Chapter 563: Should I return it?

Chapter 563: Should I return it?

Night.

Dong Xuebing’s apartment.

Dong Xuebing stares at the lacy dark red underwear in his hands and doesn’t know what to say.

Underwear!

I saw the beautiful Mayor’s underwear again!

Damn! Do you have a grudge against me?!

Why are you always appearing in front of me?! You are getting me into trouble!

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. The first time he saw Geng Yuehua’s underwear was at her apartment. A gust of wind had blown it off the laundry rack and almost flew out of the window. He managed to save it with his quick reactions. The second time is in his apartment. Geng Yuehua has washed her underwear and hung it to dry in his bathroom. This is the third time. He never expected to see this pair of dark red underwear again, but it magically appeared. He wants to tear it into pieces!

Dong Xuebing is in a dilemma!

Why is this pair of underwear in the pocket?

Dong Xuebing threw the underwear on the bed and checked the pockets. He reached into another pocket and found an identity card belonging to a man with the surname Geng. He looks at the picture and knows this must be Geng Yuehua and Geng Xinke’s father. He had met him yesterday morning.

Identity card?

Underwear?

Why are all these in the pockets?

Dong Xuebing puts the identification card aside and closes his closet. He wiped his sweat and started thinking about what happened.

Geng Yuehua had a gas leak and stayed over at Dong Xuebing’s place that night. She washed her underwear, which was soiled by her shower gel, and hung it to dry. But the bathroom is damp, and it was not dry in the morning. The next morning, she borrowed a suit from him as her mother came over to pass her the spare keys. She must feel uncomfortable wearing a pair of damp underwear, and she kept it in the suit’s pocket. Her father must have asked her to do something and passed her his identification card in the morning. That’s why it is in the other pocket. She was rushing to get to work when she changed to her clothing and forgot about her underwear and identification card. She did not return last night and had forgotten about it.

This must be it!

Damn! What do I have to encounter this?

This is making me uncomfortable!

Dong Xuebing doesn’t know what to do. One must be damn lucky to pick up a beautiful District Mayor’s underwear, but it is unlucky for him!

Should I return it to her?

What will she think if I return her underwear? Will this leave a bad impression? It’s too embarrassing. But what will she think if I don’t return it? Oh, why are you keeping my underwear and not returning to me? What are you trying to do with it?!

Both options will get Dong Xuebing into trouble!

Furthermore, an important identification card is in the pocket, and Dong Xuebing cannot feign ignorance.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

Dong Xuebing ponders over this question. Returning or not returning will offend Geng Yuehua, and he had already offended her with ‘Woman at 40’ at the banquet. This will make things worse!

What should I do?

Dong Xuebing stares at the pair of underwear and punches it to vent his anger. You are just creating trouble for me. But he recalls Geng Yuehua has worn it yesterday morning, and he picks it up. It is too tempting and has a faint, mature woman’s smell. This is too hot. Who can imagine the beautiful Mayor likes to wear such sexy underwear?

Dong Xuebing had seen something he was not supposed to see!

The first pair of underwear Dong Xuebing saw at Geng Yuehua’s apartment is red, but it is not dark red and lacy like this pair. She should not know he had seen her underwear behind the bathroom door yesterday, and he must not let her know this time. Or else, it will be too embarrassing. This is the District Mayor’s secret, and he knows she will not be happy to let another person find out. This pair of sexy lacy underwear is different from the previous pair.

This pair is sexier and daring, and the previous pair is ******. Which woman will want to let others know about her secret?

Unlucky is the only word that can describe Dong Xuebing’s plight.

What should I do?

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s mobile phone rang.

Dong Xuebing got a shock and threw the underwear aside. He looks at his phone and quickly answers. “Hello.”

“I am Geng Yuehua.” She replied.

Dong Xuebing forced a laugh. “Yes… do you have any orders for me?”

“……” Geng Yuehua kept quiet for a few seconds.

“Mayor Geng?”

“… have you brought the suit to the laundry?”

Dong Xuebing knew Geng Yuehua had remembered about her underwear and quickly replied. “Not yet. I kept it in the closet after I reached home. It’s too late now. I will bring it tomorrow.” He is implying to Geng Yuehua that he had not discovered the items in the pockets. “Err… what is it?”

“I forgot to take out some things from the pockets.”

“Ah? There’s something in the pockets? I did not notice it.” Dong Xuebing pretends not to know anything. “Then… I will check the pockets later. Do you want me to send it over, or are you coming over to get it?” He immediately regrets saying this. If he brings the underwear over, Geng Yuehua will know he has seen her sexy underwear. That’s why he asked this question, hoping she could come over to get it herself. He can put back the underwear into the pocket and pretends not to know about it. But he is giving himself away by asking that question. Geng Yuehua is smart, and she can sense it.

There was a pause again.

One second….

Two seconds….

“……. I will not go over. Bring it to me. That’s it.”

Du… du… du…. Geng Yuehua hangs up.

Dong Xuebing is speechless. Damn! You want me to bring it over?! This might be fine for the identification card, but the underwear…. Why don’t you come over to get it yourself!?

F**k!

Dong Xuebing knows Geng Yuehua knew he must have seen that pair of underwear. To see it, he must have taken it out of the pocket and touched it. So, it makes no difference with her coming to collect it or Dong Xuebing sending it to her. But Dong Xuebing doesn’t want to send it to her. There’s still a great difference between it is made known to both. If Geng Yuehua comes to collect it from the pockets, Dong Xuebing can pretend not to know anything and not be awkward. If he sends it to her, she might felt uncomfortable, and who knows if she will make things difficult for him in the future?

This is a woman’s item, and it is still sexy lacy underwear.

Could it be the beautiful District Mayor has a grudge against him, and she has no intentions of letting him off? Or does she not like to pretend, and she likes to settle problems directly? It might be too embarrassing for her to try to cover up, and might as well let him send it over to show that she doesn’t mind?

No matter what Geng Yuehua is thinking, Dong Xuebing is in trouble. He could not avoid it as she had spoken!

What should I do?

Return it!

Dong Xuebing found a plastic bag and stuffed the red underwear and Geng Yuehua’s father’s identification card into it. He sighed and went opposite to knock on her door.

Knock, knock.

Geng Yuehua opens the door and looks at him without saying anything.

Dong Xuebing quickly pass the plastic bag to her. “Everything is inside. I…”

Geng Yuehua took the plastic bag from him. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” Dong Xuebing blushed. “Err… do you have any other instructions for me?”

It is an awkward situation.

Geng Yuehua looks at Dong Xuebing into his eyes. “… no.” After that, she returns to her apartment and closes the door behind her.

Dong Xuebing returned to his apartment and sighed. He wonders if Mayor Geng is angry with him.

Underwear… why are you keep causing trouble for me?!

Am I fated with you? Stop torturing me!

Translator’s notes: This author is obsessed with underwear and stockings. Lol, the whole chapter is just about a pair of dark red lacy underwear.
