Zhao Fei felt as if she had been struck by lightning at Lin Xiao's words. Yes, she had seen Wang Lei, but what about the future? In truth, she hadn't thought about it; she was still young, and marrying him was impossible.
Zhao Fei called the driver and went directly to the Sea Star Charity Organization in Changlin City to find Li Hao. When Li Hao saw her, the first thing he said was, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Fei, feeling indignant, shouted, "I'm here to make a donation."
"No," Li Hao replied with bravado, refusing her.
"One hundred thousand."
Li Hao was about to refuse again when someone interrupted him.
"Thank you, Miss," Zhou Yiran burst in, shaking Zhao Fei's hand enthusiastically and shouting for someone to bring the donation contract.
In no time, the contract was signed.
"What exactly are you here for?" Li Hao asked impatiently upon seeing Zhao Fei again. He was truly wary of this woman.
"I'm here to seek your advice. Honestly, this isn't a prank," Zhao Fei raised her right hand and swore.
Considering the one hundred thousand, Li Hao finally relented.
"Why did you marry Lin Xiao? There’s such a vast difference between you two."
Zhao Fei didn’t voice her thoughts but felt that aside from Wang Lei being less wealthy than her, they seemed quite similar. All her money came from her father.
"Just like you and Wang Lei, right? When you think like that, your relationship with him won’t last long. Because I’ve never felt there was a difference between me and Lin Xiao."
"As far as I know, you earn a high salary while Lin Xiao doesn’t earn much. Don’t you think that makes you unequal?"
"Zhao Fei, I'm different from you. Every penny I earn is from my own hard work. So whether it’s a lot or a little, it belongs to both of us as a couple."
"You’re different; everything you have comes from your family. The Zhao family may not mind supporting you, but they wouldn’t want you using that money to support Wang Lei. Do you really think Wang Lei would be willing to live off of you?"
"Back then, Lin Xiao advised you not to get involved with him, but you didn’t listen. Now that you've gotten involved, think carefully about it. Wang Lei is a friend of both me and Lin Xiao; I hope you won’t hurt either of them."
Before Li Hao could say more, Zhao Fei's phone rang.
Miss Zhao, the money has been transferred to your account. Please have them check on that. The client manager, Zhao Fei, called and mentioned that since last month, there has been an account under the name Wang Lei, which transfers a certain amount to your card every month. The last transfer at the beginning of July was one hundred thousand.
Zhao Fei hung up the phone and remained silent for a while. She had a lot of money on her card, and she had set her notifications for amounts below ten thousand to do not disturb.
Do you know how much Wang Lei earns monthly?
Less than ten thousand, I suppose.
So that fool has been transferring half of his salary to himself every month since they got together, yet he never mentioned it.
Zhao Fei picked up her bag and walked out without looking back; she was going to find Wang Lei.
Wang Lei heard the sound of the door opening and felt a stir in his heart but remained seated on the sofa. When Zhao Fei entered, she saw him waiting for her on the couch.
Seeing someone she missed so much right in front of her made Zhao Fei feel scared; she regretted saying those hurtful words when they parted.
"Are you here for something?" Yu Rao wondered if he should keep things amicable since he was a few years older than her.
"Why didn’t you change the lock?"
"I couldn’t be bothered; this is public housing." Wang Lei didn’t want to admit that he secretly hoped to see her in this place again one day.
"Why haven’t you come back lately? I waited for you for two days." Zhao Fei's voice carried a hint of grievance.
"There were matters at work, so I stayed over there."
"But you used to come back no matter how late it was."
Wang Lei remained silent. What could he say? In the past, he would return even at four in the morning just because she was there.
"Let me take you out for dinner. I’ll drop you off at the hotel afterward."
Wang Lei didn’t want to get entangled in past memories; it hurt too much. He stood up, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave.
Zhao Fei wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, resting her face against his back and softly calling out, "Brother Lei, I miss you."
Wang Lei didn’t respond; he was afraid of her and couldn’t distinguish what was real and what was not.
Is it that I, this Friends with Benefits, am still lacking, making the young lady of the Zhao Family keep thinking about me? Wang Lei doesn't want to admit that he has been moved, even if it's just a sweet word that could soften his heart. There is no one else, only you.
