However, those girls only dared to hint or send their families to approach him.
None had ever been as direct as Fang Manping in expressing her feelings to him.
But...
After his initial shock, Li Tingxuan cald down and said, "Comrade Fang, thank you for your affection."
"I appreciate your feelings for , and thank you for telling ."
Li Tingxuan did not think Fang Manping’s confession was inappropriate or shaless.
If you have feelings, you should speak them out loud.
"Comrade Fang, you are a brave and passionate girl, a good girl too."
He admired this brave and passionate Fang Manping.
But...
"But, Comrade Fang, I’m sorry, I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you, so..."
Initially, Fang Manping’s eyes lit up when she heard Li Tingxuan’s praise, thinking she had a chance.
She never expected Li Tingxuan to change his tone directly, sending her mood plumting.
Her heart sank instantly and shattered into countless pieces.
"Can’t you really consider being with ?"
Fang Manping’s tone was full of pleading, her eyes reddening, and tears began to fall.
"Maybe, maybe after we get together, you’ll see my good qualities?"
"I, I may not be that great, but I have my strengths. You can point out my flaws, and I will change, I will change..."
Fang Manping was choking up, barely able to speak clearly.
She was also at a loss.
At that mont, Li Tingxuan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Fang Manping.
His tone remained gentle, "Comrade Fang, you have no faults, and nothing needs changing."
"Rember, you are who you are, unless you want to beco better and change, otherwise, do not change yourself for anyone."
"And do not humble yourself because of love."
"I believe, in the future, you will beco a better you."
"And the better you will surely find soone who loves, cherishes, and commits to you for a lifeti, only..."
"Only, that person cannot be you, right?" Fang Manping completed Li Tingxuan’s sentence.
Li Tingxuan nodded, gently placing the handkerchief into Fang Manping’s hand.
"Comrade Fang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now, I need to head to the military region."
"I hope Comrade Fang gets better and better in the future."
With that, Li Tingxuan nodded to Fang Manping and then got into the car.
Fang Manping could only watch as the car moved farther and farther out of her sight.
She clutched that plain white handkerchief given by Li Tingxuan, recalling his words.
"Li Tingxuan, you are always so gentle..."
Even words of rejection were spoken so gently.
In reality, Fang Manping knew she was not that good nor that brave.
She knew that although she hadn’t done anything terribly wrong, she had done so minor bad things.
She knew there was a shadow in her heart.
But, Li Tingxuan thought she was great.
Fang Manping watched the car disappear from her view and her gaze gradually turned determined.
Actually, she had sowhat expected Li Tingxuan’s rejection before she ca.
But...
Even after being rejected, Fang Manping was still unwilling to give up.
But she didn’t plan on using any drastic ans to entangle Li Tingxuan.
Since Li Tingxuan thought she was such a good person, then...
She would strive to beco more outstanding. Fang Manping thought, if she beca more excellent, wouldn’t there be a slight possibility that Li Tingxuan might start to like her?
Even if there’s a sliver of hope, she would give it her all!

That day, Gu Jia Ning still took the car to the Hua Family to treat Hua Zhenrong.
In two days, Hua Zhenrong’s treatnt would be completely finished.
After the treatnt, Hua Zhenrong saw her to the door. As he was sending Gu Jia Ning to the car, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure.
If it weren’t for Hua Zhenrong’s background as a reconnaissance soldier, he wouldn’t have noticed it.
Not far away, Li Tingxuan seed to be taking a walk, but in fact, was observing in this direction.
No, to be precise, it wasn’t him, but his sister-in-law from just now.
Hua Zhenrong slightly frowned.
Since he had woken up, it was he who had been seeing Gu Jia Ning in and out of the Hua Family.
And Hua Zhenrong had spotted Li Tingxuan several tis.
At first, he thought it was a coincidence, but when coincidences beca frequent, it was not a coincidence.
Li Tingxuan hadn’t approached, but Hua Zhenrong still knew he was observing his sister-in-law Gu Jia Ning.
And that gaze...
Li Tingxuan, could he possibly like his sister-in-law Gu Jia Ning!
Earlier, Hua Zhenrong thought it was a coincidence and didn’t want to tell his brother to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"No, I have to tell Ze Xi." After all, he heard that Li Tingxuan was going to be transferred to the Northwest Military Region soon.
So, Hua Zhenrong turned around and went ho to make a phone call.
And on this side, Li Tingxuan watched as Gu Jia Ning’s figure faded into the distance, though he really wanted to talk to her, he restrained himself.
It was only upon seeing Hua Zhenrong’s expression that he slightly frowned.
This Hua Zhenrong, could he have discovered sothing?
To be honest, ever since he made up his mind, Li Tingxuan planned to stay away from Gu Jia Ning, essentially not planning to approach her voluntarily.
Unexpectedly, in the past few days, when he was out in the morning, he unexpectedly ran into her.
It was truly a coincidence.
This coincidence made Li Tingxuan a mix of amusent and bitterness.
Looks like even such coincidences should be avoided in the future; he doesn’t want Gu Jia Ning to be misunderstood by anyone.
After taking one last deep look at Gu Jia Ning’s departing figure, Li Tingxuan turned and went ho.
Over here, Hua Zhenrong returned ho, checked the ti, and made a phone call to Sheng Zexi.
Upon hearing there was a call from the communications office, Sheng Zexi initially thought it was his wife calling, but was surprised to find it was Hua Zhenrong.
"Why are you calling? Is there sothing with my wife?" Sheng Zexi could only think of this reason.
Hua Zhenrong, hearing this, gritted his teeth, "Sheng Zexi, since marrying your wife, you’ve truly beco a wife’s servant, always talking about your wife."
Over the phone, Sheng Zexi didn’t hesitate to retort, "If you marry a capable and beautiful girl like my wife, can you not keep her in mind all the ti?"
Hua Zhenrong imagined such a scenario, and it really seed possible.
But the next second, he heard Sheng Zexi say, "But you’ll never et soone like her; mine is the best, at most you’ll find soone not as good as my wife."
Hua Zhenrong: "Sheng Zexi, you!"
This guy just couldn’t stop ridiculing others.
"Do you talk to your sister-in-law this way too?"
"Of course not." Talking to his wife, it would naturally only be sweet words then.
