The heroine robs the marriage? The Beijing circle big man follows the army to the island

To thank Zhuang Mingdong for allowing her to go home to visit her family, Jian Yue also treated him to a meal.

At the dinner table, the two reviewed every detail of the project from its inception to the present.

Suddenly, Yu Jialing walked in.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Zhuang Mingdong and Jian Yue.

An extremely surprised expression instantly appeared on his face, his eyes widened, and his steps couldn't help but stop.

Jian Yue also saw Yu Jialing.

He was stunned at first, then a surprised smile appeared on his face.

He stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Jia Ling, why are you here? Come here!"

As he said that, he walked over and pulled Yu Jialing to sit next to him.

Yu Jialing sat down somewhat awkwardly, her eyes moving back and forth between Jian Yue and Zhuang Mingdong, her face full of disbelief.

Zhuang Mingdong was also a little surprised, but out of politeness, he smiled and nodded.

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward and subtle.

Jian Yue noticed the strange atmosphere and looked at Yu Jialing in confusion.

"Jia Ling, what's wrong with you? Do you know each other?"

Yu Jialing opened her mouth, seemingly not knowing how to answer.

After a while, he whispered, "Jian Yue, he... he is the person I liked that I told you about before."

Jian Yue was stunned. She never expected it to be like this.

My goodness, this is too bloody!

How come this beautiful country is so small? Everyone is gathered together.

She turned to look at Zhuang Mingdong and found that he also looked embarrassed.

Zhuang Mingdong frowned and looked at Yu Jialing.

"It's you?"

Yu Jialing nodded nervously, "Mr. Zhuang, I didn't expect to meet you here, and with Jian Yue."

Jian Yue felt very uncomfortable at this moment and tried to break the awkward situation.

"Haha, it's such a small world."

Yu Jialing smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to be like this. I only knew that you were working on a big project, but I didn't expect you to be with him."

Zhuang Mingdong coughed lightly, "Ms. Yu, I'm sorry."

Yu Jialing forced a smile, "No need to apologize, I'm just a little surprised. You guys continue eating, I won't disturb you."

Having said that, he prepared to get up and leave.

Jian Yue hurriedly held her back, "Jia Ling, don't leave. Let's have a meal together. This is nothing."

Yu Jialing hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.

The meal was particularly difficult, and all three of them were a little absent-minded.

Jian Yue tried hard to find a topic to talk about, but the atmosphere was still a little dull.

"Zhuang Mingdong, there are still many challenges ahead for this project. Do you have any new ideas?" She tried to turn the topic back to work to ease the awkwardness.

Zhuang Mingdong looked at Jian Yue and then at Yu Jialing.

"Well, we still need to strengthen quality control, especially during the construction of the main structure of the bridge. We cannot be careless at all."

Yu Jialing listened quietly at the side, occasionally interjecting a few words.

But there was still a look of loneliness in his eyes.

"Jia Ling, how are you doing lately? Is there anything fun?"

Yu Jialing shook her head. "Nothing special. Just a normal class."

Zhuang Mingdong seemed to sense Yu Jialing's discomfort and tried to make his tone gentler.

"Miss Yu, I hope your studies go well."

Yu Jialing forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuang. I will."

I've been chasing him for so long, but he still has such an indifferent attitude towards me.

The meal ended in an awkward and delicate atmosphere.

After dinner, Zhuang Mingdong offered to take them back to school.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant. The cool night breeze blew gently, but it could not blow away the slightly awkward atmosphere lingering between them.

Zhuang Mingdong walked to his car and opened the door.

Jian Yue was just about to pull Yu Jialing to sit in the back seat.

However, Yu Jialing seemed not to notice Jian Yue's actions. She walked straight to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.

At this moment, Zhuang Mingdong's face turned a little ugly.

His lips pursed slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Yu Jialing was sitting in the passenger seat, unaware that her actions were a little abrupt.

She did it on purpose, biting her lip and saying nothing.

Jian Yue was concentrating on tomorrow's flight and didn't pay much attention to this little episode, thinking that Yu Jialing did it unintentionally.

He silently opened the back door and got in.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was as depressing as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock.

Zhuang Mingdong drove the car attentively, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, without saying a word.

Yu Jialing looked out the car window with a blank look in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The car slowly stopped at the school gate.

Jian Yue broke the silence first, "Thank you for sending us off today, and thank you for your help on the project during this period."

Zhuang Mingdong nodded slightly: "It's okay, go back and prepare for tomorrow's trip."

Yu Jialing also whispered "thank you", but there was a hint of unnaturalness in her voice.

The two got out of the car. Zhuang Mingdong looked at their backs, sighed softly, and then drove away.

After returning to school, Yu Jialing couldn't wait to pull Jian Yue to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Jian Yue, you have to tell me what's going on between you and Zhuang Mingdong? Why are you having dinner together? And what do you do at work?" Yu Jialing asked a bunch of questions like a machine gun.

Jian Yue looked at her friend, feeling somewhat helpless as she sorted out her thoughts.

"We are just working partners. This bridge project is very large. I am responsible for design guidance and he is the group supervisor. We have to work together to ensure the smooth progress of the project. Today we are having a meal together while discussing work."

Yu Jialing blinked, "Just like that? How do you usually get along? Has he ever mentioned me?"

Jian Yue shook her head. "We spend most of our time talking about engineering and rarely anything else. He never mentioned you to me, but maybe he's too busy with work."

Jian Yue deliberately skipped over the fact that Zhuang Mingdong had confessed his love to her before.

Don't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

Yu Jialing listened to her and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see. I have to find another chance to get in touch with him. I really think he's special and I don't want to give up just like that."

As she spoke, Yu Jialing's eyes lit up with fighting spirit again.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the dormitory.

"I have to plan carefully. I can't let him ignore me like this. I can start with his interests and hobbies. Maybe I can bring us closer."

Jian Yue felt a little conflicted when she saw Yu Jialing like this.

On the one hand, I don't want to see Yu Jialing getting deeper and deeper into a relationship that might not have any future, but on the other hand, I don't know how to persuade her.

"Jia Ling, do you really want to do this? Sometimes you can't force love. Don't be too persistent. What if you're the one who gets hurt in the end?" Jian Yue couldn't help but persuade her.

Yu Jialing disagrees. "I'm not afraid of getting hurt. I don't want to leave any regrets for myself. If I don't try hard, I will always think about it."

Jian Yue sighed, "Okay, then you have to be careful and don't get too involved. If you have any questions, feel free to tell me."

"I know you're the best! Don't worry, I know my limits. I will definitely let Zhuang Mingdong see my good side."
