Chapter 112 Soon He'll Be My Ex-Husband
But none of that matters anymore; her main purpose in coming today is to select a suitable assistant.
Pei Senlang acted quickly and contacted the two classmates in a very short time.
Jiang Ranxing suggested that she would conduct an interview directly, and Pei Senlang readily lent her his office.
Jiang Ranxing nodded to the two youthful-looking boys and girls opposite him.
"I believe you two are ready. As a designer from the Leading Innovation Team, I will now conduct an interview with you. Is that alright?"
The two students opposite nodded, showing respect to Jiang Ranxing.
"Okay, let's begin."
Pei Senlang waited outside the office, pacing back and forth in the corridor for a long time, thinking it over and over. Finally, he came to the corridor window and lit a cigarette.
As the cigarette slowly burned out, the door to his office was opened.
Two students came out first, and then Jiang Ranxing followed them out.
Pei Senlang walked over and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Jiang Ranxing said seriously, "The two of them are very strong in their professional abilities, but their creative concepts are too different from mine, and they also lack the innovative ability I want. They are probably more suited to a more traditional design direction."
Pei Senlang understood what Jiang Ranxing meant.
Jiang Ranxing would even give him guidance as a graduate.
Pei Senlang said, "Then let me take another look for you. There are many other outstanding students in the department."
Jiang Ranxing expressed his gratitude: "Then thank you very much, Senior Pei."
Pei Senlang laughed heartily: "You're too kind, junior."
Pei Senlang glanced at his watch, nodded, and said, "It's almost noon. Junior, you probably haven't eaten yet. Would you do me the honor of having lunch with me?"
After hearing what Jiang Ranxing said, Pei Senlang made a very gentlemanly invitation gesture. The gesture was slightly humorous and funny, but it couldn't hide Pei Senlang's cheerfulness and handsomeness.
Jiang Ranxing smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."
Pei Senlang asked, "What do you like to eat? I remember you liked to eat osmanthus jelly at school when you were in school. Do you still like it now?"
"I like it. I haven't had it in years," Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment. "But how did you know I like osmanthus jelly?"
Pei Senlang blinked: "We ate there together, don't you remember, junior?"
Jiang Ranxing really couldn't remember.
Perhaps during her school years, her attention was entirely focused on Fu Shenyuan, and she didn't have much of an impression of other people.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ranxing felt that Fu Shenyuan's influence in her life seemed so irritating at this moment.
She even wanted to delete these useless, trivial memories about Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing suppressed the memories that were flooding back and then looked at Pei Senlang.
She noticed Pei Senlang's somewhat forlorn expression and then spoke.
"Senior Pei, how about we go get some osmanthus jelly?"
Hearing Jiang Ranxing ask him in return, Pei Senlang laughed again and said, "Okay, you can swipe my employee card for me. It should be enough to swipe all the food in the restaurant."
Jiang Ranxing was amused: "Senior, you're still so humorous."
Pei Senlang saw her smile and smiled back, his smile bright and sunny.
"Look at you, you should smile more. You're such a beautiful school beauty when you smile."
Jiang Ranxing realized that Pei Senlang's few words could make her laugh, and that spending time with him was always quite enjoyable.
Looking at her, Pei Senlang felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
The two arrived at the university cafeteria, which they hadn't visited in a long time. Pei Senlang ordered a bowl of osmanthus jelly for Jiang Ranxing, which was almost overflowing with toppings.
Then Pei Senlang wasn't satisfied and ordered almost every main dish and snack on the second floor of the restaurant.
The entire table was piled up, almost overflowing.
This action attracted the attention of the students who came to the restaurant to eat.
Feeling the attention from so many people, and Pei Senlang's extravagant ordering of food as if he was worried she wouldn't have enough to eat, left Jiang Ranxing feeling both amused and exasperated.
Just as Pei Senlang was about to order food, Jiang Ranxing was unable to stop him.
"Senior, that's enough, that's enough. We can't order any more, we really can't finish it all."
If we don't stop Pei Senlang, he might actually buy food from every single floor of the entire restaurant building.
