Thanks for Letting Me Go Met You Before Sunrise(1)
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

5Three days later, Thomas' mother died.I suffered from insomnia and could only fall asleep after taking sleeping pills. I didn't know what had happened after I fell asleep.This morning, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a pair of legs swaying in the air, and the toes were only a few centimeters away from me.The red plastic stool fell to the ground with a dull clatter.In an instant, my hair stood on end, and I curled up in the corner in horror. My throat tightened, and I couldn't make a sound. I could only hear my heart beating wildly.It took me a long time to come back to my senses. Trembling, I took out my phone and called Bertram.His voice came from the phone. He was as calm as ever. "What's wrong?"I took a deep breath and squeezed my thigh, forcing myself to focus."Don't be afraid. Stay where you are. I'll be right there." There was a rustling sound on the phone. "Don't hang up. Wait for me."My fear and panic seemed to have found an exit, slowly fading away. I

7When Sarah came to see me with the fruit, Bertram was still angry. He sat by the ward window and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.The atmosphere was awkward.Sarah noticed this. After showing concern for my health, she strode up to Bertram and snatched his phone away without saying a word."If you have something to say, just say it. We're not mind readers. How are we supposed to know what you're thinking?"As far as I knew, Bertram was a cold-faced man, and Sarah was a sweet little sister.However, at this moment, it was as if they'd swapped roles.Under my stunned gaze, Bertram stood up and walked toward me with a serious expression."Julian, you shouldn't feel so guilt-ridden. Do you think he will be grateful if you don't pursue the matter of Thomas' father? You need to get a grip. Weak people will always be bullied. Do you understand?"Her tone was stern, and she even added some hand movements, which made her look like a parent who was exasperated at her ch

9These words instantly exploded in my mind.Was there any other reason for Thomas' mother's death?I asked the driver to turn around and return to the hospital. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Bertram.He stood straight on the side of the road, and the sun shone brightly on him.I felt a little ashamed. My eyes were red and I didn't know what to say.He pursed his lips and looked at me quietly. After a long while, he slowly said, "Julian, there is no barrier in life that can't be overcome. Take a few more steps and you'll be fine."I nodded and tears rolled down my cheeks."Come on, I'll take you to a place. I think it's more meaningful for you to understand the cause of Thomas' mother's death."Bertram raised his hand and paused above my head for a while. In the end, he patted my shoulder gently.My heart skipped a beat.I had made countless speculations about how Thomas' mother had hung herself at my door.What convinced me the most was that in order to take reven

11On the day of Thomas' father's wedding, it was a grand occasion.The yard was filled with band members who were singing and playing. Their voices could be heard a few miles away.However, there were very few relatives who came, and the neighbors all didn't like this family.When I showed up with a group of reporters, it caused quite a stir.The neighbors gathered around his house at the same time, surrounding the door of his house tightly."Julian, are you crazy? What are you doing?" The groom, who heard the noise, came in a hurry, and his face turned blue.Seeing that the situation was not good, the bride quickly covered her head and ran away, for fear of being photographed by the camera."I brought reporters to interview you." I tidied up my collar, straightened my chest, and looked up at the camera. "You spread rumors every day about how I forced your son to death and forced your wife to hang herself at the door of my house. I have to let everyone know the truth."Thomas

Author: Ni HaiI had a secret relationship with my stepmother's son.When we broke up, it became particularly unpleasant.One day, he got drunk and intercepted me in the bathroom. He said, "I'm a masochist. We'll torment each other until our hair turns grey. What can you do to me?"1It was almost New Year. I delayed things for as long as I could, but in the end, under my father's alternating intimidation and bribery, I bought a plane ticket home.On the day I got home, Jeremy came to pick me up.It was the first time we met after breaking up.After half a year, he had changed a great deal. He only wore light-colored clothes in the past, but now, he was dressed in a tailored black suit. He had a slender waist and long legs. Coupled with his profound outline and indifferent expression, he looked cold and unapproachable."Brother..." I called him awkwardly.He glanced at me coldly and said, "Call me by my name. I don't want to be your brother."If we broke up, couldn't we be

4As soon as I stepped out of the door, a bone-chilling wind blew from all directions.I stood in the snowy field. Before I could recover from the shame, I saw Jeremy chasing after me.He wore a black down jacket, and most of his face was hidden in his thick and fluffy collar, revealing only a pair of calm eyes. He was holding a Patrick Star hand warmer, which didn't match his image at all.Walking up to me, he handed me the hand warmer and said lightly, "Let's go home. It's cold outside."I quickly shook my head and said, "Brother, no, Jeremy, come with me somewhere. I'm afraid to go alone."It took us a few hours to drive there.The sun was setting in the west, and the evening mist was heavy. Jeremy and I were sitting in front of a tomb in the cemetery. It was hushed, and no one else was there. Looking around, I found there were only neatly arranged tombstones of different heights."I told my mother everything." I chuckled. "Including our relationship."The tip of Jeremy's n

6In the open kitchen, Jeremy was focused on preparing the ingredients. The sun shone through the window and highlighted his side profile.Everything seemed dreamlike in those moments.I didn't even dare to breathe heavily for fear of disturbing something.I didn't know how much time had passed when Jeremy suddenly turned around. When he saw me, he reminded me in a serious tone, "You have gum in your eyes."These words easily destroyed all my fantasies.I gritted my teeth and glared at him. "Don't meddle with a pretty girl's business."Jeremy nodded and turned around to go back to his work. "No matter what you look like, I'll like it."Wait a minute...Was he expressing his love?During our two years together, Jeremy was a man of action and rarely used tricks.Sometimes, when I deliberately acted like a spoiled child in front of him, he would push me away with a look of disgust. He would say, "Madison, use your normal voice when talking."After washing up, I sat at the dini

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."……

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

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

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

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
Thanks for Letting Me Go Blind Date With an Undercover Cop(4)
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

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

4Darrian walked out without a word, leaving me on the floor.I was stunned by my own actions.The last two words on my screen were "I do".I did ruin my love life for good.I curled up in a ball and waited for a long time before I gathered the courage to peek at Darrian through the door.He searched the area for any signs of trouble. I watched him from a distance, hoping he would notice me."Darrian, are you ignoring me?" I asked in a weak voice.He paused for a second, then turned his head to face me. "I need some time to think."I felt a flicker of hope, and he added, "Calm down and have fun.""Sure," I said. Well, at least he was still talking to me. That was something.I went back to my room and tried to find some nice pajamas that could impress Darrian, but I ended up falling asleep on my stomach.When I opened my eyes, it was already seven in the morning.Darrian was still leaning on the door, not moving a muscle.Poor guy. He must have had a hard night.I felt so

Author: Ni HaiI never expected to meet him again. The last time I saw him, he was a clumsy barista who messed up my order nine times in a row. I felt sorry for him, so I tried to crack a joke. "Hey, are you an undercover cop?"He looked startled and denied it quickly. But as soon as I left the cafe, he locked the door and disappeared.Later on, we ran into each other again. He stopped me and said, "You're under arrest, because you have stolen my heart, darling."1Before the blind date, I only knew that he was a policeman, and that he was tall and handsome.My mom, Rachel, had warned me that she would disown me from the Rae family if we didn't get along. She was well aware of my weakness for men in military uniform, and she had gone to great lengths to find one for me.Needless to say, I was nervous as hell.When I caught sight of him, I was shocked. Wasn't he the adorable guy who had messed up the coffee order?How did he go from being a hopeless barista to a hot cop?I d
