Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Lu Beiting lowered his voice, his magnetic tone carrying a rare gentleness that could melt anyone's heart.

Lin Qian stared blankly at the man before her, sniffed, and forced back her surging tears, feigning calmness. "Why are you here?"

"I came to pick you up from get off work," Lu Beiting stared into her eyes, "but I couldn't find my baby and was worried something might have happened, so I had someone check the security footage."

He coaxed her softly, "I almost thought you'd been kidnapped by another man."

Lin Qian's bitter face finally broke into a smile.

She rubbed her sore eyes and shook her head. "I won't be kidnapped by anyone."

Her heart had been completely given to him a long, long time ago.

After saying that, Lu Beiting scooped the person up from the ground.

"ah…"

Lin Qian was caught off guard and thrown into the air. She cried out in surprise and pounded on his back, "Lu Beiting, what are you doing!"

"I'll kidnap you."

As he spoke, the man carried her and shoved her into the back seat of the Maybach.

Assistant Gao glanced in the rearview mirror, coughed twice, and looked away.

This is unbearable to watch! This young couple is really going overboard with their publicity stunts...

With the partition raised, the interior of the car was enveloped in a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.

Lu Beiting turned to look at her. "Why are you crying?"

Lin Qian looked into his dark and deep eyes, and for some reason, she felt a desire to convince him and confide in him.

"Xia Jichuan...he came to see me."

Lu Beiting frowned. "What does he want with you?"

Lin Qian: "Lu Beiting, he wants me to break up with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's doting expression instantly turned cold, and a strong sense of oppression spread around him.

separate.

These two words completely crossed the man's bottom line and touched his sore spot.

"So, what are you thinking, baby? Do you want to break up with me? Just because of someone insignificant?"

Lin Qian was about to speak.

Lu Beiting's expression darkened, and he immediately interrupted, "Lin Qian, listen to me, I don't agree to break up."

His reaction was overreacting.

Lin Qian paused, then said softly, "He wanted to give me an apartment and a bank card with one million yuan in it."

Lu Beiting's already cold face darkened further, and his attitude became exceptionally tough.

"I can give you that too, but you can't break up with me."

"I didn't want to break up," Lin Qian said. "I threw my bank card in his face."

Lu Beiting was stunned for a moment.

A strange emotion seemed to rise in his chest, spreading to every cell in his body.

Then, he pulled the person into his arms, pressing them tightly against his chest, suppressing the smile that was creeping onto his lips.

"Good job, girlfriend."

After saying that, he kissed Lin Qian's forehead. "A reward."

Lin Qian, sitting astride the man's lap, shifted uncomfortably and reached out to push him away.

"I cried because... well, I don't know why I cried. I just felt it was unfair. Why should I have to make a sacrifice? Why should I have to make way for Xia Tingshi's happiness...?"

"He even threatened me, saying he always had a way to make me leave the capital. He's my own father, yet he said such things like that to me..."

Lin Qian finished speaking with a sob in her voice, her eyes burning again. She bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

Lu Beiting suppressed the anger in his chest, pinched her cheek, and said, "Baby, if something like this happens again, you must tell me immediately. I'll back you up, okay?"

"Okay, I understand." Lin Qian nodded obediently.

Lu Beiting took out his phone and made a call to Xia Jichuan in front of her.

"Bei Ting, what brings you to call me?" Xia Jichuan was clearly surprised.

Unlike his deep and calm demeanor in front of Lin Qian, Xia Jichuan now wore a clearly ingratiating smile.

"I'll be blunt," Lu Beiting's voice was unusually cold, "Lin Qian is my girlfriend, and no one can separate us, not even her own father."

Xia Jichuan was silent for a moment, then said, "But Bei Ting, listen to your uncle. He said that you and Lin Qian are not a good match."

Lu Beiting's expression instantly turned icy cold, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his face devoid of any warmth.

Without a doubt, Xia Jichuan has stepped on a landmine once again.

Not suitable.

These three words are what he hates the most.

—Lu Beiting, we're not right for each other, let's break up.

What exactly is wrong with it?

"By what right do you say that?" Lu Beiting sneered. "Lin Qian's father? Sorry, you don't seem to be worthy of being her father."

"Bei Ting, blood ties cannot be severed. Besides, your father and I both believe that Shi Shi is more suitable for you. Or, if there's anything you don't like about Shi Shi, I'll tell her and ask her to change it, okay?"

Xia Jichuan promised, "After we get married, Shishi will definitely listen to you obediently. She likes you so much, why can't you even look back at her?"

Lin Qian felt a chill run through her heart upon hearing her father's words.

Although I've gotten used to it and expected it, I still can't help feeling uncomfortable, like a wet cotton ball is stuck in my throat, making it hard to swallow.

"I have absolutely no interest in Xia Tingshi, in fact, I loathe her," Lu Beiting said sarcastically.

"My dad is bad at judging people, but I'm very discerning. Just letting you know, our cooperation with the Xia Group will be completely terminated after this month, and we won't continue to cooperate in the future."

"What? Bei Ting, you..." Xia Jichuan panicked immediately, "Feelings are feelings, but let's not involve business, okay?"

"I'm sorry," Lu Beiting said arrogantly, "I'm just that kind of man who can't distinguish between public and private matters and who holds grudges. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just a warning."

Xia Jichuan stammered, "I..."

"Lin Qian is my bottom line. Don't force me to abandon all pretense of civility. If you dare threaten her again, I'll threaten you too."

After saying that, Lu Beiting hung up the phone decisively.

Lin Qian stared blankly at him.

For a moment, she thought she was dreaming again.

How can it be so enjoyable?

He said she was his bottom line.

He also said that she was his girlfriend and no one could separate them, not even his own father.

Is he really serious this time?

A wave of soreness welled up in Lin Qian's nose, and the countless grievances she had suffered transformed into a warm current.

"Why are you crying again, baby?" Lu Beiting chuckled, trying to soothe her. He wrapped his arms around her soft waist and teased in a low voice, "Are you made of water?"

After saying that, he muttered to himself, "Oh, it really must be made of water."

"Otherwise, why would there be so much water on the sheets?"

"Lu Beiting!"

Lin Qian blushed with shame and anger, and quickly covered his mouth.

Why does this man always get horny just when she's about to be moved?!
