Chapter 207 - Now that his feelings for her had already past platonic, what should he do next? (2)
Li Jing was sitting in her room and flipping through a family photo album. Almost every year, their family had gone to take a family portrait.
Right now, her older brother wanted to work from home if he could. Although her sister-in-law hadn’t said anything, she could sense that her sister-in-law disliked her for causing them trouble.
She had wanted to go back to work today. After all, there was nothing - no, that wasn’t it. She didn’t want to go to the office to work; she wanted to go there to resign.
Seeing her older brother’s tired appearance and her sister-in-law making an effort to endure the disgust she felt, she suddenly felt that she was being extremely ridiculous. Her older brother clearly only had her best interest in mind, and yet she had thought of such a horrible idea in order to force her older brother to compromise.
Of course she didn’t want to actually die, but when she was swallowing the medicine, she was full of grievances. She felt that no one in the world understood her. Did they think she wanted to chase after a position of being other woman? That she wanted to like a married man? If only people could control their hearts, that would be great.
When she called her manager, her manager expressed that she should stay at home and rest while hinting that the company had already dismissed her. Of course, the company won’t be stingy with the required severance pay. At that moment, she suddenly felt so regretful and so tired too. Even she didn’t know why she had been so insistent on staying in Song Corporation.
From beginning to end, she knew better than anyone that Song Tingshen wasn’t interested in her and that he had even seen through her a long time ago. He had never shown signs of reciprocating her interest. He hadn’t even said many words to her as if she wasn’t any different from the other employees at the company.
Wait, no, there was a difference. For a person like him to tell her older brother about her intentions, it meant that he was already irritated by her and didn’t want to see her. He wanted her older brother to deal with this and for her to be a bit more sensible by taking the initiative to keep her distance from him.
She was still scared of death, scared that she would never see her parents again. The idea that she would never be able to breathe fresh air again was terrifying. As it turned out, what she thought was a great love and the determination she had to sacrifice everything for the other party, in the face of her parents and her life, it was nothing.
Let’s leave it at that.
She was scared now, that type of one-sided love, it wasn’t something that she could bear.
Li Yuanhang knocked on the door. She turned to look and smiled at her older brother. Her face was still somewhat pale. “Older brother, that company you mentioned last time, does it still have a position suitable for me? I want to find a new job.”

Little Wang woke up because he wanted to pee. He drank milk and juice last night. He was in kindergarten now and naturally couldn’t wear pull-ups. He could also very proudly say that it had been a long time since he wet the bed.
Ruan Xia had already trained Little Wang to not wake anyone up when he got up in the morning, so he softly and lightly got out of bed. It was still early in the morning, and Ruan Xia naturally wasn’t awake yet. Even Song Tingshen, who was usually a light sleeper, was still asleep because hadn’t been able to fall asleep until the wee hours of morning. Neither of them noticed that the chubby kid had climbed out of bed by himself and ran to the bathroom, barefoot.
When Little Wang came out of the bathroom, he saw that his parents were still soundly asleep and that his mom had taken the middle position on the bed that belonged to him.
He just wanted to sleep between his parents, but he couldn’t wake up his mom right now. His mom was very grumpy when someone woke her up from her beauty sleep, and there would be dire consequences for doing so.
In the end, Little Wang didn’t climb back into bed. Instead, he hugged a throw pillow and continued his sleep on the big sofa in the bedroom.
