Chapter 353 The Desolation in His Eyes

As far back as she can remember, that family was always arguing and fighting.

If this is true of one's family of origin, how much more so of a complete stranger?

While there are many wonderful things in this society, there are also far too many unpleasant things.

Back in my school days, there were many couples dating, and many of them broke up because of cheating.

After entering society, I saw even more of the ugliness of human nature.

In her industry, it's unavoidable that she has to entertain clients.

Those older men often looked at her with lewd eyes, and some even tried to take advantage of her by offering to keep her as a mistress. All of these men were married.

She fears marriage, so she doesn't want to invest any emotions in it.

Even if she were to get married someday, she wouldn't choose a man she likes.

She felt that her unremarkable personality and abilities were simply not up to par, and if a man didn't love her, at least he wouldn't be heartbroken.

Now, facing a man who stirs her heart but remains unattainable, she can only gaze at him from afar, keeping her distance with respect.

Qi Xuan returned

When he looked up at Gu Panzi, his gaze became as frivolous as before.

Why are you looking at me with such adoring eyes? Have you suddenly realized you're falling for me? If so, maybe I'll consider giving you a chance.

Gu Panzi couldn't quite tell which of the man's words were true and which were false.

His attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards Xia Youxin.

If she remembered correctly, Qi Xuan should have a girlfriend.

So what does this mean now? This man is too dangerous; he's simply not someone of her level to handle.

Gu Panzi withdrew her gaze, her face still indifferent. What had just happened had already dampened her spirits, but now, upon seeing him, her heartbeat had returned to normal.

"When you leave, remember to close the door for me. Xiaxia is still waiting for me downstairs. I'm going down now."

When this name was mentioned, Qi Xuan's smile clearly froze.

The name Xia Youxin seems to have become a taboo in his life, and no one can easily mention it.

Gu Panzi hurriedly grabbed her bag and went downstairs.

Xia Youxin's car was parked downstairs in the residential area.

Thinking about what had just happened, Gu Panzi felt she still needed to explain, so she opened the passenger door and got into the car.

When she got on the bus, she saw Xia Youxin staring out the window at the God of Poetry, seemingly lost in thought, her eyes filled with a touch of melancholy.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a forlorn look in Xia Youxin's eyes.

She wondered if the melancholy in her eyes was related to Qi Xuan.

Xia Youxin snapped out of her daze and handed her the breakfast that was placed in front of her. "This is your breakfast. I've already eaten. We're going to meet the client now, so you can eat it on the way!"

After saying that, Xia Youxin started the car and left the community.

Qi Xuan stood at the second-floor window, his eyes fixed intently on the red Audi that drove away.

Her sensual, thin lips eventually formed a straight line, and her eyes held a multitude of emotions.

Gu Panzi couldn't eat breakfast at all. After a few bites, she felt as if she had swallowed a stone, which made her throat hurt.

"Xiaxia, actually, things between me and President Qi aren't what you think..."
