"Yeah."
"Does Actor Xu not know she's already married? Are you trying to incite her to have an affair by saying such things?"
"Wen Yibai, that's enough."
Xiang Jin couldn't hold back any longer and looked at him with a cold expression.
"I am indeed very dirty and do not deserve to be friends with someone from a prestigious family like you, but please respect my privacy and do not use these things to slander me and the people around me."
"You have your nobility, and I have my dignity."
"Dignity? Do you even know what dignity is?"
He liked her back then and was determined to pursue her. He spared no effort to get close to her and they became friends.
And what did she do? She refused him without hesitation, showing him no mercy whatsoever, making him the laughingstock of the entire school.
Now she actually wants to talk to him about dignity? She actually has the nerve to talk to him about dignity.
"What, I only rejected you once and embarrassed you, and you're still holding a grudge? Wen Yibai, how come I never noticed before that you were so narrow-minded?"
"Even I've stopped dwelling on the past, are you still stuck in the memory of that rejection?"
"Someone like you doesn't deserve my affection. Even if I had to do it all over again, I would make the same decision. I hope you'll think twice before you act." With that, Xiang Jin left the office.
Her hands were a little cold.
Besides the burning sensation at the burn site...
But that's how wounds need to be—you have to remove the rotten flesh before new flesh can grow. If he keeps dwelling on the past, he'll not only destroy himself, but also others.
So, she just wanted to yell at him to wake him up.
After all, they used to be friends.
"I'm sorry, I messed up the project..."
On the way back, Xiang Jin gradually calmed down and looked at Xu Jianshen with some guilt.
Xu Jianshen shook his head and smiled.
“I’ve said it before, his insult to you is an insult to Yixin. If he continues with this attitude, I’d rather not take on this project.”
It was only done out of respect for the Wen family; he's not short of money.
"However, between you and him—"
"It's nothing, it's all in the past." Xiang Jin took a deep breath, not wanting to continue the topic.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xu Jianshen didn't say anything more.
…………
Wens Foodstuff Group.
Even after Xiang Jin and Xu Jianshen had been gone for a long time, Wen Yibai remained in that same position.
His face was frighteningly somber.
After a while, he took out his phone and made a call: "Come to my office now, immediately!"
A short while later, Xiang Yiling appeared at the office door.
"What's wrong, Yibai? I was just shopping, why did you suddenly call me over? Is there something wrong—oh dear!"
Before she could finish speaking, a forceful hand suddenly grabbed her and dragged her into the office.
With a reverse slam, Xiang Yiling was pinned against the door.
He held her hands firmly above her head, staring into those similar fox-like eyes with immense anger in his own eyes.
A passionate, domineering kiss landed, followed by the sound of clothes tearing.
"Mr. Wen, these are the marketing department documents you requested. Would you like them sent in?" the secretary asked from outside the door.
There was no sound from the room.
"Mr. Wen?"
At that moment, intermittent breathing could be heard coming from the office. The secretary realized what was happening, and her face immediately turned red to the roots of her ears.
She didn't dare say anything more and quickly left with the documents.
"What, you're not letting your little secretary in?" Xiang Yiling hooked her arm around Wen Yibai's.
This man is handsome and comes from a good family; he's the man Xiang Qi likes, but now she's hooked up with him.
If Xiangqi found out, she would be furious, wouldn't she?
Ha, she's the most promising woman in the Xiang family, yet she's so ambitious that she wants to climb up to Murong Xiao. She's not that ambitious; she'd be content just to cling to the Wen family, this big tree.
Hearing her voice, the man's voice deepened: "What, you want to let her in?"
"How annoying..." Xiang Yiling gave a weak hum and didn't say anything more.
Wen Yibai looked at the woman in front of him.
Those captivating fox-like eyes flickered slightly, with a light that seemed to flicker, just like the way Xiang Jin called him.
The person beneath him now had that aloof face, as if she were proudly pursing her lips, looking at him with disdain, just as she had rejected him before.
"I'm sorry, Yibai, I already have someone I like."
"If you can't forget me, then let's not be friends for now."
...
The man's expression darkened slightly.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his body, and the veins on his hands bulged.
It is said that unrequited love is a major taboo.
But no one has ever said how to avoid loving someone you can't have.
He didn't know when he would be free, but one day he would get everything, including her.
…………
After a long while, the tenderness gradually faded, and Xiang Yiling lay lazily on the sofa, hooking Wen Yibai's chin.
"What's wrong with you today?" She felt that he was different from usual today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. It was as if he was very close to her, yet very far away.
Xiang Yiling slowly approached him, wanting to kiss his lips, but Wen Yibai subconsciously dodged away.
The emotions in her eyes had faded.
The person in front of her was ultimately just someone who looked like her, but... not her.
After venting, a huge emptiness filled him, even more so than before.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly ignoring me?" Xiang Yiling pouted, feeling a little aggrieved. Are all men so heartless and ruthless?
Wen Yibai remained silent.
His gaze fell silently into the distance, unfocused.
Just then, my phone rang.
Xiang Yiling casually picked it up, glanced at it, gave a meaningful "oh," and swiped to answer the call—
"Yi Bai, are you busy right now?" The voice on the other end was soft, elegant, and gentle; it was none other than Xiang Qi.
Wen Yibai frowned slightly.
He glared at Xiang Yiling, then took the phone: "No, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just missed you. You went back to talk business for so long and didn't even call me back." There was a hint of shyness in her voice.
They are still boyfriend and girlfriend.
Although it was not made public.
After Xiang Qi went abroad, she began to pursue Wen Yibai intensely. For some reason, Wen Yibai, who was usually indifferent, did not refuse her this time.
Later, the two got together.
If you count the days, we've been together for more than half a year.
Their relationship was neither good nor bad, proceeding in a gentle and peaceful manner, until Xiang Qi met Murong Xiao at that event.
Compared to Wen Yibai, Murong Xiao's path is wider, broader, and brighter. Xiang Qi became arrogant and started to look down on Wen Yibai.
The two had more and more conflicts, and later they quarreled again. Wen Yibai then returned to China under the pretext of discussing a project.
Xiang Qi panicked again.
It's still uncertain whether Murong Xiao can win him over, but he can't afford to lose this golden son-in-law from the Wen family, so he called again to take the initiative to show his goodwill.
"I'm very busy too, let's contact each other when I'm done."
Wen Yibai hung up the phone.
