Meiting shook her head and said, "I just returned to China, less than half a year ago. I stayed there for two or three years. My husband has passed away; he died in a car accident."
"Huh?" Daqi looked at Meiting in surprise, not knowing what to say.
Meiting: "At the time, my sister and brother-in-law insisted that I marry that Singaporean man, whose ancestral home was also in Changqing. He was quite old, probably in his fifties, and a very wealthy businessman. His wife had just died, so he married me. After his death, his property would be divided equally between me and his son. The old man treated me quite well; that's what was written in his will. He had long considered this day. After he died, I had no reason to stay in Singapore, so I auctioned off the property that belonged to me and returned to China."
Daqi had an indescribable feeling in his heart: why did Meiting suffer such torment from fate?
Daqi: "How do you know Ding Jian?"
Meiting: "It's kind of funny, but as soon as I got off the plane in Rongzhou, I was robbed by a few people. I started screaming and yelling, thinking, 'Why am I so unlucky as soon as I get back to China?' Just then, a man in a police uniform helped me get my things back..."
Daqi: "This person is Ding Jian?"
Meiting nodded and said, "I have an apartment in Rongzhou, which I bought a long time ago. My father bought it for vacations or business purposes. He had a lot of investments in China, especially in Rongzhou. After he passed away, I directly took over the apartment. Ding Jian has been pursuing me relentlessly, and I also have feelings for him..."
Daqi: "Ding Jian is a good person! But does he know about your affairs in Singapore? I mean, does he know that you used to..."
Meiting smiled and said, "He knows I've been married before, but he says he doesn't care. His parents also know, and they initially disagreed, but Ding Jian kept making a fuss, so they finally agreed."
Daqi: "It's rare to see someone so magnanimous; I should really be happy for you."
Meiting: "It's been more than half a year since I returned to China, and I haven't been back to my hometown to see my sister..."
Chapter 183 Returning to First Love
Daqi: "It's because I'm afraid of thinking about my parents..."
Meiting nodded and smiled, "You understand me best!"
Daqi: "You're the same; you know all my hobbies and interests."
Meiting: "Honestly, do you hate me?"
Daqi shook his head: "Qian Shenghuo has been too cruel to you. It would be unfair of me to hate you too much!"
Meiting: "Actually, I haven't been happy in Singapore all these years. Although my husband has been good to me, I think about you every day..." Meiting said, and tears started falling.
Daqi had no choice but to run to her seat, hug her, and wipe away her tears. For some reason, everything felt so natural, and the man didn't feel awkward at all.
She was still his first love, and he knew she still had feelings for him. Because he had never truly forgotten her either. All these years, he had simply sealed his beloved Meiting away in his heart... Seeing her a few days ago was the moment that seal was broken.
Meiting: "I'm so sorry!"
Daqi: "It's all in the past, and you didn't do anything wrong. I was just a penniless guy back then, and there was nothing I could do to help you..."
Meiting: "Maybe I shouldn't have gone with that Singaporean... but there's no going back in life..."
Daqi: "Then just keep going, I believe things will get better in the future."
Meiting: "Daqi, please forgive me, okay? I just want you to forgive me, it will make me feel better."
Daqi: "Silly girl, I've never hated you. I just hope you'll stop caring about me in the future."

Section Reading 151
Tell me anything that happens. We're not children anymore..."
Meiting: "I'm asking you, have you thought about me all these years?"
Daqi smiled and nodded.
Meiting: "I've met your girlfriend, Qiwen. She's amazing! I'm so happy for you!"
Daqi: "Ding Jian is not bad either, he's a good man!"
Meiting gradually stopped crying. She forced a smile and asked Daqi, "I remember you mentioned the school beauty in your class when you were in school. I think it was Qiwen?"
Daqi smiled and nodded, but then he said, "But back then, I liked you!"
Meiting nodded and said, "I know, so what about now?"
Daqi: "..."
Hi, I don't know how to answer her question. Saying I like her is inappropriate; saying I don't like her would be lying to myself...
Meiting: "You never lie to me, can you tell me?"
Daqi: "I really don't know how to say it?"
Meiting: "You're not a whine-loving person, just say what's on your mind!" Meiting's eyes reddened again.
Tears welled up in Daqi's eyes as he looked at Meiting, sighed, and nodded gently.
Daqi: "It's inappropriate for me to say this today. I hope you and Ding Jian get along well. He will treat you well."
Meiting: "I wanted to run away from you for the rest of my life, but fate just had to let me meet you again. Another reason I don't go back to Changqing is that I'm afraid of running into you again in my hometown. I always feel ashamed to face you!"
Daqi held her and gently stroked her face, saying, "It's all fate. If I had the status I have today, I think the woman I would have married would definitely be you. Back then, I really had nothing, so I have no complaints."
Meiting: "I wanted to spend my whole life with you, but I never expected such a big thing to happen in my family. Do you believe that?"
Daqi nodded and said, "Of course I believe you. Although life is better now, you're no longer by my side. Perhaps our fate really was just that shallow..."
Meiting: "I wish you and Qiwen a happy life together!"
Daqi smiled and nodded.
After the two came out of the coffee shop, Daqi said to Meiting, "Ting, let me take you home!" Meiting nodded, and the two got into the car.
The car started, and Meiting suddenly said, "Take me back to my apartment. I want to stay there tonight."
