Section 6
I heard that there was a time when she insisted on having you accompany her, but in the end, it was you who caught someone's attention, not her
Bai Yan bit her lip, feeling powerless
Leng Feng said to himself, do not pay attention to Kang Jian. If Bai Yan still had any feelings for him, she would not have divorced him in the first place. Bai Yan is not an impulsive person; since she chose to divorce, it must have been a well-considered decision.
She simply chose not to respond, dismissing it with a smile
Bai Yan's small face flushed red, "Don't listen to Liu Jing's nonsense, she just can't stand him and is using me as an excuse to make fun of him."
Bai Yan, gritting her teeth in anger, did not want to run back and forth. In helplessness, she had no choice but to move all of Leader Kang's clothes to the current rental place. Whatever he wanted, she handed it directly to him
Upon arriving at Bai Yan's rental place, Leng Feng thought that changing his clothes would not take too much time. However, he was uneasy about Bai Yan and Kang Jian being alone together, so he also went upstairs with them
Bai Yan could not imagine the frenzied appearance of Ma Jia. In her impression, Ma Jia was very good at being cool and pretending to be profound, speaking in half sentences and leaving the other half unsaid. "Did that girl respond?"
The car, under the astonished gaze of Huaxing, suddenly drove onto the highway, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This day is truly lively; having just bid farewell to Ming Tian in the morning, I now find myself crossing paths with Bai Yan's ex-husband at this moment
Leng Feng is well aware that there exists a most pure and beautiful bond between him and Bai Yan, a bond that transcends the desires of romantic love and even surpasses love itself. It is akin to familial affection, destined to endure through time and will never go astray
Kang Jian slightly nodded, turned around, first went to the Huaxing vehicle to retrieve the manuscript, bid farewell, and then got into Leng Feng's car, sitting in the back seat while Bai Yan occupied the front seat
Therefore, although they have been divorced for two months and ten days, during these seventy days, they have met no less than twenty times and have had countless phone calls.
Bai Yan initially considered that he had left in a hurry and did not have time to pack his luggage. While organizing her wardrobe, she kindly packed all of his clothes into a suitcase according to season and category, and then called him to come and pick it up. Leader Kang said that the government guesthouse did not have such a large wardrobe, so it would be temporarily stored at her place.
He cannot compare himself with such a tomorrow and Bai Yan, as he got to know Bai Yan relatively late, did he not
Leng Feng noticed a few strands of hair blown into her mouth by the wind. He leaned over and gently brushed them aside, nodding, "Of course it's true. When we go out for a consultation next Saturday, you can ask Ma Jia. By the way, Bai Yan, has Liu Jing had any results from her recent blind dates?"
"Well, it's fine if lunch is a bit late; after all, we have nothing else to do this afternoon." Leng Feng replied with a gentle smile
Leng Feng elegantly and generously curled his lips, "Of course, it's convenient. Mr. Kang, please." He politely gestured for Kang Jian to get in the car.
The white goose chuckled, "Is this really true?"
Hua Xing blinked his eyes in the car, waiting for the dust to settle, but he could no longer see a trace of the vehicle. He muttered to himself: Do not try to guess the leader's thoughts; no matter how much you guess, you will never understand.
Yitongtong choked on a mouthful of mud and spat it out twice. The old cow slowly moved to the side of Li Zehao's car, jumped onto the back seat, and turned its face away.
Director Liu of the Provincial Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department is a middle-aged woman in her forties, known for her meticulous dressing and high standards for others. "Which tie do you think goes well with this suit?" Kang Jian's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was sufficient for every corner of the rental office to hear clearly.
If Kang Jian were not present, Bai Yan would tease Leng Feng in a playful manner. However, with three people in the car now, she is eager to dismiss this, as if she is in a hurry to clear her relationship with Leng Feng and prove it to Leader Kang. If she obediently agrees, it seems as though there are unresolved issues between her and Leng Feng.
Upon thinking of this, Leng Feng felt much more at ease. He engaged in conversation with Bai Yan about the matters and people in the hospital, as if Kang Jian did not exist.
Leng Feng glanced at Kang Jian, who was engrossed in revising his manuscript, through the rearview mirror, feeling a surge of frustration within. However, being a clever and confident man, he would not allow himself to lose his temper in front of Bai Yan
He continued to lower his head to revise the speech, ignoring the two figures sitting side by side in front of him
On several occasions, Bai Yan became exasperated and proposed giving Kang Jian a key. Kang Jian resolutely refused, stating with righteous indignation: "Now that we are divorced, this house belongs solely to you. I still hold this key. In the eyes of others, we are entangled in an unclear and ambiguous situation. What does this resemble?"
