Chapter 541 Women Differ from One Another

Leng Weiwei hesitates for a long time before answering the call.

Yi Yuntian is such a cunning fox. If she does not answer it, she believes that lots of things concerning her will be exposed.

“What is it?” After pressing the answering button, Leng Weiwei asks simply.

She cannot say too much as whatever she says may betray her.

“Dear, miss me?”

“… This is why you called me?”

“Hoho, do you need to work overtime today?”

The words relieve Leng Weiwei, which proves that now the man hasn’t known she is not being honest with him yet.

“Well, that depends. If I’m gonna hang out or eat something after work, that’ll be too late. So don’t wait for me. Anything may come up…”

“Eek? It seems very noisy at your end. Where are you?”

The words bring her heart into her mouth.

D*mn. She only considered whether to take the phone call or not but totally ignored her current location!

This is a plaza, which is surely noisy!

Leng Weiwei ponders for a moment and then replies in exasperation, “Now I’m outside. Need me to report my coordinates?”

“Weiwei, as long as you miss me, it really doesn’t matter whether now I am with you or not. Come on. Blow a kiss. Mwah!”

Yi Yuntian immediately blows a kiss and it comes to Leng Weiwei’s ears through the line, making her get goose bumps.

“Haven’t your ex-girlfriends complained that you are so nauseating?”

“No, they would only ask for more.”

Leng Weiwei rolls her eyes and suddenly feels that she has asked such a stupid question.

“Fine. Listen up, I hate it. I’m not a lass anymore. I am a woman of dozens of years old. Oh, by the way, you are also a man of my age. You are an old boy, Mr. Yi. Let’s cut the crap, which is sickening.”

Yi Yuntian does not respond.

Yi Yuntian’s silence makes Leng Weiwei feel empty.

Are her words a little bit too harsh?

Yi Yuntian is just teasing her, but she ticks him off.

“Yi Yuntian…”

“Weiwei.” Yi Yuntian cuts her off and then says with great seriousness, stressing each word, “Maybe the way I express myself discomforts you. I am sorry. Let’s talk it over when I return tonight. But there’s one thing I want you to understand, which is that everyone deserves love and happiness, no matter what kind of person she is.”

Leng Weiwei’s pupils shrink and she is stunned.

Everyone deserves love and happiness, no matter how old she is.

Does it include her?

Deputy Editor Leng was not in the company. It seems impossible for her to finish the work!

Jing Shu takes a glance at the wall clock, which says it is seven thirty at night.

Luckily, there is an evening party at the Elderly Social Center, so her mother can be well taken care of. Otherwise, she would be very hungry at home now.

Her mother has a mental disorder and won’t eat anything until she returns. In the past, no matter how busy she was before, she wouldn’t work until she had dinner when it was time.

Deputy Editor Leng is not around today. Her assistant cannot deal with so many things at one time, so she offers to do many of the things that Deputy Editor Leng hasn’t finished yet,

It includes some big shots that Leng Weiwei hasn’t had time to interview yet and some interview reports which need to be finalized. The things are not so important, but it will take a long time for her to finish them.

At the moment, she really admires Deputy Editor Leng, who is able to do so much work by herself. She is really a strong and competent woman!

After finishing revising the last interview report, Jing Shu pushes the keyboard away and lets out a long sigh of relief.

The wall clock says it is eight thirty-five.

Gosh, it has been an hour! She thinks there has only been a minute!

D*mn, mother!

Jing Shu hurriedly draws out her phone and dials her mother’s number.

She soon gets through, “Hello, Shu. I’m Aunt Fang. Now I’m at your home.”

Aunt Fang, the person in charge of the Elderly Social Center, is really nice.

Aunt Fang’s voice relieves Jing Shu, “Hi, Aunt Fang. I’m still working in the office and now I’ve just finished my work. I’ll return soon. Thank you very much for taking care of my mom today.”

“Not at all! We are a family. Don’t mention it. Shu, have you had dinner yet?”

“Yes. Aunt Fang, I’m leaving now. Please look after my mom before I return.”

“Sure, I will. Be careful on the way and don’t drive too fast. I’ll stay with your mom. Just rest assured.”

“OK! Thanks, Aunt Fang!” As soon as Jing Shu hangs up the phone, she takes her bag and rushes outside.

Aunt Fang’s presence eases her. But Aunt Fang also has her own family. They must be worried as it is after eight.

The motorcycle is racing on the road. The nearer Jing Shu approaches her home, the warmer she feels.

Every time she arrives home, her mom will always greet her with a smile, “Oh… Here’s my babe!”

All her unhappiness will be erased from her mind the moment she sees the smile on her mother’s face.

Suddenly, Jing Shu’s motorcycle jerks to a stop. And then she fixes her eyes on a corner of the street, astonished!

