Suddenly, the image of a Shorty appeared in his mind, causing him to clench his fists.
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to see him again. I'm afraid to provoke him, but I can't just let you go! Once I catch you, you'll know what terror really is!"
Due to his fear of Ye Mingshang, he couldn't help but shift his anger onto the root cause, Zhang Taidi.
Meanwhile, the poor Shorty, who had just taken a break in a corner, suddenly shivered awake.
"What was that cold feeling just now? Was there a draft?"
As he walked to the broken window, Zhang Taidi felt an unsettling sensation in his heart, as if a dark cloud was looming over Heartache.
"I can't stay here! This is their territory; if I stay any longer, I'll be dead!"
With that thought, Zhang Taidi grabbed his money box and ran outside.
The next morning.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Li Mengyu slowly opened her eyes.
Ye Mingshang was breathing evenly beside her. Looking at his handsome face, Li Mengyu felt a wave of happiness wash over her.
There is no greater happiness in this world than the companionship of a loved one and growing old together.
What they had today was hard-earned; they had almost endured the greatest trials of time.
What is love in this world?
It makes the Magpie Bridge difficult to cross and the longing painful,
It makes it hard for butterflies to gather sweet hearts together.
It even leads one to defy the heavens and return home,
It requires countless turns and thousands of trials just to wait for one moment.
Thinking of all that the two had experienced, Li Mengyu couldn't help but sigh.
Reaching this point has not been easy; she truly hopes they can always be like this and never part.
Suddenly, Ye Mingshang's eyelashes fluttered.
Such a movement naturally did not escape Li Mengyu's eyes.
"Hmph! Since you were already awake, why pretend to be asleep?"
Caught, Ye Mingshang could no longer keep up the act and smiled brightly.
"Hehe! I got caught."
"You naughty one, always bullying me."
"How could I bear to bully you when I love you so much?" As he spoke, Ye Mingshang leaned in and gently kissed Li Mengyu on the lips.
Li Mengyu saw the face getting closer to her and felt her cheeks flush. She wanted to shy away but thought for a moment and then actively leaned in.
The two embraced, and another round of passion ensued.
Until the sun was high in the sky, Cheng Yi, awakened by his hunger, knocked on their door.
"Uncle Ye, Mengyu Aunty, don't sleep anymore, I'm hungry!"
Having just finished their activities, both were still covered in sweat.
Li Mengyu shyly pushed Ye Mingshang away and pouted, "It's not the first time; why are you so anxious?"
This time, Ye Mingshang didn't tease her but looked at her with tender eyes. "It's been over a thousand years since we last met; how could a few months be enough?"
Li Mengyu bit her lip, recalling their various experiences together.
"Knock knock knock! I'm hungry!"
Ye Mingshang smiled awkwardly while Li Mengyu playfully urged, "Get up already."
After washing up, the three had a light breakfast and lunch at the hotel cafeteria before checking out.
Ye Mingshang drove them back to the place where they had rented the car.
In the manager's office, a young man in his twenties was enduring his boss's scolding.
"Look at what you've done! You've rented out the car for months and still haven't returned it. If you don't bring it back soon, you'll be paying off that debt for a lifetime!"
Stepping out of the manager's office, the young man let out a heavy sigh. "Finally done! Seriously, when I first got hired, he was all smiles, saying things like, 'Amu, you're doing great! Keep it up, and when I get promoted, you'll be the manager!'"
As he spoke, he mimicked the manager's expression from that time.
Then reality hit him again, and he sighed once more. "How could such a good person just disappear? This has really put me in a tough spot."
Ye Mingshang had initially paid for a month's rental, but now it had been several months without returning the car. The Car Rental Company had reported it to the police, but the officers said his documents were all legitimate and couldn't open a case.
In truth, they just didn't want to deal with it. Later on, the company filed a civil lawsuit, but they couldn't even find this person to serve him with court papers.
This person had vanished for months, and no one had been able to locate him.
It was only heard later that someone spotted a young man in the Snow Mountain area who resembled the car renter.
However, searching for someone on Snow Mountain was incredibly difficult.
Moreover, months had passed, and no one believed that a person could survive alone in such a place for that long; perhaps he had already died.
With no car and no person found, it was as if the car had been thrown away.
This was worth millions; how could they not be anxious?
The manager was also working for someone else. Although he was tough on Amu, his superiors were even tougher on him; he had no choice.
He had been performing well and, given a few more years of experience, he could very likely be promoted to regional director.
But with such a major incident occurring, not only would promotion be out of the question; he might even lose his current job.
Amu knew that being a manager was difficult, but it wasn't easy for him either.
He sighed, and a roar of engines caught his attention, causing him to look up.
Not far away, a black SUV came into view.
"Huh?!"
Amu was startled, doubting whether he was seeing things.
"That's right! It's him!" Rubbing his eyes, Amu suddenly felt a surge of joy.
The car door opened, and a Black-Clad Youth stepped out from the driver's seat.
Following him were a Child and an incredibly beautiful woman.
"Who is this woman? She's so beautiful!" Amu couldn't help but stare in awe.
Noticing Amu's gaze, Li Mengyu looked somewhat displeased.
"Everyone likes beautiful things, but it's best not to think too much about it; otherwise, it will only bring unnecessary trouble," Ye Mingshang's irritated voice sounded beside him.
Amu snapped back to reality and awkwardly smiled.
Then he suddenly froze. "You! What are you doing here?!"
"Why can't I come? The car hasn't been returned yet," his question left Ye Mingshang momentarily stunned as well.
Uh (⊙o⊙)…
It seems like this is really the case.
"But, but it's been several months..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Mingshang smiled apologetically.
"I'm really sorry, I was held up somewhere for a while due to some matters. Don't worry, just calculate how much you need, and I'll make it up to you."
The other party's calmness made Amu feel embarrassed to say many things he had intended to express.
"Alright then, please have some tea and wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
The three of them sat down and began to enjoy the pastries prepared for the guests on the table.
"Hey! Isn't that the missing off-road vehicle? It actually came back!"
(To be continued.)
