Chapter 191 â He couldnât deny that he was his most relaxed and happy self when he was with Little Wang (1)
Finding out that Li Jing didnât come to work, didnât answer calls, and didnât ask for the day off, even Song Tingshen couldnât resist advising Li Yuanhang, âYou should go back to check if sheâs sick. Call your parents too.â
Li Yuanhang shook his head. âThey traveled abroad shortly after National Day Golden Week. Theyâre still in Japan.â
He was also worried, so he stood up and said, âIâll go back and see whatâs going on.â
Song Tingshen nodded. âOkay then. Did you drive here? If not, I can have the driver take you there.â
âI drove here. You can go back to your work.â Before leaving, Li Yuanhang paused, gritted his teeth, and said, âOld Song, honestly, I feel embarrassed about my sisterâs matter and talking to you about it. Same as before, you donât have to worry about anything. Sheâs just temporarily muddled-headed. Iâll definitely keep her from coming back here before she makes any big mistakes. Youâre usually busy with work and when youâre not busy, you have to spend time with your wife and kids. Once she resigns, Iâll do my best to keep her from appearing in front of you.â
Song Tingshen didnât know what to say to Li Yuanhang in response. From beginning to end, he had never given Li Jing preferential treatment. He wouldnât show favoritism to Li Yuanhangâs relatives because of their friendship. Moreover, there were differences between men and women. Even if Li Jing was his friendâs sister, he kept his distance from her. It was exactly because of this that Li Jing had never been a trouble for him. He had only mentioned this matter to Li Yuanhang because he didnât want a misunderstanding to come between them in future because of Li Jing.
However, Li Yuanhangâs response was comforting because he had chosen to take action. Song Tingshen knew that Li Yuanhang was doing this for Li Jingâs sake as well as not wanting to ruin their friendship.
Thinking of this, Song Tingshen responded with, âEn.â He stood up, escorted Li Yuanhang to the elevator, and finally said, âYuanhang, you donât have to feel embarrassed. Itâs okay once the issue is resolved. Weâve known each for so long. This issue isnât worth us becoming estranged, right?â
âOf course.â The elevator doors opened. âOkay, just send me off up to here. Iâll hurry over there to see whatâs going and get back to work too.â
After watching Li Yuanhang enter the elevator and the elevator doors closed, Song Tingshen sighed.
He hoped that Li Jing could figure things out.
After all, Li Yuanhang was between them. He couldnât really do anything. Before doing anything, he had to take into consideration Li Yuanhangâs position and feeling.

Song Tingshen wanted to leave work early to pick Ruan Xia up from her work, so he had an assistant bring him lunch at noon. He quickly ate lunch and used his remaining lunch time to finish work ahead of schedule. This way he could leave work before 4PM, pick up Little Wang from kindergarten, and they could go together to pick up Ruan Xia. The timing would work out perfectly.
Little Wangâs kindergarten wasnât far from their home. Song Tingshen didnât have the driver follow him today. While he was driving, he noticed a flower shop on the side of the street. He made a turn and parked at the florist.
The shop assistant warmly welcomed Song Tingshen. âSir, what kind of flowers would you like to buy? Or you can tell me who youâre giving the flowers to and I can offer you options as reference.â
Translator Ramblings: I feel that Li Yuanhang is being too heavy-handed in trying to control Li Jingâs choices. Heâs acting like a parent that apologizes for the mistakes of his child, but Li Jing is an adult and has to take responsibility for her actions. Trying to help in this way will only hurt her in the long-term. What do you guys think?