They are Zhang Hai and Christine!

The table is covered with special fried dishes. Christine is enjoying them, “In fact, I think the food here is better than in the other countries. It’s easy to cook, but it tastes great!”

Her words take a load off Zhang Hai’s mind.

He can only afford to invite the beauty to have meals in such a place.

There are many cost-effective dishes.

He thought Christine, an elegant beauty, would not like it. He had butterflies in his stomach on the way here. But Christine’s expectant face made him brace himself to come.

No sooner had they sat down than they attracted everyone’s attention. Truth to tell, Zhang Hai was satisfied when sensing that. But on the other hand, he also dreaded.

If the beauty of mixed blood didn’t like it here, he would feel humiliated.

But luckily, the army uniform graces him.

As soon as the waiter brought over the menu, Christine kept asking questions like a curious little baby. Both the waiter and Zhang Hai answered her patiently. In the end, Christine ordered almost ten dishes…

Hah, he has to pay several hundred for this meal. Luckily, he has brought the beauty here. Otherwise, if he took her to a ritzy restaurant, he might have to pay tens of thousands.

Zhang Hai thinks he gets lucky.

Food is served really quickly at food stalls. In moments, the ten dishes have filled the table.

Meanwhile, the beauty Christine is taking photos enjoyably.

Zhang Hai watches her, giggling. And then he pointedly moves a bit farther away in order to make it convenient for her to take photos. But when Christine notices that, she throws her arms around him and then they take a group photo!

It is not that Zhang Hai has never gone out with any girls before. But nowadays, most families only have one child, which makes them a bit squeamish, especially girls. Besides, though his rank is not low, it hasn’t been authorized yet. Thus, many girls didn’t settle on him in the end, which saddened him a lot.

Thus, he always stayed away from girls when facing them. It was not until he met Jing Shu that he hoped for love again.

Jing Shu has a sunny personality. He feels really happy and relaxed being with her.

Truth to tell, he adores the little girl Jing Shu.

But now the feeling of being with Christine is… It is totally different from that of being with Jing Shu.

He can hear his heart pounding and feel it melting. And he even feels color flame up in his cheeks.

To hide his guilty conscience, Zhang Hai even has a few drinks.

Because in this way one’s skin will turn red.

After taking over several photos, Christine puts her photo aside and looks at Zhang Hai with piercing blue eyes, saying sincerely, “Thanks for your help and the meal.”

Zhang Hai swallows hard and his heart is racing uncontrollably when he meets Christine’s blue eyes.

After driving his boss and his sister-in-law back to the compound of the military region, he prepared to return to the High Command. On the way back, he happened to find that Christine was robbed of her handbag. As he was driving at that moment, he revved the engine and chased the robber…

“It’s nothing. I just passed by and anyone else could have done it.” Zhang Hai smiles, waving his hand, “I’m a soldier and it’s my duty to serve the people. It’s my pleasure.”

Actually, he feels uneasy about the beauty’s courtesy.

Christine purses her lips in disapproval, shaking her head, “No, I beg to differ. I kept chasing the robber and shouting for help before you showed up. But everyone around me seemed deaf, which was really strange. If I were in my country, such robbers would soon be tackled.”

Zhang Hai’s heart sinks. Though he is displeased by the words, yet facts are facts.

People here always stand aloof from things they have nothing to do with.

“Well, have you checked your handbag?” Instead of talking about the appalling stuff, Zhang Hai hastily changes the topic.

“Yep, I didn’t lose anything as the robber was soon caught.”

“Good. Enjoy the food. The dishes are getting cold. Come on.” With that, Zhang Hai helps Christine to a slice of double-cooked pork, “Have some of this. The chef here is skilled in cooking.”

Christine replies with a huge grin on her face, “Thanks. Come join me.”

Seeing the intimacy between the two persons not far away, Jing Shu feels astonished.

What the h*ll? Zhang Hai actually offers to help Christine with some food?

Today when she asked Zhang Hai out to have breakfast together, he turned her down so stiffly.

Her nose twitches and then tears mist her eyes.

At this point, she suddenly understands something.

Men are always like this. They fancy beautiful women. She thought Zhang Hai was different, but now…

Fine. She admits that she does not compare with Christine, no matter in appearance or ability. She is no match for Christine.

If she were a man, she would also prefer Christine.

It is just that it… It pains her.

She won’t take it lying down. Especially when she sees the smile on Zhang Hai’s face, she gets insanely jealous!

She has an itch to sit next to Zhang Hai now and push Christine away!

But… There is one thing she feels sure about that she cannot win Zhang Hai’s heart.

After all, Zhang Hai and she are just ordinary friends.

Besides, she is the one that has always been courting him.
