Luo Bing smiled and said, "What a coincidence. A few days ago, a customer gave me a bottle of vintage red wine. I'll go get it now."
Not long after, Luo Bing took out red wine and two goblets, with a smile on her face, as if she was in a very happy mood. Zhao Ling stared at Luo Bing's expression carefully, and he could not see any mystery, as if Luo Bing was really happy to be with him.
Is she really happy? Zhao Ling knows this clearly.
Luo Bing is nearly 20 years younger than Zhao Ling, and strictly speaking, she can be his daughter. Zhao Ling has taken over Luo Bing's best youth and watched her grow from immaturity to maturity, so Zhao Ling knows Luo Bing very well and she hopes to get more.
Zhao Ling's health has been deteriorating in recent years, especially his performance in bed, which is often lackluster. Although Luo Bing always comforts herself after each failure, Zhao Ling knows that Luo Bing is full of disappointment in herself.
If a man does not behave manly enough in bed, he will lose his prestige. At the same time, he also knows that if a woman cannot find satisfaction of her primitive desires in him, she will leave him one day.
So Zhao Liang chose to find a channel for Luo Bing to vent her desires, and he introduced a boyfriend to Luo Bing.
Zhao Liang sometimes felt that he was ridiculous and even a little perverted. Finding a man for his mistress was like finding a green hat to wear, but Zhao Liang still did it because he loved Luo Bing deeply and was afraid that Luo Bing would leave him. If he controlled her marriage, Luo Bing would never be able to escape.
Zhao Liang planned everything for Luo Bing, including work and even family.
Then, why did she betray him anyway? It was hard to understand, so Zhao Ling looked at Luo Bing carefully, hoping to get some clues from her expression.
"Is there something on my face?" Luo Bing touched her cheek subconsciously.
Zhao Ling said calmly: "After a while, you will marry Chang Jian, and then we won't be able to meet so conveniently, so I want to see you more."
Luo Bing smiled and said, "Old Zhao, I didn't expect you to say such sentimental words. Did the sun rise from the west today?"
Zhao Liang is a very considerate man, he has the charm of a mature man, which is why Luo Bing voluntarily became Zhao Liang's mistress. But because of his age, Zhao Liang rarely made any vows. Being with Zhao Liang, Luo Bing felt like she was in love with her father. Although the feeling was satisfying, she lacked the impulse of being in love with a young man.
Over time, Luo Bing felt her heart becoming numb.
Zhao Ling said softly: "If you like, I will say more later."
Luo Bing shook her head and said, "Don't force yourself. I know you like being with me because you can completely relax and put aside all other annoying things. There is no need to do anything to please me, and I am used to it."
Zhao Ling said: "Now I understand that although that way of getting along makes us more familiar with each other, habit is a terrible thing."
Luo Bing asked: "Why are you speaking so heavily today? Is there something wrong?"
Luo Bing was very smart. Zhao Ling must have known something, so she behaved so abnormally, so she tried her best to cover up everything. In fact, a few years ago, Luo Bing was used to acting in front of Zhao Ling, showing thoughtfulness and hiding her thoughts. This was also a habit.
Zhao Ling thought for a moment and said slowly, "Let's eat first."
If he told everything, he would not be able to have a peaceful meal, so Zhao Liang wanted to enjoy the dinner that Luo Bing prepared for him.
Luo Bing got up and found the wine corkscrew, skillfully pulled out the cork, and filled the goblet with half a glass of red wine. Before Zhao Ling met Luo Bing, he hated drinking red wine, but after spending a long time with Luo Bing, he got used to the sour taste of red wine.
The two of them ate in silence. In the middle of the meal, Chang Jian called. Luo Bing chatted with him for a few words in front of Zhao Liang, but Zhao Liang did not respond.
After dinner, Luo Bing cleared the table. When everything was done, Zhao Ling sat on the sofa in the living room and made some tea. He pointed to the right and said, "I have something to talk to you about."
Luo Bing smiled faintly and asked: "What happened? It makes me panic."
Zhao Ling frowned and said, "I want to talk to you about what happened at the Mida Hotel last night."
Luo Bing tried her best to stay calm and said slowly: "Yesterday I had dinner with a friend at the Mida Hotel."
Zhao Ling asked, "Then why did you say last night that you went home as soon as you got off work?"
Luo Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Because I'm afraid you'll be suspicious."
Zhao Ling sneered and said, "You have been acting like a fool since you entered Hanzhou Evening News. Have I ever asked you anything?"
Luo Bing's mouth twitched, and she whispered, "You arranged for someone to monitor me?"
Zhao Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "I wasn't monitoring you. I was monitoring your friend."
Luo Bing taunted, "Since you know everything, why don't you be more straightforward? Why do you have to force me?"
Zhao Ling was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Luo Bing to answer him like this, because in his heart, Luo Bing was obedient, like a canary in a cage. As long as he gave her some food, she would make sweet sounds.
But the current Luo Bing made him feel very unfamiliar. Zhao Ling said in a deep voice: "Luo Bing, you have changed."
Luo Bing sneered, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at herself or at Zhao Ling. "Have you never changed?"
Zhao Ling paused and said, "I'm getting old."
Luo Bing shook her head and said, "You are no longer confident. Once upon a time, you were my sky, but now you are trying to give half of the sky to others."
Zhao Ling was silent for a long time before he said, "If I knew you didn't like Chang Jian, I would never introduce him to you. But you never objected before, and from your reaction, I even think you enjoy living like a normal person."
Luo Bing suddenly laughed loudly twice, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and said, "How ridiculous! Arranging a fiancé for me means I'm like a normal person, right?"
Zhao Ling sighed, knowing that he had made a huge mistake. He slowly said, "I understand what you want. You want to escape from my control, but why do you go looking for my enemy?"
Luo Bing said: "It is precisely because I know that he is your enemy that I do this, because only in this way can I really hurt you. In the past few years, I have had intimate contact with so many men, but I have never seen you so nervous. I think I did the right thing this time. I succeeded in making you react."
Zhao Liang looked at Luo Bing's face. Tears blurred her light makeup. She was still pretty, but when he looked closely, he found more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Although Zhao Liang hoped that Luo Bing had not changed and was still the same as before, he was still disappointed to realize that Luo Bing was moving away from him.
Zhao Ling said coldly: "I didn't expect you to have so much resentment in your heart. Over the years, I have given you a lot. Without me, could you have lived so freely?"
