Chuxia Lin knew it would turn out this way, but hadn’t expected Wang Cheng to be so agreeable.
She smiled, "Alright, then. Will there be any problem for you to come to the agricultural supply store at the entrance of Qin Family Village tomorrow? I will wait for you there."
Wang Cheng stood up excitedly, "No problem, no problem at all. I’ll pack up right now, prepare a bit, and then go to Qin Family Village for work tomorrow."
Chuxia Lin pointed to his pile of dismantled bicycles, "Brother Wang, what will you do with these after you pack up?"
Wang Cheng also realized this and awkwardly chuckled, "I’m just too happy. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of these things today, and I’ll be there on time tomorrow morning."
"Alright then, Brother Wang, you go ahead with your work, we’ll meet tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to Wang Cheng, Chuxia Lin returned to the Jeep and asked Qin Yang with a smile, "Were you impatient waiting?"
Qin Yang had already dissipated the smell of smoke and opened the passenger door for her first, "I’m not in a hurry. What’s the situation with that man?" He looked like an old acquaintance of his wife.
Every time he returned to An City, Qin Yang felt a faint sadness.
In the past, he prioritized his work and didn’t think marrying a wife would affect anything. Even when he was at his job and his wife was back in her hometown, he didn’t feel anything wrong with them living separately.
Before they got married, when he saw his colleagues, he thought it would be comfortable to live separately from each other.
Now, however, he felt his initial thoughts were utterly despicable and even regretted them.
He was comfortable, but it seemed his wife was even more so.
Moreover, his wife had gone through so much without him being a part of it. Now, following her around, he felt like an idiot.
Chuxia Lin shared with Qin Yang the identity of Wang Cheng along with her thoughts.
"I was worried about how to sell the produce from the greenhouses in the future. Once all the greenhouses started producing, it would be a great loss if we encountered sales blockages. But now with Wang Cheng coming, this issue should be mostly resolved."
She wasn’t offering a salary of 80 yuan for nothing. Li Jian had once told her that Wang Cheng had worked at the vegetable station for over a decade, and during its heyday, he had accumulated quite a few resources.
In Chuxia Lin’s mind, her little abacus was clattering away, and when she turned her head, she saw Qin Yang clutching the steering wheel with both hands, his handsome face tense, and his lips tightly pursed.
She immediately sensed that the man was being stubborn about something again.
Her hand touched his arm and before she could speak, Qin Yang spoke first.
"Xiaxia, I’ve been thinking, a few of my classmates might be able to help you. It’s just that I have been working outside for so many years and have not kept in touch with them. Don’t worry, when we return, I’ll find a way to contact them..."
Chuxia Lin’s fingertip moved slightly and pinched his arm, interrupting him.
Qin Yang looked at her puzzled and then turned his head back to the road ahead.
Then he heard the delicate voice of the young woman beside him, "Qin Yang, you don’t need to do this."
"Hmm?" He didn’t quite understand.
Chuxia Lin smiled faintly, "What I mean is you don’t need to compare yourself with them. You don’t have to feel guilty for not being able to help me with these things. You are different from them. There are plenty of such people around me; I can have as many as I want if I have the money. But the only one who can give me emotional value is you alone."
Qin Yang slowly stopped the car in front of the Department Store and slowly turned to face her, even starting to speak with some disapproval, "Do you really think that love, something so elusive, is more important than anything else?"
He understood Chuxia Lin to be outstanding, strong, and tenacious. All the best adjectives suited her, and he didn’t think she was a person who put love above everything else.
