Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 265

“These are Tiger and Leopard…”

Sun Weiqi introduced the eight men one by one, then turned to the puzzled Lin Mengting. “Mengting, you can just call them by these names.”

The eight men with animal names “…”

Captain, they had real names! Strong, heroic names!

They really wanted to protest, maybe not injure Sun Weiqi too seriously, but at least make him regret today’s “lesson” by giving him a black eye or two!

However, facing Sun Weiqi’s cold, warning look, these eight men, who had been beaten countless times under the guise of “training” by him, backed down.

No one wanted to be the “outstanding bird” that got shot down, especially when facing Sun Weiqi!

In this situation, pleasing Lin Mengting was the only way to go.

“Yes, sister-in-law, just call us that. It sounds more friendly!”

“If you ever need anything, sister-in-law, just call us. We’ll take care of it for you, no problem.”

With such words, Lin Mengting had no choice but to accept being called “sister-in-law.”

“Thank you all in advance!”

She raised her empty wine glass and drank it all in one go, impressing the eight men who cheered her on.

The atmosphere heated up instantly.

In China, people loved to chat over drinks to bond. They had a saying, “the deeper the feelings, the bigger the drink.”

Despite her young age, Lin Mengting managed to fit into this circle of experienced middle-aged men with her straightforward and bold attitude. She could follow any topic and elevate discussions with her thoughtful insights.

Everything about her was enviable and admirable.

Why did Sun Weiqi, such a commanding presence, get to find such a smart, lively, and articulate wife? While they, supposedly successful young men, had to continue living lonely lives?

Life was so unfair!

With such bitter thoughts, the eight men watched Sun Weiqi doting on Lin Mengting, giving her everything she wanted. They felt this was exactly how things should be!

There was always a higher mountain, a more powerful person.

Most importantly, they needed to remember this moment to share detailed stories with their other comrades later on…

And so, the dinner ended with Sun Weiqi and Lin Mengting showing off their affection while the eight men watched, deep in thought.

After sending the eight men off, Sun Weiqi held Lin Mengting’s hand, and they walked along a forest path.

A light breeze brought the mixed scent of grass, trees, and the hot spring water.

They heard the sound of laughter, like silver bells ringing, and looked to see a group of young men and women playing in the misty hot spring pool under the moonlight.

“Are those your colleagues?” Sun Weiqi frowned slightly, then relaxed.

Luckily, he had stopped it in time and arrived at the resort. Otherwise, who knew if Lin Mengting would have been convinced to join the fun and gotten taken advantage of by those “young talents”?

Not knowing that Sun Weiqi had imagined all sorts of scenarios and was secretly jealous, Lin Mengting nodded. “We planned a four-day trip to X City, but due to many new orders, everyone got too busy, so we changed it to a weekend trip. And you?”

She paused and asked, “Want to go back with us?”

Sun Weiqi’s eyes lit up, and he nodded seriously.

Lin Mengting inwardly groaned. Why did she say that so quickly?!

“You don’t want me to?” Sun Weiqi noticed her hesitation and looked down, feeling a bit sad.

At that moment, he looked like a big dog that had been rejected, with drooping ears and a pitiful expression, hoping to evoke some sympathy from Lin Mengting.

“Well… okay!”

Faced with such a look from Sun Weiqi, Lin Mengting realized she couldn’t say no!

But what was with Sun Weiqi lately? Before, he never showed such expressions, but now he seemed to have learned to act pitiful.

Thinking about how he might do this often in the future made Lin Mengting feel her days ahead could be challenging.

Still, Lin Mengting didn’t mind too much. She even found it kind of endearing in a way.

After all, someone as strong-willed as Sun Weiqi, usually reserved and aloof, showed these genuine emotions only to her. How could that not make her happy?

Such boyish emotions were revealed only in front of someone he truly trusted and relied on!

…

Whether to call Sun Weiqi petty or considerate, he didn’t want anyone else to see Lin Mengting’s charm. The next morning, before dawn, he woke her up and put her in the SUV.

“Ugh…”

Lin Mengting yawned. “Didn’t you say you wanted to go back with us?”

As someone who had never gotten up at five in the morning in both her lives, Lin Mengting felt a strong urge to punch Sun Weiqi for waking her up!

But unfortunately, she couldn’t beat him!

That was the sad truth.

“Leaving early avoids traffic,” Sun Weiqi said, keeping his eyes on the road. His slightly red ears gave away his true thoughts.

“Really?!” Lin Mengting, noticing this, squinted her eyes and exposed his lie. “I’ve never heard of traffic jams on the highway!”

Especially in 2001, when the national economy hadn’t boomed yet and few people owned cars!
