Chapter 133 - Cheat On Your Wife With Me

The town of Werden was a scene of enchanting tranquil beauty in the afternoon. Residents of the town who’d heard the news that Josef was back brought flowers and gifts. Xia Lei and Annina helped to greet and take care of the guests and they did not stay long. They expressed their sympathy and left soon after.

Annina, who was helping Josef sort through and order his things, also said, “Let’s go, Lukas, Josef needs a quiet environment to rest.”

Xia Lei was not very willing to leave; he was hoping that Josef would occupy Annina and he would then have a chance to steal the information he wanted. However, he could not find any excuse to stay when Annina talked about leaving so he replied, “Sure, let’s go.”

“It’s okay, you guys can stay.” Josef did not want Annina to leave - he wanted Xia Lei to leave.

“You need to rest, Josef. Give me a call if you need anything. We live close to each other so I only need a few minutes to come over,” said Annina.

“Okay. Come over for dinner tonight,” said Josef.

“We’ll see how it goes,” said Annina.

“Yeah, Annina, let’s accompany Josef tonight. He’ll be lonely on his own,” said Xia Lei.

Annina rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself ‘You idiot. You know that he’s interested in me and you still want me to spend time with him! I rejected him because of you.’

Josef quickly said, “It’s settled then. See you tonight.”

Annina brought Xia Lei out the door with her and to her house. After they walked into the woods, Annina spoke, “What’s the meaning of this, Lukas?”

Xia Lei pretended to not know what she was talking about. “Meaning of what?”

“You’re deliberately creating an opportunity for him and me to be together! Are you trying to pair us up?” said Annina angrily.

Xia Lei smiled wryly. “Am I such a person? I really think that he’s in poor health since he’s just been discharged. It’s also good if we accompany him. I have no other intention.”

He was not creating an opportunity for Josef and Annina to be together but creating an opportunity for himself to steal information. He’d never tell Annina that, though.

“It it true?” Annina looked disbelieving.

“Need me to swear?” said Xia Lei.

Annina suddenly reached with her hand to hold Xia Lei’s lips. “There is no need to swear. The Lord will hear you. Don’t swear unnecessarily.”

She was a Catholic and was not particularly religious but she was sensitive about things like swearing. She was, in other words, a little superstitious.

“Let’s go to your place. We’ll come back later,” said Xia Lei.

Annina probed as she walked. “Lukas, won’t your wife mind if you don’t go home?”

“She…” Xia Lei braced himself. “She’s an honest person. She’s never asked me about my work nor asked me where I’ve been.”

“She trusts you. You must be very trustworthy.” Annina sounded sour.

“Nature calls. I’m going to take care of it, so why don’t you go ahead? I’ll catch up with you later,” said Xia Lei suddenly.

“Yeah, okay.” Annina smiled and went ahead on her own.

Xia Lei walked off the little path and went towards Josef’s house. He stopped about ten metres away in sight of Josef’s house. He kept his gaze fixed on the house. He wanted to be sure of one thing - would Josef hurry to install the completed CNC on his machine at this time?

Rustling suddenly came from behind him.

This was not the rustle of leaves being blown by the wind but of feet shuffling through fallen leaves. Xia Lei’s first reaction to hearing the rustling was to look back and see who it was but remembered something. He was chatting with Annina just seconds ago so who else could it be other than Annina?

What did Annina turn back for?

The question flashed in Xia Lei’s mind and he found his answer in a few seconds. He smiled wryly, then braced himself as he pulled his zipper down…

She wanted to have a look at him, huh? Well then, he should sacrifice at least this much for the mission!

A strong stream of liquid arched through the air and hit the ground three metres away at its furthest from Xia Lei.

Annina, who had circled around to the side of Xia Lei, covered her mouth, stunned.

Xia Lei pretended not to know that she was there. He stared straight at Josef’s house. He was thirty to forty metres away from Josef’s house and this distance was no obstacle to him using his X-ray vision. His left eye twitched and the situation in the house was laid bare to him.

Josef was in the study typing at his desk, looking focused and excited.

‘He’s already preparing the CNC program’ Xia Lei quietly made a judgement, then shook twice and put his little soldier back into the barracks.

Annina ran towards her home on light feet and her long legs went as fast as the wind.
