seven-year itch - Chapter 1

When Jiang Wan stepped into the clothing store, I was sitting on the sofa, admiring Zhou Qing in her white tail dress.

The girl was young and beautiful, yet she exuded a mature charm.

Just by standing there, doing nothing, she could capture all of my attention.

I couldn’t help but start imagining tonight’s banquet and how many men would envy me.

In fact, I had originally planned to take Jiang Wan to the banquet.

After all, she is my lawful wife.

But just one morning a week ago, I caught a glimpse of her while she was changing clothes.

When she took off her loose loungewear, the rolls of fat around her waist were revealed.

Layer upon layer.

It was so repulsive that it made me nauseous.

I couldn’t bear the thought of bringing her to the banquet and the embarrassment it would cause.

So, I thought of my mistress.

To be precise, I didn’t see Zhou Qing as the kind of mistress that people speak of in hushed tones.

I considered her to be my soulmate-someone who was perfectly in tune with me, both emotionally and spiritually.

Not only that, but she also had a dazzling appearance. Just standing beside me, she could highlight my success in business.

In some ways, women are born to complement men.

So, I didn’t care how long Jiang Wan had been dieting for this banquet, nor did I care that she insisted on wearing a suffocating corset underneath, even though it made her struggle to breathe.

I stood firm in my choice.
