Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 144

How fake!

Trying to fool her with something that wouldn’t even trick a three-year-old girl, did he think she was stupid?

Lin Mengting silently criticized, though she said nothing. Her occasional glances at Sun Weiqi were so strange that even the usually calm Sun Weiqi felt a bit uneasy.

But soon, Sun Weiqi suppressed those unnecessary feelings and explained sincerely, “My friend has a somewhat… peculiar personality.”

He showed a helpless expression. “You’ll understand what I mean when you meet him.”

Foreign-obsessed?

Lin Mengting blinked her clear almond eyes, dismissed the unreliable thought, and took a sip of milk.

Her pink lips, touched by a bit of the white liquid, made them look even more enticing…

Sun Weiqi’s gaze wavered, and he held his breath, trying to steady his mind. His usually strong self-control was being severely tested.

“Try these pastries. If you like them, I’ll have him bring more next time,” Sun Weiqi said, pushing the tray closer to her, subtly shifting his body.

He had made a wise decision today.

From the moment these treats appeared, Lin Mengting’s attention had been captured. Otherwise, no matter how well Sun Weiqi disguised his intentions, she would have noticed and put him at a disadvantage.

If that happened, not only would he fail to win favor with her elders and marry her, but he might also end up on her blacklist!

“Thank you.” Habitually polite, Lin Mengting was about to tactfully tell Sun Weiqi not to go to such lengths for snacks when she heard a familiar voice.

“Tingting!”

Zhang Qiang?!

Lin Mengting’s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran outside. “Xiao Qiang!”

Sun Weiqi silently retracted his hand, staring at his strong, calloused fingers in bewilderment.

As a powerful special forces soldier known as the “King of Soldiers,” he had just been slipped past like a breeze by the girl he fancied! It was the greatest humiliation of his life!

No, no!!

The real issue was the person who interrupted his carefully planned moment of intimacy and honesty. Who was it?

Who dared to do this?

…

“Lin Mengting!” Unaware of the “danger” she was in, Zhang Qiang, feeling annoyed by her nickname, sped up like a bullet toward Lin Mengting.

Her angry posture and frustrated shout indicated she was ready to explode.

But Lin Mengting was fearless.

Before Zhang Qiang could reach her, Lin Mengting ran a few steps and hugged her tightly. “Xiao Qiang! Xiao Qiang!!”

So excited! So happy!!

Never had she been this happy!

Zhang Qiang’s appearance was perfect timing! It showed that her luck in this life was much better than before!

…

“What are you doing, Tingting? Didn’t I tell you not to call me that?” Zhang Qiang squinted, hiding the cunning in her eyes, and spoke softly while gently pulling Lin Mengting’s cheeks apart.

Seeing Zhang Qiang about to “transform,” Lin Mengting immediately surrendered. “I was wrong! Queen, spare me!!”

Zhang Qiang raised an eyebrow. “Hmm?!”

Lin Mengting, with tears in her eyes, tried to look pitiful and innocent but couldn’t due to Zhang Qiang holding her cheeks. She could only say, “My favorite rose…”

Favorite?

Favorite!

Sun Weiqi, emerging from the room, caught these words and instantly changed his view of Zhang Qiang.

—This person is a rival and must be dealt with!

Zhang Qiang felt like a wild beast was staring at her. Her blood ran cold, and she broke out in a sweat, her mind screaming, “Run! Run!!”

But her usually quick reflexes failed her, leaving her unable to move.

Sun Weiqi crossed his arms and studied Zhang Qiang, quickly concluding she was not a threat.

Still, he couldn’t be careless to avoid unexpected failure.

As Sun Weiqi moved towards Lin Mengting to declare his presence to Zhang Qiang, his plan was thwarted.

A group of people stepped out of the elevator, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Lin Mengting and Zhang Qiang hugging, they looked disappointed, as if missing an interesting scene.

But spotting Sun Weiqi leaning against the wall, their eyes lit up with curiosity and gossip.

—Such a powerful, wealthy, and handsome young man was the dream of many matchmakers!

Everyone knew someone suitable for him.

If they could match him, they’d feel the thrill of elevating from ordinary life to the elite circle!
