Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 280

Lin Mengting “…”

In the past, she never noticed how her usually aloof and proud colleagues could be so gossipy in private!

Qian Zhiyuan “…”

What happened? How did he come across such shocking news just half an hour late to the office?

In the previous life, Lin Mengting only revealed that she had a boyfriend three years later!

Could it be that Lin Mengting’s refusal of Zheng Gang with the “I have a boyfriend” excuse was true? Was the officer’s photo she showed not randomly cut from a magazine?

…

“I’ll bring wedding candies tomorrow,” Lin Mengting said softly, but her bright and beaming expression revealed her immense happiness and joy.

She was like a girl immersed in the bliss of love, making others irresistibly envious and jealous!

…

As for the wedding banquet?

Lin Mengting didn’t specify, but her colleagues at Hongxing Company immediately understood.

Not everyone is willing to contribute to a wedding gift fund.

After all, in an era where salaries are generally low, a few hundred yuan each month for gifts is a significant amount.

Even if Lin Mengting got promoted to a managerial position, she could only invite colleagues from her department, not spread wedding invitations widely.

Otherwise, it would look like she was just trying to collect as much gift money as possible!

…

At precisely twelve noon, Lin Mengting received a call from Sun Weiqi.

“You’re downstairs? … Okay, wait a moment, I’ll be right down!”

She hung up the phone and started tidying up her messy desk.

Colleagues who, though busy with their work, had developed the skill of being aware of their surroundings, started teasing her.

“Oh, Lin Mengting, is your boyfriend here to pick you up?”

“Your boyfriend treats you so well, picking you up and dropping you off every day. He’s truly a rare, good man in this era! You should hold on tight to him and not let anyone else steal him away!”

…

Lin Mengting smiled and exchanged a few words with everyone before grabbing her bag and leaving.

After she left, the teasing quickly turned into envy and jealousy.

“I didn’t expect Lin Mengting to be so lucky!”

“Why can’t I meet such a good man?”

“Single ladies, seeking marriage!! Aaaah…”

“Kneeling and begging heaven to send me a good man!”

“I have to say, you girls are single because your standards are too high. If you were like Xiao Lin and had your eyes open to notice the good men around you, you wouldn’t be envious now!”

“Ah, sis, we can’t compare ourselves to Xiao Lin! When we were nineteen, we were still in college. But at nineteen, Lin Mengting had already ‘achieved success and happiness.’ It makes me feel like my first nineteen years were wasted!”

“Don’t just talk about the past nineteen years; I feel like my entire thirty years were wasted!”

…

Once one person started, the others followed with sighs and complaints.

They all lamented why they didn’t have Lin Mengting’s courage back then, or at least her good fortune, to meet the right person during the best years of their lives and form an enviable relationship.

…

Opening the door, Lin Mengting saw the dining table full of dishes, the faint aroma of food wafting through the air.

When she lifted the lids, the fragrance exploded, enveloping her small frame instantly.

“What a wonderful feeling!”

Lin Mengting couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, feeling content and satisfied.

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the large glass windows.

Bathed in the sunlight, Lin Mengting looked like a celestial being descended to the mortal world.

But this sight of Lin Mengting made Sun Weiqi inexplicably anxious and uneasy.

The next moment, he stepped forward and tightly embraced her.

Alive!

Vivid and alive!

His girl was still nestled in his arms!

The imagined terrifying scene of her ascending to the heavens and leaving him behind was just that—his imagination.

His girl wouldn’t leave him alone to face the bustling and chaotic world!

Lin Mengting “…”

Although surprised, Lin Mengting, keenly aware of Sun Weiqi’s sudden unease and fear, didn’t hesitate to wrap her arms around his waist and gently rest her cheek against his chest, softly nuzzling him.

She was like a spoiled kitten, using her soft paws to lightly scratch at his heart, making him feel ticklish, warm, and deeply satisfied.

The unwarranted fear and sorrow dissipated like the wind, leaving no trace.

Sun Weiqi subtly sighed in relief. No matter what, in this moment and in the future, Lin Mengting would remain by his side.

And his embrace would always be open only for her.

“I used to hear poets talk about ‘love at first sight,’ and I didn’t quite understand. Now, I do.”

Lin Mengting “…”

She suddenly felt like she was becoming speechless more often today!

Is this a good sign?

She hadn’t expected the usually taciturn Sun Weiqi to speak such tender words continuously!

She looked up at Sun Weiqi.

The next moment, she was caught in his deep gaze.

What kind of eyes were those?

Like a sky full of stars, once you looked into them, you couldn’t bear to look away.

There was also a deep affection, gently enveloping her like a warm spring breeze, filling her with joy and contentment without feeling overwhelmed.

Perhaps, having lived two lives and been lonely for so long, she had developed a kind of “love thirst.”

Otherwise, why would she feel that this kind of life should last forever, without any interruptions or disturbances?

After all, she used to dislike anyone trying to control her in the name of “love and for her own good.”
