Lin Xiao pondered for a long time but still found herself at a loss. She had no idea what love felt like, nor did she understand what it meant to fall in love with someone. Over the years, she had structured her life around small goals, working diligently to achieve them, fearful of making even the slightest mistake. She was not the type of person who could afford to make errors.
However, Lin Mu had urged her many times. In Lin Mu's eyes, a woman having a good place to settle down was the best outcome.
When Zhao Chengxing received Lin Xiao's text message, he did not reply and later shared this news with Li Hao.
Li Hao was not surprised when he received the message. His former role as a secretary had made him overly cautious; his professional circle was narrow, and he lacked any particular hobbies or interests. Within their group, everyone seemed to be encased in their own shells, unwilling to be the first to break free.
"Lin Ren, have you arrived?" Li Hao sent a text to Lin Xiao.
When Lin Xiao received the message, she found it somewhat amusing. He had come to see them off when they left the hotel; they hadn’t taken a flight, so how could they have arrived so quickly?
"No. Congratulations, Secretary Li." Lin Xiao initially wanted to respond directly but felt it was too stiff and added a softer ending.
Last night, after Li Hao had entertained the thought of trying something with Lin Xiao, he reviewed their previous messages and found her quite interesting. Her punctuation was always correct; periods and commas were clearly placed.
Li Hao chose not to reply to her message. With her personality, being too enthusiastic would only make her more guarded.
As expected by Li Hao, the lack of a response from him relieved Lin Xiao.
Another week passed, and Li Hao's appointment announcement was posted on the Provincial Government's website.
"Lin Ren, your efficiency is quite impressive. Thank you." When Lin Xiao received another text from Li Hao, she felt a chill run down her spine and even experienced a sense of aversion.
In Lin Xiao's perception, he was not the type to curry favor or flatter others; she even sensed a hint of literary aloofness about him. Even amidst the clinking of glasses at banquets, his demeanor remained distinct from others.
Lin Xiao felt she must have been blind in the past; how could she have held him in such high regard? How had this environment transformed him into someone so unrecognizable?
Li Hao waited for Lin Xiao's text from morning until night but received nothing from her again. He continued to be busy as usual and had forgotten about pursuing Lin Xiao.
Regarding Lin Xiao, he couldn't say he liked her that much—there was some fondness there—but it was hard not to be moved by such an outstanding and beautiful woman. Perhaps he thought she was more suitable for him after all.
After all, whatever she undertook always seemed to satisfy her. With her personality, she wouldn’t stray or cause unnecessary trouble; with her capabilities, she could manage family matters well; and with her intelligence, any children they might have would surely be exceptional.
On Friday evening, Zhao Chengxing sent a text: "How are things going with Lin Xiao?"
In Zhao Chengxing's eyes, Lin Xiao had found Li Hao, which felt like a blessing from eight generations of ancestors. Here, it was only a matter of how Li Hao thought about it.
When Li Hao saw the message, he suddenly remembered the matter and muttered that he had forgotten.
Zhao Chengxing seemed to express a sense of frustration, urging him, "Come on, my mentor's wife is pushing me again. Please spare me."
Li Hao looked at the message with helplessness. Why did people always have to find a wife?
He recalled Deputy Minister Lu's heartfelt advice about getting married early, settling down, and taking on greater responsibilities for the organization.
Deputy Minister Lu had mentioned this in reference to Li Hao's previous comment about having a girlfriend abroad.
During the recent meeting of the Provincial Committee regarding his appointment, some members had raised objections, arguing that he was too unstable.
Li Hao thought to himself that after five years, it was time to let go.
