Chapter Eighty-four Mutual Consent

  "Tan, Tan Lingli, I didn't mean to."

  Liu Hong stuttered and explained, but there was nothing good to explain. The more he said, the harder it was to say anything because there was nothing that could be explained. Before Liu Hong had finished speaking, Tan Lingli suddenly burst into tears.

  Tan Lingli's heart was very complicated, this ending was what Tan Lingli had hoped for, but she had never officially dated before, Liu Hong was her first man, and her first time was given to him like that. Was it worth it or not? Tan Lingli hesitated, was the price too high? However, things were already like this, time couldn't flow backwards, so she could only get the most benefit from Liu Hong now.

  Tan Lingli cried, Liu Hong panicked. At present, he is just starting out in his unit. If there are problems in the relationship between men and women, everything will be over. Liu Hong cannot marry Tan Lingli, he has already obtained a marriage certificate with Zheng Yuxin. Strictly speaking, he and Zheng Yuxin are already legal husband and wife. If they have an extramarital affair, they will be directly knocked to the bottom.

  "I, I really didn't mean to."

  "Waaah, I'm not blaming you."

  "You, you tell me, what do I need to do, I'll agree to anything."

  Tan Lingli lowered her head, temporarily not speaking. At this moment, Liu Hong felt that time was so long, and he seemed to be a prisoner waiting for the verdict. Tan Lingli was the judge. If Tan Lingli could let go, nothing would happen to him. If Tan Lingli didn't forgive him, he would be sent directly to hell. After all, Liu Hong was still young and had not experienced such things before, so it was natural that he was flustered.

  "I want to live in a hotel, think about it carefully, you send me off."

  Liu Hong was nervous, Tan Lingli didn't say how to deal with it, Liu Hong hastily agreed and sent Tan Lingli to the hotel. The distance from the municipal government dormitory is not far away, there is a hotel nearby. Liu Hong dared not walk together with Tan Lingli, he went ahead to register and book a room. Tan Lingli walked slowly, obviously feeling uncomfortable.

  Liu Hong walked out of the hotel and handed the key to Tan Lingli. Tan Lingli only said one sentence, waiting for Liu Hong in the room. Liu Hong didn't dare say no, Tan Lingli hadn't made a statement yet, and the stone in Liu Hong's heart hadn't fallen to the ground.

  The door of the room was slightly ajar, and after Liu Hong went in, he quickly closed it. He wanted to make things clear with Tang Lingli. As long as he could persuade Tang Lingli, no matter what price he had to pay, everything would be fine. On the way here, Liu Hong had sobered up a bit. This matter absolutely couldn't be exposed; otherwise, the cost would be too great. No matter what, he had to make amends.

  Tan Lingli was taking a bath, without closing the bathroom door. Liu Hong saw Tan Lingli's room again, and he walked to the bedside with a guilty conscience and sat down. Soon, Tan Lingli finished washing up and came out wrapped in a towel.

  "Liu Hong, you'd better go wash up too, your body smells of sweat."

  Liu Hong felt very uncomfortable on his body, and when he ate, he sweated a lot. He also had a fierce battle with Tan Lingli, and now his body was still sweating profusely.

  Hot water washed over his body, Liu Hong was tense in thought, wondering how to bring up the matter, what kind of price he had to pay, this price, must be one that he could bear, otherwise, he and Tang Lingli would not come to an agreement.

  After taking a bath, the clothes can't be worn again. Liu Hong was somewhat helpless and simply rinsed his clothes. He had never washed his own clothes before, only rinsing them under running water, wringing them out, and hanging them in the bathroom. Fortunately, there was still a towel in the bathroom, so Liu Hong wrapped himself in it and walked out of the bathroom to find that Tan Lingli had already brewed two cups of tea.

  "Liu Hong, sit down."

  When Liu Hong sat down, the towel almost slipped off, he hurriedly tightened it, and both of them were wrapped in towels. The atmosphere in the room was a bit ambiguous, Liu Hong knew that he had to break this atmosphere.

  "Tan Lingli, I owe you an apology. You are Zheng Yuxin's best friend and I have done wrong. What do you want me to do? Just name it, as long as I can accept it, I will definitely make it right and compensate you."

  Tan Lingli smiled, Liu Hong shivered with a chill.

