"This dress is very beautiful and suits you well," said Zuo Qinghuan as she picked up the dress from the hanger and tried it on Li Xin.
"It does look beautiful, and I also feel it suits me. Let me try it on inside," Li Xin said as she took the dress and headed towards the fitting room. They were probably birds of a feather, sharing common interests and careers, seducing rich people, and being their mistresses. The difference was that Li Xin was involved with a married woman, while Zuo Qinghuan was involved with a married man.
Zuo Qinghuan continued to browse clothes, and when she looked up, she noticed that Li Xin had already finished trying on the clothes and come out. Indeed, they suited her perfectly. Her back view was truly flawless, with those slender and beautiful legs that were simply impeccable. The alluring curve of her back was captivating. Zuo Qinghuan suddenly felt the urge to play a prank on Li Xin. She quietly approached her from behind and suddenly embraced her, running her hand up her thigh playfully, and jokingly said, "You're so beautiful. Maybe one day I'll switch to liking women too..."
The woman seemed startled and her body tensed up. She instinctively wanted to push away the person embracing her, but soon realized that it was another woman. So, Qin Wanshu suppressed the urge to throw Zuo Qinghuan over her shoulder, turned around, and looked at Zuo Qinghuan with displeasure.
Zuo Qinghuan looked at the woman and realized she was not Li Xin. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she met the woman's gaze and found her face somewhat familiar. Zuo Qinghuan searched her memory and then froze there.
At that moment, Li Xin came out of the fitting room and saw Zuo Qinghuan hugging a woman who was dressed exactly like her. Zuo Qinghuan's hand was even placed on the woman's thigh, and she seemed to be in a daze. The situation was incredibly bizarre, and the woman being hugged by Zuo Qinghuan was undeniably stunning. Li Xin thought highly of her own appearance and considered herself and Zuo Qinghuan to be exceptional beauties, but this woman seemed to effortlessly match or even surpass them both in beauty and elegance. Such women with both stunning looks and charm were hard to come by. If Li Xin didn't have a preference for women and admired them with an appreciative eye, she might have felt jealous.
Qin Wanshu saw Li Xin and had a rough idea of what was happening, but this impulsive woman, shouldn't she release her hold now instead of being lost in thought? The woman's hand was placed on Qin Wanshu's thigh, and the warm touch made Qin Wanshu subtly uncomfortable.
"Miss, can you..." Qin Wanshu looked at Zuo Qinghuan and the meaning of reminder was quite clear.
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else..." Zuo Qinghuan smiled awkwardly and quickly released Qin Wanshu.
"It's okay." Qin Wanshu smiled faintly and then turned to enter the fitting room to change her clothes.
"You looked stunned when you saw her just now. Do you have a crush on her?" Li Xin teased.
"The photo is beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be even more beautiful in person," Zuo Qinghuan said sincerely, feeling that the woman had a charm that she had never encountered before.
"You know her?" Li Xin asked in surprise.
At that moment, Qin Wanshu stepped out of the changing room, and Zuo Qinghuan met her gaze. Unlike the previous awkwardness, Zuo Qinghuan smiled at Qin Wanshu and didn't answer Li Xin's question.
Qin Wanshu felt that there was meaning behind the eyes of this rash woman. Did she know her? Clearly, she didn't recognize her. Qin Wanshu responded with a polite smile, then took out her credit card from her wallet and handed it to the service staff. During this process, she could feel the two women still looking at her, but Qin Wanshu remained calm and composed as she paid with her card and walked away.
"How do you know her?" Li Xin's curiosity was piqued. Qin Wanshu looked completely different from Zuo Qinghuan, and Li Xin was well aware that no matter how many luxury brands she and Zuo Qinghuan wore, their essence couldn't be changed. But Qin Wanshu was different; at first glance, she seemed to be from a different social class, giving the impression of a class difference.
"I don't know her, but I know her husband. She is the wife of my benefactor." Zuo Qinghuan said softly, watching the woman's figure fade into the distance.

Li Xin was taken aback, her mouth wide open. "Aren't you jealous?" Li Xin knew that when she saw her woman's husband, she wanted nothing more than to kick the guy's bloodline off.
