Yao Liang, however, seemed not to have heard me. His eyes were fixed on my enchanting mother as he walked over and extended his hand. "So, Auntie Gu is back in the country. My apologies, I'm afraid you walked in on something embarrassing. I wasn't paying attention, I thought Xiao Bin would be out for a while longer. How rude of me, my apologies!"
He gave a hearty, charming smile, and his handsome face was indeed likable. Mom smiled back, extending her own fair, delicate hand to shake his. She was still wearing her 10 centimeter heels, making her nearly as tall as the well-built Yao Liang.
The moment Yao Liang's hand clasped Mother's, he was greeted by a subtle, elegant perfume and the alluring scent of a mature, beautiful woman. He stared intently into her captivating eyes. After shaking her hand, he quickly ushered us to sit on the sofa, then went to the refrigerator to get some drinks.
I noticed a flicker of a strange expression on Mom's face, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. She smoothed the hem of her short skirt and sat down gracefully on the sofa.
"Xiao Liang, do you live here by yourself?" Mother asked, accepting the drink with a smile. She made no mention of the awkwardness of having walked in on his affair. She crossed her full, shapely right leg over her left, striking an elegant pose. The skirt was so short that it rode up further when she sat, revealing her entire pair of long, fair legs sheathed in stockings. The ultra-thin stockings were stretched tight over her full thighs, showing the flawless, fair skin beneath. The lines from her thighs to her calves were as smooth and even as silk. The thigh high stockings extended all the way to the top of her plump, sensual thighs. The posture was poised and proper, yet the way her elegant, stocking-clad legs were crossed was undeniably sexy.
I was sitting right next to Mom, while Yao Liang sat on the sofa opposite her. I noticed his eyes would occasionally dart with a hot, lecherous gaze toward the space between her crossed legs. I had a nagging feeling her pose might be revealing too much, and I felt a little uneasy.
"I only stay here sometimes. I usually live with my parents. Auntie Gu, did you just return to the country?"
"Yes, I just got back today. Xiao Bin has been staying with you for quite a while, thank you so much for taking care of him," Mom said with a laugh. She must have known the young man before her was being rude, staring blatantly at the area under her skirt and between her legs, but she simply kept her legs elegantly crossed, showing no sign of annoyance.
Yao Liang chuckled. "It's nothing, really. Xiao Bin and I are best friends, this is nothing. I already told him he's welcome to stay as long as he likes. Besides, he can keep me company by playing games with me here!"
His lecherous eyes roamed over her body, over her jade like neck, her deep cleavage, her full, ample breasts. The tight dress clung to her plump, curvaceous hips, and her long, rounded legs, wrapped in sheer, flesh-colored stockings, gleamed with a captivating luster.
Watching his lecherous expression, I felt a pang of displeasure. "You! You never do anything decent, always bringing women here to mess around! That woman from before was clearly married, wasn't she!"
Yao Liang just smiled without answering. The three of us then started chatting about this and that, and the conversation was quite pleasant. But soon, Yao Liang steered the topic toward business and international affairs.
I was surprised to discover that although Yao Liang usually acted like a good for nothing around me, when he talked about luxury goods, investments, and other high society topics, he was a completely different person. On top of that, like my mother, he had traveled to many countries. The two of them grew more and more engrossed in their conversation, leaving me unable to get a word in and feeling left out.
Before long, I realized that although this lecher kept changing the subject, his goal was always the same: to find out about my mother's love life.
The moment he learned that my mother was single and had no plans to remarry, the look in his eyes became fiery. For the rest of the conversation, he completely ignored me, as if I didn't exist. He kept the conversation going with my mother, who was frequently amused by his humorous and witty remarks. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on him with great interest, and my dissatisfaction grew.
"Alright, Xiao Liang, it's getting late. Xiao Bin, go pack your things. He won't be bothering you here anymore. And please, you must accept these gifts I brought for you."
Mom glanced at the time on her phone and smiled, interrupting the conversation.
"Auntie Gu, you're too kind. Xiao Bin and I are friends, how could I accept your gifts? But if you insist on thanking me, I do have a suggestion."
Hearing this, Mom looked intrigued, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. "Xiao Liang, just tell me what you're thinking. After all, you've put up with my precious son for so many days, I certainly have to show my gratitude."
Yao Liang leaned back into the sofa, letting his body sink into the cushions. The crotch of his pants was visibly tented by his large penis, reminding me of the thick shaft I'd seen when he was with that married woman, "Minmin," earlier. The guy was certainly well-endowed, a fact that filled me with both jealousy and resentment.
His eyes roamed back and forth between my mother's full, ample chest and her stocking-clad legs as he said to her, "The reward I want is very simple. Xiao Bin, don't get mad. I want Auntie Gu, to give me a chance. I want your phone number, and add me on WeChat, and allow me to pursue you."
He said it so plainly, I gasped in shock, "Ah!"
