Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Liu Meiqi called Wang Erhai several times, but Wang Erhai didn't answer any of them, which infuriated Liu Meiqi; her original intention to apologize was shattered in an instant.

"Wang Erhai, you bastard, why won't you answer my phone! Ah!!!"

Liu Meiqi screamed in frustration and slammed the pillow hard onto the floor.

She thought Wang Erhai was deliberately ignoring her.

But she never considered that it was already past one in the morning, nearing two; Wang Erhai had long since fallen asleep soundly after returning to the rental house, and his phone was on silent, so how could he hear her call?

He still had to go to work tomorrow; Wang Erhai didn't want such trivial matters to affect his job.

And he didn't think it was a big deal either; if Liu Meiqi wanted to break up, they could break up; if she didn't, they could just continue as before—it was that simple, no need for too much internal consumption.

Liu Meiqi couldn't do that; the more indifferent Wang Erhai was to her, the more frantic she became.

That night, she suffered from insomnia.

Tossing and turning, sometimes crying, sometimes sneering coldly, sometimes going frantic.

Until past six in the morning, she still hadn't fallen asleep.

When it was past seven in the morning, her phone rang.

It was Wang Erhai calling.

But her temper had already been worn out by a whole night of insomnia.

She didn't want to answer Wang Erhai's phone call anymore.

Nor did she want to listen to Wang Erhai's explanation.

Only someone who doesn't love you would be so indifferent to your feelings.

And in fact, Wang Erhai indeed didn't love her.

She also knew this.

And she also considered herself not to love Wang Erhai.

So why couldn't she let go?

Why did she still care so much?

Liu Meiqi felt she was almost going crazy.

Like a female lunatic!

The phone ring rang for quite a while, then finally stopped.

It rang again, then stopped again.

It rang again, then stopped again.

Wang Erhai called Liu Meiqi three times in a row, but Liu Meiqi didn't answer any of them.

Liu Meiqi thought, once Wang Erhai called a fourth time, she would answer.

Last night she had called Wang Erhai three times, and Wang Erhai hadn't answered, so this morning she wouldn't answer Wang Erhai's three calls either; this was called using the other person's method to treat the other person.

But she never expected that Wang Erhai hadn't thought about calling her a fourth time at all; seeing that Liu Meiqi hadn't answered after three calls, Wang Erhai stopped calling and only sent a message to Liu Meiqi on WeChat:

"See the WeChat and call me back; if you don't want to come to work in the morning, at least greet me."

Looking at the cold string of words Wang Erhai sent, commanding in tone, without even a warm little emoji, Liu Meiqi felt increasingly stifled in her heart.

She felt she was very cheap and not worth it.

But inexplicably, Wang Erhai seemed to have a kind of magic power, making her unable to let go despite the pain.

She herself couldn't figure out what kind of magic power it was.

But outsiders looking from a god's-eye view could see it very clearly.

What attracted Liu Meiqi to Wang Erhai wasn't magic power, but his ability in that aspect; his ability in that aspect was too strong, and so far they had only been intimate three times, but just those three times had already made Liu Meiqi unable to extricate herself.

The harm brought by emotional entanglement gave her pain, but this pain, when being intimate with Wang Erhai, also invisibly amplified her physical pleasure.

This was the reason she was addicted.

Actually, deformed male-female relationships like Liu Meiqi and Wang Erhai's are not uncommon in this society; they are even very common.

How many men and women argue and fight, even coming to blows, fighting like enemies to the death, yet cannot separate.

And in most cases, it's the man who wants to separate but can't, while the woman, even after being beaten, still refuses to separate.

Actually there's no other reason.

It's just that the groom's home gave the girlfriend extreme satisfaction in that aspect, thus forming a physiological dependence.

Put lightly, this is the so-called love-hate relationship.

Put seriously, this is the so-called mental control.

Liu Meiqi didn't call Wang Erhai back because she was competing with Wang Erhai.

Why should I do whatever you tell me to do?

She insisted on waiting for Wang Erhai to take the initiative to call her.

Last night she had originally wanted to take the initiative to apologize and admit her mistake, but Wang Erhai didn't answer her phone; Wang Erhai had already missed the opportunity for her to take the initiative to apologize and admit her mistake, so don't even think about her lowering her head again.

She has a temper too!

So she just waited like that, waiting all along.

And didn't go to work.

Anyway, she had shares in Shanhai Real Estate and could receive a dividend every month without fail; not going to work, Wang Erhai could do nothing to her, at most he would deduct some of her basic salary, but he couldn't deduct her dividend.

Wang Erhai was busy working in the office; he hadn't taken this matter to heart at all.

If he had taken it to heart, then after Liu Meiqi splashed tea water in his face last night and turned to leave, he wouldn't have remained indifferent, nor would he have gone back to the rental house alone and fallen fast asleep.

You could say he was heartless, but this was clearly the most rational way to handle it, and also the way most favorable to himself.

Before long it was noon quitting time; Wang Erhai finished the work at hand, only then remembering Liu Meiqi, took out his mobile phone to check WeChat, and found that Liu Meiqi hadn't replied to him, nor called him.

He cursed once:

"Not coming to work and not saying a word, acting like an ancestor!"

At this moment, Wang Erhai's phone rang.

Zhang Sheng, General Manager of Huangsheng Group, called him.

Wang Erhai hurriedly answered:

"Hello, Manager Zhang, what are your orders?"

Wang Erhai's tone was humble, his attitude polite.

After all, Zhang Sheng was a dragon-level figure in this county town's real estate industry; for Shanhai Real Estate to survive in this county town, relying on Niu Chunsheng's backing wasn't enough—they also needed Zhang Sheng to give them room to survive.

"Actually it's nothing much; I just heard you and Mei Qi are dating, so I specially called to congratulate you on your happy union!"

Zhang Sheng on the other end of the phone had a gentle tone, showing the friendly attitude of an elder sincerely blessing a younger generation.

Wang Erhai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied:

"Mei Qi and I are indeed together, thank you for your blessings, Manager Zhang!"

He thought in his heart: Zhang Sheng knew about this matter so fast—could it be that Liu Meiqi told him?

He specially called to bless them; what was his purpose?

"Manager Wang, Mei Qi was formerly the sales champion of my Huangsheng Group; when she was under me, I always treated her like my own daughter. I hope that now that she is by your side, you will treat her well."

Zhang Sheng said these earnest words at this time.

"Certainly, certainly, I will definitely treat her well..."

Wang Erhai hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Zhang Sheng then said:

"This is a matter worth celebrating. How about this: tonight at eight o'clock, you and Mei Qi come to Huangsheng Hotel; I'll treat you to a meal, and along the way discuss the cooperation matters between Huangsheng Group and Shanhai Real Estate. What do you think?"

Wang Erhai was stunned again; he subconsciously felt things weren't as simple as they appeared on the surface.

But he still hurriedly agreed:

"Good, good, thanks to Manager Zhang's generosity; tonight at eight o'clock, Mei Qi and I will definitely arrive punctually!"
