Chapter 68
Ling Zhengzhong knew the answer even without Xiang Tian saying it. The die was cast; how could he not release it? But…
“You bastard, you just said that if we did it here, someone would see us.”
“You said no one would come. Besides, so be it. We don’t know anyone anyway.”
Ling Zhengzhong was about to make another desperate struggle, but Xiang Tian’s next gentle movements immediately silenced him.
This bastard’s technique was amazing. Oh well, it had been a while since they’d done it. Actually, he kind of wanted Xiang Tian too…
So, that night, Xiang Tian completely devoured Ling Zhengzhong, leaving not even a bone fragment, before using him as a pillow, cuddling him until dawn.
This incident gave Ling Zhengzhong a deeper understanding of Xiang Tian’s despicable nature. This guy definitely had a dual personality; he was clearly two different people, in bed and out of bed. He just wanted an occasional treat; why keep failing?
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiang Tian went to handle the discharge procedures. Ling Zhengzhong packed his change of clothes in his bag, waiting for him to return. But Xiang Tian didn’t come back for a long time. Growing impatient, Ling Zhengzhong took his luggage and went downstairs to look for Xiang Tian.

There weren’t many people at the payment counter on the first floor. As Ling Zhengzhong came down the stairs, he saw Xiang Tian and Chu Feng standing together. He was about to go over and greet them, but Chu Feng’s next words made him stop abruptly.
“Haven’t you told Ling Zhengzhong about your transfer to the branch office in another city?”
Transferred to a branch office? Why a transfer to a branch office? Didn’t Xiang Tian say just a few days ago that he’d listen to him, quit his insurance job, and become a trainer at Yang Yixi’s gym?
“Oh, I haven’t told him yet. It isn’t a big deal…”
If it isn’t a big deal, then what is?!
Unexpectedly, Xiang Tian made such a decision without consulting him. Ling Zhengzhong, furious, strode forward and asked, “Xiang Tian, you’re being transferred to another city?”
“Zhengzhong…”
Ling Zhengzhong asked angrily, “What’s this about working in another city? Why didn’t you discuss it with me?”
Before Xiang Tian could answer, Chu Feng, standing to the side, laughed.
“Mr. Ling, what’s your relationship to my cousin? Why does he need to consult you before doing anything?”
These words easily added fuel to the fire. Normally, Ling Zhengzhong would have just laughed it off, but now he felt betrayed. He and Xiang Tian were clearly the closest lovers, so why was he the last to know? Chu Feng was right; they had no relationship whatsoever. What right did he have to question Xiang Tian?
Without another word, Ling Zhengzhong turned and walked out. Xiang Tian quickly chased after him. “Zhengzhong, don’t listen to my cousin’s nonsense; that’s not what I meant…”
“…”
“Zhengzhong…”
“Mr. Xiang, I’ll pay you back for the hospital fees later!”
Ling Zhengzhong finished coldly, waved for a taxi, got in, and drove away.
Unexpectedly, Ling Zhengzhong was so angry. Xiang Tian didn’t dare force him and could only watch helplessly as he got into the taxi and left. He could only vent his anger on Chu Feng, who had chased after him.
“Cousin, what are you saying?!”
The latter said somewhat aggrievedly, “Just kidding. Who knew he was so easily teased?”
The whole incident finally came to a peaceful end. Ling Zhengzhong’s department staff were eager to know the most accurate inside information, but upon seeing their manager’s gloomy face, everyone wisely kept their mouths shut. Even Le Hua handed him a cup of bitter tea and immediately left.
Why did he have to come to work as soon as he was discharged from the hospital? Why didn’t anyone congratulate him? Why wasn’t anyone comforting him? Was he really that unpopular?
Ling Zhengzhong, full of resentment, was grumbling at the pile of documents in front of him when his phone rang.
“Hello…”
“Zhengzhong, it’s me…”
Upon hearing Xiang Tian’s voice, Ling Zhengzhong slammed the phone down without a word.
Thinking he was the only one who could hang up? So could he!
But seeing that the phone, now back on the table, showed no sign of ringing, Ling Zhengzhong grew annoyed.
“Seriously? He won’t call back after being hung up on once? This little hamster has no resilience.”
He stared intently at the phone. Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes—the clock on the wall had completed more than half a circle, but the phone showed no sign of ringing again.
“Fine, little hamster, you’ve got guts. I’m really angry this time. You’d better not show your face in front of me, or you’ll be turning into a pig’s head.”
Just as Ling Zhengzhong was muttering to himself, the internal phone rang.
“Manager Ling, there’s an insurance agent from Tianyun Insurance Company outside who wants to see you.”
What’s with Le Hua’s work? Didn’t I tell her I never see salespeople? Wait, Tianyun Company? Hmm, he only seemed to know one insurance agent from Tianyun…
“Ask him his name? And what does he want?” Ling Zhengzhong said gruffly.
“His name is Xiang Tian!”
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Ling Zhengzhong felt that Le Hua emphasized the pronunciation of “Xiang Tian.” However, upon hearing that Xiang Tian was looking for him, Ling Zhengzhong’s mood immediately improved, but unfortunately, this joy only lasted five seconds.
“He said there’s an insurance policy specifically for Manager Ling, and he brought it over hoping you’ll sign it.”
What? He’s not here to apologize, but to sell insurance? Fine, Xiang Tian, you’ve got guts!!
“Tell that Mr. Xiang I won’t sign any insurance policies with him! And I’ll cancel any policies I’ve already signed. Tell him to leave immediately!!”
After giving the order, Ling Zhengzhong slammed the receiver down.
The phone didn’t ring again. Xiang Tian must have left. The quiet office was left with only Ling Zhengzhong, breathing heavily.
Did that little hamster love him? Why, after he had given him all his feelings, did the other person still treat their relationship so coldly? Even something as important as a job transfer wasn’t discussed with him? Did Xiang Tian consider him completely insignificant?
His hand unconsciously went to his neck. Xiang Tian had repaired the silver bullet chain and put it back on him, but now the person who gave him the chain was leaving without a word, without even a goodbye…
Ling Zhengzhong’s eyes welled up. His hand trembled as he touched the chain. Just as he was about to take it off, he heard footsteps. Le Hua walked in from outside.
