Chapter 512 If You Catch Me
Chapter 512 If You Catch Me
Luo Ning immediately looked away, secretly thinking that he had been so captivated by the big shot's good looks that he had forgotten to get down to business.
Xie Chang'an's angry gaze flew towards the unlucky guy who had come in. This clueless bastard just knew how to ruin his good time.
He clearly sensed that his wife still had something to say to him, but this intruder abruptly interrupted her.
Qiangzi touched his nose, looking completely innocent. What had he done that made Brother Chang'an so fierce?
Once you have a wife, you don't need your brothers anymore, huh!
Qiangzi, under Xie Chang'an's pressure, walked up to Luo Ning and gave a long report.
Xie Chang'an returned to his seat and opened the drawer.
But Binghan's gaze never left Qiangzi.
He didn't look away until Qiangzi left.
"What are you doing?" Luo Ning glared at Xie Chang'an, her cold and ruthless demeanor startling Qiangzi so much that he scrambled away.
Xie Chang'an shook his head, "I didn't do anything! Honey, how's the pomegranate juice? I'll make you some more tonight."
"Mmm!" Luo Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling. Pomegranate juice is delicious, but Xie Chang'an's pomegranate juice is even better.
"Then let's go home early tonight," Xie Chang'an strongly suggested, eager to get home right now.
His wife was exhausted from selling fruit today, and he felt sorry for her.
Work can't be finished in one day, we can continue tomorrow.
"Let's wait another hour." Luo Ning's ideas flowed like a spring, and she wanted to take advantage of this momentum to design a few more clothes.
Xie Chang'an readily agreed to the suggestion, and he could accept an hour.
When the time came, Xie Chang'an promptly went to urge Luo Ning, "Wife, it's time to get off work!"
"Oh, good!" Luo Ning finished designing the last pair of jeans and stuffed all the drafts into her bag.
"Let's go to the city government."
"Why do we have to go there? Aren't we just going straight home?" Xie Chang'an was a little dissatisfied. His wife had already made arrangements with him, but then she changed her mind at the last minute.
Moreover, he instinctively felt some resistance to going to the municipal government.
Luo Ning took Xie Chang'an's hand and intertwined their fingers.
"I was just about to tell you about this, but Qiangzi interrupted me. I'm going to treat Secretary Huo today, so it won't take long. Can you wait for me downstairs?"
Luo Ning told Xie Chang'an about the connection between Xie Chang'an and Huo Lifeng, and said indifferently, "If you feel that you can't live with yourself if you don't repay such a big favor, then I won't go. At worst, all my previous efforts will be wasted."
"Then let's go. It's not good to give up halfway." Xie Chang'an lowered his head, his gaze falling on the two people's hands.
He was pleased by the hand-holding gesture, and his resistance lessened considerably after understanding the reason behind it.
Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "There's one more thing I need to tell you!"
She laid bare her 'grudges' with Fan Lijuan, and if Xie Chang'an found out through other channels, it would be a loss if it caused resentment.
Luo Ning shook Xie Chang'an's hand and said coquettishly, "I just want Secretary Huo to get married soon, I absolutely have no other intentions!"
Xie Chang'an's expression was inscrutable. After a long silence, he finally uttered a sentence, "Xiao Ning, I want to go with you!"
"You don't believe me?" Luo Ning's expression changed instantly, and she shook off Xie Chang'an's hand.
Xie Chang hurriedly grabbed Luo Ning's hand, ignoring her struggles and holding her waist, "Wife, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that people outside don't believe you, this era doesn't believe you. Although you have good intentions, others won't think that way! So I'm going with you."
It took two lifetimes for us to come together, transcending life and death, transcending everything.
You have so many choices, and even those better than me have stayed with me through thick and thin. What do I have to doubt about you?
I understand you, but outsiders won't understand you. It's hard to say this, especially with the current chaotic situation.
Huo Lifeng is from the Huo family in the capital. His family's affairs are inherently complicated, and he has countless spies planted around him. Do you understand what I mean?
