Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 142

Sun Weiqi had always been confident. As the leader among the second and third-generation elites, he was often seen as the “model child” others admired and praised for his excellence.

In the whole capital, finding someone better than him wasn’t impossible, but it certainly wasn’t easy.

But what if Lin Mengting’s family disliked his job, which kept him away in dangerous places, rarely home to provide her with a sense of security?

After all, there were a few guys in their circle who could fake being “gentle and elegant,” appearing to be the perfect gentlemen. These men, either in politics or business, had made significant achievements and were the “princes” the noble ladies dreamed of marrying.

Compared to them, he, who was rarely home, couldn’t always be there to protect and provide security, definitely seemed inferior.

Before winning Lin Mengting’s heart, he couldn’t let her meet these guys. Otherwise, if they wooed her away, he’d truly lose everything!

…

With these thoughts, Sun Weiqi gently pushed open the door and firmly guided Lin Mengting to the sofa.

“Tingting, we need to talk.”

As her body touched the sofa, Lin Mengting snapped back to reality. She met Sun Weiqi’s clear, sincere, and honest gaze for a moment and then nodded, “Yes, we do need to talk.”

Sun Weiqi felt a bit disappointed that her dazed state was gone but knew it was crucial to have an open conversation with her now.

Suppressing his slight regret, Sun Weiqi got up and casually asked, “Tingting, would you like something to drink? Tea, juice, or milk?”

Immediately, he wanted to slap himself. Why mention milk? Wouldn’t that cause a misunderstanding?

Sure enough, Lin Mengting looked at him with a strange expression and raised an eyebrow. “You have milk here?”

Who would have thought that the tall, strong, grown-up Sun Weiqi would enjoy drinking milk like a little girl?

Sun Weiqi’s mouth twitched, but he admitted honestly, “My mom forced it on me, said it’s for ‘calcium.'”

“Calcium, huh?” Lin Mengting smiled meaningfully. “I’ve heard that only three types of people need calcium supplements. Which one are you, Mr. Sun?”

Old people, children, or pregnant women?

Sun Weiqi detected her teasing tone but didn’t get angry. Instead, he mimicked her raised eyebrow and teasingly replied, “Tingting, which one do you think I am?”

His “humble” stance, letting her decide, made Lin Mengting feel frustrated. After a moment, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Unfortunately, her beautiful eyes, which sparkled with emotion, looked enchanting to Sun Weiqi, who was smitten.

However, Sun Weiqi couldn’t tolerate Lin Mengting calling him “Mr. Sun” and treating him like a stranger.

He had feelings for her and couldn’t let her avoid or hide from him!

“Call me Weiqi, Ah Qi, or Little Qi. You choose.” Sun Weiqi thought for a moment and added, “Or, if you like, you can call me ‘Brother Qi.'”

Brother Qi? Brother Qi! No way!!

Dealing with such a shameless person, Lin Mengting didn’t know how to respond. She took a deep breath to calm herself, avoiding falling into his “trap.”

“Mr. Sun, strictly speaking, we’re just ‘neighbors.'”

She hated the word “neighbors”! Those sayings about the importance of good neighbors were all nonsense!

“I thought we had already reached a mutual understanding.” Sun Weiqi casually took a carton of milk from the fridge, put it in the microwave, and then, with an imposing manner, walked towards Lin Mengting on the sofa.

What? Was he planning to use threats now?

As Lin Mengting prepared to counter, she was stunned.

Sun Weiqi suddenly moved swiftly, like an angry leopard, towards her!

Well, “pounced” might not be the right word.

But Sun Weiqi quickly closed the distance with grace and power, catching Lin Mengting off guard.

“You…”

His dark face was so close, his breath warm on her cheeks. His deep, star-like eyes filled with gentle emotions made Lin Mengting blush.

Her calm facade faded away, leaving her feeling helpless and shy.

This was the first time in both her lives that Lin Mengting had been this close to a man!

Especially a man whose gaze revealed his deep feelings, making her feel as if she could see into his soul.
