Seeing Qi Zhifang's distracted look, Xiao Dai smiled, stared at the lunchbox that seemed out of place in the office, and let out a soft laugh. That laugh hit Qi Zhifang's heart like a rolling stone, and she had an urge to run away. In the last second before she couldn't take it anymore and was about to run, Xiao Dai opened her handkerchief, gently lifted the lid of the lunchbox, and stared blankly at the four buns lying quietly inside.
Qi Zhifang hurriedly closed the lunchbox lid, her lips moving slightly as she said, "I'm sorry to bother you. I was overestimating myself."
Before she could even wrap her handkerchief properly, she was about to run away when Xiao Dai grabbed Qi Zhifang's hand and asked, "Sister Fangzi, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Zhifang looked at Xiao Dai's slender, fair hands, just as she remembered—strong and warm. So many nights, it was these hands, so gentle and understanding, that had brought her unprecedented joy. They had promised to hold hands and grow old together, but now her own hands were like those of an old person—dry, withered, and spotted. The contrast made her feel instantly aged. She pushed Xiao Dai away and ran, crying as she went!
Everything has changed! I'm not myself anymore. "How did you get so old?"
"Auntie, who are you looking for?" "Auntie, you should let me know beforehand so I can make an appointment for you. Our General Manager Dai is very busy; he needs to schedule time to meet with clients." "General Manager Dai! Auntie Qi is here!"
Wei Shuqing's words to Sun Yan, along with her expression at the time, seemed to have a magical quality, echoing in her mind like a sonic spell!
In a daze, she rushed into the street, yelling, "You old hag! Are you looking for trouble?! Can't you watch where you're going?!" Qi Zhifang almost bumped into a middle-aged man riding a bicycle. "Try cursing her again!"
Qi Zhifang then realized that at the crucial moment, it was Xiao Dai who had pulled her back, and she was still in Xiao Dai's arms.
Seeing Xiao Dai's outstanding attire and extraordinary demeanor, he didn't dare to curse anymore, spat, and rode away on his bicycle.
Qi Zhifang tried to push Xiao Dai away, shouting, "Let me go! Let me go! Why did you save me? Why did you save me?!" Xiao Dai ignored her struggles and forcefully dragged her towards the office, half-dragging and half-carrying her.
The two looked like mother and son, and no one paid any attention, assuming it was just a family dispute. When they arrived at the office, Xiao Dai dragged Qi Zhifang to the sofa, where she collapsed and began to sob uncontrollably.
The more she cried, the more heartbroken she became. Xiao Dai had changed too. Before, he would feel sorry for her if she even frowned, but now that she was crying her heart out, he was unmoved! That's men for you, their hearts are as hard as iron!
