"..."
Who was it that was all tears and grime one second, and then suddenly became greedy for money the next?
Ah! Women!
"Ahem!" Qi Yue cleared his throat. "Someone will be talking to you about your salary later. I hope it will satisfy you."
"It's alright, I'm easy to please!" Linghu Lan raised her long eyebrows, exuding confidence and nonchalance.
#The system, hiding behind the scenes and secretly complaining: Heh, you'd be a fool to believe that. →_→#
Human Resources Department.
Linghu Lan walked out the door with a smile.
Qi Yue, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly hung up the phone and looked at Linghu Lan with a strange expression.
Who said they were easy to please, but ended up getting the highest salary ever paid to any superpowered person?
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
"Ahem! Thankfully, the salary negotiation went well?"
"It's barely enough! After all, I was once the richest woman in the world, and I'm never short of money in any dimension. This little bit of money... sigh, it still makes me unable to forget my materialistic nature!" My imagination will be limited by poverty for a very, very long time.
Qi Yue: "..."
Can we still have a pleasant chat?
The nano was released.
Linghu Lan glanced back at the floor where Mo Tang was, and felt as if a needle had pricked her heart.
She dared not look any longer, refused Qi Yue's offer to take her home, hailed a taxi, and quickly left the place that made her soul uneasy.
Ink Tang!
Wait for me.
Wait for me to pick you up and take you home.
...
office.
Xia Mingyuan was somewhat uneasy.
In fact, ever since Tang Xinyou called to tell him that Linghu Lan had woken up, he had been feeling uneasy, as if there was a time bomb about to explode.
He knew Linghu Lan far better than Tang Xinyou did: Linghu Lan seemed like an ordinary girl, but she was peaceful, cheerful, and patient. After experiencing the influence of society, Xia Mingyuan had long known the value of these qualities. On the contrary, he and Tang Xinyou were restless people who couldn't calm down.
After being freed from Tang Xinyou's poison, he thought back on his time with Linghu Lan and asked himself: who would he choose between Linghu Lan and Tang Xinyou?
He dared not think about it too much. He knew that even if he could do it all over again, he would still make the same mistakes and still succumb to Tang Xinyou's temptations.
Yes!
It is temptation.
Linghu Lan is like a home-cooked dish—it goes well with rice, fills you up, and makes life comfortable. Tang Xinyou is like a delicate and delicious dessert—pleasing to the eye and perfect for showing off.
Unfortunately, neither of them was perfect. Linghu Lan had a heart condition, and Tang Xinyou was too ambitious; neither was a good match for him.
Actually, it's better that we broke up.
To save him the trouble.
These days, Xia Mingyuan comforted himself in this way, slowly eliminating the trace of guilt he felt towards Linghu Lan, and continued his ordinary life.
In fact, after Linghu Lan fell into a coma, his life was hardly affected at all. After graduation, he went to get off work and came home, living like an ordinary person, leading a simple but fulfilling life. Linghu Lan had been placed in a corner of his deepest memory, covered in dust and mold. It was Tang Xinyou who forcibly dragged Linghu Lan in front of him. Otherwise, he would have forgotten that he had such a sordid past of two-timing.
He breathed a sigh of relief after comforting himself.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, I casually started browsing the web and reading the news. But when I started, I froze, as if someone had struck my pressure point, and I couldn't move.
