Wang Dahai's forehead throbbed as he fell silent for two seconds before saying, "I've already lost."
"Lost…" Lin Wanqiu's smile vanished, and a moment of confusion crossed her face.
She chuckled self-derisively and walked over to him, staring at him from a close distance.
Looking at this face, once so familiar, Lin Wanqiu suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
She asked, "Wang Dahai, do you really hate me?"
Wang Dahai averted his gaze and did not respond.
At that moment, a door in the next room opened, and Zhao Xue emerged, groggy from sleep.
Lin Wanqiu quickly lowered her head to rearrange her emotions and returned to her room.
Scratching her messy hair, Zhao Xue did not notice anything wrong between them and headed for the bathroom.
In the room.
Wu Qiangwei had already woken up and overheard the conversation outside.
Seeing Lin Wanqiu's despondent expression, and her distressed look, she sighed, "Why do you guys do this to yourselves? You clearly like each other but insist on saying such hurtful things."
Lin Wanqiu choked up, "He started it first."
"But who told you to cut ties with him first? You hadn't even decided whether you wanted to be with him or not, yet you spoke so definitively. Can you really blame him?"
Wu Qiangwei wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "Alright, go to work. Think it through properly during this time, and don't rush your decision. Once a decision is made, don't regret it."
Though they were about the same age, Wu Qiangwei had much more experience in relationships than she did.
She adjusted her emotions and then went to work.
When Wu Qiangwei left the room, she suddenly remembered that Lin Wanqiu had intended to make him apologize to her.
Now, with their conversation unfinished, how was she supposed to smoothly accept his apology and let him continue driving for her?
As she was speechless, Wang Dahai approached her.
She immediately straightened her face, brushing her teeth expressionlessly.
"Miss Wu, I'm sorry about last night's incident."
He had wanted to apologize last night but came back too late.
Wu Qiangwei stayed silent as if she hadn't heard.
Wang Dahai felt awkward, uncertain whether to stay or leave.
Since it was an apology, it definitely required a response from the other party.
Whether accepted or not.
He stood nearby, waiting for her to finish brushing and continued apologizing, "Miss Wu, I'm sorry about yesterday."
Wu Qiangwei turned to face him.
Wang Dahai felt very uncomfortable under her gaze.
"Is a simple 'sorry' enough?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dahai sensed an opportunity and quickly said, "Miss Wu, if you are available later, let me buy you a meal."
"Am I short of that one meal?"
She was really angry about the incident yesterday.
She had never been so angry in her life.
Accusing her of having a sexual disease was an insult!
Wang Dahai adopted a very humble attitude, "As long as you're not angry, I'm willing to do whatever you ask."
"Hmph!"
Wu Qiangwei said, "I'm hungry."
"Let me buy you breakfast."
"What are you waiting for then?"
Upon leaving, Wang Dahai took her to a nearby noodle shop for breakfast.
After breakfast, Wu Qiangwei said, "Bring the car over."
"Okay."
He was now effectively Wu Qiangwei's personal driver, and Liu Lin knew this.
Moreover, Liu Lin had lately been very close with Mr. Liu and wasn't interested in managing him.
He drove over, and Wu Qiangwei got into the car and directed him to the mall.
Shopping early in the morning?
Wang Dahai was puzzled, but he didn't ask further.
He was just the driver now, ignoring all else.
"It's none of his business anyway."
After parking the car, the two entered the mall.
Wu Qiangwei walked into a high-end brand store where the clothes could cost thousands or more.
Wang Dahai was earning well now, but still couldn't afford such expenses.
Watching Wu Qiangwei's generous manner, he felt the disparity between people for the first time.
Though window-shopping doesn't necessarily mean spending money, entering this type of shop still made him very uneasy.
She picked out a few clothes, tried them on, and this time didn't call Wang Dahai over to help zip her up.
After choosing her clothes, she promptly paid with her card.
Wang Dahai sneakily glanced and saw the few items were worth over thirty thousand.
"Carry them." Wu Qiangwei tossed the clothes to him.
Carrying the bags, Wang Dahai followed her around for a while longer, then she checked the time, walked to the parking lot, gave him an address, and asked him to drive there.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped below a high-end office building in the city center.
"Miss Wu, how long will you be approximately?"
"Do you have something to do?"
"Yeah, something."
Wu Qiangwei didn't seem in a hurry anymore and asked, "Going to meet your little girlfriend?"
Wang Dahai smiled, keeping silent while Wu Qiangwei said, "Go then. I'll call you when I'm done."
"Okay."
After she left, Wang Dahai bought a cup of milk tea and headed straight to the school.
Upon arrival, he texted Bai Ruyi: "Come out."
"You're at the school?"
Wang Dahai snapped a photo of the milk tea.
"I won't drink it. It'll make me gain weight."
"Drinking it once in a while won't, and getting plumper is nicer to look at, I like plump."
"Smooth talker, wait for me."
Ten minutes later, Bai Ruyi arrived. She looked somewhat pale and walked slowly, appearing not in the best state.
"Feeling unwell?"
"A bit of menstrual pain," Bai Ruyi took the milk tea and said, "Don't buy it next time; eating too much sweet stuff can make you gain weight."
She suddenly noticed the security guard looking their way, and whispered, "Don't come to the school next time, it's not good to be seen like this."
Wang Dahai also noticed someone looking their way and realized that such rumors could hurt her image at school.
"Okay, we'll find another place next time."
After leaving school, Wang Dahai thought about it and decided to drive back to the yoga studio.
He hadn't been there for several days and as soon as he arrived, a few yoga instructors clustered around him: "Dahai, where have you been these past few days?"
"Were you sick?"
"There were customers asking for you every day. We thought you had quit."
Wang Dahai responded with smiles and asked, "Is Mrs. Liu here?"
"In the office."
Wang Dahai headed straight for the office, and upon entering, saw her holding her phone, a blissful smile on her face.
No need to ask, she must have been talking with Mr. Liu.
Seeing Wang Dahai, Liu Lin quickly said a few words into the phone and hung up.
"Dahai, why didn't you knock?" Liu Lin frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.
Wang Dahai hummed in response, noticing some changes in her behavior toward him.
He walked over and directly asked, "Mrs. Liu, what's going on between you and Mr. Liu now?"
Liu Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, "What are you talking about? There's nothing... between us."
Seemingly worried he wouldn't believe her, Liu Lin quickly embraced him and reached for his trousers, diverting the topic: "Dahai, we haven't been intimate for a long time."
But Wang Dahai clearly felt that her actions were stiff, and she seemed resistant to having such intimate interactions with him.
A strange emotion suddenly surged in Wang Dahai's heart. He spun her around to face the desk, pressed her down, grabbed her yoga pants, and pulled them down.
With a thrust of his hips, he was upon her, grinding against her.
Liu Lin, with her hand against his chest trying to stop him, said, "Dahai, don't... I don't want this today... Ah!"
