Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 266

“You didn’t watch the news again, did you?”

Sun Weiqi said, “Yesterday, the local news reported that the highway from D City to S City had a landslide. They’re rushing to repair it, so all vehicles have to take a detour.”

“Oh,” Lin Mengting responded indifferently, adjusting her position. “Drive slowly. I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up at seven. I need to make a call to the boss and let them know.”

Lin Mengting leaving early wasn’t a big deal to the other employees. After all, many people skipped the company events each year for various reasons.

“Sure,” Sun Weiqi secretly celebrated his success in “fooling” Lin Mengting. Little did he know, Lin Mengting wasn’t fooled at all. She just didn’t bother to expose his carefully crafted “lie.”

…

Maybe three minutes, five minutes, or even half an hour passed. When Sun Weiqi looked at Lin Mengting again, she was already asleep.

So, Sun Weiqi slowed down the car and drove under the shade of trees to avoid the harsh sunlight waking her up.

…

Perhaps because she had too much fun the day before, or maybe because she trusted Sun Weiqi subconsciously, Lin Mengting slept for nearly four hours. The familiar scenery by the roadside startled her awake, and her fuzzy mind quickly cleared up.

“Why didn’t you wake me up!”

It was already nine o’clock. She wondered how worried her colleagues were when they couldn’t find her.

“You work so hard every day. I didn’t want to wake you up,” Sun Weiqi said in a calm tone, but his caring words soothed Lin Mengting’s anger and frustration. “I called your colleague after seven and told them you left early.”

“How did you get their number?” Lin Mengting asked instinctively, realizing it was a silly question right after she said it. However, Sun Weiqi didn’t seem to notice and smiled at her. “It was a coincidence. Just as I was about to call, I got a call from Yang Ping, your good friend. I asked her to pass the message.”

“What did you tell her?” Lin Mengting had a bad feeling but couldn’t stop herself from asking. “Did you say you’re my boyfriend?”

“Yep,” Sun Weiqi replied, looking at her with surprise, as if asking, “We’re a couple, so why hide it?”

Besides, yesterday, Lin Mengting had promised to “show him off” to her colleagues.

Lin Mengting covered her face, dreading how Yang Ping would tease her at work the next day.

Sun Weiqi handed her a cup of soy milk and a bag of steaming dumplings. “Hungry? Have some food first. We’ll eat more when we get to S City.”

Chinese people are food lovers. There’s a saying, “There’s nothing food can’t fix. If one meal doesn’t work, then two will.”

Lin Mengting, a typical food lover, was instantly charmed by the dumplings from a famous shop in D City. She took a bite, savoring the delicious taste, and couldn’t help but smile.

“When did you get these? How are they still warm?”

Sun Weiqi answered, “I asked the kitchen to prepare them while you were freshening up. They’ve been in a thermal container. Perfect for now.”

“Privilege! I’m so jealous!” Lin Mengting pouted. No one else could get the chef to wake up early just to steam a couple of dumplings.

“You’ll have it too,” Sun Weiqi said. The Sun family believed in spoiling their daughters-in-law. Men should work hard outside to provide a good life for their wives, making them the envy of others.

Lin Mengting “…”

Why did she suddenly get a “bossy CEO” vibe from him?

…

Half an hour later, they arrived in S City.

This was Sun Weiqi’s second time visiting Lin Mengting’s “home.”

The sunshine in S City was always bright and dazzling. In front of the large glass wall was a white wool carpet with several stylish and exquisite cushions scattered around.

The crowded bookshelf seemed to have more books.

The shoe cabinet was filled with various shoes…

Even though he had only seen them once, Sun Weiqi often dreamed of the cozy scenes of him and Lin Mengting in this house.

After entering, Lin Mengting threw her bag aside, took off her shoes, and walked barefoot on the shiny floor. She stretched like a swan, feeling alive again.

Noticing Sun Weiqi still standing there dumbly, she waved her fingers in front of his face.

His eyes followed her fingers, but his expression remained oddly blank.

“Hey? Are you dumb?” Lin Mengting teased, and when he didn’t respond, she pinched his cheek and pulled.

Sun Weiqi was forced to show his white teeth.

“Tsk!” Lin Mengting pouted, “Look at you, smiling but not really smiling!”

“Tingting!” Even ordinary soldiers reacted when someone approached them, let alone a capable “warrior” like Sun Weiqi.

But right now, he was willingly playing the fool!

“Yeah?” Lin Mengting responded casually. The next moment, she felt his arms around her and his lips on hers, and she realized she was wrong!

She shouldn’t tease someone like Sun Weiqi.

No, that’s not right!

She didn’t mean to tease him!

She just wanted to “bully” him a bit, but she ended up suffering herself…
