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

This time, Lu Hao didn't knock; he simply pushed the door open and entered.

Lin Ran looked up and saw Lu Hao walk straight to the sofa and sit down. She didn't mind his rudeness in not knocking, but smiled faintly, "The plan is done?"

"I've sent it to your email. When you get promoted to manager, I'll give the team leader position to Li Xu." Lu Hao leaned back on the sofa casually, his tone quite relaxed.

Lin Ran suddenly stood up from her office chair, her high heels clicking loudly on the ground.

She sat down on the sofa opposite Lu Hao, staring at him with a serious expression. "You're giving this seat to Li Xu? What were you thinking?"

"The team leader is too tired."

"Tired?" Lin Ran was amused and annoyed by Lu Hao's idea. Her tone turned sharp. "Lu Hao, you're already twenty-five years old. Aren't you thinking about yourself? The team leader position earns more than twice as much as you do now. Save some money, get married, and live a good life. Isn't that better?"

Lu Hao smirked, sat up straight, and leaned down to look at Lin Ran. "Beautiful Lin, you've got me in trouble."

Before Lin Ran could speak, he continued, "Look at me now, living such a carefree life. Why would I want to find a burden to tie me down?"

"Haven't you thought about the future?"

"The future? We'll take it one day at a time. The future is too long. We'll talk about everything later."

Faced with Lu Hao's nonchalant attitude, Lin Ran shook his head helplessly, "Go out, I'll mention your idea to the higher-ups."

Lu Hao stood up, looked down at Lin Ran, and teased, "Manager Lin, remember to treat me to dinner later."

Lin Ran waved her hand, unwilling to say another word to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao didn't mind; in the adult world, not refusing is tantamount to agreeing.

He walked out of the glass room, sat down at his workstation, tidied up his things, and prepared to "go home."

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, there's something I forgot to tell you." Li Xu leaned closer.

"Speak your mind, or shut up." Lu Hao didn't even look up as he quickly shut down the computer.

"It's that woman you took away a few days ago. I saw her again at Mochou Bar a couple of days ago. She seemed to be looking for someone, and I suspect it was you."

Lu Hao paused for a moment, then continued packing as if nothing had happened, turning and leaving without looking back.

LOL, they've only met once, and so many days have passed, they've already forgotten what the other looks like.

Even if the other party comes looking for him, Lu Hao will not panic at all. He will just continue to pretend that he does not know them, since the other party has no evidence anyway.

Back home, Lu Hao took a nice shower and planned to indulge himself that night. After a few busy days, it was time to treat himself.

Just then, Lu Hao's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a reminder he had set.

Today is the day I need to earn living expenses for Xiaofang.

Xiao Fang was a high school girl whom Lu Hao sponsored two years ago.

Ahem... the serious kind.

She was one of the beneficiaries that Lu Hao had selected from his original orphanage to receive assistance.

The person who originally sponsored Xiaofang stopped for some reason, so Lu Hao took over.

He sponsored a total of three people, giving each of them 1,000 yuan per month.

Lu Hao spent most of his salary on these three people. After deducting food, drink and other necessities, he hadn't saved a single penny in the past two years.

Besides being a wage earner, they have another hidden identity: living paycheck to paycheck.

He looked at the balance on his card: 834 yuan, and frowned.

Damn it, that's not enough!

Lu Hao scrolled through his contacts, his finger hovering over Qin Shou's number. He hesitated for a moment but didn't dial. Just as he was about to turn off his phone, Qin Shou called.

As soon as the call connected, a steady voice came from the other end, "Old Lu, are you free tonight?"

"You really know how to pick your time, the usual place?" Lu Hao laughed.

"Okay, see you there."

Lu Hao didn't mention borrowing money until the call ended.

He still owes Qin Shou a lot of money. Although he pays back a little occasionally, he has to borrow some more from him again soon. It's really hard for him to ask again.

Furthermore, Qin Shou has been busy with wedding preparations recently, making it even more difficult for him to bring up this matter.

Lu Hao sighed deeply, feeling as if even a hero couldn't be brought down by a mere penny.

There are still two days until payday, and we can't delay Xiaofang's job. This girl has excellent grades and is a future pillar of society.

With a creak, the door to the room opened, and Zhou Mengmeng dragged her tired body in.

Lu Hao's eyes lit up, and he got up and quickly walked over, helping her with her bag and changing her shoes.

Seeing Lu Hao's action, Zhou Mengmeng frowned and looked at him warily, asking, "Is this a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken?"

"I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that," Lu Hao said seriously.

Zhou Mengmeng couldn't help but roll her eyes, crossed her arms and stared at Lu Hao, "Anything is negotiable except for borrowing money."

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Zhou Mengmeng remained silent, but her eyes said it all.

Lu Hao scratched his head, striking a roguish pose, "One thousand, I'll pay you back when I get paid the day after tomorrow."

"You really have a lot of nerve."

"Why be so coy about our relationship?"

"Sure... but you'll have to come and get it yourself."

After saying that, Zhou Mengmeng turned and went into the room, leaving the door open.

Lu Hao touched his nose, feeling like he had been sold out.

But he still went in; he hadn't had any fun for days and was itching to go. He'd originally planned to go to a bar tonight to let loose, but now it seemed like that was out of the question.

Lu Hao entered the room, where Zhou Mengmeng had changed into a thin nightgown, her exquisite figure faintly visible.

Even though Lu Hao had already been honest with her, his breathing was still gradually becoming rapid.

Are men still boys until they die? No, they are lustful until they die.

Zhou Mengmeng isn't very tall, only a little over 1.6 meters. She weighs around 90 kilograms and has a baby face. She looks somewhat slender but has a voluptuous figure. Her skin is also delicate and smooth, as tender as a baby's.

"Move aside, I'm going to take a shower, I'm all sweaty," Zhou Mengmeng said calmly, wrapping her headscarf around her neck.

Lu Hao shrugged and sat down on her soft, fragrant bed.

Women take at least half an hour to finish showering. Lu Hao scrolled through videos on his phone, bored out of his mind. Li Xu even sent him a message asking if he wanted to go to Mochou Bar for a drink that night.

Lu Hao had already made an appointment with Qin Shou, so he declined Li Xu's offer.

Not long after, Zhou Mengmeng came in after taking a shower. She was still radiating heat, and her skin was fair with a rosy glow, as if it could drip water if you gently pinched it.

Zhou Mengmeng untied her headscarf, letting her long hair cascade down her back. She sat directly on Lu Hao's lap, hooking her arms around his neck, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"You'd give in for a thousand dollars?"

"If I don't intend to pay you back, I won't compromise even for 10,000 yuan."

"Cluck cluck cluck..." Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, Zhou Mengmeng let out a laugh like a mother hen.

"Hurry up, I have an appointment to go drinking with someone."

As soon as Lu Hao finished speaking, he wrapped his arms around Zhou Mengmeng's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and with a swift turn, pinned her to the bed...
