"...Don’t talk nonsense!" Wen Siyuan’s face darkened, "Professor Luo has a partner, don’t you know that? Besides, Professor Luo’s partner is very outstanding. You must not spread rumors in the institute, or else, just think about the consequences yourself!"
He Wei stood stunned.
Everyone lived in the same family quarters, so how could he possibly not know that Professor Luo had a partner? He had just been commenting on Teacher Shen’s attitude toward Professor Luo and hadn’t mentioned anything about Comrade Kang being good or bad, had he?
Moreover, Professor Luo’s partner was the goddaughter of the institute director’s couple; he didn’t want to lose his job at the institute by making such a low-level mistake.
Shen Yun prodded at her food with her chopsticks, lacking any appetite. Noticing Luo Yanqing about to head to the sink with his lunch box, she hastily called out, "I was home sick yesterday. I chatted with your sister-in-law in the afternoon. Don’t you want to know what I told her?"
As if not seeing the curious glances of the colleagues still eating their meals looking her way, Shen Yun looked directly into Luo Yanqing’s eyes with a gentle smile. Without waiting for Luo Yanqing to speak, she added, "There’s more than an hour before work this afternoon. Why doesn’t Professor Luo invite me to sit in your dorm?"
Luo Yanqing, "Comrade, do I know you?" His voice was crisp and deep, marked with obvious indifference and displeasure.
Wearing a black mid-length woolen coat over a white shirt and ash-grey wool sweater, at the moment, he hadn’t fastened his coat, his figure tall and straight. With one hand holding an empty lunch box and the other casually tucked into his pocket, the gaze he fixed on Shen Yun was aloof and cold. If one paid close attention, they could discern a hint of disgust from it.
"Luo Yanqing, you..."
He loathed her. Beyond the aloofness and coldness, he... had come to loathe her.
Shen Yun quivered, a trace of hurt uncontrollably emerging in her gaze.
Yet, Luo Yanqing completely ignored it and turned towards the sink.
His figure looked exceptionally aloof and proud. Yet it was this very man who had haunted Shen Yun’s dreams during her years abroad, leading her to dissolve her own good marriage.
She found it even harder now to let go of her feelings.
