CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 688: DOUBTS

Actually, Pingying deliberately looked that way because she felt dissatisfied with how Liu Fengsheng spoke about Luo Zhiyong. Her action made it quite clear to whom she was close and to whom she was distant between Luo Zhiyong and Liu Fengsheng.

Moreover, she had another purpose, which was to let Liu Fengsheng give up for good. In fact, she had no feelings for Liu Fengsheng, and even if she did not remarry Luo Zhiyong, the chances of her being with Liu Fengsheng were slim to none.

A long time ago, not knowing the family situation of Liu Fengsheng, perhaps something could have happened, but now it was absolutely impossible.

Naturally, Pingying’s action did indeed cause a sharp pain in Liu Fengsheng’s heart.

He wasn’t a fool; he knew what Pingying was declaring to him.

Actually, under normal circumstances, he perhaps should have given up, but this time, he just didn’t want to.

The real reason he didn’t want to give up, he attributed to caring too much for and liking Pingying. However, in reality, it might be because of his unwillingness to concede and the pride deep in his bones: he had never in his life failed to get what he wanted, especially not after putting in so much effort.

After Luo Zhiyong entered the house, Pingying sat down in front of the couch and asked casually, "Fengsheng, how’s work recently? Is everything okay at the supermarket with Uncle Zeng and juzi?"

Despite the casual tone, Liu Fengsheng could tell that Pingying was intentionally creating distance between them.

Even so, Liu Fengsheng decided not to hide his intentions anymore. He planned to openly compete with Luo Zhiyong, to show Pingying his worth and his determination.

He looked at Pingying intently and said, "Everything is going well. It’s been a while, and there are no problems with work. But, Pingying, I have something personal to tell you..."

Initially, Pingying’s goal was to tell him that when they met in private, they should only talk about business matters. After the last rejection, Pingying had already been deliberately creating distance, not discussing anything personal with him other than work, to show her determination to refuse him.

But since Liu Fengsheng brought up old matters again, she rejected him bluntly, "Fengsheng, as I’ve told you before, I hope that beyond work, we can be good friends, but that’s all it is."

Seeing that Liu Fengsheng wanted to say something again, Pingying continued, "Zhiyong was right earlier. No matter what, he and I are probably entangled with each other for life, so I don’t want you to waste your time on me."

"Pingying, I..." In fact, Pingying’s resolute attitude left Liu Fengsheng at a loss for words. He paused and then could only say, "Never mind, whatever I say now is just words. I’ll prove through my actions that your choice is wrong."

"You..."

Before Pingying could speak, Liu Fengsheng had already stood up from the couch and said firmly, "Never mind, I need to go now. I still need to check on the supermarket. But Pingying, I won’t give up on you. As long as you haven’t remarried Luo Zhiyong and taken the marriage certificate again, I won’t give up."

After saying this, Liu Fengsheng left.

Watching Liu Fengsheng’s retreating figure, Pingying felt a bit helpless. In fact, she had never faced a man’s pursuit before and had no idea how to deal with such matters, especially since Liu Fengsheng seemed to have an unyielding attitude.

However, recalling Liu Fengsheng’s words reminded her.

It was about remarrying, taking the marriage certificate again?

Ever since Luo Zhiyong injured himself and stayed home, though he always clung to her shamelessly and tried to act as if their divorce had never happened, making it seem like nothing had changed and they were still as affectionate as before.

Simply put, Luo Zhiyong was determined to reconcile, but he had never brought up remarrying. Even when Luo Honglan mentioned it earlier, he didn’t seize the opportunity to bring up them remarrying, just mentioning it casually before dropping the topic.

Could it be that this man had other intentions?

Did he want to have the best of both worlds?

Hanging her along but not remarriage, so there was a chance to back out later?

Thinking of this, Pingying looked around the room with some suspicion.

Just then, Luo Zhiyong came out from inside the room. Seeing that Liu Fengsheng was gone, he raised an eyebrow and casually asked Pingying, "Did you make things clear to him? He won’t bother us anymore?"

While Liu Fengsheng and Pingying were talking outside, he was almost holding his breath listening inside the room. Call him lacking in dignity, but he definitely wanted to know Pingying’s attitude.

Hearing Pingying’s firm rejection of Liu Fengsheng, saying she would be entangled with him for life, he was overjoyed. He almost wanted to carry Pingying and run around the streets. The question he just asked was actually just a casual remark.

But after he asked, Pingying gave him a cold look, then seemed somewhat angry and somewhat indifferent as she said, "Why make it clear? We’re both unmarried, so even if he comes home, it wouldn’t be harassment."

Luo Zhiyong was startled and asked stammeringly, "What... what’s wrong? Why are you getting angry all of a sudden?"

Pingying ignored him, just glancing at him before huffing and sitting on the couch, still wondering why that man never brought up remarriage.

Seeing Pingying like this, Luo Zhiyong felt a bit uncertain, but adhering to the principle of not offending his wife, he gently smiled, changed his demeanor, and shamelessly sat down beside Pingying. Seeing that Luo Honglan and the two little ones were not around, he leaned in close to Pingying’s ear and said, "Is it because we didn’t finish our business earlier that you’re upset?"

Hearing this, Pingying was truly angry. She stood up, kicked Luo Zhiyong, and growled, "Luo Zhiyong, keep dreaming! From now on, you’ll stay in your room. Without my permission, don’t enter my room. Otherwise, you’ll immediately go back to stay in the military base. I won’t take you in anymore. After all, we have no relationship. Letting you stay is a favor; not letting you stay is reason."

"You..." Luo Zhiyong saw that Pingying was truly angry. He began to ask what exactly was wrong since she was fine just before, but just then, Yaoyao ran out, still concerned about the previous question, "Daddy, Daddy, you haven’t answered me yet. Where did I come from?"
