It would be strange if she could let go easily.
He didn't want to add to the trouble, so he would just wait until his cousin gave birth to a baby next month and then send the whole family away and be done with it. There was no need to create unnecessary complications.
So he said to Pan Xiaohua, "Just tell her that I don't mean that. It has nothing to do with whether I have a partner or not. Tell her not to mess around with me."
"This..." Pan Xiaohua looked at the girl behind Fu Huaiyi and nodded.
She was not stupid. After hearing what he said, she guessed that the other party probably had no plans to announce their relationship for the time being.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to go downstairs."
Pan Xiaohua hurried downstairs.
After closing the door, Lin Yuyao asked him, "Do you believe what she said?"
"Xin, my cousin called me today to remind me to be careful of this mother and daughter. She was worried that they were plotting against me."
This is really...
"Then why let them live here?"
"My uncle was worried that my aunt and Wang would fight, so he arranged for them to live far away. This house is the farthest from their home."
Fu Huaiyi asked her carefully, "Is my trouble making you uncomfortable?"
"Ah?" Lin Yuyao shook her head and said, "No."
Fu Huaiyi said, "I was actually quite worried after receiving a call from my cousin today. You saw that Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing were not doing well, so you kicked him out. I... I was worried that my troubles would make you feel bad, so I kicked me out too."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "That's different."
"Well, how is it different? Is it because you dreamed that he betrayed you?"
"No, everyone is an independent individual. You can't stop other people from thinking. So it doesn't matter how many people introduce you to. What matters is what you think.
The conflict between me and Lu Jiangting is not about how many problems Lu Jiangting has, but that he has no boundaries, never deals with those problems, and even prevents me from dealing with them. The biggest conflict between him and me is that he has crossed the line. "
Fu Huaiyi nodded, "I won't let you have any trouble. If there is any trouble, I will handle it myself."
"Life is too long. You today cannot stop your behavior tomorrow. You don't have to say this to me. I only believe what you say today."
Listening to her words, he felt sad and distressed.
But it doesn't matter.
Some vows need to be proven by actions throughout a lifetime, rather than just words.
…
About a week later, the sample book of the next volume arrived in Lin Yuyao's hands. While flipping through the sample book, she answered Song Qin's call.
"The first batch of complete editions will be available before the New Year, and your first order for the next volume will be sent to you before the New Year."
"Sister Qin, thank you."
"Why are you being polite? No thanks, you deserve it."
"By the way, I remember you are from another place, are you going back to your hometown for the New Year?"
"Yes, I want to go home."
"So when are you coming home?"
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we'll leave in early January."
By then it was almost time for Lin Ping to go on vacation.
"Oh, that's coming soon. I was originally planning to hold a book signing for you when the full volume comes out, but since you're going home for the New Year, let's talk about it after the New Year."
ah?
"Do you want an autograph here?" She is a bit socially anxious.
"No need. Readers have already shown great interest in your hazy cover photo. Let's keep it a secret for a while. First show the words, and then consider showing your face."
Lin Yuyao heaved a sigh of relief.
"OK."
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again and Lu Jiangting came again.
This time he actually brought a bouquet of flowers, what a psycho.
Lu Jiangting handed the flowers to her with a painful look on his face. "You always say I'm stingy, but look, I bought you flowers. You don't know how expensive flowers are in this season. It's better to buy fruit cookies instead. I know it's a big loss to buy flowers, but I also know you like them, so I bought them anyway."
Lin Yuyao looked at him as if he were a lunatic.
He is just that kind of person. After compromising and giving in, he still has to say a few words to disgust you.
His family conditions are not that good, and he is definitely not the kind of person who can waste money. When spending money, the first thing he thinks of is cost-effectiveness, and he tries to save as much as possible.
He can spend money to buy flowers at this season, which is really cutting into his flesh.
But, it was obviously he who wanted to cut the meat, so why did he have to sarcastically accuse her of wasting it?
It was as if she had forced him to buy it.
He is getting more and more crazy.
"If you have this money, why not take it to the hospital and have your brain checked out?"
After saying that, she locked the door of the bookstore.
She was the last one to leave today. She locked the door and got off work.
Fu Huaiyi was not here this week. It seemed that his cousin was about to give birth and everyone was taken to the hospital, so he went to help keep an eye on her.
There is still half a month left before the due date, and birth within half a month is not considered premature.
Lu Jiangting sighed helplessly and followed Lin Yuyao with the flowers in his arms.
"Yuyao, I originally wanted to go back to my hometown with you during the Chinese New Year and hold our wedding first, but... Alas! It's my turn to be on duty this year, and I can't take a day off, not even for a single day. My wedding leave is wasted again, I... I'm really sorry."
Lin Yuyao, who was walking in front, was startled.
I wondered what this person was thinking.
She said such harsh words, but he didn't listen to a word she said.
He actually still wants to marry me?
Lin Yuyao was speechless. She felt that he really needed to have his head examined.
Lin Yuyao did not return to her own home, but took Lu Jiangting to Fang Qing's home.
Lu Jiangting was immersed in pain and kept talking on and on.
Sometimes he mentioned their past, sometimes he apologized to her. It was not until he had climbed two flights of stairs that he realized that this was the way to Fang Qing's home.
"Yuyao, where are you going?"
Lin Yuyao ignored him and continued climbing the stairs.
When she reached Fang Qing's home, she knocked on the door without hesitation.
"Who is it?"
While saying this, Fang Qing did not stop and quickly opened the door.
Today is Saturday and Lu Jiangting is not at work.
She has no friends here, so who else could knock on her door except Lu Jiangting?
Lin Yuyao heard the sound of the door opening and quickly hid aside.
So, when Fang Qing opened the door, she happened to see Lu Jiangting coming up the stairs.
The bunch of bright red flowers immediately came into view.
"It's so beautiful, Jiang Ting, is this for me?"
Perhaps the flower was too beautiful and attractive, Fang Qing only had Lu Jiangting and the flower in her eyes, and she didn't even think about how a person who just came upstairs could possibly knock on her door.
Lu Jiangting looked at Lin Yuyao who was hiding by the door in surprise.
"No, Yuyao...I bought it for Yuyao."
Now he started to explain.
Lin Yuyao wanted to laugh.
Given Lu Jiangting's work style, if it were in the past, he would definitely be worried about hurting Fang Qing's self-esteem and would have gone along with Fang Qing and given the things he bought for her to Fang Qing.
Then he pulled her aside and explained that she had no husband and was more sensitive.
Give it to her this time and I’ll compensate you next time.
