Return to Taiheyuan in the evening.
I don’t know whether Zheng Pei was waiting for Li Lin downstairs intentionally, or if it was just a coincidence, but the two met unexpectedly again.
Qiao An, who was following Li Lin upstairs, saw Li Lin stop in front of a beautiful woman and immediately showed confusion in her eyes.
"Brother, why don't you leave?" Qiao An asked Li Lin who was standing in front of him.
Li Lin stood sideways at the entrance of the building and said to Qiao An with a smile, "You go upstairs first."
Qiao An glanced at Li Lin, then looked at Zheng Pei curiously, scratched his head and went upstairs first.
After a while, only Li Lin and Zheng Pei were left in the corridor, staring at each other...
Zheng Pei looked at Li Lin with a gleam in her eyes, twinkling with tears.
Li Lin smiled at her and said, "You just got off work too?"
Zheng Pei shook her head and said expressionlessly, "I came back a long time ago and was secretly looking downstairs, afraid of missing you. When I saw you get off the car, I hurried out to greet you."
meet?
I thought it was an unexpected meeting, but it turned out that she was waiting for him.
Li Lin knew that Zheng Pei had something to say to him, so he took the initiative to say, "Okay, let's go out for a walk."
Zheng Pei shook her head and said, "Come to my house. You are a county leader now. It is not convenient for you to show up outside all the time."
Li Lin was silent. After thinking about it, it was true. It would be hard to explain if he met an acquaintance when he took the beautiful deputy director of a government office out for a walk in the middle of the night.
"Let's go."
Li Lin smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and walked up the stairs first.
Zheng Pei looked at Li Lin's indifferent back, and a trace of bitterness rose in her heart...
Still so cold?
Even if that kind of relationship happened, I still can't get into your heart?
Zheng Pei bit her lip lightly, sniffed, and followed Li Lin.
Walk into the house.
Zheng Pei suppressed the sadness in her heart and poured a glass of water for Li Lin.
The two sat down on the sofa side by side.
Li Lin picked up the transparent glass, took a sip, and put it down gently.
Turned his head and looked at Zheng Pei.
Just at this moment, Zheng Pei was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
What Li Lin saw in Zheng Pei's eyes was a strong desire...
And what Zheng Pei read in Li Lin's eyes was plain as water...
Zheng Pei lowered her head in disappointment and sobbed.
Li Lin couldn't help but frowned and sighed, "Don't cry, I feel upset when you cry."
Zheng Pei wiped her tears, forced a smile, lowered her head and asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you contact me? What position do I hold in your heart?"
Finally, Zheng Pei asked this question.
Once upon a time, Li Lin also thought about this question.
What position does Zheng Pei hold in his heart?
Before Xu Wen appeared, he had considered developing a proper relationship with Zheng Pei.
But the appearance of Xu Wen made him suddenly realize what true love is.
He reluctantly married Zheng Pei out of guilt, and it was not true love from the bottom of his heart...
Since it is a wrong marriage, if she continues to force it, it will only hurt Zheng Pei more.
A short pain is worse than a long pain...
Li Lin hardened his heart and squeezed out two words from his mouth, "Friend."
friend?
Zheng Pei was stunned.
She seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking...
She had silently done so much for Li Lin, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking.
So pitiful!
So sad!
Zheng Pei smiled bitterly, lowered her head, and tears fell again.
She cried and said, "I know you look down on me. You think I am the kind of woman who does not behave properly. I know I am not worthy of you. You are the county leader, and I...Okay, I have asked all the questions I should ask. I am heartbroken. I will not pester you anymore...You can go..."
Li Lin felt like something stabbed his heart.
He looked at Zheng Pei, who was somewhat emotionally broken, and felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
Even so, he hardened his heart, slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
As I said, if you don’t love, why bother to dwell on it? Temporary sadness will pass quickly, but a lifetime of sadness will drive you crazy.
Just as Li Lin walked to the door and put his hand on the door handle, Zheng Pei suddenly stood up and hugged Li Lin from behind.
She sobbed, "Don't leave, you actually like me, right? You just lied to me, right? Please... Just let me stay with you, even if it's just to be your lover, don't be so cruel, please don't leave me, okay?"
Li Lin was moved for a moment when he saw Zheng Pei's retention and request.
He didn't expect Zheng Pei'ai to be so humble that she was willing to be Li Lin's lover...
She is very beautiful, a flower run by the government... The people pursuing her may be lined up outside the universe...
Li Lin gently opened her arms, turned around, faced her, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped her.
When it comes to relationships between men and women, he seems clumsy and has low emotional intelligence...
He sighed, "Pepe, don't be like this. If I were the kind of casual person, would you still have a good impression of me? If we really develop into a lover relationship, what will you do in your next life? I don't want to ruin you because of my selfish desires..."
Zheng Pei felt Li Lin's tenderness as he wiped her tears, and looked at Li Lin with affection in his eyes. She couldn't hear anything now. She just wanted to keep Li Lin, even if it was just to hold him for a while, even if it was just to feel the scent on his body...she would be content.
...
upstairs.
Qiao An gossiped to Li Rong, "Aunt, when I came back with my brother just now, I ran into a beautiful woman downstairs. My brother sent me upstairs, and he went into the house with that beautiful woman...Aunt, my brother didn't have anything with that beautiful woman, did he?"
Li Rong was knitting a sweater at the time. She looked up at the gossiping Qiao An, took out a thick needle and tapped Qiao An on the head, "Why do you care so much? If you have time, you should pay attention to your own affairs. Tell me, how is the progress between you and the girl from the village?"
Qiao An scratched her head and smiled, then said shyly, "Aunt, there is no progress, just holding hands..."
Li Rong burst out laughing and said, "Who asked about your progress in that area? I was asking whether you have reached the stage of discussing marriage."
Are you asking this?
Qiao An was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
His face flushed and he said awkwardly, "We are discussing buying a house. Once we have a home, we will consider getting married."
Li Rong nodded and smiled, "Yes, you have made a good decision. Be nice to her and don't let her be with you in vain..."
"Of course. As long as Cui Xinyu follows me, I will make her the happiest woman in the world. Hehe... I have thought about it. After we get married, I will take care of all the housework. When we have children in the future, I won't let her take care of the children... Don't worry, I won't let her suffer any hardship." Qiao An smiled innocently.
Li Rong smiled, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corners of her mouth, as if she was recalling something. She murmured to herself, "Yes, how can a man let a woman suffer..."