Now, Leader Kang does not speak much, nor does he glance around; one might say he does not see anyone else except for this woman whose dimples shine when she smiles
Bai Yan was puzzled, "Don't you have a car?" Hua Xing's Mediterranean-style forehead was swaying in front of the car window
"Are you going to get it now, or after the meal?" Bai Yan asked as naturally as possible, leaning closer to Leng Feng, where there was a patch of shade.
Leader Kang, could you please move everything at once instead of taking it piece by piece like a mouse carrying rice? If you are worried about the hassle, I can arrange for a vehicle to help you transport it, and I can also deliver a wardrobe for you. Bai Yan opened the cabinet, found the striped suit that Kang Jian had specified, and tried to speak in a friendly and humorous manner, wrapping the request in a light and lively tone, while keeping the volume low to avoid being overheard by Leng Feng, who was having tea in the living room.
"Is it convenient for me to catch a ride?" Leader Kang's gaze steadily and assuredly fell on Leng Feng, indicating that this question was directed at him
Li Zehao's face was stiff as he started the engine, the motorcycle sputtering as he desperately chased after the vehicle ahead
A few young nurses have joined the hospital this time, and Ma Jia has taken a liking to one of them. He has been pursuing her fervently these past two days! At the red light ahead, Leng Feng stopped the car and looked at Bai Yan
"Doctor Leng, let's first go to my rented place, and then we can go eat," Bai Yan said with an apologetic smile at Leng Feng.
The young nurse initially thought it was the senior's concern and gratefully accepted it. When others pointed out to Ma Jia, she hurriedly shyly told Ma Jia that she already had a boyfriend. Ma Jia, infuriated, gritted his teeth and rushed to the dean's office, stating that in the future, when hiring young nurses, it must be clearly indicated on the resume whether or not they have a boyfriend.
Leng Feng stared in astonishment, looking at Bai Yan with confusion
Kang Jian took off his suit and threw it onto the bed, then took the striped suit and put it on slowly. After that, he walked to Bai Yan's dressing mirror and glanced at it, seemingly not paying attention to what Bai Yan had just said.
In the future, every few days, Leader Kang will ask Bai Yan to bring the keys to pick up the clothes for washing and changing, and conveniently leave the clothes that are not worn here, which annoys Bai Yan greatly. Sometimes, the most troublesome part is when Leader Kang has to attend a meeting and needs to change clothes at the last minute; he will call Bai Yan in the middle of the night, and Bai Yan, still half-asleep, has to get out of bed and follow him to the car to go home and get the clothes
Now we are talking about low-carbon living. There is no need to deploy two cars for a single suit, not to mention that Boss Hua has other matters to attend to. If it is inconvenient, then...
The green light was on, and Leng Feng started the car. He glanced at Kang Jian, who was sitting in the back, putting away his pen and placing the manuscript into his briefcase. Kang Jian then raised his head, his gaze fixed straight on the back of Bai Yan's head
"You are not the introducer, so next time there is a blind date, do not accompany her again. Hmm?" Leng Feng's tone rose at the end, and he shifted part of his vision to look at her
Although Leng Feng has had his share of romantic encounters, he views women through a lens that differs from that of most people, perhaps due to the early loss of his parents. His primary desire is for a partner who is considerate, followed by filial piety, and then a gentle and composed personality, akin to the warm breeze of March. During his school years and after entering the workforce, he had two girlfriends, neither of whom lasted long. The current generation of girls, being only children and often coming from affluent families, sometimes behave like pampered princesses. They expect their boyfriends to cater to their every whim, often resorting to tears, sulking, capriciousness, and a desire for indulgence, which feels very pragmatic. Gradually, Leng Feng became somewhat disheartened. He reassured himself that perhaps fate had not yet arrived, and he decided to stop rushing into finding a girlfriend, focusing all his energy on work. When he met Bai Yan through Ming Tian, he could hardly believe it; she was clearly the woman he had been searching for all along.
Li Zehao appeared to be oblivious, yet he continued to exert greater effort
"Slow down, slow down." The vehicle jolted violently, and the dust was so thick that it obscured the view ahead. Yi Tongtong, frustrated, twisted Li Zehao's back.
This matter seems suspicious, but when it comes down to it, there is nothing at all. Leader Kang left with nothing, dressed quite simply in a short-sleeved white shirt and a pair of ash-gray trousers, swinging his arms as he discarded his savings, property deeds, and all the keys to his home, moving into the government guesthouse
This reason is reasonable, and thus the white goose agreed
The white goose waved its hand, "Don't mention this matter. Liu Jing said she is a 'loser magnet', not knowing where she dug up such a gem. The one we saw the day before yesterday said his hair was like barbed wire, his belly like Mount Fuji, and his height like that of a dwarf. She cried right in front of him."
Kang Jian had a blank expression, as if he were wandering in the clouds, yet Leng Feng still noticed that his brows were slightly furrowed
Yet heaven still favored him, granting him the opportunity to meet the current, liberated swan once again
