Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai returned to the rental house, and for some reason, an inexplicable melancholy rose in his heart, even a feeling of hating himself.

He was very certain that he didn't love Liu Mei Qi that much, yet he couldn't help but feel possessive of Liu Mei Qi.

One can only blame oneself for having too little self-control, and blame Liu Mei Qi for being excessively beautiful in appearance.

After tonight's twists and turns, from now on he would probably have to take responsibility for Liu Mei Qi; although deep down he was extremely unwilling to take responsibility, the education he had received since childhood, as well as his moral values and worldview, were telling him at every moment that he must shoulder the responsibility of a man.

On the other side, Liu Mei Qi's feelings were also complex; she also confirmed that she didn't love Wang Erhai that much, but for some reason, Wang Erhai exuded an indescribable charm that made her both disgusted and addicted.

It was a contradictory feeling, but also a very real feeling.

She thought for a long time before she understood the reason.

In fact, there are only two reasons a man can fascinate a woman: either he is handsome, or he is highly capable in that aspect.

As for a man having money, that cannot make a woman truly fascinated; it can only make a woman pretend to be fascinated.

And Wang Erhai very clearly belonged to the latter.

His capability in that aspect was too strong.

Liu Mei Qi was someone who had weathered storms, a veteran of life, and naturally understood how important physiological satisfaction was.

She also knew that this could not serve as the sole criterion for evaluation, but she simply could not bypass this factor.

Wang Erhai was not good-looking, and his temper was also volatile.

Recalling tonight, when he forcibly pulled her into the car, she was truly terrified.

His behavior was truly too rough; at the start it did not give her much of a good feeling.

But under the interweaving emotions of nervousness, fear, and resistance, it inexplicably aroused excitement in her.

As this excitement increased, it actually let her experience a wonderful feeling she had never felt before.

Now recalling the various details in the car just now, she still relished them endlessly.

What to do about this?

Could it be that I would really fall in love with a man like Wang Erhai because of that bit of messy business?

Liu Mei Qi's heart was full of contradictions.

Early the next morning, Liu Mei Qi went to work at Shanhai Real Estate as usual.

Wang Erhai had arrived at the company very early.

The two of them in the office, the atmosphere was obviously somewhat awkward.

Seeing Wang Erhai acting like nothing had happened, Liu Mei Qi felt stifled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to come to Wang Erhai's office to get documents, she closed the door and confronted Wang Erhai:

"How should last night's matter be settled?"

Wang Erhai was expressionless, head down processing documents:

"However you want to settle it, that's how we'll settle it."

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Mei Qi flared up at once.

Wang Erhai's indifferent, perfunctory attitude made her feel her giving had not received the respect it deserved.

"If you want to go public, I can announce to everyone right now that you are my girlfriend; if you don't want to go public, then I'll respect your choice too, even if you want to cut off ties, I'll respect that as well."

Wang Erhai's words were still full of reason, even giving Liu Mei Qi a great degree of freedom to choose.

But anyone who has been in a relationship knows, this attitude does not come from respect, but because he doesn't care.

It's because he doesn't care that he doesn't bother to calculate, that he says "whatever you choose I'll respect you."

Liu Mei Qi naturally understood this principle too.

So she was very angry.

She got into a standoff with Wang Erhai; Wang Erhai doesn't care, does he?

Then she would make Wang Erhai have no choice but to care.

"Fine, fine, fine, that's what you said yourself — then I want you to go out right now and announce to all the employees outside that I am your girlfriend! Right now, immediately, at once!"

Liu Mei Qi thought Wang Erhai wouldn't dare, thought Wang Erhai would back down.

Wang Erhai didn't truly love her; usually it was just the playful type, so he definitely wouldn't dare make it public.

Unexpectedly she had guessed wrong again.

"Fine."

Wang Erhai only replied with a single word.

Then he immediately stood up and walked out of the office.

Facing the dozen or so employees outside.

"Everyone put down your work, I want to announce something to everyone."

As soon as Wang Erhai spoke, the employees all looked up, curiosity on their faces, wondering what General Manager Wang was about to announce.

Seeing Wang Erhai actually doing it for real, Liu Mei Qi panicked at once; she had only wanted to intimidate Wang Erhai a little, to make him yield and apologize to her, that was all.

She never expected Wang Erhai would actually dare to announce it.

She lost her composure at once and hurried out.

"Wang Erhai!"

She called out, hoping Wang Erhai wouldn't act recklessly.

As a result, her shout only attracted the employees' attention even more.

One by one they wore the look of people eating melons, feeling the matter was not simple.

Wang Erhai glanced back at Liu Mei Qi, feeling this woman had a screw loose — she was the one who actively proposed going public just now, and now she came to stop him.

Now that he had already walked to this step, naturally he would not be controlled by Liu Mei Qi.

If Liu Mei Qi shouted once and he shrank back, wouldn't he have no face?

So he ignored Liu Mei Qi and instead said loudly to all employees:

"Liu Mei Qi and I are dating; in a moment I'll send each of you a red envelope, counting as a celebration of this special day."

As soon as Wang Erhai's words fell, the employees below burst into delighted cheers, all offering congratulations.

Wang Erhai, however, remained expressionless.

Liu Mei Qi could only squeeze out an unnatural smile, responding to everyone's blessings.

Once Wang Erhai turned back to the office, she immediately followed.

"Bang" — she shut the door and locked it.

"Wang Erhai, are you sick in the head!"

Liu Mei Qi suppressed anger in her throat, accusing Wang Erhai furiously.

Wang Erhai shot Liu Mei Qi a disdainful glance and replied lightly:

"You're the one who's sick; you told me to announce it publicly, and now you come scold me? Which nerve of yours is crossed?"

Liu Mei Qi was fuming, yet for a moment she had no retort.

Wang Erhai, for his part, wore a cold, indifferent face:

"Could it be this way of announcing still can't satisfy you? Fine then, I'll post on Moments right now, tell the world — that should work, right?"

Liu Mei Qi immediately flew into a rage:

"If you dare post on Moments, I'll never let you off!"

"Neurotic!" Wang Erhai cursed coldly.

"If you won't let me post then forget it; I never said I insisted on posting — or are you afraid posting on Moments would let your other boyfriends see?"

Wang Erhai was sarcastic and ironic.

Liu Mei Qi exploded with anger.

"Wang Erhai, your words are too much — what do you take me for!"

"How would I know what you are? I only know you're the real estate sales champion."

Wang Erhai's knife-edged mouth truly cuts to the bone with every word.

Liu Mei Qi's self-esteem was poked full of holes.

She herself knew that her title as female sales champion looked infinitely glorious on the surface, but actually bore countless village gossip.

When outsiders spoke behind her back, she could pretend not to hear.

But Wang Erhai, this man who had shared skin-to-skin intimacy with her, saying such sarcastic words to her face — that truly killed the heart.

"So what if I'm the female sales champion? I don't eat your family's rice; I eat by my own ability — am I in your way? As for you, you're so ugly you don't even piss in a mirror to look at yourself — a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

Liu Mei Qi hurled vicious words.
