It was just as expected, that Qing Muy野 was no good.
"No, no, no, no, we're brothers, but we're clear about accounts. My company supports dozens of employees, and the wedding venue decoration was all top-of-the-line imported goods, which are very expensive. You can hit me, but you absolutely cannot give me a discount!"
Three hundred million, a single percent discount is thirty million.
He could be broken, but never discounted!
Qing Muy野's handsome face held a faint smile, "Hit you? Have you thought about whether you want to hit your left cheek or your right cheek?"
"Come, come, take your pick of which cheek to hit."
Meng Jing Wei threw caution to the wind and pushed her face right into his, daring him to hit her.
Looking at the little woman so close, her collar-length short hair naturally falling by her earlobes, amidst the waterfall-like dark hair was a fair, jade-like oval face, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, her lashes long and curled like butterfly wings fluttering. Especially her moist, clear eyes, lively and spirited, both playful and adorable.
When she smiled, she was just like the girl next door, so pure and likable; when she was serious, not smiling, her bright face held a hint of aloofness, giving off a "keep away" distance that he couldn't extricate himself from.
A combination of innocence and aloofness, yet without any sense of incongruity.
In this world, how could there be such a woman?
Qing Muy野 never imagined that one day, he would actually be conquered by a woman.
"Hit me! Hurry up and hit me, after you hit me, I won't have to discount." Meng Jing Wei looked at him and asked again.
Hearing her words, Qing Muy野 couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and swung his hand down quickly. Meng Jing Wei, seeing the momentum, immediately closed her eyes.
However, she didn't feel a slap, but rather the man's warm palm covering her cheek, gently stroking her face with tenderness.
Meng Jing Wei frowned and pushed him away, "Qing Muy野, are you taking advantage of me?"
Stumbled back by the push, the man's handsome face turned cold. He grabbed her arm, pulled her forward, and brought his thumb up to her nose, "Smell it, what's that smell?"
"Pfft, it stinks. Did you wipe your hand after pooping?" Meng Jing Wei covered her nose with disgust, extremely resistant.
Qing Muy野 nodded solemnly, took a tissue from the table to wipe his hand, "I haven't been to the toilet."
"Then why does it smell so bad?"
"You'll have to ask yourself."
"Ask... ask me?"
Meng Jing Wei was startled at first, then instinctively reached out and touched her face, only to discover her cheeks were wet.
She sniffed her nose again, and indeed... it stank...
So, was this her drool.
She was mortally embarrassed.
"Hehehehe, I fell asleep, sorry, hahaha."
She quickly grabbed a few tissues to wipe her face.
As she was wiping, she caught sight of Qing Muy野's undisguised smile on his face. Her small face stiffened, "What are you smiling about? Did you not drool when you slept? Honestly!"
The man immediately suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice, "Wipe it properly, don't get poop on your hands."
Qing Muy野 had never imagined he would utter such vulgar words so directly.
"Get lost!"
"You're the one who said it."
Qing Muy野 shrugged, spread his hands, in an "it's none of my business" posture.
Meng Jing Wei was so amused she started laughing at herself.
Such a playful and lively girl, though her words were crude, she was not affected or pretentious, but straightforward and generous, making it difficult not to like her.
Qing Muy野 looked at her, only feeling his heart accelerate. For a moment, he really wanted to embrace her.
But he dared not.
He suddenly remembered the first time he met this woman, how he had been so unrestrained and deeply hurt her.
He did not want to see her hurt look again.
So, this was the taste of loving someone you could not have.
"Hey, Qing Muy野, what are you thinking? I called you, did you hear me?"
Meng Jing Wei spoke to Qing Muy野 several times, but he stood still, staring at her blankly.
She waved her hand in front of him. Seeing no reaction, she reached out and nudged Qing Muy野.
The man, lost in thought, finally came back to his senses, "How is it, is the wedding venue decoration all done?"
"All sorted."
Meng Jing Wei made an "ok" gesture with her hand, "Don't even think about skimming a single cent from me."
"That's good. Let's go, I'll take you for a late-night snack."
"Okay, I'm starving anyway."
After all, he was the big patron. Knowing it was her wedding planning company, Meng Jing Wei became even more hesitant to provoke Qing Muy野.
The wedding would end tomorrow, and the final payment was in sight. If she offended Qing Muy野 now, it wouldn't be worthwhile.
The two left the company, got into Qing Muy野's car, and drove out.
"What do you want to eat?" Qing Muy野 asked.
Meng Jing Wei thought for a moment and said fawningly, "You're my big patron now, so I'll treat you. Let's just eat something simple, and you have your wedding tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early."
"What are your thoughts on me marrying her?"
Qing Muy野 was driving, and after a moment of hesitation, he suddenly asked.
Meng Jing Wei, sitting in the passenger seat, let out a cold snort, "What does your marriage to her have to do with me? As long as you keep your woman in check, I have no thoughts about it."
A scumbag deserves a bitch; a perfect match.
Her answer, though unexpected, was within reason.
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Qing Muy野's face.
He was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "From now on, what are your plans? Have you thought about leaving Lan City?"
"Of course... Forget it, maybe I won't leave."
Originally, Meng Jing Wei really wanted to leave Lan City and never see the Li family again.
But after opening this wedding planning company, she had tasted the benefits and wanted to continue running it.
Tomorrow, although it was Qing Muy野's wedding, it was also an opportunity for her company's promotion and publicity, which would attract a lot of business.
A good life with a booming income was coming, why should she leave?
She definitely wasn't leaving.
"Lan City is not suitable for you."
After a moment of silence, Qing Muy野 finally said.
As soon as his words fell, Meng Jing Wei instantly bristled, "Qing Muy野, are you crazy? You were the one who asked me to come to Lan City, and now you're asking me to leave. What's going on, is Lan City your family's? You want me to come, so I come, and you want me to leave, so I have to leave?"
Damn it, do rich people really think they can control everything?
She was furious, but Qing Muy野 looked straight ahead, seemingly unfazed.
However, upon closer observation, one could see his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, showing a degree of restraint.
From childhood, Qing Muy野 had been an extremely goal-oriented person. Whatever he wanted, he would obtain it by any means necessary.
But now that he had everything, he found that what he truly wanted was... Meng Jing Wei!
Li Yun Er had saved his life, and now she was carrying his child. His grandmother, suffering from Alzheimer's, wanted to hold her grandchild.
All these factors did not allow him to break off the engagement.
This was his responsibility, his promise, which he had to fulfill.
Weighing the pros and cons, there would inevitably be gains and losses.
Did he still have a choice?
No.
Being in the Qing family, he had to fulfill his duties.
