Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

As the city lights begin to twinkle, the humid air makes one feel somewhat stifled.

Lu Hao arrived at Tomato Community once again.

He ultimately did not refuse Lin Ran's dinner invitation.

When he was leaving yesterday, he didn't tell Lin Ran about the leaked plan.

He knew Lin Ran too well. Once she found out, she would absolutely not agree to his resignation and would take all the responsibility upon herself.

But today is different. He has already completed the resignation procedures and is now an outsider.

Now, if we tell her that, given her personality, she will only follow her own ideas and take the blame for everything, she will be wrong.

Only in this way can she secure her position as manager.

Walking through the central garden of the community, the streetlights cast long shadows of the trees.

Those same kids who played with yo-yos last time were still "fighting" in the same old spot, showing off all sorts of fancy tricks with impressive skill.

This time, Lu Hao learned his lesson and took a detour.

The pain of losing a hundred yuan still lingers in my heart when I think about it.

Speaking of which, it seems that Xiao Xiyue also has a yo-yo in her house.

The thought made Lu Hao pause, startling himself.

Why did I suddenly think of her?

I have already done more than enough for her.

He slept with her a few times, and in the end, he repaid her a huge favor.

This debt is settled once and for all; we owe each other nothing.

Now, I'm just waiting for this month's salary to come in, and then I'll leave Nanning for good.

Go somewhere where nobody knows you, forget this terrible past, and live a good, free... wandering life.

Shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, he walked to Unit 2 of Building 3, looked up at the window on the 16th floor, where a warm light was shining.

Room 1606.

Lu Hao straightened his collar, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

"Thump, thump, thump."

A moment later, soft footsteps came from inside the door, the lock clicked softly, and the door opened inward.

Lin Ran stood at the door, wearing only a thin silk nightgown.

Her long, flowing hair was pulled up high, revealing a section of her slender, snow-white neck. The thin bra straps hung on her shoulders, barely concealing her round, snow-white breasts.

Beneath the deep V-neck, her full breasts rose and fell slightly with her breath, causing Lu Hao's heart to skip a beat.

"Come in."

Lin Ran's tone was indifferent, as if she were simply greeting an ordinary friend. She took two steps back, naturally squatted down, and took a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet, placing them beside his feet.

Lu Hao stood still, looking down from his vantage point.

As she squatted down, the view through her deep V-neck became even more fully exposed, making his mouth dry and his whole body feel hot.

He took a deep breath and forced his gaze away from the snow-white expanse, fixing it on the wall beside him.

"Why don't you take a closer look?"

Lin Ran looked up and saw him turn his head to the side, a smile appearing on her lips.

Lu Hao was speechless.

Well, it really was a trap.

He coughed lightly and replied half-jokingly, "Beautiful Lin, if I keep looking, I might lose control."

"Why do you need to control yourself?" Lin Ran stood up, pushed her slippers towards his feet again, and said with a lazy, provocative look in her eyes, "Suppressing yourself is so uncomfortable."

Lu Hao pursed his lips, deciding not to take the topic, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get down to business tonight.

He quietly changed into slippers and went straight to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

Lin Ran looked at his slightly disheveled back and her smile deepened. She stopped teasing him and turned to walk into the open kitchen.

"Please have a seat, dinner will be ready soon."

"Hmm, no rush."

Lu Hao leaned back on the soft sofa, relaxing his body, but his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the kitchen.

From his seat, he could see Lin Ran's slender figure busily working in the kitchen.

Her nightgown was short, only covering mid-thigh.

Previously always encased in various colored stockings, her legs were now exposed to the air, snow-white, straight, with smooth and symmetrical lines, radiating a healthy glow.

Lu Hao had rarely seen her without stockings.

The heat that had been forcibly suppressed began to spread through his limbs again.

He knew that he was about to be unknowingly controlled by her.

Especially when Lin Ran was chopping vegetables, her body would sway gently with the movement of her arms, and she seemed to be in a very good mood, humming an off-key tune.

Her incredibly slender waist and astonishingly full breasts swayed rhythmically.

Every detail was driving Lu Hao crazy with anxiety.

"call……"

Lu Hao let out a long breath, leaned back on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and forced himself not to think about those messy images.

The important matter is the priority.

The purpose of my visit today is to figure out how to bring up the matter of the leaked plan to Lin Ran in a way that is most acceptable to her.

Before long, Lin Ran had finished cooking dinner.

She placed the last dish of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table and called out to Lu Hao on the sofa, "Lu Hao, dinner's ready."

Lu Hao got up and sat down at the dining table.

Lin Ran took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, opened it, poured it into a decanter, and then took out two wine glasses, placing one of them in front of Lu Hao.

Seeing her actions, Lu Hao laughed and said, "Still drinking?"

"If you don't drink now, you might not have the chance again." Lin Ran didn't look at him, but focused on shaking the decanter to allow the wine to fully interact with the air.

Lu Haoqian chuckled, trying to brush it off: "How could I? Yongcheng is so wonderful, I couldn't bear to leave..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ran interrupted him.

She raised her eyes, her gaze clear and bright. "Based on my understanding of you, you'll leave here once you get your salary, right?"

Lu Hao was completely stunned.

He felt like a clown stripped naked, all his self-righteous pretense becoming a joke in front of her.

He chuckled, picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of pork rib, and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously to hide his embarrassment: "Your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Where to?" Lin Ran ignored his attempt to change the subject and pressed on with the question.

Lu Hao put down his chopsticks, realizing that he absolutely had to answer this question today.

"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time, we'll talk about it once the money arrives," he replied vaguely.

Lin Ran poured the red wine from the decanter into their glasses.

"It doesn't matter where I go."

She pushed a glass towards Lu Hao, her gaze fixed on the glass. "But that money, I hope you... can think carefully about your future. Over 80,000 is no small sum. Using it to start a small business, or to buy a house back in your hometown and make a down payment, would be better than you squandering it."

Her tone was calm, not lecturing, but more like a gentle admonition.

Lu Hao tightened his grip on the chopsticks slightly.

He looked up at the woman opposite him. Under the light, her profile was soft, and her eyes, which always held a captivating allure, were now utterly sincere.

This left him with mixed feelings, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Yes, promiscuous.

He knows what kind of person he is.

After downing a glass of red wine, Lu Hao's face flushed slightly, and his courage grew a bit stronger.

He took a deep breath, put down his glass, and finally made up his mind to confront the situation.

However, just as he opened his mouth, Lin Ran spoke first.

She put down her wine glass, interlaced her fingers to support her chin, and looked at him with a leisurely air, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Actually... the reason you're in such a hurry to resign is because you did something that betrayed the company, right?"
