Chapter 650: Chapter 650: My Life Is Precious
Li Yufei: "After a night’s rest, my appetite is much better. I regularly inspect the employee cafeteria, and today was just convenient."
She paused and said, "Rong Ling, you don’t need to worry about your sister’s surgery. I’ve contacted the hospital, and everything is taken care of for you."
After speaking, her assistant took out a card case from the briefcase and handed him a business card with both hands.
Rong Ling took it, and Li Yufei explained, "This is the business card of the vice president of Chongming Hospital. Call him and tell him your name, he will understand."
He was a bit surprised.
He thought that since Li Yufei had an incident, she would definitely have forgotten about his matter.
Unexpectedly, she still had it on her mind.
Rong Ling took the card, his Adam’s apple moved slightly: "Thank you."
Li Yufei said, "No need to thank me, it’s just a small effort. I’ve also advanced the money for your sister’s surgery."
Rong Ling: "I have the surgery costs."
Li Yufei said, "Rong Ling, you saved me once, so I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, where I can assist you, just say so."
Rong Ling couldn’t help but smile: "Small matter."
Li Yufei elegantly smiled: "How can it be a small matter? You should know, my life is quite valuable."
An Nuan sat on the side, watching Li Yufei and Rong Ling sitting at the same table. Until Li Yufei finished eating, the two left together.
She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, "He seems to be very familiar with President Li."
A female colleague beside her also muttered, "President Li can’t be interested in him, right? Didn’t she just get divorced recently?"
She paused, then added, "It’s great to have money! You can beckon any kind of man you fancy. See how Rong Ling barely pays attention to you, maybe... he’s got President Li backing him! Nuannuan, you’re out of luck! Who would choose you over President Li?"
An Nuan’s face slightly changed: "Don’t talk nonsense! Rong Ling doesn’t seem like someone who would be a gigolo."
Female colleague: "If it were me, I’d agree too! President Li has a good family background, a strong career, looks like a superstar, and has a great figure; what man wouldn’t be tempted?"
An Nuan’s expression became even more unsightly.
...
In the afternoon.
Rong Ling routinely held a visitor registration sheet and went to the front desk to verify.
An Nuan was on duty.
Upon seeing Rong Ling, she immediately thought of the events at noon and said to him, "Rong Ling, are you getting ready to clock out?"
Rong Ling lifted his head, looked at her for a moment, and then recognized her: "It’s you?"
An Nuan couldn’t help but smile: "So you just recognized me!"
Rong Ling: "Mm. Is there something you need?"
An Nuan: "I just moved into the dormitory yesterday and heard we’re on the same floor."
Rong Ling: "So?"
An Nuan: "If you don’t mind, shall we go back together?"
Beside her, An Nuan’s female colleague chimed in with a provocative question, "Rong Ling, do you have a girlfriend?"
She asked so directly that An Nuan was stunned!
She kept winking at her, signaling her not to ask.
Such bluntness made things awkward!
Rong Ling glanced at her and replied, "No."
The female colleague laughed, "Isn’t that convenient? Our Nuannuan is single too! Rong Ling, do you want a girlfriend?"
An Nuan immediately interrupted her: "Hey! Don’t joke like that!"
She quickly explained to Rong Ling, "My colleague is just joking, don’t take it seriously."
Rong Ling frowned slightly, even as dense as he could be, he noticed that An Nuan had other feelings for him. However, in front of others, he said nothing: "I get off work at 5."
An Nuan said, "I need to go to the administrative department to hand over some procedures after getting off, can you wait for me a bit?"
Rong Ling: "I’ll only wait for five minutes."
An Nuan: "Okay, I’ll be quick!"
Unexpectedly, Rong Ling was actually willing to wait for her to get off work!
An Nuan was simply overjoyed.
At five, she got off work punctually.
After finishing the handover upstairs, she immediately changed into casual clothes and headed to the company entrance.
Rong Ling had also changed back into his daily attire, standing in front of the company’s Roman columns with his hands in his pockets.
An Nuan blushed and shyly walked over, hands behind her back: "Sorry for making you wait long!"
Seeing she had arrived, Rong Ling turned his head to glance at her, then walked a few steps away.
An Nuan promptly followed behind.
Rong Ling had a shoulder bag on his back, wearing a sporty vest paired with a shirt and loose pants, finished with white sneakers, even his back view was captivating.
All along the way, An Nuan chattered in his ear non-stop: "How old are you?"
Rong Ling: "23."
An Nuan: "Oh, you’re two years older than me! I’m 21, just graduated from college. Where is your family from?"
Rong Ling: "Local."
An Nuan: "Where is your home, why are you staying in the dormitory?"
Seeing her questions were getting trivial, Rong Ling didn’t answer further.
An Nuan also tactfully stopped, fearing to ask more and cause annoyance, remaining quiet for the rest of the way.
Until they reached the dormitory entrance, with no one else around, Rong Ling stopped and turned to her: "We’re here."
An Nuan looked at him in surprise.
He seemed to have something to tell her.
Rong Ling said, "You’re called... ’An Nuan’, right?"
An Nuan: "Mm..."
Did he just remember her name now?
Rong Ling said, "In the future, except for work-related matters, could you not talk to me?"
An Nuan was left standing there, as if struck by lightning.
Rong Ling’s choice of words was very polite.
Yet, this politeness gave off a cold feeling.
Rong Ling said, "I don’t want to date, and I have no feelings for you."
An Nuan said, "Did you take my colleague’s words seriously?"
Rong Ling: "You like me, don’t you?"
An Nuan didn’t know whether to admit it.
She hadn’t confessed yet.
But it was precisely because she hadn’t confessed that Rong Ling had nipped that budding emotion in the bud.
Rong Ling said, "If I misunderstood your intentions, then I apologize. If you like me, then I think you’re wasting your time on me."
An Nuan asked unwillingly, "Why?"
Rong Ling said, "I don’t like you."
An Nuan quietly murmured: "Do you think I’m not reserved enough? Or... are you really in that kind of relationship with President Li?"
Rong Ling’s gaze turned a bit displeased, "What relationship I have with her, do I need to tell you?"
An Nuan: "..."
Rong Ling said, "She’s her, you’re you. Right now, I’m talking about you and me. I just don’t want to waste our time."
After speaking, he turned around.
An Nuan said with some grievance, "Rong Ling, I didn’t expect you to be such a cold person! Even if you have no interest in me, you couldn’t... be this cold!"
She hadn’t dared to confess, and he directly and heartlessly killed the chance.
She had to swallow her grievances.
Rong Ling said, "I am just such a cold person. Sorry for wasting your feelings."
An Nuan stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time!
