Chapter 182 Fireworks

"Brother Lei... I..." Zhang Jingchu bit her lips while staring at Quan Lei. Her gaze was so pitiful that anyone with a heart would sympathize with her.

Losing was not really a problem. The real problem at the moment was to collect a hundred million yuan to bay back for this bet.

Quan Lei did not answer her. Instead, he clenched his jaw and attempted to walk away.

"Brother Lei wait... I think I can do something about this." Zhang Jingchu stopped him while tugging his shirt.

"What?" He asked annoyed. His patience was almost running out.

"I... My aunt is actually married to Fu Jin's uncle so... so maybe she could help us talk to Fu Jin and Jiang Yue." She said. This was her chance to prove her value to Quan Lei and she would never waste it.

"Do whatever you want. I can afford fifty million. Do not involve me in your nonsensical plans." Quan Lei jeered before shaking Zhang Jingchu's hands off him. Such a stupid woman. Fu Jin was the future patriarch of the Fu Family. Did Zhang Jingchu really think that her aunt could help her?

"Brother Lei, wait..."

"For f*cks sake! STOP FOLLOWING ME!" To everyone's surprise, Quan Lei raised his voice. "Don't you get it? I never liked you before. I do not like you now, and I will never like you in the future! So just stop this and leave me alone!"

Zhang Jingchu instantly paled. Her tears burst out, spilling all over her face. Then she lowered her head and ran away like a little girl.

"Brother Lei, you shouldn't have done that. That was extremely rude to someone who likes you." Someone from the group said. However, Quan Lei did not say anything. Instead, he walked out of the group with his hands shoved in his pockets.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin continued their date as if they did not just win a hundred million from Quan Lei and Zhang Jingchu.

Since they had ridden the slow rides before, the couple chose to ride the fast rides this time. They were engrossed with each other as they enjoyed all the rides in the park.

When night came, they had dinner and enjoyed another round of slow rides while appreciating the view from above.

"Hey! You wanna go to karaoke?" Jiang Yue asked Fu Jin while they were enjoying the fireworks show from a distance.

"Karaoke?"

"Yep! What do you think? I want you to hear my beautiful voice!" She declared.

"I know you suck at singing."

"What? Did you see that in your dreams as well?" She asked, her eyes full of interest. She wanted to know more about his dreams... She wanted to know if he was like her.

Fu Jin did not answer her. Instead, he stared at Jiang Yue's face. Though the fireworks they were watching were quite far away, it still gave her face some light. As if, they were programmed to light up every time she smiled. Like a perfect photograph.

"Hey... what are you looking at? You will miss the fireworks if you keep staring at me." Jiang Yue said before turning her attention back to the myriad of lights in the sky. Then she felt him kiss her cheek, making her turn her face towards his.

She gave him a smile. "Thank you." She said. She wanted to thank him for being with her. For loving her. For being here.

They stared at each other's eyes. Their thoughts stopped, hearts syncing into one.

And right there and then, they knew that no one had ever loved anyone as much as they loved each other. And if they did, and had lost it, then it would only mean death. Because having this feeling and losing it would rip someone's soul apart. A love so great, if lost, it would kill you... slowly, softly and painfully.

Their lips met. Under the fireworks, the couple savored each other's lips. As if their souls were making a promise to each other.

A promise so true that not even they could put it into mere words.

A promise that would span longer than a lifetime.
