Chapter 222 - 217: Don’t Bring Suffering Upon Yourself and Others
Bai Jing, after hearing Fang Pingying’s words, was first somewhat surprised, but then she remembered that her aunt was a gynecologist who happened to be treating Fang Pingying. It wasn’t strange that she was mentioned, so she gave Fang Pingying a faint nod. "That’s good."
Then she took on an air as if she was unwilling to engage further with Fang Pingying and said to Luo Zhiyong, "Oh right, Zhiyong, you haven’t been to work these past few days, staying here the whole time?"
Because of Bai Jing’s earlier jibe at Fang Pingying, Luo Zhiyong had already started to form an opinion of her, but because of the camaraderie with Zhou Guangsheng, he did not wish to strain the relationship further. However, he was noticeably less warm towards Bai Jing.
He didn’t look at Bai Jing, only tucked the blanket around Fang Pingying a bit more while seeming reluctant to talk more, "Going back and forth."
"New Year’s is coming, and the military has a lot of things going on. You’d better not neglect your work," Bai Jing’s words sounded like a wife advising her husband, "I heard Zhou Guangsheng saying that there will be evaluations in the military towards the end of the year. If you miss it once, you’ll have to wait until the next one, shame."
"There’s nothing to regret. In the military, whatever position I’m in, I just do my job," Luo Zhiyong glanced at her and said flatly, "Besides, my wife here is pregnant. How could I not look after her?"
"You really are a good man." Bai Jing praised with a smile, her eyes filled with adoration for Luo Zhiyong, as if he was treating her well.
Fang Pingying frowned while watching her, having never come across such a peculiar woman before.
She was already married, yet here she was, brazenly behaving this way in front of another woman’s husband and acting as if it was perfectly natural.
For some reason, Fang Pingying felt that Bai Jing’s thinking was somewhat different from ordinary people. If she were really one of those shameless women, she didn’t quite seem like it. In front of others, Bai Jing always came across as someone with high standards who looked down on ordinary people – not someone who would forgo her own dignity for a man.
