Standing outside my door, I glanced at the neighboring one, biting my lip to suppress my heartache.
Weakly, I took out my key and opened the door.
I was so tired and hungry, wanting to cry.
Suddenly, Ye Zhengchen appeared behind me, grabbing my hand. “You’re finally back! Come, follow me.”
He pulled me up to the rooftop without explanation. The city’s night view was breathtaking, with bluish-white lights merging with starlight.
The clean rooftop had a grill emitting gentle smoke. I couldn’t imagine how someone with an injured hand managed to bring everything up.
“Haven’t eaten dinner yet?” he asked, handing me a just-grilled steak. “Try the young master’s cooking skills.”
I took a bite, feeling my nose ache.
“How is it? Tasty?” he asked nervously. “This is the first time I’ve cooked for a woman. You’re not allowed to say it’s not good!”
I swallowed the tender steak and couldn’t help but cry.
He hurriedly hugged me. “I know my cooking is terrible. You said it was okay; no need to cry so heartbrokenly!”
I lay on his shoulder, clinging to him tightly.
There are some men who, even knowing they are toxic, you just can’t quit!
“Sweetie, did that old Fujii scold you again? Don’t cry. One day I’ll get revenge for you.”
“No!” I shook my head. “I miss home. I want to go home!”
“Okay! We’ll go back to our country together. I’ll open a hospital, I’ll be the director…”
“Really?” I looked up at him. “Then I’ll follow you…”
“Deal! I’ll let you be the hospital director’s wife!”
“Go away! I’d rather never get married than marry a man who’s always flirting.”
“If I marry another woman, don’t regret it later!”
Regret? Without having tried, how could I not regret? But having tried and fought, what difference would it make? I was never his final destination.
“Senior, can’t you be serious?” I wiped my tears and lowered my head to eat steak.
“Sure!” He sat beside me, pulling out a luxurious watch that perfectly matched the one he was wearing. “For you!”
He gripped my shoulders, turning me to face him, the moonlight revealing his true emotions. He was about to speak when the phone rang.
