Liu Fengsheng heard this and explained with a smile, "My mom loves eating crabs, and we eat a lot at ho, but mostly it’s my mom who does it. I help her out, cleaning the crabs is fine, but I can’t handle cooking them."
Fang Pingying glanced at Liu Fengsheng, it seed that since she t him, besides work, the things he talked about the most in front of her were about Tingting and his mother.
And every ti he ntioned them, his face showed a deep, unchanging warmth.
Fang Pingying teasingly said, "It seems that our Brother Liu is also a filial child."
"As children, it’s only right that we are filial to our parents; our parents didn’t have it easy raising us," Liu Fengsheng said. At these words, Fang Pingying’s smile paused for a mont. Luo Zhiyong seed to have said sothing similar to her before, and back then, she very much agreed with it. However, she didn’t realize that being too filial could also be problematic.
Noticing sothing off in Fang Pingying’s expression, recalling the issues at her house, Liu Fengsheng added, "But being filial cos in many forms. One shouldn’t blindly obey their parents, mindless filial piety isn’t right either. Otherwise, it might harm not only one’s own family but also the parents. I believe everything should have its limits."
Upon hearing this, Fang Pingying’s lips twitched, and she didn’t speak further, feeling that Liu Fengsheng’s words were pointed, specifically intended for her, regarding Luo Zhiyong.
In fact, these latter words were indeed directed at Luo Zhiyong.
Recently, quite a lot had happened in Fang Pingying’s family. Now, as they worked together, sotis through Zeng Weiguo and Juzi, Liu Fengsheng also learned so things about the Luo Family. Frankly speaking, he felt sympathy for Fang Pingying.
Such a woman, in his eyes, was indeed near perfect. A strong woman outside, a good wife and mother at ho, yet Luo Zhiyong had not cherished her, causing so many troubles, and in the end, they even divorced due to those ssy family issues.
Now, she alone had to handle everything at ho and at work, which made it hard not to feel sympathy for her.
However, the mont he learned they had divorced, Liu Fengsheng felt a bit complicated inside.
Ever since he first saw Fang Pingying in the town’s supply and sales cooperative, during the ti she was arguing with soone, he felt she was extraordinary. After getting to know her, he found himself increasingly admiring her.
Especially after knowing the significant developnts she had made in the provincial city in such a short ti, he thought of her as almost godlike.
Later, when buying a house, he initially didn’t plan to buy it here. However, after learning that Fang Pingying lived downstairs, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to buy that house on impulse.
At that ti, buying the house was a spur-of-the-mont decision driven by the impulse to know this godlike woman better, understand what skills she had to have achieved so much in the provincial city.
Moreover, he indeed needed a house then, so he settled on this one.
But what he didn’t expect was that as they got to know each other better, he began to develop feelings for Fang Pingying. He couldn’t help wanting to get closer, care, and understand her.
However, he also knew she was a married woman and had a good relationship with her husband. He had never thought of disrupting that, feeling it was nice just living upstairs and downstairs, occasionally seeing her.
After all, at their age, they had passed the phase where love ans life and death; they considered more things than when they were younger.
No matter how intense his feelings were, he would never beco the third party, would never destroy their marriage. It was enough for him if he could help her when she needed help, and speak a few words to comfort her when she needed it.
But what he hadn’t expected was that Pingying and Luo Zhiyong really got divorced.
Thus, he felt a bit more hopeful inside.
Liu Fengsheng was an honest and upright person, and his words were indeed about Luo Zhiyong, so he straightforwardly said, "Like Zhiyong’s parents, many tis Zhiyong didn’t need to be so accommodating. If he hadn’t always indulged them, perhaps your marriage wouldn’t have co to this."
"He..."
At this mont, in Fang Pingying’s eyes, if she really compared Liu Fengsheng and Luo Zhiyong, she still felt closer to Luo Zhiyong. Regardless of anything, he was still the father of her two children. Even if Luo Zhiyong had these faults, she wouldn’t discuss them with others behind his back.
Thus, originally, Fang Pingying was prepared to refute Liu Fengsheng, but coincidentally, she didn’t finish her words when there ca a knock at the door. Seeing Luo Honglan wasn’t in the living area, and Tingting was just playing with the two little ones and hadn’t noticed anything, she moved through the kitchen intending to cross Liu Fengsheng to answer the door.
Feeling it was a hassle, Liu Fengsheng said, "I’ll get it."
When Liu Fengsheng opened the door and saw the person outside, he was slightly stunned.
Speaking of the devil, and he shall appear. The person outside was indeed Luo Zhiyong, dressed in military attire and looking a bit tired.
Standing outside, Luo Zhiyong was surprised for a good while upon seeing Liu Fengsheng inside. Especially seeing Liu Fengsheng wearing an apron that he used to wear frequently, it seed not like a visitor but rather like the owner, which made Luo Zhiyong rather uncomfortable.
Both n were taken aback by each other’s presence, thus they didn’t speak for a while at the door.
In the kitchen, Fang Pingying, seeing no activity at the door for a long ti, held a spatula in one hand as she peeked towards the door, smiling and asking, "Who is it?"
Liu Fengsheng ca to his senses, stepped back to let Luo Zhiyong co in, while still smiling to Fang Pingying, "Oh Pingying, it’s Zhiyong who’s co over."
Hearing this, Fang Pingying’s hand holding the spatula trembled slightly. She hadn’t expected him to really co.
After a mont of silence, Fang Pingying put down the spatula in the kitchen and went to the living room, greeted Luo Zhiyong, "You’re here. Good timing. Yaoyao and Ruirui were just clamoring to see you."
Luo Zhiyong glanced at Ruirui and Yaoyao playing happily and didn’t imdiately go over.
His gaze lingered for a long ti on Fang Pingying’s face, and when everyone felt awkward, he finally spoke, "Have you had dinner?"
"No, was just about to cook," Fang Pingying shook her head, pointed to the kitchen stuff, and then asked casually, "What about you? Have you eaten? Maybe you can go play with Ruirui and Yaoyao."
Fang Pingying only asked casually, knowing the regintal canteen had fixed al tis every day, so Luo Zhiyong should have already eaten at this ti.