  "Liu Hong, today's matter, no one knows, I won't say it out loud. You and Zheng Yuxin are about to get married soon, I won't ruin your family."

  Tan Lingli said this, Liu Hong let out a sigh of relief. This is the most important thing. As long as Tan Lingli doesn't plan to ruin his relationship with Zheng Yuxin, there won't be any excessive demands afterwards.

  "But I have a condition, I don't want to work in Hanzhong District anymore, it's too hard. I want to enter Xilin City TV Station to work."

  Liu Hong's forehead broke out in cold sweat, Tan Lingli's request, he really couldn't do it, now he was just a small section chief of the municipal government, where would the leaders of the TV station know him?

  "Tan Lingli, what you said, I won't be able to do it."

  "I know you can't do it, but your father can."

  Liu Hong's mind was a complete blank. His father was very perceptive, and if he brought up this matter himself, his father would definitely become suspicious. Although Tang Lingli had helped him before, that was already a long time ago. Moreover, after Liu Hong started working, he realized that Tang Lingli's help was insignificant in the eyes of those in officialdom.

  "Liu Hong, this is what I asked for, you've done it, let's consider our matter settled."

  Tan Lingli finished speaking and lay down on the bed, Tan Lingli did not cover her body, snow-white thighs, plump chest, the root of her thigh was vaguely exposed, Liu Hong could see a black patch there.

  Liu Hong thought quickly, and he remembered Tan Lingli's help several times, the letter, and Tan Lingli helping him lie and frame Xu Shaojie. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Liu Hong's mind, and he thought of a way to deal with this matter, how to tell his father about it, and let his father handle it. However, Liu Hong didn't think that he was thinking too simply, what kind of person is Liu Zhiwen, couldn't see the problem? After some careful consideration, Liu Hong believed that he had found a good solution.

  Liu Hong had thought of a solution and his hanging heart was finally at ease, he was confident that he could meet Tan Lingli's requirements. At this moment, Liu Hong looked at Tan Lingli again, her bath towel could no longer cover her body, Liu Hong felt hot again, and his lower body reacted involuntarily. Liu Hong cursed himself a little, okay, the wound had forgotten the pain, but this wound was not fully healed, it just found a way to treat it. However, Liu Hong couldn't leave the room now, his clothes were washed and hung in the bathroom, wearing them on his body would make people think something had happened.

  Tan Lingli tossed about on the bed, and this time, her lower body was almost completely exposed in front of Liu Hong. In an instant, evil thoughts occupied Liu Hong's mind: I, Liu Hong, have done such a big thing for you, Tan Lingli, and sleeping with you is nothing, it's all consensual, anyway, we've already had the first time, and doing it again doesn't make a difference.

  Liu Hong stood up, the towel slipping from his body, his lower half already erect. He crawled onto the bed, tore open Tang Lingli's towel, and Tang Lingli didn't resist. Liu Hong pressed her down, found her lips, and their tongues entwined. There was a refreshing scent in Tang Lingli's mouth, similar to Zheng Yuxin's. Liu Hong thought that maybe all women had this scent. His hands forcefully rubbed against Tang Lingli's breasts until she let out a moan. This time, when Liu Hong entered Tang Lingli's body, his movements were extremely skilled. Tang Lingli's face turned red, unable to express her feelings clearly. Liu Hong didn't care about any of that, only focused on releasing himself. When he finished again inside Tang Lingli's body, he suddenly thought, what if she gets pregnant? But at this moment, Liu Hong wasn't thinking about that anymore.

  Tan Lingli's body was very soft, Liu Hong did not leave the hotel, he hugged Tan Lingli to sleep, don't know why, Liu Hong felt very comfortable, one night, his hands were all pinching Tan Lingli's breasts.

  At dawn, Tan Lingli woke up, and soon Liu Hong also woke up. Liu Hong was young and vigorous, and his lower body reacted again. At this moment, Tan Lingli felt a burning sensation in her lower body, but before she could speak, her lips were sealed by Liu Hong. Tan Lingli felt something entering her body, and her lower body swelled up. She closed her eyes, let out a soft sigh, and two tears fell down. Liu Hong didn't care about any of this and continued to thrust until he had released all his energy into Tan Lingli's body.

