Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian lowered her face slightly, concealing the bitterness in her eyes.

She also asked herself, what is her relationship with Fu Zhengting?

Although she dialed the wrong number and mistook the person, she ended up having a relationship with Fu Zhengting by chance, which should have been considered a transactional relationship before.

I don't know if it counts now.

If Fu Zhengting terminates the transaction because of this, she will have to return the 500,000 yuan and the money transferred to him.

Just consider it a short, beautiful dream. Now that the dream is over, it's time to start working hard to make money.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian hadn't answered, Han Qikai could sense her disappointment. With a hint of probing, he asked again, "Did you and Fu Zhengting have a falling out?"

Mu Tiantian looked up at Han Qikai, shocked that he had guessed so easily.

Han Qikai raised his hand and tapped Mu Tiantian's eyes. "You look so disappointed. How could I not see through you?"

The girl is a very genuine person; she doesn't hide her feelings, and you can see her emotions on her face.

He really liked her big, bright eyes.

These eyes are filled with tenderness and love.

He could tell she was a kind and good person just by looking at her.

This kind of gentleness is what he wants.

He had a bad relationship with his scumbag father. Although his mother was good to him, she was too weak-willed. From the time he was a teenager and began to understand the adult world, he was unwilling to stay at home for long, and his relationship with his mother gradually cooled.

He has many friends and classmates, but they are all just trying to curry favor with him. There are not many who are truly sincere, so he doesn't open up to them.

He wanted to find a gentle woman.

That way I won't feel so lonely.

Mu Tiantian perfectly matched his ideal type.

Ever since I went back to school from the convention center, I've been dreaming about her every night.

He dreamt of her giving up her seat to a pregnant woman on the bus with a kind and sweet smile, and of her standing and waiting to get off the bus with her back to him, her serene and peaceful demeanor captivating him and unforgettable.

During training, just thinking about posing back-to-back with her makes me feel less tired.

I was thinking of taking advantage of the fact that I didn't have to stay at school for training this Sunday to go for a drive and see if I could run into Mu Tiantian, and I didn't expect to actually run into her.

Is it God's help that's working for him?

He always keeps his word; if he says he's going to poach Fu Zhengting's employees, he'll definitely succeed.

Here comes the opportunity to poach talent!

Although we don't know what happened between Fu Zhengting and Mu Tiantian, we can guess from Mu Tiantian's dejected state that something must have happened that seriously affected their relationship.

Mu Tiantian blinked. She was never good at pretending or hiding her true feelings. One of her colleagues at the food factory was a bit arrogant and difficult to get along with. When she first joined the company, he made things difficult for her, so she disliked him very much. She felt physically and mentally repulsed when working together, and she couldn't even pretend to be friendly.

However, the survival rules of the workplace mean you can't afford to break off all pretense; sometimes you have to pretend even if you don't want to.

People who are good at disguising themselves are usually quite shrewd. Shrewd people are good at scheming, and she fears this kind of person the most. They may seem polite on the surface, but they might stab you in the back when you're not looking.

Now, in Fu Zhengting's mind, she must have become this kind of calculating person!

I can't help but think of Fu Zhengting, and it makes me feel bad.

Not wanting to reveal her emotions too completely in front of Han Qikai, she smiled to hide the disappointment in her eyes and asked uncertainly, "Why do you ask that?"

Although she has never been in a relationship, she is not a clueless teenage girl.

From that day at the convention center, she felt that Han Qikai's gaze towards her was strange.

I left in a hurry that day and didn't think about this issue in detail.

Meeting Mu Tiantian's probing gaze, Han Qikai confessed directly, "Because I like you!"

He is also a genuine person, straightforward, unable to pretend at all, and unable to keep anything to himself.

If you like someone, you should be bold and brave enough to tell them.

Mu Tiantian was stunned for a moment.

Is Han Qikai confessing his feelings to her?

This is the first time a boy has confessed his feelings to me.

He's also a handsome sports student with such high looks.

There's a bit of vanity in me.

She does have fans.

Moreover, Han Qikai is the third son of the Han family's car company, so people in the automotive industry must be from very wealthy families.

She didn't know at first; she only found out unintentionally when she received the money transfer from Sister Fang and chatted with her.

Being liked by a rich young master sounds like a dream.

If you can't clear up the misunderstanding with Fu Zhengting to get a job, then being with Han Qikai is also a good option.

So if the mother experiences any sudden health problems later on, there won't be any fear of not having the money for treatment.

But she didn't like Han Qikai. Being with him against her will was unfair to Han Qikai, and she wouldn't be happy either.

Although Han Qikai is handsome and young, her younger brother has never been within her criteria for choosing a partner.

Compared to the younger Han Qikai, she preferred Fu Zhengting, who was a full twelve years older than her.

Should we follow our hearts, or compromise with money and reality?

She didn't have an answer for a moment.

Not knowing how to respond to Han Qikai, she remained silent for a long moment before asking softly, "Are you serious?"

"Does it look fake?" Han Qikai asked back with amusement.

He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding with nervousness.

After all, it was the first time he had confessed his feelings to a girl.

Afraid that Mu Tiantian would refuse, he took her hand and placed it on his heart, wanting her to feel his strong heartbeat. His eyes gradually hardened, and he repeated earnestly, "Mu Tiantian, I like you. I'm serious. I can guarantee it with my life!"

Mu Tiantian was shocked by Han Qikai's serious attitude.

She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Han Qikai gripped it tightly to prevent her from doing so.

Mu Tiantian couldn't pull her hand away; the skin on her palm was chafed and a little sore from being gripped. Her hand was pressed against the man's heart through the thin fabric of his t-shirt, and she could feel his heart beating very fast.

At Han Qikai's age, he should be considered a boy, not a man.

Just by touching it, you can feel how firm the pectoral muscles are.

It was hard and stiff, like touching a piece of iron.

Being with a guy like that would probably make me feel very safe when I go out!

It was Han Qikai's first time confessing his feelings, so he was inevitably nervous and excited, but he still calmly and honestly said what was on his mind: "Ever since I saw you on the bus, I've liked you. After I went back to school, I posted online to find you, but unfortunately there were no photos of you, so it was hard for netizens to find you."

Mu Tiantian was shocked once again.

I never expected Han Qikai to be so serious and persistent with her.

It's the first time someone of the opposite sex has liked me like this; I'm a little flattered and touched.

"I never expected to run into you at the auto show. I didn't want to go that day, but I don't know why I ended up going anyway..." Han Qikai sighed, and couldn't help but laugh at the end.

"This shows that there is a deep connection between us." He gripped Mu Tiantian's hand again, the smile in his eyes fading, replaced by a firm and ardent gaze.

Mu Tiantian hissed softly as her palm stung again.

Han Qikai then noticed that Mu Tiantian was injured. He quickly released her hand and saw that the palms of both her hands were scraped and bleeding from one hand. He held Mu Tiantian's wrist tightly, afraid of hurting her, and gently blew on it. He looked up at Mu Tiantian and asked, "How did you get this?"
