Later, I heard that many civil servants and wealthy families in my hometown wanted to find wives with high levels of education. Zhang Guahua had been shrewd all her life, so she naturally knew how to maximize her benefits.
However, later on, girls around Qiu Mang's age all went out to work and sent money home every month. Zhang Guihua would sometimes grumble about it when she saw this.
Zhang Guihua only felt somewhat at peace after Qiu Mang gave her the scholarship and grant, keeping only a few hundred yuan for living expenses for himself.
Later, when she heard that Zhao Gang was willing to spend 500,000 yuan to marry Qiu Mang, she was completely stunned.
She originally thought that her eldest daughter Qiu Dao's dowry of 200,000 yuan was already the highest in the area, but she never expected that knowledge would change the fate of the Qiu family.
Qiu Mang obeyed her mother's wishes her whole life. At first, Qiu Mang did not intend to resist the marriage. She was used to seeing the girls around her living their lives in an orderly manner and felt that she would live like that sooner or later, so it didn't matter who she lived with.
If it weren't for her physical aversion to Zhao Gang, she would still be like the girls in her hometown, obediently following her family's arrangements and earning dowry money for her brother.
She had been docile for over twenty years, and when she finally said "no," even she was shocked.
However, after listening to her heart and starting to rebel, she felt as if she had found a new direction, and this feeling was not bad.
However, the thought of her little Qiu Li, who always followed her around at home, made her burst into tears again.
"You cried?" The man pursed his lips, looked at her, and casually handed her a tissue.
Qiu Mang reached out and took the tissue to wipe her tears, but she couldn't dry them no matter what she did.
Lu Yanting stood up, his brows furrowed slightly. He paced anxiously around the room, having no experience in coaxing girls and unsure of what to do in this situation.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yanting thought, "Isn't she short of money? Then I'll give her the money." He picked up his phone and transferred 20,000 yuan to Qiu Mang. "You...you don't need to cry, I've transferred 20,000 yuan to you!"
The girl was a little dumbfounded, staring blankly at him. When she was a child, if she cried, her mother would only tell her to hold back her tears. If the tears fell, she would be beaten severely.
This was the first time someone had seen her cry and was willing to offer her money to comfort her. Her heart felt a warm, spring-like comfort, though her eyes were red and swollen. She looked like a soft, cuddly rabbit, making one want to gently squeeze and cuddle her.
Lu Yanting couldn't stand her gaze, so he turned his face away. "It's alright as long as you're not crying. Go to sleep! Call me if you need anything!"
In the middle of the night, Qiu Mang was in a deep sleep when she felt unusually hot and extremely thirsty. She got out of bed, took a cup, and went to the living room to drink some water.
After drinking the water, she returned to her room, still somewhat dazed.
Lu Yanting was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt the mattress next to him sink slightly.
The next second, he caught a faint fragrance from the girl. Lu Yanting slowly opened his eyes and, by the moonlight streaming in from the window, saw the girl lying beside him with her eyes closed.
The man was slightly taken aback and was about to wake her up when the girl put one leg on his waist and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, forming a bear hug.
Lu Yanting froze instantly, too afraid to move, while the girl remained completely unaware that she had entered the wrong room.
Perhaps finding the embrace extremely comfortable, Qiu Mang involuntarily snuggled into the man's arms, instantly closing the distance between them to almost nothing.
Lu Yanting felt his heart suddenly race. He tried to control his emotions and gently pushed Qiu Mang away.
However, Qiu Mang hugged her even tighter, muttering some indistinct words.
Even through the thin fabric, Lu Yanting could feel the warmth emanating from the girl's body and the softness of her breasts. His throat bobbed slightly, and he unconsciously cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"
The girl was completely unaware that she was starting a fire, and unconsciously rubbed her cheek against the man's chest.
The man's robe was loose, and the large, firm muscles on his chest seemed to be scorched by fire when she rubbed against them.
Lu Yanting could no longer restrain himself and lowered his head to kiss her cherry-pink lips.
The girl, with her eyes closed, was startled by the sudden kiss and then instinctively responded to it in her dazed state.
Lu Yanting was so provoked by her response that his rationality was on the verge of collapse, and the flames in his heart burned fiercely.
His kisses grew increasingly passionate and tender, as if he wanted to possess all of Qiu Mang's beauty for himself.
Outside the window, the night was deep. Tonight, Qiu Mang had a long dream, an extremely happy and beautiful dream.
The next day, sunlight quietly shone through the gap in the curtains. Qiu Mang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was startled by the scene before her as soon as she opened her eyes.
The first thing you see is the man's sexy Adam's apple, which moves slightly up and down with his breathing.
The gaze slowly descends to the man's bare chest. The man's chest is strong and powerful, looking like a solid wall, exuding a reassuring aura.
However, a few red marks were faintly visible on his chest, and Qiu Mang's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
She stared blankly at the scene before her, her mind a complete blank. She tried to recall what had happened last night, and those ambiguous images kept flashing through her mind like movie clips, making her heart beat faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
She thought she had just been having a wet dream all night, but it turned out to be real!
She moved slightly, trying to quietly get up and escape this incredibly embarrassing scene.
However, as soon as she moved, Lu Yanting noticed. The man slightly opened his eyes, his gaze still carrying a hint of languor and tenderness from just waking up.
"morning."
His voice was deep and magnetic, making it even more sensual in this ambiguous atmosphere.
Qiu Mang was even more embarrassed. "You! Who let you sneak into my room?"
Lu Yanting's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile.
"Last night...don't you remember? You were the one who threw yourself at me, and I kindly served you all night. And when you woke up, you came to question me. Miss, do you have any conscience at all?" He teased her deliberately, his eyes full of mockery.
Qiu Mang bit her lip, about to retort, but realized that this was indeed not her room. Not knowing how to answer, her eyes darted around, but she dared not look at Lu Yanting.
"Could it be that you felt uneasy about receiving the 20,000 yuan yesterday, so you wanted to use your body to pay off the debt?" The man squinted at her and teased.
"I didn't!" Qiu Mang gritted her teeth. This man, he got the benefit and then acted innocent!
"Anyway, you have needs too, and besides, we're quite compatible. How about you reconsider your previous suggestion?"
Lu Yanting leaned against the headboard with his upper body half-naked, his broad shoulders and chest muscles fully exposed, looking both roguish and seductive.
