My Dongguan Love Story

As soon as I finished speaking, Li Qing and Lin Huimin immediately looked at Wu Jiandong.

Wu Jiandong felt the gazes of Li Qing and Lin Huimin, and then looked at me with a wicked grin. His expression gradually darkened.

Making him sit as a chair for Dazhuang was utterly humiliating in front of his goddess.

He definitely can't do it. But if he loses and doesn't honor his promise, what's the difference between that and cheating?

Sigh! For now, I can only pretend I don't remember anything and deliberately ignore what I said. Head down, I turned and took a step forward with my right leg, ready to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, I grinned mischievously and deliberately raised my voice, saying:

"Why are you leaving already? Didn't you just say that if I knew Li Jianhui, you'd turn your head down so I could sit on it? Now you don't need to turn your head down. How about this, you lie down on the ground and act as a stool so I can sit on it."

I crossed my legs and looked at him smugly.

Seeing my state, Wu Jiandong was furious. He had completely lost face in front of his goddess, and there was absolutely no chance for him and Li Qing anymore. Since that was the case, what did it matter if he cheated?

He was both angry and annoyed, his face was ashen, and he walked quickly, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

But I wasn't about to let him get away with it. As he passed by me, I slowly extended my right foot.

Wu Jiandong was not paying attention and stumbled forward, waving his arms wildly a few times before grabbing the table next to him to steady himself.

But when he slammed his hand on the table, he knocked over the coffee, splattering coffee stains all over him.

Wu Jiandong hurriedly brushed the debris off his clothes. Remembering that I had deliberately tripped him, his anger surged to his head, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

But seeing my tall and strong physique, he knew he was no match for me and could only leave with a dark face.

Watching Wu Jiandong slink away, Li Qing's previously gloomy mood immediately improved considerably.

Lin Huimin smiled broadly, held Li Qing's hand, and thanked her repeatedly.

"Li Qing, thank goodness you were here this time, otherwise Guangyuan Building Materials would have been finished."

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. I'm also a member of Guangyuan Building Materials. I'll always remember the great kindness you showed me!"

Lin Huimin was very happy to see Li Qing's sincere response, realizing that she hadn't misjudged her.

After looking me up and down, she exclaimed, "You really found a great boyfriend. Dazhuang is not only capable, but also handsome!"

Upon hearing her words, Li Qing's face flushed involuntarily, and she explained:

"Mr. Lin, actually Dazhuang isn't my boyfriend; he's my ex-husband's cousin. The reason I had him pretend to be my boyfriend was to stop Wu Jiandong from making any moves on me."

Li Qing's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until it was barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

In reality, she was afraid that Lin Huimin would be angry because of her deception.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Huimin felt no anger, but rather a strange sense of joy. She glanced at Dazhuang and then at Li Qing, asking uncertainly, "Is it all an act?"

Seeing Li Qing nod with her head down, she couldn't help but think that having a boyfriend like Dazhuang would be great—tall, robust, and with striking features. Not only was he handsome, but he was also very knowledgeable. All of these qualities were exactly what she admired most.

After graduating from university, she came to Dongguan alone to work hard, and stayed there for eight years. She worked day and night every day, but never met a suitable man.

But ordinary men wouldn't be interested in a career-oriented woman like her. Even wealthy men might not be interested in her.

After all, wealthy men either want to keep a kept woman or find a woman who takes care of the home and manages things for them.

She naturally wouldn't be interested in a capable and wealthy man like her who works, socializes, and travels all day, and is rarely home.

Of course, there are also some men who use the guise of dating to try and take advantage of her sexually.

But after so many years in the workforce, she had developed an extremely cautious habit, and was wary of every man who got close to her. That's why she's been single for 29 years.

Meeting Dazhuang now filled her with joy, and her heart suddenly started pounding. She knew she had fallen for Dazhuang.

Although it was her first time liking someone, she didn't know how to make the other person like her back, so she could only try to create opportunities to spend time together. Therefore, she warmly invited him:

"Dazhuang, Li Qing, thank you so much this time. It's almost noon, let me treat you to lunch."

Hearing Lin Huimin's enthusiastic response, Li Qing smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need, no need."

I replied politely, "You're welcome, Mr. Lin."

When Lin Huimin heard that we were too embarrassed to refuse, she smiled, stood up, and took Li Qing's hand: "Let's go! Let's go! I heard that the hot pot on the third floor is pretty good, let's go try it."

"Uh! Okay."

Li Qing stood up and walked hand in hand with Lin Huimin to my side, patting my shoulder: "Dazhuang, let's have hot pot together!"

"I'd rather obey than be overly respectful," I nodded and stood up.

When Lin Huimin saw that I had agreed, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she looked at me with love in her eyes.

I felt Lin Huimin's intense gaze and couldn't understand what was wrong with her.

Just as I was wondering, Lin Huimin suddenly moved closer and took my arm, pressing against me. I felt a thunderbolt trembling on my arm. I couldn't refuse, so I could only tighten my legs and let her take my arm.

Seeing Lin Huimin suddenly become close to me, Li Qing seemed to realize that Lin Huimin might have fallen for me, and smiled without saying a word.

He thought to himself that this kid was quite capable; he had only been in Dongguan for a few days and had already won over Tang Yan. Now, his well-informed boss had a different opinion of him.

The three of us, each with our own thoughts, went up to the hot pot restaurant on the third floor and found a seat by the window.

As soon as I sat down, Lin Huimin thoughtfully asked me what I liked to eat and what I didn't like to eat, holding the menu.

I'm not a picky eater, so I let them order whatever they like. Then I took out my phone and sent a text message to Editor-in-Chief Li:

"Mr. Li, thank you for today."

A few minutes later, Mr. Li replied via text message: "No problem."

When Lin Huimin saw me take out my phone, she immediately asked, "Dazhuang, what's your number?"

"13..." I subconsciously gave her the phone number, she called back, and then continued chatting with Li Qing.

While chatting, Lin Huimin subtly inquired about my situation from Li Qing, but after getting my phone number, she was too embarrassed to ask me directly if I had a girlfriend!

Li Qing hesitated whether to tell her that she had a girlfriend, afraid that she might overthink things and feel awkward!

While Li Qing hesitated, all the dishes were served and the pot was boiling, so she started eating.

At the dinner table, apart from Lin Huimin occasionally putting meat on my plate and exchanging a few pleasantries with me, Li Qing seemed lost in thought, eating her rice with her head down.

After dinner, Lin Huimin rushed to Jiangxia Bank to extend her loan, so she left first. Before leaving, she gestured to me as if she were making a phone call and said:

"Dazhuang, keep in touch."

I politely waved my hand and said, "Okay."

After seeing Lin Huimin off, her cousin-in-law couldn't help but say, "Dazhuang, how come you're so popular? It seems like our CEO Lin has taken a liking to you!"
