Seven days later.
Saturday morning.
Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling's engagement banquet is in a few days, and Dong Xuebing had informed Zhang Dongfang and the County's leaders that he will be leaving in three days to rest. But this morning's phone call made Dong Xuebing change his mind.
It's Zhang Longjuan.
Dong Xuebing does not know what time it is in Fuzhou as there is a time difference. From Zhang Longjuan's voice, she sounded like she is about to sleep.
"Young man." Zhang Longjuan greeted.
"Sister Zhang." Dong Xuebing had just woken up.
"I need to tell you something." Zhang Longjuan said. "I am pregnant. Haha."
Dong Xuebing asked. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier? "
Zhang Longjuan replied. "It's been two months. I don't know about it during the first month, and I was so busy during the second month that I forgot about my period. I only went to the hospital for a check-up when I was almost three months pregnant. Hahaha … the doctor was speechless and said I am too careless to not know I am pregnant for so long." Zhang Longjuan paused for a while. "Alright. If there's nothing else, I will be going to bed. You don't need to worry about me."
Dong Xuebing replied. "I will go over and look for you some other day."
"Let's talk about it when you are free." Zhang Longjuan replied.
Dong Xuebing insisted. "I will be free. I am pregnant, and how can I not be free?"
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "You still have a conscience. Not bad."
"You must be careful in the future. Don't be too busy with the company, or you will not be able to finish earning money. You must take care of your health. Do you hear me?" Dong Xuebing said.
"I know. I'll hang up now." Zhang Longjuan hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing has mixed feelings. Of course, he is happy and responsible. When Zhang Longjuan told him she wants to have a child, Dong Xuebing does not need to worry about anything else. But when Sister Zhang told him she is pregnant, and the child is his, Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. He can't wait to fly over to visit Sister Zhang. But he does not have a passport, and he cannot leave just like that.
Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and thought for a while.
Xie Huilan, Qu Yunxuan, Geng Yuehua, Yu Meixia, Zhang Longjuan, Xu Yan, Jiang Fangfang, Fang Wenping, and even his one-night stand with Luo Haiting. Dong Xuebing had offended too many people, and he felt satisfied and apologetic at the same time. Dong Xuebing had arranged his work well, and he had worked hard to get to his current position. Many people are envious of him and admire him. But when it comes to relationships, Dong Xuebing had never handled it well. He had always dragged his feet and was indecisive. In the end, it was a mess and could not be sorted out.
Separate?
They would definitely not be able to separate.
Dong Xuebing also does not want to end their relationship. Furthermore, there is no way to do so.
Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and made up his mind to apologize to everyone. This is what he wants to do now.
He left as soon as he said he would.
Dong Xuebing picked up his phone and called Su Yan. "Xiao Su, help me book a ticket to Qingxi Province as soon as possible. I will reach the airport in an hour."
Su Yan did not ask any questions. "Yes, Secretary."
After that, Dong Xuebing called Zhang Dongfang. "Old Zhang, I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go back today. Help me keep an eye on this place and contact me if anything happens."
Zhang Dongfang was stunned. "Ok."
Dong Xuebing called his driver, Xiao Wang, and rushed to the airport without taking his luggage.
… …
Morning.
Around 10 am.
The two provinces are not far from each other, and the plane will arrive in about an hour. Dong Xuebing took a taxi after alighting and called Xu Yan in the car.
"Hello, Sister Xu. Are you busy?"
"Nope. I am resting on Saturday."
"Then I will go and look for you. Is it still that family quarters?"
"Huh? Look for me? Where are you? "
"I am in the provincial capital. I just got off the plane."
"You are here for work? Why are you in such a hurry? Why didn't you tell me earlier? "
"Let's talk when we reach. I will go over now."
About 20 minutes later, Dong Xuebing arrived at the State Security quarters. He found Xu Yan's apartment and rang the doorbell.
Ding Dong.
Xu Yan, in a woman's suit, opened the door. "You are here?"
Dong Xuebing nodded and entered the apartment. "Is there anyone else at home?"
"No. My son is still studying in Beijing, and he is staying at his uncle's place." Xu Yan asked Dong Xuebing to sit down.
Half a year ago, the court had given custody of Xu Yan's son to her, and it has nothing to do with her ex-husband. Dong Xuebing is the one who got involved in this. Dong Xuebing had gone to Beijing's State Security to beat up a leader because of Xu Yan. Xu Yan's ex-husband had beaten up Xu Yan when he was drunk, and with Dong Xuebing's temper, he will not let him off.
Xu Yan poured a glass of water for Dong Xuebing. "How long are you staying here?"
"About half a day, and I should be leaving at night." Dong Xuebing replied.
Xu Yan was stunned. "You just arrived, and you are leaving? What are you here for? "
Dong Xuebing looked at her. "I am not here for anything. I am just here to visit you. Sister Xu, don't be so busy. Sit down and let's have a chat."
"You are here to visit me?" Xu Yan sat down.
Dong Xuebing nodded and wanted to say something.
"Tell me." Xu Yan patted the back of Dong Xuebing's hand. "What is it?"
Dong Xuebing was embarrassed and hesitated for a while before replying. "Nothing much. Something happened today, and I am thinking about it. That's why I asked my secretary to book a plane ticket for me and came over immediately. I want to … I want to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Xu Yan laughed. "Why?"
Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose. "Anyway, I am sorry. You know me better than anyone, and you should know that I … had troubled you in the past."
Xu Yan laughed. "That's it?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I will feel uncomfortable if I don't apologize."
"I was wondering why you came all the way here. So, it's this." Xu Yan squeezed his hand helplessly. "There's no need to apologize. Relationships between men and women are sometimes more complicated than anything else. It can't be explained clearly. Besides, it's a consensual matter. Do you need to apologize? The one who should be apologizing is your Sister Xu. I am already your age, and my child is not much younger than you. I still feel bad for robbing the cradle. "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "No … I …"
Xu Yan interrupted. "Alright. What I mean is that one party is willing, and the other party is willing. You are asking for it. Haha … let's drink some tea and change the topic."
Dong Xuebing nodded and did not continue.