"..." Luo Ning gave up struggling. Xie Chang'an was right; she had oversimplified things.
"Then, in what capacity will you go there?"
Xie Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness, and said softly, "Ling!"
Luo Ning's eyes lit up. This was a great identity! "Commander Xie, your brain is so sexy!"
"You called me Battalion Commander Xie again!" Xie Chang'an pretended to be angry and made a move to punish Luo Ning.
Luo Ning slipped away in an instant, saying, "If you're so capable, come and chase me. If you catch me, I'll..."
Bah! Luo Ning ran into the corridor and cursed herself fiercely.
Luo Ning, your face, want to know more?
"That mischievous girl," Xie Chang'an thought with a doting smile, then locked the door and went to chase after Luo Ning.
Yu Jing looked at the two people walking past the window, feeling extremely envious.
She deliberately slowed her pace, holding the keys, and only hurried out after Luo Ning and the other person had disappeared from sight.
In the afternoon, she inquired with Assistant Yang about nearby shops and wanted to go buy some things.
She came here without bringing anything, and she lacks everything...
The company was very humane and gave her three days to settle in, so she didn't have to work overtime for the time being.
As she walked along, she noticed that everyone in every office was working overtime. Feeling a little guilty, she secretly told herself to settle down as soon as possible and work hard.
She only had one hour; she had to be back by seven o'clock to take General Manager Wang and Manager Luo back to the village.
As Luo Yang emerged from the workshop, he saw Yu Jing quickly leave. Only after watching her slender figure disappear did he turn away, walk back into the workshop, retrieve the white suit jacket from the employee locker, and throw it into the trash can.
Back in his office, Luo Yang felt inexplicably irritable. He went back to retrieve the suit jacket, unpacked it, stuffed it into the closet, and left with a dark expression.
After Luo Ning and Xie Chang'an arrived at the municipal government, they indeed encountered Fan Lijuan, who was waiting for them outside Huo Lifeng's office.
The way she looked at Luo Ning was as if she were a vixen who had destroyed someone else's family.
If it weren't for her upbringing, Fan Lijuan would have started a fight with Luo Ning right there and then.
Luo Ning pretended not to see anything, knocked on Huo Lifeng's door and went inside.
Xie Chang'an frowned and followed them inside, feeling terrible.
When he left the municipal government, he held Luo Ning's hand tightly, feeling sorry for his wife who had been treated so badly by that woman.
"Honey, you've worked so hard. This is the last time. I won't come over at night anymore!" Luo Ning and Xie Chang'an walked hand in hand into the night.
"Honey, shall we drive back?"
“Yes, it’s already dark, and the shuttle bus has long since stopped running. Yu Jing is sulking, so she definitely won’t stay in the single dormitory at the garment factory. She’ll go back to the countryside, so I asked her to take my dad and brother-in-law back with her.”
"Well, but honey, if Luo Yang goes back today too, wouldn't that be a waste of a car?"
"He won't go back. Luo Yang is too rational! He thinks Yu Jing has married someone else, so he will restrain himself from going to see Yu Jing."
Yu Jing pursued Luo Yang for a year before they got together.
It wasn't that Luo Yang disliked Yu Jing; rather, he liked her too much.
In Luo Yang's eyes, who had just left the countryside and whose horizons were still limited, Yu Jing, who was simple, unpretentious, and lively, was like an angel.
He was completely captivated at that moment, but reason brought him back to his senses.
He knew clearly that there was an insurmountable chasm between him and Yu Jing; the urban-rural divide, the wealth gap, and the family disparity made their fate obvious.
Knowing full well that this relationship had no future, Luo Yang still flew into the flame of love like a moth to a flame.
Luo Yang thought his love was dead, that his relationship with Yu Jing was over, which is why he quit his good job and returned to his hometown to heal.
Yu Jing ran away from her arranged marriage and was rejected by Luo Yang. I'm planning to introduce her to someone; girls eventually have to get married.
