Night, 10 o'clock.
I opened the door and walked in, pressing the light switch. The crystal light in the living room cast my figure onto the floor-to-ceiling windows.
This house will be my bridal chamber tomorrow. My fiancé, Xu Jiali, is a departmental manager in a company. He's handsome and incredibly considerate. I'm thankful to have a man who loves me in my life.
Following tradition, we can't sleep together on the eve of our wedding. Xu Jiali is staying in our new house while I'm sleeping over at my bridesmaid, Xia Nuo's place.
I was checking the items that I'd need for tomorrow's wedding when I realised I'd forgotten my bridal veil.
So, I quickly sneaked back to our new home, without notifying Xu Jiali, hoping to give him a surprise.
The thought of living a blissful life with Xu Jiali forever lifted the corners of my mouth into a smile of joy.
I slipped on a pair of slippers and just as I was about to reach the living room, I heard a seductive moan coming from the master bedroom.
I was staggered! The bedroom door was slightly ajar and an enticing voice was coming from inside.
Instantly, a flame ignited within me. My legs heavy as if filled with lead. But, I couldn't help but walk towards the sound.
Standing at the bedroom door, those wild, sensuous sounds became clearer and each moan pounded heavily in my heart.
The door was partially open, with a gentle nudge from me, it swung open.
A pair of beige high heels are casually discarded. Beside them, women's lingerie and stockings were in a disarray on the floor, fuelling my imagination.
Biting back my anger and panic, I glanced over at the bed, and in one fleeting moment, my heart felt like it was slashed with a knife. The pain was so intense that I could hardly breathe.
My college roommate and best friend for four years, at this very moment, is perched atop a man, losing herself in the act. The man she straddles is my fiancé, Xu Jiali, who I am to marry tomorrow.
When Qin Mengyao's gaze met mine at the entrance, a challenging spark flitted across her eyes, turning her orgasmic cries even more indelicate.
I had a panoramic view of everything in this room; I felt even my breathing hurt. My fiancé was with another woman, lost in the throes of passion.
Shame, anger, humiliation surged in my chest, my fists clenched tight as I fought the urge to rush in and rip them apart.
Qin Mengyao's eyes held a sensual allure, her slender fingers constantly tickling Xu Jiali's sense of touch, her voice sultry to the bone.
"Darling, tomorrow is your wedding day with Gu Xian, and yet you're doing this with me. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Why should I feel guilty? What difference does one night before the wedding make? Besides, she won't know what goes between us."
Xu Jiali's hands roamed ceaselessly over Qin Mengyao's body, his voice filled with suppressed huskiness.
"What if, what if she suddenly walked in, caught us in the act, would she still marry you?"
Qin Mengyao looked my way provocatively, her lips curling in a triumphant and cynical smile.
"She won't come. And even if she finds out, so what? Worst-case scenario, I call the wedding off, I wasn't planning to get hitched so soon anyway."
With a carefree laugh, Xu Jiali went on with his passionate encounter.
"If you don't want to, then why do you want to marry her? You have to know that once you're married, we won't be able to see each other as frequently as now."
