Dream Reading

My boyfriend offended an investor, and to make amends, I, who am allergic to alcohol, was forced to drink glass after glass of white liquor.
But when I was in unbearable pain, I heard his assistant say: "Brother Huai, I was the one who offended the investor, I should be the one apologizing. It's not right to let Sister bear the drinking and take the fall for me."
Xu Huai's response made me feel like I had fallen into an icy abyss: "You're so innocent, you shouldn't be tainted by the commercial world. Let her handle apologies like these."
At that moment, I realized. In Xu Huai's heart, I had always been a tool to take the blame for his assistant.
And now, I had been deceived nine times to take the fall for her.
The first time I took the blame for Lin Mo was on her first day at work when she messed up an important company project. Xu Huai took the responsibility upon himself, and I, enduring discomfort during my period, ran all over to maintain client relations. After the project ended, I fell ill.
The second time I took the blame for Lin Mo, she lost a confidential document. Again, Xu Huai took the responsibility, and I, with a 40°C fever, didn't sleep for a day and a night to recover the data loss, but I was exhausted to the point of spitting blood.
The third time I took the blame for Lin Mo, she drove under the influence, causing a traffic accident. Xu Huai called me to the scene, and I compensated and apologized for him, even kneeling to admit my mistake.
...
That day, I sobered up in the cold wind and decided to leave him forever.
But after I left, Xu Huai knelt in the airport hall, crying and begging me to come back.

My Boyfriend Tricked Me into Taking the Fall for Lin Mo 18 Times

After coming back from the hospital, I began packing my luggage.


Seeing the album on the table that contained the little moments of our past, along with the mugs we shared and the couple's clothes, I threw them all into the trash can.


Xu Huai, I don't want our memories or you anymore.


Toward evening, Xu Huai pushed the door open and came in.


A strong smell of perfume hit me, almost making me dizzy.


Xu Huai has rhinitis and is allergic to stimulating smells; he hates the scent of perfume the most.


When we first got together, because I used a bit of sunscreen, it triggered him to sneeze repeatedly, and he gave me quite a scolding.


Since then, I've never used any cosmetics.


Now it seems, it's not that he dislikes cosmetics; he just doesn't like me using them.


When his gaze caught sight of the frame in the trash can, his expression showed a rare sign of panic, asking me why I threw away our photo.


"It's old, I don't want it anymore." I replied without lifting my head.


Xu Huai visibly relaxed, "Old things are good to throw away, let's take better ones."


"This is the eleventh-anniversary gift I prepared. I should have given it to you yesterday."


I was quite surprised. He actually remembered our eleventh anniversary.


When I took the shopping bag, a receipt fell out from inside.


The invoice recorded not only this necklace he bought but also a new Chanel bag and a pair of limited edition high heels.


Yet inside the large bag, there was only this necklace.


I understood in my heart; he thought of me on the side when buying gifts for his good sister.


But his next words made me realize that the so-called gift had already been secretly marked with a price.


"I remember you snatched an art exhibition ticket before. We didn't have time to go. Could you let Lin Mo have it? She helped the company secure a lot of contracts this month, and I was just thinking about how to motivate her."


As he spoke, he observed my expression, looking somewhat guilty.


It was the ticket I lined up for three hours overnight to snatch, planning to watch it with him, but now it's nothing but waste paper.


"Sure." I agreed readily, without any hesitation.


My decisiveness caught him a bit off guard.


After speaking, I directly took the tickets out of my bag and handed them to him.


Looking at the tickets in his hand, joy spread across his face.


"We are the seniors, Momo is the junior; we should take care of her, that's how it should be."


Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.


Xu Huai went to open it; it was a set of delivered outdoor climbing gear.
