My Dongguan Love Story

After a moment's pause, Li Qing asked Tang Yan incredulously, "Ah! You're getting married?"

"Yes, Dazhuang said he needs to discuss it with his parents before setting a time!"

Da Zhuang is going to marry Tang Yan, so what will President Lin do?

Li Qing repeatedly asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes! We've decided on each other!" Tang Yan said decisively.

Hearing Tang Yan's firm stance, Li Qing didn't want to say anything that would spoil the mood, so she replied with a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

I watched Tang Yan happily hang up the phone, and I knew my cousin-in-law definitely hadn't told her about me and Lin Huimin. My tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and my anxious heart finally eased.

Before I could completely calm down, my phone, which had been lying dormant in my pocket, suddenly started vibrating rapidly. One beep after another, muffled and urgent, it instantly tightened my nerves that had just relaxed. Without thinking, I pressed the hang-up button.

As soon as my cousin-in-law hung up the phone with Tang Yan, she couldn't wait to ask Da Zhuang for clarification.

However, when she called Dazhuang, the phone rang for a while before being hung up. She knew Dazhuang was deliberately avoiding her calls, and she was so angry she wanted to smash her phone on the bed.

The phone, which had been lying on the bed, suddenly rang. Thinking it was Dazhuang calling back, she quickly picked it up to check. Seeing it was Lin Huimin calling, she took a deep breath to calm herself and pressed the answer button. Then she heard Lin Huimin's capable voice:

"Qing'er, are you in the dorm? Come down and walk with me?"

Li Qing is currently staying temporarily in the company dormitory of Guangyuan Building Materials. This dormitory is also located in Donghu Garden.

Lin Huimin bought two apartments in Donghu Garden. She lives in the smaller two-bedroom apartment herself. The larger five-bedroom apartment is for her employees. Each room has two 1.2-meter beds and can accommodate ten people.

There happened to be one bed left in the dormitory, so Li Qing thought about moving in to stay away from Da Zhuang and Tang Yan, so she wouldn't have to listen to the shaking of the bed every day and make herself feel hot and unable to sleep.

Li Qing, holding the phone, heard Lin Huimin say she was downstairs. She walked to the window and looked down, seeing Lin Huimin in a black dress standing below, looking up at her. A gentle breeze ruffled the hem of her dress, causing it to sway slightly.

The dormitory was on the third floor, not far from the ground. When Li Qing looked out the window, Lin Huimin saw her and quickly waved to her.

Li Qing greeted her, turned and went downstairs, where she saw Lin Huimin waiting for her at the top of the stairs. Although she didn't know why Lin Huimin had come to see her, she was certain it was related to Dazhuang. She greeted Lin Huimin, "President Lin."

Lin Huimin stood sideways at the top of the stairs, looking at a couple sitting on a bench not far to her left, embracing each other. Seeing the happy and sweet smiles on their faces, she couldn't help but feel a little touched. Thinking of herself and Dazhuang, a smile also appeared on her face.

She and Dazhuang had been having sex for several days and she'd been wanting to talk to Li Qing about it. Li Qing seemed to disapprove of their relationship. If she could convince Li Qing, it would make her relationship with Dazhuang more stable. So she decided to talk to Li Qing!

Hearing Li Qing's voice, she turned to look at her and smiled, "Qing'er."

The two walked on the jogging track in the residential area, chatting for a while. Then, Lin Huimin glanced at Li Qing somewhat nervously and got straight to the point:

"Qing'er, you won't object to me being with Dazhuang, will you?"

Li Qing's face stiffened upon hearing Lin Huimin's words.

To be honest, when she heard that Dazhuang and Lin Huimin were together, she felt like something was missing from her heart, a vague feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

But if Dazhuang were truly devoted to Lin Huimin, she wouldn't object. However, Dazhuang is now two-timing her. What should she do? She doesn't want President Lin to get hurt, nor does she want Tang Yan to be sad.

She thought for a moment, deciding whether to ascertain Mr. Lin's feelings for Dazhuang before making a decision. After pondering for a while, she said, "Mr. Lin, I don't object to you and Dazhuang being together, but are you aware of Dazhuang's specific situation?"

Lin Huimin was happy to hear that Li Qing didn't object to her being with Dazhuang, and thought that Li Qing was asking about Dazhuang's family.

Li Qing had previously mentioned that Da Zhuang's family was from a poor rural area, but she didn't care. She believed that love was a matter between two people. So, with happiness and determination in her eyes, she looked at Li Qing and said, "I love Da Zhuang, and I don't care about his family's situation. Besides, I have money and can change his family's circumstances!"

Li Qing looked into Lin Huimin's bright, unwavering eyes and felt a sudden jolt in her heart, as if she had been struck hard by something.

She truly hadn't expected Lin Huimin's obsession with Dazhuang to run so deep. It wasn't a pastime for loneliness, a fleeting infatuation, a compromise, or a choice made after weighing the pros and cons. She was certain Dazhuang was the one; she only wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.

Lin Huimin's devout love made Li Qing's nose tingle and her heart ache terribly; she didn't know what to do.

But now that Dazhuang has met Tang Yan's parents, and the two are at the point of discussing marriage, continuing to entangle himself with President Lin will only make him sink deeper and deeper into a hopeless situation.

No! Before things get too serious, she felt she should tell Lin Huimin about Dazhuang and Tang Yan.

Li Qing sighed and looked at Lin Huimin with a serious expression: "President Lin, Dazhuang has a girlfriend."

Hearing Li Qing's words, Lin Huimin's face showed displeasure. She didn't mince words and spoke directly: "Li Qing, you kept making excuses to me before, saying Dazhuang had a girlfriend, just to keep me from being with Dazhuang. But I'm with Dazhuang now, and you're still lying? What's the point? You really don't want me to be with Dazhuang?"

Li Qing felt somewhat helpless seeing that Lin Huimin was still misunderstanding her.

He looked at Lin Huimin with a serious expression: "It's true, Dazhuang has a girlfriend. The two of them are staying together at the house I rented before tonight. You can go and see for yourself if you don't believe me."

Hearing Li Qing's words, Lin Huimin's heart clenched, heavy and suffocating, making it hard to breathe. She felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, instantly draining all warmth from her body. She stood there, stunned, her mind blank. She couldn't hear the surrounding noise; only one thought remained in her mind—Dazhuang already has a girlfriend?
