Chapter 46: Letter

Start from the beginning
                                    

Cen Zhengnian didn't respond; he got up and headed out. The gentle smile on his face faded a bit, indicating that he didn't want to discuss family matters with Yu Tian.

"My dormitory is not the place to talk about work, let's go to the lab and talk."

Yu Tian saw his meaning, no longer prying more, and he walked outside while talking.

However, Cen Zhengnian was usually too dignified, and now that he saw him descending into the world. He couldn't help but tease him a bit more.

Fang Lingling just happened to pass by the two, and heard Yu Tian say that Cen Zhengnian's wife had sent something. He was asking Cen Zhengnian what she had sent, and if she had sent a lot of it to make Cen Zhengnian seem to be in such a good mood.

Listening to these words, she couldn't help but feel a sourness in her heart. She jokingly remarked, "It looks like Mr. Cen and his wife have a very good relationship. I used to see that it's always Mr. Cen who sends money and things to his home, and thought that Mr. Cen's wife doesn't know how to be romantic, but I never thought his wife would be so affectionate."

Cen Zhengnian glanced at her, and Fang Lingling's smile froze on her face as if he could see right through her thoughts.

Cen Zhengnian retracted his gaze and said lightly, "The base is a place of work, I hope that my personal matters will not become the focus of everyone's discussion."

Fang Lingling's face turned red in an instant, and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to hide. She knew Cen Zhengnian was talking about her. She couldn't help but feel resentful. They had grown up in the same family compound, so why did he show no concern for their childhood friendship?

She had heard that his wife was forced upon him by the family, a girl from a working-class background who was far from sophisticated, a bit naive. She wondered why he cared so much about her.

Unfortunately, Cen Zhengnian finished speaking and left with Yu Tian. Yu Tian realized his words had caused trouble and didn't dare say more, focusing on discussing work matters with Cen Zhengnian.

Jiang Shengnan finally caught her husband when he had some free time and eagerly showed him the things that Chu Xia and An'an had sent.

"I've sent so many things to Liangzhou. I was worried that Chu Xia might feel wronged marrying our family, Zhengnian, especially since he can't come home often. This is the first time I've received something she sent."

The original owner, apart from sending a letter to Cen Zhengnian once every few months, mostly focused on her family. Wang Yulan never taught her about the etiquette of reciprocation, so she didn't understand these things.

She was even afraid of Jiang Shengnan and Father Cen, thinking that they were both officials and too majestic so she wanted to stay as far away as possible, let alone take the initiative to send a letter.

Therefore, Jiang Shengnan did not know anything other than that she and An'an were doing well from Cen Zhengnian.

Now that Jiang Shengnan had received something, although not much, including bookmarks, scarves, medicinal wine and other things, it also represents her heart.

Jiang Shengnan was overjoyed: "Old Cen, look at this silk scarf,  it's just to my liking. How do you think Chu Xia knew that it's windy here, and that I like dark green scarves. And this medicinal wine is just right for you, don't you think you're not feeling well lately, I will use this medicinal wine to give you a massage. Do you think she specifically asked Zhengnian to prepare these for us?"
