"Can't you just call me by my name?"
"This...this isn't appropriate!"
"Then does that mean I can't call you Song Lan directly?"
"I think it's better if you call me Nurse Song at our staff hospital."
"Then do you want to change how you address me?"
"Dr. Fu or Comrade Fu, you choose one."
With a smile, Song Lan said frankly, "After all, I am married. Even in private, it would be inappropriate for me to call you by your name. If my husband knew, given his jealousy, he would definitely misunderstand."
“Comrade Fu, I think my younger sister is right. For the sake of harmony between my younger sister and brother-in-law’s family, and to prevent others from gossiping, in my opinion, it is most appropriate for my younger sister to call you Dr. Fu.”
Song Qingbin interjected.
"Brother Song is right."
Despite saying this, Fu Jinheng felt extremely bitter inside. He knew that avoiding suspicion was the right thing to do, but the thought of having to define his relationship with the person he liked as just "colleagues" made him feel a little unwilling.
Song Lan: "Dr. Fu, actually, we're already friends in my eyes. I'm very grateful that you lent me those two books. Even if we're no longer colleagues, our friendship will last forever, unless you don't want me to treat you as your friend."
Fu Jinheng: "..."
The surprise came so quickly that it took Fu Jinheng a while to react. His eyes lit up as he asked, "Are we friends now?"
"Otherwise what?"
Song Lan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, we are friends now, and we always will be!"
Fu Jinheng's handsome face was beaming with a big smile, showing just how happy he was. He said, "I thought you still only saw me as an ordinary colleague. I never imagined that I was already your friend. To be honest, I'm very happy right now!"
Song Lan smiled but didn't reply. She asked, "Comrade Wang Jingjing, has your sister already left our side?"
"I returned to the capital the same afternoon I went to your village."
Fu Jinheng sighed and said, "When she realized that what she was thinking could not become a reality, she completely let go of it and didn't stay here any longer."
“I know Xiao Yu, and he is indeed a good person. But given his ex-wife's relationship with your family, putting aside everything else, the fact that your sister is with Xiao Yu and he has to come to your door is enough to make him feel awkward.”
Your ex-wife is your wife's sister-in-law, and your brother-in-law is your ex-wife's husband. Don't make the relationships too complicated!
Let alone Xiao Yu feeling resentful, any man would probably feel uncomfortable.
Besides, given Wang Jingjing's personality and her understanding of Prime Minister Xiao, he shouldn't have any romantic feelings for that kind of girl.
reason?
Xiao Xiang came from the Great Xia Dynasty. In her memory, he was aloof and arrogant, devoted to the Great Xia and its people. Even if he were to settle his personal marriage, he would likely choose a virtuous and gentle woman as his wife.
It would be good to help him manage his household well so that he could have no worries while he was away. However, Wang Jingjing's personality is a bit unruly, so she probably won't be Prime Minister Xiao's first choice.
Furthermore, Xiao Xiang is now Xiao Yu in this world, and Xiao Yu's ex-wife has that kind of relationship with Dr. Fu and his sister. Unless he genuinely likes Dr. Fu's sister, he would probably overlook who his ex-wife is now married to.
But is that even possible?
The answer is self-evident!
