We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 255 Different Attitudes

Hearing Christy Zhong's remarks, Zhangdong Feng suddenly became quite contented. She was right. As long as they loved and always thought about each other, he would be happy and have no regrets about everything he had done for her.

"It's my fault. I didn't find you early. If I had always been around you, I wouldn't have let you suffer so much," said Zhangdong sincerely.

Though he had no idea what Christy had gone through, he felt a tender pity for her. Besides, he really wanted to show his concern for her.

His words made Christy speechless. But now she was more ice-cool than before, for she had been working for James Feng. Additionally, she managed to control her feelings. So soon she calmed down and said to him, "Maybe you want to eat something now. After all, you just finish your strenuous trip and arrive here."

Zhangdong arrived here yesterday. But before he went home, he came to visit her, which really touched Christy.

Zhangdong looked disapprovingly at her. He didn't feel tired being with her. As long as she was fine and happy, he would feel satisfied.

"It doesn't matter. But it's true that we should eat and sleep on time. After all, physical health is the foundation of any achievement. We both should attach great importance to health," observed Zhangdong gently and seriously.

His words and soft expression made Christy greatly moved. She couldn't help saying, "Brother-in-law. I believe you can bring your wife happiness no matter in the past or future."

As she spoke, she didn't realize that her remarks were also reminding Zhangdong that he had a wife. What's more, she was also James' girlfriend. He couldn't violate morality. Zhangdong was amazed. He looked at her with bewilderment. Did she say that deliberately to him? Of course, he was pretty clear about his own conditions. He had been married.

But only his wife and he knew what their marriage was like. If they really loved and respected each other, they wouldn't separate. There's no love in the marriage. If they fell in love with another man, they could directly pursue him or her without thinking too much.

"It's the happiest thing for me to find you and have the chance to protect you." Zhangdong gave an irrelevant answer.

In the meantime, his phone rang suddenly. He took it and had a look. "Yuchan Gui calls me." He gestured for Christy to keep silent. Then he answered it drily, "What's up?"

Upon the utterance of this word, Christy stopped eating. She was confused. The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now he finally came back. Why did he sound so cold when his wife called him?

In fact, men were usually very aloof. However, if they met the one they liked, they would become enthusiastic and obliging. In addition, they would look and sound very gentle.

Christy remembered that he was so tender and warm just now. But now he sounded like a totally different person.

Observing his different attitudes, Christy even didn't feel like eating any more. In her opinion, she was like a thief who stole a person's cake.

But it's completely unnecessary for her to think of it this way. After all, their marriage had been in trouble. Even if Zhangdong didn't know her, the couple wouldn't live happily. Probably someday they were fed up with each other and got divorced.

Yuchan's voice was soft and calm. "Zhangdong. Are you transferring now? I'll pick you up at the airport." Though she sounded flat, she had an air of expectancy. For women, even if they didn't love a man at first, they would gradually rely on him and have feelings for him.

But men were different. They might be deeply in love with a woman at first. However, as time went by, their love for her would fade and disappear.

"You don't need to go there. I'll go back by myself," replied Zhangdong indifferently. He was like talking with a stranger.

But Yuchan ignored his aloofness. She wanted to show her concern for him. “Mom has prepared a dinner to welcome you home. I volunteer to pick you up. And only I will go to the airport.”

It's true. Last time people of the Feng family sent a driver to pick Zijin Feng. However, something unexpected happened to her. Considering it, they didn't plan to let someone else do that for fear that such things might happen again. Zhangdong ever heard it from Yuchan.

He thought for a while and then said drily, "You can tell them there's no need to send someone for me. Just wait for me at home."

Hearing that, Christy was confused. It's very strange. She remembered that last time Zijin came back, James was invited to dinner. But why didn't she hear of something from him this time? Zhangdong was supposed to be more important than Zijin in the family.

"How can that work? Your parents and grandparents are all waiting for you. They really want to see you at home. Besides, your brothers and sisters will meet you after they knock off work this afternoon. So you can have a rest. I heard that long-time flying can make people very tired."

Sitting next to Zhangdong, Christy almost heard everything Yuchan said. No wonder! The family was much nicer to Zhangdong. But it's too cruel and unfair for Zijin.

"After I go back, I'll thank them. And you don't need to spend so much time and energy picking me up. Just wait for me at home. After I handle all things well, I'll go home," said Zhangdong flatly.

He sounded very cold and distant on the phone. Yuchan must be very sad now. Almost all women in the world were sensitive and emotional. Though she acted calmly, she must be an acute observer.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

At this moment, Christy really took pity on her. But what could she do for her? The reason why Zhangdong didn't go home now might have something to do with her. But she couldn't change his mind. Zhangdong hung up his phone soon after he finished the word. It seemed that he hated talking to her and he planned to spend all his time with the one he wanted to protect.

All people who had ever been in love knew that talking with people they disliked meant enduring suffering.
