Lin Su let him in anyway, because she was worried that he would shout and yell outside and be seen by others, and she didn't want to be misunderstood.

Sheng Qiming entered the room, closed the door, locked it from the inside, and blocked the entrance, making sure the woman couldn't escape.

He wouldn't mind being a thug if necessary.

"Would you like to reconsider? I can transfer the money to you first." Sheng Qiming decided to try a polite approach first, and he said to the woman huddled against the wall on the other side.

"I won't break up with Zong Yan." After thinking it over, Lin Su could only think that he was testing her to see if she would be tempted by money.

Although five million is a lot, she doesn't want it; Zong Yan is more important.

"I didn't tell you to break up." Sheng Qiming didn't mention Zong Yan at all. "This has nothing to do with him; it was just a deal between the two of us."

"Then...why?" Lin Su was extremely puzzled.

"I had a dream," Sheng Qiming said softly, "a nightmare. Only a kiss can end this nightmare."

Lin Su looked at him as if she had heard a fairy tale. "Are you... playing me again?"

Zongyan, this friend, was unreliable from the very beginning on the phone, and after meeting her, he repeatedly complained about her. He felt his eyes hurt just looking at her, so how could he want to kiss her?

He's definitely playing with her. If she agrees to his request, he'll probably go and complain to Zong Yan right away.

Lin Su wasn't afraid of him complaining; all she wanted now was to send him away peacefully and prevent him from bothering her again.

"I'm not kidding you." Sheng Qiming took a few steps forward, trying to close the distance between them. "I'm serious, I'll give you five million too."

Lin Su clenched her fists; she had nowhere to hide and didn't want to hide anymore. "If you kiss me, will you stop having nightmares?"

"Yes." Sheng Qiming stood in front of her, only a step away, his voice deep, "Just one kiss."

"Then...then go ahead and kiss me." Lin Su knew he wouldn't kiss her, but she was still a little nervous. "I don't want your money, I'm just happy to help you."

"Really?" Sheng Qiming took another step forward, their clothes already tangled together. He hadn't expected Zong Yan's girlfriend to have such a kind heart.

He lowered his head and looked at the woman in front of him who had closed her eyes. Her eyelashes were trembling violently with tension, and her pink lips were also trembling slightly.

The QQ-shaped skin looks very soft, but it's definitely not as soft as the one in his dream. It's all an illusion. As long as he kisses it, his nightmare will end.

Sheng Qiming braced his hands against the wall behind her, slowly bent over, his prominent Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and his heart suddenly pounding.

He cursed himself inwardly for being so spineless. She wasn't his woman, and he wasn't kissing her for the sake of intimacy. Why was he so nervous?

He cleared his mind, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and pressed himself against her.

Their lips touched.

The two opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes filled with the exact same disbelief.

Lin Su couldn't believe he had actually kissed her, and Sheng Qiming couldn't believe her lips were really as soft as in his dream.

"Ah!" Someone shouted, and Sheng Qiming took several steps back, his eyes even more terrified than Lin Su's. He turned and ran away in a panic.

Lin Su was also flustered. He actually kissed her. Wouldn't that mean she was forced to do something that would betray Zong Yan?

If he finds out...

Will he find out? Will Sheng Qiming tell him?

Lin Su was very anxious about what happened that day, but three days passed and no one made a move. She could only suppress her anxiety and attend classes on time every day.

On the fourth night, Zong Yan returned from his business trip.

Lin Su was already asleep when he kissed her awake. She vaguely smelled his familiar scent and instinctively hugged him tightly.

She tilted her head back, wanting to return the kiss, but suddenly realized something and opened her eyes in alarm.

"You're awake?" Zong Yan smiled and kissed her eyes when he saw her open them. "Did I scare you?"

It was him. Lin Su hugged his waist tightly and shook her head softly.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Zong Yan naturally didn't hold back. He had missed her terribly after not seeing her for almost half a month.

By the time they finally had a chance to hug and talk, it was almost dawn outside. Lin Su nestled in his arms, feeling tired but not sleepy at all.

"Will we be traveling for business for this long every time from now on?" This was the first time they had been apart for so long since they got together.

Although they keep in touch, Zongyan seems to be very busy and always has to get back to work after only a few words with her.

"Probably." Zong Yan knew it was his father's deliberate arrangement, but he was now under someone else's control and had no choice but to submit. However, he did learn a lot from the trip.

Lin Su snuggled against him, unable to say she didn't want him to go, since he was spending the money he earned outside on her.

The place she lives in now, the clothes she wears, her tuition and living expenses are all paid for by him.

Lin Su had no money. She dropped out of school because she was broke, and she also owed money for her grandmother's medical treatment. She worked at a hair salon to pay off her debts.

If she loses Zongyan now, she will have nothing left.

"I'm sorry," Lin Su said softly.

She really didn't expect Sheng Qiming to actually kiss her. She thought that if she pretended to agree, he would just laugh at her a few times and then turn around and leave.

They didn't actually kiss; their lips just touched. She didn't feel anything, but he jumped away in even more terror than she did.

This shouldn't be considered a relationship, right?

"What are you apologizing to me for?" Zong Yan chuckled, stroking her head. "Apologizing for not being able to come on my business trip?"

Lin Su carefully raised her head and kissed him on the lips. "It's all because of me that you've had to work so hard. I'm sorry."

"It's not hard work, and it's not because of you." Zong Yan didn't let her take the blame. He said lazily, "It was bound to happen sooner or later, just two years earlier."

He will definitely take over this family business himself, but before he met Lin Su, he was too playful and wanted to play for a few more years.

He and Sheng Qiming are both playful types, unlike another friend who took over the family's overseas businesses early on. When he came back last time, his whole aura was different.

He was already popular and had good manners, and after becoming president, he became even more charming.

Thinking of this, Zong Yan suddenly pinched Lin Su's chin and looked at her, "You haven't fallen for someone else, have you?"

Lin Su's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Sheng Qiming had complained to him. But how could he dare? He had kissed her too; if they made a mistake, it would be a mistake they both made together.

She quickly shook her head, "No, that won't happen."

"I can tell you really like Shao Huaizhi," Zong Yan said, a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"That's different." Lin Su blinked. "He's a friend, you're my boyfriend."

Zong Yan had only thought of this on a whim and didn't suspect her, but he still gave a haughty snort, "It's good that you know who your man is. I'll introduce you to another friend in a few days."

How come he still has friends? Lin Su was already afraid of his friends.
