The Crybaby Mistress GL - Chapter 6

Luo Jing had never imagined that becoming a kept mistress would lead to such a luxurious lifestyle.

After Assistant Li picked her up and she got into the black sedan, Luo Jing was surrounded by such upscale furnishings that she did not dare touch anything. She feared damaging something far beyond her ability to replace. Ever since she had arrived in the city, she had relied entirely on public transportation. She had taken only buses and trains, never even riding in a taxi. In the sedan, she sat upright with her hands placed carefully on her knees, unsure of how to act.

The clothes she was wearing were also expensive designer pieces. The outfit Chen Xin had sent her was surprisingly modest. It consisted of a knee-length dress worn over thick stockings. The ensemble gave Luo Jing, a girl from the countryside, the appearance of a refined young lady from a wealthy family.

The car drove only a short distance before Luo Jing was taken to an upscale residential complex where access was restricted by a keycard system. Assistant Li led the way to a high floor, and Luo Jing followed closely behind, still uncertain about who she was going to meet or what was expected of her.

The apartment was far beyond anything Luo Jing had ever imagined. Each floor had only one unit, and residents could only access their designated level with a personal keycard. Downstairs, the security guards were not elderly men sitting idly at a gate. They were dressed in professional suits, and visible patrols were taking place throughout the building.

Once they arrived at the apartment, Assistant Li handed Luo Jing a keycard and a set of keys. She instructed calmly, “This is the residence Ms. Chen arranged for you. You will live here for the next year.”

Luo Jing was startled and did not dare accept them. She held her hands up to her chest and waved them in refusal. “No, I can’t take these. I already live in the dormitory at school.”

Her dormitory was modest, but it was part of her student life. Moving into such a luxurious place seemed inconceivable.

Assistant Li adjusted her glasses and placed both the card and the keys firmly on the table. “This is Ms. Chen’s instruction. If you have other plans, you will need to speak with her directly.”

She also took out a mobile phone and a card, placing them beside the keys. These were prepared specifically for Luo Jing. “Ms. Chen’s number is saved in the phone. You may contact her directly but be mindful of her working hours. This card is for your personal use. Ms. Chen will cover all charges.”

Her words carried an unspoken warning. The card had no spending limit, but Chen Xin would know every purchase. Luo Jing needed to understand that wasteful spending could upset her sponsor.

Luo Jing stared at the card. She had already received one million yuan. Why was she being given more?

Assistant Li noticed the expression in her eyes and interpreted it as greed. Luo Jing’s gaze had not left the gold card. This impression lowered Assistant Li’s opinion of her even further. She did not want to stay any longer and quickly said, “You may manage things as you wish. If you need to go anywhere, contact the driver directly. I have other matters to attend to.”

Her tone was brisk and impatient. Luo Jing wanted to ask when Chen Xin would finish work but did not dare speak up. She silently watched Assistant Li walk away, feeling the cold sting of judgment. Although her eyes brimmed with emotion, she managed to hold back the tears. She had chosen this path herself. She could not blame anyone else for looking down on her.

It was just past noon. Luo Jing guessed Chen Xin must be having lunch, so she hesitated before picking up the phone and dialing the number labeled Ms. Chen.

“Hello? Missing me already?” Chen Xin was indeed having lunch. When she saw the caller ID showing Little Crybaby, she smiled. She had not expected Luo Jing to call her so soon.

The teasing caught Luo Jing off guard. For a moment, she was at a loss for words. Chen Xin continued, “Have you arrived at the apartment? Do you like what I arranged for you?”

“Ah, yes Ms. Chen. I actually wanted to speak with you about that,” Luo Jing replied, quickly following the conversation.

Before she could continue, Chen Xin interrupted. “Don’t call me Ms. Chen. That sounds too formal. Use something else.”

Luo Jing paused. Chen Xin continued eating, clearly relaxed. Even without seeing her, Luo Jing could imagine her composed demeanor. On the other end of the call, Chen Xin waited with amusement, curious about what Luo Jing would choose.

“Then… may I call you President Chen?” Luo Jing asked cautiously. After a moment, she repeated the title softly, “President Chen?”

The sound of that made something stir inside Chen Xin again. Unable to resist the impulse, and seeing that no one else was around, she switched to video call. Luo Jing answered, and as expected, she was already inside the apartment.

“President Chen?” Luo Jing was confused by the switch to video. She did not realize that Chen Xin simply wanted to see her reaction.

“What did you want to say? Go ahead,” Chen Xin asked, clearly accepting the new title. Hearing Luo Jing call her that with such a soft, gentle voice had a strangely tender effect. No one else could make it sound quite the same.

Luo Jing took a breath and explained her concern. “I already have a dormitory. I think I should keep living at school.”

Chen Xin chuckled. “You don’t like the apartment? Would you prefer a different place? I can arrange something else.”

Luo Jing quickly shook her head. “It’s not that. I just…”

Chen Xin cut her off with a calm tone. “If you like it, then stay. Be good. I will be very busy for a few days, so I may not be able to visit right away. Wait for me and call me every day.”

Luo Jing noticed that the conversation had gone in a different direction. She tried again to explain. This place was too luxurious for her. She had already taken one million yuan. Moving in felt excessive.

She did not know that wealthy sponsors often preferred things this way. They liked the idea of having someone tucked away in comfort. The apartment had always been available, and Chen Xin had used it whenever she stayed in City B. It was convenient and required no extra effort.

Chen Xin could tell from Luo Jing’s behavior that she was completely inexperienced in this type of arrangement. Her innocence made Chen Xin feel unexpectedly entertained.

With a teasing tone, she said, “You’re not expecting me to come visit you at the dorm, are you? Doing something there might actually be fun. If that’s what you like, we could give it a try.”

Luo Jing was so shocked that her mouth fell open. “No! Absolutely not! I’ll stay here!”

In the past, she might have brushed off that kind of talk as a joke. But Chen Xin was different. She was the kind of person who had fought her husband over a mistress and spent a million yuan without hesitation. Luo Jing feared she might act on such whims.

Her flustered reaction made Chen Xin laugh for quite a while. She teased her a few more times before ending the call. With a shake of her head, she sighed.

So this is what it feels like to keep a mistress. It is surprisingly enjoyable.

Meanwhile, Assistant Li, who should have returned to the company, was still standing outside the apartment complex. She was on the phone, reporting every detail of what had just happened to a woman on the other end of the line.

The woman appeared to be in her fifties, though her careful grooming made her look younger. As she applied nail polish, she listened with a serious expression. After a moment of silence, she replied, “I understand. Keep me informed if anything else comes up.”

Chen Xin: There is always a way to make you accept it willingly.
