure it out. Stay at my place tomorrow night and just wait for my arrangements."
At this very moment, I had absolutely no power to refuse because I was already aware of these matters and got myself involved. It's difficult to escape now.
I was still considering how to reject when the boss seemed to have seen through my mind. His tone cooled down: "Wang Ming, don't forget who promoted you and made you what you are today. Now that I have told you everything, if you refuse, there's no reason for me to keep you because you know too much. Now, you only have two options, either to agree with me or to die."
The boss gave a cold humph before adding: "Don't forget your family. If you die, it might not matter too much to you, but what about them? Also, don't forget the hundred-thousand bonus at the end of the year in my hand. If I remember correctly, your mother seems to need this money for her treatment, right?"
I was completely shocked after hearing these words and felt extremely bitter. I never expected my boss, usually such an imposing figure, would resort to such lowly threats.
In the end, I had no choice but to compromise.
The next day, I arrived at the company with a very uneasy feeling. The voices around me always gave me cold feet, making me feel like everyone was discussing me.
I felt guilt-ridden as I sat at my workstation, my mind constantly wandering for the entire day.
"Hey, Wang Ming!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice interrupted my thoughts. I was startled and turned to see a voluptuously proportioned woman sitting on my desk, her thighs encased in a tight skirt.
Who else could it be but Zheng Ziyang?
"What… What's up?" I asked her.
Zheng Ziyang leaned in to me, her eyes curved into a moon-shaped smile, asking: "Did you have a good time last night?"
My mind flashed back to the scenes from last night and the sultry sound of her, causing me to respond instantly.
"Pfft!"
Zheng Ziyang could not help but burst into laughter, "Are you being shy now? Don't tell me…you were a virgin?"
She was right. I indeed was a virgin, hadn't even had a girlfriend, and had barely any contact with women, so I felt an instinctual nervousness every time I got close to one, especially one as flirtatious and provocative as Zheng Ziyan.
Zheng Ziyan was an extremely open person and dressed just as provocatively. I, on the other hand, was her complete opposite. That's why she always teased me, always got me all riled up and then walked away, laughing heartily with satisfaction.
But this time, she didn't walk away. Instead, she climbed down from the table, squatted next to me, and asked, “Wang Ming, you aren't a silent pervert, are you?"
"I...I'm not!" I retorted.
Zheng Ziyan pointed at my naughty lower half and said, “What’s this then?"
I quickly hunched up my waist.
Zheng Ziyan said: “You must be thinking dirty thoughts. I'm going to tell the boss, say you’re bullying me!"
I immediately argued, "I didn't! When...when did I ever bully you?"
Zheng Ziyan pointed at my lower half again and said, “Then explain this situation to me!"
I was at a loss for words. Against the quick-witted Zheng Ziyan, I was no match.
"It all happens because of your revealing attire!" I replied, irritated.
Zheng Ziyan covered her mouth and laughed. "Answer my question and I'll forgive you," she said.
"What's the question?" I asked.
Zheng Ziyan asked me, “What were you thinking about just now?"
Taken aback, I thought about what I was doing just now? Naturally, I was wondering what to do when I go to the boss's house tonight!
"But I can't necessarily tell Zheng Ziyi about this, and can only lie by saying: 'I was thinking about you.'"
"Pfft! Why are you so straightforward?" Zheng Ziyi laughed, "Then let me touch you."
I jumped in surprise upon seeing her outstretched hand and hurriedly replied, "Don't!"
"Let me touch you! Or else I'm telling the boss you're bullying me!" Zheng Ziyi threatened me again.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, I reluctantly agreed.
With a mischievous grin, Zheng Ziyi watched as I closed my eyes, ready to face whatever was coming my way.
"Hahaha!" Zheng Ziyi suddenly burst out laughing, covering her mouth and saying, "Wang Ming, you're too adorable!"
"Huh?" I was taken aback by Zheng Ziyi's reaction.
"The boss is looking for you, he wants to see you." Zheng Ziyi said.
"Oh, oh, oh!" I quickly responded, throwing a lingering glance at Zheng Ziyi before leaving. "Zheng Ziyi, you know the boss is married, right?"
"Of course I know, but we've already started."
"Already started?!"
I was taken aback. Had they started even before the boss got married? No wonder she didn't even need an interview and was directly hired as the boss's secretary!
Turns out, the boss had brought her directly to the company.
"Yes, we started when I was in college, back when I was a freshman." Zheng Ziyi stated.
I was taken aback and asked her curiously, "But the boss is much older than you. How did you guys meet in college? When he was in college, you should still be in high school or junior high, right?"
Zheng Ziyun tilted her head and said with a playful grin, "Want to know? You'll have to chase after me first, if you catch me, I'll tell you."
"Aren’t you the boss's mistress?"
"Surely, if he can have a mistress, can't I also have one? We could have a secret love affair, how exciting!"
I couldn't stand the teasing from this woman and bolted, her laughter ringing in my ears, as clear as silver bells.
I went to the boss's office where he dismissed the other employees in the office and asked me to lock the door.
"Wang Ming, have you prepared for tonight?" the boss asked me.
Hesitantly, I nodded and said "Uhm..."
The boss nodded and smiled, "Good. I recall your resume mentioned that you were in the military, so your physical condition is excellent. If you can help my wife have a son, I'll give you a million!"
Upon hearing, I almost passed out.
Holy Cow! One million?
Not only do I get to sleep with the boss's wife for free, but I also get a million!
