Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 154

After hanging up the phone, Qin Dong’s face turned as black as coal, and his eyes bulged like copper bells. He threw the phone—not onto the floor, since it was too valuable—but onto the soft bed.

“Hmph!”

After venting a bit, Qin Dong still felt the anger in his chest grow stronger, like a fire doused with several buckets of oil, burning his soul.

How dare she refuse my package!!

Lin Mengting, you really think you can escape my “revenge”?

…

After a moment, Qin Dong calmed down and began placing the bought items into several prepared boxes.

“Hmph!”

Another cold laugh filled with malice escaped his lips.

…

“Boyfriend?” Lin Mengting shook her head with a smile. “My boyfriend is in S City, not in the Capital City.”

This confirmed that this so-called “package full of love” was indeed sent to the wrong place!

“But…” The young postal worker looked hesitant. “He said he’s your boyfriend and wanted to surprise you. If that’s the case, I definitely won’t sign for it.”

Lin Mengting sighed. “These gifts expressing affection between young couples can’t be accepted by outsiders. What if his ‘girlfriend’ misunderstands? What then? Since ancient times, ‘it’s better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a single marriage’!”

“Alright! I’ll do as you say and return this package to the Capital City.” The worker, having no other option, decided that from now on, whenever he encountered such “dubious” deliveries, he would avoid them if possible, or pass the task to someone else.

After the courier left, Sun Lina teased, “Tingting, when did you get a boyfriend? Keeping us all in the dark!”

Another girl chimed in, “Yeah, if you have a boyfriend, you should treat us! You’re buying afternoon tea today!!”

Lin Mengting coughed lightly, giving them a “you know the truth” look, and said with a smile, “A new dessert shop opened downstairs. You can place an order, and I’ll have them deliver it.”

The two girls cheered and eagerly studied the menu.

…

“Still not accepting the package?” Qin Dong gripped his phone tightly, taking several deep breaths to suppress his rising anger.

Sensing Qin Dong’s rage, the young worker shivered and said quietly, “Yes, today we’ll arrange for the package to be returned to the Capital City. Please keep an eye out for it.”

“No need!” Qin Dong said coldly. “Just throw the package away!”

“Throw it away?!” The young man instinctively responded, “Isn’t it a surprise for your girlfriend? How can you just throw it away? Maybe you should call her and get the correct address so we can redeliver it?”

“I said throw it away, so throw it away! Enough with the nonsense!” Unable to bear it anymore, Qin Dong shouted, then hung up the phone.

After all, over the phone, the other party didn’t know who he was!

Since that was the case, why bother controlling his anger and pretending to be polite?

Even if only the post office handled package deliveries, so what? It’s not like this young man would always be the one delivering it!

And even if he was, so what? He was the customer, and the customer is always right!

“Beep beep beep…” The busy signal on the phone left the young man a bit stunned.

But being naturally carefree, he didn’t take the “random outburst” to heart. He just shrugged and muttered, “That guy is so strange! Could it be that he was rejected by Miss Lin and is now trying to scare her with random packages?”

The young man was startled by his own imagination, quickly shaking off those thoughts.

In this world, how many “crazy people” could there be?

…

“Tingting, are you free tonight? I’d like to take you out to dinner.”

Lin Mengting blinked, unsure how to respond to Xu Meili and Zheng Gang, her “allies.”

Every time Xu Meili called her, she would receive a call from Zheng Gang within three days.

But if Xu Meili didn’t call her, Zheng Gang would stay silent and wouldn’t bother her.

——So, this situation seemed like a pair of “more than friends, but not quite lovers” partners who cared about each other, right?

Or was it another way of “showing off their affection”?

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, Lin Mengting used a tone of distant coldness and asked, “Sorry, but who is this?”

Zheng Gang instinctively tightened his grip on the phone, his fingers turning pale from the pressure, and a fierce glint flashed in his narrowed eyes.

【Playing dumb? Hmph! With such shallow tricks, you dare to show off in front of me? If it were anyone else, he’d teach them the meaning of the word ‘dead’!】

“Tingting, it’s Zheng Gang!” Zheng Gang sighed, sounding deeply hurt. “You heartless girl, it’s been a while since I last called, and you’ve forgotten all about me!”

“Mr. Zheng, we’re just colleagues.”

Not even “friends” or “business partners”!

Zheng Gang “…”

【Colleagues? Despite my efforts to meet her by chance at least five times and invite her multiple times, in her mind, I’m just a “colleague”?】

【Is Lin Mengting really this clueless? Or just pretending to be?】

【No! Even the dullest girl would change drastically if raised as a noble lady, and Lin Mengting is so smart!】

【Could she really think that such cold indifference would deter his persistent pursuit? Such a naive and laughable idea!】
