My Dongguan Love Story

Hearing my cousin's wife's sarcastic words, I turned to her and said with a smile, "Cousin's wife, I bought the small steamed buns you wanted; they're in the bag."

My cousin's wife's face flushed instantly. She glared at me, puffed out her chest slightly, and said, both embarrassed and angry, "Hmph, you're blind!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the coffee table.

As she walked, she muttered to herself, wondering: Could Dazhuang really only buy small steamed buns? Ever since he came to Dongguan, he's become so slick and cunning, never saying a serious word.

She secretly pursed her lips, thinking that her figure was far from being considered "small and plump." While not exceptionally full, she was definitely outstanding among others.

Sitting down at the coffee table, I reached out and opened the bag. Inside, I saw hot soy milk and a large meat bun. I couldn't help but smile. I thought to myself, "This kid always teases people, but he's really thoughtful. He actually bought me a big meat bun."

She was eating breakfast, glancing into the room every now and then. Our eyes met, and she immediately blushed, lowering her head shyly to continue eating. The annoyance in her head seemed to dissipate considerably.

After spending these two days together, she already understands perfectly well that I fed Su Qin porridge purely out of guilt, and that I had no other intentions whatsoever.

This morning I caught them sleeping together. Da Zhuang must have fallen asleep on the sofa first, and then Su Qin leaned over. If they really had feelings for each other, they could have just stayed in their room and been cuddling without anyone bothering them. To be frank, it's all a misunderstanding.

After Li Qing finished breakfast, she went back to her room to change her clothes. As she walked to the door, she told me, "Da Zhuang, I'm going to work. Behave yourself and don't cause any trouble."

I understood what she meant immediately and nodded in agreement, "Go ahead and don't worry, it'll be fine."

She glanced at Su Qin beside her, hummed in response, turned and left, closing the iron gate behind her.

The room fell silent. With no one else around, Su Qin relaxed considerably. No longer waiting for me to feed her the porridge, she reached out and gently took my hand, raising her head and mustering her courage to speak:

"Dazhuang, why won't you be my boyfriend? Don't worry, I won't interfere in your private life, and I won't mention our relationship in front of others, is that alright?"

In her mind, she had already yielded to this extent, lowered her stance, and given me enough face.

She doesn't care about my private life, nor does she assert her ownership of me to others. In public, she refers to herself as a friend. In her mind, these terms are a complete bargain for me; even if I'm done with her and then leave, she can't do anything about it. With such good terms, I should logically have agreed.

I was genuinely stunned when I heard her words. I hadn't expected Su Qin to go to such lengths to get me to be her boyfriend. But I don't like juggling multiple relationships; I just want a stable, peaceful one, so I firmly rejected her.

"Secretary Su, I have a girlfriend now. I don't want to associate with anyone else anymore. I just want to settle down and be with my girlfriend properly."

Su Qin rolled her eyes inwardly and thought to herself: Who would believe you? You have an ambiguous relationship with President Zhao, and you're still entangled with Lin Guilian from the hospital. You're surrounded by a bunch of women.

This is more than just two-timing; now he's pretending to be honest and devoted in front of me. Does he really think I don't know the truth?

She only dared to think these words in her heart, and never dared to say a word out loud.

She calmed herself down, looked up, and said softly, "Dazhuang, it won't matter if I'm one more."

I sighed softly, "I don't want to let my girlfriend down, and I don't want to hold you back."

As soon as I finished speaking, I prepared to get up. Su Qin immediately reached out and grabbed me. With a slight pull, I lost my balance and fell into her arms.

I leaned against her, feeling the soft warmth against my body, and suddenly felt a little awkward. I tried to get up quickly, but Su Qin held me tightly.

She held me tightly, her voice unusually firm: "Don't get up, just hold me like this, okay?"

I sighed helplessly, looking up at her with a sense of utter exasperation: "Secretary Su, please don't be like this!"

Before I could finish speaking, she leaned in and kissed me, her lips still carrying the faint sweetness of congee. Then she took my hand and placed it on her body, pulling me close.

I felt like I'd been electrocuted, and I hurriedly pulled my hand back, immediately turning my head away. I said, "Secretary Su, we really aren't suitable for each other. We can't do this."

Seeing this, Secretary Su hugged me again, looking at me with a firm gaze: "Dazhuang, how will you know it's not suitable if you don't try?"

I stared into her stubborn eyes, and my heart skipped a beat. But the thought was immediately suppressed.

I shook my head and refused, saying, "Even if it's suitable, it won't work. I promised my girlfriend I wouldn't mess around anymore. Besides, I can't hold you back; I have to be responsible for you."

Su Qin rolled her eyes after hearing this, thinking to herself: What do you mean by not messing around? Why didn't you say that when you were entangled with President Zhao and the others!

The more she thought about it, the more resentful she became. Seeing that I was about to push her away and get away, she simply stopped hiding it and hurriedly said, "You already have President Zhao and the others, what difference will it make if I'm one more?"

I was stunned when I heard this, and subconsciously stopped struggling. I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute her question.

Seeing that I was about to give in, Su Qin hugged me and gently rocked me, pleading in a soft voice, "Just one more, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned in to kiss me again. As soon as our lips touched, I immediately pulled away from her embrace and shook my head repeatedly, saying, "You should rest and stop overthinking."

Su Qin's face darkened instantly after I pushed her away. She felt wronged, realizing that even though she had taken the initiative, Da Zhuang still refused.

She wanted to try again, but seeing my firm stance, she gave up and softened her tone: "Don't call me Secretary Su anymore. I'm no longer working at Dingsheng. Just call me Su Qin from now on."

I nodded slightly.

She looked up at me again and whispered, "Oh, and don't forget, you still owe me a date."

I instantly realized what had happened. She had helped me save Mr. Zhao last time, and I had indeed promised her a date.

I always keep my word, so I definitely wouldn't go back on my word. But fearing she might take the date too far, I quickly made things clear beforehand: "Okay, a date is fine. But we'll just have a meal and chat. You can't do anything inappropriate or touch me."

Su Qin was so angry she laughed, glaring at me and saying, "Who's the man and who's the woman between us? You think I'd take advantage of you?"

I gave an awkward dry laugh, didn't reply, picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table, walked out of the room, and threw them into the living room trash can.

I had just finished my work when my phone suddenly rang in my pocket. I took it out and saw that the caller was Lin Tao.

I suddenly remembered that Lin Tao had made plans with me last night to go to the Canal Shopping Mall today. I immediately pressed the answer button.

Lin Tao's urgent and anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Dazhuang, come quick! I've found Li Jianzhong!"
