"Er Zhu, drive faster, I want to get home immediately!"
Suddenly, Wang Xiaomei grabbed Er Zhu's arm with excitement and said.
"Ah? Oh..."
Er Zhu was a little confused, but seeing how anxious Wang Xiaomei was, he couldn't help but step on the accelerator hard. The black luxury car sped towards the Wang family's house.
As soon as they arrived at the Wangs', Wang Xiaomei pulled Er Zhu towards the living room. At this moment, Wang's father and Wang's mother had already been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Er Zhu, you haven't visited in so long, Auntie misses you."
Seeing Er Zhu, and thinking about the rumors of the past period, Wang's mother walked over with a smile, patted Er Zhu's shoulder kindly, her eyes full of flattery.
"Mmm."
Although Er Zhu didn't know about the so-called rumors, he knew Wang's mother's intentions, so he remained calm. A hint of embarrassment flashed in Wang's mother's eyes, but thinking of Er Zhu's status, she didn't say much.
"Don't stand outside, come inside and sit."
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Wang's father leaned sideways and waved warmly at Er Zhu.
"Er Zhu, Xiaomei really likes you. It's hard to find such a devoted woman nowadays, you can't just break up with her."
As soon as they were seated, Wang's mother seemed to have thought of something, looking at Er Zhu with a smiling face.
"Mmm, I know. We've already made up."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, and while speaking, he held Wang Xiaomei's hand tightly, as if showing affection to the elders.
Feeling the warmth from his broad palm, Wang Xiaomei felt shy, but her heart was as sweet as honey!
Of course, Er Zhu didn't really intend to marry Wang Xiaomei. He just knew Wang's mother's personality well; if he really broke up with Wang Xiaomei, she would immediately help Wang Xiaomei find another rich man. He didn't want to see his friend pushed into a fire pit, nor did he want to waste time on such things.
"Good, it's good that you've made up. Don't go back tonight, stay here."
Seeing their sweet interaction, Wang's mother's smile reached her ears. She praised Er Zhu while signaling the maid to serve the dishes.
The meal was eaten amidst escalating flattery and fawning. Listening to her parents' exaggerated words, Wang Xiaomei wished she could disappear into the ground, but seeing Er Zhu, she endured it.
He was willing to keep up the act with her?
So, he really intended to marry her!
She had truly realized her wish!
The more Wang Xiaomei thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to hold Er Zhu's hand, but unexpectedly, Er Zhu cleverly dodged it.
Wang Xiaomei was startled and then realized there were many people in the living room. She thought Er Zhu was embarrassed and didn't think much of it.
After an unknown amount of time chatting, Wang's mother saw that the time was right and looked at Er Zhu with a smile: "Er Zhu, it's getting late, you two should go upstairs and rest."
Seeing Wang's mother's giggling smile, Er Zhu nodded slightly and pulled Wang Xiaomei upstairs. At this moment, Wang Xiaomei's heart was like a small rabbit's, she felt her heart about to leap out!
This was her first time!
Bang!
The loud slam of the room door interrupted her thoughts. She realized she was already in her room, and only she and Er Zhu were left.
"We still have to keep up this act, otherwise your mother will continue to pressure you. But don't worry, when you find someone you like, I'll find an excuse to break up with you."
Er Zhu's voice was light, but it stabbed Wang Xiaomei's heart like knives. Her excitement and nervousness vanished at this moment, and she felt frozen!
An act?
So, everything was fake after all!
Wang Xiaomei's eyes reddened slightly. She nodded gently and sat down on the bed in silence.
"Thank you, Er Zhu. I will definitely find a way to free you soon."
Wang Xiaomei forced back the tears in her eyes, tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, trying her best not to let Er Zhu notice her trembling voice.
"Mmm, you sleep first."
Er Zhu naturally saw Wang Xiaomei's sad expression, but he said nothing, pretending not to know anything.
Bang!
Just as Er Zhu stood up to leave, the room suddenly went dark. Wang Xiaomei jumped up abruptly and threw herself into Er Zhu's arms.
"Er Zhu, don't push me away, I'm afraid of the dark!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to push her away, Wang Xiaomei said with a trembling voice. Er Zhu looked at Wang Xiaomei's pleading eyes and finally didn't push her away.
"Er Zhu, Xiaomei was frightened as a child and is most afraid of the dark. You must take good care of her."
Just as Wang Xiaomei was about to explain, Wang's mother's voice came from the doorway. Through the crack of the door, they saw a faint light.
That is to say, this so-called power outage was deliberately arranged by Wang's mother!
She just wanted to scare Wang Xiaomei to make all this seem real!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomei frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She knew her mother was shameless, but she didn't expect her to be so shameless!
This was simply too embarrassing for her!
Wang Xiaomei wanted to confront her mother, but the invisible darkness brought her immense fear, and she dared not leave Er Zhu's embrace!
"It's okay, isn't she always like this? As long as nothing happens between us."
Er Zhu gently patted Wang Xiaomei's back to comfort her. He naturally disdained Wang's mother's actions but didn't intend to argue with her. It wasn't out of fear, but rather he didn't want to waste time with such a person.
"Er Zhu, hold me tight, I'm so scared!"
Just as Wang Xiaomei was about to apologize to Er Zhu, the living room also plunged into darkness. Wang Xiaomei became even more afraid. She clung tightly to Er Zhu, as if she wanted to merge with him!
Wang Xiaomei had no other thoughts, but Er Zhu felt his throat dry up!
However, Wang Xiaomei didn't seem to notice this. She hugged Er Zhu tighter and tighter. Suddenly, her legs went weak, and they both fell onto the bed.
"I'm sorry, Er Zhu, I was too scared, I..."
The moment they fell onto the bed, Wang Xiaomei felt a dull ache. She fumbled for Er Zhu while repeatedly apologizing.
At this moment, Er Zhu was her only sense of security. Without him, she would go crazy!
"I'm fine, don't panic, take a deep breath."
Seeing Wang Xiaomei's panicked state, Er Zhu felt pity. He comforted Wang Xiaomei and taught her how to alleviate her emotions.
Feeling Er Zhu's familiar presence, Wang Xiaomei took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. Seeing that Wang Xiaomei's emotions had calmed down considerably, Er Zhu also sighed with relief.
It was good that they had calmed down, otherwise, if they had kept hugging, something would have happened sooner or later!
