After Kissing My Ex-Boyfriend's Mom

A younger woman with a strong sense of self-worth x an older woman with deep insecurities

1.

Chi Ziyan was dumped by her boyfriend of six months, with a reason as clichéd as a prime-time soap opera: "We're not right for each other."

As the heiress of Jiangcheng's richest family, she was top-notch in looks, family background, and ability. She had always been the one to dump people. How could someone dump her?

She wouldn't let herself be the one to suffer. Out with the old, in with the new. She couldn't wait a minute, and decided to find someone else.

She spent the night partying at a bar.

When she came to, her friend called her.

"Ziyan, do you remember what happened last night?"

Chi Ziyan's head was pounding, and she couldn't remember a thing. "I drank, I danced, and then what?"

"You kissed a woman."

Chi Ziyan was stunned. "A-a-a woman?"

Her friend said, "Yeah. You pulled her onto your lap and kissed her like the world had disappeared."

"Wait," Chi Ziyan interrupted. "Did I open my mouth?"

Her friend raised her voice. "You did a lot more than open your mouth."

What her friend said next left Chi Ziyan, who had been straight for twenty-four years, on the verge of tears.

The straight girl's world had collapsed.

The next day, Ding Qian came to ask her to get back together.

Chi Ziyan had planned to refuse outright, but she was a vengeful person and wanted to mess with him for once. So she deliberately gave him an ambiguous answer and said she would think about it.

Ding Qian invited her to his home that evening to meet his mother properly.

Chi Ziyan agreed.

And that's when things got dramatic.

The door opened. Their eyes met. Chi Ziyan's mind went blank as she looked at the woman's red lips, and every detail of their passionate kiss the night before came rushing back.

The woman was startled too.

But she quickly composed herself, pretended this was their first meeting, and politely held out her hand to Chi Ziyan. In a gentle voice, she said, "Hello, Ziyan. I'm Xiaoqian's mother."

"Your future mother-in-law."

As time went by, Chi Ziyan noticed that Zhou Shengci was strange. She was always looking at her with a forlorn expression.

As if Chi Ziyan had once wronged her.

They'd only kissed once. Was that really such a big deal?

This went on for a long time.

Zhou Shengci's strange behavior kept escalating. Chi Ziyan always felt that she seemed to be subtly seducing her, yet also seemed to be avoiding her.

Then one day, while Chi Ziyan and Ding Qian were in the study, they heard Zhou Shengci's voice from the bathroom.

"Ziyan, could you pass me the shower gel? This bottle is empty."

As Chi Ziyan reached the bathroom door, a hand hooked around her neck. Before she could react, she was pulled into the bathroom amid a stifled sob.

Through the misty steam, Zhou Shengci looked at her sadly. "An old woman like me can't fascinate you the way Xiaoqian does, can I?"

[The older woman falls first; the older woman pursues the younger woman]

[The older woman struggles to restrain herself, yet can't help seducing the younger woman. She feels guilty and remorseful, yet actively tempts her.]

Reader's Guide:

1. 24 x 46. They are not both inexperienced: the older woman has been married, and the younger woman has dated men, so this is categorized under the diverse channel.

2. The younger woman and the older woman's son have hugged and held hands. Nothing else happened.
