Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 278

Lin Mengting, keenly aware of the meaning behind Sun Weiqi’s words, thought back to the rare, peaceful life she had enjoyed in recent months. She quickly realized the hidden “protection” Sun Weiqi provided, and her heart felt warm.

In her past and present lives, Sun Weiqi was the first person willing to protect her this way!

The most important thing was, from beginning to end, Sun Weiqi never mentioned any of it.

If she hadn’t been reborn and experienced two lifetimes, she wouldn’t have noticed these subtle differences.

Actions always spoke louder than words.

Sweet talk could never compare to the quiet support and help from someone who wasn’t good with words.

“It’s just that a male colleague who doesn’t like me has suddenly gotten close with the chairman’s daughter, so I think I should prepare in advance.”

Prepare for what?

Of course, prepare for being marginalized and eventually fired!

Sun Weiqi thought for a moment. Instead of offering to solve Lin Mengting’s problem like most people would, or angrily criticizing the colleague, he asked calmly, “Tingting, what do you think?”

Lin Mengting didn’t answer directly but instead smiled, “Ah Qi, do you know? Hongxing Company only hires college graduates, but when I joined, I only had a vocational school diploma and I graduated from a medical school.”

Back then, Lin Mengting truly had “no experience, no degree, no knowledge”—a complete novice!

“To be honest, don’t laugh, I applied to Hongxing Company with a ‘succeed or die trying’ mindset. Luckily, fate smiled upon me, and I met a benefactor when I was politely rejected. This benefactor was Mr. Wang, who holds shares in Hongxing Company.”

“You don’t want to make things difficult for Mr. Wang?!” Sun Weiqi, filled with warmth, quickly understood Lin Mengting’s underlying meaning. He felt incredibly fortunate to have met such a good woman!

Intelligent, wise, calm, beautiful—these words were no longer enough to describe how Sun Weiqi saw Lin Mengting.

What pleased Sun Weiqi most was Lin Mengting’s grateful and kind heart.

This was an essential part of living in this world.

Not only does living with a grateful heart allow one to truly appreciate life’s beauty and happiness, but “giving a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in the hand,” and today’s gratitude might become tomorrow’s help out of a predicament.

“Do what you think is right.”

As for everything else?

He would take care of it!

…

The next morning, Lin Mengting woke up to the familiar aroma of breakfast.

By the time she finished washing up, the dining table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast.

Century egg and lean pork congee, soup dumplings, boiled eggs, fried dumplings, potato balls, sweet potato pancakes…

Everything one could think of!

It truly showcased Sun Weiqi’s improved culinary skills!!

“Ah Qi, your cooking is amazing!” Lin Mengting gave a thumbs up, not sparing her praise.

“Try it and see if you like it.” As soon as Lin Mengting sat down, Sun Weiqi swiftly filled her plate with food.

“Tomorrow, I’ll make something else.”

Lin Mengting nodded, unable to focus on chatting as the food was too delicious. She couldn’t help but think how lucky she was to have a boyfriend like Sun Weiqi who was excellent both in and out of the kitchen.

Indeed, her previous life had been difficult.

But this life was the heavens’ compensation!

She must enjoy it to the fullest!

…

After breakfast, Sun Weiqi quickly cleaned up. Then, as Lin Mengting put on her shoes and prepared to leave, he said, “I’ll take you to work.”

Before Lin Mengting could respond, he stepped forward, took her bag, and held her hand, leading her towards the elevator with an undeniable stance.

Lin Mengting blinked, her eyes lingering on Sun Weiqi’s rare casual outfit. Her confusion and doubt faded, replaced by joy and happiness, and she held his hand tightly.

“Ah Qi, I’m very happy.”

For someone like Sun Weiqi, whose military discipline was ingrained deeply, escorting his girlfriend to work and holding hands publicly showed how important she was to him!

…

Lin Mengting’s apartment was near her company, just a fifteen-minute walk away.

Some shops were already open, and soothing music filled the air, occasionally mixed with the whispers of passersby.

Several music shops played soulful love songs at their entrances.

In the past, these songs didn’t affect Lin Mengting much. Now, hearing them again, she felt excitement and joy every time she glanced at Sun Weiqi’s cold but clear eyes that now reflected her image.

In an instant, Lin Mengting understood why so many poets and writers had sung about love throughout history, and why so many songs could move people so deeply.

Only those who had truly experienced it could understand why love was such a powerful, irresistible emotion.

…

They spoke little along the way.

But the strong affection between them and the tacit understanding in their actions made it clear to everyone they encountered that they were a couple.

Even the longest road has an end, especially when it’s just a ten-minute walk.

Soon, they arrived at the building housing Hongxing Company.

In the spacious plaza downstairs, Lin Mengting stopped and said softly, “I’m here. You can go back now.”