Jiang Ranxing smiled and said again, "That's enough, senior. Please sit down too."
Pei Senlang smiled and sat down opposite Jiang Ranxing.
He genuinely wanted to serve all the delicious food to Jiang Ranxing.
"Okay, you try it first, and if there's anything else you want to eat, just let me know and I'll go buy it."
Pei Senlang moved the osmanthus jelly in front of Jiang Ranxing and said, "Try it, it's still the same old taste, you should like it."
Jiang Ranxing took a spoonful and put it in her mouth.
The refreshing and silky texture of the jelly and the fresh sweetness of the osmanthus honey all rush into your taste buds in an instant.
In that instant, she seemed to have truly returned to her youthful school days.
At that time, she was still quite energetic, a beautiful and dreamy young girl.
Now, after experiencing so much, especially her marriage with Fu Shenyuan that once occupied her entire life, she has long lost that naivety and has come to understand more about the realities of life and human nature.
When she ate the osmanthus jelly again, she could even taste a different flavor.
A slight bitterness hidden behind the sweetness.
Just like a beautiful love in a fantasy.
It's all just a bubble and an illusion.
Jiang Ranxing smiled, but the smile faded into the wind.
Pei Senlang looked at her and asked cautiously, "What are you thinking about? You're spacing out."
Jiang Ranxing then came to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing, the osmanthus jelly still tastes the same as before, just as delicious."
Pei Senlang assumed she simply liked the cold noodles, so he said...
"If you like, I can bring you here often. We also have many classic snacks, and they taste just as good as ever."
Pei Senlang was naturally willing to spend time on Jiang Ranxing.
However, Jiang Ranxing did not give a clear answer: "Maybe there will be a chance."
She was naturally pleased with Pei Senlang's kindness, but she really didn't like troubling others.
Pei Senlang then pushed other food items in front of Jiang Ranxing, warmly inviting her to try them.
Jiang Ranxing couldn't refuse, so he tried them all.
Pei Senlang hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone, twirled it in his hand twice, and then held it out and waved it in front of Jiang Ranxing.
"Junior, can I add you as a contact? It'll be easier to keep in touch for work and life in the future."
“Of course you can.” Jiang Ranxing took out his phone.
"I'll scan it for you," Pei Senlang said, opening the QR code for scanning.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranxing also cooperated.
With a beep, Jiang Ranxing accepted Pei Senlang's WeChat message.
Pei Senlang smiled happily and sent a laughing emoji, which was very cute. Then he casually clicked into Jiang Ranxing's Moments.
Then he saw Jiang Ranxing's WeChat Moments background image and pinned post.
Those were all group photos, one of Jiang Ranxing and a man. The man's face wasn't visible; only his chin was visible.
Jiang Ranxing also noticed Pei Senlang's gaze. Following it, Jiang Ranxing saw a photo of him and Fu Shenyuan.
In the group photo, she smiled brightly, while Fu Shenyuan's face wasn't shown. But she remembered that his face was expressionless, though he was still in the pose of being pulled along by her.
If their full faces could be captured in a photo, it would be clear that Fu Shenyuan was not very willing.
This photo was taken when they had just gotten married; she was holding Fu Shenyuan's hand.
This is actually the only photo they have together in all their years of marriage.
After all, they didn't even have a wedding photo.
So she cherished this photo immensely, even though only she knew it was Fu Shenyuan, and even though only she was happy in the photo.
Jiang Ranxing can hardly remember why she was so obsessed with Fu Shenyuan.
To maintain a burning passion amidst his icy indifference.
Now her feelings for Fu Shenyuan have truly vanished and shattered into dust, carried away by the wind.
Jiang Ranxing's eyes dimmed slightly before regaining their clarity.
Fu Shenyuan could no longer affect her emotions much.
Fu Shenyuan will only slowly become a part of her past, with no future.
Pei Senlang looked at Jiang Ranxing and tentatively asked, "Junior, is this your husband?"
Jiang Ranxing had nothing to hide, and she casually said, "Well, but he'll be my ex-husband soon."
