Kang Li moved to sit next to Mrs. Qi, smiled apologetically, leaned on the other’s arm, and said in a delicate voice with a giggle, "Godmother, please don’t be mad at . If I really didn’t tell you, that ans I must have forgotten, I definitely didn’t an to keep it from you!"
"Alright, alright, your godmother isn’t as forgiving as you make it sound." With a mix of helplessness and indulgence, Mrs. Qi tapped Kang Li’s nose and said, "So, you and that Comrade Xiao are colleagues now."
"Yeah." Kang Li nodded. "I just found out myself."
Mrs. Qi raised an eyebrow: "..."
Kang Li then recounted the incident of running into Xiao Jin when she ca back from buying groceries, finishing with, "If he hadn’t greeted first, I wouldn’t have even known who he was. After he left the courtyard, I felt the coincidence was a bit odd, so I thought I’d co over and ask you, godmother, to see if you knew this Comrade Xiao Jin."
"How is it a coincidence?"
Mrs. Qi asked with a smile.
Kang Li: "I was at the TV station over the weekend, and a friend of mine just told about a new Director Xiao at the station, saying he was good in this way and that, but he’s a widower. Then my friend suddenly changed the subject, saying that he was about to remarry soon,
and ntioned that the woman cos from a good family background and her personal situation is also quite favorable, but she’s a divorcee, with a four-year-old son. And here we are, I ran into him in our courtyard this morning, and couldn’t help but think about what my friend had said, and got a bit carried away with my thoughts."
Mrs. Qi: "You’re very observant!"
Kang Li: "Isn’t that being sensitive?"
"How could that be called sensitive? At most, your imagination is quite rich, allowing you to quickly connect one thing with another."
"So godmother is complinting !"
"Of course, I am praising you, no need to be modest."
Both looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.
At the sa ti, outside the research institute’s staff canteen.
"Professor Luo!"
After breakfast, Luo Yanqing, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his cleaned lunchbox, was about to step onto the path leading to the dormitory area, when a woman’s voice called out from behind him.
Frowning, Luo Yanqing paused briefly in his step, then prepared to continue walking, but the person behind him quickly caught up and called out again, "Professor Luo, could you wait a mont? I have a couple of words to say to you."
Stopping, Luo Yanqing faced her as she approached and t his gaze, speaking expressionlessly, "Please be quick."
Shen Yun gave a strained smile: "You’re really that reluctant to see , to talk to ?"
Luo Yanqing’s lips tightened, his gaze towards her exceptionally cold.
"Actually... there’s not much to it, I just... I just wanted to tell you that I registered the marriage yesterday with the person my family introduced to . His na is Xiao Jin, two years older than , working at North City TV Station..."
Seeing Luo Yanqing’s impatience in his eyes, Shen Yun seriously apologized to him, saying, "I was in the wrong for the trouble I caused you before. I’m telling you today about my remarriage just to put your mind at ease, so you know that I won’t do such thoughtless things again. If you see Comrade Kang, please also pass on my apologies to him. That’s all, goodbye!"
After speaking, Shen Yun imdiately turned and walked away.
Luo Yanqing stood there for a mont before continuing on his way.
Unexpectedly, Wen Siyuan caught up with him in a few quick steps. He glanced at Luo Yanqing and then casually asked, "Has Teacher Shen remarried? Does Group Leader Luo know?"
Luo Yanqing: "Does it have anything to do with our work?"
Wen Siyuan: "Not at all, I was just being nosy with so idle chatter." Slowing down, Wen Siyuan let Luo Yanqing walk ahead for a distance before continuing at a normal pace.
