Postponed Love
Fate had bestowed great gifts upon Tian Ling. People said that when the heavens were at their happiest, they encountered him just as he was born and granted him all the advantages the world could offer.
Just look at him: a handsome face, a tall and upright figure, a high salary, and an impressive status. These traits attracted countless beautiful, charming, and sexy young women.
Tian Ling had reached a marriageable age but was still single, causing both curiosity and admiration among the women around him. As a deputy general manager of a large state-owned enterprise, he had numerous eligible female subordinates. Was there really no suitable one among them? Definitely not.
Tian Ling had his own ideas, but he uniformly responded to all women who tried to get close to him with a polite smile.
The young women were puzzled: “This guy, just because he has some status, he’s become arrogant and untouchable? Isn’t he just a guy with some money and status? Or is he perhaps ill…” In the factory, people speculated all sorts of things about him.
Tian Ling continued to smile and only maintained a distant and platonic relationship with women, never stepping into the realm of romance. As for love, he had two words: postpone it.
As a deputy general manager with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, Tian Ling had his reservations. Who could tell whether the admiring glances from these women were for his status or for financial satisfaction? Therefore, postponing love was necessary.
However, during this period, Tian Ling met a woman named Shan Yan.
Shan Yan was a young woman working at a foreign company, holding a department head position with a six-figure annual salary. She had gone from avoiding feelings to yearning for them over the past decade. After turning thirty, she met Tian Ling. Thus, the two ignited a passionate romance, burning brightly and intensely.
Tian Ling no longer had any concerns. Their financial status and positions were equal, and their looks and charms were well-matched. There were no feelings of charity or being a charity case, no suspicions of flattery or being flattered. They were a perfect match, made for each other.
Shan Yan often came over to visit, and Tian Ling often went to see her. They talked about love and romance throughout the year and three months but still hadn’t worn wedding attire.
Every time Tian Ling brought up marriage, Shan Yan would always put it off.
The more anxious Tian Ling became, the calmer Shan Yan remained.
Finally, Shan Yan asked, “Marriage is something we must do. Are you fully prepared?”
Tian Ling replied, “I’ve been ready for a long time.”
As Tian Ling said this, he recalled everything about their relationship, especially the preparations for the wedding. Everything was in order, without any flaws that could lead to regret.
Shan Yan asked, “What about the ring?”
The wedding ring! Tian Ling suddenly remembered. But this wasn’t a big issue. He said, “The ring? I showed it to you a month ago, didn’t I?”
Indeed, since he showed the ring to Shan Yan, it had slipped from his memory. Where was that ring now? Although the ring was a small matter, using it to get married was a big deal. It was an original ring, and replacing it haphazardly wouldn’t be auspicious.
Tian Ling thought and thought but couldn’t remember.
At this moment, Shan Yan took out the ring box and said, “Tell me, what else is in this box besides the ring?”
Tian Ling replied, “Besides the ring, what else could be in the ring box?”
Shan Yan smiled and opened the ring box.
Tian Ling saw, lying quietly at the bottom of the ring box, a condom. He suddenly remembered that when he showed Shan Yan the ring, he intended to create a special atmosphere for an intimate moment between them. Tian Ling thought it wasn’t a big deal since they lived in modern times where such things were common.
However, he still wanted to explain.
Shan Yan said, “No need to explain. The problem isn’t the act itself. The problem is that you didn’t express your intentions clearly or follow through with them. I can only assume this item was meant for someone else.”
She continued, “Your advantages are obvious in your company. So, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to do such things with other women.”
Feeling wronged, Tian Ling thought that sometimes advantages could become targets of suspicion. There was no use explaining now. He could only ask, “So, what do you suggest?”
Shan Yan replied, “Our feelings remain, but as for love, let’s postpone it.”
