Ma Ruixi’s shoulders trembled, not daring to look at Pei Qing’s face. Her hands, trembling unwillingly, were about to take the wine glass from him when Pei Qing flipped his hand and splashed the contents onto her face!
The wine streamed down her cheeks and hair. She closed her eyes. Xiao Jie had brought several paper towels and was about to wipe her face when Pei Qing grabbed the glass and smashed it at Xiao Jie’s head.
Bang!
The glass was quite sturdy. Not only did it not shatter, but it also gashed Xiao Jie’s back of the head, from which scarlet droplets constantly oozed. Seeing the blood, Pei Qing became even more fierce and unruly. He picked up the empty wine bottle, ready to smash it at Xiao Jie!
"Fuck! Don't you get punished for making mistakes? Who the hell do you think you are?"
The wine bottle landed on Xiao Jie's head again. After suffering two heavy blows, Xiao Jie slumped down in front of everyone.
"Xiao Jie!"
Pei Qing kicked away Ma Ruixi, who was bending down, and stomped his big leather shoes twice into Xiao Jie's waist and abdomen. "Your mom, are you faking death?"
Pei Qing not only had no intention of calling for an ambulance but instead flipped over the table beside him. He then pulled out a handgun from his back waist, aiming it at Xiao Jie, whose life and death were unknown!
"President Pei, please calm down, calm down!" His male secretary stood behind him, speaking timidly.
Unexpectedly, Pei Qing slapped him backhand, then yanked the secretary by his hair, pointing the gun at his head, and sneered, "You dare to speak now, have you grown bold? Believe it or not, I'll shoot you dead!"
No one dared to speak. They all felt that Pei Qing had transformed into a ferocious, murderous god. If anyone dared to utter another word, they would likely be shot!
Pei Qing, growing more ferocious, pushed the secretary aside. Holding the gun, he swept it across his subordinates and his harem of girls one by one. Everyone’s faces turned ashen. The women, their beauty overshadowed by terror, dared not cry out. Pei Qing felt immensely exhilarated for a moment, finally pointing the muzzle at Xiao Jie.
"Faking death, huh? I'll count to three. If you don't get up, I'll really shoot!"
Everyone knew Pei Qing’s character. He always kept his word and was never ambiguous. The more thrilling something was, the more interested he became.
"One!"
Xiao Jie remained motionless. Ma Ruixi, like a bird with broken wings, half-crouched beside Xiao Jie, trembling slightly. Everyone adjusted their breathing, suppressed their heartbeats, and watched their President Pei with knitted brows.
"Two!"
Pei Qing’s lips curled up, his pupils almost stained red with blood, like a perverted serial killer reaching physiological climax after torturing the deceased!
Everyone swallowed. Cold sweat had already seeped through their shirts from their backs. Even with the central air conditioning on, everyone felt as if they were on a Flaming Mountain, parched and with pounding hearts, yet no one dared to step forward and say a word.
"Three!"
As this sound rang out, Xiao Jie still showed no signs of movement. Suddenly, thunder rumbled from the dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads, and Pei Qing pulled the trigger…
Squelch~
A stream of water, glinting coldly, splashed onto Xiao Jie.
"Hahahaha, look at your expressions, it's so amusing! What do you think? This simulated gun that cost ten thousand is really awesome!" Pei Qing roared with laughter, as if he were about to burst.
"Water, a water gun?" The secretary’s expression finally became a little better. He panted like an ox, his forced smile revealing a sense of utter exhaustion.
Everyone chimed in with forced laughter. Pei Qing shot water streams at everyone on both sides with both hands, then grabbed Ma Ruixi again, his palms repeatedly slapping her face. "Now you know the consequences of making mistakes. Get lost. I have no interest in a woman whose parents are dead."
…
Ma Ruixi walked back to her neighborhood for half an hour, following closely behind. The not-yet-grown camphor trees drooped their heads, their leaves curled like caterpillars due to the stuffy weather.
Although it was past midnight, the summer heat was still scorching.
But Ma Ruixi felt cold.
The night was hazy, and light spots dappled the ground like scattered silver through the gaps in the trees. She was like a walking corpse, dragging herself back into her own house.
The indoor temperature showed 32 degrees Celsius, but she felt cold. After slamming the door, she hid back in her warm bed and wrapped herself in a thick quilt.
But her body still trembled with cold.
In reality, it wasn't her body that was cold. What was cold to the bone was her heart, filled with extreme fear.
The smell of alcohol on her body made her extremely uncomfortable. After much effort, she felt the urge to vomit.
She slowly got up, clutching her cold stomach, and quickly rushed to the bathroom, vomiting violently.
The feeling of suffocation, accompanied by a chilling bitterness, felt like death itself, almost taking her life. Moreover, she hadn't eaten after working overtime, and this bout of vomiting felt like she was expelling her entire stomach.
After washing her face, she looked around the empty house. The晴天娃娃 (Sunny Doll) hung its head, swaying like a hanged ghost in the hot wind. The refrigerator emitted a faint blue light, like a door that imprisoned an evil spirit; once opened, malevolent spirits and demons would swarm out. The tomatoes on the dining table had naturally cracked due to the high temperature, their ugly fissures resembling the tearing of a heart.
An indescribable sense of loneliness swirled into a deadly aura, engulfing Ma Ruixi.
"If I really had a boyfriend who doted on me and protected me, I wouldn't have ended up like this today, would I?"
Ma Ruixi wasn't stubborn; she simply hadn't found the right person. Otherwise, with her looks, how could she still be alone at this age?
Just as her obsession reached its peak, her phone suddenly vibrated, startling her so much that she almost collapsed to the ground.
"Who's texting so late?"
Ma Ruixi guessed it was Xiao Jie, whom she was worried about. Taking out her phone, she saw a text message with a link.
"Do you need a boyfriend? Customizable! Any harsh conditions can be met, capable of attending formal events, proficient in the kitchen, presentable in public, and intimate in private. DiDi Date is dedicated to serving you. Just click the link, enter your desired boyfriend criteria, the date of the date, click send, and you'll receive love. What are you waiting for? Ten miles of red dowry have been laid out for you, click me quickly. To unsubscribe, please reply with 'td'."
"DiDi Date? How unreliable does that sound?"
The more Ma Ruixi thought this, the more she couldn't control her hand. She successfully clicked the link and confidently typed "perfect boyfriend" into the selection box and sent it.
"Even if it's just a dream, it would be nice. Otherwise, I really don't know how I'll face that demon at the company tomorrow."
…
In the early morning, the scorching sun had already begun to display its formidable power, but Ren Yuanhao was still fast asleep, the room filled with the lingering smell of alcohol.
"DiDi, third warning unsuccessful, direct electrotherapy implemented!"
In a dream, Ren Yuanhao transformed into a sparrow, soaring with its wings spread.
Squelch~
The sparrow instantly turned into a burnt chicken with puffed-up feathers and black smoke!
"I, I, what, what's going on?"
Ren Yuanhao sprang up from the bed like a stake. The sensation of his body being electrocuted felt 'comfortable' to him, like a little bird in the forest.
Oh, no, a burnt chicken.
