I couldn't help but ask the question that had been on my mind.
"Your eyelashes are so long, don't sunglasses feel uncomfortable?"
He paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow as he replied, "Would the young lady like to try?"
Under the sunlight, his skin had turned a healthy shade of tan.
At that moment, with his slightly raised brow, he exuded a charm that made my heart race.
I usually didn't care about small details, but this time I suddenly felt shy.
I turned my head, my fingertips curling involuntarily as if I had truly touched something exhilarating.
Long Qi observed my every move, quietly watching me as if he were looking through me at the electronic clock behind.
I knew he was about to leave, and I should seize the last opportunity to say something.
I opened my mouth several times but swallowed back the words.
How I wanted to say, "Bodyguard, don't go."
Even more so, I wanted to say, "Bodyguard, take me with you. Let's leave here and never come back."
But escaping the the Song Family was too risky. Even if he was a top bodyguard, how could he safely get away with someone like me who knew nothing but spending money?
How could I bear to let him take such a huge risk for me?
While I was still hesitating, Long Qi had already put on his sunglasses, hiding his gaze from me.
I only heard him say, "I've left something under your pillow; go take a look."
I followed his instructions and lifted the pillow to find a diamond necklace underneath.
It was extravagant in style, adorned with a large teardrop-shaped diamond—exactly what I had always wanted.
Ecstatic, I put on the necklace and stood in front of the dressing mirror to admire it, unable to resist asking, "Does it look good?"
There was no response.
The room was empty; only the howling wind outside answered me.
My hand holding the lipstick paused in mid-air before I casually continued outlining my lips.
My bodyguard had driven off in a sports car, roaring away into the distance.
Even without Long Qi, life must go on. I carefully tucked away the necklace and reminded myself to live as strong as I once did. Deep down, I knew he was likely working alongside Song Moting. If I went to find Song Moting, there was a good chance I would encounter Long Qi. Yet, I had never visited him. He was in the prime of his youth, while I was already battered and bruised. I couldn't bear to ruin Song Moting's future, so how could I destroy Long Qi's life?
On a clear and sunny day, I went to the flower shop and bought a sunflower. This flower is known for its resilience; as long as you stick a stem in the soil, it will take root and thrive, earning it the nickname "Unkillable Cockroach." When I was a child, our yard was filled with these flowers.
The flower shop was bustling with activity as employees meticulously arranged a large bouquet of roses. The owner was overseeing everything personally, constantly reminding them, "Be careful! This is for Mr. Song's wife. If you mess it up, forget about your bonuses this month!"
I couldn't help but wonder why a bouquet of flowers seemed more important than the employees' bonuses. But then again, perhaps my life wasn't valued any more than those employees in the eyes of some people. In this world, only the lives of those in power are truly regarded.
In this circle of wealth and privilege, it had always been this way. During the rainy season, the sunflower I brought back to the villa thrived remarkably well. Although I hadn't tended to it much, within just a few days, it blossomed into a sea of golden flowers.
That night, a sudden downpour erupted, and I woke up to the sound of thunder rumbling outside.
