Tang Lei Has Grown Up

Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, three or four years have passed.

Ji Minze had officially taken over Longteng International Industries. Ji En stepped back to a less active role and spent more time with Ji Aier. And Ji Aier was still fully immersed in the design field, enjoying every moment of it.

"Brother Minze!"

Ji Minze didn't even need to look up to know who was coming. Usually, there were only two people who would call him like that, namely Tang Lei and Tang Rui. Tang Rui's voice was always gentle, sweet, and pleasant, ringing softly in his ears. But Tang Lei, every time, he would hear her exaggerated voice before actually seeing her.

"Don't you have classes these days?" Because Tang Lei had been showing up at almost the same time these days, rain or shine.

"It's summer vacation already!" She was happiest during summer and winter vacations. Every day, she could find all sorts of excuses to stay close to Minze. When he was busy, she would sit in his office wearing earphones and playing video games. As long as she was by his side, she was content.

"Summer vacation already? It feels like your winter vacation just ended not long ago," Ji Minze said as he looked at the reports.

"Brother Minze, could you please talk to my dad and ask him not to send me to study in the UK?" Tang Lei walked up to Ji Minze, put her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly.

"You're going to study in the UK?" Ji Minze paused and turned to look at Tang Lei. Her almost flawless face was right in front of him. She was no longer the naughty girl she used to be. Instead, she had developed a bit more charm. But her current intimate gesture made him feel a bit awkward.

"Yeah! But I don't want to go. I want to stay by Brother Minze's side," Tang Lei continued to act coquettishly and even pressed her face against Ji Minze's. She didn't realize that she was already 18 years old and not a child anymore. Such an intimate action was a bit inappropriate. But that was Tang Lei. She did whatever she pleased and didn't care about the so-called propriety between men and women.

"I'll come and visit you when I'm free," Ji Minze said. Going abroad to see the world and learn about different cultures was always good for broadening one's horizons.

"No, I don't want to leave Brother Minze," Tang Lei hugged Ji Minze even tighter.

"I said I'll visit you often. Be good," Ji Minze said. If Tang Lei kept hugging him this tightly, he thought he might even suffocate.

"Really?" Tang Lei finally let go of Ji Minze.

"I promise! I'll come and see you whenever I have time," Ji Minze said. He had gotten so used to her constant chatter and noise around him over the years. When she went to study in the UK, he might not be used to the silence. As long as Tang Lei didn't keep making such intimate gestures, he would spoil her.

"Then I'll go and study for one semester to give it a try," Tang Lei finally compromised.

"What do you mean by 'give it a try'? Do you plan to drop out halfway?" Ji Minze frowned and asked.

"Very likely. If Brother Minze doesn't keep his word and doesn't come to see me, then I definitely won't be able to keep studying," Tang Lei said seriously.

"I won't break my promise," Ji Minze said, patting Tang Lei on the head.

"Brother Minze, you can't pat my head anymore. I'm not a child," Tang Lei said. She had been looking forward to growing up every day, and now that she was finally over 18, she couldn't stand being treated like a little kid by Minze.

"Our Tang Lei has grown into a big girl. Brother Minze will definitely remember that," Ji Minze said with a smile.
