Part Three, Chapter 74: Empathy

abandoning his usual nonchalant air.Li Anna also saw Lu Kuo come in and hurriedly stood up to greet him."Lu Kuo didn't even glance at her, instead addressing Shu Tinglan familiarly: "Shu Tinglan, are...After listening, Chen Ling's psychological pressure rose sharply. Of course, she wanted to marry her uncle and have children with him, to spend their lives together. This was something she had dreamed of.

But in her eyes, true marriage must be equal, at least not too disparate. She was putting all her effort into running towards that direction. If she got married and had children now, she would inevitably be held back.

But she simultaneously understood, very deeply, Song Mom's earnest desire as a mother.

Song Jingye had finished talking with his father and came out of the study.

Song's mother got up and called the nanny: "It's time for dinner."

A group of people sat in the restaurant, eating and chatting happily.

Song's mother said, "If you count it, you've known each other for about seven or eight years now Back then, Xiaoning was still a high school student"

Song Jingye replied, "Yes."

"I was really worried about you before, among all the children in the courtyard, only you were aimless and I thought you would end up as a monk for life. But look at you now, secretly raising a wife! In the old days, Xiaoning would be considered a childhood bride for our family, fate is truly deep."

Song Jingye frowned slightly: “What do you mean by ‘child bride’ She walks her own path, relying on herself completely, not me at all.”

Chen Ning quickly stated, “How could I have gotten here without you If it weren't for you, where would I be today”

Song's mother smiled: "I told you, Xiao Ning is the most sensible. Grateful children are always good."

Song Jingye whispered, "Idiot," at her. Doesn't he know to speak up for her

Chen Ning's heart ached slightly. Of course she knew. But she also understood the meaning behind Song Ma's words.

After dinner, Chen Ling came out of the Song family and got in the car. She picked up the bouquet she had just put on the passenger seat and said to her uncle, "Thank you, Uncle. I like it very much."

The main flower is a sunflower, she likes it very much.

Song Jingye: "Do you know why I sent you sunflowers I hope you can always grow freely towards the sun, without any burdens."

Chen Ning turned her face almost burying it in the flowers, a prickly sensation on her cheek and a sourness at the tip of her nose. After a while, she looked up: "Uncle, do you like children"

"Not a fan." Song Jingye replied without looking back, his eyes still on the road.

This was beyond Chen Ning's expectations. She had spent half the day organizing her words, wanting to use this as a topic to talk to him about marriage and relationships, but it turned out to be completely useless.

He could only ask, "Why"

"I don't like it, just don't like it. There's no need to ask why" He answered very resolutely.

This gave Chen Ling a long sigh of relief in his heart, at least he wasn't as eager as his mother, he had much less pressure.

If he wants it, no matter what the situation is, she will try her best to cooperate with him.

"Uncle, if you ever want children, just let me know."

Song Jingye had been driving without much expression, but upon hearing her words, he couldn't help but smile: "You make it sound so easy. What Can you just conjure up a child whenever you want"

He smiled, and Chen Ling's one night of suppressed emotions vanished. She laughed along with him: "Anyway, as long as you want to."

"Don't overthink it, just do your own thing." Song Jingye said finally.

The list of members for this visit has finally been released. Chen Ling took one glance and saw both her name and Xu Haocheng's on it. She was so excited, especially seeing Xu Haocheng's name - she was even happier than seeing her own. It showed that their department leaders trusted him again.

Xu Haichen also sent her a victory emoji at the same time, she replied with a smiley face, everything was unspoken.

Reminiscing about the time she went abroad for a cultural exchange conference with Professor Zhao back when they were in school, Xu Haichen had given up her spot to her. She had been disappointed at the time for not being able to go together, but this time, the opportunity had finally arrived.

A sound of a chair scraping against the table came from behind her. Because it was quite loud, she turned her head and saw Tao Kaiyan leaving her position with red eyes and walking towards the door.

Chen Ning paused her hand holding the mouse, then turned back to look at the list that brought her joy.

During her student days, she felt guilty towards Tao Kaiyan because she got the chance to study abroad while Tao Kaiyan didn't. She even dared not show her happiness and excitement in front of her. But now, she no longer feels guilty. She won't feel bad for being happy when others are unhappy. As long as the opportunity she has achieved is fair and square, she has the right to be happy and unafraid of other people's stares.

In the afternoon, she went to Mr. Zhang's office to express her gratitude.

Chapter Teacher: "Is the list of people going on the visit out yet"

"It's done, thank you, Teacher Zhang. I know it was you who recommended me." Without Teacher Zhang's recommendation, there are so many outstanding colleagues in her department, she wouldn't have been chosen.

Chapter Teacher didn't deny it, only said: "Work hard, don't shame me."

Chen Ling immediately raised her voice: "Guarantee to complete the task perfectly, and not disappoint the teacher's cultivation."

The two of them had gone through the experience of building a museum from scratch, and they had also experienced evacuating under gunfire together. They could be considered comrades-in-arms, so their relationship was like that of superiors and subordinates, yet also like friends.

Chapter teacher got up, opened the file cabinet behind her, took out a notebook and threw it to her: "This is my work record of following foreign visits before. You can read more and learn more. Our work seems trivial and simple, but there is knowledge everywhere."

Chen Ning returned the gift as if it were a treasure, holding it in her hand. This time, she was almost about to bow: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Chapter teacher waved his hand, letting her leave and not bother him, he wanted to take a nap.

She had just stepped out the door when she seemed to think of something and turned back to knock.

"Come in."

"Teacher Zhang."

"Is there anything"

"I could make a copy of this martial arts manual and give it to Xu Haichen," she said, gesturing with the notebook in her hand.

"Sure," Teacher Zhang smiled, feeling in her heart that the friendship between young people was truly precious.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang," Chen Ling replied, her voice brightening.

It wasn't until she got home in the evening and saw Song Jingye that she realized, if she went out with the visiting group, it meant at least half a month away, meaning she wouldn't see him for half a month.

He had just returned from a business trip, and she was about to leave.

A light and cheerful mood, now tinged with a hint of sadness.

"Seeing me, you seem displeased"

Chen Ning rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly: "I'm going to the country next week."

Song Jingye stiffened, clutching her hand: "Overseas assignment For a year Two years"

Chen Ning looked up at him, thinking he was joking. But seeing that he seemed serious, she smiled and said, "What are you thinking about It's just going out with the visiting group for half a month."

Song Jingye let out a breath of relief: “Who would have thought that someone would apply to go abroad in a fit of anger.”

"Well, I thought we couldn't be together. Then being anywhere alone is the same anyway."

It was as if everything was predetermined. She actively applied to go abroad at the time, and then she received Mr. Zhang's promotion. Her path at the unit was smooth and successful.

But this also means that she will be the first choice when there are future overseas work opportunities. This is something she has always been afraid to face. video to send to Lu Yaoyao. Of course, he felt that recording the video was to provide evidence for Lu Yaoyao, so in case of an argument later on, he would have more confidence."Lu Da Shao-ye, you sh...