Daqi had no choice but to turn the car around and drive towards the "Shuguang Apartment" where Meiting lived alone. Meiting told him that she had just moved to Ding Jian's house and had been living in the "Shuguang Apartment" since she returned to China. The "Shuguang Apartment" was considered one of the best apartments in Rongzhou.
As Daqi drove, he asked her, "Ting, what's wrong with you?"
Meiting shook her head: "I'm fine, I just want to be alone for a while."
The car finally arrived at the entrance of Shuguang Apartment, but Meiting refused to get out. She looked at Daqi quietly, and Daqi asked with some confusion, "Ting, it's time to get out." Meiting, with tears in her eyes, suddenly buried her head in the man's arms and kissed him.
The kiss was so familiar; it was his first kiss. Every breath she exhaled was so familiar. In that instant, the scene of his first kiss with the woman in his arms flashed through his mind, as did the memory of her sacrificing her precious virginity to him. Even more unsettling, a sensual image popped into his mind: Once upon a time, in the bathroom of a small hotel, the fair-skinned, beautiful Meiting, naked and incredibly sexy, knelt respectfully before him, submitting to his commands and gently pleasing him with her lips and tongue…
It all seemed like it happened just yesterday, like Meiting was still nestled in his arms, being pampered. Daqi couldn't resist any longer, and he passionately returned the kiss to his first love... Meiting breathed heavily, holding the man tightly. Just then, the sound of car windows banging interrupted Daqi and Meiting's passionate kiss.
Daqi rolled down his car window. It turned out that the security guard at the apartment entrance was asking them, "Why don't you go inside? Why do you keep parking here?"
Meiting: "Manager Wang, it's me."
Upon seeing this, the security guard hurriedly said, "Oh, it's Ms. Chen! I'm so sorry, Ms. Chen, you can't park here. Please go inside."
Meiting: "I'm sorry, Manager Wang, something came up and I was held up. We'll go in now."
After hearing this, Daqi drove directly to the parking spot Meiting had specified, the underground parking lot of the apartment building. It turned out that Manager Wang was the security manager of the apartment building, and he knew Meiting.
After Daqi parked the car, Meiting smiled and gave him a light kiss, saying, "Take me upstairs!"
Daqi paused for a moment and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Meiting sat down on the man's lap with her soft buttocks and said, "You are my first man. If you don't love me anymore, then leave and never come back. If you still love me and care about me, then let's go crazy together. It's your choice, I won't force you."
Daqi hugged her and kissed her, saying, "How could I not love you? It's just that Ding Jian is my good friend..." Meiting kissed the man back, and their tongues began to intertwine again. After a while, Meiting said, "At worst, I won't marry her..."
"No!" Daqi said firmly, "You must marry him!"
Meiting: "Why?"
Daqi: "I don't want to ruin things for you!"
Meiting: "Then you should love me well!"
Daqi: "This..."
Meiting: "If you don't agree, I won't go to the wedding the day after tomorrow. I can do without anyone now!"
Meiting looked at Daqi firmly, and Daqi's heart softened. He knew her personality. She had never really paid attention to anyone except men since she was little.
Daqi nodded and said, "Promise me you'll marry him!"
Meiting: "Then you have to promise to treat me well!"
Daqi: "Ting, I'm just worried about letting Ding Jian down, it's not that I don't love you..."
Meiting: "Has fate ever been fair to us?"
Daqi: "..."
Meiting: "We were each other's first love. When I was in school, all I wanted was to spend my life with you. Didn't you feel the same way? Is it because of Qiwen that you no longer like me, or have you forgotten me?"
Daqi said firmly, "No, it's not like that. I've always had you in my heart, but don't you resent that I already have someone else?"
Meiting smiled and shook her head, saying, "Let's not say anything more. We still have each other in our hearts. Maybe we both have families now, but I really can't let you go. Fate brought us together again, which means our destiny isn't over yet!" With that, the woman gently kissed the man again…
Hey, Jian Ge, Da Qi, I'm so sorry!
For the first time, Tong Daqi felt he had let someone down, because he truly cared for Ding Jian as a brother. However, he loved Meiting far too much…
Although the car was cramped, it didn't hinder the two from undressing each other. Meiting removed Daqi's trousers and underwear, while Daqi made her sit naked on his lap...
After a few light kisses, the woman sat cross-legged on the man's lap, her body rising and falling gently, her breathing uneven. The man held her close, his mouth capturing her delicate breasts…
Everything was so familiar. The familiar woman, the familiar scent, the familiar soft moans. The woman's body was still so supple and alluring; she could easily ignite the passion within him.
As their movements gradually quickened, the BMW began to sway slightly. Finally, Meiting screamed and clung tightly to the man, at the same time, the man also reached the peak of his desire.
The woman, trembling and drenched in sweat, gently embraced the man's head and whispered, "Qi... you still give me the warmest... most familiar feeling..."
After getting dressed, the two got out of the car. Daqi naturally took her back to her residence. They chatted as they rode the elevator.
Daqi: "Which floor do you live on?"
Meiting: "15th floor."
Daqi: "You've been living here ever since you returned to China?"
Meiting nodded.
The two embraced as soon as they entered the house and closed the door.
Meiting: "In a few days I'll be someone else's bride, what are you thinking?"
