7The party was at a restaurant that we used to go to when we were students. It was very lively.My friends must have gotten there early to put on their best act of judging my potential husband.Darrian bought some flowers on the way and handed them to my friends. He pretended to be cool, but a slight blush on his ears betrayed his nervousness.I sat next to him and whispered. "What are you nervous about? You've already met my mom."He whispered back. "I'm not nervous. I just feel like I'm betraying my bachelor buddies by skipping dinner with them and having dinner with so many girls."I rolled my eyes, seeing through his fake bravado. "Darrian, you're the only one here with a stiff smile."Darrian had to avoid alcohol after work in case of an emergency. He told everyone why and they were cool with it. He had a good time talking to them honestly without drinking.After a few drinks, I held Darrian's hand with the courage that alcohol gave me and asked with tears in my eyes, "Am
10On his day off, he came to meet my mom with me.When my mom learned that he was a cop, not a soldier like she had assumed, she pulled me aside softly. "Being a cop is a dangerous job. You shouldn't have to live in fear and worry."I cut her off. "Mom. I appreciate your love and concern for me. But I need you to give him a chance to show you who he really is and why I love him."My mom knew that I always made my own choices since I was little and didn't argue much, but when she talked to Darrian, she often looked sad and worried.Darrian and I left my mom's house after dinner. Instead of driving, he took my hand, and we strolled in the night.I could tell he had picked up on my mom's thoughts and was feeling conflicted.The moon was shining brightly, casting its light over the world.I held Darrian's hand, resting my head on his arm, and said, "Darrian, I'm here for you."He turned his head and looked at me, his eyes filled with warmth. "Remy, I'm so lucky to have you.""Wh
Author: Ni Hai"Is my boss lady avoiding me?" He approached step by step, his slender fingers hooked into his tie knot and lightly tugged left and right, his movements elegant and sexy.My heart was pounding uncontrollably."Jarred, if you have something to say, don't..."My voice was hoarse and completely lacking in confidence, causing my face to instantly turn red."My boss lady," a triumphant light flashed in his eyes as he murmured softly, "We are legally married."Okay, the plan to run away from home failed.1Jarred was indeed my husband, but at first, we weren't really married.To be more specific, it all started from the first time I pounced on him.That day, I woke up from a hangover and found a man lying next to me.His facial features and physique possessed a tender charm...Before I could even recall the absurd past, the man frowned, unhurriedly waking up, and unconsciously hugged me, his lips touching my forehead, giving me a good morning kiss.The whole pro
5I still couldn't calm down when I returned to the hotel after a long time.I rummaged through my phone, feeling more and more annoyed and a little empty... I really wanted to call Jarred and scold him.I had been away for so long, and he didn't even bother to call me once!This was too much!Was he seeing someone else?Didn't he say that he liked his boss lady the most?Did these words only work in bed?After a long struggle in my mind, I tried to find Jarred's phone number in my contact list when a strange number called me.I answered it, and heard a familiar voice on the other end. "Boss lady, it's me."My heart skipped a beat, and I got a little nervous. "What's wrong?"There was silence for a while, and I urged him, "Just talk!"He coughed a couple of times and said carefully, "Boss lady, I'm at the high-speed railway station now. Can you come to pick me up? I've lost my phone, wallet, and luggage."Jarred had silently taken the high-speed train to the city I was on
8We randomly picked a street vendor and sat on a small bench by the road, enjoying the evening breeze and occasionally taking sips of beer without saying a word.Jarred pursed his lips and seemed lost in thought but didn't say anything.The atmosphere was relaxed and not awkward.I quite liked this way of getting along, where we could speak when we wanted to speak and be silent when we wanted to be silent.We didn't have to worry about anything.'Why don't you drink?' I bumped his shoulder and handed him my half-finished beer.He smiled sweetly with his eyes narrowed, "Boss lady is difficult to handle when she's drunk, so I won't drink. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it later."……I pinched his cheek, "Do you really like me, or is it just because I'm a woman?"It was the same as the question Oliver asked me today, "Do you really like him, or is it just because he's a man?"I wanted to hear how he would answer.He lowered his eyelids, and his hot breath sprayed on my
10Today at work, Oliver wasn't in the company, so I felt much more relaxed and efficient.Men only slowed down my work.After venting my anger on a workplace crybaby, Ms. Dixon teasingly approached me, "Why do you exude the aura of a fierce and formidable martial arts master?"I replied while sorting out the documents, "She asks for help here and there, why doesn't she split her salary with me?"Ms. Dixon chuckled and said, "Alright, how about we have some fun and blow off some steam tonight?"I ran my fingers through my hair and felt a bit annoyed, "Sorry, I can't."Ms. Dixon understood my expression and asked mysteriously, "Is it because of Mr. Hudson? Someone saw you two together at a bar last time."I didn't say anything.She leaned closer and asked, "There are rumors about you two in the company. Tell me, is it true?"My heart sank and my face darkened.Ms. Dixon noticed the change in the atmosphere and left with a few embarrassed laughs.Jarred didn't contact me all
12When we got back to the hotel, after a brief contretemps, I lay on top of Jarred. "Didn't you say that we were even?"He pulled the blanket over his face, his chest rising and falling as he laughed, seemingly embarrassed to face this question.I rolled my eyes and laughed. I didn't understand what he meant by "being even" before, but now I realized that this little guy was trying to distance himself from me.But now we had broken our agreement again, so who would pay the breach of contract fee?We had taken our clothes off together tonight."It seems like you're enjoying the show tonight." Seeing him laughing all the time, I sighed.He showed his face and blinked his eyes. "I was really angry at first.""Oh," I said expressionlessly.He laughed again, "Hehe, luckily I didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have known that boss lady cares about me so much."???Where did he find out?I coughed and said, "Work hard and cultivate diligently, there is still plenty of time."……
Author: Ni Hai1On Valentine's Day, my boyfriend jumped to his death from our 27th-floor bedroom balcony.The shrill scream startled the security guards in several nearby buildings.Bertram Chaucer squatted before me and asked about the incident. His policeman's eyes were sharp, and his tone was all-business. "Where were you when the incident happened?"I was so scared that I collapsed on the ground, my clothes in disarray. I kept shivering like a fish out of water, gasping for breath.After a while, he calmly repeated, "Miss Belle, where were you when the incident happened?"I tried my best to make a hoarse sound, "I was sleeping.""The balcony is connected to the bedroom. When he jumped off the balcony, were you conscious?""I was asleep. I didn't know anything.""The neighbor said he heard your fierce quarrel about two hours before the incident. Is that true?""Yes.""Why?"This word ignited my remaining rationality. I raised my head and glared at the man in front of
