Overall, the coffee this ti was quite good and rather fruitful. Of course, Liu Zhizhong had to treat himself to a premium smoke, right?
The Southern beauty Xiang Wenxin was a cute and pretty woman, with a lively and sowhat quirky personality, but not too bizarre.
Liu Zhizhong was privately sighing as he learned a bit about Feng Xiaoyue's marriage, and he even felt embarrassed to bring it up with Feng Xiaoyue later.
He also ca to understand that Feng Xiaoyue might also have dignity issues that prevented her from talking about her husband, perhaps?
Xiang Wenxin was indeed the type of woman who belonged to Qian Xuan's mysterious circle of powerful people, that was Liu Zhizhong's assessnt. She was really tight-lipped about her family. Perhaps, Liu Zhizhong just wasn't qualified to be involved in that circle? And in this world, there are natural barriers between certain classes. All that talk of fairness is just nonsense!
The only thing Liu Zhizhong could know was that her brother was nad Xiang Wenhua, 35 years old, and had been university classmates with Feng Xiaoyue.
After a failed romance, Xiang Wenhua beca disillusioned and resolutely retreated to the Longfeng Mountain Grand Canyon, shunning the world.
Ah, love, truly an annoying thing!
Most of the ti, Xiang Wenxin talked about the customs, etiquette, and the way of the world in Ningnan Province, including so interesting local and unofficial histories—it was quite engaging.
She loved to talk, and Liu Zhizhong loved to listen; he found it very interesting.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong's attention was more focused on the Nautical Museum, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ma Qingqing's shadow.
In fact, when they left the coffee shop as dusk approached, they still hadn't seen Ma Qingqing.
Fang Wenxin even teased him, saying, "How about that, you think the power of love will telepathically bring her here? But she didn't co, did she? Still, you're a married man, I've looked into it. Why are you ssing around with your forr leader's daughter on the outside?"
Liu Zhizhong said bitterly, "Miss Fang, you've misunderstood, there's nothing going on between us."
"Really nothing?"
"Really nothing..."
"Alright, I'll believe in your lies!"
Their relationship seed to have grown much closer, for they could now even have such private conversations.
Fang Wenxin drove Liu Zhizhong to the hotel, saying she couldn't possibly join him for dinner outside since she had to return ho for other family obligations.
Liu Zhizhong didn't mind; after arriving at the hotel, he went upstairs, grabbed two packs of cigarettes, and gave them all to Fang Wenxin.
Fang Wenxin was waiting for him downstairs, and when she received the cigarettes, she was a bit stunned, "You've only got two packs, right? Why give both? What will you do when the craving hits?"
"I am a man who can control his cravings, I can go without smoking. You like them, so I'll give them to you. Besides, you can't get these cigarettes around here anyway."
Holding the cigarettes, Fang Wenxin poked him in the chest with a raised hand, "You're pretty straightforward, huh? Thanks!"
"Don't ntion it, it's the least I can do. You've been a great help this ti."
"Alright, no more talk, I have to go. I'll pick you up tomorrow!"
After saying that, Fang Wenxin turned around, slung her bag over her shoulder, and trotted off happily with the two packs of cigarettes.
That charming shadow, all of a sudden, took on the air of a smug little girl, and Liu Zhizhong was montarily stunned, brimming with interest...
Back in the presidential suite, Liu Zhizhong ordered dinner to his room, took a bath, visited the minibar, poured so wine, grabbed so snacks, sat by the window, and enjoyed the wind, the moon, and the stars. He was quite at ease.
He wasn't a heartless man, it was just that Xiang Wenxin was pushing everything forward with full force, leaving him with no role to play.
Instead of worrying, he might as well relax and enjoy the present. Who knows what twists, hardships, and disappointnts the future holds?
When it was ti to go to bed, and it was already past nine at night, he suddenly received a ssage from Feng Xiaoyue...
