Lin Xun seemed to have seen through everything: "You don't know, Sister Yun's progress in the resort project is surprisingly fast. As the head of the publicity department, Hu Haitao must have helped a lot behind the scenes. Once a man and a woman meet, they are both lonely and single. After a few interactions, their feelings will naturally heat up."
I heard this and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but laugh: "So that's how it is. It seems that Sister Liu Yun and the others are guarding an empty room. Ruru is finally going to have her second spring."
Lin Xun sighed softly, with a bit of emotion and understanding in her tone: "Yes, which woman is willing to stay alone in an empty room for a long time, facing the endless loneliness and solitude of the long night? The relationship between her and Hu Haitao may not be as simple as love between a man and a woman, but more of two lonely hearts finding support in mutual comfort."
I frowned slightly, with a bit of disagreement and worry in my tone: "That being said, Hu Haitao is a family man after all. Behaving like this is ultimately unethical. If you were all single, it would be a good story, but if you do this, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of criticism."
Hearing this, she raised a mocking smile, her eyes full of insight and disdain for the fickleness of the world, her voice was low but every word was clear: "What's so strange about this? In this world, in the officialdom, philandering is everywhere, and flirting has long become the norm. 'The red flag is flying at home, and the colorful flags are flying outside', hum, you must have heard this saying, right? Especially for cadres like Hu Haitao, who are separated from his wife, when they are lonely, it is natural that some complications will arise."
I was shocked when I heard her talk, but pretended to be relaxed, with a bit of joking and a smile that showed that you were just looking for trouble. "Oh, from your tone, it seems that you have seen through this matter very clearly. How can you be so open-minded about this kind of romantic secret?"
Hearing this, her expression froze, and her cold snort was mixed with a bit of resentment and unwillingness, as if the softest and most reluctant corner of her heart was poked: "Don't make fun of me here! She is she, I am me, when did I say that I can let it go? If I really can let it go, of course... of course I won't..." Her voice stopped abruptly here, as if she suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. Her cheeks flushed slightly under the dim light of the street lamp. Her eyes flickered, and she looked away in panic, her hands unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes. The atmosphere became subtle and awkward for a moment.
A woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea. I keenly sensed the subtle tension in the air, and wisely realized that if I continued talking about this topic, it would be like hovering on the edge of a minefield, which could explode some buried pain at any time. In particular, once she uses the affair between Liu Yun and Hu Haitao to associate it with the painful past between her sister-in-law Yang Ruining and me, I will undoubtedly be the one who gets hurt in the end.
I quickly changed the subject and said in a seemingly relaxed but actually serious tone, "By the way, let's put Xu Tong's immigration on hold for now. Every time I mention it, she's as sensitive as a hedgehog, thinking that I'm trying every possible means to drive her to a foreign country."
She nodded slightly, with a look of understanding in her eyes: "I have been very busy recently and have not had time to push forward the immigration matter. Besides, if she doesn't cooperate, this matter can't be carried out at all." She paused for a moment, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes, and asked me: "Then how do you plan to place her?"
I smiled bitterly, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in my smile: "The baby is about to be born, how can I arrange it? Now, it all depends on her. Whatever she wants, she can do it."
A complex emotion flashed in Lin Xun's eyes, with loss and a hint of imperceptible praise: "Guan Hongjun, although you are a sentimental person and always make people worry, but at the critical moment, you are still responsible and willing to take on this responsibility."
I sighed deeply, and that sigh seemed to carry a heavy burden: "Between a man and a woman, once the word 'responsibility' is used, it basically means that love has quietly died. Your words have put the final nail in the coffin of my relationship with Xu Tong."
She was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Has it really come to this?"
I nodded, with a bit of fatigue and confusion in my tone: "The longer I'm with her, the more unfamiliar she feels to me. Why did Xu Tong, who once made my heart beat so fast, become like this?"
She sighed softly, with a bit of insight in her eyes: "You also have an unshirkable responsibility for her becoming like this. Which woman doesn't want to stay with the man she loves forever? But once you find that you can't hold on to this man, that deep sense of crisis will follow you like a shadow, making you suffocate. As a second choice, it is more practical to grab the thing in front of you that brings you a sense of security."
I saw that the topic was about to return to those disturbing sentiments, so I stood up decisively, stepped on the bicycle, and said in a nonchalant manner: "It's late at night, and the wind is cold. Let's ride back and not stand in the cold wind here."
She glanced at me with a lingering look, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Well, it's been a long time since I had such a pleasant chat with you. I feel a lot more relaxed."
I got on the bike, pedaled hard with my feet, and the bike rushed forward like an arrow, not daring to stop for even a moment. I turned around and shouted at her: "I have a skill that is more 'deep' than chatting, I guarantee it will make you feel more relaxed..."
My voice drifted away in the night wind, and I could only vaguely hear her scolding with a smile behind me: "Guan Hongjun, don't I know what you are capable of? Don't be so self-righteous, you are also good at talking..."
I rode farther and farther, laughter and words intertwined, echoing in the night sky: "No matter who said it, it's good to be happy. In life, you have to have some fun..."
