Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 261

“Running away after getting what you want…”

Lin Mengting couldn’t help muttering to herself, looking like a grumpy housewife.

Luckily, there were no mirrors in the hot spring, or she might have scared herself.

“Mengting,” came a soft voice from above. Lin Mengting looked up quickly, her annoyed gaze meeting a pair of sad and hurt eyes.

Oh no!

“Don’t you know it’s scary to sneak up on someone?” Lin Mengting clutched her chest, calming her racing heart. She was grateful she didn’t say her last thought out loud.

“What were you thinking about?” Sun Weiqi, used to Lin Mengting’s antics, squinted his eyes and placed the tray he was carrying on a small table. “I didn’t run away. I went to get you some fruit and snacks.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Lin Mengting asked, feeling guilty.

“I did tell you,” Sun Weiqi said, looking down with a slight smile.

After what happened earlier, he realized the best way to handle Lin Mengting was to kiss her until she was dizzy. That way, he could take advantage of the situation without getting blamed.

Lin Mengting felt a chill down her spine, even in the warm water. It felt like a fierce predator was watching her, ready to pounce.

It must be her imagination!

Trying to calm herself, Lin Mengting said firmly, “I didn’t hear you!”

“My mistake.” Sun Weiqi quickly admitted fault. To him, admitting he was wrong was no big deal. If Lin Mengting wanted to hit him, he’d even offer her gloves to protect her hands.

“Hmph!” Lin Mengting pouted, realizing she couldn’t win against him. She picked up her phone and called Yang Ping, telling her she was with a friend and wouldn’t be joining them in the hot spring. Then she hung up.

“Here, your favorite mung bean cake.” Sun Weiqi offered a piece to Lin Mengting.

Lin Mengting took a bite, enjoying the light, sweet taste. “It’s good. You try it.”

Sun Weiqi took the same piece she bit and ate it slowly, savoring it. “Yes, it’s very good.”

If only his eyes didn’t look at her like a hungry puppy finding a bone, his words might have been more convincing.

This was outright flirting!

Lin Mengting rolled her eyes at Sun Weiqi, refusing to play along. She sipped her fruit tea and looked out the window. “This place is nice.”

“If you like it, we can come often,” Sun Weiqi said, taking a sip of juice.

Lin Mengting, watching him, couldn’t believe he accidentally took the wrong cup again. It had to be intentional!

“I heard the snacks and fruits here are made from fresh, local ingredients. They do taste good.”

The way he said “taste good” implied something more…

Lin Mengting finally admitted to herself never underestimate men. Even the purest ones could be natural flirts.

Sun Weiqi handed her a card. “Here, take this.”

“What kind of card?” Lin Mengting asked, taking it and examining it. “A VIP black card?!”

“The owner is a friend from the military,” Sun Weiqi explained. “This pool is reserved for me. You can come whenever you want.”

“Isn’t it bad to take advantage like this?” Lin Mengting was surprised at Sun Weiqi’s connections. Her father was a soldier too, but he didn’t have such benefits.

Could this be the real difference between people?

Even though her father was honest and didn’t know how to flatter others, Sun Weiqi seemed to have great relationships despite his serious demeanor.

If Sun Weiqi knew her thoughts, he’d proudly say it was personal charm that won people over, even with few words.

“An empty pool is a waste. Your visits will keep it lively,” Sun Weiqi said, looking very serious but sounding playful. Lin Mengting couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, someday I’ll treat your friend to a meal.”

That sounded a bit odd.

Sun Weiqi paused, feeling excited. “Why wait? Let’s meet him now.”

Lin Mengting agreeing to meet his friend? This was significant!

“Okay.” Lin Mengting smiled, looking forward to the moment when she would pay for the meal.

It would be quite a scene!
