She had read a phrase from a book once that went like this, A powerful woman keeps a man’s heart; A kind woman keeps a man’s pride; A smart woman keeps her own pride.
An Qi was a kind woman.
Even though she had lost all hope in a man like Song Jianren, perhaps his tears right now would have been sufficient to satisfy her as she was simply too kind.
A person’s happiness wasn’t determined by the amount of money they had nor their social status and power, but their desire.
A person who was easily satisfied would easily find happiness, whereas a person who was hard to satisfy would find it difficult to be happy.
Bai Rong’s phone rang and she answered with a smile as soon as she saw it was Liu Yan.
“Rong, where are you now? The training is finally over. Gu Mingchen truly is the devil. Me coming to work here in the army was a mistake! Not only have I not found a boyfriend, I’m becoming more and more like a man now!” Liu Yan complained.
Bai Rong laughed, “Let’s meet at Shuiyue International. I’ll head over now. Once I decide on a place for dinner, I’ll let you know.”
“Alright, see you later!”
As Bai Rong put her phone away, she realized that the chief of police had been standing next to her.
“Thank you, Ms. Bai. We wouldn’t have solved this case this quickly without your help. We even thought that it would end up being unsolved instead.” The chief of police laughed as he thanked her.
“It was nothing, really. I’m also working at the research institute anyway, so you don’t have to thank me, chief.”
“Ms. Bai, your name is well-known internationally. I’m going to host a celebration party tonight. Would you be free to attend it?” The chief of police extended an invitation.
“I’ve just returned from overseas today and have a friend to meet, so I won’t be attending the party. Thank you for your kind invitation, chief.” Bai Rong nodded.
“In that case, I’ll have someone send you over.”
Sometimes, rejecting someone’s offer too much would only cause more trouble for oneself. Not only would accepting offers appropriately protect their pride, it also helped to build a friendly relationship between the parties involved.
“Alright.”
Bai Rong was the first to arrive at Shuiyue International and walked into a café with a nice ambience.
On the stage, a beautiful and graceful girl in a white dress was playing a beautiful tune on the piano.
She texted Liu Yan the location and sat inside a private room.
There was a curtain at the door of the room which she could look outside from.
Soon after, Liu Yan had rushed over and looked happily at Bai Rong, “Rong, you look amazing! You’re so much more beautiful than before right now! Even I’m falling in love with you!”
Bai Rong smiled, “My beauty is nothing compared to your heroic and valiant look. That’s a woman’s true colors.”
“Hahahaha, a woman’s true colors, eh? I like the sound of that!” Liu Yan hugged Bai Rong.
Bai Rong felt her eyes tear up as she felt the warmth that she had longed for.
“Rong, I’ve missed you so much!” Liu Yan said with a slight sniffle.
“Yan, I’ve missed you too!” Bai Rong said softly.
“You have no idea how much of a jerk that Gu Mingchen is! He never looks at me in the eye whenever we see each other. He is all lovey-dovey with Su Wanning, however. They keep showing their affection for each other publicly every day! I really want to slap him! Honestly, he’s even more of a scumbag than Su Xuyan! Su Xuyan hasn’t had a single scandal throughout these three years and even asks me often about how you are doing.” Liu Yan said.
Meanwhile, Bai Rong maintained a neutral expression and no one could tell what she was thinking.
The waiter served up some wine, steak Foie Gras, vegetable salad and some snacks.