Mom, however, didn't seem surprised. A slight smile played on her lips, forming a captivating expression. She glanced at the bulge in his tight pants and said softly, "Xiao Liang, I didn't expect someone so young to have such forward thinking ideas. I think you're just a little too wild for your own good. There's more than twenty years between us. Don't you think what you're suggesting is something out of a fantasy novel?"
Yao Liang, however, seemed unfazed. He smiled with an air of ease. "Auntie Gu, it's an open society now. You're a single, elegant lady, and I'm of legal age. Logically, it's perfectly reasonable and not against the law. And although there's a big age gap, I have plenty of relationship experience, especially with mature women like the one from earlier. I have the financial means to pursue you. I hope you'll give me this chance."
I stood there dumbfounded, listening to him deliberately mention the woman from before, as if to remind my mother of his vigorous performance in bed. This guy's nickname was "MILF Killer," and the number of mature married women he had seduced and ruined was countless. Naturally, he was an expert in wooing older women, and it was clear he had already set his sights on my mother as his next target.
Mom gave a charming smile. "What you say is true, but you should know, I'm not that kind of woman. And not to mention, you're just a half grown boy who hasn't matured yet. No matter how good your family is, you might just be wasting your time on me..."
Yao Liang laughed. "Of course I know. It's precisely because I know your character, Auntie Gu, that I've decided to give it a try. You know, a 20 year old man and a 40 year old woman are a perfect match. Our hormones and physiology are at their most compatible ages. You and I would be a perfect example of a 'cougar' relationship. Don't you want to give it a try, Auntie Gu?"
As he said "give it a try," he seemed to be showing off, subtly thrusting his hips forward. The movement wasn't exaggerated, but it carried an unmistakable undertone of sexual provocation.
Mom's eyes caught the movement, and she let out a bewitching laugh, her full, ample breasts swaying under her dress. "Hehehe, since you're so insistent, I suppose I can't argue with you. I can agree to let you pursue me, but it will depend on your performance. If you disappoint me and make me angry, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Mom said this with a coy laugh, her large, watery eyes fixed on Yao Liang. A hint of flirtatious charn, mixed with a trace of teasing and playfulness, flickered in her gaze.
I couldn't believe Mother had actually agreed to him?
I was shocked and furious, completely unable to take it anymore. I shot to my feet, grabbed Yao Liang's shoulder hard, and yelled, "Yao Liang, are you out of your mind? I thought of you as a brother! Mom watched you grow up! How could you... you... this is ridiculous!"
Consumed by rage, I couldn't think of a single elegant word to express my anger.
Before Yao Liang could speak, Mom's voice came from behind me, soft and chiding, "Xiao Bin! Stop it! How could you resort to violence!"
Hearing her, I released my grip on Yao Liang's shoulder and stood to the side, glaring. Mom said to me in a calm, gentle voice, "Xiao Bin, since Ah Liang says he wants to pursue me, although it's unbelievable, we can't be ungrateful. I know you're worried about me, but your mother isn't a fortress that can be easily conquered. Only the most exceptional of men could ever catch my eye. Let him have a taste of what it's like to be defeated by a mature woman, let him learn how complicated the adult world is. It might be a good thing, don't you think?"
With my mother saying that, I was left completely speechless. Just then, Yao Liang stood up and walked over to me, smiling. "Xiao Bin, Auntie Gu is single right now. I know it sounds absurd, but it's an open society. 'Cougar' relationships are very common these days. Besides, I'm only going to try to pursue your mom. It's not like she'll definitely accept me. You need to relax, you can't let this affect our friendship!"
I stood there like a statue. I couldn't believe he could say something so shameless, I didn't know what he was thinking. I couldn't say a word, I just watched as Mom gave him her phone number and they added each other on WeChat.
Suddenly, I felt a deep aversion to this apartment. I didn't want to spend another minute there. I quickly packed my things, and Mom and I left. On the way back, I was still filled with a lingering sense of displeasure and unease. Although Mom was humming a little tune, looking calm and confident, I couldn't shake a faint feeling of anxiety.
It wasn't until we were in the back seat of the car and Ah Hong started driving that I finally exploded, complaining to my mother about Yao Liang's usual outrageous behavior. But Mother just gave an elegant smile and tapped me lightly on the forehead with her finger. "Silly boy, are you jealous? Is that how little faith you have in your mother?"
Looking at her composed and confident face, I blurted out, "Of course I'm worried about you, Mom! You're single, and there's no way Yao Liang has good intentions..."
Mother gave a bewitching, enchanting smile and said to me slowly, "Xiao Bin, Xiao Liang is your friend after so many years. I don't want the two of you to have a falling out. The Yao family's influence in Jingzhou has been built over many years. Although he acts recklessly, he is their only son and the future heir. We should try to avoid unnecessary trouble. Besides, we do owe him a favor. That's why I agreed to him. It's a way of repaying the Yao family. Do you understand?"
"Don't you worry. He didn't make any particularly outrageous demands. It's just adding me on WeChat to chat. A greenhorn like Xiao Liang isn't even on your mother's radar. Don't you trust me?"
Hearing her words and seeing her enchanting, confident expression, all my anger instantly vanished.
