Tang Zehua slammed his hand on the coffee table, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Someone else is coming over later to discuss business. You'd better go back now and not cause any trouble!"
The girl glanced at it and sneered.
She had always considered herself a somewhat careless person, not exactly meticulous. But even she could spot the flaws in her father's words at this moment.
Tang Qi pointed to the wine glasses on the coffee table and questioned, "The business people haven't even arrived yet, and you've already started drinking?"
Tang Zehua was speechless.
The girl mustered her courage, walked to Lu Zhe's side, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him to his feet.
Tang Zehua slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, shouting, "What do you want to do!"
Tang Qi instinctively shrank back, but then, a surge of anger made her breathing heavy, and her timid habits crumbled. She glared back defiantly, refusing to back down.
At this moment, Lu Zhe suddenly cleared his throat and took something out of his pocket.
"Chairman, you told me before that I should think it over carefully, and yes, I have. Here is my resignation letter."
Tang Zehua opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Lu Zhe pried open the small hand that was holding his wrist, and then pulled the girl next to him into his arms.
He laughed and said, "To be honest, Mr. Tang, I still prefer your daughter to you."
Tang Zehua pointed at the two of them, his arm trembling: "When...did you......"
Lu Zhe: "From the first day I met her. Sorry, I've always liked petite and cute girls."
When those unrestrained words rang out, Tang Qi couldn't help but look at the boy who was hugging her. Because she was shorter than him and the distance was very close, she was naturally looking up at him. So, in the girl's eyes, the first thing she saw was his well-defined jawline—it looked particularly masculine.
Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth curling up in a haughty and unrestrained smile.
Tang Qi stared at his face, somewhat mesmerized.
Tang Zehua's face was extremely gloomy: "So you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?"
Before Lu Zhe could speak, Tang Qi interrupted, "As for the penalty drink, I'll drink it with him!"
"You guys are eating shit!"
Tang Zehua picked up the wine glass and slammed it against the corner of the wall.
A loud bang rang in the girl's ears, as if it weren't the sound of a glass shattering, but rather a thunderclap...
etc?
etc!
In a daze, Tang Qi opened her eyes, only to see a dimly lit ceiling. Neither her father nor the boy she liked were there. And she was still lying down.
She quickly sat up and realized she was in her familiar bed. Outside the window, the rain was drizzling down.
"Was it all a dream..." Tang Qi murmured to herself, a tear welling up in her big eyes.
She felt like crying.
In her dream, she recalled the memories she had spent with that guy. After arguing with her father, the two young people ran out of the villa, laughing and joking in the streets, spending the night playing games at an internet cafe, and refusing to answer any phone calls.
Then, the two boarded a train and headed straight for Chengdu.
All thoughts of the company, the job, and even her father's scolding were forgotten.
The year that followed was the most financially strained period of Tang Qi's life, because her father cut off her financial support. But on the other hand, it was also the happiest period of her life, because she and Lu Zhe began living together.
A year later, the father finally gave in, and life became more comfortable, even carefree.
But now, everything in the dream has shattered. Those once so reassuring memories have now become nothing but a fleeting illusion…
A bright light flashed outside, followed by a loud bang.
It thundered.
Tang Qi was startled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
On rainy days, especially during thunderstorms, she loved to snuggle in that warm, reliable embrace. But now, where was that bastard?
She finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"To hell with your alliance, to hell with your... I don't care!"
Tang Qi threw off the covers, rolled out of bed, and rushed out of her bedroom barefoot without even putting on slippers.
She didn't even bother to wipe away her tears or check the time; she rushed straight to Lu Zhe's bedroom door, pushed it open, and barged inside.
The girl pounced onto the bed.
Through the thin sheet, she could feel herself pressing down on him.
The lights inside were off, of course, but the light from the streetlights outside was enough for her to see everything up close. She saw Lu Zhe open his eyes in terror.
"Holy crap, sleep paralysis... Wait, Tang Qi! What are you doing?"
Lu Zhe looked bewildered.
The girl cupped his face in her hands and kissed him deeply.
Lu Zhe: "Ugh...uh...um..."
The words she wanted to ask were all silenced by her delicate, flower-like lips.
