“But she’s the only one who can make my heart flutter… Isn’t that love?” Luo Tianming looked at Liu Ning. He talked about love every day. Wasn’t his love for Comrade Xia Lan love?
"That's immoral! She's a married woman! You two are destined to be apart!" Liu Ning frowned. When did Luo Tianming become such a paranoid person?
"Then why don't they just get a divorce? In the face of love, everyone is equal," Luo Tianming said earnestly.
Looking at Luo Tianming, who was becoming increasingly uncooperative, Liu Ning felt that he seemed to be sick.
Xia Lan had only drawn half of the base map when it got dark. The project was too big to be completed in a single day.
"Comrade Xia Lan, let's continue tomorrow! It's already getting dark, and if we keep drawing, we'll be in the dark," Li Jianmin advised. Xia Lan nodded and climbed down the ladder.
Luo Tianming strode over to the ladder and held it up for Xia Lan.
"Thank you." Xia Lan nodded to Luo Tianming, then joined the others in packing up their things, preparing to leave work.
"Comrade Xia Lan, let's go together!" Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Luo Tianming came to Xia Lan's side.
Xia Lan paused, but Luo Tianming didn't say anything strange, so Xia Lan didn't dare to make a scene.
I could only manage a faint smile. "No need, my house isn't on the same route as yours."
Li Jianmin glanced at Xia Lan and Luo Tianming, then waved to Luo Tianming. Luo Tianming glanced at Xia Lan's back and had no choice but to run to Li Jianmin's side first.
"Old Li, why did you call me over?"
"I'm asking you what you're doing. Why are you being so blatant? What are you trying to do?" Li Jianmin knew that Xia Lan had a husband; he had already seen her information.
The fact that Luo Tianming was paying so much attention to Xia Lan was a bit puzzling.
“I like her,” Luo Tianming said earnestly, glancing at Li Jianmin.
"Have you gone stupid from studying? She's already married." Li Jianmin frowned. He had never realized Luo Tianming was this kind of person before.
How could he like a married woman?
"I don't like married women, I just like her." Luo Tian glanced at Li Jianmin, understanding. "Only her, understand?"
"Get lost, stop being so foolish. Anyone else is fine, but not her," Li Jianmin warned.
"Why!" Luo Tianming didn't understand.
“Because she’s already married, she has a husband, and her husband isn’t you!” Li Jianmin felt that Luo Tianming really had something wrong with him.
It's like they can't understand human speech.
"Then I'll just become her man, right?" Luo Tianming thought it wasn't difficult; there were divorced people around these days.
If Xia Lan divorces her husband, wouldn't it be easy for her to marry him?
"Are you trying to drive me crazy? Is this how it works?" Li Jianmin was furious.
"Then don't worry about it! I know what I'm doing!" Luo Tianming walked away quickly, ignoring Li Jianmin's calls.
Looking at Luo Tianming, Li Jianmin sighed heavily. How was he going to explain this to the boy's mother?
This kid suddenly became stubborn.
As soon as Xia Lan stepped out of the factory gate, Luo Tianming caught up with her and insisted on taking her home.
"Comrade Luo Tianming, is there anything I can help you with?" Xia Lan didn't want to make a bad impression from the start, so she asked him politely why he was following her.
"I just... wanted to take you home," Luo Tianming said nervously, his face flushed as he looked at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan frowned slightly at his gaze and demeanor. "Comrade Luo Tianming... I'm a married woman. I think it would be better if we went our separate ways. What do you think?"
Now that things have been said to this extent, Luo Tianming should understand, right?
However, Luo Tianming didn't think in that direction at all, assuming that Xia Lan was really asking him what he meant.
"Comrade Xia... Xia Lan, I don't think there's any problem. We shouldn't pay attention to other people's opinions..."
"How could there be no problem? This is my wife. Even though you're here to deliver her, what do you mean?" Qin Yu's voice rang out behind Xia Lan. Before Xia Lan could even feel happy, Qin Yu grabbed Luo Tianming and lifted him up.
"What do you mean by this? Why are you being so attentive to my wife? She clearly told you to be sensible and leave, so why are you still clinging to her?"
Qin Yu came to pick up Xia Lan, only to see Luo Tianming running over to bother her again. Even though he clearly heard Xia Lan chase him away, he shamelessly said he didn't care what others thought.
It was obvious that he wanted to be with Xia Lan, and he wouldn't leave even if people misunderstood him.
How could he possibly tolerate this?
This man is coveting his wife.
No man could tolerate that.
"You and Comrade Xia Lan are completely mismatched. You're so rude, you only know how to solve problems with your fists. You're not good enough for her." Luo Tianming, unafraid of death, still provoked Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was furious and wanted to punch him, but Luo Tianming said again, "Go ahead and hit him! Only if you hit someone in front of Comrade Xia Lan will she see your true colors!"
"Has this kid lost his mind?" Xia Lan looked at Luo Tianming with a puzzled expression.
Luo Tianming thought Xia Lan had softened her heart and was about to speak when he heard Xia Lan say, "Brother Yu, give him two punches."
"Just what I wanted." Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Qin Yu showed no mercy and punched Luo Tianming twice, knocking him to the ground.
It happened to be the time when everyone was leaving get off work, and all the workers who saw this scene gathered around.
Looking at Luo Tianming, Xia Lan, and Qin Yu, they all felt that Qin Yu was in the wrong for hitting someone.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Qin Yu, Xia Lan snorted and took two steps forward, speaking to Luo Tianming.
"Comrade Luo Tianming, please don't say such things again. I am a married woman. Please keep your distance from me. This is a warning from my husband. Next time, it won't be so simple."
"Wow..." Xia Lan's brief words revealed why Luo Tianming had been beaten by Qin Yu. A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd.
He was trying to seduce a woman, and got beaten up by her husband!
That's exactly what they deserved!
"Brother Yu, let's go!" Xia Lan looked at Luo Tianming, who was lying silently on the ground, and left with Qin Yu.
Seeing Xia Lan pulling Qin Yu to leave, Luo Tianming stood up and raised his voice to ask.
"Why do you still follow such a rude and violent man? What do I lack compared to him?"
"What makes you so confident that you can surpass him?" Xia Lan coldly turned to look at Luo Tianming.
"Just because you're better off than him, does that mean I should abandon him and be with you? If someone is this fickle, next time she sees a man who's better off than you, will she just throw herself into someone else's arms?"
Luo Tianming was taken aback.
"Is marriage based on conditions? Marriage is a responsibility, a promise, and a trust. Being faithful to one's husband after marriage is the most basic moral obligation. Moreover, I love my husband very much. Apart from these responsibilities, there is also love."
Xia Lan grasped Qin Yu's hand and raised it.