  "Liu Hong, remember what you said, my time is limited."

  "Tan Lingli, don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."

  "I want to know what time it is. If you take too long, I won't be able to wait."

  "What time did you say?"

  "Before you and Zheng Yuxin hold the ceremony, I will enter Xilin City TV Station to work."

  Liu Hong took a deep breath, this time requirement was too high, but now it's not the time to regret, he and Tan Lingli were mutually beneficial, one night, he fully exerted all his energy, Tan Lingli endured it, he felt comfortable, but had to pay the price.

  "Alright, I'll definitely do it, and I was thinking of inviting you as a guest."

  Liu Hong got up and found that Tan Lingli was still lying down. He thought Tan Lingli would get up and go to have breakfast with him together.

  "Liu Hong, you go first, I want to rest for a while."

  Liu Hong entered the bathroom, simply washed his face, rinsed his body, and had a big morning exercise, sweating all over. His clothes were already dry, so Liu Hong put them on and said goodbye to Tang Lingli before leaving the room alone. He didn't know that because of his excessive vigor, Tang Lingli couldn't get up for a while and needed to rest. This was Tang Lingli's first experience with such things, and she didn't understand the severity of the situation. Moreover, Liu Hong had drunk deer antler wine and didn't care about Tang Lingli's feelings, only considering his own pleasure. This wasn't all - the two subsequent times were also extremely vigorous, without any consideration for whether Tang Lingli could endure it.

  It was almost noon when Tan Lingli got up, slowly walked out of the room and left the hotel. She didn't dare to go home directly, so she thought about it and could only take a taxi to her unit. There was still time in the afternoon and evening to rest well, for now, she couldn't let her parents and colleagues at work discover what had happened.

  Liu Hong returned home and went straight to his room. His parents didn't ask him any questions, assuming he was out with colleagues from work for a gathering, maybe having dinner and then going out to have fun or play cards. Liu Hong sat down and thought deeply about Tang Lingli's situation, which obviously needed to be taken care of. There was also the issue of timing - by now, Liu Hong temporarily didn't think about why such a thing had happened, he urgently needed to solve the problem. Zheng Yuxin had just left for a few days, and such a thing had already occurred, so it must be resolved before Zheng Yuxin returned. It had to be done flawlessly. Liu Hong still had some understanding of Tang Lingli's nature - she was quite cunning. Liu Hong fell into deep thought, trying his best to come up with an appropriate reason to bring up the matter with his father.

  Tan Lingli returned to her dormitory and lay down to rest, recalling the events of the past night. She still couldn't believe it was real, but the pain in her lower body told her that it had indeed happened. If the first time with Liu Hong was Tan Lingli's deliberate seduction, then the second and third times were Liu Hong's initiative. Tan Lingli knew that her transfer to work at the West Lin City TV station would definitely be successful, and Liu Hong must have thought it through before making such a choice. In other words, making such a decision was still a success overall. If she relied on her own efforts, she might never have had the opportunity to enter the West Lin City TV station in her lifetime.

  Lying in bed, Tan Lingli gently stroked her lower body, knowing that the physical pain would temporarily not disappear, but the spiritual imprint might never be erased. Who could she blame? Her family was powerless and without any background; if she didn't take certain measures or make sacrifices, how could she gain anything? Tan Lingli was a woman, an unremarkable-looking woman who had managed to achieve this much with great difficulty.

  At this moment, Tan Lingli comforted herself, thinking that what she had done had brought her a good work unit, high treatment, and the envy of her neighbors. It was worth it.

  Liu Hong made up his mind and found his father to discuss the matter that night, but he must not let his mother know. Time was of the essence now, and before Zheng Yuxin returned, it would be best if his father could successfully arrange for Tan Lingli's transfer. Given his father's personality, Liu Hong knew that the matter would definitely be kept confidential.

  At dinner, Liu Hong was a bit distracted. Cai Juanhua thought Liu Hong was thinking of Zheng Yuxin. Nowadays, young people can't bear to be apart for even a short while. It's not like their time when being separated in different places was a common thing. But Liu Zhiwen didn't think so. Liu Hong's furrowed brow had already caught his attention. Not returning home overnight, could something have happened? During dinner, Liu Zhiwen did not ask Liu Hong anything.