She liked Han Shibin, but she liked his money even more. She loved both Han Shibin as a person and his wealth. She believed that most women would also like Han Shibin, but she loved herself the most.
Zuo Qinghuan smiled indifferently, "If I were to be jealous, then the woman next to Han Shibin would not be me."
"You heartless woman!" Li Xin said with disdain, but deep inside, she couldn't help but feel envious. Emotionless people were the real winners, and she felt like she had lost completely. That woman could be pampered like a canary, but she would never give up anything for herself.
Zuo Qinghuan didn't respond. In a way, she did consider herself heartless.
"That woman is a top-tier beauty, why would Han Shibin still want to go out to eat wild food?"Li Xin asked with confusion.
"I have no idea. As far as I know, Han Shibin is truly in love with that woman named Qin Wanshu." Zuo Qinghuan shrugged and raised her hands. They had been together for three years, and she wondered if Qin Wanshu had noticed in the slightest.
"Truly love that woman but still go out to eat wild food, men either truly despicable or that woman..." Li Xin said, smiling slyly as she looked at Zuo Qinghuan.
"Mm?" Zuo Qinghuan raised an eyebrow as she looked at Li Xin. To be honest, she was also puzzled by Han Shibin's mindset. She might even know better than Qin Wanshu how much Han Shibin cared for her. However, loving someone and keeping a woman outside in secret, Zuo Qinghuan couldn't agree with that kind of love.
"Could that woman be sexually frigid?" Li Xin laughed even more obscenely.
"Sexually—frigid..." Zuo Qinghuan repeated softly. When she thought about it, there might be a slight possibility. However, she didn't really want to associate Qin Wanshu with frigidity. After all, in Han Shibin's heart, Qin Wanshu was a sacred woman. But with that woman's figure, beautiful face, and pleasant scent, it would be a shame if she were frigid. Zuo Qinghuan suddenly realized that her thoughts were becoming as lewd as Li Xin's.
Li Xin has the typical appearance of a mistress, with a face that proclaims to the world, "I am a mistress." At first glance, she doesn't resemble a virtuous wife. With seductive eyes slightly raised at the corners, a voluptuous figure, and revealing clothing, when she walks outside, nine out of ten men would want to keep her as their mistress. Li Xin detests a group of lecherous men who constantly stare at her with lustful eyes like flies fixated on feces.
Since childhood, Li Xin has always had a preference for women. In kindergarten, she liked the little girl sitting next to her. In primary school, she had a crush on the female class monitor. In middle school, she admired her female seniors. In college, she developed feelings for a female teacher. After graduating from college, she became someone's mistress. Li Xin's love history has been tumultuous, falling in love quickly and leaving just as fast. Her relationships usually lasted no more than six months. However, this time was different. It has been a full five years, and she is still content being a woman's mistress. Li Xin feels that this time she has truly fallen into the woman's hands and will never be able to turn the tables again.
Zuo Qinghuan is different; she possesses an otherworldly beauty, resembling Duan Yu's fairy elder sister*. To those who don't know her, she may appear like a saint, brimming with love and compassion. But who could have imagined that behind her seemingly pure and aloof demeanor, Zuo Qinghuan is, in fact, a mistress with a heart of a wolf and a dog, never parting with a single penny for charity. Her favorite scenes to watch in dramas are those where malicious mothers-in-law oppress and torment their daughters-in-law or scenes similar to Rong MaMa pricking Zi Wei with a needle**. Such scenes give her immense satisfaction.
*Duan Yu's fairy elder sister is a character named Wang Yuyan (王语嫣) in the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." She is known for her exceptional beauty and intelligence.
**Rong Mama and Zi Wei are characters from the Chinese TV drama "My Fair Princess" there was an iconic interrogation scene where Rong Mama pricked Zi Wei with an acupuncture needle
When they are together, they often pass the time watching movies. Usually, Li Xin becomes deeply moved and sheds tears, while Zuo Qinghuan finds amusement in it. Both being mistresses, occasionally receiving affection, they have plenty of time to go shopping, get beauty treatments, and do their nails. When they feel bored, they watch movies or soap operas together.
Zuo Qinghuan never talked about Zuo Qinghuan's past, and Li Xin never asked about it. If a person doesn't talk about her past, there must be something hard to tell. Li Xin understands this truth.
