Cheating Notes
Gong Li is the triad boss' mistress but she is having an affair with the boss' right-hand man, Song. One night, she silently unlocks the doors and the gate to her affluent home (provided by the boss, of course) so that Song can enter without being noticed by her servants. Song, carrying his shoes so he won't make a noise, enters her home and her bedroom. They share a laugh. He kisses her on the neck. She lies down on the bed followed by him and they probably have sex after that, but it is not shown.
You come to Shanghai Triad for a good movie, and not for it's erotic value.
