Tang Wanxing was taken aback, and instinctively turned her head to glance at the police officer, her eyes inexplicably stinging.
See.
Even a stranger would proactively offer a tissue.
This small gesture warmed Tang Wanxing's heart, deeply moving her, like charcoal in the snow.
The police officer looked to be twenty-six or twenty-seven, fair-skinned and radiating integrity, inexplicably giving her a sense of security.
Tang Wanxing looked at him, pondered for a few seconds, "What's your name?"
"Me?" Asked for his name, the police officer raised his hand and scratched his head, chuckling sheepishly. His smile was clean, clear, and untainted by worldly dust, "My name is Guo Rui."
"Can I have your contact information?" Tang Wanxing proactively took out her phone, "You scan me." She opened her WeChat QR code.
The police officer named Guo Rui sized her up, then glanced at Qing Muye, who was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed in feigned sleep. He slowly took out his phone, musing, *What does this rich young lady want?*
While thinking, he took out his phone and scanned her personal business card QR code.
Just as he was adding her as a friend, he heard Tang Wanxing abruptly say, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Ah? Uh... I..." Guo Rui shook his head, seeming to feel that Tang Wanxing's thoughts were too leapfrogging, and he couldn't quite keep up, "I haven't found a partner yet."
"I'll be your girlfriend."
Suddenly, Tang Wanxing uttered a jaw-dropping statement.
As soon as her words fell, Qing Muye, who had been leaning against the wall with his eyes closed resting, opened them. His ink-like eyes deepened, and he cast a meaningful glance at Tang Wanxing, then at the police officer named Guo Rui, before closing his eyes again to rest.
Whether Tang Wanxing was impulsive or acting deliberately, it had nothing to do with him.
"Miss Tang... Miss Tang, this... this isn't very appropriate, we've only just met." Guo Rui shook his head, refusing.
*Damn, this is too sudden.*
*She's the daughter of Tang Nian, the wealthiest man in the capital, and she wants to date me?*
*Good heavens, if I agreed to this, I could save myself three hundred years of detours in life.*
"Love is about fate," she said, raising her hand and showing her little finger stained with blood, "My left pinky finger is broken. If you don't mind, let's be a couple."
Guo Rui: "..."
*This is too abrupt!*
"If you don't answer, I'll assume you've agreed," Tang Wanxing said, stepping forward, and kissed him directly on the cheek. Then she stood upright and said softly, "Consider this a kiss to seal the deal. See you around."
With that, Tang Wanxing bypassed the police officer and elegantly left the detention room.
After walking out of the detention room, she couldn't help but stop and look back at Qing Muye, who was sitting in the empty detention room.
With just one glance, a throbbing pain spread through her heart, extending to her limbs, even making every pore ache.
That was the love of her life, and also someone she could never have.
Therefore, she chose to give up.
Despite the heart-wrenching pain, she had to forcefully suppress it; despite loving him to the bone, she still wanted to feign a carefree attitude of letting everything go.
*Crash—*
The detention room door slammed shut, and the previously noisy interior suddenly fell silent.
Qing Muye slowly opened his closed eyes. Those bottomless phoenix eyes were filled with unfathomable depth and fatigue.
Songyu Group.
President's Office.
Qing Sihai returned to the company with injuries to handle work, overwhelmed.
After a whole day of busyness, he finally finished the towering stack of documents and leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh of relief, gaining a moment of respite.
*Knock, knock, knock—*
At that moment, there was a knock on the office door. His assistant Xu Jiang pushed the door open and walked in, "President Qing, the CEO of Kunic Company from Country C wants to see you, saying he wants to discuss cooperation."
